before the vote on platform preamble was taken, MT. Swartout of Stamford rose to ask as to how the delegation from that town would be permitted to vote. He said that the delegates had agreed among themselves that which ever delegation was seated, the mem bers of each delegation would each have one-half a vote. MT. Swartout said that the committee on credentials had been informed of this and had agreed to allow the delegation so to vote. Chairman Kennedy, however, finding nothing to this effect in the committee report ruled that only the members of the delegations seated by the state cen tral committee should have a right to vote.

 ''The American sailor and soldier have done their full duty, but the ad- ministration of President Mckinley has been utterly incompetent to discharge the obligations which the management of the war imposed. Incompetency and venality in places of high trust have brought disgrace upon the administra- tion and aroused the ire of an indignant people.

Two Preambles Reported.

As soon as the report of the com mittee on resolutions had been read, the uproar began. The report of the com mittee was unanimous except as to the preamble to the platform. A majority of the committee, nineteen members, reported in favor of a preamble declar- ing for biemtallism, and tying to neither gold nor silver, while the minority re- ported in favor of a preamble endorsing the platform of the Chicago convention of 1896. This minority report was sign ed by Alexander Troup, J. B. Garfield, J. B. Dunlop, w. J. Coughlin and Will liam I Naarv

Spaniard's Alleged Desire to Fight
Senator Mason With Swords.
Washington, March Ex-senator Ma
son yesterday received the challenge
sent him by the editor of the Spanish
illustrated paper, Ell Carlo. The docu-
ment is printed and is signed by the
editor, the Marquis De Alta Villa. The
challenge Is to be a combat at swords
point, and is preceded by short col
umn of personal abuse, in which Mr..
Mason Is described as IAN ignoble
Yankee senator who scolds like a wo-
man and who has not the valor to
fight like man, and who would take
q slap in the face without resenting it,"
The American people are referred to as
a people who deal in pigs, and whose
flag is the almighty dollar"
The senator treats the challenge In a
jocose spirit. He says he will have to
see the marquis before he decides
whether he will accept, but that 1t
scarcely accGds with Spanish modesty
for the challenging party to name the
weapons, as is done in this instance.

The Fern Relief Expedition Returns
to Key West From Cuba. y
70 RETURN AGAIN NEXT FRIDAY,

.'Gladness of tho wretched Cubahs
stifed by oyerpowering Dread, -
Said an Ofricer OF the Fern-No Mines
Yet Placed at Key West.
Key West, Fla, March 15.-The Uni
ted States dispatch boat Fern arrived
here yesterday afternoon from Matan-
zas. The Ferns trip was uneventful.
She reached Matanzas on Saturday,
and at once began discharging provis-
ions into lighters. On shore few per-
sons had gathered but there was nc
demonstration of any kind. The share
of provisions for Matanzas was got
rid Of in business like way, and the
Fern then sailed for Sagua La Grande
where the same program was gone
through on Sunday, the operation of
landing the stores occupying about six
hours.
United States Consul Barker board
ed the Fern upon her arrival at Sagua,
He was overjoyed to see an American
ship once more, even though 1t was
only the little Fern. The consul said
there We're about $4,000 starving recon
the Fern said to the correspondent to-
day:
1T seemed as If the gladness of the
wretched Cubans at our arrival was
stifled by the overpowering dread that
hangs above the people of Cuba, and
that could not be dispelled even with
the coming of food, for which they
longed Naturally we saw little. Ours
was no exploring trip. But we saw
enough to convince us that the stories
emanating from Matanzas, and especi-
ally from Sagua La Grande, are not
exaggerated"
The Fern will probably go back with
more provisions about Friday. .-.
