ROBSON THRILLS DELEGATES
 BY HIS GREAT ELOOUENCE

Convention Hall, St. Louis, July s. Special Alabama again had the center of the stage in the convention this morning.
 Captain Hobson was called to the platform during the delay of the morn ing session and made tremendous hit with his speech. It is not probable that a fourth of the audience knew who Hobson was when he appeared on the stand as there was a good deal of tur- moil going on in the galleries when his name was announced. but he had not been in view long until he gained the ear of the great crowd. His powerful voice Is one of the very few that has so far been able to penetrate throughout the big coliseum. Added to this were his fine figure and commanding pres ence.
 Audience Attentive.
 Complete quiet was the result in a few moments and then the great gath ering realized that there were brains behind the voice and fuencv In the tongue of the Hero of the Merrimac. Then the audience began to applaud and period after period brought down the hero as he went along. His theme was patriotism and the progress of true Democracy. At one time he delivered a superb tribute to loyal sons of the South to the flag of the reunited coun- try. Then his voice vibrated with passion and hls whole being appeared to be thrilled with his feeling. His attitude was dramatic.

las equaled his. effort in eloquencc or style. He spoke about ten min- utes and received a splendid ovation at the finish. During the afternoon there has been considerable talk of stated that MT. Hill has been sounded on the matter and is quite agreeable to the idea. The difficulty lies in the Alabama delegation.
 Jealous of Hobson.
 It does not seem willing to put him forward as it's favorite son. prop osition of this kind was suggested in one meeting. but it fell flat and was not put to a vote.
 There are influences at work which probably account for this difference There are those in Alabama who are jealous of Hobson and of course this envy has its influence here Captain Hobson himself takes no stock in the idea: He has been hard at work for Folk, and commenced an active can vass of the State delegations for the Missourian until Folk got wind of 1t, and positively declined to allow any boom for his nomination.
 Nevertheless. Captain Hobson has to- day made a national reputation as an orator and a man of brains and char acter. He is no longer merely the hero of the Merrimac. He has a splendid future ahead of him. and the day Is at hand when Alabama is prouder of him than ever before.

HILL AND BRYAN OPPOSED.
Crossing of OratoricnI Swords ip ResO-
 lutiOn COmmfttec


 St. Louis, July S.-The Committee on Resolutions, of the Democratic National Convention, spent the entire night on the platform and at S:30 o'clock this morning considered the last resolution of the draft submitted by the sub committed. But this did not mean that the platform was finished and ready for the convention The strug- gle continued and at 10 o'clock il was clear that an agreement on the docu- ment as whole could not be reached immediately.
 During the long watches of the night in the committee room there were many dramatic scenes, not the least striking of which was the verbal en- counter between Senator Hill and Mir Bryan. It occurred while MT. Bryan was making one of his many attacks upon the gold standard plank as framed by the subcommittee. He was wrought up to a high tension when. approach ing the New York leader and shaking ms hnger dangerously near the nose or that gentleman he exclaimed: You ought to have gold platform to go With the gold candidate you are forcing upon us"
 MT, Hill replied that he knew noth- Ing as to MT. Parker's monetary views
 DO you mean to say" demanded the Nebraskan. that you don't know Judge Farkers financial views?"
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-07-09

T mean just that" responded MT. Hill
 You have no knowledge on that sub ject?"
 None"
 Have never asked him?'
 T have not. l have never sought to secure an exposition of his views and he has never sought to convey them to me. l only know that he Is q Demo- crat and a high minded and patriotic man. and l believe he can be trusted implicitly on this as upon other mat ters of public policy
 MT. Bryan then demanded to know when the gold plank had been decided upan and why 1t had not been incor- porated in the New York platform
 Mir. Hill replied that the latter had been first discussed at the meetings of the delegations about ten days ago and that the declaration was the result of insistence by other members of the delegation than himself.
 AS reported and adopted. the plat from contains no financial plank.

ALTON BROOKS PARKER OF NEW YORK Who Was Leading for the Nomination the First Ballot

IWenty-seven hundred years ago as a prophet foretold the coming of one who was 10 be called the Prince of Peace Two thousand years ago he came upon the earth and the song that was sung at his birth was Peace on earth, good will toward men" Loud cheers and applause) For 2.o0O years this doe trlne or peace has been growing. It has been taking hold upon the hearts or men. For this doctrine of peace millions have given their lives. For this doctrine of peace thousands have crossed oceans and given their lives among savage tribes and among foreign nations. This doctrine of peace, the foundation of Christian civilization has been the growing hope of the world
 And now the ex-Governor of the greatest State of the nation presents Tor the office of President of the great est Republic of all history, a man who Is granite and iron. and who rep resents not the doctrine of peace, but the doctrine that the destinies of na- tions are still settled by their wars.
 Loud applause). Will you of New York present graver indictment against President Roosevelt than that? Will you of the South present a graver indictment against President Roose- vent than that? I do not ask what is tn6 CldTdCteE OI ILe TndIl, ne may nave every virtue. He may be exemplary in every way. but if the President shares the idea of the man who nom- mated him: if the President believes with his sponsor at Chicago that wars must settle destinies of nations; that peace is but dream: that women may pray for It. that men may prophecy about 1t; that these talks of orderly tribunals and all this are but empty sounds: if he believes these things he is a dangerous man for our country and the world. Prolonged cheers and applause)
 I believe he ought to be defeated believe he can be defeated, and if the Democratic party does what 1t ought to do, I believe he will be defeated. How can you defeat him? I tried to defeat he Republican as your can didate. I failed, you say. Yes. I did: received a million more votes than any Democrat had ever received be- fore. and yet I failed. Why did I fail? Because there were some who had affiliated with the Democratic party who thought my election dan gerous to the country and they left and helped to elect my opponent. That Is why I failed l have no words of criticism for them. (Applause). I have always believed, believe to- night. I shall believe always. that a mans duty to his country Is higher than his duty to his party. I hope It will always be true that men of all parties will have the moral courage to leave their parties when they believe that to stay with their parties will be to inJure their country. The success of your Government depends upon the independence and the moral courage of its citizenship.

PLATFORM IS ADOPTED

St. Louis. July 9.--Throughout the long hours of the night the Democratic National Convention dragged its weary length along, and when the rays of the sun this morning penetrated the window of the Coliseum they disclos- ed an array of delegates and spectators that, though worn in mind and body. yet were as enthusiastic as ever for their favorites who had been placed in nomination for the standard bearer of the party.
 The names of Parker of New York, Hearst of New York, Cockrell of Mis- souri, Olney of Massachusetts, Gray of Delaware, Wall of Wisconsin, and General Nelson A. Miles had been placed in nomination, and many seconding speeches were heard. Some there were that aroused the enthusiasm of the vast audience to the highest pitch. and some there were that fell nat. On eadmirer of John Sharp Will Hams of Mississippi. presented his name when North Dakota was reached pl the roll call, but the minority lead er in the House announced that those who felt friendship for him would cast their votes for Judge Parker of New York.
 Congressman Champ Clark, perma- nent chairman of the convention. yielded the gavel to Senator Joe Bailey of Texas and delivered speech nom- mating Senator Francis M. Cockrell of Missouri for the Presidency, and hls speech, which was filled with wit. was well received by his hearers. The applause which greeted the name of Cockrell was lond and loud and it was B magn ficent ovation given the Sena- tor from the delegates and galleries.
 The crowd grew restless on occa- sions, and if the speaker was not en- tertaining, vented its displeasure by cat calls and sarcastic remarks. but all in all the audience was good hu- mored. E,
 Early in the session the platform was adopted by almost unanimous vote. '...

GOLD GOES TO EUROPE.

Wall street has been sc. greatly daz-
ed by the huge volume of gold exports
that it is not quite able to make up its
mind how soon the movement will ease
up Good authorities think the outflow
is nearly over, but the same people
were not long ago estimating a loss
of only $35,0O0,000 altogether Thus
far more than sos, 100000 has gone and
the probable limit is now raised to
SIS, 100000. Jacob H. Schiff's admis-
sion that all of the money received
from the sale of $25,00O,0OO Japanese
IS in this country would be RENTED
to Europe, makes it clear that there is
a strong pressure for gold on the other
side for some reason or another. In
directly, Russia's $1G0,000000 war loan
is the cause of our heavy export of
gold. France took the largest part Of
the Russian bonds and called in many
of her credits from London. Rather
than stand such a drain London gave
orders to draw on New York-since we
owe London largely and must settle
many of these obligations when re-
quired. 1t is probable that bankers
will soon resort to the old expedient of
selling their sterling bills against com
mercial bills which they expect to come
in in volume early in the autumn.
These bills usually run for 80 days and
they can be extended at maturity if
desired.
1t is mystery to many people why
money rates have not materially hard
ened, with such an outflow of funds to
Europe. The explanation is simple.
There is hoard of idle money which
has temporarily been withdrawn from
business channels, while vast
amount which goes into stocks, for
margin purposes, during times of &C.
tivity in the market, is now unem ploy-
ed because there is next to nothing do
ing in speculation. Brokers who bor-
rowed $5,000000 2 or years ago
need only s1,0OO,O0O or $2,O0O,O0O now.
the banks must put out
their funds for what they will bring.

permanent relief. Last summer
one of my children was taken with

bottle of this remedy. Only two
doses were required to give her
entire relief. / then decided to
try the medicine myself, and did
