Bulletin.
Alliance, Neb., June IS. (Special
Telegram.) Word was received from
Roy Bechwith and wife, who were on
the steamer Bear en route from Port
land to San Francisco, that they were
safe. Mr. Beckwith 's the proprietor
of a clothing store here.
Eureka, Cal, June IS. Forty-two
of the passengers and crew of the
steamer Bear were unaccounted for
tonight, in a careful tally, made near
ly twenty-four hours after a fog
coaxed the Bear cm to the rocks of
the Mendocino coast, northern Cali
fornia. Officials of the company expressed
nope that the death list would be
limited tt the five bodies recovered
by sundown. At that time there were
134 survivors here and twenty-nine
at Capetown, thirty miles to the
south. These, with the five known
dead, accounted for 168 of th .'10
souls aboard the Bear when h
ftruck. Lies High on Beach.
The steamer, a $1,000,000 coast
wise boat, lies high on a rock beach
nri ougar J-oar reet swinging in
the long swells. Her captain, Louis
Nopander, and three members of the
crew, stayed aboard until late to
day. Finally they threw the ship's
uvciuuaru witn a ngnt line, but
he could not make the shore. A line
fired from the ship's cannon reached,
and, a raft was rigged which carried
them ashore.
Fourteen life boats got away from
the Bear in good order. Eleven
made land at the mouth of Bear riv
er, near the wreck and one capsized
and was lost.
Fog and a strong current were the
only reasons given by the ship's
officers for the tragedy.
Among the passengers were Roy
Beckwith aud wife of Alliance, Neb.
Eureka, Cal., June IS. One hun
dred and thirty-cne survivors from
the wrecked steamer Bear were
landed hero today irora- the steamer
Grace Dollar and the, tug Relief.
Twenty-nine other-survivors are at
Capetown. Four are still on the
Bear. ; Five persons are known to be
dead. This makes 169 of 212 'souls
known to havi been aboard the
vessel, s
The first boat awav from the wr!.
of the Bear upset and almost surjjy
all of the thirty persons in it
were drowned, according to Miss
Vera Adams of Seattle, a survivor.
Miss Adams was in the third boat,
which also upset. (Most of the
cnirty occupants ot her boat were
vescued.
Miss Adams, who was among those
landed at Capetown, told this story:
"The Bear struck with a shock like
an earthquake and then began to vi
brate like a long pendulum, rolling
in the swell; A mile away we could
see the surf leaping on the rocks.
Passengers crowded on deck, but
there was no great excitement. Some
of the women and children were cry
ing. "Ten boats were put over the side,
but none of them left the Bear -until
two hours after we struck. Women
and children were put into the "boats
tirst. The Seas caught the first life
boat and swung it under the stern of
the Bear, but the oars took hold and
it got away. It was half a mile away
when the waves caught it in a sudden
Hurry. A moment later we saw it
upside down and all the thirty or
more passengers floundering in the
- water, I am sure not one was
laved.
"We clung to the sides of the boat.

Telegram.) The second keynoter of
the most orderly and sedate national
convention of an untcrrified democ
racy, Senator Ollie James of Ken
tucky, worked the first real, spontan
eous outburst of applause today in
nis speech as permanent chairman
when he said with reference to the
president, "Without orphaning a sin
!.. A : , , ... 7. .
.-.Hcuidii ciuia, witnout widowing
a single American mother, without
firing a single gun, without the shed
ding of a single drop of blood, he
wrung from the most militant spirit
that ever brooded above a battlefield
an acknowledgment of "American
rights, an agreement to American de
mands. Made Him Say It Over.
The delegates and the galleries
were a unit in spitting their hands
and thoats when "Big Ollie" had to
repeat the phrase for the edification
of some of the delegates whose hear
ing is defective.
There is r;o gain saying the fact
that the convention had been put in
a proper frame of mind by Governor
Glynn in his keynote speech of yes
terday, to hear the well rounded,
ponderous oratorical periods of the
staesman from the Blue Grass
country of 'Old Kentuck." Very
reminiscent of the orator of a gener
ation ago, Senator James was the
embodiment of the convention spirit,
and he used all the arts of which he
is a master in working on the pas
sions, prejudices and sentiment of
the delegates and spectators.
. ' Clamor for Bryan.
The demonstration aroused by
James' speech was continued for
twenty minutes, ana men oy some
species of ledgermain it was switched
from Senator James and his fine
words to Colonel W. J. Bryan,
shouts for "Bryan I Bryan!" rending
the air. And it would have continued
indefinitely, in all probability, had not
the permanent chairman assured the
convention that Colonel Bryan would
be wen achanceTo'attttfWg the con
vention later. Reluctantly the crowd
subsided. Mr. Bryan had departed
from the Coliseum after the demon
stration over James' speech was well
under way. Mr. Btyan had an en
gagement at the City club for lunch
eon, where he was expected to make
a speech. And he did make a speech,
wincn is in nowise surprising, as
Colonel Bryan has been dnino- that
self-same thing for thirty-odd years,
whereby he has added much sheckels
to his strong box. He grew remin
iscent with the city dubites, and told
them that he had attended his first
political convention forty years ago
in St. Louis. Also, he came there
as a reporter, which he said, was his
present occupation.
Blames the Brewers.
His failure to be' named on the Ne
braska delegation, he told his hear
ers, was caused by the saloon keepers
of the state, who awntcd to keep him
out of the convention, while he sought
to keep them out of the saloons, and
both were successful. '
Mr. Bryan is not the pathetic figure
at this convention s. me -people would
make you believe. He still has a large
following of enthusiastic worshipers.
He is still to them their Moses, grown
a little bald, with the bridge of hair
at the back of his head graying rap
idly, with his figure taking on embon
point, but he is still their Moses, if a
little elderly. When William Jennings
Bryan entered the press section at
11:30 today he was given a warm re
ception. He smiled the old Bryan
smile in return and bowed again and
again in response to the cheers. A
number of the delegates moved up to
the press enclosure and shook hands
with him.
Thirteen Women There.
There are thirteen women dele
gates. Eight of them, when asked
abou ftheir occupations, said they
were "wives," four replied that they
were real estate operators, and one
said she is a farmer.
The editors in the various delega
tions come from twenty-five states.
The doctors are from seventeen
states nd Missouri leads with six
men of this profession in its delega
tion. Four of the five miners in the con
vention are from Alaska. Of the
twenty delegates who said they had
no business, eighteen are from the
state of Washington. There are nn
saloonkeepers in the convention.
nine United Mates senators and six
congressmen are delegates and there
are about thirty federal job horse
in the delegations setting tight on the
lid.
Want to Make Time.
The determination of the leaders
to speed up the nominations was re

PURSUIT OF BANDITS BEGINS
Laredo, Tex., June 15. Three
American soldiers are dead and six
arc wounded as a result of the latest
raid on American territory by Mexi
cans coming from the southern side
of the Rio Grande today. No civilians
were injured, as the raid was primar
ily an attack 011 the border patrol at
the little settlement of San Ignacio,
forty miles southeast of Laredo.
Although successful in a measure,
the raid was not wholly surprising
to the American guard, which in
larger number than the Mexicans exr
pectcd to find, saw in the bright
moonlight the approach of the 100
or more bandits to the rear of where
troop M of the Fourteenth cavalry
was encamped, and where troop 1
was but a short distance away. Both
were under command of Major
Alonzo Gray.
Eight Are Killed.
The Mexican toll was last reported
as eight killed, t. number wounded
and several captured. In addition,
torty-two horses, once Mexican
mounts, were cantured. One Mexi
can who surrendered said, according
to those who made him captive, that
he was torced into the raid and that
his sentiments were not anti-American.
'
The Mexicans ' expected to find
only a small detachment of Ameri
can troops at that point, according
to the prisoners. 1 hey had planned
with their 1 100 or more men to com
pletely overpower the border guard.
They attacked troop M, nceamped
near the town, firing the first shot
at the sentry. At he tsound of the
firing troop I, a few hundred yards
up ther iver, rushed to the former
troop's aid, and after firing had lasted
one-half hour, the Mexicans treated
to the south, along the American
side of the Rio Grande, with the
Americans in pursuit.
Wore Carranza Uniform.
Stui Antonio, Tex., June 15. In the

body was recovered after the San Ig
nacio fight, papers were found indi
cating that the man was an officer in
the Carranza army, according to a
late report from General Mann. . The
total number of Mexican dead is
now placed at eight, the American
dead three and the woundcV six.
The papers found on the dead ban
dit indicated that he was Major Cruz
Ruis. Doubt as to "the identity of
the organization was cleaned by the
story of Vicente Lira of San An
tonio, who appeared in the American
camp after the fight. Lira was a
prisoner of the bandits. He escaped
during tiie tiglit.
Belong to La Rosa's Band.
According to Lira's story, the ban
dits arc members of Luis De La
Rosa's organization and acted under
his orders. He said they left La
Janta, a few miles south of Laredo,
Monday night, and moved steadily
forward with nothing to eat for forty-eight
hours, reaching a point al

Within an hour they crossed the river

Prosecution Makes
Two More Points
AgainstjV. H. Orpet
Waukegan, III., June 15. The
tracks made in the snow of Helm's
woods were still the subject of
minute examination today at the trial
of William H. Orpet, charged with
the murder of Marion Lambert.
Fred Wenben, the undertaker who
removed Marion's body from the
woods, testified that the tracks made
in the snow by Marion and Orpet
were "old tracks? Hhe said they were
a day older than those made by Will
iam. Marshall and Frank Lambert
when they found the body.
Wenban said that he examined the
old foot prints carefully. The small
ones and the larger ones led into the
woods to the cluster of three oak
trees where Marion's body was
found. The larger ones went away
along to a marshy spot overgrown by
weeds. From the weeds, the witness
Said, they returned to a spot where
there were four oaks, then they de
scribed a semi-circle to the spot where
the body was found.
The witness spoke of noticing a
stain in the snpw similar to the yel
low white stain on Marion's face and
right hand. It was in the path made
by the man leaving the body, it was
said. This point has been regarded
as imnortant by the state as support
ing its theory that Marion's com
panion carried the remainder of the
poison from which she died away with
him. The undertaker made another
point for the state, which holds that
the cyanide of potassium which
caused the girl's death, was taken in
liquid form.

RETAINS THE VITAL CLAUSE
Bulletin.
St. Louis, Mo., June 15 Governor
Morehead has withdrawn as a candi
date for vice president ' i .
St. Louis, June 15. The American
ism or hypen plank as accepted by
the subcommittee is in practically the
same shape as drafted by the presi
dent. The plank retains the clause
calling upon all other political par
ties to repudiate the support of all
foreigners living here who conspire
to promote the interests of their own ,
governments at th expense of the
American government.
St. Louis, June 15. Senator Wil-
liam J. Stone, chairman of the resolu
tions committee, this afternoon post

three-hour session today members of
the democratic convention subcom
mittee on resolutions, which is draft
ing the platform, announced that a
tentative draft probably will be com
pleted late today for consideration by
the entire committee. Representative
Raincy of Illinois, a member of the
subcommittee, said the tentative
draft would contain a woman suffrage
plank at least as strong as that con
tained in the republican platform,
and expressing the belief of the demo
cratic party that women should be en
franchised. ,
When the subcommittee took up
the president's suggestion for a plank
condemning organizations of foreign
born citizens for attempts to influ
ence international and domestic polic
ies, a fight developed that threatened
to lengthen its sessisons. Some mem
bers were said to be strongly opposed
to such a plank. ..w. j,
Chairman, Stone' said after the com
mittee had been in sesssion more than
four hours, that it probably would
not be able, as originally planned, to
complete a tentative draft before to
night. , , .. ' v ; .
After some .discussion of the pro
