 NEW YORK, Jan 8. - Alternately pale and flushed, checked by his coun- sel, but yolubly answering questions despite objections, occasionally refus- ing to commit himself, Charles M. Schwab testified for four hours in the suit of the complaining first mortgage bondholders of tha United States Ship building company.
 He swore that he had not more inter est in the management of the Bethle- hem Steel company, the greatest inte. ger in the shipyards combination, than any other outsider save for his large pecuniaTy interest. Subsequently he testified that he controlled Bethlehem 5 before andtafter he disposed of 1t to the parent shipbuilding company.
 Although the issues are the solvency or insolvency of the concern, his coun- sel in this action have put in an answer denying insolvency, but MT. Schwah swore that recently in his foreclosure suit, brought by the New York Securi- ty and Trust company against the Unit ed States Shipbuilding company, he had sworn that the shipyards combina- ton was insolvent and wholly unable to continue business.
 ! He testified that there was no com. petition in armor making between the Bethlehem company and the Carnegie company, now a part of the United States Steel corporation.
 He would not say whether several high officials of the steel trust were not interested with him in purchasing the Bethlehem property, it's ostensihle ri val

 $AW the warships are due before 5l@sday, prepared to start immediate for Titunati or Cartagena. It is be- eyed in Colon that the Colombians fe ready to fight.
 It is learned from a reliable source bat the Colombian troops at Carriage h now number at least 2,o00. EThe Columbian cruisers General Pin bn and Cartagena and the steam tug Iellie continue to convey troops to Ti- hnlati as they come in from the inte- Dor. The last detachment, which con- |sted of 300 men from the department E Antioquia, was brought to Carriage Ia by train from CaIamar.

One of the most complete and relfa- ble books of the year is the Police Ga zette Sporting Manual for 1904, which is veritable mine of information, so far as sporting matters are concerned. It contains, within small space, all the important boxing records, as well as records of the athletic world, and as q pocket encyclopedia is invaluable. It is illustrated with fine half-tone DOT traits of the champions of the ring, the turf and the field, while the cover. is & particularly handsome one, printed ln four colors. The price is only 10 cents.

When Senator Pailey was informed
of his election he announced at once
that he could not accept, as he desired
to be on the floor when the platform
is under discussion. He is expected
to combat any attempt from t;,e Bry-
an forces to inject into the Platform
planks which do not meet the approval
of the committee. Therefore his de-
clination of the craftsmanship was re-
spected. Bailey argued that the chair
manship should be given to Clark, and
a committee called upon him at the
Southern hotel and made the tender.
Clark answered that he was en-
gagged to put the name of Senator
COckrell in nomination for the presi-
dency. and therefore would have to be
on the floor during the convention. He
was urged to reconsider, and finally
agreed to send a telegram to Cockrell

Bryan's Speech Changed Few Votes.
Though Bryan's speech and his APP
pearance on the floor of the convention
was cheered far beyond any previous
demonstration it made few votes The
alignment of delegates on the first test
of strength in the convention proved
the correctness of previous estimates
of the division between those who ia
vor the radicals and those who are
supporting the conservative element
which is now in control.
Ovations to Bryan and Parker.
The ovation given to Bryan was one
of the greatest ever TRANSFERRING at any
of the notable events for which the
Coliseum is famed. 1t was begun Ie-
fore the afternoon session of the con-
vention had been called to order and
continued for twelve minutes with so
much Juror that Temporary Chairman
Williams and all of his assistants, in
Guiding a hundred policemen, We're un-
able to restore order. Quiet came to
the convention only after the Parker
forces joined in, and by persistent eff
forts turned the tide by counter great
demonstration for the New Yorker, so
that the favorite candidate for the
nomina lion for president finally reaped
the harvest of enthusiasm sown for
Bryan.

WHAT THE DEMOCRATS WILL DO
According to the Speech of Temporary
Chairman Williams.

Chairman Williams.
Temporary Chairman Williams
closed his opening speech to the con-
vention by telling what the Democrats
would, and would not do II they win
the fight. He said they would nom
mate for president man trained in
the ways of the constitution who will
not usurp the Legislative or judicial
functions; who will not recklessly vio-
late international usages, even with
the weakest nation, no matter how
tempting the profit to be reaped by it;
who will not keep people guessing
about what he Is going to do or say
next.
1T will. nominate him upon plat
form ignoring dead issues and dealing
with every present live issue in tones
certain and unmistakable; favoring
economy of administration, enforce
ment of honesty in the public serv-
ice, q wise and business-like revision
and reduction of the tariff by the
friends Of the masses and of the COM
monwealth, and not by tariff beneficaries
and their Representatives alone, a re-
duction which shall aim at equity of
burdens and equality of opportunities,
and whose ultimate object shall be to
raise a, revenue by taxation to support
the federal government in virility. but
In simplicity-an object to be reached
in business-like. conservative and
common-sense way, with due regard
to existing conditions, and by steps
constituting in themselves an object
lesson for their own justification and
for the justification Of further re-
FORMS"
He closed as follows: 'sAbove all,
and in conclusion, good Democratic
administration will ponder and prac-
tice the simple precepts of Jefferson's
first inaugural address. 1t is the politi-
cal sermon on the mount for Demo
cratic republicans. Gentlemen, it is in
the power of no man or party to as
sure success. 1t is in the power Of the
humblest to deserve it. God grant that
we may have it. Let US by the char
acter Of our platform and the character
of our candidate deserve it. Let US
erect q standard to which all good
men may repair with that injunction"
Having closed his speech the chair
man declared the convention open for
business and had the roll called for
members of the different committees.

The vice presidential situation was

will finish the nomination of a presi-

ring about the second place on the
the immortal 'Huckleberry Finn our
motto is Meat first and spoon vittles
afterwards. There was enough of
gossip to satisfy but aside from the
movement in behalf of George Turner,
Of Washington, there was no well de-
fined vice presidential boom.
There was god deal or talk during
the afternoon and evening favorable to
Representative ]. r. Williams, of ILL
nois, and throughout the day he was,
next to Turner, perhaps the most fire.
quently mentioned Of the long list Of
vice presidential possibilities. The
Washington delegation was confident
of the nomination of its fayOrite, but
many of the middlewest delegates de-
clared themselves opposed to the Sc
lection of man from the far west.
Adlai E. Stevenson, of Illinois, was
talked of for time, but it was de-
clared that he would not accept the
nomination.
The Indiana delegation was divided
in sentiment or as to what its posi-
ton would be if the nomination were
to go to that state. John w. Kern
and b. F. Shively were being mildly
doomed by the Indianians, as was also
Major G.. v. Menzies. In addition to
the men already named there was in
the various delegations talk of Joseph
w. Folk, of Missouri; David s. Rose.
Of Wisconsin, and Samuel Alschuler,
of Illinois.

Williams Platform the Basis Credentials
- Decides for Hopkins. l
The resolutions committee began
work as soon as the convention had
adjourned for the day yesterday, and
kept at it until after midnight. The,
committee was presented with many
suggestions as toplanks and more than
one nearly complete platform. The
draft of a declaration written by Rep
resentative Williams was taken for the
basis of the work. Senator Daniel was
chosen chairman. When Bryan was
asked if he had platform to present
he said no. A subcommittee was APP
pointed to prepare the platform, in
Guiding Danied, Hill, Bryan, Gable and
Shively.
1nomas, or COLORADO, asked a surong
declaration in favor Of organized labor,
and especially against the governors
acts in Colorado. Tillman wanted a
strong plank in favor of white SUI
premacy in the south, and a committee
of ladies was on hand asking female
suffrage. The full committee adjourned
at 9:45 p. M, leaving the sub-comm1t-
tee TO handle the matter. This body
worked until 12:40 a. III. today and
made very good progress, tentatively
agreeing on the preamble and the tar
iff plank The tariff plank declares
for q revision of the tariff and grad
ual reduction on a wide and business
like plan.
Bryan offered provision of reaf-
firmation of the Chicago and Kansas
City platforms, but definite cOnsidera-
ton of the proposition was postponed,
although it was made plain that it
would not be accepted. 1t was also EVIL
dent during the consideration of the
platform that Bryan will not receive
very much consideration for, although
he made many suggestions and Of
fered many amendments, they were not
accepted. No feeling was shown, but
the subcommittee found other sug
gestiOns to which it was more favor
able
The credentials committee also set
to work promptly, and its first act
was to award six seats in the conven-
ton to the Filipino and Porto Rican
Delegates. The anti-Hearst faction
from the District of Columbia was
seated. In the election of chairman
this committee defeated the Hearst
man. In the Illinois case the commit
tee decided that all the Hopkins dele
gates should retain their seats save
Duncan G. Best, in the Twenty-first
district. General Alfred Orendorff
was given the seat held by Best. The
Hearst delegates declare that they will
carry the Illinois contest upon the floor
of the convention and fight to the last.
When the Indiana cases were called
the contestants did not appear, the
chairman announcing that the action
of the national committee in seating
the regular delegates from Indiana
would be sustained.
