THE crowd at this point broke
into demonstration, yelling and
waving flags and hats, and it was
some time before order was re-
stored, the speaker attempting
several times to 60 on, but was
forced to wait. He finally pro-
ceeded AS follows:)
Up until that point the war was
right, but when we passed be.
yond that point the administra-

our flag rose over the the flag OF
rotten Spanish monarchy, the
American republic could not re.
sist the temptation to follow in
the footsteps of Great Britain and
it thirsted for land and gold and
that is where the mistake was
made. We should have stopped
at the end of Spanish victory
when we brought liberty to the
people who were being ground to
death under the heel of Spanish
tyranny. We do love justice and
liberty. The masses of the
American people stand for the
blessed idea of liberty, justice
and equity Of rights and I dare
say today if it were possible to
get the newspapers to cable to
Boer farmers iR South Africa
that the representatives of six or
seven million voters send a word
Of sympathy to them, many a
Boer would shout for joy in the
hills of the Transvaal. Grander

made in all the worlds history
than the struggle being made by
the Republicans and Democrats
in South Africa. Let US sympa-
thize with them.

IposltlOn OF Assistant Secretary OF
the Interior in McKinley's cabi-
net, and who some time ago re.
signed this position on account of
the imperialistic policy of the ad-
ministration, declares himself a
democrat. After the reading of
the platform at Kansas City, Mr..
Davis made the following elo-
quent address:
"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen
of the Convention: l have never
yet read or heard a platform that

I love liberty, I love equity of
rights and l love justice and
when the party that l belong to

charge is made by the British
press and the British officials that
there is a secret alliance between
this country and Great Britain to
the effect that in case of any for

vene in behalf of poor Beers, that
this republic will stand by Great
, Britain with its army and navy.

HAMILTON STEWART
SCORES THE CLERK
Of THE MARKET
Thinks That Official is Not Car
rying Out the Proyi-
/! sions of the Law.
SEEN NO MARKET REPORTS
MT. Kane Made a Partial Explana-
tion of Where the Market Re-
ceipts Had Gone. Treasurer
Hamann to Turn Over Ger
tain Funds Thursday.

Hamilton Stewart created sensation
at the meeting of Council last evening
when he said he wished to call attention
to the lax way city official vas per-
forming his duties.
He had reference to the clerk of mar
ket, whom he alleged had made no re-
port Of any kind since he had ceased to
turn over his collections to the Street
and Sewer Department.
Mr.. Stewart declared that this was
contrary to law, that the clerk was re-
quired to keep duplicate receipts and q
book and enter an account of all arti-
cles seized and to make Il report to
Council once every three months.
He stated that it was now nine months
since the clerk had made report to the
Street and Sewer department. He said
he had failed to hear Of any report
Of any kind having been made to Coun-
Gil, as the law required.
AIr Stewart said he had visited the
office Of the Street and Sewer Depart
ment yesterday morning and learned
there that the clerk had made no re-
port there since January, 1900. lie de
clared that the clerk was required to
file afidayits, but to his knowledge had
filed none since January.
| He said there must have been some
highar authority which had ordered the
clerk not to report to the Street and
Sewer Department. He then said that
lie any member could tell him where he
could find any reports made by the clerl
Of the market he would gladly hear 1t.
klr. Kane said the collections wert
made but the money had been tied up b,
the city treasurer.
Mr. Stewart said the money had NO
been tied up by the treasurer.
Mr., Kane said if Mr.. Stewart waitet
for q week the treasurer would the mex
meeting make report and turn over tn
FUNDS, that he held up, being the marke
receipts, wharf rents and pole tax.
Mr.. Kane then asked if Mr.. Stewar
was satisfied.
: He said he was not as he did no
I. know whether the clerk of the marke
had collected five cents or So.
Mr.. Kane then told him that tn
finance committee had ordered the cler
Of the market not to report to the Stree
and Sewer Department, and that he wa
somewhat back in his report owing t
having had sore foot, but had made hi
usual aftidavits to the mayor and turne
oyer his collections.
: City Treasurer Hamann was at th
meeting and will next Thursday tur
over the funds over which there has bee
. so much dispute. The members of th
finance committee had expected to n
ceive his report last evening.
