A O u OPEN PLATFORM.

tartan Appropriations.

Boston, Mass, March 27.-Accom.
panied with enthusiasm that rocked
the great music hall, the state conven-
ton for the election OF delegates to the
republican national convention at St,
Louis was held here today. The dele
gates came with only one name in their
minds, as their choice for the presi-
dental nomination. 1t was that of
Hon. Thomas B. Reed of Maine. Con-
sequently any reference to the man or
his sentiments was the signal for
cheers and applause.
Chairman Lyman of the state CEN
trail committee called the convention
to order with a brief speech, and the
usual committees were appointed.
The platform calls for a tariff framed
on protective principles. and arranged
to give ample protection to American
wages and American industry, and to
restore the reciprocity policy of James
G. Blaine.
1t declares against the free coinage
of silver in no u~nmistakable language
and says the agitation is hurtful to
business and destructive of confidence.
1t opposes the unsound and danger.
GUS system Of state banks. 1t supports
the national banking system and be-
fieves that it should be SO amended az
to give 1t room for expansion and OPP
portunity to meet the demands Of the
growing business and population of the
country.
The civil service laws, which remove
the public service from the control of
favoritism. patronage and politics.
should be honestly and thoroughly en-
forced. and the classified service ex.
tended wherever it is possible.
immigration should be restricted,
and the republican party should pledge
itself to pass at once a law to exclude
at least the totally ignorant and illit,
crate.
The United States should adhere rig.
idly to the American principle of the
entire separation Of church and state,
and no appropriation Of public money
for sectarian schools, whether for the
Indians or others, should be permitted.
A vigorous foreign policy is demand
ed, and Cuba, in her struggle for indie,
pendence, is sympathized with.
Appropriate resolutions on the death
Of Governor Frederick L. Greenhalge
and Ex-Governor Robinson were
adopted.
The following were then unanimous,
ly chosen delegates to the national
convention: Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge of Nahant, w. T. Murray Crane
OF Dalton, Eben S. Draper of Hopedale.
and Curtis Guild. jr., of Boston. They
were chosen by reclamation.

Talk OF a New Time Card in the
Near Future.
BANCROFT THE MAN
Who Will Probably be the Genera
Manager OF the KeOrgnnizcL Ore
gon Short Linc-Oth.r
Matters.

There are rumors in the air of a new
time card. Some of the wise ones say
that No. 3 will be made the fast train
and will come through earlier in the
morning and that No. / will come ear
lier in the evening and do the local
work. Recent changes in the schedule
Of the Great Northern, whereby it has
materially lessened its schedule to the
Puget Sound country, have been the
prime cause for the rumors now in
circulation. One man who is generally
pretty well posted on such matters said
this morning hat he did not believe
there was any material change contem-
plated. He thought that it might be
necessary to make a change on the Ne
braska division so that 5 and 6 would
run through to Denver instead of stop
ping at Kearney. This is almost neces-
sary OIL col of the heavy and in.
creasing passenger traffic on that por-
ton of the road.

fardmaster Dan Jordan and wife
will go to Salt Lake next week to at

seers from all the surrounding states.
An arrangement has been made with
the Denver and Gulf officials by which
stock shipped over the Cheyenne and
Northern branch of their line will be
handled in the Union Pacific stock
yards at Cheyenne. Heavy shipments
of cattle from the south and west are
anticipated for the year.

THE MAN.

1t is generally understood that Mr..
w. H. Bancroft, superintendent of the
Union Pacific's mountain division. will
be general manager of the recognized
Short Line, says the Salt Lake Tribune.
This is taken to mean that the Union
Pacific interests will not be sacrificed
in the new arrangement. Considerable
speculation is rife as to the other per-
sonnet of Mr.. B%ancroft's staff when
the change is made. Naturally, moth
ing definite is known, but it is expected
that a general shifting Of officials will
follow.
Attention has been called to the i'm.
p%ortance of the Short Lines mileage,
centering as it will in Salt Lake. In
Guiding main lines and branches. the
new system embraces 1,479.6s miles.

OMAHA ON THE SHORT LINE.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Omaha last night says it is learned
there through a private letter from
Samuel Carr. the chairman of the I'm
ion Pacific reorganization committee
that the committee is making favor
able progress. 1t is almost certain that
the Short Lines new management will
take charge of the property August LIST.
and it is probable the reorganization
committee will have made such pro-
gress that the receiver will take charge
July LIST. The same dispatch says that
while it is true that the property will
leave the Union Pacific fold, il is equal
ly certain that the receiver will be ia
vorable to the Union Pacific, and thai
there will be but lite change in the af-
fairs of the Dad from the present state.
1t is still a question whether or not the
new receiver of the Short Line will

was then taken up.
Mr.. Hill created something Of a SEN
saUion. He moved to strike out the
provision that the legislative assembly
of New Mexico shall meet in May.
This is a small. mean, contemplate
political trick" said Mr.. Hill with
great vigor. 1T is a provision sneaked
into this appropriation bill to force the
approval of the president"
The senator went on to explain that
the present legislature, which was
democratic, would meet in December.
But it was attempted by this amend
ment to put off the meeting Of the leg
islature until May. in the hope that a
republican president might be inaugur,
ated in the meantime. 1t was a con,
temptible trick to sneak in" a politi-
cal advantage.
What right have you to say sneak
ed?'" interrupted Mr.. Elkins (republi-
can. West Virginia.. What authority
have you for such a statement"
"Ahr responded Mr.. Hill, with unc,
ton. Il thought l would stir up the
senator from New Mexico. I see be,
side him the author OF this plan, who,

ear in support of it.
What l mean by ''sneaked in" pro-
ceeded Mr.. Hill, is that it is unworthy
that this political trick should be tried
in connection with a great a]ppropria,

ton of 'sneaking in What does he
mean by that" =,

has no place here. 1t has crept in,

this is a political amendment?
Mr.. Elkins responded that the house
of representatives, in the exercise Of its
rights. had introduced this proposed
change.

Mr.. Cullom Republican, Illinois,, in
Cargo of the bill, explained that the
amendment came from the house in the

the knowledge, that so many forms of

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
Fmfr's Will Knocked Out.

SAN Francisco, February 3.-The
suit over the will of tho late james G..
Fair was practically decided this
morning. Superior Judge Slack de-
clared the trust clause of Fairs will
invalid, insofar as it relates to real
estate. All there is for the heirs to
fight over is the personal property OF
the estate.
The order to day was made on an
action brought by Charles L. Fair
against the trustees under the will to
quiet title to the Lick House part of
the property of the Fair estate. Three
of the trustees, james S. Angus, Louis
G. Brccse and Thomas Crothers. dis
claimed in their answer any interest
as individuals, but pleaded that they
were trustees for the heirs named in the
will, and their only claim was as such
trustees while the probate of the will
was pending. On this answer the
plaintiff moved for judgment on the
pleadmgs. on the general grounds that
they did not state facts sufficient to
constitute defense, and the court
granted the motion; but w. S. Good
fellow, the fourth trustee, filed sep
aratc answer, in which he denied that
Charles Fair or his sisters are owners
of property or lave any right or title
to it. He alleges that the trustees
are owners of the property in trust
for the uses mentioned in the will.
The question now at issue, and all
that Charles Fair, Virginia Fair and
Mrs. Herman OclrIchs have to prove
is that their father WAS the owner OF
the READ estate and that it descended
to them upon his death.
The court holds that the trust is in
valid; not because it unduly suspends
the power Of alienation but because
it is ii trust created in real property
that is to transfer or convey the re-
main Gr after the death of Fairs
SIlIN'!Sl'' iliSli u tilC LAW vi bllS
State docs not .'ermit to be created.
Fairs children therefore have Sc
cured Il decision that their fathers
will, III SD far as it deprives them of
the remainder of his real property is
absolutely void. The allegation of
Fairs children is that they are the
owners of the property in question
and they are compelled i'll order to
show this, that their father owned the
property, that he died without having
disposed of it, and that they are his
children. 1t is on the SINGLE point.
the denial of the children's allegation
that they are owners OF the property,
that Goodfellow's answer holds good.
These points decided, there seems lit.
tie to stand between Fairs children
and their enjoyment Of their fathers
millions.
