PLATFORM AFTEkTHOUGHTs
Supplementary Pi2nks Inserted by the
P0pulist Committee.

Supplementary PIanks Inserted BY the
Populist Committee.
ST. Louis July 24.-The full Populist
committee on resolutions went to work
at 10 O'Clock today ON the platform es
prepared by the subcommittee. There
were few absentees and the work went
along smoothely at the beginning OF the
session. The preamble. as proposed by
the subcommittee, was adopted with
but little discussion, and with few
changes, an of which were verbal The
financial plank led to more discussion,
but IT also went through with compar-
atively few changes. Mr.. Coxey made
an effort to secure an amendment look
ing TO the adoption of his non-interest
bearing bond proposition, but it was
voted DOWNS to IA. Mr. Coxey af-
forwards said he would carry his plank
into the conven ton, where he thought
it would be received with greater favor
This jury is packed said Mr. Coxey
and the chair is a greater autocrat
than Gar Reed ever dared to be- Think
OF a chairmanswho is supposed to be
impartial, making motions and voting
upon them, as General Weaver has
been doing during the proceedings of
this committee
The finencial plank was then ac-
ospted.
In addition to the planks agreed upon
last night the following were agreed to
today as general propositions:
"First-We demand the election of
president, vice president, and United
States senators by direct vote of the
people.
''Second-We tender to the patriotic
people Of Cuba our deepest sympathy
in their struggle for political freedom,
and Independence; and we believe the
time will come when the United States
the great republic of the world. should
recognize that Cuba is, and of right
ought TO be a free and independent
state.
''Third-We favor home rule in the
District of Columbia, and the early
admission of the territories as states.
'F'ourth-All public salaries should be
made to correspond to the price OF Ia
Dor and it's products.
"Fffth-In times of great industrial de
preston, idle labor should be employed
on public works as far as practicable.
'fSixth-The arbitrary course of the
courts in assuming to imprison citizens
should be prevented by proper iegiSla-
ton.
''Seventh-We favor just pensions for
every disabled Union soldier.
E;ghth-Bereving that TIE elective
- nciise and an uptr1rnrr lied haN.st
are esser II TO government OF, for
and by the people. We condemn the
wholesale system OF disfranchisement
in some OF the states as unre-
publican and un6emocratic, and we de-
clare II TO be the duty of the several
state legislatures to take such action
as viii secure full. free and fair ballot
and an honest count.
"Ninth-While the foregoing propo-
sttions constitute the platform upon
which our party stands. and for the
Of which its organization
will be maintained. we recognize that
the great and pressing issue of the
pending campaign, upon which the
present presidential election will turn,
Is the financial question: and upon this
great and specific issue between the
parties. we cordially invite the aid and
cooperation Of all organizations and |
citizens agreeing with US upon this vi |
Ial question"

nation, but that it is simply a manly
way Of expressing his diSapproval of
the course decided upon with reference
TO Mr. Sewau.
The Popuiist Supporters Of Mr.. Bryan
express great regret that the kilograms
were ever written and say that IL the
Popu1ist convention had been allowed
to proceed with its plan it would have
been an easy matter to arrange an I'M
Outstanding between the vice presiden-
tial candidates.
There is talk Of an effort TO secure
Mr.. Watsons declination of the nomi-
nation.
About the hotels tonight there is a
general impression prevailing that the
declination of Bryan will probably
make Norton Of Chicago a very likely
nominee for president.
The leaders-thoSe who have been in
attendance upon the silver conven ton
are hopeful that some adjustment can
vet be made. There is talk, that Sewali
if he realizes the situation, may with
draw from the Democratic ticket. and
it is claimed that he must withdraw
before any nomination can be made to-
morrow, but this is only a shadowy
hope.
The middle of the road men, flushed
with victory and now having better
orga IMITATION than they had a day or
two ago, will make a strong fight for a

challenged the vote, claiming that he
wanted his vote recorded for Watson.
Mr.. Paterson denounced him as an in

Kansas gave SewaIl SO of her 90 votes.
Louisiana gave the bulk Of her Yates to
Watson. Maryland divided her vote
as if Watson might be nominated on the
first ballot until North Carolina cast
her 50 votes for Skinner, Tennessee her
~ for Mimms and Texas her 103 for
Burkett. This split up the large dele
cations. After the RON call was COM
pleted, however, Texas changed her
vote to Watson and there were other
changes in favor of the Georgian. Col
onel Burkett of Mississippi went to the
stage and withdrew his name
Then Mimms withdrew in Watson's
favor. The Georgian already had votes
enough TO nominate, but the vote of
Tennessee was finally transferred to his
column. Some one made a motion TO
make the nomination unanimous and it
was carried with a whoop.

SPEED OF INSECTS.
Naturalists Say They Can Fly as Fast
 BIrdss

B1rOSs
 It is popular belief that the flight of birds is much swifter than that of in- sects; but number of naturalists who have been making a study of the matter think that such is not the case.
 A common house fly, for example, is not very rapid in it's flight, but it's wings make 800 beats a second, and send it through the air 25 feet, under ordinary circumstances, in that space of time When the insect is alarmed, however, it has been found that it can increase it's rate of speed to over 100 feet per second. If it could continue such rapid flight for a mile in a straight line it would cover that distance in exactly 33 seconds.
 It is not an uncommon thing, when travelling by rail in the summer time, to see bee or wasp keeping up with the train, and trying to get in at one of the windows.
 A swallow is considered one of the swiftest of flying birds, and it was thought until recently that no insect could escape it. A naturalist tells of an exciting chase he saw between swal- low and dragon fly, which is among the swlftest of insects. The insect flew with incredible speed, and wheeled and lodged with such ease that the swallow. despite it's utmost efforts completely failed to Overtake and capture it.-Phila- delphia Record.
