tion, in the contest in the 21st Illinois
district, the credentials committee o
the national Democratic convention
followed the lead of the national com

Speech Completely Exhausts Williams
st. Louis, July when Mr.. VIII.
Jams concluded his speech yesterday
he was greatly exhausted. Perspiration
was streaming from his face, his collar
was sols. his voice was worn to fraz.
zle and Ase could not be heard 20 feet
from where he stood. He spoke for an
hour and forty minutes. Mr.. Williams
announced that the delegates were in
vited to visit the exposition and the
clerk would read the invitation. The
last few words were lost in cries of
fast from different parts of the hall.
Cheers mingled with the calls and it
was fully a minute before the voice of
the clerk was able to rise above the
tumult. Mr.. Bryan remained seated
while the demonstration was made by
his friends and showed no outward rec
ognition of the applause which greeted
his name A roll call of the states
was then ordered for list of commit
teemen, to be chosen in caucus. While
the roll call was in progress the spec
tators caused great confusion by leav-
ing the hall in great numbers. At $3.50
p. m. the convention adjourned to 10
o'clock this morning.
CIeveiand's Name Wildly cheered.
The mention of Grover Cleveland's S
name was cheered Justify. The demon
stration continued for several minutes,
in spite of the efforts of the chairman
to secure order. Finally Mr.. Will
Jams threatened to discontinue his
speech and this had the effect of restor-
ing quiet. Mr.. Williams voice began
to fail at this point and the audience
had difficulty in hearing the rest of
his speech. In consequence, there was
considerable noise and confusion. Tim
Murphy, delegate from St. Louis, was
elected from the convention hall dur
ing the demonstration for Cleveland
because he would not take his seat af-
ter being requested to do so by one of
the sergeants at arms.
Philippines Barred.
Chairman Williams was given a
round of applause when he appeared.
He showed from the strain of his long
speech of yesterday. AS soon as he
had produced silence in the conven-
tion with his gavel he introduced Arch
bishop John J. Glennon of st. Louis,
who delivered an invocation. The re-
port on rules and order of business
was adopted without discussion. The
report concerning Porto Rico and the
Philippine Islands accrediting the del
egates from Porto Rico seats was next
read. An amendment was offered for
the report to include the Philippines
which caused considerable discussion,
it being contended that the Philip
pines were not a part of the United
States and that the Democrats hoped
some day that it would have a presi-
dent of it's own. The committee de-
Tended its report on the ground that
the U. S. Supreme Court had declared
Porto Rico part of the United States,
and that the Philippines were not
part. A motion to include the Philip
pines was withdrawn and after some
more debate the report of the commit
tee was adopted. The chair then an
that the permanent organi-
zation committee was not ready to
