THE CHICAGO PLATFORM.
A. the Front or Democratic Politics.

From the York Gazette.
The Reading convention was an event of great
moment in the history of the Democratic party
Of Pennsylvania The evidence that the nearly
half million who cast their votes for Bryan
and in support Of the Chicago platform had not
weakened but had been strengthened In their
convictions was unmistakable. The Reading
convention, clearly representing the Democratic
people Of Pennsylvania, reafirmed tho Chicago
platform and Endorsed Mr.. Bryan. Thus tho
Democracy of Pennsylvania relieves itself Of all
charges Of insincerity in It's declaration Of prin.
ciples by assuming its proper relations with tho
Democracy Of the Union through q representa-
tive in full sympathy with them and their doc
trines. This event will have no small effect
throughout the country.

Large Crowds Continue, and Big Pro-
gramme This Week.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 26.-Last week
was great success in every respect at the
exposition, the attendance during the week
exceeding 10000, and this week bids fair also
to be largely attended. The city shows the
presence of many strangers, and the ha-
bitual visitors to the exposition say the
throngs now are composed in the greater
part of visitors. Tomorrow the national
convention of journeymen plumbers and
allied associations will meet and the local
society has prepared to receive and enter
tain the delegates.
Tuesday the Junior Order of United Amer
lean Mechanics will have their day at the
exposition There will be an immense street
parade and exercises in the auditorium.
Rev. Sam p. Jones is the orator of the day.
Friday is Crockett Clan day, and the de-
scendants of Davy Crockett will meet in the
auditorium, where speeches will be made by
noted orators. General r. H. Crockett, of
Stuttgart, Ark, is chief of the clan and will
preside. Saturday the first of a series of
football games will be played on the ex-
position grounds The United States cav
airy will continue it's attractive drills and
parades during the week, and new features
will appear in the daily concerts. The great
day OF the week, perhaps the greatest day
of the exposition, will be Thursday, when
Kate kirkman day will be celebrated in hon
or of the president of the womanS board. So
ciety will turn out in force with equipages
decked with flowers, and the grounds will
be en- fete. A battle of flowers in cOnnec-
ton with the beautiful parade will be
fought, and at night grand reception will
be given in the woman's building. Not only
in this city, but in all the towns of Middle
Tennessee, the women have determined to
make the fete the most beautiful ever wit
messed in the South, and the attendance will
be immense.

DEBS WILL PRESIDE.
Convention of Labor Organizations in
Chicago To-day.

CHICAGO, Sept. Notwithstanding the
announcement by Eugene Debs that the
convention of labor organizations called for
this city tomorrow was off" the Social
Democracy leader announced tonight that
the conference would be held and that he
himself would call the gathering to order
The call for the present convention was is
sued on Sept. 3 and signed by T. j. Don
nelly, j. r. Sovereign, w. d. Mahon, James
O'Connell and e. V. Debs. A meeting of
that committee was to have been held in
Chicago on Saturday, but Debs was the
only member present. He accordingly an
nounced that there would be no convention
Since that time the single-tax delegates
have come on and 1t has been decided to
go ahead. committee waited on DebS
this evening and invited him TO call the
convention TO order tomorrow morning He
accepted and will deliver the opening ad-
dress. 1t is probable the coal strike and
other trades-union matters will be left
alone during the conference. The result will
be I discussion of the best means of seeur-
ing what the call nominates as the in
aiienable rights of every citizen under the
Constitution"
Mr. Debs puts it this way late tonight:
Il am exceedingly pleased that the Single
Tax League has taken the conference in
hand ana will do all / can to aid in the
work can be present only a portion of
tomorrow, however, as / must leave for
an Eastern trip in the interest of the Social
Democracy. l regret exceedingly that the
Federation of Labor has not given the con-
added greatly to the suceJss of the session.
Unfortunately the idea iS.prevalent that the
object Of the conference as originally de-
signed was solely in the interest Of the mine
workers. That would have been practically
a side issue. There are matters Of weightier
and far-reaching moment to come before
the body In my opinion it is equally i'm
pOrtant as was the St. Louis convention"
About ten delegates only have arrived to
attend the meeting.

MOBILE, Ala, Sept. 26-The returns at
the Board of Health Office to-day for the
twenty-four hours ending at noon showed
five new cases and no deaths, with two
patients discharged. This leaves twenty-one
under treatment. So favorable report was
not looked for by many. for the weather
has turned warm again and the increase in
number of cases the previous two days
seemed prelude to a serious turn OF the
outbreak There is, however, no actual
change for the worse, the case on Lafayette
street, near the old Shell road, being but a
temperance of the disease in one Of the
foci where it had seemed to be stamped out
This case is that of Brother Symphorian,
of the Catholic School and Orphan Asylum
on that street. There has not been any case
in the school before, but several cases in
the vicinity. The isolation of the sick man
is complete, the infirmary being detacheu
from the school proper. The other cases
are: Mrs. John Christie, corner OF Con-
ception and Savannah streets; Alexander
Sellers Bayou street. between Elmyra ana
Texas streets; Mrs. Matthews, 9l2 Church
street; Mrs. Alma KrSch, Savannah street,
near Dearborn. The deaths so far show a
ratio of IA per cent.
Another death was reported Tonight
Miss Florence Barlow, aged tWenty-tour,
residing at Elmira- Second and West VIII

day.

Sensation in the Spanish Capital on
the Arrival of the Amer
lean Representative.
AN ULTIMATUM TO THE DONS
THE CUBAN WAR MUST CEASE, but
NO TIME LIMIT Is NAMED.
Diplomatic Relations VIII Cease ana
Minister he Recalled Unless
Spain Accepts the Terms.

MADRID, Sept. 26-The arrival Of United
States Minister Woodford from San Sebas-
tian has made sensation. The programme
of the United States has been ascertained.
This does not contemplate a declaration OF
war if Spain rejects mediation, but accord
ing to report. an "ostentatous proclamation
to the world of disapproval of the Cuban
regime by suspending diplomatic relations
with Spain and Withdrawing the United
States minister"
General Woodford has declined to be inter-
viewed on the subject further than to say
that his conference with the Duke OF
Teeuan the foreign minister, was OF the
most satisfactory character. The unex-
pected bitterness of the press and of public
opinion has painfully impressed him, but
he hopes this will soon be allayed, as he
believes his mission favorable to Spanish
interests, and cannot comprehend that Spain
could reject meditation designed to end an
impoverishing war; He has not named a
time at which the war must be terminated,
but he hopes. as the result of his tenders,
that it will be ended quickly. He believes
the war is inflicting ncalculable loss on the
United States, and that it Is impossible to
prevent the organization of filibustering ex-
petitions
Unusual measures were taken to protect
Minister Woodford on his journey from San
Sebastian to this city, but the trip was quite
uneventful. A party of gendarmes, COM
manded by sublieutenant, guarded the
southern express on which he was pas
senger Secret police were posted at the
station, and the prefect of police was in
waiting TO escort him to his hotel. The
drive through the streets was marked by no
special incident, though several people sa-
luted him, receiving a bow in return
Some comment has been caused by the
fact that Minister Woodford's family has
not accompanied him, but remains behind
the French frontier. Minister Woodford ex-
plains that his party is a large one, requir-
ing a commodious home, and prefers spend
ing a pleasant October at Biarritz until
suitable residence can be secured here. The
legation cannot be used as a residence. Gen.
Woodford has already engaged box at the
Royal opera House and has purchased
horses.
General Woodford has taken apartments
at the Hotel Rome, but receives official vis-
its at the legation, where he passed the en-
tire morning.

were on the hill and hillside overlooking
the public square. and when Bushrod's
dangling form went up, cheers on top of
cheers from them rent the air. In fact, the
women gave a double reinsurance to the
ones engaged that the proper punishment
was being meted out. All through the day
Bushrod gave evidence of intense anguish
He was told and he fully realized that his
time was close at hand and he gave some
evidence of sorrow. In the march to the
place of lynching it was almost impossible
to prevent his being killed by infuriated
men, Twice he was knocked down and it
is believed by some that he was uacon-
scious when strung up.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Prof. John At

Theodore +. Briggs. of Hoboken. brought
his child girl OF three years, whose left
shoulder had been stiff from birth. Prof
Atkinson twisted the tiny member back and
forth, pressed and squeezed the fies4. on the
shoulder, and then the chld's arm could
be raised 10 the head. Other deformities
Were similarly disposed OF.
w. II. Jones. q dentist of Springfield
Mass, walked TO the stage with the ala of

then bent the leg as far as possible. After
bending IL back and forth several times ne

Then the man jumped and walked across
the stage without using his crutches. and
the three hundred people in the audience

ner cartilage or the knee had been mis-
placed and that he had returned it TO it's
proper place.
The opinion of most Of the physicians
present was that the cures effected by Prof
Atkinson are dua 10 skillful massage.
