LINCOLN, Neb., March 19.-In effect,
William J. Bryan announced tonight to
the Democratic party and to the nation at
large the platform which he considers
best for the Democratic party, and prac-
ticalIy upon which he desires to stand II
nominated at the Kansas City convention.
The platform which was adopted by the
Nebraska Democracy, with the greatest
enthusiasm, reaffirms the Chicago plat
form, declares for 16 to !, opposes a large
standing army, denounces the action of
the Republican party on the Puerto Rico
tariff BILL declares against trusts and
imperialism" and favors the choice of
United States senators by popular vote.
The platform is practically the creation
of Mr. Bryan. He did not write 1t, per
sonally, but he was consulted concerning
it. and before it was read TO the con-
vention he had approved of 1t through
out
The platform adopted by the Fopulist
convention was substantially the same as
that adopted by the Democrats. 1t differs
in form, but conflicts in no essential
point.
Both conventions today were enthusias-
tic for Bryan to the last degree, and ev-
cry mention Of his name was greeted
with cheers of delight and approval In
structions We're given to both delegations
to stand for Mr.. Bryan in the Kansas
City and Sioux Falls conventions.

HOW VICE IS SCREENED
BOSTON MINISTER MAKES SOME
BOLD ALLEGATIONS.

BOSTON, March 19-At public meet
Ing last night, in the First Church, held
under the auspices of the Watch and
Work society, the remarks of Rev Fred
erick V. Allen, one of the officers of a.
society, created a sensation Mr.. Allen
declared that large number of vicious
plays have been produced in Boston dur
ing the last few years and he advised
the people who patronize the theaters
to find out beforehand the character OF
such plays as they propose to attend, and
to govern themselves accordingly. After
referring to the charge that $S,0O0,000 is
annually paid in tribute by criminals to
municipal authorities in New York city,
Mr. Allen continued:
There is no question that vice Is pro,
tected here in Boston, too. There is d
considerable number of the police force

this society cannot obtain legal evil

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The house
today refused to concur in the senate
amendments to the Puerto Rican relief
bill.
The Democrats supported a motion to
concur, on the ground that 1t would avoid
further delay in extending relief to the
Inhabitants of the island, but the Re-
publcans stood firmly behind Chairman
Cannon III his demand that the house
should insist upon its original provision
TO appropriate not only the money col
lected on Puerto Rican goods up to Jan.
l, but all subsequent moneys collected or
about to be collected.
The remainder of the day was devoted

SPANISH WAR CLAIMS.
Provisions for Appointment of Com

PrOvisiOns for Appointment of Com
mission to Consider Them.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-TWO meas
ures Of national Importance and many of
slightly lesser interest were passed by the
senate today.
The legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill, carrying more than
$25, ,000000, was passed without debate.
The measure providing for the appoint
ment of a commission to adjudicate and
settle claims of the people OF the United
States growing out Of the war with Spain
was also passed without opposition.
For a brief time the Puerto Rican gov
ernment and tariff measure was under
consideration. Mr.. Foraker. in charge of
the bill, submitted some committee
amendments. A few Of them We're ag. d
to, but the important ones are still pend
ing.
A free trade amendment to the bill was
offered by Senator Beveridge.
AT 2 o'clock the senate took up a bill to
carry into effect the stlpulations of arti-
Gle Z of the treaty between the United
States and Spain. 1t provides FOR the ap-
pointment by the president of three COM
missioners TO receive, examine and all
judicate all claims of citizens of the Unit
ed States against Spain which The United
States agreed to adjHdIcate and settle.
Inc sum OF @0V,UJO annudllS IS dppTNpIl-
ated for the expenses of the commi. sion,
the life of the commission being fixed at
two years.
Mr. Davis in charge of the measure, eX-
planned that the claims would be Variel
in character, but would relate to a large
extent to the destruction uf property OF
American citizens in Cuba. Many ciaIms,
however, would relate to personal wrongs
suffered by American citizens Not1b!e
among such wrongs were those suffered
by Mrs. Ruiz, whose husband, a dentist,
of Philadelphia, was tortured and mur
dered in Cuba. The bill has been careful
ly drawn, Mr.. Davis said, because of the
lndeterminate nature of the claims, and
he believed the measure thoroughly pre-
tected the interests of the government.
Mr.. Davis expressed the belief that sub
stantially all of the claims had already
been filed with the state department, and
they aggregated about $40, 0,0G0 00).
An amendment proposed by Air. Hoar
was agreed to, extending the time for i'll
ing claims with the commission from six
months to one year after the organz1-
ton of the commission.
At the sugg asuon of Mr. Cock"ell tha
right of appeal afforded by the bill o
both the United States and the claimants
to the supreme court of The United States
was stricken out. The bill thus provi los
for but one appeal, viz, From the find
ings of the commission to the United
States court of appeals.
AS amended the measure was passed
without division.
