Tho belief Is general that somo kind of an endorsement from Colonel Ilrynn would be sufficient to name tho candidate, hut It will be n bold man who will dare to proclaim that any one particular candidate Is tho cholco of the man nlrcady deter mined upon for president. There nro not enough delegates here to even glvo an In timation of what Is likely to occur. Dis patches received hero from different sec tions Indicate that the delegates who havo been sounded on tho question havo not yet made up their minds, or they do not enro to express a preference for any candidate. Thero Is nn Impression that good politics of tho situation would mean tho selection of a man from New York uud If a satisfactory candidate cannot ho found, then tho next best thing to do would bo to go to Indiana. Western democrats would bo glad to havo an eastern man named who would add strength to tho ticket In that section. From tho Nebraska viewpoint and In fact looking at the map from Kansas City, Indiana might bo considered east. Uoth New York and In diana are considered battle grounds. Hath wero carried for McKlnley In 1896, but tho confidence of the democrats In their nblllty to reverse tho vote In Indiana and tho strong hopes they entertain of carrying Now York, Is ono of tho interesting fea tures of tho situation here. It Is this con dition that causes tho democrats to talk of a vice presidential candldato from ono of thoso states. Thero will have to bo moro delegates In tho city and something llko nilgnmenl of forces for and against certain candidates for vice president before even guesses can be made with any degrco of In telligence.

Dadges bear ing tho words "Bryan nnd Sulzer and Vic tory," with portraits of tho men. nro being distributed to nil who will wear them, while another method of campaign has been adopted In spreading broadcast a small hand bill. This document contains only a few words and quotes from a speech mado by Champ Clark In tho house of representatives, In which tho Mlssourlan sold: "In this distinguished presence I nominate for vice president William Sulzer of New York, who Is faithful to tho causo at all limes, in all places and under nil olreum btances. I honor Mr. Sulzer lor his courage, his honesty nnd his fidelity exhibited amid environment which would discourage, dis hearten and appall a moro timid man." An Interview with Mr. Sulzer, telegraphed from Lincoln nnd published here, quotes him as saying thaf he stood with Bryan on the Hoer question and evory other Question. Ho also declared that the New York delegation would do whatever Is best for tho party and If the convention wants 16 to 1 the delega tion will not oppose IU I'rcNltlliiK Olllcer In Doulil. Tho selection of presiding officers has not yet been determined. Tho national committee will name tho temporary chair man, who will no doubt be endorsed by tho convention. So far as posslblo the com mltteo will also arrange for tho permanent chairman and available men for thnt placo will bo canvassed at tho first meeting. Mayor D. A. Rose of Milwaukeo and Charles S. Thomas of Colorado huvo been suggested for temporary chairman und It Is expected that ono of them will bo chosen. Representative James D. Richardson of TonncfBCo has hcen suggested for perma nent chairman. Mr. Richardson acted as permanent chairman during n portion of the Chicago convention when Senator White's voice failed. The most elaborate decorations for stato headquarters that has been teen at any national convention nro being fitted up for Kansas. Tho state has secured a very large building on Baltimore avenue and tho wholo lower floor is being gorgeously decorated with flags, bunting nnd oleo rlo light effects.

Joiion l'nvorn (ienernl Kiiilorai-inrut. Senntor Jones of Arkansas, chairman of tho democratic national committee, arrived In Kansas City tonight and In a brief in terview stated that ho did not think n specific 16 to 1 silver declaration wns neces sary, If tho Chicago platform was adopted. He was asked the direct question If a specific declaration would bo mado If tho Chicago platform was adopted and replied with a question; "Would not tho reaffirm ation of the Chicago platform bo a declara tion In favor of 16 to 1? I think It would bo." Ho then added with deliberation: "I think that nothing will bo adopted by this convention that would bo a deviation so much as tho breadth of a hair from tho principles laid down In tho Chicago plat form. A rcafllrmntlon of that platform will mean tho adoption of every word and letter In It, Including tho 1C to 1 declaration. I do not believe that n reiteration of thnt I plank or any other Is necessary to mako plain our position. If It is necessary to ro stato the 16 to 1 provision. It would be equally neccBsnry to state that relating to the supremo court government by Injunc tion, tho Incomo tnx and ovcry other pro vision, for If wo should slnglo out ono pro vision only and specify It, thero might be a claim that we did not mean to endorse tho other features in reaffirming tho Chi cago platform. If tho convention rendopta the Chicago platform It will mean that evory syllablo Is endorsed, I do not know "Little Strokes Fell Great Oaks. The giants of the forest must yield at lust to the continual blows of the tooods man. When the human blood has become clogged and impure the little drops of Hood's Sarsaparilla, properly taken, wilt fell the oak of bad blood. I Just what form the endorsement will take, but It will mean everything It says." Just nt this point some ono broke In with a question ns to whether or not per sons who did not support tho Chicago plat form could support the Kansas City plat form If It should reaffirm tho former? "I'm not the keeper of tho consciences of such people and cannot tell what they can do," replied Senator Jones. Tho senator Bald ho did not know- whether Mr. Ilrynn was coming to Kansas City and ho did not expect to go to Lincoln for tho present. When asked concerning tho vice presl- dency, ho replied that ho did not know who would bo nominated nnd had no Intimation as to the favorite. Tho matter of tem porary officers would, ho said, bo considered nt tlio meeting of tho committee. To n question Concerning the chairman ship of the national committee, he returned an answer Indicating that ho did not wish to discuss tho matter.

Tho viceroy, It was further announced, had caused tho ringleaders of the mob which attacked tho Francol, party June 7 to bo beheaded. Tho French government, M. Dolcasss said, was In receipt of n cable dispatch saying tho viceroys of Nankin and Hankow guaranteed the safety of foreigners In cen tral and southern provinces, where order, It is asserted, has thus far been undisturbed. PARIS. Juno 20.-3:10 p. m. Later It was announced that the Chinese legation hero had communicated to the French govern ment the text of n document cabled by tho viceroys of Nankin nnd Hankow, June 27, which Is an agreement between the vice roys nnd consulH at Shanghai whereby, sub ject to certain conditions, the viceroys un dertake to protect tho mleslonarles nnd foreign merchants In eouth nnd east China. Tho document, which was sent for ratifica tion by M. Dclcnssc, consists of nine articles. WASHINGTON, June 2H. The State de partment also wns made acquainted with tho terms of the agreement between the con suls und tho viceroys looking to the protec tion of foreign Interests la tho southern provinces of China. The first Btep to this end was indicated In Secretary Hay's cable gram of last Wednesday to tho American consuls In China authorizing them to take direct action Instead of wnltlng on possible communications with Minister Conger. Thus authorized, Consul General GoodnoiV nt Shanghai and probably several otliern In the south began negotiations with the viceroys and tao tals of their respective districts. The outcome; was the pl.ie articles ol agree n?cnt. The text is withheld here fronl puh-. llcatlon, but It Is underjt iol that tin general purpose Is to m.il.e neiiTal the Chinese treaty ports at Nan'dn and Hankow. The neutralization wiuid Involve t wlthdtawal of foreign menof-w.tr from the treaty ;iorts and also of nny foreign troop.s er shllors. leaving to tho rh;ne authorities tind the residents of Sh.vulMl nnd th o'her ports the preservation of order. At Shanghai the foreign settlements hive organized n very effective home guard, u 'hat this port wotti.i bo much safer as a refus;; for forelgni'i.i than any other In that part of China, In the ovent that the neutralization scheme Is p-tt Into effect. The agrestuent Is Lclloved to have come to tho Stato department thiough Mr. Wu, the Chinese mlntsur hero, nnd Is prcbably ono of n number of Identical notc3 addressed to tho Europion powers and ths United States. Before It can become effect ive it must receive the formal approval of tho government here, nn 1 to that end the matter was laid beforo tho cabinet at today's uesslon. Ah already Bta'ed there Is precouent for tho neutralization of tho treaty porta in time of war, but the conditions were never qulto similar to thoso now proposed, Tho cabinet failed to ratify tho agree ment nt today's meeting. In fast, the docu ment In Its Inception nnd various stages of development was regarded as properly open to such doubt ns to warrant tho bclljf that tho foreign consuls, as a body, certainly never entered Into tho agreement. In addi tion to tho subjects abovo mentioned as forming part of tho ngrcemont, it appears that tho consuls bound themselves to acquit tho Chinese government of any responsi bility for rioting, murder nnd pillage in tho treaty ports If nny foreign war ship should enter such port in violation of the agree ment. No safeguard was even Interposed to secure tho exemption of war shlpa whose commanders might be unaware of the state of affairs In tho treaty ports and the pro hibition against their entry. Thero was an apparent conflict between somo of tho provisions, and In fact tho whole reputed agreement bore the appearance of a rough memorandum which the cabinet con cluded could never have received tho nssent of all of the foreign consuls, even supposing that somo of them might havo become fright ened Into acquiescence. Therefore no sters wero taken, even to ascertain by direct Inquiry of Consul Gen eral Goodnow whether the agreement was authentic and ho had signed It. It was sim ply assumed that If ho had done so he would havo acquainted the department, being In ready cablo communication. So the nutter was dropped. Tho text of tho cablegram of the viceroys to tho Chlneso minister In Paris Is as fol lows; We, tho viceroys of Nankin nnd Hankow, In order properly to provldo for the protec. tlon of missionaries and foreign merchants In tho southern nnd eastern parts of tho Chinese empire, have ordered the governor of Shanghai to Htibmlt to nil thn consuls nnd to combine with them In the following ucreements: Article 1 Tho measures we have taken havo In view tho protection of the lives and properties of missionaries nnd of foreign and Chinese merchants without distinction. Artlolo 2 It U understood on both sides thnt tho Shanghai concession shall bo pro teotpd by the foreign powers. Article 'A Tho viceroy of Nankin nnd tho viceroy of Hankow formally engage to pro tect the properties of missionaries and for eign merchants In the valley of the Yangtse Klung and In the ports of Foil Chow and Hankow. Orders havo been tlvcn by them to tho local authorities In the various prov Inces, forbidding the spreading of false news nnd directing the arrest of the Box ers, Artlclo 4 In ports where foreign wnrshlps nre lying they nro authorized to remain at nnehorage on condition that tho sailors re main on board, Article 5 Should the foreign powers send wurshlps to tho Ynnetso Klung without tho consent of tho viceroys nnd governors ths latter nro not to be responsible for tho mis deeds or massacre resulting, and China shall not bo called upon to pay Indemnity. Article 6 Foreign worships Hhall not ap proach or anchor iear tho Woo Sum? forts or those In tho valley under nny pretext, not even for the drill of sailors.

Should, how ever, a viceroy or governor withdraw nny he must not bo suspected. Article S In places thus far devoid of troops missionaries nnd foreign travelers aro not to ko, In order thnt they may not expose themselves to nny danger whnt ever. Article 9 The protection of the Shanghai concession shall be carried out with tho greatest calmness and with an absence of ostentation, for In the present excited eon. dltloti of the people the slightest nlnrm might provoke disorders, of which evil minded persons could tnke advantage to In stitute dangerous agitation, If other action Is tnkeii than thnt here ex. pounded It will be Impossible to protect the lives and property of natives and foreign ers. The consuls have not yet signed the agree ment, but aro waiting nuthorlzntlon from their respective governments. The viceroys conclude hy Instructing tho minister In tho Interest of the various prov inces of southeast China to submit this ar rangement ns quickly as possible to the French minister of foreign nfialra and to beg him to ncccpt It. Information received apart from tho cable gram to the Chinese minister shows thnt tho consuls have not yet signed.
