WHO’LL RUN WITH BRYAN. Continued from First Page. the gold Democrats had once voted lor a i;d would probably vote for again. It was also said that Massachusetts would vote for George Fred Williams on the early ballot, and that there was a prospect of a general “favorite son” movement until the convention would set tle upon someone acceptable to a major ity. Mr. Croker told the tfyrce-party confer ence that he had a candidate and that he would bring him out during' the day. It was soon known that he referred to Lewis Nixson of New York, who was at one time R constructor in the navy and is now largely interested in ship building. It was supposed that Nixon would be pre sented during the meeting of the New York delegation, and the Keller indorse ment was a .complete surprise. It is be lieved Keller is not meant to be pressed. 'l'awne'M Friends I amoved. The conference of the representative® of the Democrats, Populists and Silver Re publicans, held in the middle of the day, while not advancing tiie prospects of any candidate, was not encouraging to the friends of Towne, who felt after it was over that they hud a hard proposition to fact. Another feature of the day was a dele gation canvass made by friends of Towne. Thte was undertaken for the purpose of making a show; of strength. The canvass ers found earnest supporters in some of me delegations, and obtained assurances of votes, but no* in any such number us to give them very much encouragement. At the same time. Towne intends to remain In the field and his friend® say that, as each and every boom collapses, it will be demonstrated that he is the logical candi date. and the man who should be selected. The day’s developments, instead of mak ing the situation clearer, simply resulted in tangling it up more than ever before, leaving the selection of the Vice President not to the leaders and managers, but to the convention. A district development of the day was the springing of the name of ex-Yice President Adlai K. Stevenson, upon whom all could unite. Ben Cable of Illinois, was one of the first to suggest Mr. Stevenson, and he found that the suggestion met with a great deal of favor among members of ♦he Illinois delegation, and also with oth ers. He consulted Clark Howell of. Geor gia, and was told that if Stevenson was presented and would accept, Georgia would give him a solid delegation. Henry D. Clayton spoke for Alabama in much the same way, and as the suggestion w is* passed around, it met with such general approval that many delegates believed that Stevenson would not only accept the nomination, but that there was a possi bility of his being selected. \eu York, The New York state delegation furnished the sensation of the day, when, after a stormy session of three hours, they put forth a candidate for Vice President in the person of John W. Keller, commission er of charities of the city of New' York. This was clone ofter D.tvid R. Hill had been defeated as u candidate for the New York representative on the Committee on Platform by Augustus Van-Wyck, and. having been offered New York’s indorse ment for Vice President, had declined it. There are those who to-night believe ♦ hat the delegation leaders ore playing ♦he same game that was played by the Republican delegates at Philadelphia when they indorsed T. L. Woodruff for Vice President, and that the name of Kellar is presented for the purpose of keeping the delegate® from voting for any other New York man until they dan vote either for Towne or for Sulzer. Mr. Sulzer with drew in favor of Mr. Keller, and, in fact, seconded the nomination, which leads some color to this surmise. It was 2 o’clock this afternon when ex- Senator Hill was notified by Frank Camp bell that there was a movement on foot In the Tammany delegation, assisted by Kings county and Erie. to sidetrack h’m by not putting him on the Platform. Com mittee, but by standing for him for Vice President. Shortly afterward Mr. Hill was sen-t for ond had a long conference w ltli Mr. Croker. Mr. Shea, ex-Sena tor Murphy and Mr. McCarren. He was no tified that the delegation stood ready to stand for him for Vice President. He re plied that he did not want it, and was then told flatly that he could not soon theOom mittee on Platform, Mr. Croker intimating that the Bryan element did not want him there. Senator Hill argued in vain against these decisions, and finally the conference de cided on the course afterward affirmed by the delegation, but not until there had been a bitter fight, resulting in Hill’s de feat, at' which he lefi the delegation meeting. Senator Edward Murphy presided, and when nominations were called for, Judge Lynn. of Rochester, arose and nominated ok New York’s representative on the Plat form Committee, Augustus Van Wyck of King's county. He spoke briefly of Mr. Van Wyck's standing in the party, and his ability. Mayor Maguire of Syracuse moved to substitute the nome of David R. Hill, and then the contest was on. Mr. Ma guire said that Mr. Hill had been always < onsislent. that his fight lor any princi ple had always been in the oj>en. and th. t he had always taken a defeat loyally. 1; had generally been understood that Sena tor Hill wan to be the < < mmitteeman, and he, for one, had not heard a complaint from anybody against him. Some sharp discussion followed. A-l through the controversy the ex-governor sat quietly. Then he arose slowly and* facing Richard Croker. who sat in the rear of the room, said slowly and dis tinctly: “There have been said some things that have seemed to be reflections upon my at titude in 1896. It should be remembered In passing such criticisms that I have always been consistently Democratic. No man has a right to question my demo cracy.’’ At this time Mr. Croker rose, saying in what was evidently intended to be a pacific tone: “I don’t think anybody intended to crit ic is* your Democracy, but it is believed that as you were so strongly against the Oliver plank anew mf>n would be more acceptable.’’ and then Mr. O'Connor arous ed Mr. Hill by adding: “And there is no reason why you should think that the position Is reserved for you every year.” “No, I have no such Idea.’’ answered Mr. Hfll, shaking his finger at Mr. Croker. “but I want you to remember that what I did and what I said in the committee and in the convention of 1896 was done for the Democrats of Now Yoik state, and when I went home I stood for the ticket bs well as you did.’’ “Oh, no, you didn’t.’’ exclaimed Mr. Croker. “You were not heard of much during that campaign.” “Equally as much a* you arc when nt critical times in the party's history in the state you me living in Europe," re torted Hill. “You ate sore.” replied Mr. Croker. “1 accuse you,” exclaimed Mr. Hill, “of trying to make me a vice presidential candidate against my will 1 tell you now that I will not have it. you ran t humiliate me on one proposition and feed me a sop on another.” He sat down and a vote was then taken, rrsuiting: For Van Wyck, 40; for Hill, 20. Absent or not voting l. Senator Hill, upon the announcement of the vote, immediately left the room. The delegation was then notified by Senator Murphy that they should scl* < i a vice presidential candidate, nnd without any ceremony, as if it had all been ar ranged beforehand. Mr. Shea of Brook* tyn named John W. Kcdlui. commissioner of charities of New York City, ond upon WillUkin Sulzer seconding the motion, It was unanimously carried. O bio. The Ohio delation open! two hour* to day In dehat* over the resolutions to e adopted in regard to the national plat form, the lin. between the advocate, of H' o r*\E! ank ? nd ,hos * favoring ,he elm- Pie reaffirmation of the Chicago platform being sharply divided. A contest took place over the election of a national committeeman, John R. Mc- Lean being finally chosen over ex-Con gtessman Tom L. Johnson. H. L. Chap man was placed in nomination as a mem ber of the Committee on Resolutions This started a lively debate. A delegate from Northeast Ohio asked Gov. Chapman to define his views on the proposed leading planks of the platform, and the latter complied In an impassioned speech, in which he declared that imperialism and tlusts, but especially imperialism, were lie a^“important issues before the peo “Governor, are you in favor of the ffee coinage of silver at the ratio of hi to 1, and the insertion of a piank to that effect m the platform?” asked a delegate. N\>. I am not." said Gov. Chapman, emphatically. Gen. A. J. Warner, amid cries of dissent ' rom several delegates, made an argu ment in favor ot a simple indorsement of the Chicago platform. “Don't you know that William Jenning* Bryan favors an explicit declaration in favor of free silver?” interrupted Tom L. Johnson. "Yes, I do." responded Gen. Warner. "Then you don’t agree with Mr. Bryan on that point?” "No, i do not.” said Gen. Warner. “I could not take the stump and argue for a plank of that kind." After considerable debate, a resolution was passed by an overwhelming vote, in structing Mr. Chapman to work for the simple Indorsement of the Chicago plat form. North Carolina. At a conference of the North Carolina delegation, to-night, it was decided unan imously to present to the convention Col. •I. S. Carr of Durham as a candidate for Vice President. In presenting the rea* sons for the delegation’s action, Josephus Daniels, editor of the Raleigh News and Observer, said: "The North Carolina delegation believes this convention ought to nominate a busi ness man for Vice President. As most of the delegations seem to be at sea on the vice presidential question, we have deter mined to present Col. Carr as a candidate. He was the found er of one of the greatest tobacco industries of the South and is well known in business- and political circles through out the country. He is a man of w'ealth and influence which he employs to a greot extent in benevolent and charitable work. He was an earnest supporter of Mr. Bryan in 1896, and is now. His name will bo presented to the convention by S. M. Gaitis of North Carolina." "What position does the North Carolina delegation take on the platform question?” Mr. Daniels was asked. "We are in favor of simply reaffirming the financial plank of the Chicago plat form. without a specific declaration," he replied. Mr. Daniels was re-elected as North Carolina’s member of the National Com mittee, the compliment of election being tendered to him unanimously. Missouri. One of the liveliest fights in the list of states took place this afternoon in the Missouri delegation, where a determined effort was made to depose William J. Slone from his position as national com mitteeman and also to keep him off the Committee on Resolutions. Mr. Stone won out on both propositions, although it was a hard fight and his mar gin was narrow. The chief point in the opposition to Mr. Stone was that he had expressed doubts as to the propriety of 16 to 1 being made the chief issue of the campaign. Stone was elected a member of the committee on resolutions by a vote of 56 to 18 and elected national commit teeman by the same vote. No action was taken on the vice presi dential matter, nor on the silver question, it being understood, however, at the close of the caucus that a majority of the delegates were for a reaffirmation of the Chicago platform. Wnt Virginia. The formal caucus of the West Virginia delegation wns held to-day. There waa no contest for national committee. John T. McGraw was chosen unanimously. Following the selection of members of the various convention committees, there was a general discussion regarding both the platform and the vice presidency. The tone of the speeches Indicated a de sire on the part of the delegation for a conservative platform. The members are willing simply to reaffirm the Chicago financial plank, but are opposed to a specific declaration for 16 to 1. "With a conservative platform, 1 ’ said one of the members of the delegation at the conclusion of the conference, “we can carry the state next November. In tact our success would be assured. But the adoption of a radical financial plank would make West Virginia debatable ground, with the chances, probably fa voring the Republicans. The delegation is inclined to favor the nomination of an Eastern man for vice president. Kentucky. The selection of Senator-elect J. C. S. Blackburn as a member of the Committee on Platform to-day, by the Kentucky del egation, is regarded as a distinct achieve ment by the radical silver element party. This is due, not so much to the fact that Senator Blackburn himself is radical on (he question, but because it is known that he Is one of Mr. Bryan’s closest political friends. While he does not favor the in sertion into the platform of a plank de claring in explicit terms for the free coin age of silver at 16 to 1. and, it mny be add ed, the Kentucky delegation is practically a unit on that position, it is understood it will not stand as an obstacle to the carrying into effect of Mr. Bryan’s wishes. Strong disposition exists 1n the delega tion to support some strong New York man for the vice presidency in the belief tnat thereby victory may be achieved. Frey Woodson, the present member of the National Committee, was compli mented by re-election without opposition. Arkansas. The Arkansas delegation to-day elected Senator James K. Jones member of the Committee on Resolutions. After the del egation had formally organized by elect ing Jefferson Davis chairman, the finan cial piank of the national platform was discussed at some length, the discussion showing an overwhelming sentiment for a specific declaration in favor of free coinage Senator Jones warmly favored this course, and at the conclusion of his address the delegation, by a practically unanimous vote, declared 1n favor of tiie Insertion of such a plonk in the platform. The question of the vice presidency was not discussed. Many of the members in formally. however, expressed preference for David B. Hill, and one or two favored Mayor Carter Harrison of Chicago. James P. Clark was elected national committee mo n. Alabama. The state of Alabama held Its caucus this afternoon, and after a lively fight over the candidate* for the committee on resolutions, elected John W. Tomlinson, who represents the Bryan following, which is anxious for a specific piank In ihe platform calling for 16 to 1. Frank S White stood for the element that fa vored a reaffirmation. The caucus was extended and the vote close, Mr. Tomlln on having ten votes to nine for Mr. White The delegation then passed a res olution, which was forwarded to Br. Rrvan, telling him that the delegation was in sympathy with him and his views. The delegation took no action on the vie© presidency. Kansas* The state of Kansas, in Its caucus <hts afternoon, declared strongly against the insertion of a plank calling for the coin age Of Sliver at the ratio of 16 to 1. and de claring that a reaffirmation of th- t’hlcagj platform was all that was called for. No L, lion was taken on the vice presidential matter, it being announced that the dele gation was in favor of any man who could be agreed upon by the state of New Aork. THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JULY 4, 1000. J. G. Johnson was re-elected a member of the National Committee. Michlga n. The Michigan delegation at the caucus for organization this evening adopted a resolution instructing Thomas K. Bark worth, member of the committee on res olutions. to present a request for the re affirmation of the Chicago platform with out reference to a specific ratio. The pre sentation of the resolution was opposed by but two members of the delegation. ♦ ieorgia. The Georgia delegation to-night re-elect ed Clark Howell as National Committee man, and selected L. F. Garrard for the Committee on Resolutions. The Georgia men are in favor of the reaffirmation of the Chicago platform and against a spe cific declaration for 16 to 1. The delega tion is for Stevenson for Vice President. MAJOR IT OPPOSE 1 TO 1. It Is Believed. Though. Thnt It Will Be Deelnred for. Kansas City. July 3.—Late to-night, af ter quite a careful canvass of the men se lected for the Committee on Resolutions, it was asserted that there was a majority against making a specific declaration for 16 to 1, that is counting those who felt that way when the delegates first began to arrive and the discussion began. It was also said that the majority, if such it was, would not press the matter, owing to op position of Senator Jones. Senator Jones, when he first arrived, thought a reaffirm ation of die Chicago platform was suffi cient. Notwithstanding the known views of Mr. Bryan, delegation after delegation h to day taken a position in favor of reaffirm ation of the Chicago platform and against a specific declaration, yet it does not seem probable that the convention will take any other course than to declare specifically lor 16 to 1. PROBABLY NOMINATED TO-DAY. ind the Programme In for Bryan to Go to KitnaaN City. Kansas City, July 3.—Unless plans per fected to-night are upset, Mr. Bryan will attend the Democratic National Conven tion after his nomination, if he is put in the field early enougji to render it practi cable lor him to do so. A formal invita tion has been extended to him, and he has said that he would accept. This fact was brought out in the after noon meeting of the National Democratic Committee, as was also the intention of the National Committee to have the nom ination for the presidency made to-mor row, if possible. The desire on the part of the members to accomplish this end was developed at the close of the session, and it was brought to the surface by an invitation to the committee from the citizens of Kan sas City to take a tallyho ride to-morrow evening. This invitation was extended by ex-Gov. Stone of Missouri. When it was presented Mr. Clayton took the floor in opposition to its acceptance, saying there was a weH-deflnea and very general wish that Mr. Bryan should be placed in nomination on the Fourth of July, mak ing a fitting Democratic celebration of the national anniversary. Senator Kenny spoke in the same strain and Senator Jones descended from the platform to add his voice in support of the proposition. All agreed that such a nomination would add spirit to the occa sion and give the ticket a send-off such a9 it would not otherwise receive. The mem bers of the committee generally supported the proposition, and as a consequence, the invitation of the Kansas City people was declined. The discussion developed some points of the programme of the committee. They will have a day and a night session. It is their purpose to have the usual committee appointed as promptly os possible after the convening of the convention, and then have them get together immediately, act as soon as they can, end, if possible, re port and have the convention act upon the reports before adjourning in the af ternoon. Failing to secure Motion in the afternoon, they hope to get the commit tee reports disposed of early in the even ing and still accomplish Mr. Bryan’s nom ination before the adjournment of the night session. The managers appreciate that there may be many obstacles in the way of carrying out this programme, but they are quite determined to find a way to do it, and they express confidence that the members of the comittee will all lend a helping hand to this end. The discussion also developed the fact that Mr. Bryan is expected to be present In the convention on Thursday, the day after his nomination, and indicate to the convention his acceptance of the honor conferred. An intimation of the commit tee’s purpose to secure action, to-morrow has been conveyed to the prospective can didate, and an invitation extended to him to visit the convention on Thursday, and It is stated upon excellent authority that he has indicated that he will accept. The members of the committee express themselves generally as of the opinion that the programme can be carried out, ar.d those who know of the invitation to Mr. Bryan do not hesftate to say that he will certainly accept. BRYAN WOt'LDBV’T SAl'. Whether He Intended Going: to the Convention. Lincoln, Neb., July 3.—lf William J. Bryan intends going to Kansas City to make a epeech to the delegates to the national convention, either before or af ter it concludes, he will not say so. Mr. Bryan was asked to-day what would be his answe fit, just before adjourning, the convention should . sk him to visit Kan sas City and address the crowds. He said he did not wish to discuss Ihe subject; that it would be manifestly Improper for him to anticipate. To-night, when noti fied ttut the National Committee had in vited him to Kansas City, and that it was reported he had accepted, Mr. Bryan re plied promptly and emphatically; "1 don’t know anything about it.” Later he said It was Inexplicable how such a report had started. “I certainly have re ceived ho invitation from the National Committee,” said he, "and I know I have not at 1 -opted one." Mr. Bryan added that he had talked with many gentlemen in Kansas City during the day and to-night over the long-distance telephone, and not one of them had men tioned the fact that he had been invited to speak to the convention. Nevertheless, It Is believed In Lincoln that Mr. Bryan will be prevailed upon to go. but It will be in the closing state of tiie convention and certainly not to-mor row. Mr. Bryan said he would not discuss the report that a number of Democratic editors had united in a request that he consent to a simple reaffirmation of Ihe Chicago platform. Mr. Bryan this evening gave out the fol lowing as a political sentiment for the Fourth of July: '‘The campaign of 1896 brought out the greatest discussion of an economic sub ject ihle had seen for a genera tion. ThP campaign of 1960 tvlll Involve not only economic question, but political questions reaching down lo Ihe fundamen tal principles of government. In 1896, we wen- discussing the wrongs of man. Tills year wo shn!l not only discuss the wrongs, out the rights of man.” CLARK FACTION WON. Ills (Ten il From Montana Won Oat In I lie Contest, Kansas City. Ay 3.—The National Com mittee to-day disposed of Ihe business be fore it with aladrity. The battle over the temporary chairmanship was short and sharp, nnd was decided in favor of Gov. Thomas of Colorado. The contests were first decided. The report of the sub-committee in the Montana case was unanimous in Clark’s favor and was adopted by the committee without d* lay. in the sub-committee, how ever, Chairman Williams stood out against Clark, but yielded gracefully to the re port putting the Clark men on the tem porary roll. This decision was based up on the belief on the part of the members that the State Convention which selected the Clark delegates contained a majority of the uncontested delegates. The Daly men announce their determination to make a vigorous light before the Committee on Credentials. The Oklahoma controversy was ret tied in favor of the Jacobs faction in opposi tion to the Sipes faction. The Jacobs people were considered the most “regular” by the committee. In the case of the Indian Territory the decision was favorable to the Marcum fac tion also on the ground of regularity. Mr. Marcum is the present member of the Na tional Committee, and the tight was prin cipally upon him. The only c andidates for temporary chair man were Gov. C. S. Thomas of Colorado and Mayor D. S. Rose of Milwaukee. Sen ator Kenny of Delaware and Committee man Clancy of Wisconsin spoke for Mr. Rose, and Committeeman Wilson of Colo rado and Clayton of Alabama for Mr. Thomas. The vote proceeded very evenly until towards the close, when Mr. Thomas made a slight gain, which he held to the end, coming out with a majority of two. The total vote was 46—Thomas, 24; Rose, At 11:30 o’clock the committee recessed until 4 p. m. At the afternoon session of the National Committee, a decision was reached to seal the Norris delegation from the Dis trict of Columbia. C. A. Walsh* was ap pointed temporary secretary, and he was authorized to r appoint all the assistants necessary, lie named W. A. DeFord ot Kansas, for first assistant secretary; J. K. Jones of Arkansas, as second assist ant. and A. M. McDonald of Utah, as third assistant. Charles H. Hampton of Michigan, was named as chief reading clerk, and J. H. Gllleapie of lowa, and Lee Ardmore of Colorado as assistants. Senators Kenny and Tillman and Messrs. Thompson, Wilson and Clayton were ap pointed a committee to meet the Silver Republicans and Populists. As the mo* ti-on leading to this action was first pre sented, it provided for a committee of con ference, hut it was e*o modified as to au thorize the committee to visit the other organizations, and extend to them the best wishes and the congratulations of the Democratic Committee. Resolutions of thanks to the officers of the committee were adopted, the resolution In Senator Jones’ honor, thanking him for the "impartial manner in which he has presided over the proceedings of th* committee, and for his energetic work." The comrrwrtee adjourned to meet nt 11 o’clock to-morrow, and to proceed to the convention hall in a body. MEMBERS OF COMMTTBE9. Those Named For Resolutions and the \utfonnl Uody.

Kansas City, July 3.—Senator Tillman of South Carolina was among the early arrivals to-day. He immediately an nounced himself for Towne for vice pres ident, but said th3t he did not consider it necessary to make specific declaration on the ratio when declaring for silver. "With Bryan at the head of the ticket,” he said, “we need no platform. Hts position is such that no man can ques tion II.” Shouted for Hill. Kansas City, July 3.-Ex-Senator Hill went to the Indiana headquarters to-day and made a speech to the delegation. Hl* remarks were general In terms, but advo cated conservative action as a means of Democratic success. He was loudly cheer ed by the delegates, and as he passed through Hie crowd when returning to hl rooms there were many shouts of "Hill," "Hill," interspersed with cheers. f IF all th babie who bav# J' t* I 4 I been helped into th* world \ / J by would v\ go together and eing a *ong of praiee for it,the choru* would echo L. | to the heavens.

Paris, July 3.—Count Caselni, who was formerly Minister to China, in an inter view' to-day. said: "Whet surprises me most is to see the Chiense resist a.- they are doing. When I learned that the Chinese had purchased In Germany of recent years, 13.000 Mau sers, with 1,000 cartridges for each riffe. I felt ratified that it was money wasted. Recent events show 1 was wrong. Port Arthur, a first-class fortress, was captured with a loss of fifteen men to the Japanese, but 4<X> Europeans were killed in the, cap ture of the paltry forts at Taku. It must be admitted this is a serious change. The discipline of the Chlneee has also changed." Count Cassini does not believe the Chi nese government itself at first directed the insurrection, nor does lie share the Idea that the Dowager Empress ha® be come # the instrument of Prince Tuan. The Count further remarked: “The Chinese arc certainly encouraged by the success of their resistance. If the ministers are dead, I do not see what will be the solution. There is little doubt that the assassination of the German minister will make the Kaiser very exact ing. If the ministers are safe, the only policy is to declare that the Powers have a quarrel only with the Boxers, and not with the Chinese nation, and endeavor to maintain a government with which ohe, can neglotiate. ‘Let us act vigorously. The 30.000 or 60.- 000 European troops who will soon be at Pekin will suffice for present exigencies. But do not let us rush blindly into a war. A war of the European Powers against China would be one of the gravest events of the century, especially as we do not know whether the union now reigning be tween the Powers would survive several campaigns." WILLIAM DECLARES VENGEANCE. He Mill Blunt the Flag of Germany Above That of Chinn. Berlin. July 3.—Addressing the detach ment of German marines which sailed from Wiihelmshaven for China yester day, the Emperor made a remarkable s|>eech. during which he notified the world of Germany’s intention to avenge the mur der of Baron von Ketteler, the late min ister of Germany at Pekin, and the? mis sionaries, and to dictate terms to the Chi nese from the palace at Pekin. His Maj esty spoke as follows: “The firebrand of war has been hurled in the midst of the most profound peace. Fnhapplly, this was to me not unexpected. The crime 1h unspeakable insolence, hor rifying in the barbarity that has been committed against the person of my trus ty representative, and has taken him from us.

"The German flag has been insulted and the German empire treated with con tempt. This demands exemplary punish ment and vengeance. Events have moved with frightful rapidity and have become profoundly grave and still graver. Since I called you to arms, what I hoped to ©f fect with the help of the marine Infantry has now become a difficult task, which can only be fulfilled with the help of the serried ranks of all civilized states. “1 will not rest until the German flag, joined to those of the other Powers, floats triumphantly over China’s flag, and until it has been planted on the walls of Pekin to dictate peace to the Chinese.

That Force Necessary to Relieve the .Ministers nt Pekin. (Copyright, 1900, by the Associated Preps.) Tien Tsin, June 29, via Che Foo, July 1, and Shanghai.

A MIX- YEAR-OLD HELD THE SHIP. Without Ills Grandmother He Would Not Go, and the NVerra Waited. From the New York Sun. As the Werra of the North German- Lloyd Steamship Line made ready to sail yesterday morning a 6-year-old boy inter fered and held the big ship, w’ith her hundreds of passengers, just twenty-two minutes by the clock. The boy was found wandering about the ship, and he said that his grandmother had gone ashore to buy a hat to replace one thut he had lost overboard. He heard the warning whis tle for those 10 go ushore who were visit ors only. and he bolted for the wharf and could not be persuaded to stay on board the ship without his grandmother. Every body waited aud evereybody watched him. Men stood at the head of the gang plank, rope in hand, waiting to hoist It clear of the ship. The weeping was over, the goodbys had nil been said, and every bo ly waited in silence, watching the boy and looking up the pier for his grand mother. A good Samaritan took the boy in hia arms and started for tiie end of the pier to see if the child could recognize any one. The order was given finally to take the baggage of the child and his protec tor ashore. It was found that the grand mother’s name was on the passenger list and that her stateroom was full of bag gage. so it would not do to go without the hoy, yet he could not he persuaded to come on hoard, and no one wanted to force him. As he was a regularly record ed passenger there was an awkward com plication, and the steamer waited. Every body was at the greatest tension. The block and tackle was fastened to the plank nnd officers were impatient, but the hoy was not o bo moved in his determina tion. Hr* refused to return to the ship. At last his grandmother, a very old wo man. was found on board, and, hurry ing. to the head of the gangplank, she dropped to her knees and with outstretch ed arms Implored the boy to come quick ly to her. A man hurried up the plank to her with him nnd there was a great outburst of cheering as the ship harked out of her dock. Wllllt I* II tall OH t f From the Westminster ReVlew. There is no doubt that a |>erson may ap parently see objects and hear words which another person close by cannot see and hear. Such impressions are to be referred not to actually existing ob jects, but to the action of the subject’s mind. Dr. Abercromby tell* us of one patient who could, by directing his atten tion to an idea, call up to sight the ap propriate image or scene, though the thing called up were an object he had never seen, but had merely imagined. When meeting a frVnd in the street he could not be sure whether the appearance was bis friend or a spectral illusion till he had tried to touch it and had heard the voice. Goethe saw an exact counterpart of himself advancing toward him. an ex perience repeated by Wilkie Collins. Sir Walter Scott relates that soon after thi death of Lord Byron he read an account of the deceased poet. On stepping into the hall Immediately after he saw righl before him, in a standing posture, the ex act representation of his departed friend, whose recollection hnd been so strongly brought to hi* imagination. After stop ping a moment to note the extraordinary resemblance, he advanced toward it and the figure gradually disappeared. Some of the cases narrated by Sir Dav id Brewster are particularly instructive. The subject, was a lady (Mrs. A.), and hei hallucinations were carefully studied by her husband and Sir David. On one oc casion she saw' her husband, as sht thought, who had gone out half an hour before, standing within two feet of her In the drawing room. She was astonished to receive no response when she .spoke to l.im. She remembered that Sir David had to’d her to press one eyeball with the finger, when the Impression of any real object would ife doubled. Bhe tried to apply the test, but the figure walked away and disappeared. The simple sci entific experiment diverted her attention from the creation of her mind, and this, no longer being In sole possessions, could not maintain itself, and was dissolved. Another hallucination took the form of her dead sister-in-law. The figure ap peared in a dress which Mrs. A. had never seen, but which had been described to her by a common friend. —England’s patent office Ivas just issue* its report for 1899, and It appears that there has been a falling off during th# # past twelve months, as there is a diminu tion of about 1,000 in the number of the year’s complete specifications.
