! Williams Jennings Bryac Knocked the .Work on the (By Associated Pfess.) St. Louis, Md., July 8. Having adopted the reports of al committees at an exciting session last except that of resolutions, the feature today was a fight on platform. Full committee on resolutions was a stormy session ontinuoply all night after the subcommittee! had been in session continuously the previous night and all day yestefday. Daniel. Hill and Bryan and Baiev and other members are speaking! without rest for two days and nights Brvan also speaking at length in tie convention last evting. While defeated in the fight oh contested seats Bryan and followers in full committee knocked out the gold standard plank, 55 to 15. This modifies the tariff plank in two points and inserted the income tax plank. The latter is aprainst the assertion of Hill that they would lose the New York vote for the Democratic candidate. Bryan gave notice that he would submit later a substitute for the gold plank. He offered an amednment to the trust plank declaring for prosecution trusts and designating how it would be done. This was adopted 23 to 20. The navy plank, calling for an increase was stricken out. Ex-Governor Thomas, of Colorado, had his labor plank adopted, .Bryan's financial -plank was referred to him and Hill. llWFpped thexujtd something the committee could adopt. The opinion is expressed that Bryan will not make a minority report in view of the concessions gained by him. The promise of exciting scenes in today's convention created a tremendous demand for tickets. The day promised to be as hot as yesterday. Three sessions are expected, but the leaders hope to reach the final adjournment tonight. There is much comment over Ohio dividing its vote last evening. 21 for and 25 against Bryan's minority rejxirt on credentials. It is claimed the unit rule was not enforced because there may be occasion yet to use it for Judson Harmen in some contingency. The result so displeased the Parker men that they will not likely now support Harmon for second -1 T.'.a i i .

Delegates for all these three seem today to be waiting for second place, especially Governor Beckham of Kenteucy. , Bryan and Hill Have Enning. At ten o'clock it was clear that the committee on resolutions which had been in session all night and had considered the entire platform prepared by the sub-committee was not ready to reach an agreement on the document as a whole. During the night session when the gold plank was under discussion Bryan walked up to Hill and shaking his finger at him said: "You ought to have got a platform to go with the gold candidate you are forcing on the country." Hill replied he knew nothing concerning Parker's monetary views and to Bryan's astonishment added, he had never asked him his views and Parker never sought to convey them to him. He only knew Parker was a Democrat high minded and patriotic and could be trusted implicity on this as on all other measures of public policy." Chairman Clark arrived at 10:10 and at 10:30 no word was received from the resolutions committee and a messenger was despatched to ascertain when it would report. In the meantime the band played and the delegates cheered the favorite airs. At 10:47 the convention was called to order, Rabbi Sales making the open- " ing prayer. The committee on resolutions announced it was not ready to report and the roll of States was failed to announce members of the National committee. The trust question was settled by the adoption of the declaration offer

Cardinal Satolli, who has been receiving such great honors at St. Louis the past week, was in this city for a few minutes last evening. His special train of three cars ran as a second No. 20. As there was no notice of his coming, only a small number of persons, were there to greet hi eminence. A Palladium representative had the pleasure of seeing his eminence and having a few words with the distinguished prelate and probable successor of Pius X. Accompanying his eminence were Mgr. Denis O'Connell, of Washington, formerly rector of the American college at Home; Don Ercole Satolli, cousin of the cardinal; Don Guiseppe Marroechi and Don Giovanni Giantoni, traveling companions. Cardinal Satolli stood on the back platform of the special train in a black suit and broad scarlet tie. He greeted cordially all who gathered about the car. They were introduced by J. Allen Wheat, of the National Cash Register company, who did most of ihe talking concerning the trip. The cardinal was asked concerning his visit to Notre Dame. He adroitly refrained from speaking of the purpose of his visit to America. Of Notre Dame he said: "Eight years ago there were 300 students, now there are 800." Then, raising his hands up and down enthusiastically, the cardinal smiled and said: "Progress! Progress! It is the American way." Cardinal Satolli will remain in Dayton today and tomorrow and will be visited there by the Catholic clergy fro mseveral cities. He will then go to Chicago. mnn iun Shot His Wife in a Tit of Jealousy at Indianapolis. (By Associated Press.) Indianapolis. Ind., July 8.

IN A FEW DAYS BY SALVATION ARMY

OFFICERS HERE NOW Getting in Work Ahead and Soldiers Come on in Nearly Every Train Are Sile&t. The Salvation Army, one of the greatest evangelical orders in the world, especially in the Englishspeaking portion f it, is making active preparations for a systematic "invasion" of this city, which has "backslidden into ungodly ways," as one soldier quaintly put it yesterday, It seems as though a number of prom inent merchants and men in other walks of life have appealed so long and earnestly to the Salvation Army officers, that the latter have decided to accept the merchants' offer to come here and work, despite the rather frosty treatment with which the soldiers were received on their last visit. -The exact place in the city where the army will hold its headquarters and its meetings is not known, for the reason probably, that there are not enough here as yet to do the work as it should be done. Perhaps eight or ten only are here now, but the others are coming. Yesterday, from three trains there dropped off four soldiers of the Salvation Army, and this morning others came. Invasions have been made of several Indiana towns with varying success, and the soldiers who have been working there are now on their way to Richmondvjyhexc,a gfeatvict6ry is awaiting them, they say. Several captains, ensigns, etc., are now already on the field, taking a lookaround to get a general idea. The soldiers are very reticent and will not talk about themselves or their work. They only say that they have come here to work and that is all. Have a Row and Rumpus and Are Arrested. E. S. Boswell and George Flake, porters on sleeping ears, got into an altercation last night and the police were called to stop the disturbance. Both were arrested and charged with assault and battery. On a plea of guilty they were fined $1.00 and costs. The twain accused another man of stealing a watch and he was brought up on the charge, but was released as there was no evidence to sustain it.

It was supposed lie was with some of his boy friends. But when he did not 'V'turn the next clay for breakfast or dinner the parents began to be alarmed.

New York. July 8. Apropos of a sale in London of a Stradivarius violin once valued at $S for $3,500 comes the announcement that the best known "Strad" in this country, and once owned by Joseph Jean Bott, has been sold for $9,000. It was once pawned for $4, and after wandering for eight years was found again while Victor Fletcher, a well known dealer was on trial for the second time on the charge of stealing it. Mr. Fletcher was exonerated, although he had been Once sentenced, and he spoke of the sale of the famous instrument, to which he always refers as the Bott Stradivarius. "That violin," said he, "was sold three weeks ago by the Bott estate to a Mr. Mitchell of Norwich, Conn., for $0,000, which, considering the excellence of the instrument and its good state of preservation, was no more than a fair price. It is a source of surprise to me to read that a deal er so well known as "W. E. Hill of London, should have parted Avith a genuine Stradivarius for 80, al

UPON THE SUBJECT

Tiie mystery surrounding the disappearance of Rev. Elwood O. Ellis, pastor of the South Eighth street Friends' church, still deepens, and there is no more definite information tjday than we gave yesterday. The family and friends of the popular minister are hoping against hope that he will turn up all right, and that fears now entertained will be allayed. The police force, the friends, the relatives, are all searching every nook and corner for some trace of tke missing minister. Rivers and ponds are being dredged fearing that the mind of Rev. Ellis had become deranged and that probably in a demented moment he might have taken his life. These are only theories, but in the present state of excitement everything possible is being done to find any clue to his whereabouts. Only last week Mr. B. Johnson and Mr. E. G. Hill called on Mp. Ellis to arrange for his vacation. They wanted to select a suitable place for kirn to rest and recreate, but he did not seem to want to go. He made the excuse that the weather was cool here and he believed he wouldn't go. The gentlemen thought it very strange for Mr. Ellis to decline this offer, but made no comments upon it. Timothy Nicholson was seen and he deplores the whole affair very much. ' He vras always7 in eleW touch. with Mr. Ellis and had never noticed anything strange about his actions, except that he was somewhat nervous at the last interview he had with him. They were together on Saturday at the Dickinson Trust company clipping bond coupons for Earlham and he noticed nothing unusual in his actions. Paul Ross says that last "Wednesday afternoon he saw Rev. Ellis going down South Eight street. He I said he could be mistaken in the day ! bnf he thought it was Wednesday, ! Will Holly, the Eighth street bar'I here was a rumor about town t.mt ,er:w persons saw mm -in- east I Milin r?et Tuesday afternoon i i i - - i n,s ycie. J report is aemeu by the family as his bicycle is at home. He hasn't used his wheel for some time, the family say. Mr. Ellis's mother arrived from the East early this morning and is assisting the family in their search for the missing minister. Mrs. Ellis was seen bv a Palladium representative and she is all broken up over the affair. In fact she has had fears for some time that Mr. Ellis would lose his mind, because he had not acted like himself. A Sends Autograph Copy of Addresses and Messages to Sadie Edwards.
