BRYAN DECLARES HIMSELF.
Platform Which He Thinks Best fo1
h Democratic Party.

Platform Which He Thinks Best for
the Democratic Party.
Lincoln, Neb., March q. - In effect
William J. Bryan announced last
night to the Democratic party and to
the nationa at large the platform
which he considers best for the Demo
cratic party, and practically upon
which he desires to stand if nominated
at the Kansas City convention.
The platform which was adopted 'by
the Nebraska Democracy with the
greatest enthusiasm reafirms the Chi
cago platform, declares for 16 to /, OPP
poses a large standing army, de-
ounce the action of the Republican
party on the Porto Rico tariff bill, de-
clares against trusts and "imperial-
ISM" and favors the choice of United
States senators by popular vote.
The platform is practically the crea.
ton of Maj Bryan. He did not write
it personally, but he was consulted
concerning it and before it was read to
the convention he had approved of it
throughout.
The platform adopted by the Popu-
list convention was substantially the
same as that adopted by the Demo
Gratis. 1t differs in form, but conflicts
in no essential point.
Both conventions yesterday were
enthusiastic for Bryan to the last de-
gree, and every mention of his name
was greeted with cheers of delight and
approval. Instructions were given to
both delegations to stand for Mr..
Bryan in the Kansas City and Sioux
Falls conventions.

vOr

Washington, March 2O.--Two measures
of national Importance and many Of slight
ly lesser interest were passed by the SEN
ate yesterday. The legislative. executive
and judicial appropriation bill, carrying
more thar $25, 900, 600 was passed without
debate. The measure providing for the
appointment 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 Porto Rican gov
I'M and tariff measure was under
consideration. Mr.. Foraker in charge of
the bill submitted some committee amend
ments. A few of them were agreed to, but
the important ones are still pending. A
free trade amendment to the bill was Of
fered by Senator Beveridge.
The House.
The house to-day refused to concur in
the senat amendments to the Porto
Rican relief bill. The Democrats sup
ported a motion to concur on the ground
that it would avoid further delay in ex-
tending relief to the inhabitants of the
island, but the Republicans stood firmly
behind Chairman Cannon in his demand
hat the house should insist upon it's orig
inal provisions to appropriate not only the
money collected on Porto Rican goods up
to IN. 1, but all subsequent moneys COL
lected or about to be collected.
h remainder Of the day was devoted
to District of Columbia business.
