As he proceeded each plank was
greeted with applause. The Senator
accomanied his reading with emphatic
gestures, striding up and down the
platform, turning this way and that

was howl of approval as he clinched
his fist and fiercely arraigned the
course OF the Administration in Cuba.

were passed among the delegates and
the whole floor OF the vast structure
became n sea of flags. An instant
later the flags swept over the galleries
like mass of flame. Hundreds of
them were tossed upon the seats and
distributed.

was faint in comparison to what had

announced as the paramount issue"
Many of the delegates stood on their
chairs and waved flags and cheered

New York delegates raised n standard
bearing the inscription: Don't think

The demonstration lasted four and
one-half minutes.
There was an intense scorn in the
Senator's voice as he read the platform

applause. The Boer plank brought an
other cheer and the Senator received

of the adoption of the platform was
followed by stunning shout which
made the building ring from one end

the cries raised, and delegates all over
the hall were on their seats except the
live rows of Tammany men. EX-Sen-

shook it heartily. Then Mr.. Shea. of
Brooklyn, did the same, and others in
the row, but Mr.. Croker sat immobile
and Hill passed him without saluta-

platform and as he appeared at the
front OF the chairman's desk attired in
a conventional black braodcloth coat
and trousers and his usual white tie
racing the great audience. he looked
the statesman and the orator that he
Is. He was accorded an enthusiastic
reception.
His speech was a brilliant and elo-

added: He is right by his noble and
discerning nature, and he soon will be

from their seats. and amid the waving
of hundreds of flags, cheered for al
most Il minute.
Senator Daniel spoke as follows:

Washington, March 27.-The argument
in the case of Senator Clark Of Montana
which was to have been heard by the
senate committee on privileges and cleo
tons tomorrow has been postponed until
Tuesday of next week on account Of the
enforced absence of some of the members
of the committee. ea "a

have been distributed among members Of
the committee.
The brief of the mernorialists covers
all of the 142 pages n is signed by exz
Senator Edmunds. Mr.. Arthur A. Birney
and ex-COngreSsman Hartman.
The brief of the defense, signed by Hon.
Chas. j. Faulkner and Mr.. Roger Foster
covers 232 pages and is divided into a dis
cuSsion of the facts and the law in the
case from Senator Clark's standpoint.
The document is throughout an arraign-
ment of the prosecution. 1t begins with
the assertion that IAN examination Of
this testimony will confirm the most
skeptical in the belief. that those who
seek to brand a majority of the represen-
tatives of a sovereign senate as 'dishon-
est and as bride takers are Influenced by

nor Is 1t entered upon from a desire to
maintain the integrity of the members of

sentiments of the bitterest personal and
political hOstilities.
