STAPLE GRADE BONDS
POPULAR IN MARKET.
Liberty 8 1-2s and Treasury 4 las

Group a Feature.
BY GEORGE e. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 5.-Trading in
today's bond market was a matter of
picking out issues which had not par
ticipated up to this time in the ad
vance of the past few weeks. In the
United States government list it was
the liberty 3ias and the Treasury4A s
which were in greatest demand. The
former made a new high record for
the year and the latter approached
the record high made the middle of
last month. All the other liberty
loans were active and higher.
British Interest Payment Rumor.
Dispatch from Washington stated
that the expectation was that Great
Britain would make the interest pay
ment of s69,0OO,O0o due June Is in
gold this time instead of in liberty
boads as heretofore. The market
price Of libertys 10 longer makes it
profitable for the British to make
payment in bonds. Meanwhile the
money market today was a trifle
easier and the demand for bonds
strengthened accordingly
In the high-grade railroad group,
Lehigh Valley Consolidated 41as ran
up to new high for the year on
approximately 5 per cent basis.
Chlcago' Burlington and Quincy re-
IuhdinS 5s equaled the high OF the
year and among the industrials
united states Steel sinking fund SIS
did the same.
interest in speculative rails was
confined to selected issues. Wheeling
and Lake Erie 4las were active
around 62. The road made remark

present indications are that fixed

BERLIN, June 2s-Romance suf-
among the nobility when the German
empire was transformed into re-
public, but with the sta biliZation of
the rentenmark sympathetic imag-
fnativeneSs is coming into life again
in the younger circles of the titled
classes, who theoretically and tech

among the former ruling sets was the
Chlodwig Julis Alevos Wilhelm Helm
rich Won Lippe to F'raulein Charlotte
Richen, an actress. The young woman
comes from Detmold, which was for

BY WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE.

NEW YORK. June cs.-All day the
throng in the Garden was quiet. The
speech of Homer Cummings, chair
man Of the committee on resolutions.
came like the toll Of a great bell in
the night.
We are wondering" he said.
about the future of the Democratic
party" and when he told the conven-
ton that the resolutions committee
had been praying a note of solemnity
was sounded that gave American
politics the greatest thrill it has had
since the Republican party was split
by the Roosevelt speech calling the
progressives to Armageddon.
During the adjournment delegates
and visitors We're serious and the
spirit of festival that had been in the
air for a week vanished The con-
vention reassembled at 4 o'clock, as
sober faced a crowd as has come to-
gether in this generation. The gall
leries, packed to hear the debate
upon the platform, realized that great
played gay tunes. but nothing could
restore that gala spirit that had gone
from the Garden.
Hush Falls on Crowd.
Chairman Cummings began to read
the platform; a hush fell upon the
crowd, and then all over the house.
The people in the galleries, looking
down into the floor of the convention,
saw hundreds Of blue-coated police
men quietly moving down the aisles.
Trouble was brewing. AS the reading
OF the platform proceeded the nerves
of the crowd lost their tension, for
the two disputed planks in the plat
form were put in the tail end of the
document. The delegates realized as
the reading of the platform proceed
ed that they were hearing a liberal
platform, challenge to the Republi-
can position, but a fumbling liberal
platform, in which many liberal dec
1arations were made vague by either
lack of intelligence or lack of
courage.
Certain straddles were inevitable.
Upon the railway question the dec
troll OF coal, oil and other ore prod
ucts the recommendations were not
satisfactory to even a mild liberal.
Liberal Mt Heart.
Yet the cheers of the convention
proved the crowd genuinely liberal
in it's sympathies. 1t gave evidence of
