a large picture Of Roosevelt from the
gallery and attempted to turn the en-.
thusiasm to the colonel. She succeed
ed to some extent, temporarily, at
least. After she had led the cheering
from the gallery for several minutes
she was taken to the platform and
held the attention of the convention
for a quarter Of an hour longer.
1t was nearly an hour from the time
the demonstration started before the
tumult had sufficiently subsidized to
enable the convention to resume bust
ness. fesh
Mr.. Watson then took the floor and
explained that Governor Hadley was
willing the contests should be re-
ferred to the credentials committee.
Comes to Test Vote.
He said he would so move, with the
assurance that Governor Deneen of
Illinois would submit an amendment
providing that the delegates, the le-
gality of whose selection was ques-
toned, should not be allowed a voice
in the selection of the members of the
credentials committee, or that they
would have no vote on the adoption Of
the report of the credentials commit
tee.
Watson moved to table the amend
ment, which was done by vote of
564 to $40. Governor Hadley's original
motion to refer to the credentials COM
mittee was then carried, after which
the chair ruled that the contested
delegates from any state could not
vote on the report Of the credentials
committee covering their state, but
those seated by the national commit
tee could vote on the report on other
than their own state.
Delegates Mount Their Chairs.
At the beginning of the demonstra-
ton more than half the delegates
mounted their chairs. Hats were
swinging and handkerchiefs were wav-
ing while Hadley and Watson, repre-
senting the two great factions of the
party, stood smiling side by side.
Cheering alone proved insufficient.
California, one of the storm centers
Of the convention, unfurled its two
gilded banners, and as this action
brought quick response in increased
cheering, the delegates started to
march around the Enclosure.
That was the signal. Other Roose-
welt delegations followed and then
before long nearly every state was
in line. Illinois, slow to
start, finally yielded to the spell Of
the hour, and it, too, took place in
the procession. Ten minutes passed
and then twenty. The half hour was
struck and still the delegates. rein

come to the conclusion that Chicago

merely were preparing for an all day,

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Alarming
news Of widespread revolt in Santo
Damingo was received by the state
department today. Minister Furniss
at Port au Prince, Haiti, reported that
Gajabon, on the frontier between Haiti
and Santo Domingo, had been captur-
ed by the rebels after battle lasting
fourteen hours, in which the rebels
are reported to have lost 800 men
Gajabon is considered a point of
vantage for the invasion of either Hal
ii or San Domingo. 1t is feared here
that the action may precipitate open
war between Haiti and Santo Domin-
go, which has been threatening for
some time.
The custom house in Gajabon is in
charge of an American, and there are
many other Americans residing in that
city and vicinity whose lives and pro-
perty may be endangered.

MINE HORROR
IN GERMANY

BERLIN, Aug S.-A terrific explo-

Iery It Gerthe while $50 men were at
work Rescue parties soon brought
"ht injured miners to the surface
J Ut after seven hours further explora-
tion the fate of the other miners was
still unknown.
Because of the great force OF the ex-
Lios.on It was feared that none es-
capped unscathed. The only hope lay in
the fact that the workings of the
miners were CT great length, which
ctered the possibility that the men
in the inside shafts might have escap-
cd.
Up to a late hour this afternoon one
hundred and thirty one miners had
been accounted for. OF this number
twenty cig1t were dead, fifteen mortal
~ injured, and all of the others badly
hurt. Fears We're expressed late today
that the death list would go into the
hundreds.
