However, it - is suffi ciently progressive and you' may put emphasis on the sufficiently.' It Is 'saWaiioi-yrit This statement was made by Mr, W. J.

The full committee met soon after the subcommittee and the draft as prepared was accepted, with but a few changes in verbiage. " 'The meetings were , harmonious thi ought. ut. . Mr. Bryan " was asked about VAa and be replied: "We have had very harmonious sessions. Of course there were slight differences of opinion such as would occur in any gathering of 50 or more men. -but there waa no bit terness of any kind." The principal work of the committees yesterday was, to eor.ect. imperfections of phraseoloji y ; These were discovered in abundance at every reading of the platform. The platform is longer than the committee-wished to make it, con taining about 6.000 words, so when the committee went over' it today every word iis members thought to be unnec essary was eliminated. The principal discussions yesterday morning were over minor planks which it had been previously decided should be omitted. Among these were planks on woman suffrage and the intiative, referendum and recall. ' It was finally decided, as Bta ed in The Journal yester day, that these were matters for the stales to act upon as best suited them and they were emitted, ' y Some of the members of the commit tee, however, felt that an expression on the part of the National Convention would be helpful snd along tbe lines on which the progressives have been fight ing for years;- . - . Differences on such questions as these have bem those of policy . and expedi ency only. There have been no differ ence of conviction. The committee has been uni ed absolutely in support of the progressive idea, and the members out vied with one another in efforts to have ihe platform express the very foremost thought of modern Democracy. The strongest and tersest words have been sought in framing every plank (a t hope that the party's declarative) af principles would be so vi'al and ae ks stinct with conviction that no one eould lave any doubt of the purpose of ths Democratic party to fulfill its pledges and relieve the masses of the people from what are dt notmced as the abuses by ihe privileged classes. ' Giving special prominence to the tar iff, an effort will be made to demon strata that the Republican policy of protection has -been responsible in large degree for the present high cost of living and for the development of trusts and monopolies. There is a pos itive declaration for revision downward to the basis of a tariff for revenue on ly, with especial stress upon the word "only;" but, to meet the demands largely of Senator Newlands and at the asme time ind rse the piecemeal revis ion by the House of . Representatives, the opinion is expressed that the re ductions should be made gradually and after the most careful deliberation, with a view of disturbing business to as sliKht an extent as it is possible to disturb business by tariff revision.

A model "pu rity" ball will be given by tha United Professional Teschers of Dancing of America for the benefit bf city officials woo are seeking to curb the so-called tvils of the public dance halls. J. O. Schackr.e, of Toledo, told mem bars of the organization that the "idle rich" in their frantic search for diver sion are mainly to blame for tbe fall of the innocent minuet the adoption of tbe Aldrlch ideaa. At the same time the platform ' re eognizea tha necessity of protect ing tha banks and theic customers against the conditions which arose in 1907, and it is beliewd that this can ba done by Ihe distribution of the govern ment funds throughout the country in a Way to make them available in case of monetary disturbance. A significant suggestion is made to trw effect that tha National Banking act be amsnded so as to permit loans on real estate.

New York, June 29th. -Prices, tho' at times showing resistance to forces of depression, have frf qnently receded under the wtight of generally good weather, favorable reports and more or less pressure to sell at home and abroad. The Crop emtlook i Texas is regarded by many as good, enthusiasts talking of a possible yield of 6,000,000 to '7,000,000 bales. The prospects west of the Mississippi are considered more favorable than those of any. : Regard ing the government report which Is to appear on July 3d, there are those who believe that it is likely to show but a small decrease in the acreage for the whole belt and that it will exhibit a condition of the crop fully equal to the ten-year average. Early in the week the continent was a good buyer in Liv erpool, but litter it became a heavy sel ler. The .Weakness in New Orleans as Wtfll as the more favorable crop re ports, were the explanation given for the content's change of attitude. Bears maintain that spinners the world over are now carrying goods, crop prospects are improving, that there is- still a chance of raising a good crop if condi tions in July and August should beat all favorable, or rather if they should come up to the average However, the spot situation continues strong owing to the relative search y of the better grades for which there is a steady de mand. The bulla declare that the chances are very remote of an adequate crop bting raised in tha belt as a whole for the reason that the season is late, the plant small and Ihe critical months of July and August with all their dangers still to be encountered. July has latter ly thown considerable strength both here and in New Orleans, being practi cally confined in New Orleans. Todtiy July notices amounted to about 40,000 bales issued vy various houses ar.d stopped mostly by two big spot con cerns. .' ' II I 1 v Capitalist Killed in Auto Accident, iDetroit, June 28.

Wsshington, June 28th. The Senate yesterday made the first move to re lieve the government from the embar rassing situation arising from the fail ure of Congress to pa3S many of the large supply bills. . Despite its agreement to transact no thing but "morning business"' during the Democratic convention, it appoint ed conferees to meet representatives of the House on legislative appropriation bill. ' This bill carries the salaries and mileage of members ,of Congress, the judiciary, tbe president and many oth sr items, none of which can be paid af ter July 1, unless the bill is passed and signed by Ihe president. It is said he will veto it because 'of the provision which abolishes the commerce court Unless some action is taken on the army appropriation bill and the. navy appropriation bill before Monday, prac tically all Ihe navy yards will lay off their men, and army officers will be without i pay. Government officials are confident that Congress will meet the emergency with a blanket resolu tion extending all present appropria tions into the new year.

Ryan and August Belmont be cast out of the . convention i Stunned for a minute by the sudden ness of the blow dealt by the Com moner, the convention appeared at first ;' not to know what to do or which way -to turn. Recovering a moment later, however, the body broke into a storm of protest and half a hundred delegates leaped to their feet crying for recogni- , tion. "Against this wave of furious pro test rose another wave of approbation -from the Bryan men throughout the : hall. ' ' Members of the Virginia - and New York delegations, resenting the move . of 'Colonel Bryan,, turned fiercely upon him with a refusal to meet such a chal lenge.

Groans were heard in every section of the hall and a cho rus of hisses greeted him every time ' he rose to speak to his motion. " At no time since the convention as sembled in this city have such scenes of wild disorder been witnessed on that . floor of that body. There have been demonstrations, one after another; there have been partisan outbursts' ; there have been storms of applause. -Never before, however, . had such a , frenzy taken possession of the asaemb-, ly.
