The Famous Worshipper of Protection
VIII Run A gain.


CLEVELAND, Aug. 26. - The opera
house was jammed full of republicans when
slIIon this afternoon. A telegram from
Secretary Blaine was read, causing im-
mense cheering. Congressman Smyzer
introduced Judge Minson. of Medina,
who made the speech nominating McKin-
ley. He reserved McKinicy's name
to the last, and as it was pro-
nounced cheers and shouts arose
that fairly shook the house. When the
vote was called for by Smyzer, the walls
quivered with the mighty aye that

cheered again. Maj. Mckinley then fol-
lowed with his speech of acceptance, which
was a mastery effort. A number of other
speeches were made and the convention
ended amid great enthusiasm.

TO PROTECT BRAKENIEN.
The Introduction of TiD>eIy Bill Into
Congress


WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Representa-
tive Caldwell, from the committee on rail
road and canals today reported to the
house a bill agreed upon by the committee
TO compel the railroad companies engaged
in the interstate commerce, within a
reasonable time, to equip their cars with
such safety or automatic safety couples as
will not require train men to go between
tie ends of cars to couple or to uncoupIe
them and with automatic brakes so that
the speed of the train can be controlled by
the engineer.
The report submitted by the bill points
out the fearful loss of life and limb occas-
ioned by the keeping in use of link and
pin coupling and the hand break on freight
cars, and say from the statistics of rail
road accidents of this nature, I'VE have
the terrible intimation that 10000 young
men in the nation suffer painful or fatal
accidents from these two causes annually.

PLANNING A REVOLUTION.
The Hawaiian Natives Are Not Satisfied
with the Present Government.

SEATTLE. Wash, Aug. 25.-AdmiraI
Brown, of the flagship Charleston. which
has arrived here from Honolulu. expressed
the belief, In an interview, that the next
steamer from the Hawaiian Islands will
bring news of revolution. and probably
the declaration of new republic. He said :
Hitherto the Hawaiian government has
been managed largely by Europeans and
Americans, but that the educated ma
tlves were beginning to feel that they
were competent to conduct the Hawaiian
government, and that the part played by
foreigners In the control of affairs was an
unwarranted interference with their sacred
lights. Accordingly the natives have
gathered around them band of followers,
daily increasing in strength, who have
raised the cry Hawaii for Ha-
waiians.' The Tevolutionists want the
offices at the disposal of the government
The malcontents have. in meetings with
the Mechanic union, passed resolutions
asking that the patronage be given to
natives and members of their own party
The request was ignored by the govern
ment. The United States knowing the
unSolidlty of affairs, sent the Charleston
out there about three months ago to pro-
tect our citizens and our interests. Ac.
cordingly good deal of American prop
erty had accumulated in the islands,
which | was instructed to protect During
all of my stay there matters were becoming
more and more perturbed, and an
uprising by the revolutionistS had
actually been planned for the
4th of August. | learned of it
on the first day of the month but we re-
ceived sailing orders on the second. The
news of our intended departure evidently
led the revolutionary party to postpone
until after we left the execution of their
design, but confidently expect to hear by
the next advices from Honolulu that there
has been an actual revolution attempted,
if not actually ACCOMPLISHED. "

Repudiates all Republican Measures

ST. Paul Pioneer Press, (repl: The
Wisconsin republican convention adopted
a platform which is signifcant-an will
probably be more significant TO the Mckin-
leyites than to any other class-for its
omissions. 1t makes not the slightest
allusion to The tariff bill; but does speak,
and approvingly, too, of the proposed
reciprocal trade relations with the Span
ish Americans Furthermore, the plat
form also fails to mention the measure
which now divides with the Mckinley
bill the attention of congress. l. e., the
elections bill. Perhaps the leading advo-
Gates of high tariff bills and force bills
will learn after awhile that the most
prominent republican papers of the west
do not mIsrepresent their constituencies
when they fight the Mckinley atrocity and
the Lodge fallacy.
