AMUNDSEN REPORTED SEEN
Scalcr Without Radio Sends Message
 By Another Ship It Saw Plane on Ice F1oe.

Berlin, June .7 R>-A second version containing additional details of q report received in Norway that the plane of Roald Amundsen was sighted by a Norwegian sealer on June 20 is contained in special dis patch from Tromsoe to the Lokal Anzeiger.
 This states that . telegram was received from Archangelsk, Russia, stating that the Norwegian sealer, whose name was not mentioned, had sighted the long, missing plane on an ice foe southeast of North East Land. Dense ice prevented the ap- proach of the sealer, but the crew of the plane could be seen through telescope repairing the machine.
 AS the vessel was without radio it handed its message to q Russian steamer which in turn sent 1t by wireless to Archangelsk.
 Roald Amundsen accompanied by Lief Dietrichsen, Norwegian explor- CT, left Norway on the night of June IS in a French plane piloted by Commander Rene Guilbaud and manned by three French airmen. The plane had been offered to Amundsen by the French govern- ment as part of relief measures for the missing Mobile party.
 The report that the plane was sighted on June 20 may be true since the flight to Spitzbergen normally should have taken about seven hours. There were also rumors that Amundsen planned to fly directly to North East Land in order to reach the stranded Mobile party which has been marooned for more than a month near Foyne Island just off the North East Land coast.
 There have been several rumors previously that Amundsen's plane was sighted by the two Russian Ice breakers now in Spitzbergen waters, but these reports were denied in Moscow.

 The definite moulding of the platform will come tonight when members of the resolutions commit. tee meet in private. Their product will be offered to the convention tomorrow.
 Session Tonight
 Meanwhile. it is planned to have a convention session tonight at which nominating speeches will be- gin.
 Convention delegates took their time in arriving at the hall today. Many had celebrated into the small hours of the morning; and others preferred to be leisurely with their cool baths in hotel rooms equipped with big fans.
 But long before the crowds swept ihlV lAiC lIA6C NolloCoHl, tHSlO "do fun-making. The bands tried out their old favorites and choir Of Virginia negroes filled the hall with the melody of spirituals.
 By the Associated Press.
 A delegate contest from Louisiana furnished the high point of the purely formal part of the morning proceedings. Everyone agreed in advance that the Smith majority could smother the challenge that had been made against the right of Colonel Robert Ewing and his fellow Louisianans to sit in the convention but his political oppo- nents in the state insisted on mak- ing their fight.
 While the convention was going into its second day the platform committee was at work in another part of town hearing the conflicting views of vets and drys and seeking compromise. Committeeman were doubtful whether the platform would be ready in time for cons,d- eration at a night session.
 Dusky Chorus
 Nearly an hour before the time set for converting the forenoon ses- sion. another touch of the revival spirit was given the assembling convention by very dusky chorus of jubilee singers, who took the platform 100 strong and poured out such old plantation spirituals as De Heat ob de May" "Jes' Like John" and a dozen others. Their mixed voices filled the huge hall. drowning the hum of the big ven tilating fans whihc worked vainly, even in the almost empty hall. to churn the hot, gummy air into a semblance of life.
 The negro singers made every minor chord and plaintive intonation tell where a 50 piece military brass band was all but lost in the general noise.

BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

July 81, IS61.--A great battle all along
the line was fought today a; Bull Run,
Va, between the Union and Confederate
armies. The firing was heard In this
city from the direction OF Bull Run
from IL o'clock this morning until about
o'clock this afternoon. Then, after
| a cessation until nearly 5 o'clock, the
sound was again heard. The reverber-
ating of the cannon was audible up to
o'clock tonight.
Early official reports reaching the
city were all favorable to the Union
side, but since about 3 o'clock no official
dispatches have been available. A ru-
NOR is spreading through the city that
the Union army under Gen. Mcdowell
has suffered a heavy reverse and Is fall
ing back In disorder toward Washing
ton This cannot be verified and may
be entirely erroneous, especially as other
reports indicate that Mcdowell mad
completely routed the Confederates
from their entrenched positions at Bull
Run.
Oflcial telegraphic dispatches were
received during the battle from the tele-
graph station about four miles from
Bull Run Apparently the conflict was
most desperate and bloody. lasting nine
hours Early reports told of the VIC
IOrlQiS ADVANCE Oh tIlS OHlOU tTOOpS
against the Confederate positions. Sew
eral masked Confederate batteries were
reported taken after terrific fighting
and with heavy losses on both sides
The headquarters of the Army were
inaccessible tonight. President Lincoln
and the cabinet were privately meeting
with Gen. Scott and his staff and other
distinguished gentlemen.
A number of members of Congress
and even ladies went to the neighbor-
hood of Bull Run to witness the bat
tie One of these Congressman reports
that Col. Hunter of the Sd Cavalry
acting as major general, was seriously
and perhaps mortally wounded. It is
also stated that Col. Cameron of the
18th. brother of the Secretary of War,
and Col Slocum OF. the End Rhode
Island Regiment were killed in action.
1t is believed that the late news re-
ceived at Army headquarters tonight
but not given out to the public. was
not so encouraging as the early reports.
