If Xew Style Is Adopted the Pres ent Colors Will Be Worn Only on Special Oc casions. The K?public Bureau. Hth St. an J Pennsylvania Ae. Washington, July 9. The Armr Uniform .Board, which hsabeen in jwslon in thlm r " 2fv tfr vCi-ar-ftl TniTifWrf trAn -Titl. lfn4 I General Hughes la president. nas submitted Its report to the Secretary of "Wax. The board recommends some very radical and far-reaching changes In the uniforms of both officers and men of the army. No lonser ran the American army bs termed the boys In blue." In the future they must be called "the men In green." for the famous and characteristic blue field uniforms. If the recommendations of the board are adopted, will be done away Tilth, except for occasions of semldress. For a field uniform the board has designed a suit of a khaki green color not by any means presenting a beautiful appearance, but con sidered by army otlicers as moat serviceable. In the summer and for hot climates this uniform villi be of light weight and In the winter and cold climate of heavy material. The long blue overcoat worn for so many years by both officers and men will be cast aside with the blue suits Into the remnant rile, and a long overcoat of the same brownish-green color will be substituted. In the expert opinion of the officers who constituted the uniform board, the new color adopted will be most difficult for any enemy to fee on the Held of battle. Its wearing qualities, are also superior to the blue uniforms which have so long charac terized the American army. Many changes are also recommended by the board for full dress uniforms. The helmet will be abandoned and a cap of the same shape as worn by Lieutenant Gen eral Miles will be adopted. This cap Is modeled after the cap worn by the Italian army. The shoulder knots are to be great ly reduced in Eire and made more orna mental. The sword carried by officers will In the future be a weapon in every sense of the word, instead of a toy affair, such as Is now used.

Selection of Burgess, Fox and Valliant Will Attract Their Hearty Support Ticket Regarded as a Very Strong One Closing Scenes of the Convention. THREE CANDIDATES ARE CONF BY A STAFF CORRESPONDENT. Springfield. July 9. After ten hours of con tinuous work the Democratic Convention adjourned this morning at 7 o'clock, after having nominated for Supreme Court three candidates Judge Gavon D. Burgess of Lln neus and Leroy P. Valllant of St. Louis, sow sitting on the Court, and Judge James D. Fox of Fredericktown, x member cf the Circuit Court. Last night's session ot the convention was without special incident. The Ionic v it'll was occupied with nominating speeches and the balloting, which was rather tedious, owing to the fact that the counties and wards were called separately. On the Dial ballot they had the privilege of scat tering three times their votes atnuug as many candidates as they chose to huuor. On the second noinluu- j tlon, which required five ballots, each delegate had the privilege of casting !J votes. With 114 counties and twenty-eight city wards to hear from, must of the time between midnight and o'clock ai occu pied with the calls of the reading clerk.

He started out without the aid of the so-called administration forces, but gathered votes when the weakr men began to lose strength. During his visit to Springfield Judge Fox has made a host of friends by his kindly manner and cheerful countenance. The vote of St. Louis went to him because the leaders saw that they would not only be landing a nomina tion, but they would also be helping one of the most popular men before the delegates. The reciprocity of the Fox forces was a natural consequence, which finally resulted In the nomination of Judge Valllant. Though Judge Valllant was plcKcd as a probable winner, his strength was so scat tered outside of St. Louis that he had no trading strength. St. Louis was flghtlns for Sherwocd, and had few votes to spare. The remaining vote on the first ballot, wnen three votes were permitted, was scattered where it would do the most good.
