PLATFORM ADOPTED.
There Was Solitary "No" on the Roll Call.


 Call.
 When the result of the vote adopting the platform was made apparent, Senator Teller sent up to the secretary's desk the protest signed by Senator Teller of Col orado, Senator Dubois of Idaho Senator Cannon of Utah, Representative Hart man of Montana and Representative Cleveland of Nevada. All were members of the committee on resolutions.
 Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota this morning added his name to the pro- test, although not a member of the com mittee.
 When Alaska was reached one of the delegates from that territory asked if, under the new rules as adopted yester- day Alaska was not entitled to four votes instead of two.
 The chair replied in the affirmative and Alaska then voted four ayes.
 The Distinct of Columbia being called, Col. Perry Carson, the gigantic colored delegate, who shares with Andrew Glea- son twhite) the representation of the na- tional capital, supplied one of the most humorous incidents of the day. Raising his towering form to it's full height he said, with his peculiar negro dialect: MT. Chairman, ayes, so and so; noes, so and so. I want to know what it all means" Being informed, he said: Then we have voted right"
 The result of the roll call was announc- ed-ayes, 8181A; nays, 1051.
 So the motion to lay Teler's substitute free silver plank on the table was carried.
 MT. Foraker was recognized to move the previous question on the passage of the resolutions. Senator Dubois of Ida ho, rising in the body of the hall, asked that a separate vote be taken on the financial plank. Cries of mo-"
 The previous question was then order ed, with only a few feeble noes MT. Du- bois dema nded roll call of states on the passage of the financial plank, and Colo rado and Montana seconded the call.
 The chairman said the question to be voted on was: Shall the financial plank be adopted as the sense of the conven- tion?" On this the roll of states was called.
 The roll call proceeded amid so much confusion that the chairman had to sus- pend until order had been restored. Meantime the two secretaries were pug zling over the result of the vote as an- nounced on the previous motion, which footed up apparently more delegates than there were in the convention.
 The result of the roll call on the ques- tion of the adoption of the financial plank was announced-ayes, 8121a; nays, 1101a. "And the financial plank is adopted,' added the chairman amid cheers.
 The rest of the platform was adopted with ringing chorus of ayes, there being but one solitary no.

tor from Utah, advanced to the plat form and, with Senator Teller sitting by his side, read in ringing tones and with many gestures a protest against the financial plank.
 When MT. Cannon had nearly finished the reading of the document cries of time and counter cries of No, let him finish" were raised.
 The chair again appealed for respect full attention to the protest, which he said was nearly finished.
 At his closing words, declaring that the republican party, once the redeemer of the country, was now about to become its oppressor, a storm of hisses and groans was raised from all parts of the hall, and cries of down were raised.
 The chair, with his resonant voice ris- ing above the tumult, said: 'eThe chair publican party, in convention assembled, need not fear any declaration" Here an outburst of cheers, which lasted several seconds, interrupted the chairman. When they had subsided, he continued: "And the chair further suggests in the interest of the republican party that whatever is to be said within reasonable limits by those who can no longer re- main in our organization ought to be listened to with respectful attention, be- lieving that full answer to all such dec larations will be made by the great ma jority of the American people at the poils next November"
 The names of the signers to the protest as read by the secretary were greeted with misses, and voice in the rear called out, Goodbye, my lover, goodbye, as Senator Teller and his associates filed out of the hall, marching down the main aisle The whole convention rose and yelled and waved flags, hats and fans, while the band played patriotic airs, the assemblage singing the chorus, Three Cheers for the Red, White and Blue to the accompaniment of the band, and shouting till they were hoarse.

THE CONVENTION.

St. Louis, Mo, June 1S-At 10:S0 o'clock all the delegates were in the hall, most of them in the seats assigned to their re- spective states, but many still surging up and down the rather narrow aisles, chatting pleasantly with each other. or consulting about possible combinations. As to the galleries, they were closely packed, the fair sex being well repre-

A MONSTER PROPELLER
WILL BE SIXTEEN FEET "FROM
TIP TO TIP OF BLADE"
A Perfect Casting-For a Steamer
Soon to BE neutrality-suspicious.
80 Revolutions Minute.

The largest steel propeller ever
Pa, for the new iron steamship John
Englis, which will be launched the
latter part of this year, says the New
York Herald. This giant among pro-
pellers has four of the mightiest
blades that ever churned old ocean in
to foam and sent a ship speeding
through the waves. From tip to tip
of blade this propeller measures IS
feet, and its hub where it fits on the
shaft is 26 inches in diameter. The
thickness of the metal at the hub is
6 inches. The casting weighed $4,000
pounds.
A remarkable fact in connection
with this propeller is that it is just
about twice the size of the propeller
of the largest of all ships, the Great
Eastern, which had not only screw,
but paddle wheels as well, to aid in
forcing her in her unweildy way
across the ocean.
Some idea of,the strength and power
of this huge screw may be gathered
from the fact that the tensile strength
of the steel is $1,000 pounds, with an
elongation of % per cent and reduc-
ton of 33 per cent. When the casting
was taken from the mold there was
not a single check or flaw to be found
in it, and the edges tapered as smooth
and as even as gray iron.
The wheel was nodded from the pat
tern of one blade and quarter sec
ion of the hub, and ten days and
nights of constant care and watchful-
ness were required to complete the
molding. The propeller is made OF
what is known as open hearth steel,
and is, for that reason, and aside from
its size, a novelty
When placed in position on the
steamship John Englis, and driven at
the full speed of the 1000 horsepower
triple expansion engines this propeller
will make ninety revolutions a min
ute. With this propeller it is claimed
that the John Englis can make the
run between New York and Portland,
Me-, which is to be her regular route,
in four hours less time than the
steamers now on that service. The
new steamer is 312 feet long, 46 feet
beam and her gross tonnage is 1000
tons. The propeller was made from
