ToPFKA (Kas.), June l3.-The minority

vocating a constitutional amendment for
woman suffrage, was received with a
storm of applause in the Populist Con-
vention to-day. The report was signed
by eight members of the committee. The
convention decided to debate the subject
till noon.
AT / O'Clock the convention decided to
insert suffrage plank by vote of 326
to $50.
The announcement of the vote created
tremendous enthusiasm. Lara Johns, a
Republican suffragist, pilAned Populist
badge on the shoulder of Susan b. An
thony, and shook hands with the dele
gates right and left.
Immediately upon the adoption of the
woman-sutfrage plank the convention
adopted the entire platform. with a few
tri1iing exceptions in phraseology, as was
reported yesterday morning. The clause
which added the suffrage plank was that
it should not be a test of party fealty.
The delegates struggled in very slowly
after the neon recess and 1t was 2:40 be-
fore the Chairman could secure order.
The sensation of the day was sprung on

viva voce vote.
