TEXAS REPUBLICANS
Affirm Allegiance to the st. Louis
Platform

Platform
FORT WORTH, Texas, Aug. 18.-The
Republican state convention concluded
its labors late this evening. I. M. Green
was elected state chairman by acclama-
ton. The planks in the platform adopted
are:
That we reafflrm our allegiance to the
principles laid down by the st. Louis
platform In 1896, and we particularly an
nounce that we are unreservedly for
sound money. We heartily indorse the
action and course of President Mckinley
and the administrator. We congratulate
our brave soldiers and sailors for hav-
ing so nobly upheld the honor Of the
country. We favor the Immediate con-
struction Of the Nicaraguan canal, and
insist that 1t should be owned and con-
trolled by the United States. We favor
an increase in our army and navy, to
the extent that circumstances and condi-
tions require to establish and carry into
effect permanently the plans and policies
Of our administration with reference to
the annexation of Porto Rico and other
Spanish possessions, and to establish and
guarantee stable government in the ISL
and Of Cuba. We approve the annexa-
ton of the Hawaiian islands, as being
wise and tending to increase our COM
merce and trade, providing a safe, con-
venient and sufficient naval base and
coaling station. and adding much to the
wealth and resources Of our country
We insist that the annexation of the Ha-
waiian Islands Is within the spirit and
letter of the constitution, and is an evil
dence of the determination Of our admin
tstration to carry into effect the Monroe
doctrine.

1t Is argued that such an enterprising, en-

present opportunity of securing a footing
in those seas which will enable them to e~

ton Is expected to have weight in the final

There is suspicion here that the meet

Spain to accept Americas new colonizine

An evening paper expresses the belief
that Il is impossible that the Philippines
shall ever again form part of the Span
ish possessions, and the question of how
the derelict archipelago shall be ultimately
divided Is regarded as a serious diplomatic
problem. ..
The papers generally expect the Rus
slams attitude will prove an important fao-
tor In the situation. The German press has
raised the boyle OF intervention tall
America has already given Indications that
she would unhesftatingly resent interf~-
ence without waiting to count the cost.
Moreover, any such interference would
only hasten an Anglo-American ALLIANCES

ON THE WAY TO VICTORY
All Reform Forces Working Shoulder
to Shoulder

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 1S-(By Associ-
ated Press) The Democratic state conyen-
ton was called to order at 10 o'clock this
morning.
As soon as Governor Budd had called the
convention to order, j. ]. Dwyer of San
Francisco rose to a question of personal
privilege. He denounced the statemen;
that he would later in the course of the con-
vention. endeavor to rush through a minor
ity report In the interest of Sam Rainey OF
his followers, and denied that he would
even present such report. Dwyer said
he would acquiesce in Maguire's program
| and not ask to reopen the question of pri-
| maries unless such were the desire of Judge
| Mcguire. Dryers statement was cheered.
Fusion Ratified
The Committee on Fusion being ready to
report, w. II. Afford took the platform and
rehearsed the history of the plan of fusion.
He concluded by reading the report as fol-
lows:
To the Democratic State Convention: At
joint meeting Of the Conference Commit
tees of the Democratic, Peoples and Silver
Republican parties, appointed by the State
convention of their respective parties, with
a view Of effecting a union of silver and
other reform forces in the coming CAM
paign, hereby agree as follows:
First-That there should be union of
such parties and a united effort made to
secure economical government, the re-
of silver and gold at the present ratio Of
1G to 1 without waiting for the aid or con-
sent of any other nation, and the admins
tration of public affairs on the basis OF
honesty and equal rights to all, special
privileges to none"
Secondhand we recommend such union
to be founded on mutual concessions, as
follows:
The Silver Republican party to be con-
coded the nomination for one Justice of the
Supreme Court and the Clerk of the Su-
preme Court; the Peoples party to be con-
coded the nominations for Lieutenant
Governor, Controller. Superintendent of

EUROPEAN IDEAS
America Is Expected to Hold the
Philippines

Philippines
LONDON, Aug. 19.-The Vienna corre-
spondent of the Times says: The develop
ment of the Philippine question will be
watched here with keen interest. Circum-
stances appear to point to the retention Of
the islands by America. The fact that
Senator Davis, who Is public advocate Of
annexation, and Secretary of State Day, a
supporter of the Hawaiian policy, are ap-
pointed commissioners Is regarded as in
dicating that President Mckinley favors
their retention. 1t is Acknowledged that
President Mckinley has hitherto mani
Tested exceptional diplomatic tact in his
treatment, both Of the Spanish government
and of public opinion in the United States
He conducted the negotiations with such
foresight and consideration that the Mad
rid cabinet has been able gradually to ac-
custom the population to the inevitable
sacrifices imposed by the outcome of the
war. For this reason the mere fact that
absolute cesslon of the Philippines was not
expressly stated In the protocol by no
means should be regarded as excluding that
possibility, or at least some approximate
OF the growing demands Of the American
people. The prospect Of a partition Of
China is likely to confirm this tendency Of
the American people. The United States
are deeply interested from a commercial
and industrial standpoint in the future Of
East Asia. They have the most favorable

the president today, and later had a con-
ference with the encouragement. The
purpose Of their visit to Washington Is

ure proceedings, or what action will be
taken under the authority granted by

scented in any proceedings contemplating
settlement with the Central Pacific.
No definite answer could be given them
at this time as to what action would be
taken in the proceedings. The govern
ment. however. 1t Is said. would not
undertake to settle matters of difference
between the company and the sharehold-
ers. It's principal concern being to secure
the liquidation of its own lien upon the
