Night session.

St Louis, July l0,-Chief Judge Al
ton B. Parker, of the New York state
court of appeals was nominated at
about fifteen minutes to six o'clock this
morning for president of the United
States by the democratic national con-
vention. But one roll call and so de-
cisive was the result OF that one that
contrary states began to call for rec
ognition and the ballot finally resulted
in a unanimous vote for the New York
state man. The scene was dramatic
in the extreNe. Darkness had wit
messed the gathering Of the democratic
hosts, while broad daylight, the sun
paling the electric light, witnessed the
close.
The convention was In session from
eight o'clock last night until nearly six
o'clock this morning. In that time

THE FOURTH DAY.

st. Louis, July 9.-The effect OF last
nights protracted and harassing ses.
sion was plainly evident when the
hour arrived to which the recess had
been taken Chairman Clark was not
present. Not over three hundred del,

leries showed more empty chairs than
visitors. The pyrotechnics were over,
the red fire dying out, the curtain was
about to descend and the general in
terest in the proceedings was compare
lively gone.
For the first time since the conyen-
toned opened it was possible to walk
the aisles without treading upon the
feet of other people and fighting for
a passageway, The chairman arrived
at fifteen minutes after two O'Clock,
and that incident which heretofore
has been the signal for applause, was
entirely unnoticed.

were conspicuous by their absence.

The first test of strength of the

the afternoon session, when the re-
port of the credentials committee was
made. The majority report favored
the adoption, with one exception, Of
the action of the national committee.

Rumor That Northern Securities, if

Atlantic Outlet.
The Erie and Lehigh Valley Con

Special to The journal.

Special to The Journal.
New York, Jan. 13.-If the United
States supreme. court should render
decision favorable to the Northern
Securities company which is antici-
pated in some circles, it is said the
Securities roads will Immediately seek
a direct outlet to the Atlantic sea-
board.
President Fred D. Underwood of the
Erie, when asked to-day whether it
was true that the Erie company would
be utilized either as a holding COM
pany or otherwise, said: TT is be-
yond the power Of any officer of the
Erie company to answer that ques-
transfer Of Willard from the Erie to
the Burlington railroad had any sig
nificance bearing on the Northern Sc
curities situation. s'It was simply
he said, the acceptance by a railroad
officer who has worked himself up
thru his own ability from a low posi-
ton, of post which pays him con-
siderably better than the one which he
occupied with us"
The president of another anthracite
carrying railroad company says Of the
report connecting the Erie and Lee
high Valley railroads with the North
ern Securities situation:
The eastern lines Of the Erie stand up
on a New York charter. The Chicago
| branch was chartered in Indiana. The
Lehigh Valley, on the other hand, has
both New York and Pennsylvania char.
ters The laws Of those three states
should show whether the Erie or Lehigl
Valley could take the place of the North
ern Securities company in the event of al
adverse decision.
