Of the audience, which will conceal the
stage as effectively as could any opaque
curtain. When the performance Is
about TO begin the amphitheatre lights
will gradually diminish, and the stage
lights will take their place. Through
out the performance there will be no
visible light upon or among the spec
tators. The aisles and corridors will
be illuminated by means Of small blue
incandescent lamps placed close to the
floor. Thus, while all the entrances and
exits will be perfectly visible, there
will be no light to interfere with the
visual effect Of the performance.
An Orchestra Of Eighty.
The choral and incidental music for
the production has been composed by
Arthur Farwell and scored for an or
chestra of eighty pieces, which will be
concealed within the stage. The music,
both choral and instrumental, will be
directed by Louis Koemmenich. con-
ductor Of the New York Oratorio So
ciety.

cludes some twenty speaking parts,

especially such as have distinguished
themselves In Shakespearian and other
poetic drama. Among them are Edith
Wynnc Matthison, as Miranda; Lionel
Braham, as Calban; John Drew, as

pero; Hedwig Reicher, as Cleopatra,

part are Robert Mantell, Thomas Wise,
David Bispham, Fred Lewis, Fred Eric,
Gladys Hanson, Margaret Wycherly,

Z ST. LOUIS. Mo-. June 16.-Un-
measured denunciation of the hyphen-

ing of democracy's achievements dur
ing the past three years, promise Of
additional labor legislation, fervid
endorsement Of Americanism and
preparedness-these were the prin-
cipal planks in the platform submit
ted to the democratic national con-
mittee that wound up a continuous
twenty-five hour session full Of fight
and pepper.
Woman's suffrage, one Of the princi-
pal bones OF contention, was held to
be state issue and not one for de-
cision by a constitutional amend
ment. 1t was lengthy document.
Twenty-Five "planks" constituted it,

in about 5000 words.
The platform held revolving" the
thought of Intervention in Mexico.
; The fight on the platform started at
10 O'Clock Thursday night. Three
changes were made In the draft as
submitted by the president. They
were on suffrage Mexican, and tariff
planks. The main fight came on the
declarations as to suffrage and Mex
leo, but with the draft completed,
Senator Stone announced the presi-
dent thoroughly approved the docu-
ment as finally drawn.
The fight on suffrage lasted five or
six hours. 1t was between the west
ern and southern states. Judge King,
of Oregon. Judge Raker, of California
and Senator Pittman, led the fight for
a thorough going endorsement.
Governor Ferguson and Governor
Stanley OF Kentucky. led the fight
against it. The opposition was large

garded as distinctly unsatisfactory
by leaders of the women's party and
congressional union.

CHICAGO, June 16.-Wheat-A
heavy tone prevailed in wheat after a
moderate bulge. Another reduction
IN Liverpool prices resulted in sharp
decline in ocean freights and the
break in values abroad was regarded
as signal for selling on the part of
local bears. Weather conditions were
not entirely favorable, being showery
in the southwest, where harvesting
Is in progress. Estimated weekly
clearances are over eleven million
bushel. The proportion of domestic
wheat not being given. On breaks
like that of today, think the investor
would do we'll to take the buying side.
Corn-The country offered corn
more freely today, which took the
edge off the bullish feeling here. The
leading bull interests bought the July
and September. The possibility of
an increased run also led to consid-
cradle volume Of commission house
profit taking on long corn. Peoria
reports purchase of liberal quantity
on over night bids. The quantity
of corn attracted by recent advance
in prices indicates large reserves and
an expected willingness on the part
of the farmer to sell during the busy
season.
Oats-Liquidation In July oats
brought a sharp break in that deliv-
cry. While the deferred futures were
fairly firm. Rain and cool weather
which up to this time has been con-
sidered very favorable for large crop
are resulting in fine growth but some
apprehension is expressed, unless
summer weather arrives shortly, crop
will be damaged more or less by wet
ground.
Modern Miller says: Weather has
been very favorable for the winter
wheat plant, with the surplus mois-
ture and cool weather tending to on
set damage by Hessian fly. The loss
from this insect will not be as severe
as it would have been under ordinary
conditions. The harvesting OF wheat
is under way as far north as south
ern Illinois, and the yield Is about as
expected. The Kansas prospects are
generally placed at a figure below
100 million bushels, with harvesting
to commence early next week. Spring

Economy and the Budget.
We demand careful economy on all
expenditures for the support OF the
government and to that end favor the
return by the house Of representatives
to its former practice of initiating
and preparing all appropriation bills
through single committee chosen
from it's membership in order that re-
sponsibility may be conferred, expedi.
tious standards made uniform and
waste and duplication in the public
service as much as possible avoided.
We favor this as a practicable first
step towards budget system.
Civil Service.
We reaffirm our declarations for
the rigid enforcement of the civil
service laws.
Philippines.
We heartily endorse the provisions
OF the bill recently passed by tina
house further promoting self govern
ment in the Philippine islands as be-
ing in fulfillment of the policy de-
clared by the democratic party in the
last national platform and we reiter-
ate our Endorsement of independence
for the Philippines expressed in the
preamble of that measure.
Woran's Suffrage.
We recommend extension OF tho
franchise to women of the country by
the states, on the same basis as men.
Citizenship.
We again declare the policy that
sacred rights of American citizenship
must be preserved at home and
abroad and no treaty with any govern
ment shall receive sanction of our
government not expressly -ecog1iz-
ing absolute equality of all our citi-
zens irrespective of race, creed or
