BRYAN'S ULTIMATUM : TO THE CONVENTION He Will Make No Concession on Silver Issue. THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE Plutforiu Must Make a Specific Docfar 1/: fn 1 r..lnca If l)nnc flirt Convent Ion Will Have to l'ut Up Another Candidate. Ivaxsas City, July J.?"Bryan will not run on any platform which (loos not contain a specific declaration in favor of free coinage at the ratio of 10 to 1. If :his convention does not put that declaration in tho platform it will liavo to nominate another caudidato for presilcnt." This statement was mado by Judge A. 3. Tibbitts of Lincoln, delegntoat-lai'go from Mr. Bryan's own state and chairman of the state delegation to this convention. It serves to emphasize the determined stand taken by the Nebraska statesman. Lis declaration is that lie stands for a principle and those who ivould have him change or modify his views are swinging simply in the wind jf exjK'di; ney. Cato Sells, chairman of the Iowa delegation. who had a tl ivo b.otirs' confirmee with Mr. Bryan before he came to Kansas City, not only reaffirms the statement ma !o by Judge Tibbitts, but leolares that Mr. llryau bus intimated is much to him. "If tho convention should refuse to 1 rclniv distinctively for free coinage at 1(1 to 1?" asked a i\ porter. "Then Mr. Bryan would say emphatcally: 'i will not b 'theetiudi late.'

Petti ;^rew, I hi tier and Lleitfeld of the Populists. If is distinctly a harmony e mteretieo. All are willin;; to mak ? emces-ions in order that peace may prevail in th< eon vein ion. In connection with Richard Croker's presence at the conference it is understood, on authority, that lie and former liovornor Hill a thorough understanding and are in perfect accord us to their action in the convention. They will do everything in their jvjwt r, it is maintained, to advance the interests of the party. It is suggested stiougly that Uroker nor Hill (It sires the nomination of Townc for vice president. While the New York delegates have not presented formally any candidate, it i.s known that llill favors the nomination ot Elliott Danforth and that (Jroker is quietly pressing the claims of Judge Augustus Van Wyck. Stranger things have happened in many a convention than the nomination of Danforth or Van Wyck, or both. Notwithstanding the fact that Towuo scorns now to have the most distinct call for tho nomination, it cannot be disguisod that many delegates want a straight out Democrat on tho ticket with Bryan. Eikewiso they are looking to New York to furnish that candidate, because they believes with a strong man from the Empire stato on the ticket tho party will have an oven chance to carry tiio state and perhaps one or two other eastern states. So prevalent is this belief and so strong is the hold it has taken on tho delegates during tl.e past few hours that Mr. Bryan, who is thought to favor Towno's nomination, may make a concession on the vice presidential candidate, even if he will not 011 tho platform. The convention will bo called to order at noon and unless present plans are upset Bryan will bo nominated for the presidency at the first session. He is to bu presented to tho American peoplo as the Fourth of July candidate. Tho scene gives promise of being 0110 of the most dramatic that ever was seen iu a political convention. And then, according to program, Mr. Bryan is to be brought to Kansas City by a special notification and escort committee and ho will deliver his speech accenting tho nomination iu the sumo hall as his nomination was made. LEAVE FOR KANSAS CITY. I Tide of Democratic Humanity Has Turned From Lincoln. Lincoln, Neb., July 3.?Tho tido of Democratic humanity lias turned outward from Lincoln, mosfoTMr. Bryan's visitors leaving on early morning trains for Kansas Oity. Congressman James Kerr of Pennsylvania, tho last man with a special mission to arrivo from Kansas City, following closely on the heels of David B. Hill, was as uncommunicative as his fir edecessor as to his visit and its object. I The impression gains ground thnt tho Nebraska delegates ore tho authorized keeper of tho Bryan secret and that his wishes concerning tho platform and second place on tho ticket, if ho has any clioico of ruuningrnates, will be divulged when tho proper time arrives by tho mon from his own stato. The wearing of Towue's badgot by tho Noluufckaus at Kjtuuui Oity hat no significance ontsido of Nebraska. The coupling <>f tho names of Brvan nod "% Towno (loos not commit Mr. Bryan to tho support of tho Miunesotiui, but merely represents tho views of tho dologates themselves. Mr. Bryan will have few visitors and will improve the opportunity to get all tho rest lie can preparatory to tho era ill which is expected in Lincoln at the conclusion of tho convention. While Mr. Bryan has stated distinctly that ho will not attend tho convention if tho delegates before adjourning request his presence to address them it is hardly thought he will refuse. Clark Delegation Wins. Kansas City, June 110.?The subcommit too of the national Democrutio committoo appointed to investigate tho Montana contest has decided to recommend the soating of tho Clark delegates from that state. The vote stood 4 to 1^^^ in Clark's favor, Mr. Williams casting tho only vote against him. Duuforth or Townc. Kansas City, July 3.?As tho day wore on the impression spread among tho delegates that tho convention wonld nominate either Duuforth or Towno, nud that (ho clement which felt that a Democrat should ho named wore moro strongly inclined toward Danforth. WILL REACH 5,000,000 TONS. Gratifying Incrcaso In American (Shipping?How It Was Acquired. Washington, July 51?Tho treasury bureau of navigation states that during the fiscal year l!i03 the total tonnage officially added to the marine amounted to 417,0:t 1 gross tons. About 38,030 tons of Hawaiian vessels and less than 1,000 tons of Porto Ricau shipping were admitted to American registry. It is estimated that complete figures will show that the actual additions to the merchant fleet during 1300 have been greater than any since 18o0. The vessels built in tho United States and officially numbered during tlio year aggregate 88,803 gross tons, a record surpassed in 1874 wh? n 532,723 gross Ions were built (fiul doc umeiitod. Of the new vcs-als ."S per cont nro steam vessels. The most important additions of tire ye cr h >vo been the largo steel vessels l u It ior the great lakes. The only vessel built ex lusively for tho foreign trade has boon the Marnoiibo of 1,771 gross t ons for the Venezuela traffic, while threo steamships of an aggregate tonnage ot over 8,003 tons for the Porto Kican trade are tho first maritime results of the annexation of that island. Full returns probably will show (hat the total d leutnonted tonnage of tho United States on Juno UO, IsKKl, for tho first tiino since l*Wi, has 10 iched 3,000,000 gross tons. Tho tonnage regis to roil for foreign trnd-? will probably Ik; slightly below K 13,00 ) gross tons, tho figures for Juno 00, 1309. Tho increase of tho Alaskan trade, carried on by registered v s els. w is checked somewhat during tho year through tho decline of American tonnage registered for foreign trado. MRS. EMMA A.
