The following is the platform (roport-
ed by Mr.. samuels, Of Iowa,) which
broke up the Charleston Convention:
Resolved, That we, the Democracy of
the Union, in Convention assembled,
hereby declare our affirmation Of the res
olutions unanimously adopted and do
clarcd as a platform Of principles by the
Democratic Convention at Cincinnati,
in the yeOr 1906, believing that Demo
cratic principles are unChangeable in
their nature when applied to the same
subject matter, and we recommend as
our only further resolutions the follow
ing:
That inasmuch as differences Of opin-
ion exist In the Democratic party az to
the nature and extent Of the powers Of
Territorial Legislature, and as to the pow
ers and duties Of Congress under the
Constitution Of the United States, over
the institution Of Slavery within the Ter
ritories.
Resolved, That the Democratic party
will abide by the decision of the Supreme
Court Of the United Suites over the in
stitution Of Slavery within the Terrific
RIGS,
Resolved, That II is the duty Of the
United States TO afford ample and COM
lplcto protection to oil It's citizens, at
home or abroad, aud whether native or
foreign born.
RESOLVED, That one of the necessities
Of the age, in a military, commercial and
postal point Of view, is speedy communi-
cation between the Atlantic and Pacific
States, and the Democratic party pledges
such constitutional enactment as will in
sure the construction of railroad 10 the
Pacific coast at the earliest practicable
period.
Resolved, That the Democratic party
arc in favor OF the acquisition of the Is.
land Of Cuba on such terms az shall be
honorable to ourselves and Just to Spain.
ResolUed, That the onuctmonts of State
Legislatures TO defeat the faithful cxecu.
tion of the Fugitive Slave Law are hos.
tile in character, subversive Of the Con.
stitution, and revolutionary in their ef.
/ feet.

denco Centre, Ohio. The house was oc.
cupicd by a German family. SO sudden
was the alarm that no time was given
for the rescue Of any of the property
/ Two of the inmates were burned 10 death.
The eldest son, fine young man of nine
teen years Of age, leapod from his bed
and rushed towards the door. On the
way his night clothes took fire, and before
he could reach the door he was onveloped
in flames. The door was bolted so that
his escape was prevented, and he sank 10
the floor and was burned to death.
A young brother, fourteen yeurs old,
did not awake until too late to make his
escape, and was burned to a cindcr as he
lay.
The father was almost frantic, and
rushed wildly into tho flames to save his
younger children. Whilst CARRYING out
the youngest child he had to actually
fight his way through tho fire, and was
shockingly burned about the face and
head.

EditOr Port 7oERsend Register:
DEAR SR:-I noticed in your issue Of last week
an article asking for information in regard to an
Indian suspected Of numbering the crews o., and
burning two schooners on Puget Sound, some
lS months ago. Since the publication Of your
article, the police Of this city have made diligvnt
inquiry, and succeeded yesterday in arresling
Hydah Indian, named "Jim," who Is suspected
of being concerned in the acts Of piracy. The
case was called yesterday in the Police Court,
but in the absence Of a reQuisition from the Gov.
emor OF Washington Territory, Judge Pvmber
ton was compelled to discharge him he re-
marking, at the same time, that he hoped the
Americans present would exert themselves to
procure his re-arrest under the Extradtion
Treaty.
As the law IN the case is plain, would 1t not
be well f the officials Of your place were to STIR
themselves In the matter. and procure . requisi.
ton from your acting Governor, and send an
officer, armed with writ. to this place. There
is also an Indian woman who was an eyewitness
to the affair; z a requisition for her also.
The police Of this place assure me that they
will give your officers all the assistance in their
power. You will rquire to be active, and try
and get the writ as soon a. possible, TO prevent
the Indian escaping. 0blige me by bringing
this 10 the notice Of your authorities immedi.
ately.
Yours, truly, in haste,
D. W. HI0oISs.
