ST. Louis, July 25. The populist
national cou vention adjourned at 4 P,
M., after lymrijf eqdiirseii' Bryari for
president, regardless of his refusal to
accept. ' . '
ST. LOUIS, July 24. Last night's
session of the populUt convention
was carried far Into the ntgl.t. The
Bryan supporters are jubilant, as they
demonstrated, after a division of tbe
convention, that they had a majority
of 194. They perfected their perma
nent organization, installed their can
didato, Senator Allen of Nebraska, as
permanent chairman, and took charge
of the machinery of the convention.
The announcement of Allen's elec
tion was a signal for an uproarious
Bryan demonstration, which lasted 18
minutes. Senator Allen's speech t-s
permanent chairman occupied oyer an
hour. In many respects it was bitter
enough to suit the most radical. When
he had finished the convention ad
journed. The populist convention was called
to order this morning at 10:05 o'clock,
with most of the delegates in their
seats.
An Ohio delegate presented tbe con
vention with a gavel composed of 60
pieces, 43 different kinds of wood, rep
resenting each state and territory.
.The committee on rules and order of
business presented majority and minor
ity reports.' The minority report rec
ommends that the nomination forvice
president be made prior to that of
president.
"Gerry Brown of" Massachusetts,
author of the minority report provid
ing for priority vote for vice-president,
moved the adoption of the report.
-A roll call of the states was taken to
decide whether the president or vice
president be voted upon first, and the
minority report nominating the vice'
president firs4 was adopted by a small
majority. Tne official vote was 783 to
615. :
, General Weaver, tbe chairman of
the committee an platform and resolu
T tions, teifea!nevyowaMia1Sirffaif'
reading the platform. He was greeted
with enthusiastic cheering. The
platform is long. It denounces the
gold power and demands that national
money, issued by tbe government only,
shall be fml legal tender for all debts
public and privatfl. . It . demands the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
a ratio of 16 to 1. It demands that no
bonds be issued except by act of con
gress, and that the election of presi
dent, vice-president and United States
senators be by direct vote of the
people. The platform demands the
recognition of Cuba as an independent
nation; favors direct legislation by the
initiative and referendum - system;
recognizes that finanoial reform is the
paramount- question and invites all
people to co-operate with them to that
end. . . 1 .,
General Coxey offered a minority re
port. A portion of it was read. It
was fashioned after tbe declaration of
independence, and created laughter
among the delegates.
The majority report on platform was
adopted and the chair declared nomi
nations for vice-president in order.' .
ST. Louis, July 25. Shortly before
1. A. M. tbe convention adjourned
after having nominated Thomas F.
Watson, of Georgia, for vice-president.
There were five other candidates-
Sewell, Magee, of Virginia, Mimms, of
Tennessee, Congressman Skinner, of
North Carolina, and Colonel Burkett,
of Missouri. - -- . ..:
The nomination was made unani
mous before the result of the roll-call
was announced.
Bryan sent word! to his supporters
that he would ootaoctpt a nomination
at the bands of the convention under
these circumstances," -'He .will -stand
loyally by his running mate.
THE? ENDORSE. EVERYTHING. .
Th SUvar Men Endorse Bryan, Bewail and
the Democratic Flatforra.
ST. Louis, July 24. The' silver con
vention was called to order at 10:46 this
morning. A poll of the former polit
ical affiliations of the delegates to this
convention gives the following results:
Republicans, 526, democrats, 135, popu
lists, 47, prohibition, 9,' greenback, 1,
independent, 13. '
Senator Stewart, of 'Nevada, was
called upon to address the convention-
Hls remarks were directed against the
gold bugs and money sharks of Wall
street and the bondholders of the East
ern states and England. . His reference
to Bryan was greeted' with' loud and
prolonged cheers. " ' '
A roll call was ordered to show the
number of United States veterans in
each delegation. ' The roll call showed '
198 union soldiers, 18 confederate sol
diers and four Mexican veterans in
the convention.
A motion to proceed with the nomi
nation of a president was carried.
' Considerable' time was taken up by
the delegates in five-minute speeches.
Congressman Towne, of Minnesota,
said the nomination of Bryan by; this
convention would bring to the silver
standard the patriotic and loyal sup
port of all the friends of silver a sup
port that could not. be controlled by
any other candidate. . He moved that
Bryan be nominated by acclamation.
The motion was carried amid tumult
uous applause. Tbe delegates stood on
their ohairs waving flag and banners.
while tbe bands played national airs.
Mr,.Troops of Connecticut, presented
the name of SewaU for vice-president
and this called forth another demon
stration. "
Amotion was made that Sewall be
nominated by acclamation, and it was
carried with a rush.
A motion was made and carried that
this convention, after adjournment
go in a body to the people's party con
vention and notify them of the action
taken by this convention.
Tbe platform adoptjd says: "Inas
much as the patriotic majority' of the
Chicago convention embodied in the
financial - plank of its platform the
principles enunciated by the American
bimetalic party, promulgated at Wash'
ington, D. C, January 22, 1898, and
herein reiterated, which is not only
the paramount but the only real issue
in the pending campaign, therefore
recotrnlzing that their nominees e!'
ooay these patriotic, principles, we
recommend that this convention nomi
nate W. Ji Bnan of Nebraska," for
president and Arthur Sewall of Maine
for vice president."

the initiative and referendum. The
currency will be the pivot around
which the majority of the speeches
will revolve, and the women that will

point of attack.
Mrs. Roberts made a speech in the
convention seconding (he nomination
of Bryan, and, in the five minutes that
she was before the convention, won
for herself the reputation of being one
of the most forcible and logical speak
ers that has ever addressed a populist
gathering.
"Cyclone" Davis wu discussing the
outcome of the convention with a party
of friends in the Lindell corridors yes
terday. He said:
There were a thousand men in that
convention who differed with me, and
there could have been but one result
the selection of Bryan. It was a case of
either making them believe they were
wrong and myself and my little band
of 250 were right, or give up. We had
to gi ve up, of course. We were not all
statesmen, and the thousand on the
Other side were neither fools 'nor trai
tors. ' We concluded they were right."

FINANCE.
First We demand a national monev,
safe and sound, issued by the general
government only, without the inter
vention of banks of issue, to be a full
legal tender for ail debts, public and
private; a just, equitable and efficient
means of distribution direct to the
people and through the lawful dis
bursements of tbe government.
Second We demand the free ana
unrestricted coinage of silver and gold
at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1,
and without waiting for the conaent
of foreign nations.
Third We demand that the volume
of circulating medium be speedily in-
reased to an amount sufficient to
meet the demands of tbe business and
the population of this country, and to
restore the just level of prices ana
labor production.
Fourth We denounce the sale of
bonds and the Increase of the public
interest-bearing debt, made by the
present administration, as unneces
sary and without authority of law, and
we demand that no more bonds be
issued except by specific action of con
gress. Fifth We demand such legislation
will prevent the demonetizing of
the lawful money of the United States
by private contract. '
Sixth We demand that the govern
ment, in payment of its obligations,
shall use its option as to the kind of
lawful money In which they are to be
paid, and we denounce the present and
preceding administrations for surren
dering this option to the holders of
government obligation securities. ;.
Seventh We demand a graduated
income tax, to the end that aggregate
wealth shall bear its just proportion of
taxation, and we regard the recent de
cision of the supreme court, relative to
the income-tax law, as a misinterpre
tation of the constitution, an invasion
of the rightful powers of congress on
the subjeotof taxation. ' .
Eighth We demand . that postal
savings banks be established : by the
government for the safe deposit of the
savings of the people and to facilitate
ixohange.-- ;. .:-.

TRANSPORTATION.
First Transportation belngameans
of exchange and apublioneceuelty,1 the
government should own and operate
the railroads in tbe interest of the
people on a nonpartisan basis, to. the
end that all may be accorded the same
treatment In transportation, and that
the tyranny of political. . power, now
exercised by tbe great railroad cor
porations, which result in the impair
ment, if not the destruction of the
political rights ' and personal liberty
of the citizen may be destroyed. ' Such
ownership is to be accomplished grad
ually in a manner consistent with
sound public policy.
Second Tbe interest of the United
States in the public highways built
with public moneys' and the proceeds
of extensive grants of land to the
Pacifio railroads should never have
been alienated, mortgaged or sold, but
guarded and protected for the general
welfare as provided by the laws organ
izing such railroads. The foreclosure
of existing liens of the United States
on these roads should at once follow
default in the payment thereof by the
debtor companies, and at the foreclos
ure sales of said roads the government
should purchase the same, it it becomes
necessary to protect its interests, or if
they can be purchased at a reasonable
price, and the government shall oper
ate said railroads as public highways
for the benefit of the whole people, and
not in the interest of the few, under
suitable provisions for protection of
life and 'property, giving to all the
transportation interests equal privi
leges and equal .rates for fares and
freights.. .. .
Third -We denounce tbe present in
famous schemes for refunding the said
debts, and demand that the laws now
applicable thereto be executed and ad
ministered ' according to their true
intent and spirit. - J '
' Fourth Tbe telegraph, like the post
office system, being a necessity for the
transaction of news, should be owned
and operated by the government in
tbe interest of the people.
- ; LAND.. -
First The true polloy demands that
tbe national and state legislation shall
be such as will ultimately enable every
prudent , and industrious citizen to
secure a borne, and therefore the land
should not be monopolized for specula
tive purposes. ' All lands now beld by
railways and other corporations in ex
cess of their actual needs should, by
lawful means, be reclaimed by the gov
ernment and held for actual settlers
only, and private land, monopoly, as
well aa alien ownership, should be
prohibited. - - ;
8econd We condemn the frauds by
which the land grants to Pacific rail
road companies have, through the con
nivance of tbe interior department,
robbed multitudes of bona fide settlers
of their homes and miners of their
claims, and we demand legislation by
congress which will enforce the ex
emption of mineral . land from such
grants after, as well as before, patent
ing . Third We demand that bona-fide
settlers on all public lands be granted
free homes, a provided in the national
homestead law, and that no exception
be made in tbe case of Indian reserva
tions when opened for settlement, and
that all lands not now patented oome
under this demand.

GENERAL PROPOSITIONS.
First We demand the eleotlon of
president., vice-president and United
States senators by direct vote of the
people.
Second We tender to the patriotic
people of Cuba our deepest sympathy
in their struggle for political freedom
and independence, and we believe the
time has come when the United 3tates,
the great republic of the world, should
recognize that Cuba is, and of right
ought to be, a free and independent
state.
inira we favor borne rule in the
territories aud the District of Colum
bla, and the parly admission of the ter
ritories as states.

Sixth The arbitrary course of th
court in assuming to imprison citizens
for indirect con temp and ruling tbem
by injunction should be prevented by

Seventh We favor jut pensions for
every disable Union soldier.
Eighth Believing that the election
irancnise and untrammeled ballot are
essential to a government of, for and
by tbe people, tbe people's party con
demns the wholesale system of disfran
chisement adopted In some of tbe states
as unrepubllcan and undemocratic
and we declare it to be the duty of the
several state legislatures to take such
action as will secure a full and free and
fair ballot and an honost count
Ninth While the foregoing propo
sltions constitute the platform which
our -party stands upon and for the vin

question, and upon this great and spe
cific issue between tbe parties we cor
dially invite the aid and co-operation
Vol all organizations and citizens agree'

; New York, July 27. W. P. St. John,
treasure of the national silver party,
returned today from the fit. Louis
convention. He said:
"The national silver party has accep
ted an invitation from Baltimore mer
chants to notify Messrs. Bryan and
Sewall, in the city of Baltimore. The
notification will be made about 14 days
after the democratic notification in
New York. Tbe place of headquarters

we would select Washington. ; What'
ever he does will be followed by the
silver party.
"In state and municipal affairs the
national silver party will not move.
This will leave the republicans to vote
their own state ticket, but the national
silver party will have a congressional
candidate in every district where the
democratic nominee favors the gold
standard."

A HOLE THROUGH THE
EARTH.
Where Would Ball
Dropped :Inta . It
Come to a Btopf
' "W. JL J.,7 residing at Jilchinond,
Mo., sends the fdlloMny peculiar query
to the editcr of the St Louis EcrubUd,
and asks fcr en uncwer tottn . .
If it wore possiblo to drill -a bole of
a foot or mora la dia motor entirely
through tho earth and ttion to start a
boll wclghinj ono hundred pound or
mora to falling through ths tame at
what point would It stop?". ' 1 ' - .
Answer: Weight,-in the eensw -that
"W. J. M." rcfora to it, is the moaauxe .
of attraction of gravitation; or, la
other words, it ta the measure of .foroe
with which a body ia attracted by the
earth. .This attractive. forco docroasee
both ways from the surface of the
earth, both outward : into ' spoon . or
downward toward tho globe' supposed
molten center. In partial explanation
of this assertion I will say that any
given size bulk of iron, or-, any .other
mineral or . material whatever, will
weigh less on tho top of a high moun
tain than it will at sea level. - Iaxn-der
to be exact In this matter I will say
that a mass of one thousand pound
weight will lose exactly two fjouada
between tidewater and the top., of a
mountain four miles high. , This, , it i
plain to be seen, is because the force
of the earth' attraction is much1 less '
on the mountain top than it is at th
sea levoL. v . ?. t ; I fu
Therefore, if a ball be started on the
journey outlined in the query aeat in
by. ,our CIchmond friend, it weight
would doBrea&e to a certain extent with
every yard of its flight (or ' fall), until,
finally, upon reaching the centor of the
earth. It would have ' no appreciable
weight the attraction, at . that point
acting equally in every direction. ;Thi
being true, it is plain that the - phe
nomenon of what wo know a "weight'
would be entirely ' wanting, and th
ball would be held ' in suspensidn a -though
immovably - transfixed by nunv
eraus magnetic .or invisible point

it is. ' ' - .
A prosperous business man who em
ploys quite a number ot clerks said re

clusion .that the young man who saved

it. was, that tUey""Would oonfoas they
hadn't saved a dollar, and . had no
means whatever upon which to live.
This same man also observed that
the married men nearly all had saved
ftuncthir., - notwithstanding thoir
iu ics were no larpcr, ar.il in some
cases leas, than those drawn by tingle
men: ,
By quizzing these young bachelors
he found that riotous living . was the
principal cause of "their" poverty.
Some- ft them gambled on the quiet,
and ctht-n just naturally let it no
right aud left as long aa there was any
to go.
Irom this he concluded that mar- .

man, provided he marrioa a sensible.

he'r)ro;oses to give married men the
preference because, in so doing, he will

BUILDING A HOUSE IN BERMUDA

in the process Of excavating his cellar. '
Thus whea the cellar la dng th house
may be ready; for roofing, and 11
enough roofing J material has not al
ready been accumulated- in the course
of the excavation,, it can easily be had
by digging the cellar a trifle deeper,
for tbe roofs in Bermuda are invariably
made' out Of thin slabs of . this . same
white coral rock. " It has' the' advan
tage of being so soft that one may cut it
with an ordinary handsaw tea hour, a
day for six month or a year without , :
refiling the saw. : It may beaawed into
slab two . or three inches thick and
eighteen , Inch , or. two feet square
without particular danger of breaking
the slabs. It looks somewhat like a
very 1 soft, ' chalky variety of marble.
Though, so . workable when : first
