Fort Wayne. Ind, June 16.-Wheel-

WAYNE in the game to-day, the score
being 8 to 4 in favor of the home club.
The grand stand, which, by its roofing
and shameful conduct OF yesterday,
really cheated the visitors out of a de-
served victory, was not so lOud-mouth-
ed to-day. which was probably owing
to the fact that Fort Wayne got the
lead at the beginning and kept it, \
crowd Of about four hundred saw the

Generally Believed That Final Adjourn

ST. Louis, Mo-. June 16.-The COM
mittees were hard al work as soon as
the convention adjourned. The shock
of battle which took place in the COM
mittee rooms will thunder and rever-
brate on the floor of the convention to-
morrow. The action of the committee
on credentials in deciding in favor Of
the findings of the national committee,
save in two instance, it is believed,
will make the convention brief and
many now believe that final adjourn
ment will be reached Thursday.
The indications are that the sensa-
tional climax will come tomorrow
when the report of the resolutions COM
mittee is presented. The adoption Of
the platform is assured by large ma
jority. but the radical silver men are
expected to carry the fight to the last
ditch.

Mr. Edison then spoke Of the cratic
behavior of some tubes prepared for

convinced that electrolysis went on in the
substance of the glass itself. He believed
this partly because the spectroscope never
