Kansas City, July 8.-One-half of
Armourdale, the clearinghouse town in
the suburbs on the Kansas side, is I'M
der water from the overflow of the
Kaw river. The water is still rising
at a rapid rate and conditions ap-
preaching the great food of 1903 are
feared. The stage of the river is
higher than at any time since then.
The lowlands of Argentine and Rose
dale, other suburbs, also are flooded
and hundreds of laboring people have
left their homes. West of Kansas
City, along the Kaw, that stream is
bank full and is doing great damage
at North Topeka, Lawrence and at
other points and it's tributaries are
rising. There has been almost inces-
SAINT rain in this part of the South
west for five days and for a month
past heavy rains have fallen inter
mittently. This great volume of water
is coming this way, doing great dam
age in It's course, and it is feared that
many of the scenes of devastation OF
last year may be repeated, at least in
a milder way.
All night steady downpour of rain
fell here and in many parts of Kansas
and it still continues.
Families in Lowlands Evicted.

and the Georgia delegation, who carry

An enthusiastic delegate from South

after brandishing the red and white
disk wildly, shook it at the Bryan
and Hearst men and then placed it
fat against the blue banner, as though
he was mailing the flag of his country

ONLY ONE BALLOT LIKELY.
Opposition to Parker Continues to
CiSappear.

St. Louis, July Sat Parker head
quarters lieutenants of David B.. Hill
worked quietly during the morning
and with confidence that bespoke a
knowledge of sure victory. Senator
Hill reiterated his statement that he
was making no attempt to nominate
Judge Parker on the first ballot. 1t
was sufficient to know, he said, that
he could easily be nominated without
creating friction by shutting out favor
tie sons. All the candidates should be
presented to the convention and voted
for on the first ballot, he argued, and
that will probably be the course pur-
sued.
: The fact that New Jersey finally
voted to cast its vote for Parker, how
ever, made it apparent that Mr.. Hills
programme may be shattered, for that
course left the opposition with ap'
parently less than third of the con-
vention on the first ballot.

CONSIDERED A LOCKOUT.
Only Union Plants of Carnegie Steel
Company Closed.

Pittsburg. July S.-Operations have
been suspended at the four steel hoop
plants of the Carnegie Steel company,
two at Youngstown and one each at
Girard and Warren. These are the
only works of the big steel concern
that have been under the wage scale
of the Amalgamated Association of
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers. All the
other plants Of the company are op-
Grated on strictly nonunion basis.
The officers of the association re-
gard the shutdown of the mills as a
lockout, but the company has not de-
clared that it will not reopen the
wage conference when it is ready to
resume operations.

THE SECOND DAY SLOW
Details of the Progress Made On the Second
Day of the Democratic Convention at
St. Louis.

st. Louis, July S.-With the promise
OF contest of giant orators over the
adoption of the report of the commit
tee on credentials the Democratic ma
tional convention hall filed early for
the afternoon session. Long before
the delegates began to arrive the gal
leries were crowded. The band gave
a concert, which was appreciatively
applauded, and every number was en-
cored. Women again predominated
among the spectators.
Delegates came in slowly and took
their places without causing demon
strations of any character. The band
held the undivided attention of the
gathering. The attendance was larger
than at either of the previous ses-
sions.
William ]. Bryan was given an ova-
ton when he entered the hall just
prior to the opening of the afternoon
session of the convention. He was
half way down the aisle when he was
first recognized. There came terrific
yell from a group of delegates in the
rear of the hall and instantly it was
caught up by the crowd and the cheers
rolled up in roar. Mr.. Bryan passed
slowly down the aisle, picking his way
through the delegates who were
massed in the aisles. He paid no at
tention at first to the demonstration,
but quietly sought his seat.
The galleries joined in the cheering
with terrific enthusiasm, hundreds OF
the crowd standing up in their chairs
and waving hats and handkerchiefs
frantically. The band struck up and
the friends of Mr.. Bryan, believing
this to be an effort to smother their
shouts, at once yelled louder than be-
fore. A man climbed to the chair
mans table and began to wave his
arms up and down, shouting unintel-
ligibly. In moment Mr.. Williams
caught sight Of him and. grabbing the
enthusiasts trousers, hauled him
down.
A wild frenzy of yells followed the
act Of Nebraska delegate, who seized
the Nebraska state sign and waved it
high in the air. Delegates from Ken
lucky, North Dakota, Iowa, Missouri
and Montana took the cue and, grab
bling up their state signs, fastened
with them to the Nebraska delegation.
where they waved them in a circle
around the Nebraska sign.

COMMITTEES CAUSE DELAY
MORNING SESSION OF THE CON.
VENTION LASTS LESS
THAN AN HOUR.

st. Louis, July 8.-The morning
session of the Democratic national
convention lasted less than an hour.
There was delay in calling it to or
der and at II o'clock it became neces-
sary to take recess until 2 o'clock
to await reports from the committees
on permanent organization and Gre
dentials.
The committee on permanent Or
Representative Champ Clark as per-
manent chairman. The choice was
unanimous. The real cause for the
delay was the time needed to prepare
the report of the committee on Gre
dentials. This committee disposed of
the last contest at an early hour in
the morning, but was unable to have
its report ready for the convention
The convention was called to order
by Temporary Chairman Williams al
1918 a. LII. AS soon as he had pro-
duced quiet in the hall by the use of
his gavel he introduced Archbishop
John j. Glennon of St. Louis, who de-
livered the invocation.
The prayer was brief and, as the
prelate resumed his seat, murmur
of approval Ian through the conven
ton which in few seconds deepened
into a roar O1 applause.
Immediately after the invocation
Chairman Williams called for the re-
port on rules and order of business.
Delegate Thomas Grady OF New
York reported for the committee and
the report was adopted without oppo
sition or discussion.
Mr. Crazy next read the report cou-
corning Porto Rico and the Philippine
islands, according tie delegates from
vention.
Senator Jerry South of Arkansas
moved to amend the report, as soon
as it was read, SO as to make it in
clude the Philippines.
PHILIPPINES NO PART
OF THE UNITED STATES.
L. Irving Handy maize the point oi
order that the Philippines were no
part of the United States and, there
fore, the amendment was not germane.
Mr.. South defended the rights of the
Philippine delegation, but finally with
drew his Amendment.
Arguing Tor the adoption of the re-
port Mr.. Grady said the national COM
mittee had decided to include Porto
Rico in the call of the convention.
The supreme court of the United
States had decided that Porto Rico
was a part of the territory of the
United States The same court had
decided that the Philippines were not
a part of the United States. The COM
mittee had followed this course and
had given Porto Rico votes and with.
held votes from the Philippines.
On viva voce vote on the adoption
Of the committees report the ayes
were in strong majority.
Senator South asked for a roll call,
but this was also heavily voted down
by viva voce vote.
A. w. Molina of Porto Rico was
recognized and expressed his thanks
to the convention.
The secretary then announced that
the permanent organization committee
was not ready to report and desired
q conference of the committee at once.
The report OF the committee on Gre
dentials was next called for and that
committee at once announced that IL
would not he prepared to report until

Carolina man had lowered MS hand
the men from Arkansas, Alabama and
Pennsylvania were turning over chairs
and pushing through the aisles on
their way to his side.
After Pennsylvania came Missis-
sippi, New Jersey, Tennessee, Indiana,
Louisiana, Texas, Connecticut and
Virginia. The demonstration had re-
solved itself into Parker outbreak
more than testimonial to Bryan and
it so remained to the finish, which was
eighteen minutes after Mr.. Bryan en-
tered the hall.
The Parker men claimed that they
had information before entering the
hall that the Bryan demonstration had
been arranged between the Hearst
men and Tammany and they were pre-
pared to meet it by Parker counter
0utburst of their own. AS the noise
began to subside Chairman Williams
seized a huge megaphone and en-
deavOred to announce that the recess
had ended and it was time for the
convention to come to order.
There was still so much confusion,
as the huge gathering was trying to
compose itself, that the chairman's
voice, even through the megaphone,
was hardly audible. It was finally as
certained that the committee on Gre
dentials was ready to report.
CONVENTION UP IN THE
AIR A SECOND TIME.
Just at this instant Mr.. Bryan arose
In his place and began making his
way to the platform. AS soon as this
! was observed up went the convention
again on it's feet and the cheers arose
with fresh vigor, but the outburst was
of short duration. Mr.. Bryan's object
in going to the platform was to pre-
sent minority report to that of the
credentials committee. Chairman Head
of the committee had not yet put in
an appearance with the majority re.
port of the committee and Delegate
Kerr of Pennsylvania was dispatched
for him.
A motion was then adopted that
Bourke Cochran of New York b
asked to address the convention.
The secretary announced through
the megaphone that Mr.. Cochran was
not in. the hall. He then called out:
Twill the band kindly strike up some
! tune?"
The band was quick to respond
with "The Star Spangled Banner,
and the entire convention stood.
Other selections followed an(
maryland" was the signal for another
hearty cheer, many voices Throughout
the hall joining in the refrain.
At this moment Mr.. Head, Chairman
of the committee on credentials, en-
| tered the hall and as soon as the hanf
was through, he read the majority re
port of the committee on credentials
which was in line with the decision:
already published. The report de
clared in favor of seating all the dele
gates who were on the temporary rol
call with the exception of Alfred Oren
dorff. who was substituted for Duncan
c. Best in the Twenty-first district o
Illinois.
Mr.. Head moved the adoption of the
minority report, but Mr.. Bryan wa:
recognized and submitted a minorit,
report on the Illinois contests.
