The burst Of feeling did not die
with adjournment, Long after there
was still a hint of it in the voices Of
the delegates.
The same bsiding undercurrents
ran through the deliberations OF the
committees. It was there with the
collapse of the move to prevent the
election OF Senator Glass, movement
that had the backing of William j.
Bryan.
Robinson Selection Fereseen.
Senator. Robinson's selection for
permanent chairman was more Of a
foregohe conclusion. No opposing
candidate had been selected.
The administration forces have now
strong grip on the machinery
which will write the confession Of
faith for the party's 1890 campaign.
There will be battles in committee
over many p1anks; but there was less
prospect today than at any time since
the convention leaders began to as
observers sehooled in the ways of
conventions Of an open fight on the
floor. Administration leaders APP
peared confident that differences eeuld
be ironed out in committee.
Mr.. Bryan has put forward the
league of nations plank on which he
would have the convention stand. 1t
declares for such reservations as are
necessary to secure ratification and Is
in sharp conflict with the position
taken before the. convention yestef-
day by National Chairman Cuinmihgs
in his keynote speech.
Cummings Lashes G. O. r.
Mr.. Cummings lashed at the atti-
tude of republican senators in the
treaty fight, charging that they had
sought notification, not reservations.
He declared that no reservation not
aimed at the life of the covenant
ministration and the administration
forces in the convention are expected
to cling to that line.

York delegation who struggled With
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt to prevent him carrying the
state standard in the demonstration
for the President. There was a live
a foot ball game, in which fsts were
flying, and there seemed danger of
bloody noses. A policeman who In
terfered got pumrneling, one man
had his coat dragged off and several
men lost their nose-glasses. No one
changed their mind and Roosevelt
triumphantly marched off with the
New York standard to join the Will
son demonstration.
The session left behind it echoes OF
"gag rule" charges and assertions
that if floor battle were insisted upon
| by the New Workers the party's chances
at the polls would be ruined.

cuts, bruises and shock.
The train stopped abruptly with a
terrific crash. which was followed by
darkness as fuse blew out. The ex-

scattered money in the change booths
and caused attendants to spread an
alarm OF a tunnel collision. Police re-
serves and ambulances were sent to the
scene.
Because Of the darkness, the fright
ened passengers were unaware that the
station platform had been reached. A
wild scramble to get out of the coaches

body's playing them. The collection
y OF big war profits and the building
up OF new fortunes throughout the
world has resulted in a greatly in
creased demand for diamonds in America
in Europe-in the far Orient. Buyers are
not lacking in the lands of the supposedly
crushed central Powers. Only actually
and terribly crushed Russia does not join
in the demand.
New and interesting data relative to con-
dtions in the diamond trade are new
available in report written for Volume
NXV1I. of Mineral Industry" by DIR.
George Frederick kunz, the we'll known
gem expert, of this city. This report tells
of a great increase in the sale of dia-
monds in the United States due to pur-
chases by classes of people that have
never acquired precious stones before.
All the heavy demand indicated Is in de-
spite of the fact that the rough diamond
at the mines has gone up three times in
value in the last three decades and the
enhanced cost of marketing and cutting
has been more than as much again, with
the result that retail prices have steadily
increased. The De Beers reports. quoted
in DR.. Kunz's article, show that while the
value of diamonds per carat at the mines
was only $3.50 i'm 1889 in 1918 it was SIC 49,
figures lot HDIle Oh tic iflDOFlanl
years between these two dates are:-19oo
ss2; 1906. sl119; 1910. s9.9s; 1913, s14.22; 1915
1907, and 1915, $685.
AS for the marketablity of diamonds
here. DIR. kunz writes:-
1.-THE great increase in the sale OF dia-
monds is due to the purchases by all
classes. for never have tho iaborinr
classes had moro money, especially in the
case of shipyard workers. among muni-
tions workers. in farming districts a,
ports of embarkation, and notably in the
large cities near which camps are located -
The effect on Americas import trade in
precious stones was enough TO make its
total for 1910 four and a half million dol
lars more than it was at the beginning OF
the war. This fact is pointed out in the
report, which says
THE recoil from the high water mark
that characterized the returns for 1917 was
contiued in those for 1915 Where the full
effects OF the heavy war expenses and the
greatly increased taxes cessitated there

so the precious stone imports were larger
by si.5oo,0oo in 1918 than they had been IN
1914. the first year of the European war.

uonds OF 1917 was S,32i.aSs more than that
