day strongly indorsed the standard bearer
of the Democratic party in the Presidential cam
paigp OF 1908 by the Democratic State Convention.
which adjourned without day this afternoon
There were only two occasions in which Bryan :
name mentioned during the day, and these were
when the resolutions were read a whole and
when the planks were adopted separately. In both
instances his was cheered repeatedly, and the
words Bryan! Bryan! Bryan! Three cheers for
Bryant brought forth a tumult of applause which
continued some time before the chairman could
restore order.
The plank of the platform that came in for the
most debate was that bearing on municipal owner
ship. National Committeeman Timothy Z. Ryan
fought hard against the adoption OF the plank, but
he had few supporters.
Among other things the platform demands enr
fOrCement of the statutes against all trusts, com
bnations and monopOlies, favors revision of the
present tariff and favors election of United States
Senators by direct vote In the section of the
platform dealing with state matters the report
favors a mile maximum passenger rail-
road rate, taxation on the ad valorem basis and
amendments to the primary election law.

gressional Record. When he concluded Senator
Carter asked unanimous consent that the conf
Dental report of the committee on this case and
all the documents pertaining thereto be made
public, and this was done.
The time spent on the Public Buildings bill was
occupied IN the main by efforts on the part OF
Senators to secure increases Of the amounts
allotted for public buildings in cities and towns
OF their states. In no instance of this character
they successful. but in the case OF san
Juan, Porto Rico. Senator Foraker secured an
advance from 100000 10 $300,O01. There was
general confidence that many Of the defects
complained of would be remedied in conference.

done, if YOU like; you can buy slave and give him
his liberty"
And what happens then, Hadj Hameds"

The slave would sell himself back into slavery
replied the old man. What else would he do, seeing
that since master the Sultan left the city and
free men? 1t IS bad thing be a slave if you
hungry better live enslaved than be free to die.
At last the stream OF buyers shrank to slender
proportions. Soon the last buyer seemed to have
taken his place and then l group of men,
obviously of another class, who had been ranged
round the doorway talking with the officials, moving
toward the center of the arena.
They are the diLdIS," said my companion the
auctioneers. They have brought the slaves TO the
market on behalf of their owners. They will offer
them for sale, and out of the price small fee goes
to the seller. That is how they live. Some in
deed, to whom Allah has given honed tongue, are
rich "
The diidIS moved at slow pace toward the center
of the market and ranged themselves in long line,
a tall man of rather more than middle age in the
center. When all in their places this raised
his voice and started curious prayer He began by
testifvng the Unity of Allah who had made the
Heaven and the earth and ali that seemed good to
him therein He went to curse Satan, who con-
tInued to wage hopeless war against the and
only God. Then he praised the patron saint of the
city, Sid bel Abbas, who in the days of his earthly
pilgrimage stood for forty years one leg praying
all the time for the sinful Marraksh1S and he asked
him to give buyers and sellers prosperous markets,
excellent profits, and length of DAYS. To all these
prayers the assembled BUYERS, mOtiOnless in their
places, responded with Amen until the last petit
ton had been offered and the head dLaPS hands, SO
long raised to the sky, once more by his side.

looks down upon it, and wayfarers
moving across a neighborlng square

the ground, sometimes on fallen
pieces OF the old arcade, wealthy

humble donkey, and countless
attendants all seeking to serve
their masters and shouting at

to be hoping against hope that
