RESOLUTIONS
ON CLEVELAND
ONLY A RUSE
Continued From Page One.
honor of Mr. Cleveland, and the one pre-
pared by Judge Parker seems to me to
be entirely proper to fill tli • bill."
At the Gray headquarters Josiah Mar-
vel .•-••Mil that Mr. Cleveland was a world
character and that his memory should
be paid the highest possible tribute. Me
had not read the Parker resolution, and
he said that the wisdom of adopting it
had not been called to his attention.
Aft"r reading the resolution with great
rare Mr. Marvel said he thought it open
to criticism and that a resolution which
did not rake up issues over which there
hud been or was likely to be bitterness
would answer the purpose far better and
be eminently more just to the record of
Mr. Cleveland.
Johnson Boom Grows.
More emphatic than all these men was
Judge Wade of Iowa. Me said that «-verv
proposition in the Cleveland resolution
which might give rise to controversy
should be pulled out by the roots. Con-
tinuing he said: "Jf the friends and the
enemies of Mr. Bryan threaten to dispute
over this question, then the friends of
Mr. Cleveland will insist that there shall
be no party quarrels In paying to his
memory the respect which his honorable
service to the party deserves.
"We still feel the utmost confidence in
the outcome of our campaign and our
twenty-four hours in Denver, instead of
weakening, has strengthened our assur-
ance," remarked Mr. Lynch, who has
charge of Governor Johnson's candidacy
for the Presidency. Asked for an ex-
planation he replied that he had been
given much encouragment from leaders
on the ground and from others 011 the
way here.
"I have received a number of telegrams
today of a most encouraging nature." he
said. "One comes from members of the
New York delegation, saying, 'Don't give
up the fight: it is impossible for Bryan
to be nominated 011 the first ballot '
Others of similar import have come from
members of the Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Masachusetts and other delegations. If
Bryan is not nominated on the first bal-
lot, which will not happen, his defeat is
certain."
Seats Cause Worry.
Judge Gray's friends also contend that
Bryan's nomination on the first ballot is
quite out of tho question, and say that if
th* Nebraskan can be kept down until
the second or third vote the nomination
is likely to go to one man as another,
and that Judge Gray's chances will he
equal to the best.
Chairmen of State delegations who are
in the city, and especially those from
nearby Western States, is deeply wor-
ried over the situation as regards the
seating arrangements in the auditorium
or convention hall. The seating capacity
in considerably less than was estimated
and the number of tickets allotted from
each delegation has been severely cut
down. i

is the act of shameless hypocrisy. Nor

perpetuation of the Belmont-Ryan com-

LISBON, July 2.—Dr. Jose Maria do
Alpiom, chief of the progressive dissi-
dents, smarting under the insinuations
that he was implicated in the assassina-
tions last February of King Carlos and
Crown Prince Luise, created a sensation
in the House of Lords today by revealing
what ho declared to be the true history
of this regicide plot. He asserted that
the assassinations had been decided upon
at a meeting of the leaders of the pro-
gressive party before they were carried
out. A number of Republicans also were
present at this meeting. Dr. Alpiom
charged further that the Republicans
proposed to obliterate the entire royal
family with the exception of Maria Pia,
the mother of King Carlos, but that the
monarchists insisted that such a general
slaughter would be useless. Finally,
Manuel Silvia Buissa and Alfred Costa
were given $20,000 and $10,000, respectively,
to kill King Carlos and Premier Franco.
Arrangements were made by other men
to cover the flight of tne assassins, but
when Buissa and Costa fired their
friends lost their heads and opened fire
also. These shots resulted in the death
of the Crown Prince.
TRAVEL IN EAST AFRICA.
Absence of Railroads Makes it Ardu*
ous as Well as Expensive.
Mr. Dernburg, the German Minister of
Colonies, recently returned from German
East Africa with a quiverful of argu-
ments which he. has vigorously dispensed
in behalf of an energetic policy of rail-
road development in that colony. He
gave a particiularly impressive view of
the cost of caravan service in tropical
Africa, but failed to add that the ex-
pense, in his case, was accentuated by
the fact that he traveled in state to im-
press the natives with the dignity of a
high German official.
He had occasion to march through a
perfectly wild country from Muanza, 011
the east coast of Victoria, southward to
Tabora on the well beaten caravan route
to the coast. There were sixteen white
men in the party. Two hundred and sev-
enty poriers were required to carry their
personal effects and collections and food,
and potable water for tho entire expedi-
tion.
Thero were also thirty-two servants,
sixteen grooms in charge of the saddle
animals, forty cooks and their aids, fifty
asklras as a military escort, and enough
other persons to bring the total personnel
up ot 600. The cost to the German Gov-
ernment of this immense procession
was L'i.000 marks, including tho expense
of sending all the blacks back to their
starting point.
The distance traveled both ways was
equal to that between Berlin and Munich.
Mr. Dernburg argued that as he and his
fifteen white .associates could travel by
rail first-class between Berlin And
Munich for 1000 marks, allowing for the
extra cost of rail transportation in tropi-
cal Africa, their journey by caravan was
at least nineteen times as expensive as it
would have been if they might have
boarded a train at Muanza and debarked
at Tabora.
Mr. Dernburg's campaign has been so
effective that the Reichstag lias voted a
really liberal allowance for the extension
of thA two short lines now stretching into
•he interior. One of them is pointing to-
ward 'tabora, and its ultimate destina-
tion is Muanza. overlooking the grout
