Many Of the native doctors, graduates OF

refuse to attend plague cases, or, when they
do attend them, will not touch the sufferers,

THOMAS c. PLATT.
Sketch of the Nominee of the Republican
Caucus.

Sketch of the Nominee of the Republican
Caucus.
NEW YORK CITY.-Thomas Collier Platt
was born in Owego, Tioga County, N. Y,
on July l5, 1888. he was prepared for tcol-
lege in his native town, and was entered as
student at Yale. When in his junior year,
his health failed, and he left college and en-
gagged In mercantile pursuits. He was soon
afterward appointed President of the Tioga
County Bank, at Owego. In 1859 Mr.. Platt
became Clerk of that County, and served for
three years. His business engagements in
cluded those Of Acting President OF the
Southern Central Railroad, ana President OF
the Tioga Manufacturing Company, at Grand
Rapids, Mich.
As member of the House OF Representa-
tiyes in the Forty-third and Forty.fourth
Congresses Mr.. Platt enlarged his knowledge
of National affairs He was elected United
States Senator in 1881, but only served from
March to July 16, when he resigned, in
company with Roscoe Conkling, because OF
Garfield refusal, through Baine's influence,
to allow them to control Federal appoint
ments in this State. Mr.. Cobkiing's regard
for Platt was shown in this telegram, which
was sent when the latter was chosen for the
Senate: "I congratulate the Republican party
and the State of New York on the choice Of
a Senator who never apologized for being a
stalwart Republican.
Mr.. Platt attested his loyalty to his chief
by resigning from the Senate with him. It
was not his fight, but Conkling's.
Since Mr.. Conkling's death Mr.. Platt has
built up new party organization. For a
numter of years he has been President OF the
United States Express Company with head
quarters In New York.

ALBANY, N. Y. SpeciaD.-Thomas Collier
Platt on Thursday night was made the Re-
publican candidate for the United States
Senate to succeed David B. Hill. He re-
:eived 142 votes on the first ballot at joint
caucus at which 149 Republicans we're pres
ant. Joseph H. Choate received seven votes.
After the result had been announced Sem
ator Brush. of Kings, who had presented
Mr.. Choate's name, moved to make Mr..
Platt's nomination unanimous. Senator
Pavey, Of New York, who had voted for MIR.
Choate, seconded the motion, and Mr.. Platt
became the unanimous choice of his party
Tor Senator.
The procedure by which Mr.. Platt's lieu
tenants made him their candidate was
unique. Mr. Platt was not formally placed
in nomination. His name was not spoken
In the caucus until Senator Bracket. who
came first on the roll call, spoke it when his
name was called on the first ballot. No sign
was made by anyone that could be construed
as formal indication that Mr.. Platt was In
the field.
MIR. Choate was duly nominated, and. his
nomination was seconded in speeches which
briefly touched on his ability and fitness for
the office. Mr.. Choate was the only candi-
date before the caucus, and the Platt men
simply ignored him. Not one ofthe Legis-
lators said word in eulogy of Mr.. Platt.
The men who proposed to vote for him sim
ply waited until all had been said tor Mr..
Choate that any one cared to say. and then,
by resolution, backed by an order for the
previous question, proceeded to ballot:
After that until the long roll had been
called, when each was asked to name his

York, who varied the monotony by respond
ing. ga voice from the Bowery-Thomas c.

The surprise OF the evening was the vote of

had been reckoned an Organization" man.
His closest associates had no hint that he in
tended to "kick over the Traces. He Is q
farmer, who has always acted with the "reg-
ulars."
There were two absentees-Senator Wray,
of Kings, and Assemblyman Mackey. of Del
aware County. Mr.. Mackey has been called
away by death In his family. Senator Wray
was on train from New York, which was
belated. He arrived just as the caIcus ended,
and said that if he had been present he would
have voted for Mr.. Platt.
Senator Ellsworth was prepared to nomi-
nate Mr.. Platt. and at least two seconding
speeches were expected. Mr.. Plntt sent
dispatch saying that he preferred that no
speeches be made, and his wishes were re-
spected.
Mr.. Choate's supporters were Senators
Brush. Of Brooklyn, Pavey. Of New York, and
Tibbitts, of Rensselaer,, and Assemblymen
Bates, of Tompkins, Lambisr, of New York,
Robbins, OF Allegany, and Sanger,ot Oneida.

oLNEY ON THE TREATY.
sssfore the ForeIsu Relations Committee.

Bsfore the FOREIGN Relations COMMITTEE.
in support o. Arbitration Agreement.
The Senate Committee oa Foreign Rs!a
tions, Washington, listened to Secretary
Olney for more than an hour. The Secretary,
who drew the general treaty Of arbitration be-
tween this Government and Great Britain,
made an elaborate argument in favor of the
ratification ofthe treaty as sent to the Senate.
Much Of the talk about the committee table
was Of an interlocutory character, and sever.
al Senators, notably Messrs. Morgan and
Davis, asked numerous questions Of the Sec
rNarv, jnten led to gather from him his idea
Of the scope OF treaty. The questions pro-
pounded indicated quite plainly an antag-
onism to the text Of the convention, and the
int ention Of Senators TO insist upon its
amendment before reporting the instrument
TO the Senate. No action Was taken, and ii
Is intimated that action cannot possibly be
had for some weeks to come.

Government had taken the place of the
monarchy. The most intense excitement
existed as to what course the President
would adopt. Mr.. Cleveland intrusted his

QUEEN ON ARBITRATION.
Refers With Qualification to the Treaty
With the United States.
BRITISH PARLIAMENT OPENED.

The Speech From the Throne Read In
Joint Session in the House of Lords---
Salisbury Lauds Arbitration---Treaty
DIminishes the Risks OF War---Brings
Nations Tosether.--Address Cheered.
LONDON, England (By Cable).-The third
session of. the Fourteenth Parliament was
opened Tuesday with the usual ceremonies,
including the formality Of searching the
vaults Of the Parliament buildings for pos
sble Guy Fawkes. United States Ambassador
Bayard and Secretary Carter were present in
the House of Lords. Senator Edward o.
wolcott;> of Colorado, was in the "distln-
guished strangers gallery" In the House OF
Commons.
That part OF the Queens speech devoted
to the arbitration treaties was as follows:
"My Government has discussed with the
United States, acting as a friend OF Vene-
zuela, the terms whereunder pending ques-
tions OF the disputed frontier between that
republic and my colony OF British Guiana
NAV pe euuitubly submitted to arbitration,
and m arran cement has been arrived at with
that Government which will, I trust, ef1ect
an adjustment Of existing controversies with
out exposing to risk the interests OF any OF
the colonists whose established rights are IN
the disputed territory.
sIt is with much qualification that have
concluded treaty for general arbitration
with the President OF the United States by
which trust that all differences that may
arise between US will be peacefully adjusted.
I hope that this arrangement icay have
further value IL commenting to other pow
ers the consideration OF the principle by
which the danger of war may be notably
abated."
The MARQUIS Of Salisbury said in response
in regard to the treaty OF arbitration just
concluded with the United States, that no
could not speak fully on the subject, because
the agreement had not yet been ratified:
He hoped, however. that something would
be done to diminish the risk OF war. He
would not say that the treaty would remove
the greatest risks of war or restrain Ma
poleon or Bismarck, but the policy with
the United States was full OF an indefinite
number Of small differences, which, some
times exaggerated, caused irritation
and enmity The tribunal OF arbitra-
ton would settle these differences.
Lord Salisbury pictured the nations
declared that the Government believed the
measure they had taken was valuable in that
it would lead to the gradual disappear
ance OF vast ornaments before the
growth of the tendency to substitute
judicial decisions for the coarse arbitrament
OF war. This would be something to look
back upon. In conclusion, Lord Salisbury
said: II hope that the effort, small as 1t IS,
will be 40 successful that others more extern
sive and more successful will be made" The
Prime Minister was heartily cheered when
he finished his speech.

FOR FREE HoMESTEADS.

The Senate Passes a Sweeping Bill Con-
cerning Public Lands.
The United States Senate passed the meas
ure known as the Free Homestead bill. 1t
Is O measure of far-reaching Importance,
particularly to the West, and the interest in
II was shown by the fact that plank con.
corning it was feature OF the Natlonal
platforms. The effect of the bill is to open
to settlement all public lands acquired from
Indians, free Of any payment to the Govern
ment beyond the minor offlce fees, aud to
release from payment those who heretofore
have settled on these lands. The number OF
acres involved, according to an estimate
made by the Commissioner Of the General
Land Office, is 39, ,252,54l. As the bill passed
in the House it covered only the lands ac-
quired from Indians in Oklahoma, but as
passed the bill includes all Indian lands.
The final vote was IS to IL.
