LOOKS MORE LIKE BRYAN The Last News From St, Louis
 Says So. PLATFORM TO BE MODIFIED, But the Democratic Leaders Express Them selves Satished-WiIl Butler Undergo
 Hills Experience as Victim.

St. Louis, July 21.-At a late hour to- night it looks as though the populists will adopt the Chicago platform with certain notifications intended to make 1t conform more nearly to the views of the delegates.
 At least this is the opinion of the Bryan men, who claim to be in control of the convention.
 On the other hand, it may be said that a vigorous fight will be made for an in dependent platform and the nomination of Bryan upon it.
 Tonight, however, men high in the councils of the democratic party, who are here for the purpose of watching the situation, express their entire satisfaction with the results as they seem to have been determined upon to this hour, and this is construed to mean that very thorough understanding has been reach ed respecting the lines upon which the populist platform will be drawn.
 Senator Butler cf North Carolina told a delegation from the middle of the road" meeting that he was in favor of the adoption of a platform and of ten dering the presidential nomination on [ that platform to MT. Bryan. This report was received, with loud expressions of disapproYal, and the proposition was made that some good middle of the road" man be run for temporary chair man against Senator Butler and he be turned down, as Senator David B. Hill was at Chicago. This proposition was indorsed and Jerome c. Kirby, the popu- list nominee for governor of Texas, was suggested. Just as the vote was about to be taken, however, a Texas delegate suggested that Texas did not desire to assume the position of leading the fight against the choice of the national com mittee with their man, and after some further debate Judge o. D. Jones of Mis- souri was agreed upon as the most avail able man for the place and a committee was sent to confer with him, but at a late hour had-not reported.

PROMINENT VISITORS.
Hon. r. 1. Pettus and Captain FaIkner-Ihe Former Talks State Politics and
 the Latter National

Hon. r. L. Pettus of Selma was in the city yesterday. Mr. Pettus brings good reports for democracy from the black belt. The people are more united than they have been for years and the demo- crats will march in a solemn column the first Monday in August. The colored voters have tired of being traded around like so many cattle by their republican bosses, and for once their eyes are fully open as to who are now and have been their friends and will join with the white element in the election of a governor who will be the governof of the whole people and not any one faction.
 MT. Pettus is perfectly enthused over the prospective democratic victory, which promises to be so overwhelming that the opposition will sink so far into insignificance that 1t will be years before another division will occur.
 Col. Jeff Falkner
 of Montgomery was noted among the prominent visitors in Birmingham yes- terday. Colonel Fallzner is thoroughly imbued with the action recently taken by the sound money men of Montgomery. He says he is not aware as to what ac- ton Is being taken towards forming these organization throughout the state, but does not think the purpose Is to take any steps just yet that might effect the success of the democratic state ticket. He does not think national ticket will be put out by the sound money demo- crats, but rather a contest will be made in the nomination and election of mem bers of congress. There are other fea- lures, he says, than the free coinage of silver that the sound money mem serious ly object to in the national democratic platform, among which are the injunc- tion measure and the granting of more power to the interstate commerce com mission. In these measures the QemOp- racy he thinks, has stepped beyond its moorings, and is advocating principles not in accord with the party or good goy- ernment. He states emphatically that he will not support MT Bryan or the Chi cago platform, but that he Is a democrat and cannot support MT. Mckinley. The State Heral s report of the Montgomery meeting being composed of men of minor importance, he says, was far from cor rect, that if the men in that meeting were taken out of Montgomery, together with others who agree and will act with them, only a few cigar and fruit stands would be left, and such would be the case with other cities and towns in Alabama. MT. Fallxner says he has never been what is known as a ''yaller dog demo- crat" and does not believe that the mem- bers of any party are required to follow such a party when it declares against principles which they have been taught were against the best interests of their state and country
 "We have strayed off from the teach ingS of the fathers. There is too much expense attached to our government, na- tional, state, county and municipal There will have to be a looping off, and we have got to return to the old practice of economical government"
 Colonel Falkner predicts financial de- pression for several months to come, whatever the result may be.

BASEBALL.
Colonials va. Philhedonians.

Colonials va. Philhedonians.
 The game of baseball yesterday after noon between the Colonials and Philhe- donians for the benefit of the Mercy home was a failure in point of attend ance, but a success in point of amuse- ment for the few spectators. The game was purely one-sided and save for the many football tactics employed in run ming the line and tripping the basemen was featureleSs.
 The game began at 430 o'clock and at 610 D. m only five innings had been played, the score then being 20 to 8 in favor of the Colonials. In the first in- ming for the Colonials, with only three hits, five runs were made, In their sec ond, with only four hits four more were added, and in the third, with four hits, six more runs were added, while in the fourth inning, with four hits, four more men came in, making a total of nineteep runs, with only fifteen hits. In the first inning for the Phillies with only one hit four runs were scored. It was a game of error4, passed balls and bases on balls.

THE RATE WAR.
Two Policies Advocated by the Traffic Off,

Two Policies Advocated by the Traffic Off,
 cials Now in Atlanta.
 Atlanta, July 21.-Two policies are ad- vocated by the traffic officials who are here to attend the meeting of the execu- tive board of the Southern States Freight association tomorrow. One set favors the aboard Air Lines cut and making 1t apply to New York and all eastern points. There are others who are opposed to meeting the reduced rates and these urge a maintenance of rates so as to keep a high wall on either side of the Seaboard all along it's territory. The latter course, it is said, would soon break up the asso- citation by the withdrawal of western lines.
 The state railroad commission of Geor- gia today notified the Seaboard that it had under consideration the question of reducing the company's local rates to correspond to the reduced rates. This move would play right into the hands of the association lines, but it would be so unpopular with the public that it will hardly be adopted.
 No one can say what the association will do tomorrow. The situation is a grave one for all the roads. The Sea- board is in the war to win.
