Sir Charles Eliot, is an Interview which he accorded me today, maintained the position he baa taken up that It la unjust and impolitic to give the East African Syndicate large grants of land on the terms sanctioned by the Foreign Office while refusing such granu to private applicants. The Foreign Office, he asserted, had made his position here Intolerable. He tendered his resignation when he first refused to sign the deeds of the syndicate. He so acted although he had personally no prejudice against the syndicate. At the beginning of the year he waa Instructed to sign the syndicates papers. At that time numbers of desirable pioneer settlers were coming into the country. Following the exam-ple- a of Mr. Chamberlain and of M r. Flemmer, of Johannesburg, he arranged hard and fast leases with them, which absolutely precluded any possibility of land speculation, and at the same time ensured the settlement of the farmers on the land. Sir Charles telegraphed to the Foreign Office not to reserve the land along the line from Lake Nalvsshs to Mau. The Foreign Office refused to ratify the lease he had granted to private applicants while Instructing him to sign tbs syndicates contract. The syndicate get 500 square miles on condition that they establish five farms of 5.000 acres each within seven years. They do no pioneering work, but sit at home until others have made their grounds valuable. They will then sell them. Sir Charles, who has sacrificed his career In East Africs, will probably make some startling statements at the banquet which la to be given In his honor this evening. The aettlerae sympathize with him. BOT'S BODY IS RECOVERED. Phllilpsburg, Mont, July 26.

The National Democratic committee met here today and unanimously elected Thomas Taggart of Indiana, chairman. Ury Wood-so- n of Kentnrky, was elected secretary of the committee by a vote of 35 to 12, the selection- - subsequently being made unanimous. Edwin Seflon of the District of Columbia, was elected Assistant Secretary. John I. Martin of Missouri, was elected sergeant at arms and Samuel Donel-so- n of Tennessee assistant seargeant at arms. The effort made last night to Induce Senator Gorman to take the chairmanship of the Democratic national committee was continued today. Leaders began their conferences early. Thomas F. Ryan, who was a delegate to the St. Louis convention from Virginia, but who la a New York business man, waa one of tbe first callers upon Senator Gorman, but several others followed him. Soon afterward the Senator left the hotel and It Is understood met some of the city men who desired to lay before him tbe reasons lfhy ha should become the bead of the committee. It was said a number of business men were willing to guarantee the raising of a good sized campaign fund if Mr. Gorman could be prevailed upon to act as chairman. Friends of Thomas Taggart said they were not in the least disturbed by the efforts to bring oat Gorman. John W. Kern, who has had charge of the Taggart Interest a. aald an attempt to elect Gorman now would result in hla defeat, as the Taggart men hsd the votes to elect the Indiana man and would certainly elect him. Mr. Kern added that no verbal assurances that .)'idga Parker wauled some man other than Taggart for chairman would go with them, as they hsd verbal assurances that Parker would not Interfere or attempt to die-t- a to the committee. There were busy scenes today around the rooms occupied by Former Senator Hill.

Neither of these contlngfurlen arose, and the Indiana man waa unanimously chosen to a place for which he king has had aa-plrationa. Although the vote was unanimous It waa not until after It was actually la progress that opposition to Mr, Taggart's selection was withdrawn. Beginning with the return of Senator flormanT former Senator Hill, Former Senator Jones and other Draiocratia leaders from Ksopua last evening and lasting np to the moment when the committee waa railed to order, today the strongest possible efforts was made to bring Senator Gorman Into - the field or arrange a combination that would place tome one beside Taggart at tbo head of the committee. Almost continuous conferences were held, in- tlmatlona of great financial advantages to the party were made, and many expedient were suggested, even to delaying the eleetkm until after the committee's visit to Judge Isrker tomorrow, In order to defeat Taggart. Bnt nothing could change the determination of hla friends to force an election today and to compel a show of strength. Falling to ik cure the necessary conditions to defeat Taggart, the opposition yielded, and tbe proceedings of the committee were brief and harmonious. The contest for the other offices created only a alight diversion, and differences regarding them, which have been somewhat spirited for a few days put, were easily adjusted. The most Important action of the committee, aside from the eelcetlon of a chairman, was that of arranging for a committee or rommltTcee to manage the campaign. A proposition submitted by William F. Sheehan, slightly modified, upon the suggestion of Hen-- al or Bailey, wps adopted. Aa agreed to It provides: "That the chair be authorized to appoint not to exceed two vice chairmen; an executive committee of not ion than five nir more than seven member: a finance committee of not less than three nor more than five members There is a proiKwitlnn fur Increasing the size of the executive committee if found advisable.
