"fsllen over each other to support this
resolution Then the senator from
Maine Hale) had sounded the signal
for the retreat.
And now" concluded Senator Allen.
"the senator from Ohio (Sherman)
moves to recommit. 1t looks as though
he Joined in the retreat and this will be
the last Of his resolution"
AS soon as Senator Allen closed, Sen
ator Sherman pressed his motion to re-
commit. There was no word Of opposi-
tion and the presiding officer, Senator
Bacon, put the question. Not more than
20 senator's were present. There was
chorus Of "ayes" and no ''noes," and
the motion prevailed. No request for a
roll call was made, and the senate i'm
mediately turned to other business. The
recommittal came so quickly that the
crowds did not realize what had been
done until the clerk began reading the
legislative appropria ton bill, which had
been taken up.
subsequently Senator Platt offered
another phase of the Cuban subject
by presenting the following concurrent
resolution, which was referred to the
committee on foreign relations:
Resolved, That the senate, the house
Of representatives concurring. hereby
expresses its earnest desire and hope
that Cuba may soon become free, IN

ment to secure this result

Thompson, Charles F. Hendry and L.
P. Hunt We're elected delegates-at-larg
to the St. Louis convention, and in
structed TO use all their influence to-
wards securing the nomination Of Nc
knley. The withdrawal of the name
of Cllshman X. Davis, authorized by
dispatch from the senator at Washing
ton, removed the only obstacle in the
way of a complete Mckinley victory.
The financial plank Of the platform
says:
Resolved, That We favor the use Of
both gold and silver to the extent to
which they can be maintained in circu
lation at a parity in purchasing and
dept-paying power: that We are earnest
iy opposed, under the present condi-
lions, TO the free and unlimited coinage
of silver, for the manifest reason that 1t
would destroy such parity and enor-
mously contract the volume of our cur
rency by forcing gold out of circula-
ton and place US on a silver basis"
Ii was 10 o'clock when the republican
convention was called to order by Chair
man Bixby. Senator Davis telegraphed
withdrawal caused unbounded excite
melt, but it cleared the atmosphere
wonderfully. The first clash was on
the temporary craftsmanship, the two
candidates being ex-Lieutenant Cover

Of Mrs Mary Davidson. charged with
having extortad $500 from Rev. g. O.

today. The attorney for the defense
moved for habeas corpus, on the
ground that Miss Matte Oyerman and
Mrs. Tunnel, necessary witnesses to
the defense, were absent, one in MeXl-
co and the other near the Mexican bof-
der. Counsel said he intended to prove
by these witnesses that conspiracy
was formed between Brown, Matte
Overman and Mrs. Tunnel to falsely
accuse and convict Mrs. Davidson Of
blackmail He added that the absent
witnesses were being supplied with
money by Brown to absent themselves
from the city. All these statements We're
supported by affidavits Of Mrs. David
