"I will not E3y that I won't come, and It
I should coy that I would como. It would
place me in tho attitude of seeking an in

National Convention, and it Is believed
that tody will Invite Mr. Bryan by resolu

Lincoln. Nebs, June I?. Congressman
Eulzer Is expected to-morrow noon. Mr,
Bryan refused to confirm the report that
Richard Croker and. rormer Senator Mur

"I don't know a thing about that except
what la la tho newspapers," ha said.
Mr, Bryan still maintains to doesn't know
what his prcsramaio vrtll bo after tho Na
tional Convention. For the time being, his
interest locally Is centered in the Fusion
Cocvontlon of this county, which nomi
nated candidates for the Legislature.
Mr. Bryan to-day sat for the last photo
graph he will have takn this year. The
demand for portraits of himself and family
in tho last week has been enormous.

and on the streets of Kansas City. Kansas
City does not wait for ccy one to launch
booms. Bho launches them, herself and
Weeps pushinr them along.
I Yesterday the first real indication of a
National Convention. The Republic's ban
ker, announcing its headquarters at Bruns
wick Hotel, was thrown to the breeze. Tho
Leople only needed a starter, and The Ro
publlo banner supplied it. Convention talk
hnd preparation at once became general,
nd to-night Kansas City has the real fe
ver. Decorations are being placed la to-s-hUon
on every hand. The American flag
Is predominant. Pictures of Bryan can b3
seen on all sides. Business houses took
thsjesd In decorating, and prlVaie resi
dences were "quick to follow suit. At the
hotels the carpets are being covered with
canvas, and.drayloads of cots and bedding
are being carried In.
Travel to Kansas City is Increasing ev
ery hour. Advance representatives of dele
gations, advance agents of candidate;, vis
itors anxious to be early on the ground
are arriving on svery train. Bureaus of In
formation, of which Iters are several, had
their first real taste of work to-day. 80
thoroughly has this branch been organ
ised that strangers have no difilculty in
finding Just what they want.
Rooms have been listed In sufficient num
bers to care for a tremendous crowd If nec
essary. Kansas City Is on her mettlo so
far as taking caro of visitors is concerned
and Intends that there shall bo no complaint
oa this score.
Convention Tlall "Work.
Over at the Convention Hall every effort
Is being mad to complete the building by
Wednesday morning. The men in charge
renew their promises that the convention
will cat be delayed a minute by reason of
Incomplete arrangements. To-night there is
much more to do, but wherever a man can
work ho Is employed, bo that the prediction
of the committee will, no doubt, be veri
fied. The hall had 0. severe test last evening
t'nd lbs result Is very satisfactory. Kansas
City was visited by a strong windstorm last
night, but the Convention Hall was unin
jured. It Is cot yst complete, because some of
the steal for the structure has not arrived,
but even In Its present condition It with
stood the storm, and the members of the
committee in charge say there is not the
least fear cf accidents.
Interest In the Platform.
There Is the faintest intimation that there
may be a contest over the convention plat
form. It is known that Mr. Bryan wants
cot only tho Chicago platform reafflrmed,
but also tho 15 to 1 declaration reiterated as
stror.rly as It was in the Nebraska, State
platform.
Thero are other Democrats who think
to maka a strong reaffirmation of the Chi
cago platform In a few words and then
to pass on to imperialism, trusts and other
new features will be sufilclent. The latter
course Is advised as ono tending to satisfy
Eatsem Democrats.

There Is some little talk about Chatles A.
Towne of Minnesota, who was nominated b
the Populists with Bryan. Mr. Towno ha
headquarters engaged, and the Silver It
publicans will hold a convention simulta
neously with the Democratic gathering.
They and the Populists intend to impress
upon the delegates the ability of Mr. Towne
as a vote-getter and urge his nomination.
Hlll'a Plan to Visit Urjan.
Senator Hill's plan to vlslst Bryan at Lin
coln was given out in Kansas City this
morning by E. E. Crandall, a California
delegate. Mr. Crandall, who Is at the Coates
House, has Just come from Philadelphia,
where he looked on at the Republican Na
tional Convention. Mr. Crandall says ho
learned a week ago of Senator Hill's plan
to visit Bryan. His information was ob
tained from letters and telegrams written
by Mr. Hill to a mutual friend. Mr. Cran
dall declined to give the name of this per
son. "I cannot say now," said Mr. Crandall,
"that the plana have not been changed.
Brian's recent assertion about the neceslty
cf a vice presidential candidate whose
views coincide exactly with his may cause
Hill to change his plans. I cannot cay
about that."
Other arrivals from Lincoln say that Mr.
Hill Is not expected there. Owing to his
announced plans, it la not believed that the
former Senator was planning to advance
himself.
For Temporary Chairman.
The temporary chairman of tho conven
tion has not yet been selected, and will
not bo announced until tho National Com
mittee meets here next Monday. The sub
committee of the National Commute will
meet here on Saturday, and is expected
to take up the question of the temporary
organization or the convention with a view
to making soma recommendations to the
National Committee. The contest for the
honor of being temporary chairman of the
convention seems to be exclusively between
D. A. Rose, Mayor of Milwaukee, and C
K. Thomas, Governor of Colorado.
Plans have been made to bring Mr. Bryan
to Kansas City by special train. Until his
announcement to-night that he would not
attend, it was purposed for the conven
tion to eend for Mr. Bryan to come here on
July 5. A special train of on engine, bag
gage car and Pullman, or possibly a pri
vato car. would have been ready to bring
him quickly. A great ovation to the leader
was expected.
MAAY JIBS FOR SECOND PLACE.
BV WILLIS J. ABBOTT.
REPUTJUO SPECIAL.
Kansas City, Mo.. June IS. Kansas City is
full of rumors, but almo.it barren of prom
inent Democrats. Mayor Tom Taggart of
Indianapolis passed through yesterday and
contributed to the political goslp the ono
important piece of news, namely, that he
would not bo a candidate for chairman of
the Democratic National Committee.
This azures the re-election of Senator
Jones, about which, as a matter of fact,
there was little or no doubt before. It is
the almost universal opinion that the work
done by Senator Jones in the 1S9S campaign
under most difficult circumstances makes his
re-election at once a matter of Justice and
of wisdom.
The vice presidential problem Is as far
from settlement as ever. Sulzer at -v.-
J York opened headquarters hero to-day, ami
i to picseui in person to-morrow. His
boomers are active, persistent and aggres
sive. Charles A. Towne will arrive to-morrow
morning with the prestige of Indorsement
by Michigan. Minnesota and South Dakota
to help him, and the loid of a Populist nom
ination to handicap him. .
To-night Towne Is the strongest figure In
tha field, but powerful forces are behind B.
F. Sbievcley of Indiana, who was a candi
date for Governor In 1SS6, and has been a
consistent Chlcago-platfrom man at all
times.
W. P. Kllbourne of Ohio, too, is a figure
to be reckoned with. He was the chief
contestant with John R. McLean for the
gubernatorial nomination, and It wan of
him that "Golden Rule" Jones said: "If
Kllbourne Is nominated, I will support
him." Kllbourne was not nominated Jones
ran. Tho Democratic nominee was beaten,
but tho Jones vote plus the McLean vote
would have carried tha State. That Is why
there Is talk of nominating Kllbourne for
Vice President.
To-morrow the leaders of the party win
begin to arrive. Senator Jonee, George
Fred Williams, Governor W. J. Stone, Joe
Blackburn and others are expected.
The Hill vice presidential boom Is roar
ing in newspapers, but nowhere else. Among
discreet and well-informed politicians It is
not thought that the former Governor is
a party to It.
OTEV IS FOR HILL.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Atlanta, Ga., June "3. Congressman P. J.
Otey of Virginia Is In Atlanta. viMUng his
daughter. Mrs. W. N. Mitchell.
Major Otey Is en route to the Democratic
National Convention at Kansas City. He
thinks David B. Hill would prove, perhaps,
the strongest running mate for Br) an, and
bellees Mr. Hill will be nominated for Vice
President If he will accept it.
MOODY LIKES HILL.
JtCrUBTJC SI'KCIAL.
Galveston, Tex., June 23. Colonel W. L.
Moody, delegate from this Congressional
District, will start for Kansas City Sunday.
Colonel Moody has no preference for Vice
President, but has a predilection for Hill
of New York. When asked to-day it he
favored putting David B. Hill on the ticket.
Colonel Moody said!
"Hill is a strong, able man, and If ho
could, without stultification, be nominated
upon tho platform that will be adopted. I
think he would bo a good man to nominate.
But what we want Is harmony, and what
we are striving for is principles, and not
men."
Asked if ho favored making imperialism
and trusts tho leading Issues over free
silver. Colonel Moody declined to answer,
saying that he would discuss that question
when he returned.

Croker. Tammany's chief, will depart at

Mr. Bryan at Lincoln, the Tammany leader
said, with a twinkle In hl3 eye:
"Some of the newspapers say I am going,

"Has Tammany Hall a. candidate for Vice

Car Company Holds Consulta

UNIONS WILL DECIDE POINT.
Big Contracts With Street Kailroad
Company Urged, as Iteason
Why It Should Not P.p
Bovcotted.
President George J. Kobusch of the St.
Louis Car Company yesterday made a re
quest of his employes that they ride upon
the St. Louis Transit Company cr.rs. He
called representatives of the Car Builders'
Union and Finishers' Union into" consulta
tion, and Informally requested them to in
form their respective organizations of his
desire, and if possible to have the flues Im
posed for riding on transit cars withdrawn.
Ho told them that they could make their
answer Monday.
The representatives said that the power
of having the fines abolished did not be
long to them. They promised to lay tho
matter before tho unions that had authority
to act and give their answer to the presi
dent. Mr. Kobusch. In placing thi- situation
beforo the representatives of the unions,
said that the transit company is one of
tho largest patrons of the car company,
and that it Is only natural that it should
desire the patronage, not only of the officials
of tho car works, but also of Its cmploes,
who rccehed in wages money which It paid
into the firm for cars.
Of the present order for cars, amounting
to $700,000, which the transit company has
with the St. Louis Car Company, Mr. Ko
busch said 40 per cent goes in wages to tho
car builders and other employes of tho car
company. The works employ between 1,400
and l.& men. At the present time the cur
company Is ready to deliver loO of the 200
cars ordered by the transit company. The
power for running the entire plant is fur
nished by the transit company.
"Wo arc doing a great deal of work for
tho transit company," said Mr. Kobusch
yesterday, "and the company has been
treating us fairly at alt time?. We hao a
contract with that company involving up
ward of JT00.000. The request that we made
of our working people here was made in
view of the fact that the transit company
was a customer of ours, for whom we do a
great deal of work and hope o d) more in
the future. Wo thought that the transit
company was In a position to Jcsyrvo trc
ognltlon at our hands, not only recogni
tion from our officers, but employes of tho
St. Louis Car Company at well, particularly
at with every dollir's worth of business
from the transit company 41 ner cent is dis
tributed among the emploes. I feel that If
the transit company's money Is good enough
for them to earn here, not directly but in
directly, the transit company cars are good
enough for them to rlda 0.1, whether there
be n boycott or no boycott.
"The request was not a compulsory one.
Wo simply asked them. to ride In he cars,
for If they had tho interests of the St. Louis
Car Company at heart the cumpaiiy thought
it not only fair but Just Jta the employes
should patronize the car of tha transit
company, whose money they are earning
and taking home on Saturday nlshts."
In regard to the closing down of the shop,
Mr. Kobusch rays that It may close, and
certainly will. If the transit company with
draws its power. However, he could r.ot
say whether the works would close or not.
The general feeling among tho men Is that
the request will bo refused. Not quite half
of the car company men .are union men, tut
none of them rldo to work on tho transit
car3' .

113 of the Suburban line, which was loaded
to the guards with W plcasuresc-ekers, bound
for the summer garden, at Hamilton ave
nue and the Suburban tracks, at 8:30
o'clock last night.
Tho collision made a noise that was
heard for several blocks, and the Suburban
car wad lifted up and thrown half way
around. Six persons was hurt, none of
them rerlously.
Patrick J. Lax in, conductor cf the Sub
urban car; Thomas B. Cortenlng of No. 773
North Walton avenue; W. H. Latzin of No.
$12 South Eighth street; Mrs. Oscar Horn
steln of No. 1S13 Boardman street, John P.
Stlnson. motorman of the Suburban car and
Georgle Armstrong, a negro of No. 371S
Morgan street, were the Injured. They
sustained only cuts and bruises of a minor
nature.
Since tho Page avenue cars, a few days
ago, began to run to the Dclmar Gardens
via Hamilton avenue, the crossing at the
Suburban tracks has been regarded as a
dangerous one. The crowded Suburban cars
run very close together, and having the
fight of way, generally pass this point at
a high rate of greed. Accordingly A. B.
Judy, an extra motorman on the Page ave
nue system, was stationed yesterday at this
point as watchman.
Judy throws the blame for tha collision
on tho Page avenue car. He says that it
was going south and that the Suburban car
was coming west. Since the latter had the
right of way he motioned It to como on
and signaled tha other car to stop. For
some reason, he asserts, the motorman of
tho Pago avenue car did not heed his sig
nal. The transit car struck the Suburban car
on a line with tho rear trucks. It tore the
side-boarding and part of the back pint
form oft and whirled the heavy car body
half way round, but did cot Itself leave the
track.
Fred Waller and C. A. Ferguson were
motorman and conductor, respectively, of
tho Page avenue car and John P. Stinson
and Patrick J. Lavin. motorman and con
ductor, respectively, of the Suburban car.
It is considered miraculous that Lavin
escaped with his life. When the collision
occurred he was standtng on the rear plat
form. The shock threw him from his feet
and he fell directly in front of the still
moving Page avenue car.
Luckily, he was picked up by the fender,
and when it was all over he was found
wedged securely in between the two cars,
but not seriously injured. He was taken
to tho home of J. H. Johnson at No. K34
North Hamilton avenue, where Doctor
Nicks of No. 333 North Goodfsllow ave
nue treated his Injuries, which were main
ly bruises and slight cuts. He was able
to walk home.
Thomas B. Cortenlng was standing in the
rear doorway of the Suburban car talking
to his wife, who was seated. The Jolt of
the collision threw him backward, and, with
the platform, which the Page avenue car
ripped off, he fell to the ground. His In
juries were found to consist only of scalp
wounds and bruises about the right side.
Georgle Armstrong was also standing In
the rear end of the Suburban car. Her in
juries were principally the result of the fall
sbo sustained. She was cut about the head
and slightly bruised: Both she and Corten
lng were taken to the home of Doctor E.
M. Nelson, at Hamilton and Maple avenues,
where their injuries were nttended to.
Mrs. Hornsteln was a passenger on the
Suburban cir and was thrown with great
force against the woodwotk, sustaining a
cut on one ear and an injury to on foot.
Stinson. the Suburban motorman, received
a number of bruises.
Immediately after the accident Sergeant
of Tolice David Powers and Joseph Rice, a
speci-il officer In the Mounted DUtrlct, who
happened to be passing on an eastbound
Suburban car, busied themselves In at
tending to the Injured.

SPECIAL BY CAIILD.
SIitiDKlial, Thursday, June 2S. (Copy
right, 11MJO, by tho New YorU Herald
Company.) Admiral Seymour has ar
rived at Tieu-Tsln. Sixty-two of his
men have been killed and 312 wounded.
The dninnge in Tien-Tsin, It Is hoped,
has been exaggerated, but nothing is
certainly known.
After effecting the relief of Seymour, a
large column of the allies la supposed to
have started for 1'ekiu.
I-trge bodies of Chinese troops are re
ported massed before I'ekin.
Absolutely no trustworthy informa
tion has come out of Pekiu for two
weeks, all the wires being broken,
The whereabouts of the legations Is
unknown.
It is the belief of Chinese that Prince
Tuan has superseded the Empress
Dowager at the head of affairs. Priuce
Tuan is the recognized head of the
Boxers.
Grave tidings come from Shan-Tung
Province. The Wei-IIsieu mission
premises hate been destroyed, but the
missionaries escaped. This is thought
premonitory of Turthpr disturbances:
Thus far the Boxers have been operat
ing only In Chl-I.l and Shan-Tung
provinces.
Sixteen thousand troops of tho allies
have already landed at Taku. This
number should be quadrupled.
The best interests of China demand
the suppression of the Boxers, the over
throw of the Empress Dowager and the
reactionary party, and the reinstatement
in power of the Emperor. If the Boxers
gain any substantial advantage, the con
eetjuences cannot be foreseen. Thj in
surrection wiil spread like wildfire.
The Wu-Chang and Xankln Viceroys
give assurances that they are able to
quell the disturbances, and have issued
proclamations. Nevertheless, the condi
tions In the Yang-Tse Valley are the rea
ton for serious apprehension.
Shanghai, under ordinary circum
stances, is safe. Volunteers and men-or-war
