A visit to Mr.. August Belmont's
famous Nursery farm at Babylon, l.. l.,
was day joyfully spent.
The day was beautifully clear and
fine, and about noon the sun shone al
most as strong as if it we're midsum-
mer. I was taken in hand by Mr.. Hy-
land, the trainer, and he was soon
plotting me through the farms many
points Of interest. 1t would take more
than day to go thoroughly over the
estate, for the Nursery farm has an
area OF several hundred acres.
Mr.. Hyland was happy and comfort
able in his new quarters and brimful of
turf lore. Interesting stories we're told
of the turf veterans who we're reared
here and who carried the famous ma
room and scarlet colors 80 often to vic.

fisher, Rsceland, Potomac, Fides, Prince
Royal and others graced the Nursery
farm in their day. Kentucky and
Count d'Orssy are buried in the rear Of
the old Belmont mansion, of which

A visit was first paid to the house,
which is being put in thorough repair
and is being covered in on the lake side
with glass. 1t is the intention of Mr..
Belmont to spend the winter there.

RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE.
All Teller'S Amendments to the
Financial Plank Voted Down.

ST. LOUIS, June 1.-THE Sub-Com-
mittee ON Resolutions again met at 8
o'clock this morning to complete it's la
bors before reporting to the full COM
mittee an hour later. A platform was
constructed the night before Senator
elect Foraker, Senator Lodge and Pat
terson remaining after the rough draft
was agreed to be put into proper shape.
The subcommittee promptly adopted
the platform, and decided to urge the
full committee to vote down any and
ell amendments that might be offered.
Shortly after 10 O'Clock the full COM
mittee met at the Lindell Hotel, and
went into executive session to consider
the proposed platform.
1t was 1920 when Chairman Foraker
called the FUN committee to order. The
platform was read by paragraphs. the
agreement being that each paragraph
should be voted upon separately. The
preamble was objected to, and the
phraseology was ordered to be changed
so that the wording of the paragraph
should be less obnoxious
Teller of Colorado then arose and
stated that he proposed a minority re-
port on the financial plank which he
would present when the subject was
reached. The remainder of the platform

The Chairman of the Committee ON
RESOLUTIONS was recognized and re-

at p. m.
Discussion was then commenced un-
der the previous question the majority
and minority reports, each side being al
lowed twenty minutes.

Cannot Stay With a Party Committed
to the Gold Standard.
The Convention Refuses to Reopen Any Of the
Contested Delegates Cases.
Adjournment Until To-Day to Hear the Report OF the
Committee ON Resolutions.

ST. LOUIS, June 1.-THE most strik-
ing incidents of the day were not IN
the convention, although the proceed
ings were a trifle more animated tnan
yesterday, but in the meeting OF the
Committee on Resolutions, when Senator
Teller declared that he would no longer
remain in the Republican ranks after
the party had been committed to the
single gold standard. The high per
sonal esteem that the members OF the
committee entertained for Mr.. Teller,
and the heartfelt regret he SO plainly
showed in being compelled to sever life
long ties, gave to the scene unusual in
terest To that extent it was dramatic,
but it was more pathetic than anything
else because it was evident that Mr..
Teller took this course as a matter Of
conscience and principle, and without
any other reason. This was fully un-
derstood and it was for this reason his
associates exhibited equal marks of
friendship and regret.
Notwithstanding that this was a fam
lily quarrel, and two factions were ar
rayed against each other, courtesies
We're equally extended.
Senator Frank Cannon of Utah, still
in the thirties-a Republican from boy
hood and deeply attached to the prin-
ciples of the party-exhibited almost
equal feeling at terminating his politi-
cal affiliations.
Notwithstanding the radical position
assumed by the silver men, it is notice
able that only four-Senators Teller,
Dubois and Cannon and Mr.. Cleveland
of Nevadar-announced that they would
leave the party. Two others of the COM
nlittee Represent taitive Hartman of
Montana and DR. Mott of North Caro-
lima. stated that they were still Repub-
lcans, and would stick to the partyA
When the convention adjourned ufftn
tomorrow, instead of taking recess
until 5 p m, as it was expected to do
in order to hear the report of the Com
mittee on Resolutions, which it was
stated would be ready by that hour,
rumors We're circulated in the conven-
tion hall that this course had been taken
because several States had threatene ed
to bolt because of the financial plank.
Investigation failed to disclose any
foundation for these rumors The vote
of 54J1a to 3591a by which the conven-
tion, at the bidding of the Credentials
Committee, refused to reopen any of
the contested cases settled by the Ma
tional Committee, clearly showed that
the Ohio leaders had the convention
we'll in hand, even in matters where
many of the delegates felt a strong per-
sonal interest.
The members of the Committee on
Resolutions expressed much indi ignation
tonight that in a garbled account of
the platform published this morning
they should have been represented as
declaring war against Spain by pledg-
ing the Republican nominee to armed
intervention in Cuba. They state that
the language employed in the platform
simply pledges the good offices of the
United States to bring about a peaceful
settlement.
