st. Louis. July THE Democratic
National Convention to-day adopted
the report of the committees on Rules.
Credentials and Permanent Organiza-
tion.
The session opened at 10 o'clock, an
hour later took a recess until 2 o'clock,
and adjourned at $40 o'clock until 10
o'clock tomorrow. During the day
several speeches were made, chief of
which was William Jennings Bryan's
effort to overthrow the report of the
Credentials Committee and seat con-
testing delegates from Illinois. The
controversy was ended by the rejection
of the minority report of the commit
tee by vote of 647 nays to 2s9 ayes.
Though Mr.. Bryan's speech and his
appearance on. the floor of the conven-
tion was cheered far beyond any pre-
vious demonstration, it made few
votes. The assignment of delegates
proved the correctness of previous es-
Inmates of the division between those
who favor the radicals and those who
are supporting the conservative ele-
ment, which is now in control.
When the result of the contest was
announced the report of the Committee
on Permanent Organization was made.
Representative Champ Clark, who was
chosen permanent chairman, addressed
the convention. He had prepared and
furnished to the press a speech of
some length. The hour was so late
when he gained the platform, however,
that he spoke about 300 words and left
his audience to read the remainder.
Switched Easily to Parker.
The ovation given to Mr.. Bryan was
one of the greatest ever transpiring at
any of the notable events for which the
immense coliseum is famed. 1t was
begun before the afternoon session of
the convention had been called to order,
and continued for twelve minutes with
man Williams and all of his assistants,
including a hundred policemen, were
unable to restore order. Quiet came
only after the Parker forces joined in,
and by persistent efforts turned the
tide by a great counter demonstration
for the New Yorker, so that the fav-
orite candidate for the nomination for
President finally reaped the harvest of
enthusiasm sown for Mr.. Bryan.
The Inconsistencies of a great unor-
ganized body. such as is formed by the
spectators, delegates and alternates
making up a great political convention
was aptly illustrated in to-day's gath
ering. Thousands of throats cheered
Bryan as Justify as they did when he
was chosen eight years ago as the
Democratic candidate for President.
The great tumult to the initiated
would have been proof positive that
the Nebraskan, more than ever, was the
hero of his party. And yet, when
banner bearing the inscription, "Geor-
gias Parker delegation" was taken to
the platform and held aloft where all
could see, the applause was directed
that way.
Without pausing in their enthusiasm
the great throng Of men and women
shouting the name of Bryan switched
to Parker as If their only ambition
was to cheer and make a great noise.

Senator South interrupted at this
point with an expressed desire to
speak to the question and accordingly
took the platform. He declared that it
had never been a part of Democratic
doctrine to consider the insular posses
sions as a part of the United States
and he was opposed to such action. He
deprecated the idea of holding the
question in allegiance until the report
of the Credentials Committee was re-
ceived and asked the convention to
vote down that part of the committees

There were loud calls of Question"
but the chairman again recognized J..
Irving Handy of Delaware, who spoke
in favor of the report and urged its
adoption. His expressed hope that the
day would come when the Philippines
could select their own President and
hold their own national convention
called forth cheers.
There were renewed cries of "Ques-

said the chairman, "the chair can put

On a viva voce votes the "ayes" were
in strong majority.
Senator South asked for a roll call,

He is proprietor of the Commercial

Rock Island from Iowa some years

one of the most pronounced anti

was secretary of the democratic city
