WORK ON THE PLATFORM.


Philadelphia, June 20.-The commit
tee on resolutions is having consider
able difficulty in agreeing upon a
declaration of principles. All the.
members practically agree upon the
sentiment to be expressed along the
entire line of subjects to be covered,
but the difficulty is in finding COM.
mon ground of expression.
The. full committee placed the mat
ter in the hands of II of its members
as a subcommittee. The sub-com.
mittee sat from six o'clock until nine
and then adjourned to meet at 10
o'clock midnight. AT one o'clock it
was still in session, with possibility
of completing its work before adj
journing.
The committee had before it the
draft Of the platform prepared by
Postmaster General Smith and Sena-
tors Foraker and Fairbanks, and while
1t found the document elegantly ex-
pressed, the opinion was expressed by
several of the members that it was
Of too great length and not sufficient
ly Catchy" in phrase for popular con.
sumption. Mr.. Quigg was especially
Jealous in advocating change to
meet this objection. The committee,
therefore, referred all the resolutions
to him with instructions to put them
in plain and simple language. Mr..
Quigg spent part of the evening in
this task and when the sub-commit-
tee convened at midnight presented
his draft to them.
The subcommittee was to meet
again this morning at nine o'clock
and at 9:30 o'clock will make its re-
port to the full committee.

St. Louis, June 20.-Strike matters
are very quiet. For the past few
days the only excitement has been
after dark, when the dynamite fends
get in their work. As result OF the
numerous explosions on its lines, the
St. Louis Transit company has EN-
ployed detectives to ferret out the
miscreants. The cars are running
about as usual but the north and
south lines are but little used, and
since the attempts to blow up coaches
have become 40 numerous there has
been falling of in patronage OF
the others.
There were two shooting affairs
last night as result Of the strike.
As a passenger wagon was passing .
Transit line car some Of its passengers
tainted those on the car by calling
them scabs. This 80 exasperated
some individual on the car that he
fred shot into the wagon, the bullet
lodging in the foot Of Peter Bonifer,
q saloonkeeper, one Of the passengers
on the wagon. It IL said the car car
ried among Its passengers several
members Of the posse comitatus. Miss
Winnie Allen was shot under similar
circumstances, but In her case IT 10

The weapon used WAS riot shotgun,

Markham American Turner Bund.

Philadelphia, June 2O.-The fea'
ture of Tuesdays session of the con-
vention Of the Northern American
Turner bund was speech by A. Vail
teicht, of Chicago, formerly social
list member of the German reichstag.
Mr.. vahlteich appealed to the con-
vention to place itself on record as
being in active sympathy with the
principles of social democracy. Philip
Andres, OF Nebraska, spoke against
the idea of bringing politics into the
association and Carl Eberhardt, OF
Boston, said he was socialist, but
thought it unwise for the turner's to
enter the field Of politics.
