.ANTI-IMPERIALISTS
Congress Called to Order Tomorrow
 Two Opposing Factions

Indianapolis, Ind, August 13.-The con- gress of the Anti-Imperialism League will | be called to order Wednesday morning in | Tomlinson Hall by Senator Henderson of | Missouri and he will introduce Governor | George s. Boutwell, of Massachusetts, who | will preside over the meetings. Governor l Boutwell, will use all his influence to pre- | vent the nominati ton of a third ticket and | likewise the endorsement of Bryan and Stevenson. He believes strong resolutions denouncing imperialism should be adopted
 and then the meeting should adjourn. Carl Schurz and Bourke Cochran are ex- pected. It is said that Schurz will insist upon an endorsement of Bryan and that he will be aided in this by Henry Johnson, ex-
 Republican Congressman from the Rich
 mond or the Sixth Indiana District. E. c. Howland of New York says that the im-
 pression in the East is that the anti-imper- ialists will join in the movement for a third ticket. R. A. Widemann of New York says:
 '"rhere are many of us who are Repubh- cans and we cannot stomach Bryan. We find that both the old parties are in the hands of machines and in the end few will profit at the expense of the public. We are confronted with peculiar situation If
 Mckinley, who seems to be training his
 guns against free silver Is elected, he will
 declare that his imperialist policy has been
 endorsed. If Bryan who Is attacking the
 admnistra tion s policy is elected he will de- clare silver has been endorsed. Either would
 be contrary to our views"
 MT. Widemann says there is little doubt
 that there Is drift toward Bryan. He
 says he has been told by well informed men
 that if Mckinley carries Massachusetts by
 25, GOO he will be lucky; also says that many
 of his acquaintances are drifting that way.
 Those who favor a third ticket have sug
 gested the names of Thomas B. Reed,
 Richard O1Day FX-(yOVernOr Boutwell, Of
 Massachusetts and J. B. Henderson, the h.
 dianoa Anti-Imperialist founder, and about 500 members scattered throughout the
 State.

 ing the Same Thing
OUTLINE OF THE PLATFORM

Indianapolis, Ind, August 13.-Delegates to the National, third party, conven- tion are beginning to arrive. This party originated at the time of the meeting of the Gold Democratic committee in this city. At that time there was a committee of eleven here to confer with the Gold Committee and urge it to recommend the nomination of third ticket. Failing in this they issued a call for national con- vention to be held in this city August II and 15. Previous to this the anti-imper- ialists had issued a call for a convention to be held in this city August b and l6. The members of the National party hope to form an alliance with the ant-imperial- ists and they hope that the anti-imperial- ists will endorse the ticket they nominate. Today conference was held at headquar- ters and the following statement issued:
 "A mass convention is hereby called to meet at Indianapolis at 2 p. m, August If to nominate or cooperate in the nomi- nation of candidates for President and Vice President, upon a platform substan- tially as follows:
 "The Democratic party is conducting a direct attack upon the institutions of our country. It advocates dishonest money and threatens the integrity of the judiciary.
 'The Republican party is conducting an indirect attack upon the institutions At home it corrupts the public morals by sell ing public offices and special privileges to the highest contributors to party assets, abroad it wages a wicked war of conquest in violation of the principles of the Declar ation of Independence.
 No man serves well his country who joins in either of these attacks. Parties to either, or both, we pledge our honest efforts to the following ends:
 Il. Independence and protection to the inhabitants of Cuba, the Philippine Is- lands, Porto Rico and Hawaii.
 '2. A single gold standard and a sound banking system.
 3. The abolition of all special privileges. "4. A public service based on merit only. Tn pursuance to this call the mass con yention will assemble in the hall on the seventh floor of the Commercial Club building at 9 o'clock tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon.

The normal proportion in former wars
has been calculated TO be one man killed
TO 2Is wounded.
In this war of civilization our enc
mics are inflicting the normal losses of
so-called civilized warfare; we have more
thap reversed them. We do our work
with unheard~of cleanness The proper
tion of killed TO wounded is simply start
ling Statistics of this kind, if reported
in the days of SPANS domination in the
Philippines would have Mortified us. The

ed in the United States. Perhaps the
present state of things calls for record
like this but is it not a SOLDERING one :?
1t is fair TO assume that our troops are
doing the best they can with the job in
