There are just two ways TO get
rid of the surplus that is so rapidly
pling up in the national treasury.
One is by repeating some OF the war
taxes. The other is by authorizing he
deepening OF the sacks Of the campaign
contributors that now have access 10
the treasury and by licensing few
more contributors and n few more cx-
ira large sacks. Mr.. Mckinley's great
heart beats warmly for the first plan.

plan.-N. y. World.

The war department is considerably
worried because news comes from Luz
ron that more troops are needed in
the Philippines. Gen. Young. COM
manding North Luzon. and Gen. Bell.
commanding southern I.uzon, are
making strong appeals for reinforce
menis. They declare that their
troops are exhausted by constant
fighting. the present force is made
quate TO garrison the towns and the
insurgents are cropping up all over
Luzon and fighting with great vigor
and effectiveness.
1t will be remembered that Gen.
Otis claimed AT the beginning Of the
trouble that he could subdue the i'm

fall he was given more than 10000.
and yet the situation is practically

Gen. Oils. on the eve Of his return
from the islands. admits that "a large
body OF troops must be kept in the is
lands indefinitely" Ii Luzon gives so
much trouble i. may be imagined that
it will take mighty army to subdue
the rest OF the Philippines.
The news OF the massacre of IL Fill

also comes as one of the unpleasant
things about the administration pol

There have been hints from the war
department for some time that it was

this report of a massacre comes from

Worked All Might.

Kansas City July 5.-The committee
on platform did not reconvene until IL
o'clock, and had an all night vigil. 1t
was decided to present its report to the
convention at p. m. The delay is due
TO a number OF verbal changes being
made In the draft of the report.
The most interesting incident OF to-
day's discussion occurred in a plank
offered by Ball, OF Texas, declaring
that all articles manufactured by trusts
should be placed on the tariff free list
Newlands, OF Nevada, opposed the dec
laration on the ground that It was
covered by the general plank" Ball
declared that Newlands' position was
undemocratic and asserted that New
lands was anything but democratic
Newlands replied that he never had
been anything but democratic until
President Cleveland had. by his con-
duct. driven him out OF the party. The
committee then decided to insert the
plank.

Ing Democratic Platform.
Kansas City. July 6.--when the sill
yer republican national convention was
called to order by Temporary Chair
man Teller this morning. the sub-com-
mittee appointed at a meeting of the
committee on resolutions last night to
draw up a platform was still far from
agreement. The insertion OF an anti
imperialist plank was strongly opposed
by the western members OF the sub
committee, many of whom are avowed
expansionists and favor Ignoring the
issue altogether. Ii was stated that the
platform would not be completed until
late this afternoon.
Teller was extremely hoarse and
yielded the chair to Frank Ransom. of
Nebraska. The report OF the committee
on credential was called for, which was
not ready to report and a recess was
then taken.
After a short recess the committee on
credentials reported and the report was
adopted.
The committee on permanent organ
lzation reported the selection of Judge
W. l.. Brown, OF Ohio, as permanent
chairman. In a speech. he said: The
money question will not be settled until
the national banks are driven out OF
power. one remedy he suggested for
trusts was the removal Of duties on
every article controlled by the trusts.
His demand for government ownership
OF the telegraph and railroad systems
of the country met the enthusiastic APP
proval OF the convention. He arraign-
ed the administration for its work in
the Philippines.
Joseph Waters, OF Kansas, was intro
duced. He aroused wild enthusiasm by
his fierce denunciation OF the republican
party.
Some one called upon the delegates
present who voted for Abraham Lin
coin to stand up. The convention yelled
with enthusiasm as nearly 200 white
headed men rose.
Major John Brown. colored, of Kan
sas, who saw service in Cuba, was ap-
plauded when he promised the Negro
vote to the silver republican party.
