July 12.-Lt week's se curity market gavn a clear reflection of the determination arrived at by an exces sive number of stock market participants to throw off the waiting attitude main tained for some time and to act on their conviction that butter things were In pros pect for business snd Industry. In con trast with the absolute stagnation Into which the market had fallen by the close of the preceding wiek, there sprang up a degree of animation not equalled before since the early period f June, the average dally transactions rising well over half a million shares. There was expansion slao In the bond divisions and a broadening if demand In that department which was most encouraging to sentiment. The as surance of abundant suppl es of banking le- ource. throughout the year, the promise of crop yields above the avetage for te cent years and the approaching termina tion of the session, of the democratic na tional convention were the main factors In stimulating the new speculative drpartute. Tue spirit of uncertainty and the conse quent halt In business activity have be lon.e so much a matter of course In years of national .olltlcal campaigns that prog ress towards eliminating the uncertainties iTa cf recognised beneficial elfect.

The news of the action f the democratic convention at Denver, Including in Its platform a plank favoring the exclusion from the United States of Aslatlo laborers, Is taken here to be di rected against Japanese and la causing con siderable surprise and displeasure. In some quarters Indignation la expressed and the declaration Is made that such a clause is an Infringement on the treaty lights of Japan and opposed to the principle of humanity that should govern the relations of nation. It la generally believed, how ever, by those, familiar with political con ditions In America that the majority of democrats are not an U-Japanese In senti ment and that the exclusion clause was Incorporated in the platform for the pur pose of satisfying the labor element.

Wash., July 12 (SpeclaU The Northern Pacific railroad Is planning to establish a transfer point at Billings. Mont., similar to the Minnesota transfer be tween, eapolls snd St. Paul. It will be ehlef; ed for the transfer of lumber and hr-xp yid will result In a Mg saving on h.uli, the markets of Iowa, Ne braska, f "J and Missouri. At BUM, be lumber shipment! for points on Ujt ilngton road will be trans ferred. Elthc s will be transferred and sent through '2 e markets or the lumber will be unlof, n held until time to place on the rr. . Many manufacturers oppose the est. nent of the new trans fer, claiming t. ) will result In still further speculation In lumber and shingles. The speculators operating at the, Minnesota transfer are much under a cloud with bicil lumbermen, who cjnlm that the speculators buy when the price Is down and then hold the lumber until the price goes up. They dump such large quantities of lumber and shlnglea on the market that the price Is beaten down again. There are some lumber men, however, mho say this has Its ad vantage as It keeps their mills running when the price Is low and the demand Is light, for the speculators stock up at that time. The Northern Pacific Is making a thor ough canvass of the lumbermen and Henry Blakeley, general western freight agent of the Northern Pacific, says that a majority of the lumbermen want the new transfer point. The new plan will tako considerable business away from the Minnesota transfer, but will save time and money for shipments Into the Missouri river states. BROTHER CHARLIE BACK HOME Adds to His Vocabulary Through Aseoclntlon with Mayor Jim. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, July 12.-Speclal.)-Brother Charlie Bryan came in this afternoon, happy and confident from his triumphs at Denver, with the congratulations of Tam maqy ringing In his ears. Tammany said the steam roller at Denver was the best machine ever constructed and never In the history of Tammany had any of the braves seen anything like It. Brother Charlie told about It himself, though he didn't use the commonplace term "machine." Mayor Jim and Brother Charlie ware close together at Denver all the time and as a result the lat ter has some new expressions which he never used befoe. For Instance, he said. In discussing the work of the Bryan steam roller: "We dealt the cards out on the table face up. and everything was open and above board ?" "The delegates leaving Denver carried with them no sore spots." said Mr. Bryan, "not even the contestsnts who lost out. A portion of the Minnesota delegation came here with me and stopped off to assure Mr. Bryan that they Intended to work for the success of the ticket." It is understood neither John Mitchell nor Samuel Oompers will take any active part In the campaign, though Brother Charlie said each was satisfied with the platform snd eacl has made a tiumn .. ...... ciiuiii BUCK the position of the democrats. 1M Minnesota bunch went" out to see the nomlnoe and spent a half hour with h m At noon the Ohio delegation called at Falrview and presented Mr. Bryan with a horseshoe made of buckeyes This delegation apparently had more hero wor shippers In It than any which had stopped off. They picked hands full of alfalfa car rled away a lot of sweet peas from the sun parlor and even grass. These thin?, were placed In long pocket books, or car rled In the hands of the visitors. Mr. Bryan made no speeches. It b.Mng Sunday, but simply talked with his guests Informally and then shook hands with each.

"Are you .atlsfled." he was asked, "with the result of the Denver convention?" "I am very well satisfied." he replied On the whole as well satisfied as if the result hud been different. The nomination of Mr. Bryan was not unexpected. The result had been anticipated for the last thirty days. I am not at all disappointed " "How do you, like the platform?" "I call it a very strong platform." "What do you think of the vice presiden tial nominee?" "I do not know Mr. Kern. I never met him and know little about him. but he eem. to stand well.

IllTCnCOCTS RAPID RISE His Appointment a Triumph for Young- Man in Politics. HAS GENIUS FOR THE BIO GAME .New .National Chairman's Ability Wsi Discovered by George D. Cortel yon In Roosevelt Campaign Poor Years Ago. (From a Etaff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, July 12.-(Speclal.) The selection of Frank Harris Hitchcock ss chairman of the national republican com mittee gives most general satisfaction at the national capital. His selection, un doubtedly made upon the suggestion of the republican nominee for the presi dency, William Howard Taft, Is a triumph for the young man In politics. I.Ike tho republican national convention, which was largely made up of men who, but a score of years ago, were casting their first votes, the campaign of 1P08 will largely center around comparatively young men of whom Frank Hitchcock Is one of the best ex amples. Hitchcock, although Just turned forty, has accomplished much since he arrived at legal age. Born In Ohio In 1KS7, his early education was obtained In Boston where he fitted himself to enter Harvard, from which he graduated in Kil. He graduated from the Columbian University law school In 18M, the Institu tion which has since changed Its name to George Washington University. He was admitted to the bar In the District of Columbia the year of his graduation and three years later was admitted to prac tice In the supreme court of the United States. Hitchcock cstne to this voteless com munity Immediately after his graduation from Harvard, taking a position In the Agricultural department, where It was his business to tell an expectant public Just how many bushels of wheat or corn had been shipped to foreign marts, how many hogs had died In transit and Incorporate In statistical reports a lot of other In formation valuable to persons In trade, but e-ctremely tiresome to the average read er. Destiny, however, had picked out for Hitchcock a different career from that of a government statistician, which seemed to bo his calibre when In Wilson's Farm do partment. As Cortelyon'a Assistant. Four years ago when nls distinguished predecessor, George Bruce Cortelyou, wanted a man for assistant secretary at the New Tork headquarters Hitchcock was selected and the current of his life was changed. The new national chairman early developed a genius for politics having been a good deal of a politician In his early days at Harvard. While with Cortelyou he showed ability of the first order. He was a hard worker, full of Initiative, chock full of ideas, an unremitting toller; he had a gift for organization, was splendidly equipped for administration; a card-Index man. In a sense, but his Index stands for system, thoroughness and perse'rverlng In dustry absolutely essential factors for the great game ho Is to play for his chief dur Ing the next four months. Frank Hitchcock was comparatively un known four years ago. Today he Is at the head of the party organization occupying the place formerly filled by such masters of political sagacity as Matthew 8. Quay, Mark Hanna and Henry C. Payne, leaders who will be remembered as long as the re publican party endures. Frank Hitchcock represents In the best sense of the term "addition, division and silence." He adds and he divides but al ways keeping a silent tongue and the prac tlcally unknown of four years ago is now called the "Steam Roller Man" of Chicago. There Is no country outside the I'nited States In the world In which a man could attain to such heights In as short a time and with his comparative youth as has Frank Hitchcock. In appearance Frank Frank Hitchcock has the manner of a student. He is youngish-looking with light hair Inclined to redness, steely blue eyes, a well set up figure showing power in repose and before he went to work for Uncle Sam was fond of sports, enjoying at Harvard the distinction of being the champion heavyweight boxer of that Institution. His selection as chairman of the national com mittee. It Is confidently believed, will show Judge Taft's far-sighted wisdom. Vacation for Horses. The horses which draw the mall wagons of Wabhlngton over the hot asphalt streets of the capital are to be given each a thirty days' leave of absence Ji-st tho same a the clerks of tho departments. This Is a new departure and tho first certificate gtanting "leave of absence" for a horse was signed up yetterday by Chief Clerk Conrad of the Fostofflce department. This leave was drawn up upon the uaual blank form used by a clerk when applying for hl leave. The horse didn't wrUe It out, but he will know the effect of It In a few days. This horse, the first to be gran'.ed a regulation leave of absence for vacation purposes. Is a big bay gelding, a pet of the stablemen, and his name Is "Charlie." As Charlie could not write Ills name lo his application for leave the stable boss put the application under his right forefoot In such manner that a mark of a portion of the horse's shoe was Impr-ssed on the paper and then he signed his name uttestlng thai to be Charlie's mark. Charlie will take his vacation on a large rarm over In "Old Virginia" and for thirty days will have nothing to do but eat and frolic In the extensive fields. He will not even have to worry about his board bill, as his Uncle Sam will attend to that portion of th.j outing. Other horses of the depart mem will be similarly furloughed for rest and recreation during the summer as rapidly ss they can be spared, and that will be at a pretty rapid pace as the summer dullness which Is now upon Washington Includes man and beast. Democratic Purity. Political purity, which Is to be the battle cry of the democrats In the coming cam paign, mill have a decided Jolt when the records are pulled upon that party. Poltl cal purity, so far as democracy la con cerned, has Its limitations, as will be shown in the next four months by tables pre pared by the republican national committee. In point of fact, the democrats have the largest amount of nerve when they claim that their party Is the only pure party of the republic. Taking the states of Ala bama, Arkansas, Florida. Georgia, Louis iana. Mississippi. Sou t; i Carolina and Texas, in the last congressional election there were polled 438.704 votes. These votes elected sixty-eight members of congress. On the other hand, one state Iowa polled ,103 votes and elected eleven members of cor gress. Not a district In Iowa polled less votes than the states of Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, or South Carolina. Alabama, Arkansas and Texas are the three states In the above list which polled more votes (Continued on Second Page.). j. STATE MEETING AT MITCHELL Congressional SneeeMlnn Draws Lartte Crowd to Kormnl esaian of Republicans. MITCHELL, B: D., July 12.-(Ppecial.)-Governor Crawford and Lieutenant Gov ernor Shober were the first to get to Mitch ell for the republican stste convention, which meets In this city next Tuesday. Both slate officers came to town late In the evening. Many of the other leaders reached the city Sunday afternoon and morning. The supposition ws that Mitchell would have the big convention of the year, but mat was before the primary law was un derstood, for many had the Idea that tho July convention would have something to do with the nomination of a state ticket. As the primary law became more fully understood it was St once recognized that the duties of the July convention would be more or less perfunctory merely to en dorse the nominations made in the July pri mary. Hut for the fact that Colonel Parker died a short time ago and left a vacancy to be filled In congress It Is doubtful if a full representation of nU the counties would be here. That action will be taken at this con vention looking to the filling of the va cancy there I. no question. Under the pres ent circumstances the Indications point very strongly to the fact that E. W. Martin will receive the endorsement of the repub licans. He hails from the western portion of the state, where Colonel Parker resided, and on that ground alone he is entitled to the recognition. But It 1. on other and more Important grounds that Mr. Martin will doubtless be chosen that of harmony be tween the two factions. It seems to be a pretty well settled opinion that If the In surgents yield to the endorsement of Mr. Martin there will be less likelihood of any trouble at the November election, and It Is believed that the Insurgents can well af ford to make the concession. The friends of Wilbur S. Glass. It Is re ported, are not to be mollified so easily. The rumor Is gaining ground from his friends' territory that Mr. Glass should bo permitted to fill out the remainder of the Parker term In congress, notwithstanding; the fact that he was defeated at the June primary. That portion of the insurgents beHevcs that to the victor beljr.gs the spoil., but It Is not conceded to be the consensus of opinion of the reol leaders In the In surgent wing. They realize that the stal warts must be recokoned with In the suc cess of the party In November, and that too great a defection from the ranks might de feat the success at the primary. There Is no threatened revolt among the stalwarts, but they are waiting for the Insurgents to make the move which will tend to cement the factions at the polls in November. The Insurgents will control the convention by a sufficiently large working majority as to carry out any proposition they desire, if they stand together. The three additional planks to the plat form are practically agreed upon In the state interest fund being adjusted so that the treasurer will be required to turn the Interest Into the treasury, the physical val uation of railroads and the guaranteeing of state bank deposits. These planks will un doubtedly be inserted re the platform. The convention w called to order at noon Tuesday and It will be held In the city hall, which is being handsomely decor a ted.

SAY JIM IS TO BE CHAIRMAN Could Be Governor, but Prefers to Help Bryan net Presidency hy Accepting- Head of Na tional Committee. Tired, sleepy and hoarse but huppy and (hock full of enthusiasm, the Dahlman dimocracy retuined Sunday morning from Denver. The train of five coaches ru led :n ut 7:3", but every Jim went horns and to bed and the first one to show his face was Tom O'Connor, secretary of tho cl'.ib. end he did not come to l!fe until evening. George Rogers, one of the delegates, and a few others were seen during the evening, but most of the Dahlman boosters remairei at h. me to rest up from their weik's if fort. "Wo had the biggest time that ever was; just like having loo c rcuses all rolUd Into cne, a fcrand Fourth of July celebration Irotn beginning to end In which the Dahl man democracy was the cannon fire cracker," said T. J. O'Connor, sneaking In such a low, hoarse whisper that he could r.utdly be heard. "We wtre the people out at Denver and wo were respected as such, and don't you f.rgft It. The Jacks were simply nil. and the Jims were the whole thing. If six; ecu Jacks lift on the train for Denver not more than six showed up, and Ed Herry man and Bob Aitchlson were the only ones who had the nerve to wear their badges. They had no more tickets than a bunny rabbit and they ciawled on their kr.ees with tears In their eyes to us begging for tick ets. We magnanimously let nil the Jacks In to the convention hail. "Before the convention opened It became nolSvd about that a Dahlman badge would be equivalent to an admission ticket, ar.d we could have sold a thousand badges if we had hsd them. And it was true, too, that the Jim badges would admit the wearer, as we already had two doorkeepers and appointed a third, R, U. Woife, after we gut there. Rowden Got His, "Dave Rowden surely soured his milk. We saw Dave at Colorado Springs, but the word was passed along the line to 'cut' him, and we all passed him by with a stony stare and not a man spoke to the head Janitor. "The feature of the convention was the purado of the Dahlman democracy, and it oveishadowed the Cook County Marching club and the Tammany parades by far. We had over W0 men In line and the line was four blocks long. We carried our umbrellas and cut a great swath. " 'Where Is this Dahlman town?' people asked on every side, and the mayor was the lion of the hour. He was constantly being pointed out and people looked at him with awe and admiration. . There is no getting around the fact that Dahlman wa3 tbe big noiso at Denver and everyone at the convention learned that the mayor of Omaha Is a candidate for' governor of Nebraska." Delegate George Rogers came In on the Jim special with the Information that the mayor will In all probability accept the chairmanship of the national committee. Saye Dahlman Will Be Chairman. "The mayor could be nominated for gov ernor hands down, but It looks as If he would take the chairmanship, as Ip that capacity he could doubtless be of more benefit to the party," said Mr. Rogers. "We hod a big time at the convention and all along the route, receptions being given us at a number of points. North Platto outdid Itself In cheering the Daiil man democracy and we were forced to be lieve that we were somebody. L J. liattl was our orator, and If you think I am hoorse, Just talk to him. Every time he turned around hS had a new speech to de liver, and he spoke at every town where the train stopped. "All the paraphernalia used to decorate the Nebraska headquarters In tho Brown Palace hotel In Denver was captured by our club and will be Installed In our club rooms. "If anyone thinks that Jim Dahlman Is not a popular man he ought to take a trip like the ono we took, and he would be disillusioned mighty quick. You have no Idea how tho people would tumble over themselves Just to get a look at him, and he certainly had as much to say about the convention as anyone there." Mr. Dahlman was to leave Denver Sun day evening for Lincoln, where the na tional committee has a conference tomor row with Mr. Bryan. Ig. Dunn, the Jack who wore a Jim badge when ho made the nominating speech, was also to leave on the same train last evening. The mayor at last reports had not decided whether to take the chairmanship of the national com mittee or to run for governor. MURDER AT HOT SPRINGS, ARK. R. G.
