THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, iTHURSD AY, AUGUST 31; 1899.

Finally the majority report wa. adopted. Tbe Platform. Then the reports cf the committee on permanent organization and resolutions were adopted. The platform follows: "We heartily reaffirm the entire Chicago platform of 1V.5. and we especially emphasize the financial plank thereof, and we continue to demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold as equal primary money at the rate of 15 to 1. Independent of all other nations in the world. "Tho Hon William J. Bryan ttll retains our entire confidence and we demand his renoilr.ation in 1DO0. "We recognize the solemn fact that our government cannot be both republican and imperial. ' "We stand In line with Washington. Jefferson. Jackpon, IJncoln, Grant and all other American patriots, living and dead, in desiring the perpetuity of our Republic. "We are radically and unalterably opposed to imprlal!im In the United States of America. When we hava solved jorae of the race problems that confront us at home, then by example we can proclaim the bless- . ings that Sow frcm free Institutions, and thus procure 'benevolent assimilation without 'criminal aggression. "We are opposed to entangling alliances with foreign kingdoms and empires. "We commend the action of Congress in declaring that our war with Spain was ror r.umanity ana not for conquest. "We proudly recognize the ralor and glo rious acnievements of our gallant soldiers and sailors from Burker Hill to this very hour, as being among the most thrilling and glorious in the history of the world, but are Deir.g uniawiuny usea. m tne name or . i i . . . m liberty, to crush and destroy dawning republicanism In the Orient, and we denounce the secret and vicious alliance now in evidence between England and the Republican administration, whereby this nation may become involved In war with foreign nations. "We demand that the Cuban and Filipinos rot only be permitted, but encouraged to establish independent republics, deriving all of their governmental powers from th ron.nt of the governed. "We denounce the Republican party for It 3 thirty-eight years of abject subserviency to the shipping interest of Great Britain, and we denounce the so-called Hanna-Payne shipping bill, which, if enacted into law, would further shackle our interests. "We are ln favor of maintaining our splendid and efficient navy. "A large standing army in our Republic is a menace to liberty. "We favor the initiative and referendum, the passage of the eight-hour labor law. the more rigid inspection of mines and workshops, the prohibition of sweatshops and the abolition of the contract system of prison labor.. "We declare that all unlawful combinations of capital are the legitimate f raits of a gold standard and other corrupt Republican legislation on questions of the tariff, and we demand that all articles the prices of which are controlled by the trusts be placed on the free list. We denounc? the attorney general of the United States, appointed from the State of New Jersey, the hotbed of trusts, for his refusal to enforce the statutes of the United States agalrst them, and we commend the present attorney gen f eeral of Ohio for his earnest efforts to enxorce ine statutes or Ohio against such illegal combinations1 and pledge the nominee of this convention for attorney general to the enforcement of the statutes of the State against them. "We demand a cessation of national bonded-debt building to curse posterity. "We demand a return to a rigid economy In the administration of public affairs, and a proper reduction of all fees and salaries. "Wo demand a reduction of taxation and a more equ'table distribution of Its burden. "We believe that honest political leaders are necessary to command the respect of the people and parties. Political bosses are to be detested and are inimical to our form cf government. Bosses represent simply a concentration of political power or a ring. They live and exist through Jobs and schemes loaded on the taxpayers. They substitute their rule In their party for the rule of Its voters and vl3lt political death on any who refuse to bow to their dictation. They select the nominees, who. If elected, remain their tools, administering their official powers In the Interest of their boss, and not the people. The Republican party In Ohio is now In such contrcl. The nominees on its ticket should not and will not command the suffrages of self-respecting Republicans. They are not the free selection of the properly delegated representatives of that party.' They were named at the dictation of and by the agreement of the accredited Republican boss of Hamilton county and the self-accredited Republican national boss and dictator. They are the product of bosslsm and represent Hannalsm and Coxism. and not Republicanism, and. 11 Ke water, they, can never rise above their source. "We favor such appropriations by the legislature as may be necessary to insure the success of th,e centennial to be held at Toledo. . "We deplore the frequent anl outrageous exercise of lynch law In this and other States, especially against our colored citizens, and we recommend the adoption . of prompt and effcient measures to suppress such unwarranted acts of violence. "We recommend a constitutional amend- . ment providing for the election of President. Vice President and United States senators by a direct vote of the people. "Toward securing these and kindred blessings we earnestly Invite the co-operation of all patriotic citizens who are opposed to Imperialism In this country and who favor the perpetuity of the Republic and desire the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity." The committee on plan of organization reported In favor of referring the new constitution back to the state executive committee with full power to adopt. This report was adopted. dominations and Dallotlna. Then the counties were called for nominations for Governor, and much time was devoted to speeches in presenting the names.

JCIIX R. M'LGAX. Career of the en Democratic Moses of the Dnckeye State. John R. McLean was born in Cincinnati Sept. 17. 1848. and Is fifty-one years old. He went from Harvard to Germany. After he had served In all the parts of the Enquirer he became half owner In 1872 and sole owner In 1SS1. Mr. McLean has conducted the Cincinnati Enquirer over a quarter of a century. When th& price of coal was raised In Cincinnati, while the Ohio river was frozen over some years ago, Mr. McLean went into the coal business, sold at the old price to worklngmen and gave coal free to the poor. He wrecked the "combine." During the summers he give's Ice free to the poor of Cincinnati.' His donations annually to local charities are large. Every Christmas he distributes from five to ten thousand dollars to the poor of Cincinnati. While Mr. McLean has never held public office he has been a powerful factor In politics. 'Through the Enquirer he started over a quarter of a century ago the cry "Rise up, William." It resulted In the late f xSenator William B. Allen being nominated and elected Governor the first time the Ohio Democrats had elected a Governor for twenty years, the Republicans having had an unbroken gubernatorial successior in Chase, Dennlson, Tod, Brough, Cox, Hayes and Noyes. Governor Allen was afterward indorsed by the Ohio Democracy for President in 1876. Mr. McLean was also a factor in the election of Governor Blsho in 1S7S, of Governor Hoadly In 1SS3 and of Governor Campbell in 1SSJ, these four being the only Democratic Governors elected in Ohio since 1S53. Mr. McLean not only brought out tbe first winning Democratic candidate for Governor in his generation lnWilllara Allen in 1S73, but he also furnished the Issue theu In his opposition to a contracted currency. In 1SS5 McLean was the Democratic nominee for senator against Sherman. Two years ago McLean was the generally recognized candidate of the Democrats for senator against M. A. Hanna. Mr. McLean has been prominent at national as well as at local and state conventions. When Hancock was nominated for President at Cincinnati in 1&S0 McLean took a conspicuous part. In 1SS4 he was one of the Ohio delegates at large and chairman of the Ohio delegation, lie has been one of the Ohio delegates at large at succeeding national Democratic conventions and is still the Ohio member of the national Democratic committee.

There was some talk ot lynching him last night and he was scared and desperate. When he came downstairs from court this evening a curious crowd was standing at the bottom of the stairs. On reaching the bottom of the stairs he began to back away from the officers, with his hand on his pistol pocket, declaring that he would rather die than go to jail and be Inched. Officer Wallace pulled his pistol and told him he must come. The negro drew his pistol so far from his pocket that it caught in his belt and the officer Immediately fired. Johnston started to run and Constable Jennings fired after him. The negro had now sue-, ceeded In getting hold of his pistol and ho turned and fired twice on his pursuers.

He was best known In connection with the Emma silver-mine scandal. The capital was fixed at a million shares of 20. Three members of Parliament were on the board of directors, and R. C. Schenck, United ' States minister to Great Britain, was also a director. This was considered a masterpiece of promotion, as Mr. Schenck's name Inspired great confidence. The prospectus showed that a dividend of 80 per cent, was possible. Two Americans were the vendors of the mine, which turned out to bo worthless. Only a shilling per share was saved from the wreck, and it afterwards developed that the American vendors (Park and Stewart) paid Grant 100.000 promoting money, besides other sums. A refort on the mine purporting to come from rofessor Gllman. of Ya'.e, was pronounced to be a forgery. Beforo .he actions brought against Grant and the directors were decided.

Governor General Erooke has received the following proclamation from President McKlnley: "To the People of Cuba The disorganized condition of your Island, resulting from tha war and the absence of any generally recognized authority, aside from the, temporary military control of the United States, have made it necessary that the United States should follow the restoration of order and peaceful Industry by giving its assistance and supervision to the successive steps bj- wMch you will proceed to the establishment of an effective system of seifgovemment.

President McKinley's proclamation will bo published In the Gazette to-morrow. Tho Dlscusclon was the only paper that succeeded In obtaining a copy In time for Its evening addition to-day. In which It appears without any editorial comment. Most of the prominent Cubans whose opinion has been asked respecting the proclamation, as given in the Dlscusclon, decline to express any view beyond saying that they are surprised at Its brevity. Gen. Adna R. Chaffee, the governor general's chief of staff, asked the Associated Press to deny that he has said, as asserted In an American newspaper, that prisoners had been killed at Santiago. He never made any such declaration to any one. Tho board of land owners recently organized here to represent private land interests in Cuba received a dispatch from Senor De Quesada asking If the free transportation of tobacco into the Island was likely to be injurious to Cuban interests. The opinion ot the board was also asked with respect to the introduction of cattle and agricultural Implements. The board replied that the free Importation of tobacco would be injurious, but that cattle and agricultural Implements were Indispensable. Complaints having been made to General Ludlow, military governor of Havana, with regard to the erection of wooden buildings by the American authorities within tna limits prescribed by the municipality as the territory where all wooden buildings should be destroyed, he replied that such buildings as had been constructed were only temporary and would soon be demolished. Governor General Brooke has ordered the municipality of Matanzas to return the local cemetery to the ecclesiastical authorities In accordance with the proclamation issued in April. The municipality raised also the question of hygiene, refusing even to consider an order from Senor Capote to make the transfer, and threatening to resign in a body if any attempt was made to enforce the order. Eventually an appeal was taken to General Wilson, military governor of Matanzas-Santa Clara, who suspended Senor Capote's order pending the decision of Governor General Brooke. General Ruls Rlverla, civil governor of Havana, has informed the municipalities of the province that Spaniards by registering lose the right granted by the treaty of Paris to be considered Cubans," thus consequently cannot hold public positions. The carpenters of Havana held a large meeting to-day, at which the proposal to strike for an elght-hcur day, Instead of a nine-hour day, was rejected. The meeting, however. Indorsed the strike of the masons and promised assistance. The Dlarlo de la Marina says that none of the cattle which is being imported into Cuba Is fit for human consumption. The paper adds that a quarantine should be Insisted on. The Diario gives the case of one shipment of cattle where forty-five head died during the voyage: It says the municipality, instead of busying itself, with trivialities, might better take this matter in hand. The paper asserts that the number of veterinary inspectors now employed is insufficient. The Neuvo Pals, of this city, declares the time has arrived for the Cubans to "offer Americans what they think is a necessary safeguard for the commercial and International plans, receiving in exchange the right to govern themselves and develop their own resources." Governor General Brooke has refused to sanction the proposed payment for the treasury of Cuba of certain bills presented by General Monteagucdo for supplies furnlshed to the Cuban troops. . FOR PORTO RICO. (Concluded from First Pace.) department is advised that legally :t can go no further, but must lsavj its action open to the approval cf Oonos. . . RIDDEN WITH "BOSSES." Too Many Officeholders In the Island of Porto Rico. Correspondence of the Associated Press. PONCE, Porto Rico, Aug. 24. The present military form of government Is unsatisfactory to every one military authorities and civilians alike. . Everything is in a more or less chaotic condition and there are two or three bossses" for every job. This is caused chiefly by retaining the native courts, police and municipal governments, and at the same time making them subservient to the military authorities. Tho army officers do the best they can, but they are primarily soldiers, and secondly business men. while now they are overworked In attempting to serve in both capacities. Then, again, the frequent changes are a great cause of trouble. Officers are not detached but are assigned to civil duties near the post of their regiment, and when the regiment moves a new officer Is placed in the civil office.. A military order will abolish a native court and perhaps make no provision for the trial of causes formerly tried in that court. The island is entirely peaceful, but confusion arises because there are insular police, municipal police and soldiers all In a measure doing the samework. The alcalde, or mayor, has xnurh 'the same duties as formerly, but his action Is not free because the military commander can take any matter from his hands or carry It on over his head. Formerly most of the commerce of Porto Rico was with Europe, and Spain In particular. Now this has been disturbed, and yet satisfactory commercial relations have not yet been established with the United States. Merchanla Import only absolute necessities and these In small quantities; many merchants from here have visited New York and been unable to buy goods there so they could be sold here to advantage, and have gone on to Europe to buy there. The market for Porto Rican products has likewise been disturbed and the crops were stored In large quantities when the hurricane of Aug. 8 came to unroof the warehouses and to cause enormous losses by rain and flood. This, the greatest calamity that ever visited Porto Rico, makes the commercial condition worse than ever before and makes It Incumbent upon the United States to speedily establish some stable, permanent form of government, and to give the people of this Island relief from the depression that has been upon them so long and has been Intensely Increased by the recent storm. 1,500 KILLED, 3,000 INJURED. Latest Estimate of Hurricane Casualties In Porto RIeo. Correspondence of the Associated Press. SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Aug. 17. A majority of the larger towns and cities of Porto Rico in the path of the great hurricane of Aug. 8 have been heard from, and the reports show that the ruin and devastation and loss of life occasioned by wind and water are much greater than at first supposed.. At this time it is impossible to estimate the loss of life with any degree of accuracy, but Major John Clem, chief quartermaster of the department, who has visited a number of the stricken cities, estimates that at least 1,500 people have been killed by falling houses and flying timbers, or drowned, and that three thousand have been Injured. At Ponce 250 bodies have been burled and It is certain the complete list In the city and Its "barrlcs" will aggregate four hundred. In Arclbo two hundred bodies have been recovered and seven hundred persons are xnlssing. It is thought that sev

eral hundred hodles were swept out to f ea. Reports from the town, made by post commanders, to the adjutant general of the department, are as follows: Humacoa Eighty-nine dead and 300 wounded. Cavey Thirty-four dead and the town entirely destroyed. Albonlto Twenty-three dead. Yabucoa Best estimate obtainable places the number of dead at 175. The town contained a population of only 2.500, and not a house or wall was left standing. Arroyo All houses were blown down by the hurricane, and a few hours later the town was flooded by water to a depth of ten feet. Sixteen people were known to have drowned, and it is probable that many others perished. Guayama All buildings, with the exception of the great cathedral, were unroofed or otherwise damaged: 30 people were killed. Juana Diaz Five drowned. Naguabo Town supposed to have been entirely destroyed. Jayua Half the town swept away by the River Mameas; CO reported dead. Other towns in the path of the hurricane, from which Incomplete reports by native carriers have been received and at which loss of life has occurred are Eas Piedras. Juncas. Trujlilo Alto, Trujiilo Baja, Ysabela, Manuabo, Quebradlllas. Lares, Hatlllo, Clales, Yauco, Guanica, Patillas. Utuado, Adjuntas. The towns of Bayamon and Caguas. in the district of San Juan, suffered greatly Four deaths occurred at Caguas. The large towns of Mayaguez, Camuy and Aguadllla, on the west coast, and Fajardo, on the east, suffered very little from the hurricane. The property loss on the Island wlh amount to many millions of dollars. The coffee and orange crops have been entirely ruined and all other crops have suffered greatly. In many of the towns and villages all food supplies have been exhausted, and. despite the fact that the governor general and post commanders are doing all In their power to supply food, it is very probable that many deaths from starvation will occur. The coast towns can easily be suppiled by boats from the capital, but there Is little hope for the destitute in the remote interior. The wealthy natives here, with a few notable exceptions, show little disposition to contribute to the relief of the sufferers, and In a number of cases priests have refused to allow the homeless shelter in the churches. From every place where soldiers were stationed come glowing accounts through native channels of their heroism and, bravery In saving lives and property. In a number of cases the soldiers gave up their own quarters to the sick and wounded. No soldiers were killed, but at least fifty were wounded while engaged in the work of rescue. With the exception of two in Ponce, no American lives were lost. Governor General Davis has created a permanent board of charity for the Island, and to it will be referred all applications lor relief. Te appointments are as follows: MaJ. John Van R. Hoff, president: Surgeon W. F. Eeber, Dr. F. Del Valle Atllles. Capt. G. M. Wells, Capt. F. P Reynolds, Father Nin. Rev H. A. Brown, Assistant Surgeon H. W. Cooper, secretary and disbursing orncer. THE FISTIC CARNIVAL,

Tommy White Bests Henry Lyons and Lewis Fouls Kenny. DUBUQUE. Ia., Aug. 30. Tommy White got the decision over Henry Lyons (colored) of Chicago, at the end of a twenty-round bout here to-night. They fought for the 126-pound championship. Lyons put up a good fight, but began to -weaken in the last round and White landed almost at will. Neither man appeared to possess much power. They hugged continually from start to finish. Hitting with one arm free was allowed and they pummeled each other every time they clinched. The decision did not meet with the entire approval of the audience, owing to the good showing Lyons made in the first fifteen rounds. In the preliminary bout between Jack Lewis and Chas. Kenny for the lightweight championship of the West, Lewis was all but out several times. In the seventh he was going and Kenny was given the decision and the entire purse on Referee Sller's decision that Lewis deliberately fouled in order to save himself from a knock-out. Jeffords Knocks Ont Barley. PORTLAND, Ore.. Aug., 30. James Jeffords, the big heavyweight of California, knocked out Nick Burley, of this city. In two minutes at the Olympic Athletic Club. Jeffords weighed two hundred pounds and his opponent was thirty-five pounds lighter. Jerfords assumed the aggressive from the first. i . COUP POSSIBLE. (Concluded from First Pa are.) M. Plcot was summoned because in May last he had an interview with a foreign military attache, in te course of which mention was made of the document Inserted in the dossier by Colonel Mercler. Colonel Jouaust cautioned the witness to be careful in his statements. After promising to exercise care M. Plcot started with saying that he had an Interview with the Austro-Hungarlan military attache. Colonel Jouaust stopped the witness, saying: "You canont continue like this." Major Carriere, the government commlsary, also exclaimed sharply, "I protest in the name of the government and the state against the Indiscretion committed by the witness." M. Plcot then recommenced his testimony, saying he had an Interview with "a certain military attache, and that the conversation turned on the Dreyfus case. The attache expressed surprise at 'the Incorrect attitude of French officers in doubting the word of foreign officers. My Impression," added the witness, "was that he wa anxious to assert firmly and unequivocally the absolute Innocence of Dreyfus. Sensation. "Regarding the bordereau." continued M. Plcot, "the attache said only three documents enumerated were referred to, the fact being that the others were padding, meant to swell the dossier." The witness noticed that the attache employed the expression "hydraulic brake," and never "pneumatic brake " 'ESTERHAZY A SWINDLER. In regard to Esterhazy, the attache, M. Plcotj declared that he considered him a swindler. The attache also asserted that Estefhazy had relations with Colonel Schwartzkoppen, who dismissed him because Esterhazy only brought Information devoid of Interest. "It was then." continued M. Plcot, "that Esterhazy tried to enter the War Office, and almost succeeded, and It was then that he wrote to Colonel Schwartzkoppen the letter since known as the bordereau. In reply to tho writer of the bordereau, M. Plcot, Colonel Schwartzkoppen wrote the telegram card, known as the petit bleu, but, on reflection, he crumpled it up and threw It in the fireplace. At this Juncture General Roget asked leave to speak, and, stationing himself beside the witness, he said he must strongly protest against M. Plcofs evidence regarding the military attache's surprise that French officers did not believe their foreign colleagues. "What does the witness think?" continued General Roget, "of the foreign officers who. having caused the publication in the Figaro of an emphatic denial of a statement of General Mercler, was afterward obliged to acknowledge the authorship of a document, the paternity of which was at first denied." M. Plcot retorted that he had only repeated statements made to him. and had abstained from comments on them. He had, therefore, nothing to say In reply to Gen. Roget's questions. M. Demange. intervening, asked General Roget If he did not think the foreign officers' mistake was excusable, since the word "report" had been applied to a document not possessing the character of the report. "It is not for me to accuse or excuse," replied the general. "I confine myself to pointing out to the court that the conversation repeated occurred in May that is to say at the time the investigation, of the Court of Cassation was already known. For my part I only Intervened because French officers have been arraigned, and, when being accused, French officers have the right to reply." Excitement. The general then returned to his seat snd General Deloye. director of artillery at tbe War Office, was called to the witness bar. He repeated his explanations given before the Court of Cassation as to the various peculiarities of the artillery, particularly with reference to the brake of the "120" short guns. The witness said he considered that, in 14, it would have been impossible for any officer serving with his regiment to communicate anything in regard to the brake of this gun. He added that, although the gun was In use at Rennes. the officers forming the court-martial, among whom was an officer commanding a "130" short gun. had only the vaguest ideas about this gun. while, in li34, the details of the "pneumatic brake" could have been known to very few officers. DELOYE QUESTIONED. The court clotely questioned General Deloye and a judge asked when It was known that the German shell "C 91," presented analogies to the Robin shell. General Deloye-In 1S96.

It must ba known what is In the notes and what is their nature and their value before theories) can be suggested. Mention has been made of the '130 short gun." I Plate briefly, for the second time, all that I knew in 1WO-1K0 at Bourges of this gun. I knew the principle of the 'pneumatic brake. "General Mercler's deposition recalled th fact that he was inspector general at Bourges in 1W0. He must remember th lecture given In the presence of all the officers, both of the gunnery school and foundry and all the departments of Bourges and the officers of the garrison artillery. He must recollect the final lecture given en the subject of the pneumatic brake, of which he made the customary rough sketch. This Is to be found in the St. Cyr lectures. All my knowledge of the pneumatic brake was derived from the lecturea As regards the brake Itself. I have seen it twice; once in the courtyard of the gunnery school at Bourges and once in the school of war. I have not seen It In action. I have not seen the 'ISO short gun fired. I have never been present at the firing trial, but the probationers attended. "Mention has lo been made of th phrapnel shell of 1S91. The knowledge of General Deloye on this point Is much more extensive than mine, and everything he hat said is quite correct. In 1934 I studied the shell, and, in the necessarily incomplete btudy, reached the conclusion that, the shell of the 1S91 pattern was a shell In which the bullets were kept In place by a smoke generating substance Intended to produce dense clouds of smoke on bursting. In order to facilitate range finding. These are the conclusions I reached in 1S91, and I chronicled! them In a report made at the time." When the prisoner was restated. Major Carriere announced that ne had received a letter from General Chamoln Informing him that, by order of the minister of war. the third artillery department had prepared a dossier of the documents the defense requested, and that those documents could be submitted to the court by General Deloye under the same conditions an were observed in regard to the secret dossier. The major, therefore, asked the court to sit in secret, or behind closed doors. M. Demange a?ked that Majors Hartman and Ducros be allowed to attend when General Deloye communicated the documents. After the court had deliberated in private. Colonel Jouaust announced that it would sit In secret to-morrow morning, in order to consider tho dossier, and that Majors Hartman and Ducros were authorized to attend. The court adjourned at 11:13 o'clock. De Freyclnet for Acquittal. PARIS, Aug. H.-M. Gabriel Menod. la the Figaro to-day relates a conversation he had with M.
