DEWEY ARRIVES
 AT NASHVILLE Great Crowds Greet the Admiral
 and His Wife. THE FLORAL PARADE TODAY Admiral Dewey Recognized the Sol- diers of the First Tennessee Reg iment and Paid Them
 High Compliment
THE FLORAL PARADE TODAY

Nashville, Tenn, May 9.-Heralded by the boom of cannon, the shrieking of whis- ties and roaring crowds and multitude crowdng the flag bedecked streets, Ad- miral and Mrs Dewey reached Tennessees s capital this afternoon. The visitors were met by the governors staff in dress uni- form. After they had been presented a line headed by the Industrial band was formed and the party were escorted to their carriages. Around these was drawn a cordon of soldiers, a remnant of the famous First Tennessee volunteers that Dewey had known in the far-off Philip pines.
 The presence of these brave boys was quickly noted by the admiral, who ex-
 claimed: "Oh, I know them, and brave boys they are, too." He barred his head in their honor and remained standing in his carriage until the line was passed,
 Mrs. Dewey at the same time greeting them with smiles and bows. The whole of Church street to the Maxwell house was dense mass of humanity through which the carriages slowly made their way.
 Admiral and Mrs. Dewey rested until 2 o'clock, when they attended a dinner at the Maxwell house given by the state offi- cias and members of the Chamber of Commerce. Tomorrow the grand floral parade takes place.

GREAT CONVENTION
 AT SIOUX FALLS
(ContInued From First Page.)

(ContInued From First Page) perfect, and the seating was done without the slightest evidence of confusion. All the delegates entered quietly with the eX- ception of those from Minnesota and Ne braska, both of which evoked much ap- plause as they came marching down the aisles. The Minnesota men carried ban ners and a large shield, upon which was inscribed: Bryan and Towne." A large number of the delegates carried tin horns, and made their presence manifest by ear splitting toots
 The Nebraska men, by all odds the larg- est delegation in the convention, having all the alternates present, came in close on the heels of the Minnesota men. They also carried flags and waved them vigor- ously as they entered. Their arrival was greeted with cheers.
 After the band of the Fifty-irst Iowa in- fantry, which occupied a stand at the west end of the tent, had rendered a patriotic selection, Chairman Butler advanced to the edge of his table and brought down his gavel three times and said
 Prayer by Bishop O'Gorman
 Before entering upon the regular busi- ness of the convention we will listen to a prayer by Bishop O'Gorman." The bishop, a tall man of athletic build, came slowly forward, holding a roll of paper in his hand. From it he read his in- vocation, which was short, well expressed and appropriate. He concluded as follows:
 Let Thy prudence guide them in their work upon which the whole people will be called to give a verdict that shall be, we trust, Thine own"
 At the conclusion of Bishop OGorman's prayer Chairman Butler, who had re- mained standing throughout the invocation called on Secretary Edgarton to read the opening of the convention. Cheers and waving of flags by the delegates in re- sponse to 1.-The Red, White and Blue and Yankee Doodle" almost drowned the sound of the music. When the band struck up Dixie a perfect roar of ap- plause went up, but when in conclusion ''Tte Star Spangled Banner was played, every delegate, alternate and spectator in the big tent came to his feet with a cfcer that was almost deafening. Senator But Ter then introduced the Minnehaha club. "We have here an article of free produc- ton for home consumption" he said. Tt never paid any foreign duty and 1t has no foreign label. It is a song by the Minne haha club, written and composed in Sioux Falls for the occasion" The members of the club then sang the song, the refrain of which ran:
 "The Sons of South Dakota will be there The second day of next November, foul
 or fair.'
 As an encore they sang "The Star Spangled Banner"
 Governor Lee " elcomed Them
 Amid applause Senator Butler then in- troduced Governor Lee of South Dakota who welcomed the convention to South Dakota.
 He was given close attention and was frequently interrupted by applause. His allusion to "W. J. Bryan" however, the first time his name had been pronounced, brought the delegates to their feet in a

 The report allowed Kansas only two votes instead of S6 votes, there were only two delegates present. When the proxy test was made on Kansas, R. M. Chenault of Kansas, made a speech in which he said Chairman Howard could carry that state for president and a wild demonstration followed, but it stirred up the Barker, Donnelly and other men against allowing Chenault to cast 63 votes or half that of Kansas.
 Charges were made in inf1ammatory speeches that the delegates from Kansas and Nebraska were not sincere middle-of the-roaders but interested in the Sioux Falls convention. When 1t came to ballot ing, the result was disputed amid great disorder on amendments as we'll as the main question. The report was amended by report of 3S3 to 2S, so that the dele gates present could cast the full quota for their respective states and then adjourn. This was regarded as an anti-Barker vote.
 The report on rules and order of business as adopted provides for assembling at 8 a. m., tomorrow and remaining in con- fiuous session until it's work is completed The committee on permanent organization reported in favor of Colonel w. l.. Peek of Georgia, for permanent chairman and former Governor w. H. Waite of Colorado for vice ChaI man, with long list of sec- rctaries and sergeants-at-arms.
 A minority report was offered to submit the namc of Judge s. W. Williams of Vim cennes. Ind. instead of that of w. L. Peek, but it was lost.
 Colonel w. l.. Peek addressed the con- vention as it's permanent chairman and at 11:15 the convention adjourned till $ a. nl., tomorrow.

STRIKERS HAVE

 Attempt to Run Cars

POLICE PROTECTED THE CARS

St. Louis, May 9.-The second day of the great street railway strike was as quiet and uneventful as the first was turbulent and riotious The St. Louis Transit com pany made no effort to run cars and the St. Louis and Suburban made none until late in the afternoon, when, with police massed along the line and a detachment on each car it succeeded In getting a number through. Far from relieving the situation, however, this demonstration had no further effect than the massing of forces on sim gle line. Both sides express confidence in the outcome.
 The police for the first time in the con- f1ct showed some apprehension today by keeping the crowds moving, preventing a repetition of the riotious demonstration of the previous day.
 Mayor Zeigenheim has issued proclama- ton calling upon the people to preserve or der and avoid gathering on the streets.
 The presidents of both the street railway companies addressed communications to the board asking for protection, and the men who were managing the strike issued a statement outlining their position.
 OperdtlOn Ol cars OI tle railway under a police guard was decided upon at noon and the cars began to leave the Dehodiamont terminus at o'clock. Along the line hundreds of officers both mounted and on foot were stationed and for an hour previous to the time set for open ing the line they were constantly engaged keeping the crowds moving. No effort was made to prevent the cars from passing and by the time half a dozen cars had passed the crowds of spectators had melted away.
 Car Blown Up
 Later-A dynamite cartridge exploded un- der car on the Merrimac Highlands divis- ion of the suburban line with great force at midnight. The track was splntered, the section of wheel broke, and the axle cracked The car was occupied by dozen workmen of the company. Following the explosion a number of shots were fired in quick succession. but the persons who did the firing were not seen. Nobody was hit.
 The first tragedy in connection with the strike occurred at 9 o'clock tonight As a suburban car was passing the Baptist san- itarium number of men gathered in the grounds of the institution, threw rocks at the car. Some one on the car fired a shot at the crowd, the bullet hitting Frank Le- brecht, killing him.
