5b Erst .on the order of'tpislncaa, but
Awn present Indications, It Is potfl*
Mo that the committed will not bo

program for tomorrow hns been ar-.
'ranged so that the convention will re'
•ttite the marching clubs, which will
?xrad«* through the Coliseum In ac
cordance with arrangements already
^eluded.
tr tfie Cdttimlttee On credentials ha
no report prepared n recess will fee
token until such time ns may seem
proper for the reason that no further
business can be transacted until the
End(ug:i of the credentials eommtttee
are at hand.
A* soon as the committees have re

S» tbo possibility of a ballot on the
presidency.
It ts agreed that If the permanent
.Organisation can be effected tomor
row and the platform adopted tomor
row night, the convention will pro

at* woon as the nominating and sec
onding speeches are ended Thursday
If a candidate ts nominated TlVrsdny
ju» adjournment will be taken until
Friday, and the skirmish for the nora-
fctttkm for second place will not take
phwe untjU then.
The scenes about the Coliseum bo-
ftin* the convention wa* called to or
der tod;ty were very similar to those
witnessed at the big conventions In
pant year*. The five acres of seats
under the arches of the big building
began to fill with convention specta
tors nearly two hour* before the time
met tor the call to order. An arm/
of doorkeepers was on guard at the
rorlon* entrances, and Inside a num
erous body of sergeants-at-arms were
etatkmed in the aslles to guide the
delegates to their seats.
Throughout the time that elapsed
betweeg tho opening of the doors and
that set for the formal opening of tho
convention, s band stationed high In
ttm gallery rendered a succession of
•jlaees of patriotic music, alternated
wttk popular alra of tbo day.
Tbo agars behind the platform was
1 for distinguished guests, and
'among those who occupied these
seats were the French Ambassador
1 Mme. Juaaerand. the British Am-
isador and Mrs. Bryce, Mrs. Nlcbol-
tSngworth, Mrs. Macus A. Hanna,
[strict Attorney William T. Jerome
New York, Mr. and Mrs; Lelter,
d Miss Mar/ Shortdan, daughter
General Phil Sheridan.
Underneath the rostrum, and
stretching the whole length of the
basement, was ne of the most cur
ious sights of the convention—the
paraphernalia and the workers who
were to communicate to the millions
what the thousands saw. Into this
space was let more than 600 wires
that connect directly with the prln
clpal newspapers of the country, and
with the foreign new» agencies. Hun
dreds of telephones and telegraph In
struments were being operated sim
ultaneously. A thousand or more re
porters, operators and messengers
manned this great Intelligence ma
chine.
THE SECOND PRIMARY.
s of Second Elec
tion for State Officials.
Jacksonville, Fla., June 1C.—A sec
ond Democratic Primary Is In prog
ress throughout Florida today to de
cide the contests left over from the
indecisive first primary of several
iveeks ago, In which no candidate
secured a majority, as Is necessary
under the Florida laws.
Public interest centers chiefly In
the race for United States Senator
to fill the seat of the lato Senator
Mallory. Upon the death of Senator
Mallory Governor Broward appointed
William J. Bryan, a prominent young
lawyer of Jacksonville, to All the va
cancy. Senator Bryan himself died
soon after assuming office and Gov
ernor Broward then named W. H.
Milton to fill the vacancy, and soon
afterwards announced his own candi
dacy Jn the state primary. Opposing
him were D. U. Fletcher, a succe.-Bful
lawyer of this city; W. B. Lamar Rep
resentative In Congress from the
Third district, and state Senator J.
Benro of Pensacola.
In the flr t primary Governor Brow
ard obtained a plurality of something
like 3,000 votes over big nearest, op
ponent, Fletcher, and It is ^flPrally
expected he will obtAin fhe’ necessary
~Noting today. The
docifcthd gbherttfr*
which. Allen w) Qll-
N. O. Stockton are
candidates. Gilchrist had a good
lead In the first primary. Stockton his
reyopjonent, publicly charges that this
Wak due to the fact that Gilchrist’s
support comes from the corporation
and liquor Interests. The ministers
5 f this city have issued a public de-
unclation of Gilchrist's candidacy,
a account of hfs alleged sympathy
with the liquor interests.

ali of the Debts of the Concern—
To Have More Steamship* From
Savannah — Mail Carrier* and
Clerk* to Get More Pay.
Savannah, Ga., June 1C—At a meet
ing of the committee having In charge
the affairs of Reppard, Snedeker &
Company, yesterday afternoon It was
decided to call a meeting of the cred
itors of the Arm when the conditions
of affairs will be thoroughly gone In
to with the hopp of evolving some
plan by which the firm can be gotten
out of Its financial dlfflenltles. It Is
believed that the creditors will con
sent to the formatlon^of a plan by
which the firm can gradually pay Its
debts. There Is not a very long list
of creditors and for that reason the
matter will be more easily handled.
The largest Individual creditor Is a
man who was on the notes of the
firm for $50,000 and whose claim la
unsecured.
To Increase Steamship Lines.
The steamship lines entering Sa
vannah will be materially adged -to
when the North American Steamship
Line is formed. The petition of In
corporation will bo filed In a few
days. It la proposed to run a line
of steamships to European and other
porta. Charters will be taken for all
parts of the world. Mr. E. W. Smith,,
who has been vice president of the
South Atlantic Steamship Conwany
for several years, h^s reelgnetfcfhat
position and will probably bo made
president of the North! American*
Steamship Company. It lp believed

Carriers Get Increased Pay.
ATI of the carriers In the. Savannah
postofflee, except three, and almost
every clerk In the office has received
notice of an increase In pay amount
ing to $100 a year. The Increase 13
made under a recent act of Congress
which admits of Its being given to
clerks nnd carriers "recommended
for promotion." Many of the clerks
In tho Savannah office now get
$1,200 a year.
Alf Herrington to Speak.
Hon. Alfred Herrington, of Swalns-
boro. hns accepted an Invitation to
deliver an address at tho annual meet
ing and banquet of Francis S. Bartow
Camp. United Sen; Confederate vet-
ternns. on Thursday night at Thun-
rbolt. He will arrive In the city on

>ly through Friday.
Fender* for Street Car*.
Alderman Perrltt, chairman of a
special committee having In charge
the matter of compelling street cars
to be equipped with fenders, has had
n series of experiments made to see
what is the best fender to buy. He
will probably make a recommenda
tion to the next meeting of council.
The tests held yesterday were very
Interesting and a dummy made of
wood and cotton was pretty well cut
up before the tenders got through
with If. The street railway officials
contend that a . nccessful fender has
not yet been manufactured.
