COLORADO SURPASSES HOPES
New Armored Crolaer Makes Ran of
SailO Knota nn , Hon Over
Measured Conrae.
DELAWARE BRHAKWATBR. Dl.
July 8. On the" unoftlEior bollder1- trial
trip today the United1; State armored
cruiser Colorado achieved ., a - maximum
speed over a measured Cour.-e of 82.81 Idiots
an hour, the average f two runs under
forced , draught being at the rate of 22.10
knots an hour.. This1 result Is highly gratl
fylng- to the builders, as the requirements
of the contract were exceeded In every re
spect. , . '
Expert on board predicted after the run
that the Colorado would average not less
than 22Vi knot on the official trial trip,
and thua exceed the contract speed require
ment by at least half a knot.
In speaking of the result of the test.
Vice President Edwin Cramp of the Cramp
Shipbuilding company, said; , "Th per
formance of machinery was perfect In
vary respect. The Nlclausse boiler, about
which there has been so much controversy,
performed Its function admirably. Th
model of the ship is so excellent that at
the top speed there was a remarkable ab
sence of waves, both at tha bow and at the
tern.' Another noticeable feature of th
trial wa the entire absence of vibration
at all speeds. The result, altogether, show
the Colorado to be without a peer in the
American navy or any other navy."

the delegations promised for Parker, they
are In a state of extreme confidence, so
much so, indeed, that they are not paying
any attention to the arrival ot the leaders
of the Tammany delegation. In fact. Sena
tor McCarren aald significantly this even
ing: "We are looking for people who have
unlnetructad vote to deliver. The Tam
many vote will be cast by ex-Senatof
Murphy, who vote New York state under
the unit rule, and he will cost them lor
Parker, who will be nominated perhaps on
the first ballot and surely on the second.'
Two things were stated definitely at
Senator Hill' headquarter tonight First,
that no platform has been drawn for Judge
Parker to stand on and that even a rough
draft will not b forthcoming until Wednes
day, and, second, that Judge Parker, as a
candidate, will readily stand on any plat
form that a majority of the convention
agrees upon.
Thla last statement 1 significant, bet
cause It I thoroughly well known that he
would not stand on a radical platform. It
Is therefor evident that the Parker sup
porter ar already assured that the con
vention will not agree to even a uggestion
of radicalism, as suggested by Bryan and
Hearst supporters, but, indeed, will tend
strongly in an entirely dlSerent direction,
particularly on th financial and tariff
planks. ' '
A man close to Senator Hill said tonight:
'The feeling tn that the Bryan element
have had their way twice. One year they
did as they pleased and the next time they
wer catered to by having the old platform
endorsed. They have had their Innings
and hav failed; this time they, must give
way to the conservatives, and If they are
good democrats they will do It gracefully.
- Bryanltea Mast Give Way.
. "This is not a mere sentiment from New
Yorkers or from the east Only this after
noon State Senator Bamberger of Utah
came here and made the statement that
while be had twice supported Bryan and
hi principles and had In each campaign
given largely of his personal. wealth to try
and elect him. he believed that he should
be eliminated from this campaign and that
If necessary tba party should go to the
extreme of absolute repudiation of his
ideas. The Texas delegation also feel the
same about It and are tor a direct declara
tion in favor of sound money."
And so aome of the time of the Parker
adherents this afternoon waa given up to
the consideration of a financial plank In
the platform. There Is some difference Of
opinion as to whether the plank should read
"sound money" or simply refer to the
"money of the constitution,"-while a few
think it would be eminently proper; to de
clare for a gold standard. This latter
thing will tiot be done, but It is" probabl
that there will be a 'declaration for the
"money of the constitution."
. Senator Hill himself is paying little or
no attention to the platform at present, and
this etatement'waa mad for him this after
noon by one of those close to him:
"Sehator Hill la not drawing the plat
form, and while he will represent th atate
in committee on resolution, wllK not be
its ohalrman. Several men of affairs, In
cluding : the United State senator and
members of congress, are preparing Indi
vidual planks and will submit them at a
conference on Tuesday or Wednesday. But
Senator Hill wants It distinctly understood
that he has no platform prepared and that
th only thing he 1 devoting hi attention
to 1 th nomination of Judge' Parker."
Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock th na
tional committee will meet for th purpose
of hearing evidence In a number ot con
test and deciding in favor of . delegate
who are to be seated under the temporary
roll call. The real fight In the majority of
these cases will come before the commit
tee on credentials. The principal contest
will be In Illinois, where protests are made
against two of the delegates-at-large, John
P. Hopkins and Ben T. Cable, and twenty
six other delegates, two from each of thir
teen districts. . '
. verat Contest On. -'
, Th base of contest In all these case I
practically the same, it being alleged that
th Hopkins faotlon In th Illinois democ
racy arbitrarily unseated delegatea of the
Ljlarrison and Hearst faction tor purposes
of their own, without a shadow of cause.
The Hopkins people, on . th other hand,
claim be original elections war void and
that tha action taken at the Illlnol state '
convention whan th delegate of th
Harrison and Hearst people were unseated
waa only righting a wrong previously com
mitted. Th Harrison people seek to substitute
th name of their men tor th Hopkins
delegatea In th Second, Third, Ninth and
Tenth districts. - Effort will also be mad
to unseat th ' Hopkins delegates In the
Eleventh, Twelfth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth,
Eighteenth,' Twenty-first, Twenty-third, and
Twenty-fifth districts. The fight for th
eats In th Illlnol delegation take on a
decided Interest from th fact that William
J. Bryan ha entered th llat actively
against the Hopklna people and will lend
all of hla Influence to unseat them. Ho
declared today when discussing the fights
that are to bo made tomorrow before the
national committee: "In my opinion there
Is no mora important question bepn-e, the
public today than whether or not a few
men, ona of whom happen to hav a gavel
In hi hand, shall override tb wishes ot
th voters who have selected certain' men
to represent them In convention.
The people elect their men and should
hav them, but In som cases of late. It
does not look to m aa though they wer
getting them. I am oppod to such thing
from very standpoint
Soma of th assurance of th Parker
managers on th sdocess of their candidal
waa based upon a atatament mada to them

Admiral Kamlmura, who Is holding the
Corean straits, cleared and then pursued
the Vladivostok ships, which as night came
on retreated In a northerly direction. 'The

guard the straits, and he. would not hurt
