Beyond tho personality ( ot tho dclegatcs-at-large and some slight differences over tho wording of tho resolu,- j Hons thcro are no contorts npparcnt. It looks tonight as If .the dclcgntlon-at-largo i would bo made up of Cato Sells of Vinton, E. J 11. Evans ot Des Moines, Charles A. Walsh of Ottumwa and Judgn A, Van Wagemon of Sioux City. The selection nf Sells nnd Walsh Is conceded; Evans and Van Wagenen arc meeting with considerable opposition, bu) nppcar to bo In tho lead. Tho namci ot Frederick E. White, democratic candidate for governor in 1897 and 189D, Is also men tioned, biit ho is not an nctivo candldato. Tho resolutions will Indorse Bryan and the delegates will be Instructed to voto for him at Kansas City. The Chicago platform will bo reafllrmed In general terms, but trouble may cnsuei over the direct expres sion on the money question. Ono of the party leaders, who will exercise strong In- fluc'nco ' over the committee on resolutions, 'said tonight that tho pronouncement on the silver question would not bo in tho nature of a specific declaration In favor of 1G to 1. The disposition seems to bo to Indorse tho Chicago platform in general terms and, stop there, although a considerable element! of tho. delegates, led by John S. Murphy of. Dubuque, nro Insisting on nn emphntlc ex pression In favor of 16 to 1. This dlfteronce, will probably be fettled In tho committee on resolutions. It Is not believed that a minority report will bp submitted. Temporary Chairman Sullivan, In his nd dress, will declare for "bimetallism," but will mako no speclQc mention pt 16 to 1. He will devoto most of his time to strong dec larations In favor of the curtailment of Jho powers of tho trusts and against the ad minlntratlon's policy In the Philippines and Porto Itlco.

They must havo lived for some time In prnyerful expectation ot rescue reaching them. Bernard Dougnll, a prominent and enter prising young engineer from Springvllle, Utah, who had just entered the mine a few minutes beforo with his assistants, was found with his Instrument net, whllo ho and his men lay dead around tt. As fast ns tho bodies wero romoved they wero carried to the company barn across the canyon, where thoy wero washed and Identified. Presents (JlinMly Slitht. The scono was" ghastly, yet most pathetic. Between the blackened and stalwart lay about a dozen little lads who hnd been en gaged as couplers and trappers. Some lay alongside of their fathers nnd elder brothers. It wns a scene that made many a strong man turn away In. tears, After tho foul air cleared away from No. X tho work of rescue began hero and It was soon found that a great many of the miners of No, 1 had been suffocated. The men of the lower levels had been warned of tho cxplcslon nnd had made their escape before tho gaseous air had reached them. Cars were takon In and the dead were loa.d?i Into them and brought to tho mouth. Hero tho scene beggared all description, for the men. women and children, relatives of tho dead miners', had begun to gather, and' as tho , .bodies wero brought out and recognized by their respectlvo families tho lamentations wero most heartrending. Tho dead were all carried into the boarding houses directly opposite the mine and at midnight oYr i300.s,talwnrt men, nearly all heads of families, were laid out In thq cold' eni'oraci''qru,t)jath. Bishop Thomas Parmley, superintendent of tho operations here, gives It as his opinion that the explosion was brought about by giant powdep which was taken into the mine by some of tho miners, that exploded In some unaqcbu'ntablo way, Igniting the dust and thereby causing an explosion. .Mine Considered Sate. This, mine, lias been worked for over twenty years and has tho reputation, according to Stato Mine Inspector Thomas, of being ono of tho best ventilated and protected In the west. He states that he Inspected It less than five weeks ngo and bcllovcd It entirely safe at t,hat time. It has never had bad air and has always been free from gas, and as the coa) Is all luaded with shovels thoro has not been a large accumulation ot dust. Nine-tenths of the men killed are Ameri cans and Welsh. Tho former como mostly from Utah, with a small number from Ten rlesseo and Colorado. Harry Taylor, one ot the Injured men, said ho remembers tho moment of tho awful ex plosion, and he told of It, a few words at a time, when all his energj wns not utilized In bearing up under the attacks ot pain, "I was repairing some track out on tho dump," said the injured, man, "when I started toward the mouth of tbo tunnel to get somo tools.. I got about fifty feet away from tho tunnel mouth when nil of a sudden there was an awful report and at the same tlmo a black cloud, filled with rocks, bore down on mo like n streak ot lightning. I felt eoveral small rocks strllto me; then quick ai a wink I felt a Jolt on my side nnd then then I camo nway," said tho Injured man with a ghastly attempt at smiling. "Next thing I 'know I woke up with a man pouring some brandy doTn rtiy throat add I saw thb boys lying all around mo moaning for help. Wo vcro fixed up and put on the train."" J.
