Sea of Politics.
SYLVAN BEACH, N. Y. Aug 19.-The peo-
pies party convention this morning adopted
a platform reiterating allegiance to the
three basic planks of the Omaha
platform-a safe ana sound flexible national
money, which shall be full legal tender, with
free and unlimited coinage of silver and
gold at ratio of 16 to |; increase
in the circulating medium to $50 per capita;
the establishment of postal savings banks
and the government ownership Of telegraph,
railroad and telephone systems.
The platform declares that the present
distress is the result of lost conf
dence, induced by the wall of the cap
italists over the expectation of gold and the
Urgent demands of bankers for the issuance
of more government bonds.
The platform furthermore demands the
construction of public works for the
unemployed; that the hours OF labor
law be enforced; the state and
municipal ownership Of railroad, gas and
electric lighting plants.
Adopted Alter n wrnngie.
The platform was adopted after a wrangle
lasting four hours and during which con-
siderable unparlamentary language was
| used The question of Matchmaking the
liquor traffic produced II three-cornered fight
between the nationalists, prohibilionists and
| labor factions. The convention finally de-
| clared in favor of state ownership OF the
| liquor traffic, with the elimination of all
| profit.
| The silver question, the state canals and
| the labor question brought out widely differ
ent sentiments and one delegate shouted
| You are trying to ride too many horses at
once: better stick to free silver and national
| ism"
None of the women delegates got a
| chance to say anything and Farmer Dean,
who was in the chair, had great difficulty in
| preserving anything like order.
When it came to the selection of candi-
the delegates suggested fusion with the
| prollbitionists. He was shouted down by
the crowd and declared out of order by the
| chairman at the same time.
The following were chosen to represent
| the party on the state ticket: Secretary of
state, james Wright of Elmra; controller,
| d. Nj. $. Zero of Glen's Falls; treasurer, f.
II. Purdy of Bluff Point, Yates county; at.
torney general, Thaddeus B. Wakeman of

critt Webster of New York; judge of the
court of appeals, Lawrence j. McParin of

LONDON, Aug. 1S.-In Commons today
Gladstone announced that on Monday he
would move the adoption of a resolution to
apply the closure to the report on the state
of the home rule bill on Friday next
Chamberlain, leader of the unionists, gave
notice that he would have an amendment to
Gladstone's resolution, asking that the
House declare governments proposal calcu-
lated to degrade the House into a voting
machine, depriving the British majority of
its constitutional rights, and ought there
fore to be withdrawn, and that Parliament
ought to be dissolved at the earliest oppor-
tunity.
Mr.. Thomas d. Bowles, conservative,
asked the government whether the award
of the Bering tribunal imposed upon
Great Britain the obligation to forbid
pelagic sealing by British subjects at any
time whatever, within slxty-mile zone
| around the Pribilov islands, He also
wished to be informed if the award of
the tribunal forbade British sealers to
| use firearms, nets or explosives in their
vocation, and if it established a close season
| to be observed by pelagic sealers and put
| other restraints on British sealers while it
| imposed no obligation on the United States
! to restrict sealing at any time. He also de-
| sired to be informed if the effect of the
award would not be to give n practical
| monopoly to the Americans and deprive
| British subjects of share in itl
Sir Edward Grey, replying said it was
| not considered that the effect of the award
| would be this way True, he added, the use
| of firearms in the capture of seals had been
| forbidden, IA close season had been estab-
| lshed and only sailing vessels would be al
| lowed to engage in sealing The award i'm
| posed certain obligations on the Unit I'd
| States as well as upon Great Britain and nc
| thought these would not act to the prejudice
| Of British interests.
Eventually MIR. Chamberlain modified his
amendment by emitting the words calling
for an early dissolution.

Probability OF Trouble Among the starving
Thousands-Policeo on the Scene IN Force.
CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-The army of un-
employed in Chicago is divided against
itself and trouble may ensue at any time.
Blood has flown twice during the week.
To prevent a recurrence of the riot of
Thursday morning, caused by an assault
on crowd of several hundred Poles and
Russians, an extra detail of police from
the Forty-sevcnth street station has been
located in the stock yards.
1t was generally known among the
English speaking workingmen who com
mitted the assault that Captain Ward
had a score or more of men scattered
about the yards in citizens clothes and
no violence was offered yesterday. 1t is
estimated that 10000 idle men applied
for work at the various packing houses
during the morning. They appeared
once early in the day and swarmed the
houses asking for work, and the police
drove them out. They quietly dispersed,
returning to their homes to come again
this morning in the hope of finding en-
ployment. Among these idle men were
1000 recently arrived Russians and
Poles who, goaded by want and ap-
preaching destitution, have been offer
ing their services AZ from 80 to 70 cents
day. Some of them have offered to
work as cheaply as 30 cents day.
The promise of work at clearing away
the debris at the scene of the late fire at
the Nelson Morris company plant
brought great crowd of men there
yesterday morning. Among them were
many Russians and Poles, but there was
no violence offered the foreign-speaking
labor seekers as on the day before, prob
ably because of the presence of the po-
lice.
The feeling of hostility toward for
eigners is not concealed and only awaits
a favorable opportunity to vent itself
with bricks and stones. 1t is caused by
| the willingness of these men to work for
| less than an American will accept.
81 have nothing against the Poles,
said brawny fellow who is employed al
loading beef in cars. "They are honest
and good-natured fellows, but when they
offer to work so cheap it would max
any man hate the sight of them. They
may be hungry, it is true, but Il mar
should be man"
