tute the reiteration of the declaration
of 1892 on this subject, for which mere
" provides for the admission Of the
territories when it shall be made evil
dent that the conditions prevailing in
the territories are such as 10 entitle
them to admission. The substitute pre-
vailed.
Mr.. Lampson of Mississippi, color
ed member of the committee, offered a
resolution denouncing the lynching OF
colored people in the South. The reso-
luton was changed so as to provide for
the discontinuance Of lawlessness in all
parts of the country, and as amended
was adopted. The vote was then taken
on the financial plank, but not until
after ii had been amended by striking
out the words mot in circulation"
The last paragraph of the money
plank was changed to read: "All our
silver and paper currency must be
maintained al a parity with gold
Otherwise the plank was adopted as
printed yesterday.
There was no division on the vote on
sections following the money plank, al
though differences of opinion were ex-
pressed.
When it came to a vote on the adop-
ton of the majority report of the COM
mittee as a whole, there was no discus
sion, because the silver members had
dropped out and were comforting to-
gether in the corridor as TO their action
in the convention.
Chairman Foraker on viva voce
vote therefore declared the report on
the platform and as whole adopted.
In speeches made during the day
Messrs. Cannon, of Utah, Dubois, of
Idaho, Hartman, of Montana, and Cleve-
land of Nevada, and Fowler, of Wyo-
ming, were quoted as saying they would
follow Senator Teller in withdrawing
from the convention after the adoption
of the resolutions. In the conference,
it was understood that the other four
would do likewise, although Lennon,
of California, and Mott, of North Caro-
lima, are reluctant about saying what
they will do.

DOWN INTO THE SEA.
The Steamer DrummOnd Castle Sunk
With All On Board.
Two Hundred and Forty-Seven Per-
sons Were on Board the Vessel
and All Went Down-The Calam-
ity Was Due to a Collision With
an Unknown Vessel-The Fate of
tho Other Vessel Unknown.

Brest, France, June 1.-THE British
steamer Drummond Castle, Capt. n. w.
Pierce. from Cape Town for London,
collided at midnight with an unknown
steamer and sank three minutes later
with 144 passengers and 103 officers and
crew on board. Two men were picked
up floating on some wreckage by fisher
men off Ushant. near which point the
steamer went down. 1t is hoped, how
ever, that some of the passengers and
crew escaped in the boats.
The Drummond Castle belonged to
The famous Castle line OF steamships
running between South Africa and
London. She was of about 1850 tons
register and was last heard Of at La
Palmas, Canary Islands, on June u,
Friday last.
Tugs have been sent out from this
port to the scene of the disaster in the
hope of picking up some survivors. Inc
fate of the steamer with which the
Drummond Castle collided is not known
and hopes are expressed that she may
be afioat and that some OF the passen-
gers and crew of the Castle liner are on
board of her.
The sole survivor at Ushant OF the
Drummond Castle is a man named
Macuuart. Six bodies have already
been recovered there. One is that of an
officer of the lost steamship and another
is that of girl six years old.
Two additional survivors of the sunk
en- steamship are at the Isle de Molene.
The cause of the disaster is unknown,
but is believed to have been due to the
lights of the unknown steamer having
bsen misread or not discerned by the
officers of the watch On board the Cas-
tie liner.
When a dispatch from Ushant an
nounced that the vessel struck a rock
while hugging the French coast instead
Of being in collisions with another
steamer. it was conceded that there
could be few survivors,. Six bodies
have been washed ashore on the island
Of Ushant. The vessel sank and dis
appeared entirely in about three min
Mes after striking. Only two boats
were launched and one of these Is be
lieyed to have been capsized. The

were votes 10 be gained. From Prohi-
bition to Populsm and from A. P. A. to
womamsuffrage have,been shortsteps for
the grand old party Of high moral ideas
to take in political dickers. And now
We are told by the chairman of the plat
form committee, himself, that the best
thought of the party had TO sit up all
night to find out what the principles of
the 9. o. p. were and TO find words to
put them in.
The platform reads like a Foraker
stump speech, which, in effect, it is.
I, was little bit too raw to suit the
more intelligent and conservative Re-
publicans OF the committee, but it all
went" a few hard hearted sneers
were INDUCED in by the silver men over
the platform indictment" of the Cleve-
land administration. while it at the same
time contained Mr.. Cleveland's financial
views and policy whole. The inevita-
be tariff humbuggery and the reci-
procity fake were rehearsed and swal-
lowed as usual, but the intelligence of
the committee revolted at the endorse
ment of the clearly unconstitutional su-
gar bounty, but the intelligence of the
committee was oyerruled and the plank
adopted.
The remainder of the platform is the
usual meaningless mass Of words meant
TO catch the ears OF the ignorant.

WEST yrRGISIA AT CHICAGO

West Virginia will be represented at
the National Democratic Convention at
Chicago by men in whom the party can
repose its trust and faith and conf
dence.
The work of the conventions was done
well and without friction.
In the First district the delegates are
John A. Howard, William NJ. Kincaid
and w. z. R. Byrne, and the alternates
Joseph Gallaher, NJ. G. Sperry and Lee
Miller.
1t is a delegation representative Of
the First district, which Mr.. Howard
would have represented in Congress,
but for the senseless tidal wave, which
the country now is engaged in deeply
regretting, and which swept an army
Of incompetents into the legislative
halls Of the State and nation.
Hon. William NJ. Kincaid, delegate
at-large, is one Of the oldest and
staunchest Democrats in the district.
He is true to the backbone and always
has been. His selection is proof of the
wisdom OF the convention, which could
not have selected more representa-
tive Democrat.
Hon. W. E. R. Byrne is not so old
as Mr.. Kincaid, but quite as represent
alive of his section of the district and as
true a Democrat. II is delegation Of
which the First district may be proud.
OF the alternates, Hon. Joseph Gala
her. OF Mourdsville, lives in Repub-
lican neighborhood, but is none the
less a Democrat in capital letters. He
is a wheel-horse in the party organiza-
ton of the First district and is deserv-
ing of more of the good things of poll
tics than have come his way. Mr.. Gal
laher is a young man whom Dame
Democracy can tie to.
Hon. NJ. G. Sperry, slternate-at-large,
and Hon. Lee Miller, who were chosen
without opposition, completed the del
egation from the First district.

THE ROW AT ST. LOUIS.

AS predicted, the eastern gold men
carried the St. Louis platform yester-
lay. horse. foot and dragons, for the
single gold standard without straddle
Dr. equivocation. Bi-me,allism was
shut out in the cold and free silver coin

IN the convention formally took their

II Colorado, Dubois. Of Iowa, Cannon. Of
Utah. Lennon. Of California, White,
Of South Carolina. all the silver lead
ers solemuly and emphaucany resolved
to roll up their doll-rags and leave.
Their most earnest appeals could
not move the representatives
o: tae Lombard aud Wall
Street fraternity. TO which Mr..
Teller so po.ntcily alluded in his
address to the comcoittee. Nor could
Iir. Teller be moved in his turn by the
eloquence Of Lodge and other golden
throated orators. Never, in fact, was
an issue cleaner cut, nor a breach wider
than that at St. Louis. The appeal of
the silver men to the convention is
useless. The edict has gone forth, the
bosses have spoken. Gold is pro-
claimed king.

the nomination of Lincoln and had sup
ported him in the campaign. Natur-
ally. therefore, the step now proposed
was regarded by him in the most serious
light. and he sincerely hoped that the
step would not be taken.
Mr.. Teller, in the course Of his re-
marks. stated in emphatic terms that
if the gold standard plank proposed
was adopted, he would consider 1t in
cumbent upon him to sever his connec-
ton with the convention. If justice
was not done the subject which was OF
all questions the nearest to his heart,
he could not consistently continue his
relations with a body which was so
determined 20 antagOnize his convlc-
tons OF right and duty and. as he be-
lieved. stultify it's own record.
Senators Dubois. of Idaho, and Can
non. of Utah. Myers Mott, of North
Carolina. and Cleveland followed in
similar strain. also announcing their
intention to bolt the convention in case
the obnoxious gold standard plank was
adopted.
Mr.. Darlington. of Pennsylvania. re-
piled briefly 10 Senator Teller. chal-
longing the position of the Senator's
address referring to the dictation Of
Lombard street and saying this was
poor return for the money, amounting
TO MANY millions o. dollars which had
been invested in the West by the men
af the East in building railroads and in
other enterprises.
we have given you our money free
~" he said. and are surprised that you
should now want to pay us in money
worth only so cents on the dollar
Colorado" responded Mr.. Teller,
has always paid her debts and will con-
tinue to pay them. What we object to
is
PAYING 50 FOR 81 RECEIVED"
Hethen proceeded briefly to show that
silver had not deprecated but that it
was gold that had increased in value.
Senator Lodge spoke briefly but
largely in a way personal TO Senator
Teller. He spoke of the esteem in
which the Colorado Senator was held
and the respect felt for him. but said
that Notwithstanding this feeling, it
was impossible to follow his idea Of
financial policy. To do so would be
ruirOuS to the great commercial inter
ests OF the country. That the Colorado
Senator was honest in his convictions,
and jealous in their support, no man
could doubt. but that he was rihgt, did
not follow. He regretted that they had
come to the parting of the ways, but
the parting was not the seeking of the
gold standard men. and if it could not
DE prevented, it would have to be en-
dured.
Cannon. of Utah, said there was no
use O. the Republican party making
an effort in his State this year under
the milestone Of a single gold standard
platform. He was severe in his charges
on the money power and its dominance
over this convention. He described the
depressed condition Of the country. and
especially of his State, and gave notice

LIVINGSTON AFTER THE LION.
The Georgian Anxious 10 Give the
Tail Another Twist.

Washington, Jan. 9-For some reason,
not apparent on the surface. the House
committee on rules did not to-day report
the changes it proposed to make in the
code Of the Fifty-frst congress under
which the House has so far been operat-
ing. although their work is completed and
is in print. Mr.. Henderson. rep. OF Him
ois. gave notice that he would make the
report Tomorrow
Mr.. Blue. rep, OF Kansas. reported the
general pension appropriation bill for the
year ending June 80, 1897. and gave notice
that he would call IL up after the report
OF the committee on rules had been dis
posed of.
A concurrent resolution was offered for
immediate consideration by Mr.. Living
stOn, but Mr.. BOutelle objected. Follow
ing is the text: THAT the President OF thu
United States is hereby requested to forth
with ascertain whether Great Britain is
advancing her outposts on the territory In
dispute between her colony of British Gui-
ana and the republic of Venezuela, or Is
reinforcing posts heretofore established
with troops, police or ordnance, ana should
the President become cOgnizant OF the fact
that a British military or police force u
advancing to invade or reinforce, or since
the 18th day OF December last has inVad-
ed or reinforced posts formerly occupied
within said disputed territory, he shall de-
mand the immediate withdrawal OF said
soldiers and the reduction of the police
force in said territory TO a not greater
number than were occupying the BRUSH
outposts on the aforesaid nth day or De-
cember, 1885
The resolution went 20 the committee on
foreign affairs. AT 1925 o'clock, after a
session of only 25 minutes, the House ad-
journed until tomorrow.

CLEvELAND's COMMISSION.
The Members TO Meet Tomorrow.
Routine Work Ahead.

Tine Mef DeTs 10 &sst Tom 0FrOsT.
Routine Work Ahead.
Washington. Jan. 9.-The Venezuelan
commission will meet at the state depart
ment Saturday morning, when all the
members will be present according to
their intentions as signified to Justice
Brewer president of the body. In all
probability the commission will remain
in Washington several days, selecting a
permanent place of meeting, for which a
building distant from any government Of
fees will be secured, if possible.
The commission is also expected at its
next session to request the state depart
ment to furnish it with evidence, both
documentary and geographical, which will
require the commissions consideration
in ascertaining the true divisional line in
the disputed territory
The Venezuelan evidence still remains
in Caracas, and cannot reach here for at
least ten days after the state department
make a formal request for its presenta-
tion. 1t is exceedingly voluminous, in
Guiding every note in the long correspon-
dence between Venezuela and Great Bri-
tain and the United States on the sub
iect. as well as certified copies Of all the
old documents in the Dutch and Spanish
have shown to have connection with the
possessions and claims of those countries
in South America before the British col
onists appeared. Fac SMILES of numer-
GUS maps are included, as well as many
originals owned by Americans.
Considerable satisfaction is expressed
to-day with the announcement that an
the British papers in the case are being
prepared for presentation to parliament
in February next, thus securing the pre-
sentation of the case before the commits
sion in an official shape though through
a roundabout channel, for either Ambas-
sador Bayard win be enabled to send the
official blue book of the case to the de-
partment here, or Sir Julian Pauncefote
will furnish a copy to Secretary Olney.
1t is the opinion of those most directly
concerned in the commission that its la
bors will not be completed within three
months
The principal problem of immediate i'm
portance to the commission Is the selec-
ton of proper assistants. Several of the
members have been inundated with appli-
cations for clerical positions, many Of
these desiring employment being highly
