EXTRACTS FROM THE REPUB.
LICAN PLATFORM.

we especially %denOunce the hostile at.
titude of the democratic party toward
the wool interests of the United States,
whereby one of the principal industries
OF Montana has been ruined and those
engaged in it bankruptcd by the depre-
citation in value of all their property and
products to the extent of more than one
half, and the consequent loss to the state
of millions of dollars.
*
We invite attention to the contrast be-
tween the content and prosperity of the
American people under the influence of
republican legislation and administra-
ton, and the conditions of hardship, dis
tress and disorder that have resulted
from eighteen months of democratic
rule; and we call upon the citizens of
Montana to arise above the prejudices of
partisanslip and join us on the platform
of a common patriotism in the redemp-
ton of the land from ruin and the restor-
alton of its welfare. ~
~
We believe that the consistent applica-
ton of the principle of protection re-
quires the regulation of imported persons
as we'll as imported products, and that
the time has now come when we should
enact vigorous measures of legislation to
prevent the incnrsion of underpaid and
ignorant laborers from the old world,
and so reconstruct our laws respecting
naturalization as to place additional safe
guards around American citizenship. 4
~
We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1,
and the making of silver as we'll as gold
a legal tender in payment of all debts,
both public and private; and pledge our
senators and representative in ngr
to the support of the policy expressed
in this resolution, irrespective of the
action of republican members from
other sections of the union. We further
demand that this policy shall be estab-
lished forthwith by the independent ac-
ton of our government regardless of
what any other country may or may not
do.
We hereby pledge all republican can
didates for the legislature, if elected, to
vote only for such candidates for the
United States senate as are known from
their record and past utterances to be
uncompromisingly in favor of such free
coinage.
We denounce the action of the presi-
lent of the United States in failing to
executive for the period of four months

THIRD ARREST.
On Suspicion, in Coburn Muir
der Case at Gorham.
tut Little New Developed Private In
quest to be Held, Today.
Christian Workers at Portland Term OF
Court at Bath.

Portland, Dec. 16--About the Coburn
murder case at 6orham there is very little
material news. Lewis and Coleman, the
two hired men, are still in custody, also
Edward Graffam, Lewis friend who
worked at Abner Lowells, where Cole
man is said to have been at the time OF
the murder. 1t is not known that there
is a strong suspicion of Graffam, but he
was intimate with Lewis and is held for
the purpose of finding out all that is pos
sible about Lewis.
The officers are questioning both Lewis
and Graffam closely in order to ascertain
how nearly they can account for every
minute of their time on the evening of
the murder. Graffam was absent from
Lowell's when the murder took place, but
says he can prove that he was at the vii
iagc.
What motive any Of the hired men could
nave had for so brutal crime is not
known and that is a strong point in favor
Of their innocence. An inquest will be
held privately at Gorham, tomorrow.

CHARGED WITH ..GOUGING."
Cadet bennett Of Maine at Annapolis, Charged
With Serious Offence.

Washington, Dec. 16--There was re-
markable gathering in the private Office
of the secretary of the navy, yesterday 1t
had all the attributes of court of inquiry
with a personnel, however, of unusual
Importance.
Secretary Herbert presided. Judge Ad-
vocate General Lemley and one of his as
sistants conducted the prosecution; ex-
Speaker Reed and Congressman Boutelle
appeared for the defence, and among the
witnesses were six cadets from the naval
academy, who had been brought from An
napolis this morning, in charge of Capt.
Phillip H. Cooper, the superintendent
Commander Asa Walker, Lieutenant
Commander b. +. Tilley and Lieut. John
A. Norris, officers on duty at the academy.
Capt. McNair, Capt Cooper's predeccs-
sor in command of the academy, was also
present, having been summoned from the
naval observatory.
Beyond these particulars, the only in
formation available to naval officers, was
that Maine cadet at the academy had
been detected in what is termed ''goug-
ing at an examination: that the super
intendent in obedience to the regulations
had recommended him to the secretary OF
the navy for dismissal, and that the Maine
delegation in Congress was endeavoring
to save'the boy.
"Gouging' is an objectionable offence
at Annapolis. 1t consists in using a
crib or concealed notebook at an exam
ination. The cadet implicated denies the
charge.
The hearing in the case before Sec.
Herbert continued from 10 A. NJ, until 2
Z. NJ, and with half an hours recess,
until o'clock, when the case was ad-
iourned until Monday morning.
The case in question is Stanley p. Den
nett of Maine. bennett was tried by
court martial, which sentenced him to
dismissal. He is flrst-class man, who
entered the academy in September, 1891,
and would have graduated next June.

THE LIMIT EXPIRES.
Fall River Operatives Want More Pay, But
Mills Can't Give II.

Fall River, Mass, Dec. 16.-There is
much activity among the unions of the
city, owing of the expiration, yesterday,
of the 60 days limit. This limit meant
if the margin between the cost of eight
pounds of cotton and the selling price oi
10 yards of G4x64 print cloth, exceeded
So cents, the operatives would be entitled
to an increase of 10 per cent. in wages.
The margin is n per cent. or there
abouts, and consequently the manufac-
turers have no thoughts of making move
toward the readjustment of the present
schedule, but the unions propose to take
action looking toward restoration. Dur
ing the coming week, the weavers will
make formal demand.
In the call for the meeting issued by the
Carders' Union, Saturday, Secretary Tan
sey advises the members to attend the
next meeting, when the matter of affiliat-
ing with the Mule Spinners' Association

that the operatives intend to bind together

in Adjourning Parliament.

Paris, Dec. 16.-The Mathis Rome
correspondent says; "Pror TO the pro
rogation of Parliament, Premier Crispi re-
ported to King Hunbort substantially;
Your recent speech from the throne out
lined the work Of the coming session, and
as everybody believed, n period of fruitful
peace was at hand. The financial pro-
gramme was received with favor. Tho
government planned it without regard of
the parties, TO strengthen public conf
dence. Suddenly your hopes and those of
the country were thwarted. After persis-
tently demanding a discussion of the cabi-
nets domestic policy, the deputies
checked the same in the very way 70 re-
yive the old scandals The result was n
strange coalition which becloudcd the
judgment of Parliament and defied the
authority of the President Therefore the
cabinet decided unanimously to proroguc
Parliament that The Chamber might
be saved from the snares and surprises
which beset it and have time 10 recover
the calm Indispensable 10 wise action.
The correspondent adds that the premier
remarked TO friends that he was cousolcd
for many trials by the hearty support no
had received from the King.

fenceless villages in the Sassoun region at
the time of the massacre. An other en-
voy carries also four banners from the
Sultan TO the four leading koordish chiefs
who were associated with the military
commander in the reported massacre and
who probably Were the instigators of it.
After the Sultan has thus approved of
the action of his troops and of the Kooris,
it will be impossible for any commission
appointed by the Turkish government TO
investigate the outrage and bring in any
report that reflects upon the action of
either the Koortls or the army BY this act
the Sultan seems TO assume all the respon-
sibilities OF what has been done.
"These stories of wrong and oppression
have aroused the civilized world. We are
glad to learn that our government has di-
rected one of its consuls To make an indie
pendent investigation of all matters con-
nected with the reported massacres, But
our government doesn't stand in the same
relation to Turkey as do the European
powers that under the treaty of Berlin
secured the right of seeing that good
government was maintained throughout
the Turkish Empire.
''The right thus guaranteed ought now
TO be exercised, and the first step should
be most thorough investigation as to
the condition of affairs throughout Ar
menia. We cannot doubt that the Euro
pean powers will attend to their duty.
