Arti-war Plank Adopted.

The Pennsylvania Prohibition State
Convention held in Philadelphia last
week demanded that Mckinley prohibit
the sale Of Intoxicating liquors at can
teens and post exchanges; denounces
trusts, and calls upon the President &c
take immediate action to secure the
peaca able adjustment of the differences
between our government and the Fill
pinos, so that the loss of life and prop
erty and demorlization incident to the
present conflict shall be speedily
ended. "
The Filipino plank provoked long
and warm debate. Some delegates con-
strued it as an attack on the President
and contended that if it were adopted
a false impression might go abroad
that the Prohibitionists were dislOyal to
the government at time when every
one should stand by the administration
The plank was adopted, however, with
only a few dissen ting votes.

deed, it is difficult to find a Democrat
familiar with the situation who be-
lieves that Bryan has much chance for

against this talk as hersey, but if it is
true that there is scarcely chance to
to win with Byran, l am sure it is not
heresy on the part Of Democrats to
look around to see if there is not some
other man upon whom all democratic
elements might unite, and, on the Obi
cago platform, elect him. "

Otis Makes Statement in Reply tt
the Correspondents.

S%@S
The following statement has been
issued by the War Department
"Gen. Otis, in despatch under date
July 20, says that the press correspond
ents demanded permission to cable that
official reports sent misrepresented con-
ditions. This was denied They then
demanded privilege to send without re
servation facts found by them and
their opinion. This was granted If
public interests were not imperiled.
1.-THE answer was not satisfactory and
they therefore sent by mail to Hong
kong. Gen. Otis says he is not con-
scious of sending misrepresentation.
but thinks that his dispatches at times
have been too conservative.
1.-The press affair appeared to be a
threat. When the correspondents were
asked to be informed wherein Gen Otis
dispatches were misleading they offered
nothing tangible except that his conclus-
ions were unwarranted. When told that
they were disregarding military au-
thority IL was apparent that they court
ed martyrdom which it was unwise to
give them.
"In later despatch Gen. Otis says
that the charges made by the press CORE
spondents are untrue.
