Tomllnson Hall was crowded to its capacity when Senator Beverldge called the Republican state convention to order at 9:30. The crowd was not a record-breaker, as the Republicans have filled the hall many times before. It was large, however, and the enthusiasm bubbled and permeated the entire hall. The scene jwas an animated one as the delegates filed into the hall and took places in the space" assigned for their districts. The crowd was well handled by a large force of sergeants-at-arms under Samuel 3. Kercheval as chief. A number j of policemen stationed at the doors and other conspicuous spots facilitated -the movement of the crowd. Secretary "Whittaker of the state committee had charge of the stage jwhere the notables were seated. Between 300 and 400 women were seated in the balconies and on the stage. They were as interested as any cf the men, and durin the session many opera glasses were directed toward the platform and on the sea of eager faces on the delegates' floor. When Senator Beveridge arrived the band was playing "Dixie." He was recognized at once and given the customary applause. He wore a closefitting Prince Albert coat, with lightcolored trousers and. large black puff tie. He looked fit for the work boiore him. The dictum of the state committee that none of the candidates should have the privilege of the floor was displeasing to some of them, but they had to stand for iL Great applause greeted Col. Charles Jewett of New Albany, when he was Introduced as chairman of the commit' tee on resolutions to read its report.

The report was adopted with a .huge chorus of ayes, and without a dissenting vote. , On the call of districts for nominations for secretary of state, Hon. J. Frank Hanley of the Tenth district nominated Daniel E. Storms of Lafayette. His nomination was seconded by the Thirteenth district, and a mction to suspend the rules of the convention and nominate Mr. Storms by acclamation was carried with a whirl.

THE PLATFORM Principles Upon Which the Republican Party In Indiana Stands. The Republican! of Indiana, In convention assembled, hereby make declaration of the following party principles: We cordially affirm the platform adopted by the Republican national convention at Philadelphia in 1900, and pledge anew oar adherence to the principles therein enunciated. The party is to be congratulated that It enters the campaign nnlted and harmonious. We view with pleasure the unprecedented measure of prosperity which prevails throughout Indiana and the entire country, the rich fruit of Republican policies and Republican administration; and we deprecate erery effort to OTerthrow the laws and the administration under which such results are accomplished. We mourn the death of our great leader and president, William McKinley. He was an ideal citisen, a statesman of profound wisdom, a patriot of the most exalted purpose. - lie was beloved beyond all others by all the people. The country under his administration attained a degree of unpara lleled prosperity and won the highest pres tige among the nations of the earth. The clTlllzed world shares In our sorrow. His came and services are a part of the splendid and enduring history of the' republic. In the death of General. Benjamin Harri son the nation has lost a brare soldier and one of Its purest, wisest and most trusted statesmen, and Indiana her most illustrious citizen. General Harrison left to. his country a rich legacy of good deeds done. We revere his memory and mourn his loss. The Republicans of Indiana express their profound sorrow upon the death of Cover nor James A. Mount. His personal . life and character, his patriotic serrlces as a soldier in the war for the Union and his unselfish loyalty to his commonwealth make his name one of reverent and grateful mem ory. We cordially endorse the able and patri otic administration of President Roosevelt Succeeding to the presidency under tragic circumstances and pursuing the policy of his Illustrious predecessor, he at once won the confidence and approval of the American people. We ire proud of his courage, bis purity and his devotion to the interests of the entire country, and pledge him the earnftst support of the Republicans of In dlana In all his efforts to continue and ad vance the prosperity of the people at home and the glory of the republic abroad. We are gratified that Cuba will soon pass to the control of her own people and that a new republic has arisen upon the ruins of monarchy. We favor just and liberal re ciprocal relations between the United States and the republic or cods,, which by the valor of American arms and the wisdom of American statesmanship U added to the txtaixj of nations.

We arprove the course of the admin

tration in establishing peace and civil gov ernment In the Philippines. We oppos those who continue to resist the authority of the United States, whether openly is arms in the Philippines or secretly or openly In the United States, In sympathy Witt the Insurgents. We hold to the doctrlnt that American sovereignty must be respect ed within the United States and all territory under its jurisdiction. We favor the establishment of absolute peace in the Phllpplnes and the erection ol civil government therein. We Insist that the people of the islands shall be given Increased participation in the administration of their domestic affairs as they shall demonstrate intelligence nud capacity foi self-government. We are opposed to all trusts or combinations of capital whose purpose or effect is to restrict business or control prices. And we especially denounce those whose tendency Is to Increase the cost of living and the necessaries of life. We favor legislation to prevent such abuses. We approve the sincere and determined effort of President Roosevelt to enforce the laws against Illegal combinations in restraint of trade, and demand that administrative officers, state and national, shall enforce all laws In the most vigorous manner, so that legitimate competition shall not be embarrassed or destroyed. We adhere to the policy of protection. Under It our Industries have developed and the opportunities of labor have been Increased and wages maintained at a higher rate than vould have been otherwise possible. We favor the extension of our markets through carefully guarded reciprocity arrangements with other countries wherever It can be done without "interrupting our home production." While we favor such modifications of tariff schedules as from time to time are required by changing conditions, we Insist that such changes shall be made in line with the fundamental principle of protection. Our faith in the gold standard has been amply Justified by the wonderful strides of American industry and commerce since Its adoption. We are gratified that Republican diplomacy has secured the abrogation of the Clay-ton-BuIwer treaty, enabling the government to proceed with the construction of a ship canal between the Atlantic and Taclrlc oceans under the authority of the United States and the protection of our flag. We favor the most stringent national and state legislation to suppress anarchy. We approve the enactment by congress of legislation which will debar Chinese from gaining admission to the United States to the Injury of American labor, and we demand the enforcement of immigration laws which shall exclude all unworthy and undesirable Immigrants whose presence menace our citizenship or Injure our wage workers. We recognize as a continuing obligation the debt of gratitude due from the republic to the soldiers and sailors whose valor saved the life of the nation, and those who won glory for Its flag in Mexico, In the recent war with Spain, In the Philippines and In China. A proper recognition cf this sacred obligation demands that liberal provision be made by pensions for the disabled survivors of these veterans, and the widows and helpless orphans of those who are dead. We are gratified that through a Republican congress and a republican administration Indiana will soon be repaid by the United States mere than fGOO.OGO, balance due the state for money advanced In her patriotic efforts to preserve the integrity of the republic. The Republican party of Indiana Indorses the conduct of Its senators and representatives In the congress of the nation, and Is proud of the ability shown, and the conspicuous and controlling part taken by each In shaping legislation and bringing added glory and honor to the state they so ably represent. The administration of the state's affairs by Governor WInflel'2 T. Durbin has been one of marked success. Devoted to the best Interests of all the people of the commonwealth, he has the hearty Indorsement of the Republicans of Indiana. Bringing to the discharge of the duties of chief executive the experience of a successful business life, he has diligently and steadily labored to place the financial management of all the departments along the lines of most careful accountings and competent, conservative control The supervision of state Institutions has been exceedingly faithful. His appointments on boards of control have been of a superior and representative character, and his efforts have been earnest and careful toward the very highest efficiency both as to management and the letter and spirit of the laws. In the management of the state's financial affairs the Republican party believes that the state government Is like any great business Institution, considered from the standpoint of accountability and responsibility to the people of the commonwealth. It believes the humblest taxpayer is an Interested' stockholder in the financial affairs of the state's business, and that Inefficiency, Indifference or waste In public administration, expenditures or accountings Is a crime; and It believes that the present system of state government Is the most economical and efficient that has ever been established. The party takes especial pride In the financial record made by Its efficient officers since taking control of the executive department. Since that time the party has established just fee and salary laws; the tax levy has been reduced; the state debt has been decreased over one-half, and th present administration will furthr reduce the debt more than $2,000,000, leaving th state free from any debt maturing prior to 191i During this time the state has established a soldiers' home, where the soldier veteran and his wife may find comfort ana care; and the orphans of the soldiers and sailors are likewise cared for, educated and fitted for the dalles of "lire at Their "home at Kaightstown. In addition, during this time, the reformatory and benevolent institutions have been enlarged and extended, the management is humanitarian and nonpartisan, until Indiana leads the advance in the progressive movement for the alleviation of the unfortunate classes committed to' her care. The legislative policies and measures of the party In enacting laws for the protection and benefit of labor, and laws regulating county and township business, have proven successful and are . an earnest of other advances and reforms which the party will give to the commonwealth from time to time when needed. We pledge the people thit the Republican party will not confer special privileges on railway or other combinations, but will maintain and preserve the right of lawful competition and the supremacy of the laws over all corporations and monopolies. The laws touching the garnishment of wages should te revised. And the laws for the protection of miners must be observed and enforced. The Republican party demand: ine adoption and enforcement of proper laws regulating nominations, securing to every man the right to express his cholc fur tb candidate of the party to which he belongs, whether the nominations are midn by a direct primary or a delegate or mass Convention. The state central committee Is Instructed to prepare and adopt suitable and proper rules and regulations which shall In the future govern the mode and manner of the selection of delegates to state, congressional and legislative conventions. The completion of the monument, raised tod dedicated to the soldiers and sailors of Indiana, Is a tribute to the heroism and ralor of the brave men of this tat vfcose services and sacrifices preserved the republic and rendered possible the present happiness and glory of the nation. It will stand as a witness te tae sspreclatloa of a Cratsfol peopl

KING OF FINANCE

J. Pierpont Morgan the World's Greatest Power.; 60NTR0LS $5,000.000.000 Wields More Influence In the Rffairs of the Globe Than Any -Monarch or Potentate. i New York, April 28 When J. Pierpont Morgan added the transatlantic steamship combination to the list of great concerns he has promoted and financed the total capital of the companies and trusts he controls was swelled to 5,210.993,386. He has large interests in concerns he does not pretend to control and, therefore, the real total of his vast holdings is unknown. A local newspaper said: "It has been made plain that that J. Pierpont Morgan's real intention is to girdle the globe and capture the carrying trade of the world. All he Deeds is the Russian Transsiberian road, which American engineers are building. Mr. Morgan is now planning to build railways m China. He has asked China for a permit. A week before last he secured the transatlantic steamers. Gast week he was after the South;'; American ships and railways. V What next he will 'do no man knows. "Mr. Morgan and six other American citizens have now become more powerful than any congress or parliament in the world. Fourteen steamship lines and forty-four railroads are theirs. On land a mileage of 108,500 and on sea a tonnage of 1', 200, 000 are in theV control. Three hundred of largest steamships in the worl(f-a.ad over 30,000 of the best equipped passenger and freight trains take orders from them. This railway mileage is greater than the combined mileage of Great Britain, Russia, Germany, Spain, Holland and Belgium. And more than 300 vessels, which will sail under its orders, cannot be duplicated from the merchant marine of every ocean. "A world-wide transportation trust has long been Mr. Morgan's dream. English newspapers are making comically pitiful pleas to Morgan to let England come into the new trust, not as an annex to America, but as an equal partner. The fact that Mr. Morgan is addressed in tones of supplication shows that he is absolutely master. No Alexander in all his glory; not Cesar Augustus, nor even Napoleon with all his mighty armies, was such a conqueror as J. P. Morgan with his little 'yes' and 'no' that makes or unmakes trusts. "No king is one-tenth so powerful as Morgan. Edward VII, Emperor William, Nicholas of Russia any of these is a pigmy in real power, compared with Mr. Morgan. By nationality an American, : he is in fact a citizen of all countries. Almost every kind of man- who labors works for Morgan through some of his companies.' Rudyard Kipling, Lew Wallace all the geniuses who in ' the fine frenzy dash off poetry and write stories for Harper's, are working for Morgän. The patient scientists are digging out minute facts for Morgan to scatter to the world. The art ist with pencil and brush draws and paints, and Morgan pays them. "So absolute has he become that while he is personally worth perhaps not more than a hundred millions of dollars, corporations over which he has control possess more wealth than there is gold on the earth. The total capitalization of all the companies he controls is $5,210,993,386 and all the gold coined or uncoined, in all the nations, including the populous East, is estimated at 14,847,000,000.

There are in all the whole known world about 1,320,000,000 human beings. J. P. Morgan controls enough to give each 84. More than a million men are employed by the companies Mr. Morgan controls, This means that five million men, women and children are dependent on him for a living or rather, that five million persons contribute to his comfort." 18,000 RUSSIANS REVOLT

Eighty Estates Sacked and it is Feared that Towns Will Be Attacked. Sr. Petersburg, April 23 Eighteen thousand peasants in the provinces of Kharkoff and Voltava are m revolt. Already eighty estates have been sacked and everything destroyed that could not be carried away. The Duke of Mecklenburg's estate at Karlovka was sacked because the steward who was charged with distributing relief appropriated part of the money and pocketed the balance of a reduction of rent that the Duke had conceded to his tenants. The whole region is terrorized, and landowners and stewards are fleeing for safetj The fear is increasing that Kharkoff and other towns will be attacked. Some of the authorities are showing weakness and pusillanimity, while others are cruellv vigorous and are causing wholesale floggings of persons arrested. The agitation at Moscow is so serious that the Czar has relinquished his intention of spending the Russian Easter there. The ministers, including M. de Witte the minister of Finance, continue to receive letters threatening them with death. The judicial inquiry into the asasination April 15 of M. Sipiaguin, the minister f the interior has led to the arrests of many persons suspected of connection with an anti-government conspiracy. These include a Jewess, who is the financee of Balschaneff,,the assassin of the minister, and her father, who supplied Balschaneff with money. Loss of Half a Million. Glens Falls, N. Y., April 28 A disastrous fire visited Glens Falls yesterday, causing a property loss estimated at over half a million dollars. The fire started in the clothing store of Webb Bros, on Glen street and from thence spread to the large plant of the Joseph Fowler Shirt and Collar Company, occupying the upper story of nearly the entire block. Then, fanned by high wind, the flames communicated to the neighboring buildings. The destruction of the Fowler shirt plant throws nearly 800 operatives out of employment and 200 more will be out of work temporarily. It is thought the insurance will nearly cover the losses. Ham Sandwich Ten Cents. Chicago, April 29. For the first time in many years in this city a cash outlay of ten cents is necessary for the acquirement of one ham sandwich. The price has been five cents, but the restaurants have put up the valuation because of the prices they are compelled to pay for meat. Roast beef sandwiches have advanced five cents, from ten to fifteen cents. It is estimated that 300,000 ham sandwiches are consumed in Chicago every day, and the increased cost to the public will therefore be 15,000 on the ham proposition alone. The Cholera Epichmic Manila, April 28 The cholera situation in the islands does not ,show any improvement. Cholera cases are reported among the American soldiers in the Camarines provinces of southern Luzon and elsewhere, but so far few Americans have been attacked and the disease is mainly confined to natives and Chinamen In Manila there have been 555 cases and 449 deaths from cholera, while the provinces report 1,599 cases and 1,169 deaths.

BALDWIN'S RELIEF

Plans for Auxiliary Expedition to Polar Regions. EXPLORER'S POSITION Party to Leave Sooh Tor Europerrlthjof Chartered Ter Trlp-Cx-. plorcr's Position Known. New York, April 29. Plans for the auxiliary Baldwin-Reig-ler expedition to northern polar regions have been completed and the men who have been entrusted with its direction and management will shortly leave for Europe. The steamer Frithjof which, with the America, conveyed the Baldwin party to Franz Josefland, has been chartered tor the work and will depart from Tromsoe on July 1. The auxiliary expedition will be in charge of W. S. Champ, secretary to William Jeizler, who will sail for Europe on the steamship Cymric on May 23d and the remainder of the party will leave on the steamship Pretoria June 7. Mr. Champ and all his assistants have had experience in the arctic regions. The Frithjof will again be commanded by Capt. Kjeldsen, whose work in the arctic has been conspicuous. The Frithjof will go from Tromsoe to Camp Zeigler on Alger island, which is in longitude 80, latitude 24 north, and there secure the last instructions left by Baldwin. It is believed here that Baldwin has worked to the northward of Alger island and thaf the America is fast in the ice. Then the America is found an effort will be made to refill her bunkers with coal and work her out of the ice pack. It is thought that Baldwin used the America for winter headquarters and worked north with sledges establishing caches preparatory for the dash to the pole. Baldwin's associates here are of the opinion that he began his northern movement for the pole about the middle of February and that he will reach the highest point about the middle of June, and the Frithjof expedition is timed to meet him. Baldwin has always believed that he would find a drift that would take him out by way of Greenland, but his associates are of the opinion that his return will be across- the ice toward Franz Josefland. Mr. Champ's plan after releasing from America will be to establish a patrol with a hope of picking up the Baldwin party. It is planned to cover a stretch of 150 miles east and west across the route most likely to be taken by Baldwin. SEVERITY NECESSARY Waller Declares Natives of Samar More Implacable than Soudanese. Washington, April 29 At yesterday's proceedings of the court-martial of General Jacob H. Smith, Major Littleton W. T. Waller of the marine corps testified his belief that General Smith did not intend women and children to be killed. Major Waller testified to receiving from General Smith the orders to "kill and burn" and render Samar "a howling wilder nes," previously referred to in these dispatches. The natives of Samar, said Major Waller, were more treacherous and implacable than the tribesmen of the Soudan. Without General Smith's drastic measures the war there would not have been ended yet. General Smith never intended Killing women or children. The surrender of General Guevarrra, the insurgent leader in Samar, which practically ends

the insurrection in that island, is regarded by the administration as a justification of General Jacob H. Smith's active and relentless campaign in that part of the Philippines. The democrats in congress in their effort to force scuttle policy have for two weeks kept up an incessant fire in the rear, attacking General Funston General Chaffee and also General Smith for his order to kill and burn until Samar was made a howling wilderness. This has had its effect on some of the more sentimental republicans, but it has not changed in the least the determination of the administration to subdue the insurrection in the Philippines, and sustain General Chaffee and his army in the use of the most vigorous war measures to that end. President Roosevelt has carefully read all the military reports regarding the campaign in Samar, and he has supervised all the orders that have been transmitted from Washington to General Chaffee regarding that campaign. He is as desirous as any member of congress that the army in the Philippines shall be free from all brutality and unnecessary cruelty, but he does not propose to judge General Smith or any other American officer by insufficient or unreliable evidence. THOUSANDS AT THE GATES.

Work Resumed at Singer Factory Monday Morning. South Bend, Ind., April 29. Thousands of people including strikers and those who hoped to get work in the expected big rush to get back into the Singer works after ten weeks' strike, gathered at the shop gates at an early hour Monday morning, but found them closed even later than the usual hour for opening. It was known that the unions had accepted manager Pine's conditions at a mass meeting, Saturday night, but when the gates were at last opened, and the foreman began singling out those they wanted to work, an ugly feeling became evident, the men seeing in it a discrimination against the stronger unionists. Manager Pine addressed them telling of the physical imposibility of taking all the men back. He told them it would be the work of several days to get the army of employes adjusted. Many did not understand. A rush was made by a few at Supnrintendant Parks, whose innovations since he came from New York, last September, have been objectionable, but the attack was warded off, When the whistle blew only a small part of the many hundred waiting employes were inside the shop, besides those who had gone to work last week. Large groups of excited men gathered about the gates and on the business streets, an -listened to men who were even more excited, but no trouble resulted, although there was a threat to call out the men again. Manager Pine said that he will take the men back as fast as they can be put to work, but it will require several days to adjust matters. Dies from a Rare Disease. Tamaqua, Fla., April 2S Frank Lentz, aged 27 years, ot Paterson near here, was found dead in bed last evening. For the past year the boy had been suffering with a disease which the physicians diagnosed as acute cloasma. When he was taken ill his skin was covered with black blotches, which gradually ran together until he became as dark as a negro. The disease was mark 3d by extreme lassitude, and as time wore on the boy wasted away until he was little more than skin and bones. For the past two weeks he partook of little or no nourishment The case is said to be a rare one. For Sale. Some of the most desirable building and business locations in the city. 30tt C. H. Resve.
