ST. LOUIS, July 24.-After the recess
had been taken there was some lively
hustling on the part of both the Bryan
and anti-Bryan men, both of whom
recognized the fact that the first real test
OF strength would come over the
choice of a permanent chairman.
The delegates were promptly on hand
Tor the afternoon session. Perfect
order was maintained while the dele
gates were gathering in their places,
and there were no demonstrations as
the leaders entered. AT $3.50. Temporary
Chairman Butler raped the conven-
tion to order. and announced that the
committee on credentials would sub
NIT report. His announcement was
taken up and repeated by sub-chairmen
stationed in various parts OF the hall,
delegates In remote portions of the
auditorium having complained that they
could not hear what was going on.
Delegate Wendell OF California read the
report. The portion OF the report rela-
tive to delegations where there were no
contests was agreed TO, and then the
trouble began. Yr
The delegates from several OF the
Middle OF the Road" states cried out in
protest. and when Mr.. Patterson of Colo
rado moved that the convention take up
the contests in alphabetical order Harry
Tracey OF Texas objected. He wanted
them taken up in the order reported By
the committee. Mr.. Brooks OF Missouri
drew a howl of approval from the
straight-outs by rising to a point of
order. that as Mr.. Pattersons seat was
contested, he had no right to the privi-
leges of member of this convention un-
I'll his titlo 10 his seat was confirmed.
The Bryan shouters, however, got their
chance to shout when Chairman Butler
overruled the point OF order, saying that
Mr.. Patterson's name was on the tenn
porary roll, and he was entitled TO all
the privileges until he should be un-
seated. Mr.. Patterson said that the
reason why the Colorado contest should
be first decided. was because 1t was the
only delegation contested as n whole.
His motion was put. and declared car
ried. When Stump Ashley Of Texas at
tempted to secure division, the chair
ruled that his demand came too late.
The Colorado contest was then taken
up. but was postponed for an hour.
The Illinois case was then taken up.
IhS hldJoiity itpOILeu tHdl the TWO dele
cations from Cook county be seated, and
the vote divided. The minority, signeS
by IA members Of the committee, rec
commended that Dr. Taylor's delegation
be seated. Delegate Moran Of Nebraska
moved to substitute the minority for the
majority report. After some wrangling.
IT was agreed that there should be Is
minutes for debate on each side.
After several speeches had been made
the vote was taken by states. There
was much confusion while the states
were being polled. The vote was taken
on the proposition TO give the seats to
the Taylor delegates 1t was not a test
vote in any respect.
AT the conclusion OF the rollcall the
result was announced, Cos for the ma
jority report and 6f2 for the minority.
The anti-Bryan delegates hailed the an
nouncement as victory for the "Middi.

Tho Skeleton OF De Soto.

The local historians of Baton Rouge,
La, believe that the mortal remains of
Fernando De Soto lie buried between
two gigantic live oaks near the present
site Of Port Hudson The books tell diff
ferent tales about the death and burial
of the great discoverer. Some say that
he was wrapped in his mantle and
thrown into the Mississippi; others that
the remains were incased III hollow
log In 1858 three hunters-Riesby,
Davis and Hurin-were encamped near
what is now Port Hudson. While kin
ding fire they found human skele
ton in hollow log that had been lying
in drift. The bones were those of man
six feet tall In the log helmet,
rusty sword and large bronze cruciix
were also found, and on one Of the fin
gers Of thu skeletons hand a large seal
ring. The discoveries of this CHASTITY
memento believe that the remains were
those Of De Soto, the discoverer of the
Mississippi river The burial place of
the bones is we'll known to the Rigsbys,

More Than Hundred Villages Destroyed
In One Campaign.
AS we approached the falls we saw
that the river banks had been depopulat-
ed and the villages were in ashes. We
passed dead bodies floating i'll the river
Canoes were standing Oh end like hol-
lowed columns; crowds of fuGitlves
were atioat and hiding among the reedy
islands. These were all signs of gen.
eral terror, but we could get no infor-
nation of its character. Vague ideas Of
an invasion from some savage tribe
came TO our minds, and now and then
we had misgiving that there must be
Arab sIavers in the neighborhood.
Continuing our ascent, on the third
day we came III sight of huge Arab
camp on the right bank, and before long
we discovered that the Arabs of Nyan-
give (Livingstone's farthest point, hay
ing heard the most exaggerated reports
of orr successful descent Of the kongo
in 1877, had FASTENED after us TO reap
harvest of ivory and slaves. They had
been too successful. Over lis villages
had been destroyed below Stanley falls

their camp, and several hundred slaves.
old and young. were herded like goats
and heavily fettered in the slave pen. 1t
then appeared that while we had been
negotiating with the negro chiefs along
the river, making roads, building sta
tions and hauling steamers overland,
the Arabs of Nyangwe had been coming
down the river, laying the country
waste. We had at last met, about 90
miles below the falls. A glance at the
scenes of the camp was sufficient TO re-
veal what a future awaited the konso
valley had we not conceived the project
of opening the river to civilizing lntiu-
ences. There was not a moment to lose.
We had no authority TO open fire on the
miscreants. They were subjects of the
Prince of Zanzibar, who was a protege
of England, and TO plunge into hostili-
ties with them might possibly involve
us in serious complications. But while
we dared not use force we believed that
by continuing the same system we had
found so successful with the native
chiefs we could check the audacity OF
the slavers by our mere presence among
them. After some days spent in cautious
and friendly negotiations with the
Arabs we were permitted to establish
station at the falls, and after seeing it
we'll advanced we turned the prows OF
our steamers down river toward Leo

Did a Mis.pelled Word Cause WARY

An ingenious explanation of the ac-
tion OF DR.. jameson is given by the
London correspondent of the Birming
ham Gazette. According to this, Jane
son, with his men, was waiting for
some word from johannesburg. 1t came
in telegram worded thus: Revolution
carried, in compliance with your de-
sire. f" That was the telegram received.
The telegram actually sent from the
Johannesburg committee was, "Resolu-
tion carried, in compliance with your
DESIRE That "v instead Of IS" made
oil the difference. Jameson made his
plunge into the enemy country, expect
ing to find the settlers In arms waiting
for his coming. Instead, he found only
great masses of armed Beers barring his
way. The Beers were fully prepared and
expected his coming. This raises the Gu
rious suggestion, Had they anything to
do with altering the telegram? Was it
trap for the English raiders to draw
them on in order to justify the quaint
utterances of Kruger that when the tor
toise put out its head they would cut it

Hiding Their Lights.

The increase in crime has led to the
formation of novel club. Fifty men of
wealth and high standing in business
circles have organized an "antijewelry
wearing club, and have pledged them
selves not to wear anything in public
calculated to tempt pickpocket or foot
pad, not even watch and chain, until
the police department shows some sign
of suppressing crime. This action was
taken after we'll known millionaire
who likes diamonds had 5000 "spar-
kler' plucked from his shirt front while
ne was enjoying cigar on the front
platform of a surface car. AS result of
this action, these members of the club
who formerly disported diamond rings,
to say nothing Of diamond collar but
tons and other expensive ornaments, are
going around today like other plain citi-
zens. Thus contempt for the police
promises to work at least one needed re-
form. 1t may suppress a vulgar display
