RULE OF GALLERY
MOB SUPREME
Hooting, HoWling Spectators
Held Sway, Helping Only
Hearst Demonstration.
From a staff Correspondent.

st. Louis, july 9.-"ChaOs worse
COMPOUNDED" ruled in the democratic
convention was simply swamped by
the mob rule of the galleries. Howl
ing, hooting, cheering thousands had
their own sweet will and the conven-
ton was. not under control Of any
thing but the caprice of the mob.
The patience Of the delegates was
strained to the last degree, and the
session all evening was an absolute
farce. The size of the hall was
much to blame.
It's acoustics are bad and few
speakers can fill it. When Senator
Daniel read the platform, the gal
leries could not hear a word, and a
his voice was inaudible fifty feet
away. Frequent bluffs at clearing
the galleries had no effect.
Littleton Of New York made him
self heard when he named Parker as
the crowd wanted to hear him.
But when he was done, the tradi-
tional demonstration started: New
York's banner, followed by those of
other Parker states started for a pro-
| cession around the hall. For a solid
| half hour banners waved ana galleries
| cheered, till everybody was worn out.
effect on the delegates was concerned,
| but had to be done or the nomination
| would be called a frost.
Then 1t was UP to Hearst's men.
I When Delmar had nominated their
candidate, they started little process
sion Of their own. There was not
! much to the demonstration as far as
the delegates went, but lusty lungs in
the galleries kept it going, with fire.
| quent glances at watches, till they had
| beaten Parker out by several minutes
/ There was no other excuse for this
| fuss over defeated candidate, tho
! in view of the reported nillion-dolla1
campaign, many expressed the opinion
| that Hearst was entitled to a half hour
of the party's time. The Hearst dele
gates could not, have kept it going
five minutes, but. for the gallery.
Frank Larrabee stayed in line with
the Minnesota standard for a few min:
utes, then got tired and sat down.
i Such mob rule has created a de.
mand for smaller conventions that cal
! carry on business in some semblanct
of order. Future conventions will bt
held in halls of 5000, or 900 capaoit!
instead of 1900, and the attendance
will be limited to delegates, alternates
; newspaper representatives and a few
distinguished guests. -,
: .Platoons Of strong-lunged, over
jealous partizans surrounding dele
gates do not assist in their calm de
alterations. s.
The enthusiasm of the vast assem-
blage was an inspiring sight for
| reasonable time, but the chronic stat
Of the convention was a hum Of dis
order, pierced occasionally by tn
frantic shouts of some hopeless, help
less orator with a message he wa
striving in vain to deliver. 1t was

RAILROAD TO QUITO
Trains Now Running from the Pacific to
Beyond the Western Andes.
. Naw vorIr Sim

NEW IL.
Just thirty years after the first link OF
the railroad betyeen Guayaquil, the lead
ing port and Quito, the capital Of Ecua-
DOR was built, the track has at last
crossed the summit pass of the Andes at
a height Of 10,700 feet above the sea, and
descended to the lofty plain on which
Quito stands to the little town Of Guam
ote, 10000 feet above sea level
Nine-tenths Of the work has been done,
tho the end Of the finished track, now
advancing northward, is still 100 miles
from Quito. The remainder Of the work
will involve new difficulties.
AS an engineering feat the construction
of the road to the interior plateau has
been one Of the most remarkable in rail-
road building. The line surmounts one Of
the most Inaccessible mountain regions of
the world which hitherto has been ira
versed only by few difficult and perilous
mule paths.
Up the mountains the road is an almost
endless chain of bridges, tunnels and as
tonishing grades. Some roads in our coun
try expend hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars rather than encounter a steep grade
and sometimes extend their lines for sew
eral miles to save even moderate grade.
But some Of the grades on the Guaya-
quil-Quito road are 5 u per cent. This
very heavy grade, however, is confined to
a portion of the mountain division, 3S
+ miles in length. The remainder of the
road has no grade exceeding 8 per cent.
Years ago the great enterprise was
brought to sudden standstill at Chimbo,
at the foot of the mountains fifty-six
miles from Duran: the starting point,
which is across the Guayas river from
Guayaquil, and is connected with that port
by ferry. Difficulties, both physical and
financial, led to the abandonment of the
work, and for thirteen years nothing more
was accomplished.
It was found to be impossible to build
the road up uthe mountains from Chimbo
| along the route previously selected, be-
cause it extended over the tops Of land
slides, and when deep cuttings were made
for the road large areas of the surface be-
gan to move; so this route was abandoned
and the builders turned into the deep
gorges of the Chimbo and Chan Chan riv-
| ers. constructing long retaining walls
where they We're needed along the sides of
| the rayines, using the narrow bottom land
| and crossing and recrossing the streams to
avoid cliffs and heavy cuttings.
| Thus In making the road up the noun
tains. the Chan-Chan river is crossed
| twenty six times and there are forty three
steel bridges on this part of the line. RAJ
vines are spanned by steel viaducts, one
Of them, near the village Of Alusai, being
/ $40 feet long and another S73 feet LONG
and 122 feet high. The contracts 70.
bridge work were let in this country and
have helped to swell the prosperity OF
our bridge builders in recent years.

came stationary at midnight, after
rising steadily all day yesterday, and
then began to go down The stage
here was two feet lower than yester-
day. The Missouri river at Kansas
City and north also receded rapidly.
In the west bottoms. on the Mis-

from backwater from the KaW, the
fall was more noticeable than else
where, and merchants began to move
back. ~ - -1.s
At the stockyards the fall was slow
and conditions were still bad. It will
not be possible to handle receipts be-
fore Monday.
The railroads are recovering and
today every line south and west
operated some trains in and out Of
Kansas City, altho with little regard
to schedule. Railroad officials and
business men whose business was in
jured, say the damage locally is in
significant, when compared with last

It would not be surprising if, after
the juncture Of the Japanese armies,
Kuropatkin decided to retire even
from Ta-tche-kiao and Hai-cheng
and concentrate at Liao-yang. This
would render easy the Japanese plan,
repeatedly predicted, to get possess

from Niu-chuang across the head of
the peninsula to Taku-chan and tFeng-

demonstration. Besides, personal
friends. authors. journalists, artists
and actors, 10000 Zionists from all
parts of Europe followed to the grave
the coffin, which, by Herzps wish,
was of the cheapest quality. All
European universities sent deputa-
tons.
. In accordance with Herzrs wish,
no speeches were delivered. Herr
Wolfsohn, director of the Jewish CO.
lon1al bank, simply said:
1--WE must repeat our oath Of al
legiance to his ideas and swear to
complete his work."
When the coffin was lowered great
excitement prevailed among the Zion
lists. Poverty-stricken Jews cried
out:
"Our Messiah must come again and
deliver U.s."
Vienna never witnessed such an ex-
traordinary private funeral.

won it's way into thousands Of homes and
millions Of hearts by its marvellous cures
of catarrhal affections. Peruna does not

tarrh and leaves the stomach to perform
digestion in a natural way. This Is vastly
better and safer than resorting to artificial
methods.
| Peruna has cured more cases Of dys>
jpepsia than all other remedies combined,
simply because it cures catarrh wherever

Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened

tied in the stomach, Peruna cures it, as
well in this location as any other.

Conservatives Have Won.
But conservative democracy has

But the fact remains that the party
has turned it's back on Organism and
while there has been no open repnd1-

BRYAN exerted no influence in the
convention choice for president; He
was against Judge Parker, and almost
said so in direct terms in his speech
this morning. The convention, Wnlle
charmed by his grafton, would not FOL.

cial arrangement with one Of the ter

ID. b. Hill to the Fore.
Parker's nomination has rehabili'
tated D. B. Hill, who must from this
time on be reckoned with again as
strong factor in democratic affairs. i
was his crafty leadership that woI
the fight for Parker.
Murphy of Tammany has died very
hard, and at the last the rank anc
file of his organization, seeing thu
drift Of events, was not with him.
Hills ,recrudescence may, ultimately
mean Murphys downfall. 1t will Ger
tainly confine his activities to Greater
New York and prevent his becoming
a leader of the state or national par

These are a few Of the results o
