"Rut. after seeing your pretty little girl. I

S. B. Cook, writing to the Intelligencer of
this city, under date of July 3, says In ref
erence to W. H. Phelps's standing In Jas

"In your Tuesday's issue you fall into the
(common newspaper error of crediting W. H.

trJcts. with a total of twenty delegates In
ithe Democratic State Convention. The East

.and the other two, Joplln and Webb City,

"In the conventions which were held
Monday. Phelps controlled the Carthage

are uncompromisingly opposed to Phelps

to control only six delegates from the Car

"The Democrats of the Fifteenth Con

To-night the Metropolitan Hotel is

of the State. They have been arriving on

been turned over to the Bureau of Infor

this city will have about ,( more popu

losing no time In creatlrg sentiment favor
able to their candidates.
Three A'onilnatlns Methods.
The politicians have been quirk to see
that much depends upon the form In which
nominations are made. Three methods are
proposed. The so-called blanket method,
by which the delegates will vcte for threa
candidates at once: the three receiving the
highest majority being declared the nom
inees; nominations singly, whereby on each
roll call each delegate will have but one
vote, and a modification of the two meth
ods, whereby the delegates wai vote for
three candidates at a time, but making
enly one nomination.
Xo candidate to-day professed to be In
favor of the blanket method. Nne of them
thinks that he has a majority of the dele
gates, and. falling a combination with
other candidates, he can see no advantage
In making the three nominatJrns at once.
Most of the candidates say that they are
In favor of making the nominations one at
a time- The only objection which has Jwen
raised to this Is that some of the counties
have given Instructions frr three men. This
would necessitate a fract'onal voting which
would be unusual. Whether the combina
tion scheme will develop Into a compro
mise remains to be seen. It Is urged that
the combination method will enable the
counties which have been Instructed for
three candidates to cast full votes without
discrimination.
Some of the candidates announce that
while they are oppesid to the blanket
method generally they would not refuse its
advantages If they were sure of the neces
sary number of votes to nominate by use of
it. Others are opposed to It In any event,
among them being Judge Hughes, Judge
Silver. Judge Waller and Judge Alexander
Graves.
Speculation as to Outcome.
It Is Impossible to give an estimate of
probable strength. Much depends upon who
Is the prophet- Some think ail three- of the
present Justices will be renominated. Others !

DEPARTED FOR SPRINGFIELD.
Southeast Missouri Delegates Pas
Through St. Louis.
Delegates from Southeast Missouri to the
Democratic Judicial Conentlon to be held
at Springfield, beginning to-morrow, passed
through SL Lrfmis yesterday on their way
to the convention. Most of them went on
the afternoon train, while a few remained
oer until eenlm. dlscuslng the prospects
of their various candidates.
j Stoddard I'ounty. represented by about
twenty delegates, announced Itself as be
ing sclld for Circuit Judge James D. Fox
of Frederlcktown s one candidate for
Judge of the Supreme Court. So did the
delegation from St. Francois County. Stod
dard County Is the stronghold of Judge J.
L. Fort of De,xtee. Wh0 withdrew from the
race In faor of Judge Fox. The delegates
from Scotland ar.d Putnam counties were
uninstructed. and they stated their Inten
tion of "sizing up the situation" and stand
ing by the etrongen candidates.
Blpiey County ssnt lt three delegates
! with instructions for Fox; In fact, the lat
ter was paid the high honor of being al
lowed to make up the list comprising the
delegation.
The Southeastemers consider Judge Fox
one of the ablest Jurists In thn State. He
; has occupied a place on the Circuit bench
for a quarter of a century, in wnlcn time
very few of his leclsitns have been re
versed. Chairman Selbert of the State Committee,
who will open the convention, departed for
Springfield on thj afternoon train, accom
panied b Colonel Martin L. Clatdy.
The dcl'gates who departed cterdar
were divided in their opinion as to how long
the convention will last. It all depends,
they say, on the method of making nomi
nations. If It is decided to nominate the
three candidates receiving the larrest num
ber of votes oa the first call, the seslnn
will not extend over two days, but If each
j candidate Is voted for separately It will re-
quire an extra day to finish up the buI
ners.

July 10. to take action on the proposition
to annex the Creek Xatlon to Oklahoma.
The Creek Council will be asked to avail

tribes shall signify their desire they may
by proclamation of the President be at

This law Is known as the organic act for

He Went on I.oaid.

L'erliu, July C (Copyright. VrC V' J
Pierpont Morgan ar.d the Kaiser tlna.iy
catne face to face on Thun-dny last.
The one man feared beyond all otlirrs by
the German exporting and commercial in
terests cordially received his Majesty en
board his steam yacht the Corsair at Vt.rX.
The Kaier did not trust himself alone n
lard Ihe Cotalr, but had Herr Ballln. the
director general of the Hamburg-American
Line, by his side to coach him.
Putting question? to Mr. Morgan, the
Kaiser wanted to know all about Mr. Mor
gan's plans and what further conquests he
i-ontemplatej for making the American
mvrchant marine Invincible on the high
teas, but eyewitnesses say that the Kaiser
did not leave the Corsair, after a full
hour's "confab." with quite as smiling a
countenance as he had when he stepp J on
board and shook the promoter of the great
Transatlantic Steamship Trust by the
hand.
The Kaiser frequently has expressed his
desire la private conversation to meet and
"size up" the man whoe achievements on
the other side provoke visions of the
"American commercial Invas-lon."
He communicated this desire to the
director general of the Hamburg-American
Line, who recently was decorated for hav
ing succeeded In keeplrg the G-rman
steamship lines out of the clutches of the
Amer.can shipping trust.
yot Oterruigrr to Meet Knisrr.
vlt was believed that Mr. Morgan would
visit Berlin shortly after the n-go:intIons
were concluded In Indon. but Mr. Morgan
did not show himself very eager to accept
the Invitation for an audience with the
Kaiser.
Mr. Morgan received the Invitation to
pay his Majesty a caU on board the Im
perial yacht, the HohenzoIIern, Thursday
mornlng. The previous evening the Kaiser
had Invited the other leading Americans at
tending the Kiel regatta. Including Mr.
Clement A. Grisccn. Mr. 1. A. B. WIdener.
Rear Admiral C. L. F. Robinson ar.d Mr.
Allison V. Armour, but the reports did not
indicate that Mr. Morgan was Invited.
As &oon as the Kaiser had the opportuni
ty, the signal was communicated from the
HohenzoIIern to the Corsair that hlx Majes
ty would repay Mr. Morgan's vL-lt of Thurs
day morning. -1 ."
At any rate, the Kaiser had this oppor
tunity to take the measure of the man
who is giving hi people most Impressions
from the commercial standpoints.
It Is unncce-viry to recall what the
KuLer sold about American trusts and
"men like Morgan," while talking to a well
known French authority last fall. In that
Interview, the Kalaer d scribed the huge
American trusts as the greatest peril con
fronting combined Eurie, against which
the uniud nations had no alternative but to
form a defensive union.
J.ATIH1C.M. KIHTOIIIAL.
Vienna. July C The Xeue Frele Prcsse
has published a satirical editorial on the
fat that J. I'icrpost Morgan took luncheon
with Emperor William on board the im
p trial yacht Holu-nzollern at Kiel July 2.
The paper remarks.
"Without his cheekliook. Mr. Morgan
would never have been the Emperoi3
guest."
The article harp throughout upon the
prolmbllltles of misfortune overtaking the
"Napoleon of finance." and says that,
guided by the Imagination, his trusts appear
to be excellent, but that the first moment
public confidence Is disturbed the system
will undergo a severe trial.
The Xeue Frcle Prcsse concludes by say
ing: "Could a thought reader have penetrated
the secret recesses of the minds of Em
peror William and his guest, what startllrg
contrasts might he not have discovered.
In Emperor William's mind, perhaps, a
yearning for fame and splendor; In that of
Mr. Morgan the hope of new trusts and
rising rn-es. How fortunate It Is that so
cial politeness veils such opposltes."

London. July 6. King Edward's progress
to-night continues favorable. It Is said that
if Ids improvement proceeds at the present
rate he probably will be well enough by

that King Edward wis out of danger, with
Informal thanksgiving services.
The Government has Issued order that the
Indian and colonial trcops now In London
shall postpone their departure Indefinitely.
These orders are due to the strongly ex
