The national democratic conven-
tiou has been in session at st. Louis

Sharp Williams of Mississippi, was
temporary, and Champ Clark of
Missouri, is permanent chairman.
Thursday the report of the COM
mittee on credentials was adopted
over the objection of Mr.. Bryan by
vote of more than two to one. Yes
terday, the convention was called
to order at II, and after listening
to a speech by Captain Hobson OF
Merrimac fame, adjourned until
eight O. clock last night to hear the
report of the committee on plat.
form, which it was declared would
be unanimous. During Thursdays s
session, Bryan was given a great
ovation which lasted IL minutes
and which merged into an enthu'
siastic demonstration for Parker
Ali the dispatches from St. Louis
seem to indicate that Parker will
be the nominee.

CAN HUNT PHEAsANTs.
This Year-Game Warden Announces
That he will pay no Attention to
New Law.

The way is at last clear for To-
cal sportsmen to know whether or
not they are to be able to hunt
China pheasants this season. It is
a matter over which they have
thought much, for until few days
ago, it was the declared purpose
of the game warden to attempt an
enforcement of the celebrated law
of the last legislative session, which
prohibited pheasant shooting for a
term of years. This law, it will be
remembered, was announced as
having passed the house, then
passed the senate, and was duly
signed and in due time was filed by
the governor with the secretary of
state. When, however. the legis-
lative committee for revision of the
journal proceeded with its work,
the discovery was made that the
vote in the house for the measure
was 80 yeas and 21 nays, instead of
81 yeas as was reported by the
clerk at the time the bill was de-
clared passed. As a majority, or
81 members is necessary to pass the
measure. a question arose as to
whether or not the new law would
be effective The matter went on
for some time, the game warden ser
wing notice that he would consider
the law effective until there was
official declaration to the contrary,
and that arrests would be made for
violations. A few days ago the
attorney general rendered an opin-
| ion to the effect that the law, be-
cause of the action in the lower
house of the legislature, was void,
and since the publication of that
opinion, the game warden, in a
letter to an Albany dealer, announ-
ces that he will be guided by the
1opinion, and that pheasant shoot
ing will be permitted to begin Oct
ober 1st and end November goth.
AS quoted by the Albany Herald,
the game warden says:
According to an opinion deliv-
cred by the attorney general of the
state, the law failed to pass. The
result is the law remains as before
1t is in order now for those who
shoot pheasants to have guns and
dogs ready for the coming October,
and there is not bit of doubt but
they will do so.

A MIDNIGHT TRAGEDY.
Mysterious Disappearance-A Loud Re-
p2rt-The Dead Found.

One by one, the young chicks
went. nobody knew where, or how.
1, was down at the big prune or
chard. Mysterious disappearances
continued from day to day, and the
family was kept agog with specula-
ton and worry at their unexplained
going. At last a hundred of the
young birds were missing, and by
this time everybody was desperate
BY and by suspicious hole was
found in the vicinity of the chicken
house. May be, in the dim shad-
ows of the night, the young chicks
were being carried down that hole.
1t was only theory, but plan was
at last hit upon to test it. Sunken
Japanese mines have destroyed
many Russian warship, and Har-
vey Sargent's gopher gun has,
when it didn't have a human hand
to work on, annihilated many ro-
dent.
In the mouth of the hole, a go
pher gun was placed. 1t was load
ed to the muzzle, and SO adjusted
that the trigger would be sprung
if passage of the mouth of the hole
was attempted. Before dawn, the
night air rang out with an explos-
ion. In the morning, the biggest,
stripedest skunk in those parts lay
dead in the hole with the top of his
head blown off.
And the gun, with its threaten
ing muzzle a-gape, stood ready to
