Louis, July 9.-The Democratic national convention , met today- listen? ed to an extended" speech from Rep? r?sentative John Sharp Wilhams, its temporary chairman, appointed the committeW necessary to perfect per? manent organization and adjourned. In a session lasting ? hours and 50 minutes, one striking incident over? shadowed ali other procedings. That was the enthusiastic and - prolonged cheering which greeted the name of Grover Cleveland. While the outburst which greeted th? name of the former Democratic president before its last syllable had fallen from the lips of tho temporary chairman was note worthy in itself, it?ras magnified by contrast with the greeting accorded the actual persons of men who stood for all that has been opposed to Mr. Cleveland within the party during ?be last eight years. -, James K. tJones^f Arkansas, .chairman of the national committee, went on the piaf erm and took his seat unnoticed. Practically no greeting was given him whoa he faced the eonvenion with gavel ia h andr Other stalwart lieutenants of the Nebraskan entered the hall unacclaim ed and lastly Mr. Bryan himself, who, for the first time during two national campaigns, was greeted with silence. Sight minutes after the gavel fell, the twice named candidate of his party pass?d in the main entrance and sought his - seat unheralded and un-! heeded. A. few minutes later he ? arose and pushed his way to a seat nearer the aisle, where standing a moment to give greeting to friends, he was caught sight pf and applaud? ed. But the measure of applause was bat a [ripple when compared to the storm called forth bf the mention of Cleveland's name. | THE DOCTRINE t)F WILLIAMS. Listening attentively to the doctrine laid down by Mr. Williams, the con? servatives found occasion for their first demonstration when reference was made to the record of former Presi? dent Grover Cleveland. All the shackled party interests which had laid dormant through two national campaigns was released as by the touch of a trigger. The name of Cleve? land was echoed from a thousand throats, fiats, handkerchiefs and arms were waived, delegates and spectators stood on their chairs and the last semblance of order was turn? ed into confusion which convention ofScials weie powerless to subdue. While the outburst was at its height Mr. Bryan's following attempted to convert the demonstration into ap? plause for their leader. The name of Bryan was yelled lustily but in vain. Shouting of "Grover" and "Cleve? land," was renewed and the Bryan following was hissed. The greatest significance was attached to the show . ing made by the conservatives. Their absolute control of the convention is no longer doubted even by those who cave heretofore declined to be con? vinced. The nomination of Judge Parker for president is assured beyond any possibility of defeat An incident to the d?monstration was au altercation between Sergeant at-?rms John L Martin and an over zalous man who was giving vent to his enthusiasm in a manner which convention officials deemed offensive. Little political scheming was in progress on the floor of the convention hal!. The anti-Parker delegates were so much in the minority that there appeared to be no basis for clever ma? nipulation. The action of Ohio late last night closely followed Pennsyl? vania's declaration for the New York jurist and the band-wagon tendencies displayed by other delegations which had been counted in the Parker ranks' had a telling effect upon the opposi? tion. Though opponents professed not to be disheartened by stories of Parker gains and continued to claim that more than one-third of the delegates had pledged themselves never to vote for Parker f?w persons could be found who % ere willing to listen to those who were backing the field against the favorite. A SHIRTSLEEVE CONVENTION. By tn? time a majority of the dele? gates had arrived at the coliseum every breath of cool outside air had been absorbed. Fans were waving vigorously in all parts of the place. Coats were not long in coming off, collars and ties were loosened and the picture was that of a shirt-sleeve con? vention. With the exception of the tinder ignited by the mention of Cleveland's" name the speech of the temporary, chairman was received practically without interruption. A few pas? sages were applauded bat that was all. The fault was not with the speed), but principally with the acoustic con? ditions in the hail. Mr. Williams had not been speaking more than five minutes before it was apparent that many persons would be unable to bear Lim. Crowding of the platform made conditions worse. The police and ushers had difficulty in maintaining passage ways in the main body of the Tbe applause which greeted Mr. Williams at the conclusion of his speech attested his popularity with the delegates. Though they had heard only a small patt of what he had said, the cheering by delegates and spectat? ors amounted to an ovation. DECLINED TILLMAN'S SUGGES? TION. Senator Tillman of South Carolina has been anxious to have the delega. I tion from that State to vote for Judge j Gray for president, buf at a meetin? today i!; was decided to cast the 18 ! votes for Parker under the unit rule. South Carolina bas been counted in the Parker column since the delegates were elected. , y * SCRAMBLE FOR TICKETS. The feature of the forenoon was tho continued scramble for tickets, which , to use the expression of a western member of the national committee was something fierce. Many delega? tions were accompanied by five timen as many friends as there are tickets; for, and a number m? people remain ec up practically all night in their effort to secure means of admission. THE EVENING SESSION. The committee on resolutions, recon? vened at 7 oclock in the evening and Senator Daniel immediately made the appointment of Edwin Sefton and J. J. Sinott as secretary and sergeant at arms respectively. He also announced the appointment of a sub-committee to prepare a platform for submission to the full committee, as follows : Messrs. Daniel, Virginia; Hil!, New York; Bryan, Nebraska; Wil? liams, Mississippi ; Pattison, Pennsyl? vania; Dubois, Idaho'; Hamlin, Mas? sachusetts; . Cable, Illinois; Poe, Maryland ; Staveley,^ Indianapolis, and Davis,. WestN Virginia. WHITE. SUPREMACY. The full committee then entered upon the consideration of the labor question in connection with a plan presented by ex-Gov. C. S. Thomas of Colorado, condemning the employ? ment of militia for banishment; of citizens br control of elections. The labor question was then tempo-, rar i ly laid aside in order to listen to a plea from Senator Tillman for a strong plank in support of the princi? ple of white supremacy in the south. He denounced the plank on th*is sub? ject in the platform submitted by Mr. ^Williams, and said: "If we are' to have a declaration at all let us have one that means something, and not a weak kneed, namby-pamby, tbiflimsy ng like that in the so-called Williams platform. ? - On account of the difficulties which have arisen ra> connection with /the various matters of a preliminary char? acter connected with the convention, a -conclusion has been reached to have only a very brief session of the conven? tion tomorrow. The convention will meet at 10 o'clock, but it is probable that none of the more important com? mittees will, be able to report at that time. ' SECOND PLACE IN DOUBT. Fer second place on the ticket it can hardly be said that " speculation tonight centres on any .one man. A half dozen names are on the tongues of the crowd that gather in the lobbies and various headquarters, but the general sentiment is that this matter should be left to ripen until ! after the head of " the ticket has been formally named. St. Louis, July 8, 2.30 p; m.-The Convention met at half past ten, this morning and called roll by states for the selection of New National Com? mitteemen. As the committee on re solutionsjaunounced that it would not be ready till eight tonght the conven? tion took a recess till thee. Bryan won several victories in the resolution committee. Had the .gold plank stricken out and the tariff plank modified to conform with the Nebraska platform and the trust plank put in demanding trusts to be subject to examination and that they should prove that they are not violat? ing'the interstate commerce law. St Louis, July 7.-The Democratic national convention today adopted the report of the committee on rales, credentials, and permanent organiza? tion. The session opened' at 10 o'clock, an hour later took a recess until 2 p. m., and adjourned at 6.20 uctil 10 -{o'clock tomorrow. Daring tbe day severa! speeches were made, chief of which was William Jennings Bryan's effort to overthrow the report of the credentials committee and seat contesting delegates from Illinois. The controversy was ended by the rejection of the minority report of the com m i tee by a vote of 647 nays to 288 ayes. Though Mr. Bryan's speech and his appearance on the floor of the con? vention was cheered far beyond any previous demonstration, it made few voies". The assignment of delegates proved the correctness of previous esti? mates of the division between those who favor the radicals and those who are supporting the conservative ele? ment which is now in control. When the result of the contest was announced the report of the committee on permanent organization was made. Representative Champ Clark, who was chosen permanent chairman, ad? dressed the convention. He had pre? pared and furnished to che press a speech of some fength. The hour was so late when be gained the platform, however, that he spoke about SOO words and left his audience to read the remainder. The ovation given Mr. Bryan was one of the greatest ever transpiring at any of the notable events for whiph the immense coliseum is famed. It was begtfn before the afternoon session of the convention had been called' to or? der and continued for 12 minutes ;wi th so much furor that Temporary Chair? man Williams and all of his assistants, including 100 policemen, were unable to restore order. Quiet came only after the Parker forces joined in and by persistent-efforts turned the tide by a great counter demonstration for the New Yorker, so that the favorite candidate for the nomination for presi? dent finally reaped tho harvest of the enthusiasm sown for Mr. Bryan. The inconsistencies of a great \ unor? ganized body, such as is formed hy the spectators, delegates and alternates making upa great political convention,; was aptly illustrated in to? day's gthering. Thousands of throats cheered Bryan as lusti-l ly as they did when he was chosen eight years ago as ( the Demo? cratic candidate for'president. Tbe great tumult to the uninitiated wou|d have been proof positive that the Nebraskan, more than ever, was the hero of his party. And yet when a banner bearing the inscription, ''Geor? gia's Parker delegation" was taken to the Tifefeform and held sloft, where all could see, the applause was directed that way. Without pausing in their enthusiasm the great throng of men and women that was shouting the name of Bryan switched to Parker, as if their only ambition was to cheer and make a noise. THE AFTERNON SESSION. ' St. Louis, July 7.-Wm. J. Bryan was given an ovation when he /entered the hall just prior to the opening of the afternoon session of the conven? tion. He was half way down the pisle when he was first recognized. There came a terrfic yell from a group of delegates in the rear of the hall and instantly it was " caught up by the crowd and the cheers rolled up in a roar. .Mr. Bryan passed slowly down the aisle picking bis through, the delegates who were massed in the aisle. He paid no attention at first to the demonstration, but quietly took his seat. A A FRANTIC PERSON. A man - climbed to the, chairman's table and began to waive bis arms up and .down, shouting unintelligibly. In a moment Mr. Williams caught sight of him and grabbing the enthu? siast's trousers hauled him down. The Parker men at once sought to offset the Bryan demonstration by cheers on their side. The metf oV the south came to the front in this effort, and the Georgia delegation, wfio carry a blue banner inscribed, "Georgia Parker delegation" every time they march into the hall, at once waved it high and started to the platform. A CAROLINA ENTHUSIAST. An enthusiastic delegate from South Carolina caught the sign of his State from its staff, tore up the steps and after brandishing the red and white disk wildly, shook it at the Bryan and Hearst men and then placed it fiat against the . blue banner as though- he was nailing the flag of bis country to a masthead. y The Parker men.came up swiftly, and before the South Carolina man had lowered his hand, the men from Arkansas, Alabama and Pennsylvania were turning over chairs * and pushing through the aisles on their way to his side. After Pennsylvania came Missis? sippi, New Jersey, Tennessee, Indiana, Louisiana, Texas, Connecticut and Virginia. The demonstration had . re? solved itself into a Parker outbreak more than a testimonial to Bryan and ib so remained to the finish,* which was 13 minutes after Mr. Bryan entered tie hall. The Parker men claimed tiiat they had information before entering the hall that the Bryan de? monstration had been arranged betweens tlie Hearst men and Tammany, and they were prepared to meet it by a Parker counter-outburst of their own. As the noise began to subside Chair? man Williams secured a huge mega? phone and endeavored to announce that the recess had ended and it was time for the convention to come to order. There was still so- much confusion asi the huge gathering was trying to compose itself, that the chairman's voice, even through the megaphone, was hardly audible. It was finally as? certained that the committee on cre? dentials was ready to report THE COMMITTEE ON CREDEN TTALS. _ 9 - Tust at this instant, Mr. Bryan arose in his place and began making j hi9 way to the platform. Chairman Head of the committee bad not yet put in aa appearance with the majority report of the committee and Delegate Kerr, of Pennsylvania was dispatched for him. Li the meantime, amidst great con? fusion, Delegate Robinson of Alabama jumped to' his chair and shouted a motion that pending'the arrival of Mr. 'Head'with'the report, Gov. Beckham of Kentucky address the convention. r.?his motion was put through the megaphone and declared carried. It was some moments before uov. Beckham wau heard from and when he was he requested to be excused. A PERMANENT ORGANIZATION. Representative Hugh Dinsmore,'of Arkansas, chairman of the committee, made the report. , The mention of the name of Champ Clark as permanent chairman was received with applause, and the report was$ unanimously adopted. Chairman Williams appointed Sena^ tor J. W. Bailey and Representative Bourke Cockran, of New York, to escort Mr. Clark to the chair. With his hat in his hand, Tempo? rary Chairman Williams presented Mr. Clark as permanent chairman, and as Mr. Clark bowed in acknowledgment he w as heartily welcomed. M:r. Clark at once plunged into his speech. He was greeted with applause and ,?iven careful attention. Mr. Clark has an ideal voice for a convention. Everybody could hear him. 'At the conclusion of his speech, in motion of Mr. Kerr, of Pennsylva? nia, John S. Williams, by a rising vote, was thanked for his services gas temporary chairman. * A motion to adjourn was adopted, and the chairman delared "the meet? ing stands adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning." WORKING ON THE PLATFORM. Tho sub-committee of the committee on resolutions spent the entire day untii 5 o'clock in perfecting the details of the Democratic platform, conclud? ing at that hour the adoption of a gold standard plank. The plank was voted in during the absence of Mr. Bryan and Congressman Williams, and the ballot stood seven to three, the affirm? ative votes being cast by Daniel, Pattison, Hamlin Cable, Pole *and Davis, and the negative votes by Gubers, Shively and Newlands. The understanding was that if Bryan and Williams had been present they would have cast their votes in the negative, thus bringing the opposition vote to five. The platform as agreed upon by the sub-committee is a lengthy paper and cannot be given in full. Before declar? ing each plank of the platform the following general statemtent of princi? ples was made : We, the delegates of the Democratic party of the United States, in national convention assembled declare our de? votion to the essential principles of* the Democratic faith which bring ns together in hearty communion. ? Under them, local self-government and national i.nity and prosperity were alike established. Tbey under-laid oar independence, the structure of our free republic, and every Democratic extension from Louisiana to California and Texas, to Oregon, which preserves faithfully in all the States the tie be? tween taxation and representation. They yet inspirit the masses of onr people, guarding jealouly their rights and libertiep, and. cherishing their fraternity peace and orderly develop? ment. They remind tis of our duties ano responsibilities as citizens and impress upon us, particularly at this time the necessity of reform and the rese?e of the administration of gov? ernment from the headstrong, arbi? trary and spasmodic methods which distract basiness by uncertainty and pervade the public mind with dread, distrust and perturbation. The application of these fundamental principles to the living issues of the day constitutes the first step toward the assured peace, safety and progress of our nation. Freedom of the press, of conscience and of speech ; equality before the law of all citizens ; the right of trial by jury ; freedom of the person defended by the writ of habeas corpus ; liberty of personal contract untram? meled by sumptuary laws ; the supre? macy of civil.over military authority; a well disciplined militia ; the separa? tion of church and state ; economy in expendiures; low taxes that labor may be lightly burdened ; the prompt and sacred fulfillment of public and private obligations ; fidelity to treaties ; peace and friendship with all nations; en? tangling alliances with none ; absolute acquiescence in the will . of the majority, the vital principle of republics-these afe doctrines which Democracy has establish? ed as proverbs of the nation, and they should be constantly invoked, preached, resorted to and enforced. St. Louis, July 9.-Parker was nominated on the first ballot this morning after an all night session. He received six hundred and fifty eight votes, being only eight less than required for a choice. Then Nevada, West Virginia and Idaho changed in bis favor, giving him six hundred aud sixty-seven votes. The nomination was then made unanimous and the convention [adjourned till 2 o'clock. Hearst had two hundred and four votes. St. Louis, July 8.-The Democratic national convention tonight adopted a platform by a viva voce vote and listened to nominating speeches for president. Judge Alton B. Parker was named by Martin W; Littleton and William Randolph Hearst by D. M. Delmas. Both orators were applauded at length. Anti-Parker delegations attempted to create enthusiasm for their candidate but the Parker men remained undis? turbed and unconcerned. Hearst dele? gates paraded the hall but tho*'show? ing was small in comparison with the Parker procession which preceded it. Nominating speeches for Gray of Delaware and other favorite son can? didates and seconding speeches for both Parker and Hearst occupied the convention for several hours. The convention seats about 10,500 persons but from appearances hundreds more had been admitted until the crowded condition of the hall endangered every life. As soon as the convention had been called to order, Chairman Clark an nounced that the report of the com? mittee on resolutions was ready. Sen? ator Daniel read the r/port as chair? man of the committee. The confusion was so great that not a word could be heard ten feet from the platform. The great climax of the convention -the nomination of a candidate for president-followed immediately on the adoption of the platform. 'Alabama yielded to New York. Mr. Littleton's speech immediately pleased his audience and when he concluded pandemonium reigned. A scene that recalled William Jennings Bryans nomination eight years, ago was en? acted when two girls in white sprang to the front of the platform and waved flowers and flags. The young women were Misses Adele and Evelyn Hey? wood of St. Louis. With renewed out? bursts the immense throng cheered them until a picture of Judge Parker, on a six by nine foot canvas, attracted the thunderous cheering thousands. The cheering continued fully 25 minutes. Even then ten minutes elapsed before the chairman dared to call the next State. Arkansas yielded to Tennessee and Senator Carmack seconded the nomination of Judge Parker. There was great confusion during the speech. California, a Hearst State, was next in order and ;D. M. Delmas of that State, nominated Mr. Hearst. The hall was a bedlam when Mr. Delmas concluded. / When bilious take Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. . For sale by China's Drug store. RUSSIANS ARE DRIVEN BACK BY THE JAPANESE. Swarming Over Mountain Crests They March on Kaii-Chou. Liao Yang, July 7.-A great battle is now raging twenty-five miles from here. The loss on both sides is great, bnt no further information has been obtained up to this time. SEVERE E?GAGEMENT IN PROG? RESS. London, July 7.-The Liao*Yang correspondent of The Daily Telegraph in a dispatch dated July 7, at I a. m., says: "A battle is proceeding 25 miles from here. "Numbers of wounded are being brought in from the mountains, "Evidently the engagement is a severe one. "It is believed that the Japanese are continuing their advance with the object of cutting off Mukden." ATTEMPT TO TORPEDO RUS? SIANS. St. Petersburg, July 6, 1.30 p. m. A few nights ago Admiral Togo at? tempted* to repeat the Japaneese ex? ploit w&h torpedo boats at Wei-Hai - Wei during the Ghino-Japanese war, , by sending torpedo boat destroyers in? to the harbor of Port Arthur for the purpose of sinking ships at their an? chorage, but the attempt ended in dis? astrous failure. Four torpedo boat destroyers succeeded in creeping into the harbor, which was not protect? ed by booms, but only one escaped. Two were sunk by the shore batteries and one was crippled. The reckless bravery of the Japanese in going to almost certain destruction excites nothing but admiration here. The channel at Port Arthur is so tortuous and strewn with wrecks without that it waa evidently regarded as unneces? sary to use a bo**m\ On accourft of the difficulty of getting into the harbor the feat is considered in naval circles to be fully as daring as that of the Japanese at Wei-Hai-Wei, where Jap? anese torpedo boats in- a storm and covered with^ ice were jumped over the booms protecting that harbor and destroyed Chinese warships. So far as kno wn the Japanese torpedo boat dis troyers did not even succeed in launch? ing torpedoes. The admiralty has no information from Lis o Yang of an engagement between the Vladivostok squadron and Japanese warships off Gensan. ?There is good reason to believe that the Rus? sian squadron is safe back in port. The exact date of the attack is not -ascertainable, but it is said to have occurred Saturday. No further details are obtainable. Though it is believed other destroyers participated in the attack, only four, however, succeeded in getting in. The method whereby this information reached the authori? ties is not disclosed. A dispatch received here from Vlad? ivostok this afternoon does not men? tion the Russian squadron. Ta Tche Kaio, Wednesday, July 6. -(Delayed in transmission.-The Japanese swarmed over the mountain crests early this morning and advan? ced on Kai Chou, compelliKg Gen. Chirikoff, with the centre of the Rus-' sian vanguard, to fall back. A whole brigade of Japanese with masses of cavalry followed and occupied the vil? lage of Nan Tay, driving out two com? panies of Russian infantry and two companies of Cossacks who were en? trenched there. The Japanese arrived within five miles of Kai Chou. It was then nightfall. Gen. Samsonoff made a heroic at? tempt to check the Japanese, gallop? ing oat with guns to shell the Japa? nese left and inflicting great loss on ,them, but fearing his retreat would be cut off he fell back and is now holding Kai Chou. Geo. Ctiiriffok's force is stationed southwest of Kio^ Chou. The plans of the Japan? s3 fe main a mystery to tne Russian com? manders. JAPANESE LOSE GUNBOAT. Tokio, July* 7.-The Japanese gun? boat Kaimon struck a mine and sunk in Talien Wan bay on July 5. STRUCK RUSSIAN MINE. Washington, July 7.-The Japanese legation has received the following cablegram from Tokio, dated today : Admiral Togo reports that on July. 5 onr gunboat Kaimon, while on a special mission in the waters outside of Talien Wan in a dense fog, struck a Russian mine and sank. .Three officers, including Commander Taka hasbi and 19 petty officers and men are missing. The rest were saved." RUSSIAN VICTORY RUMORED. St. Petersburg, July 8, 1.32 p. m. It is reported in a special dispatch from Liao Yang under yesterday's date that a persistent rumor is current there to the effect that a naval en? gagement has occurred at Port Ar? thur, in which 21 Japanese warships participated, resulting in a Russian victory. A similar report was current at Liao Yang, July 5, the location of the engagement then being as northward of Gensan, Korea. KUROKI ADVANCING. St. Petersburg, July 3, 1.3? p. m. A special dispatcli from New Chwang, dated yesterday, says Gen. Kurofci is advancing all along the line* and adds that Japanese officers are organizing Chinese bandits throughto?t the Liao valley for an attack on Mukden. CASTOR IA for Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of WHITE MU MURDERS NEGRO GIRL. Alleged Assassin Ran Away-Hor? rible Crime Reported From Bamberg. Bamberg, July 8.-Last Saturday night two young white men.tamed Daniel Pro veaux and E?fsha Morris went to the house of a negro woman in the town of Olar, in this county, and, it is sai of demanded to be admitted. ?he men were drinking.
