RULES COMMITTEE REPORTS. on The report of the committee er, rules was presented by Chairman Grady of New York. The announcement that the committee had given the delegates from Porto Rico votes in the convention was received with cheers. State Senator South of Arkansas proposed an amendment giving the same rights to the Philippines delegates. His statement that the Philippines are as much entitled to votes as Porto Rico was loudly applauded. Congressman Handy of Delaware objected to the amendment on the grounds that the Philippines were not a part of the United States and made a point of order against It. Delegate South protested, declaring that the convention is the only judge of its own membership and this was met with a yell of approval. Delegate South moved to reject the report of the committee seating the Porto Rico members and to withdraw his own amendment so that both delegations would be excluded. Chairman Grady of the rules committee denied that the committee had exceeded Its authority. He said the courts had decided that Porto Rico is a part of the United States. "Once a part of the United States," he said, "it will never be a part of any other country. (Loud applause!) He stated that the supreme court of the United States had declared the Philippines not a pgrt of the United States. It was for these reasons the committee had taken the action it did. South of Arkansas declared that the opinion of the court had never been approved by the Democratic masses of IS Letters Pouring In on AQ Jurist From Flood Situation Serious in Many Parts of die Parts of Kansas North Topeka UnderWater.

Delegatee all over the floor Jumped on chairs, yelling and waving their hats and coats, the people in the galleries Joining In the demonstration. The New York, Delaware and Indiana delegates kept quiet The Nebraska standard was picked up and waved in the air by an enthusiastic delegate. South Dakota, Arlxona and Massachusetts waved their standards, the cheering was redoubled and pretty nearly all the standards went Into the air. Chairman Williams arrived and pounded for order without 'avail. Bryan rose every little while, smiled and bowed and sat down. At 2:20 the cheering wae deafening and showing no algns of diminution. The Nebraska and Rhode Island delegates began a parade. A Georgia delegate began waving a big flag over the heads of the delegatee and then car rled it to where the Nebraska delegation sat and waved it over Bryan's head.

CREDENTIALS REPORT. At 2 o'clock the report of the committee on credentials was presented. In brief; It supported the acts of the national committee In every respect and announced that the respective cases could only be considered In a general way. State Senator Grady of New York moved a separate vote on the proposition to give the Philippines aix votes, declaring against such recognition, and that part of the report relating to the Philippines was ruled out on the ground that the Philippines was not a part of the United States The Filipino delegates will be allowed to kep their seats but not to vote. In view of the large Increase In the population of Indian Territory and Oklahoma, the report recommended that each territory be given six votes each In the next national convention. The majority report was then adopted except that relating to Illinois and the District of Columbia. BRYAN'S MINORITY REPORT. Bryan read hla minority report on the contested cases from Illinois He was warmly greeted, but the Iowa delegation' was the only one that attempted to renew the earlier demonstration. Immediate silence followed when Bryan started to read. The minority report charges that the etate committee In Illinois, John P. Hopkins chairman, found Itself In the minority In the state convention and deliberately planned to override the Democratic vote of the state by fraud and Intimidation. The contestants brought complete proof, but Hopkins offered none. The minority report recommends that the Hopkins men be unseated. unanimously chosen by the committee on permanent organisation as permanent chairman of the Democratic national convention: Chairman Clark said that had King David been in Chicago while Senator Lodge was rending the Republican platform, he would no doubt have reiterated. the opinion that all men are liars. For surely there never was ur all sorts. This morning the cattle raisers' 'association submitted a plank requesting protection by the Interstate commerce commission and the prevention of differential freight rates. Charles A. Towne offered a petition with 19,000 signatures demanding the independence of the Philippines. The committee has approved planks dealing with Irrigation, providing statehood for the territories and for the election of United States senators by direct vote. James Fullerton of Montana appeared before the committee and demanded a plank looking- to the Impeachment of President Roosevelt on the alleged ground thnt the president condones the unlawful sale of liquor In Yellowstone Park and refuses to remove Superintendent Pilcher, who la held responsible for the Hlleged violation of law. SHORT HUT ENTHUSISTIC. The short session this morning was a great disappointment to the audience, but It could not be avoided. Both the credentials and resolutions committees were overloaded with work. The crowd was In fine fettle and clearof a ly keyed with the expectation struggle of the party giants on the floor and prepared to cheer on the party gladiators. The flurry over the report of the rules committee afforded an excellent opportunity for pent up enthusiasm. It brought Grady, the Tammany star, to the front and Introduced a tip-to- p convention orator in the person of South of Arkansas. He can be proud of his reception, even If he wee beaten In the Porto Rico RUSSIANS MAKE A SHARP ATTACK or - JAPANESE LOSE ANOTHER WARSHIP Losses oi the Japs Were Mach the Cruiser Struck Mine in Talienwan Heavier bat They Claim A Bay and Went to the Victory. Bottom. LONDON, July 7. The Central News reports a fight between the Russians, under General Kashtallnsky, and force of Japanese near Lantyasan. The Russians made a sudden attack In the darkness, during henvy rain, on the Japanese outposts. Strong Japanese reinforcements appeared, but were twice repulsed. Finally the Jap anese made a flanking movement, the Russians narrowly escaping being surrounded. Russian reinforcements then came up and the cxnrs forces were enabled to retire. The Russian cai unities were 900 and those of the Japanese 1,000. Another report of a battle says the Russians were under Genera Keller, but it Is apparently the same fight. This rejiort gives the Russian casual ties as thirteen officers and 300 men killed or wounded. TOKIO, July 7.

The seemed quite demoralised early today, but still made claims They would not conceal their fear over the outcome In the contemplated meeting of the New Jersey delegation today, which state the Parker leaders predicted would declare for their candles te. Bryan made no official statement admitting defeat for the antis and It seemed that he had reached a decision to do his talking on the convention floor. The New Jersey delegation had a protracted meeting this morning and finally decided to cast their twenty-fovotes for Parker. But the decision had a string to It a reservation of the right to vote for Cleveland at any time the delegation sees an opportunity so to do. Therefore, In all human probability, Parker will be the presidential nominee of the convention. WORKING ON PLATFORM. The platform makers sre proceedAt ing with the utmost deliberation. 10 this morning the of went to the resolutions committee work again. It Is their expectation to be able to present the platform to the full committee this afternoon, to Its speedy endorsement and give It to the convention today, even though It be necessary to have a night session for that purpose. The platform will he strictly conservative, without a refflrmstlon of any of Its Is predecessors. The Impatient because of the demands made on their time by petitioners of RATIFICATION MEETING. The Democrats of Salt Lake City have arranged for a big ratification meeting to be held in that city tonight, in tin event of the nomination n the president being made today. It is not likely that there will be any great attendance f Democrats from utsIJi the city, owing to the shortness of the notice. It would be better to postpone the whole matter to some future time and make the ratification a state affair. TO START WORK ON ROAD. Commissioner Wilson left this morning to start the work upon the state road between Weber county and Rich county, for which an appropriation of $1,000 was made by the legislature last year. |
