Before my arrival I had no communication with anyone preparatory to such a performance on my part.” In the marter of candidates the field is rich. Today the New York delegation added the name of William J Gaynor, mayor of New York, to the list. His picture was thrown to the freezes and his workers got into action . The Underwpod people announced a meeting of all the supporters of the Alabama congressman fo.r this evening. It is a meeting not only of the delegates who are instructed for Underwood, and those who, uninstructed; favor him f but of all of his friends and workers. A monster demonstration for Champ' Clark, the Missouri candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, was held today. The demonstration took the form of a parade in which fully 10,000 persons were in line. The parade wound up at the convention hall a short time before the convention was called to order. Bryan For President. “Bryan for president.” This was the cry that was started and taken up by scores of delegates when it became almost certain that William Jennings Bryan had seized the whip hand from the reactionaries in the Democratic party and would probably control the national convention. - Committee Vote on Chairman.

Campaign Plans Will Be Arranged— Members Have Power to Name Officers of Organization Who Will Direct Contest. Chicago, June 25.—President Taft will be consulted regarding the organization of the new Republican national committee, and his wishes probably will be followed.

Washington, June 25. —‘ Congratulations’' is a much overworked word at the White House. All day the president was busy shaking hands with senators and representatives and their friends who called to congratulate him upon his renomination and the chief executive found little time to dictate answers to the vast number of letters and telegrams, which poured in upon him. Senator Brown of Nebraska and Representatives Cannon, Mann, Towne, Hughes and Campbell were among those who called at the White House.

THIRTY DIE IN NIAGARA

River Gives Up Some of Dead at Eagle Park. Sixteen Bodies Recovered So Far at Place Where Pier Collapsed— Says Planks Were Decayed. Buffalo, N. Y., June 25.—Up to noon sixteen bodies had been recovered from the Niagara river at Eagle park, the scene of a drowning tragedy, and the official list of identified dead and missing reached a total of thirty. In the confusion of the accident families became separated, and there is a faint hope that some of those listed as missing may be found. There is little doubt, however, that the list of dead will reach twenty. George Richmeyer, who lost his wife and ten-year-old son, saw them carried clear of the wreckage by the current that sweeps past the pier at the rate of ten miles an hour. He was clinging to a pile holding his infant son in his arms and could do nothing to save the other members of his family. George McKee, who also lost his wife and infant son, saw them go down in the mass of struggling people and they did not reappear. Many others, it is feared, were swept away, and until a careful canvass is made the exact number of dead will not be known. The section of the pier which gave way was about fifty feet In width. The rpedical examiner who examined the wreckage at daw’n found that many of the broken planks were decayed. —
