G tho platform and the outlook In part as follows: "No action of democracy's representatives assembled In tho late convention can bo construed In anv other way than as an acknowledgment of tho establishment of the gold standard, and a willing pledge to its maintenance. ? "This condition should of itself be ? sufficient to so fill our measure of sat- s isfaction as to cause us to forget any a fears or trepidation that may hava vexed us during the days just passed< "I do not overlook tho fact that tw<i clear and unimpeached verdicts of the C people stand recorded in favor of thq F gold standard, and that its perpetuity a has be?n secured by federal enactJ w ment; but 1 insist that, in refusing id a indulge in any further free silver of c double standard vagaries, the conveen tlcm did not, on account of existing e conditions, make a virtivj of necessity, k but that it voiced instead an actual o and wholesome change in sentiment i> among the file of democracy. tl "Herein la found abundantly suffl- ]i cient cause for gratitude and congral- < illation on the part of all Ihose who b love true democracy, r want to go ti further than this, and to express a t reverent belief that certain convon* s tlon uiterances apparently untoward o have worked together for democracy's good, an.1 that a happy outlook has i< been reached through a leader, wiser t and more certain than the wit of man s could have devised. li "Senator Tillman and I have oceas* f lonally differed, but I hope he will ! a 'nko no offense if I applaud and glvo | t nearly concurrence to his expression j j; of belief that 'providenco has taken j c kindly hold on our affairs.'

Uncle Sam is Taking Precautionary Measures. A Loudon special sayn: In British fllcial circles the recent seizures and verhauling of Britikh ships in tho led sea by the Russian volunteer fleet teamers Smolensk and St. Potersburs re regarded as very grave Internalonal incidents. The aelzure of the Peninsula and Oriental steamer Malacca by tho St. 'etersburg and her arrival in tho luez canal ns a prize of war on her 'ay to Libau, on the Baltic, has coma 3 u, ciiiiiUA iiiiu ttiuiuut is nww onsidering the course to pursue. Tho British law officers acknowldgo the right of the Russians to seize nd detain mails provided that only lllcial communications aro taken, ut they take the most serious view of he status of the two Russian ships strolling the Red sea, and if any oiMial action or protest ensues it will e chiefly in regard to the passage of hose erstwhile merchant ships hrough the Dardanelles and their ubsequent transformation into ships f war. In official circles strong comment s made in regard to Russia's policy in his matter. It is regarded as imposiblo that the commanders of the Smolensk and St. Petersburg were given nil power, and tho officials thorefoio re Inclined to tho grave conclusion hat tho Russian government gave 1miliclt instructions to the two com iianders. The effect on the stock oxhange Tuesday was seen in a hea\y all in consols and other gilt-edged se;uritieg. on fears of international comillcatlons. The dangers and dlfflculies of the situation are much comitented upon in the newspapers, which ro practically unanimous in .lenouncng tho "dubious and irregular charcter" of tho volunteer tle.;t vessels. Another element adding to the dan;ers of tho situation is the attitudo apan may assume. The Pall Mali razetto points out that if, as stated n a dispatch from Constantinople, the tuss'lan guardship Chernomoretz travirsed the straits fully armed, "it would eem to justify Japan as regarding Turkey as an ally of Russia, and inoking the terms of the Anglo-Japan>se treaty." To Protect American Ships. A Washington special says: With k view to being fully prepared for any :ontingeney that may arise in connecIon with the passage of any American essel through the Red soa the state [epartmcnt has began an exhaustive tudy of all the precedents since tho Crimean war, in regard to the stop>age of neutral j-'hipa by belligerents ind the exercise of tho right, of search. All the information possible respectng the present actions of tho Russian olunteer cruisers in the Re.l sea is joins gathered. Tho United States lag la seldom seen In that quarter oxrpt 011 a government vessel passing o aiul from the Philippines, and of :ourse thero will ho no interferenco vith such craft by either belligerent. The state department ha-> taken 'ery broad ground respecting the exmiption of neutral shipping from anloylng Interference as markedly iliown in tho proclamation of I'resilent McKiniey at tho beginning of tho Spanish war. Tho general contention vas that a neutral nag covers neural goods, and whilo it is admitted iere that it is not yet a universally ac:eptod tenet of international law, it s held that it. should bo such and tho tate department, has lost no opporunity to bring that to pass. But aside from tho question of conraband goods and neutral ships, tho >fflcials In Washington feel that tho iction of tho Russian ships' in oonnecion with tho mails is tho gravest isuo now presented.

FOLK FOR GOVERNOR. - * Mlcaourl Democrats In Convention Name Fear|e?8 Prosecutor of Boodlers for Governor. After an all niglit session, marked' i by intervals of disorder and commol ] tion that could not be quelled by the, gavel, -.he Missouri Democratic stata [ convention, in session at Jefferson J City, early Thursday morning unanimously nominated Joseph W. Folk* circuit attorney of <3t. I>ouis, for governor and adopted a platform which promises to be a vigorous, uurolentlng crusade against corruption and boodld In Missouri, in tho event of democratic supremacy at the polls. Just aa day was breaking the convention adjourned until 10 o'clock and one of tho moat turbulent sessions of a Mis souri democratic convention ended. There was no douot about the nonii' nation from the beginning of the first session of tho convention. In accepting tho nomination, Mr. 1 Folk said in part: < "This campaign has been waged, not for a man, but for an i.lea. it' youri selection shall be ratified by the peo- | pie of the state, I shall do my very ! best and carry out the policies for j which the masses of the democratic | party has been contending. The ex- j posures of corruption in Missouri has mime me people realize the menace to good government if it is tolerated an<l the necessity of stamping out the inluience of corruptionists from our political life. "There is work to be done in this state in moral, material and intellectual advancement which you have commissioned me to do. The commission is a sacred one, and I shall observe it as such. Here in your presence anil in the presence of this great, multi-j tu.lo I consecrate myself to the work you have assigned to me and with your help and is long as God give;* me life and strength to do it, I w'll combat the tilings that dishonor and j oppress."

'Jo is a graduate of Vanderbilt university, or iNasuvnio, Tonn., wliero ho finished his literary and legal education. The platform was adopted by a osounding a viva voce vote after a qniblile over the proiio.se 1 amendment to insert a plank for legislation to punish tax dodgers, which was Introduced as a minority report an 1 defeated. The I report of the commit too on resoluj tions, after affirming and ratifying ! the platform adopted bv the Demo cratic national convention at St. I<ouis July S, 1904, declared in favor of the initiative ami referendum, the staco primary, protection alfke of capital and labor, sancitiy of the ballot, good roads, homo rule and urged the strict, enforcement of the constitutional provision and statutory enactment, pro* liihiting the aeceptai ce by public otllcials of free railroad transportation. United States Senator Francis M. Cockrell was heartily indorsed for reelection. On the subject of bribery, the eradication of which is pointed out as the paramount Issue of the democratic party in Missouri, the platform I says: I "The appalling exposures of eorrup| tion in Missouri liavo brought upo* | tho good citizens of this state tho re| sponslblity of stamping out the things | that dishonor and oppress. Good citizens may innocently do wrong, but toleration of known abuses is criminal, i No party can be hurt by getting rid of rascals. No state can he injured by the enforcement of law. The disgrace is in toleration, not in corruption. There can be 110 grander mission in store mm any political party than to light public evils." Population of Windy City.
