National Convention Is marking time,
SO far as the nomination of candidates
and the adoption of platform is con
cerned. aud is passing through the
stages of organization and the throe5
of frenzied demonstrations. To-day was
marked chiefly by the turbulent on
thusiasm and bitter strife of party
leaders, the essential Developments of
the day being these;
Two sessions Of the convention
were held, the first at noon producing
Bryan demonstration breaking al
records in duration; the second to
night, bringing the elimination of tn
struggle over the credentials of the
Pennsylvania delegation and the SIT
premacy of the Pennsylvania leader,
Colonel Guffer who has been denounc-
ed by Bryan.
Committees Wire Busy,
Outside of the convention the com
mittees have proceeded with the ser.
ious work of preparing the way for
convention action The credentials

anti-Bryan Pennsylvania delegates,
thus reversing the complexion Of the
Pennsylvania delegation from ami
Bryan to Bryan, and preCipitating an
intense controversy which is being
fought out before the night session of
the convention,
Platform Still incomplete.
The platform is still in an incom-
plete condition and will not be pre-
sented until tomorrow, but its essen.
tial features are agreed upon and lit
tie remains but the details of phrase

All Records Smashed:
The early meeting of the convention
today was productive of little practical
progress as the principal committees
were not ready TO report. But ii had
the effect of the explosion of long pcrt
up Bryan enthusiasm, which took the
signal from Senator Cores eloquent
reference to the Nebraska leader, and
burst into whirlwind of enthusiastic
tribute lasting one hour and ~ min
utes, with seven minutes more of the
expiring echoes of the clamor estab
fishing a convention record of one
hour and 26 minutes, or full 80 min
utes in excess of the Roosevelt demon
stration at Chicago, which held 'he
record until today
Dramatic Demonstration.
It was a decisive exhibition of the
over-mastering strenth of the Bryan
column, and one of the most dramatic
convention pictures ever presented as
the standards of the states were torn
from their bearings and borne through
the hall, until they stood together on
the platform, like an army of ban
ners proclaiming their united ale
glance to Bryan.
Six States UnmoVed.
Amid this storm of Bryan demon

TIGERS AND CORNELL
ARE NOW ON THE OUTS.
Sever Football Relations, Fol-
lowing Years of Squab-
bling.

ITHACA, n. Y, Feb. 11-Following
disagreements covering a period of sew
eral years Cornell and Princeton have
severed football relations. This fact
was made known last night when Pres
ident Frank Irvine. Of the Athletic
Council gave out the following state
ment:
1T is true that there will be no foot
ball game between Cornell and Prince
ton next fall. A three cal agreement
made in 1905 has expired. Under this.
one game was played in Princeton, one
in New York and one in Ithaca. Prince
ton had the option of renewing this
agreement, but declined to do so. Cor
nell proposed n home and home agree
mcnt, the first meeting to be in Prince
ton. but Princeton declined to play
again in ithaca at any time, and pro-
posed first a one-year and then a two
year agreement for games in New York
and Princeton.
THE Cornell faculty and athletic
management both oppose contests In
large cities on grounds not belonging
to the competing universities. Fol- this
reason and because Princeton's pro-
posaI was deemed by Cornell and adj
mitted by Princeton to be inequitable
it was declined
President Irvine refused to say wha'
team would take Princeton's place II
Cornell's schedule.

PENN GETS ARMY
NAVY FOOTBALL GAME.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. 11.-As q re-
suit of the conference between repre-
sentatives of the Navy Athletic Asso-
citation. the Army Athletic Association
and the University of Pennsylvania in
Philadelphia yesterday it was settled
that the Army-Navy football game win
be played in Philadelphia again this
year, although it is not sure that IL
will be played on Franklin Field.
The university authorities have not
changed their determination not to
build a temporary stand, but they are
trying to- devise a plan by which the
tickets allotted to the two teams will
not be curtalled. If this can be done
the game will go back to Franklin
Field. 1t is proposed to put benches
around the field just inside the fence,
but this has not yet been settled.
Failing to get Franklin Field, the
Broad street baseball grounds will be
used. The owners will allow the use
of the field for the game either at a
definite sum or will allow each service
10000 seats and will offer the rest for
sale. the money received being by a
of rental for the grounds.

100 UMPIRES APPLY FOR
JOBS IN O. AND P. LEAGUE,

SHARON, Pa, Feb. li.-President
Charles Morton, of the Ohio and Penn
s~ylvania League. is worried e the
selection of capable umpires for his
staff. 1t Is almost an impossibisity to
get good men at the salary offered by
the minor leagues.
1t is questionable if there was ever a
better staff of umpires than President
Morton gathered together last season.
The staff of 1907, however, has been
scattered, and it is believed that when
the bell sounds at the opening of the
1905 season there will be all new arbi-
traitors.
Bill Bannon, considered the premier
of the STAFF, has advanced in the profess
sion and will draw just double the sal
ary he received last season by umpir-
ing In the Tristate League. Bill List
will be given a trial by President

MORIARITY WANTS AN
INCREASE IN SALARY,
Yankees Third Sacker Gets
Stung in Dealings
with Outlaws.

NEW YORK, Feb. lin a quiet, un-
assuming manner George Moriarity, the
chesty young third sacker of the High
landers, is making a play for an in
crease of salary. Reports have been
spread that George intended casting
his fortunes with the outlaw California
League, but these are untrue. MORT
arity has no intention of going with
the Coast renegades, but he will not
sign his contract with the New York
Americans until a higher figure is writ
ten in the document. Oddly enough, he
has not notified President Farrell that
the terms of the contract do not suit
him, the news reaching the ninth lloor
of the Flatiron building in a rounda-
about fashion.
Moriarity has written a friend here
that he wants a raise, n says ne
knows he needs one, n thinks he
ought to get it. He is well satisfied
I with his liberal treatment by the CLUB,
and probably would have been willing
to sign the contract sent him had he
not made a trip to the Coast last fall
ito pick up a little extra money playing
in the outlaw league of the Slope.
When Moriarity started for the Coast
the National Commission Il not taken
action against California's freelanee
league, but the moment he started
playing for Stockton b~asebalrs govern
ing body came out and warned the
players they would be liable to stif
fines if they kept on with the organiza.
ton.
Moriarity only stayed with the out
laws long enough to earn money
enough to pay the cost of his trip to
and from the coast, and now fears the
commission will soak him with a fine
for keeping on with them after he mad
been told to stop. He has told Chicago
friends (and one correspondent in this
city) that he won't be able to pay this
fine (as yet unassessed) out of his
salary and thinks the club ought to
stand 1t. Also, says George, 81 an just
about due to play the game of my life
