One Of our dry goods clerks had a
loot-lilting experience last night,
He had been TO church and was on
his way home, and when about to
pass dark alley two men
came out mu0led up to the eyes,
aud before they could say chow do
you ~ to the young man whom
they recognized, he seemed to have
remembered the dauntless run
made by Jim Lightfoot, and took
to his heels in great shape, and did
not stop until he reached the city
hall and reported the attempted
hold up, While he was telling his
tale of woe the two men walked
up and heard him, bat did not tell
him they were the same ones he be-
come frightened at in the alley, We
have promised not TO give either
side away but II you hear a young
man today telling about the pistols
he saw last night flashing 10 the
crisp air and howhe gave them the
dodge, you may know he Is The

Second Day of Republican National
Convention in st. LOuis-Dis-
agreeable Weather.
M'KlNLEY AND MORTON PROBABLE
Committee on Resolutions Agrees on a
Gold Standard Platform-Silver
Men, Led by Teller Make a
Noble Fight of Them
Will Bolt.

st. Louis, June ia chilling rain be-
gan at o'clock this morning and the
second day of the Republican national
convention promised to be very disagree
able.
There is little interest felt now by the
great mass of delegates, since McKinley's
nomination is certain and the platform
is settled, except. perhaps as to few
technical points in phraseology. There
has been no inspiring oratory and street
parades have palled upon the taste.
The contest over the vlce-presidency
will probably put life into the convention.
The fight lies between Garrett A. Hobart,
of New Jersey, and Gov. Morton, OF New
York. The drift seems to be toward
Morton in spite of the previous efforts of
the anti-Platt faction in New York and
of Mark Hanna.
The disagreeable weather will shorten
the convention, as the delegates are al
ready getting tired and anxious to get
away. 1t it probable that the end will be
reached tomorrow.

The Platform Carpenters.

St. Louis, June 1.-THE committee on
resolutions, which remained in session
until O'Clock this morning, and the
committee on credentials were at work
again at 10 O'Clock this morning, the
hour set for the convention to meet. The
preamble and several planks of the plat
form, agreed upon by the ub.committee
and telegraphed to the country last night
exclusively by the Associated Press, will
be adopted by the fnll committee, but
the Indications are that the report can
not be submitted to the convention until
this afternoon.
SILVER LEADERS WILL BOLT.
Mr.. Teller said that if the gold stand
ard plank proposed was adopted, be
would consider it incumbent upon him
to sever his connection with the conven-
ton. Believing as be did upon this sub
iect, which was of all questions the near
est to his heart, he could not consistently
continue relations with body which was
30 determined to antagonize his concep-
tions of right and duty, and as he be-
lieved to stultify its own record.
SENATOR TRLLER's SUPPORTERS.
Senator Dubois, of Idaho, and Cannon,
of Utah, and Delegate Mott, of North
Carolina, and other silver men followed
in a similar strain, also announcing their
determination to bolt the convention in
case the, to them, obnoxious gold stand
ard plank was adopted.
TELLER IN THE COMMITTEE.
Mr.. Teller made vigorous speech in
support of his 16 to silver resolutions
this afternoon, becoming quite animated,

st. Louis, June 17.-At 1925 O'Clock
the band struck up medley of patriotic
airs which was received with cheers by the
packed galleries.
The belated leaders moved down into
their places. Platt jostled ex-senator
Warner Miller as he passed, but no sign
of recognition passed between them. The
feud between the New York leaders is
bitter.
Mark Hanna, who was among the last
of the political generals to appear, was
stopped every step by delegates and greet
ed in the warmest fashion. There was,
however, no open demonstration. He
stepped upon the platform and held
whispered consultation with Senator Car
ter.
As they stood comforting, Temporary
Chairman Fairbanks moved to the front
of the platform and dropped the gavel on
the second session of the convention.
FAIRBANKS RESTED ON HIS OARS. ~
For five minutes Fairbanks rested on
his oars, while the ushers perspired in
futile attempts to persuade or compel
compliance with the chairman's request.
Then, in voice which hardly rojected
said: "The convention will be in order"
The convention was in comparatively
good order upon the introduction of Dr..
Wilbur Williams, pastor of the Union M.
E. church, who made prayer. His
words were not heard twenty feet away.
"The senator from Massachusetts" an
nounced the chairman at the conclusion
of the prayer. Whereupon there was an
outburst of applause as the delegates
perceived Henry Cabot Lodge in the
aisle before the platform.
Mr.. Lodge asked for the committee on
resolutions the privilege of sitting dur
ing the progress of the convention, say
ing that the subcommittee had COM
pleted the platform and it was now being
considered by the full committee. He
asked leave to report this afternoon.
The chairman's call for report of the
committee ON credentials met no response
and that committee was passed.
COMMITTEE REPORTS RENDERED.
Senator Sewell, of New Jersey, and
Senator Wellington, of Maryland, asked
unanlm GUS consent to make the reports
of the committees on permanent organi-
zaton and on rules, but objections were
heard.
The motion of Wellington that the con-
vention take recess until O'Clock was
buried under an overwhelming chorus OF
"noes" and the delegates applauded their
decision.
The chairman called loudly to know
what was the further pleasure of the con
vention.
Several resolutions were handed up and
referred to the committee on rules with
out debate The convention thus seemed
to be at stand-still.
Sewell, of New Jersey, again jumped te
his feet and moved that the report of the
committee ON permanent organization b'
received out of order. His motion wal
greeted with cheers by the galleries which
we're impatient to have the convention
proceed. But from the floor came angr'
cries, "no," "no."

ton selected Pedro Perea as committee
man on resolutions; Solomon Luna on
credentials; w. H. H. Llewellyn, vice.
presidents; Pedro Perea, rules, and 7. D.
Burns, order of business.
The delegation seems to have left
judge A. L. Morrison entirely out in the
GOLD, but Judge Morrison will no doubt
find comfort in the fact that his friend,
Hor. r. @. Kerens, we'll known here,
knocked out old man Filley as national
committeeman from Missouri, and in the
distribution of official pie that is ex-
pected to follow he may be even closer
to the counter than some of the other
fellows.
