Convention Hall, Chicago, June Il
The Prohibition party will make its
national campaign this year upon a
platform of a single issue, the liquor
traffic. all other issues being subordin-
ated to this one question.
The greater part of the platform is
taken up with a denunciation of the
Republican party and of President Nc
Kinley, who is accused of treason

Upon this platform it is probable
that either Rev. S. c. Swallow, the

the nominations for president and

of the foreign merchants in that region.

ENJOYS QUITTING
MAY MEAN WAR

Washington, June 27.-The Chinese
minister. WI Ting Fang. called this
morning on the secretary of state and
communicated to him the contents of
a dispatch which he had received from
the Tsung Ii Yamen at Pezin, dated
on the 18th inst. The dispatch stated
that the foreign ministers had before
this date asked permission for the le-
cation guards 10 enter the city. which
permissl On had been granted. that they
subsequently asked that these guards
be reinforced. which the Chinese gov
eminent was not disposed 10 permit
Tbs dispatch then goes on to state
that the consul general at Tien Tsin--
supposed to be the French consul gen
eral-had telegraphed the viceroy Of
Chilli that the foreign admiral had
demanded the surrender of the Taku
forts. and that the foreign ministers
were shortly to leave Pekin for Tien
Tsin with their guards.
This report greatly relieved the Off
Gals here, who took il as the first tan
gible evidence that the imperial Chi
nsse government had a full realization
of the enOrmity Of permitting the min
listers to come to personal harm and
were thus undertaking as TAR as lay
in their power TO observe the amnes-
ties or international exchange.
The keenest interest is shown by the
officials to learn the conditions under
which the ministers left Pekin.
Minister Wu's dispatch was ominous-
~ silent OF that point, and though the
minister himself maintains almost OBJ
stinately his confidence in the non-ex-
kstence of a state of war, it is gener-
ally admitted that it viii be difficult
10 accept his conclusion if il shall
transpire that the Pekin government
itself has sent the ministers away with
their passports, or what may come to

At the state department it is said
that if it shall be explained that the
imperial government did this. not with
a purpose of rupturing diplomatic rela-
tons but simply to insure the safety
Of the ministers which they were I'M
able to guarantee as long as they re-
NAMED in Pekin, then there is still
ground for an understanding
It IS, however, pointed out that in
such eases the self-confessed inability

A bitter fight took place in the COM
mittee on resolutions before the plat
form was finally agreed upon, the
members being. sharply divided over
the question of a single issue. on
broad platform. The advocates of
woman suffrage were particularly en-
phatic in demanding a suffrage plank,
but after session lasting several
hours the matter was compromised by
reporting separate resolution favor
ing the granting of the franchise to
women, and in this form, the report of
the committee on resolutions was
adopted by the convention after con-
siderable further debate.
AT the evening session Of the conven-
ton the platform was read by Secre-
tary Hopkins of the resolutions COM

as follows:

expressed that the personal safety of the
diplomatic representatives of foreign gov

conveyed that they may be held as host

accompanying them would be rather

1t is pointed out that in 1860 in circum
