the square and is elevated some five
feet above the floor level In front Of
this platform, and extending back to
the south side Of the square is the
space assigned to delegates, whose
chairs, to the number Of about 1000,
face the presiding officers chair, and
are securely nailed to the floor. Flank
ing this space to the east and to the
west are fixed the chairs of the alter
mates, facing not the platform, but the
position of the delegates.
Back of the platform tiers Of chairs,
separated into compartments for
facility of entrance or exit, from the
northern gallery. On the other three
sides of the square the galleries occupy
the entire space. They appear to be
rather steep pitched, bnt space has
been gained by the increased slope, so
that the four galleries can seat nearly
1900 people, To be accurate, the
whole number of chairs placed in the
hall for delegates, aItefnates, press
correspondents and spectators amount
to 1910.
The platform for the president, sec
retaries and distinguished visitors ex-
tends out a good space from the line of
the gallery that rises behind and above
it. The framework which reaches
from the floor is covered with dark-red
cloth, over which national flags, upon
brass javelined slaves, cross or are
turned gracefully. On the front of the
gallery, which rises behind the presid-
ent's table, is a portrait of Abraham
Lincoln, draped with the American
flag. Above this again is a picture of
Washington. Immediately to the right
of Lincoln is a small photograph of
Gen. Grant, and to the left similar
one Of Gen. Sheridan.

The Contempt Bill Passed.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE senate
has disposed of the last of the appro-
priation bills and has fixed four p. m.
to-day as the time for final adjourn
ment. After being in session through
out the day, a night session was de-
termined upon in order to adjust the
many minor differences between the
two houses. A number of bills were
passed during the day, including the
important bill giving trial by jury and
other safeguards in prosecution for
contempt of court. The measure has
been vigorously urged by labor inter.
ests, particularly railroad employees. 1t
is the result of the agitation resulting
from the Imprisonment of Eugene Y.
Debs for contempt of injunction issued
at the time of the Chicago strike. The
bill as passed continues the power of
summary punishment when an Offense
is committed in the immediate pres
ence of a judge. But in indirect con-
tempts, such as violation of an injuno-
tion, the bill provides that the accused
shall be given a fall hearing, with OPP
portunity to summon witnesses and
offer a defense.

The Permanent Organization Effected
and in Control.
ST. LOUIS, June 17.-For hours be-
fore the convention met for the second
days work the committees had been at
work, the majority always bound to
have its way in each, but striving to
make it as easy as possible for the
minority. The majority is, of course,
made up of Mckinley men, but the
bitter pills will be sugar-cOated as
much Is possible by Hanna.
The report of the committees will be
accepted without a doubt There are
hints Of a sensation being sprung be-
fore the convention begins balloting
for candidates, which is the last thing
on the programme, but the Mckinley
men and managers are so sure of
victory, that they even laugh at the
suggestion that to day is the 8lst an
niverssry of Nspoleon's waterloo. They
say that the Ohio Napoleon knows no
waterloo, and that Hanna will see to it
that there will be none.
Senator John NJ. Thurston was
named for temporary chairman and
took the gayel. After the applause
which greeted him had subsidized, he
made a short speech in acknowledge
ment Of the honor conferred upon him.
The convention then adjourned until
two o'clock to give the committees time
to report. The Mckinley men are i'm
patient over the delay and may break
the programme and nominate their
man before the committe on resolu-
tons report.

Declares He Is Beaten II He is Forced to

ST. LOUIS, June IA. II. Ellis, the
republican nominee for congress IN the
Sixth Kansas district, arrived this
morning in great distress over the
prospect of a gold standard platform.
He said:
saw as I came through Kansas City that
Cyrus Leland had come cut unqualihsdly Cor

to do. Kansas don't want anything Of that
kind, and Kansas men should not encourage

WATER SUPPLY ATTACKED.
The Cuban Insurgents Use Dynamite at
Havana.

me NuDaH insurgents Use dynamite AZ
Havana.
HAVANA, June 15.-The city was
startled and alarmed Saturday night
at nine o'clock by the noise of two sue
cessive explosions which shook the
ground for long distance and we're
heard for miles. CONSERVATION pre-
vailed for time, as it was feared this
was a prelude to an attack or a series
of similar explosions. It was soon
found that the stone bridges of Cristina
and Concha and the aqueduct of Fer
nsndo Septimo were the points that
had suffered from the dynamite. The
bridges we're partially destroyed, and
the pipes on the aqusduot, upon which
the city is dependent for its water sup
ply were much damaged. There is no
doubt left that the dynamite which
caused this wreck was placed by agents
of the insurgents. It has been their
determination, announced some time
since, to cut of the water supply Of
Havana and to serve to make it as
nearly inhabitable rs possible. The
greatest apprehension is felt on &C
count of the secrecy and effectiveness
with which the insurgents have been
able to carry out the outrage.
Tt is believed the insurgents are bent
upon investing Havana by cutting OF
as much as possible the supply of nee
essaries, though not by actually be-
sieging it. All fruits and vegetables
and fresh meats are unprecedentedly
high priced and difficult TO obtain, and
milk is Of the poorest, such as is
brought in being much adulteFated be-
fore it is delivered. There is much
fever, and smallpox has broken out
here and, in the unBhOlesOme state Of
affairs, threatens 80 become epidemic
Many are suffering from measles and
I there is much intestinal trouble among
the inhabitants Of the city, owing 70
the poor aad insufficient food. The
fsiiur8 or Tire water supply under these
conditions is dire eaiaznity.

ST. LOUIS, No, June I7.-There was a
a pathetic scene in the room of the
committee On resolutions when the f.
nancisl plank was reached. Senator
Teller presented a minority report in
favor of silver and spoke in favor Of it.
Ais utterances we're followed with deep
interest, for all present realized that
the hour had arrived when one Of the
founders Of the republican party was
taking a step that would seperste him
from his party friends. He spoke of
long connection with the party Of his
early manhood. 1t was the party with
which he had since continually afiiliat
ed. It was the party which had honor
ed him in many ways and which had
always received his loyal support.
sBut," he exclaimed, "the time has
come when I shall be obliged to leave
it if it declares for the gold standard
he explained that his action was not
from personal motives, but in accord
with his principles and q conscientious
belief that he was in the right.
It is expected that Mr.. Teller's
speech in favor Of the silver plank be
viii offer will be the effort Of his life
after which he viii walk cat With the
western silver men at his back.

ELLIS FL0PS BACK AiAIR.
Says &c Isn't for Free Silver and Denies ths
Banday Interview.
The Gentleman Of Beioit Getting between
the Devil and ths Deep Sea on the
Financial Question,

TOPEKA, Kan, June 1.-THE Ellis in
terview at st. Louis Monday, in which
he declared for the free coinage Of sill
yer, caused considerable comment
among the politicians here, and asseg-
tons were freely made that pressure
would be brought to bear to change
his views. The change has been accom-
plished. A special to the State Journal
yesterday from st. Louis, says;
Judge A. H. Ellis, republican oandi-
date for congress in the Sixth Kansas
congressional district probably has
more trouble than any Kansas politi-
clan unless it be Gov. Morrill,. He was
feeling IN no pleasant mood this morn
ing when a State Journal correspond,
ent approached him.
The Kansas statesman was holding
in his hand a copy of a Kansas CITY
morning paper in which was what pur
ported to be an interview with him On
the financial issue. In the interview.
the judge was quoted as "being eterr.
ally and forever opposed to the gold
standard; that Kansas did not wai.t
such a standard, and that his consh-
tuency was for the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver"
"That statement and alleged intu
view with me-" said the prOspeCti-
congressman, shaking the paper -
emphasize his declaration, lis a williuf
and malicious fslsehood. l never mace
such statement and never will"
"But," asked the correspondent, "a
you not opposed to the gold standsrdT
Il stand on the financial platform Of
the Hill City convention that nominal
ed me. That's where I am on finance. "
"But are you not opposed to go
standard?"
81 have never publicly declared my
self on that question and do not care
to do so now" replied Judge Ellis.
"Are you in favor Of the free coinage
Of silver, them"
mo, am not. l do NOT believe In
the free coinage of silver, and do not
believe the people Of Kansas do
"Then will you define your position
on that question:"
II am a bimetallist. I believe as does
Prof. Andrews of Cornell, who was in
the late international monetary con-
gTess, that a double standard and not
a single standard of any kind whatsO-
ever, is what this country needs"
"You may say for me that l am op-
posed to either extreme in the cOnsid-
GRAFTON of this question. 1 sm a BIZ

ST. LOUIS, June 16.-The hall in which
the eleventh national republican con-
vention was called to order at noon TO-
day was especially constructed for the
occasion by the citizens of st. Louis at
a cost of over $4,000. Abominably ugly
in its exterior, its interior arrangements
appear to be ali that could be desired,
while its decorations, without being
lavish are in excellent taste. It is
quadrangular ia form, its length from
east to west being 265 feet and its
breadth from north to south 182 feet.
It therefore contains an area OF about
$4,000 square feet. With the exception
of the gallery supports, this immense
space has not pillar or column to inter
fere With sight or sound. The only
roof supports that are to be seen are
about q dozen traverse beams close to
the roof and crossing from north to
south, besides squaFe-heW timbeFsi
rather wide apart and not massive
which rest upon the galleries and aid
in sustaining the roof. These traverse
beams are covered with muslin and are
party concealed by bunting, and the
upright columns are also drsped.

THE ST. LOUIS PLATFORM.
Money Plank Is UnTsservedIy for Sound
Money"

Money Plank Is UnFsservedIy for "sOund
Money"
ST. LOUIS, June 16.-Tha text of the
financial plank of the platform was
agreed to this morning at a conference
held Immediately after breakfast by
Mr.. Hanna, Senator-eIect Foraker and
Senator Lodge. Tt is as follows:
"The republican party is unTeserved-
ly for sound money 1t caused the
enactment of the law providing for the
resumption of specie payment in 1879;
since then every dollar has been as
good as gold.
"We are unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our cur
rency, or impair the credit of our coun-
try. We are, therefore, opposed to the
free coinage of silver, except by inter
national agreement, and until such an
agreement can be obtained, the exist
ing gold standard must be supported.
All our silver and paper now in oircu-
lation as currency must be maintained
at parity with gold, and we favor all
measures designed to maintain inviola-
bly, the obligations of the United
States, and all our money, whether
coin or paper, at the present standard,
the standard of the most enlightened
nations of the earth"
The programme candidate for the
permanent craftsmanship is Senator
Thurston of Nebraska.
