They Will Be Careful to Say Nothing
About Southern ~LynchinGs.

KANSAS CITY, June 30.-Meetings of two
national associations of negroes are to be
held in this city next week. One is the
National Association of Negro Democratic
Clubs. James a. Ross. of Buffalo, N. Y, is
chairman of the national executive COM
mittee. and says ii will support the plat
form adopted by the Democratic convention
and recommend that steps be taken to con-
solidate, as far as possible. all of the Afro
American Democratic associations in the
country. a literary bureau will also be es-
tablished. Mr.. Ross also said: THE asso-
citation will condemn the policy of the pres
ent administration in regard to Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippine islands: also the
present currency law as being the strong
est foundation of the money trust, and de-
nounce the administration for refusing to
award commissions to the negroes who
fought in the recent Spanish-American
war. The association will favor the gov
eminent ownership of public utilities"
The other organization is the National
Afro-American League, which will hold its
biennial session July 4. Aside from electing
officers the league will indorse the platform
of the Democratic national convention.
There is a contest on for president of the
league between Fred MCGEE, of Minnesota,
and George E. Taylor, of Iowa, the present
secretary.

PRESIDENT is EXPELLED
MIR. M'KINLEY 20 IN CHI
CAGO TRADES COUNCIL.
Violated the Rules by Becoming
Political Candidate-AIabama and
Kentucky Miners May Strike.

CHICAGO. June 9O.-By action of the
Building Trades Council in expelling the
Bricklayers' and Stone Masons' Union from
the council, President Mckinley was also
expelled from that body. AS there was
some embarrassment over the proposition
to have the President. a nonunion man, lay
the cornerstone of the new postoffice here
last fall. he was elected TO the union and
a working card mailed to him.
To-day there were those in favor of
granting special d~ispensation, as there was
no evidence that he had personally dis
obeyed the rules of the Building Trades
Council However, when some one men,
toned that Mckinley was a candidate for
a political office. such conduct being con-
trary to the rules of the council, it was de-
cided that the President will be consid-
cred no longer entitled to the broad pro-
lection OF the council and its sympathetic
strikes. He is still a member of the Stone
Masons' and Bricklayers' Union, however.

Republicans. where he remained for some
time in consultation with those who have
charge of the preliminary arrangements for
the free silver convention. In company
with them he inspected the arrangements
made at the Auditorium. He then con-
sented 10 talk regarding the situation,
which, he claimed, was full of promise for
him.
II really hin that l can bring greater
strength TO the ticket than any other
man who has been nominated up 10 the
present time" he said. "and, as such, 1
consider myself the logical candidate. 1t
must be remembered that back of me is
the full strength of the Populist and Sill
YER Republican parties, and while ii is true
that a considerable part of this will go
TO the Democratic ticket anyhow, / am
able to carry its full vote and this, / do
not think, at the present time. any other
man can do. The Silver Republicans will
ask that there be in the Democratic plat
form a specific declaration in favor of sill

ton of the Chicago platform will satisfy
US, but we would prefer the real thing.
and no beating about the bush"
Who is to present his name TO the Dem
ocratic convention as a candidate for Vice
President Mr.. Towne could not say. The
matter is to be settled, he said, at a con-
ference Of the Silver Republicans TO be
held Monday. and all arrangements regard
ing his candidacy will be settled at that
time. AS 10 whether his name would go
before the convention provided he was not
accepted at the conference to be held be-
tween the Democrats and Populists and
Silver Republicans prior TO the conven-
ton. Mr.. Towne would not say. but in
timated that his name would be placed in
nomination no matter whether the Dem
ocratic committee accepted him or not.

the committee said that it did want me.
The voice of a committee is not always
the voice of the convention and il will be
ample time for me to settle that matter

however. that my name will go before

THE PLATFORM.
Main Point at Issue Is the Free silver
Declaration


KANSAS CITY. June SO.-The question of
the character of the platform to be adopted
by the Democratic convention is receiving
more attention among the delegates and
other prominent Democrats who nave ar
rived in Kansas City than any other prob
lem which has yet presented itself. The
issue is over the point as to whether there
shall be a distinct declaration for the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 1s to 1.
There is no difference of opinion as to
whether the Chicago platform shall be re-
affirmed. The Eastern Democrats are
willing to concede so much, but they take
a firm position against singing out any
particular feature of the Chicago declara-
ton and directing especial attention TO it.
They admit to reaffirm the Chicago plat
form would be in effect a declaration for
silver. but they contend that if there is no
specific p"ronouncement for a ratio and no
mention of Tie word silver. many Eastern
ers can be won over who would otherwise
oppose the ticket. On the other hand. the
extreme silver men are holding out for a
positive statement on ratio.
The draft of the platform as so far made
goes no further than a brief reaffirmation
of the Chicago resolutions, and 1T is under
stood that the leaders who are here and
who are giving attention to the platform
have concluded that this will be sufficient
to meet all the demand of the occasion.
They agree, however, that the work so far
done is tentative. and admit freely that the
committee on resolutions, and especially
the convention itself, is liable 10 change
the present plan in many particulars. The
impression is growing that the convention
Will be a body of men quite determined to
shape its own course, and that it will not
accept any prepared programme unless it
be to the liking of the delegates.
The extreme silver men are counting very
confidently upon the aid of Mr.. Bryan, and
all the reports received from him to-day
indicate that he will not ~disappoint them,
but that he will take a position for a spe-
ciic declaration of the old ratio.

RUSSIA WISHES TO DICTATE.
Thinks She Must Have the Ruling
Voice i'm Settling the Trouble.

LONDON, July /, 3:55 a. 1.-THE total abb
sence of news from China leaves the situa-
ton. especially the fate of the ministers,
as obscure as ever, and the London news
agencies are e~ndeavoring to find light in
other European capitals. One states that
the Chinese legation at Berlin declares that
there is every reason to believe that the
powers are willing to accept the interview
ton of Ii Hung Chang and others.
A St. Petersburg correspondent quotes
the Novosti as stating that the Russian
official view is that Russia must play the
leading role in the suppression Of the re-
volt. that her interests are supreme in
northern China and that she must have the
ruling voice In the settlement with the
Peking government.
Reports from Rome are to the effect that
the warships Vesuvio and Stromboli have
sailed from Venice for china According to
one report the Vatican has received from
the Catholic missions in China telegrams
stating that the attacks Of the Boxers are
directed chiefly against the Protestant mis-
sionaries, who are known to rely on the
armed Intervention Of their governments.
A special dispatch from Rome says that
Signor Crispi has been interviewed on the
Chinese situation and that he has made the
following statement: China is neither
Africa nor India. Europe. which has never
been able TO impose Itself on the immense
Chinese empire, the Oldest civilization In
the world, may yet awake the dormant lion.
If China should arouse itself all the re-
sources of Europe would hardly suffice TO
conquer that race. The missionaries are
responsible for all that may happen"
Great Britain seems to have pretty well
settled down to the belief that the min
listers at Picking will not come 10 much
harm. The average observer agrees with
Lord ~Salisbury's idea that if they are SAT
at present, as there seems every reason 10
believe. it is not likely that they will be
harmed in the future. Having lived
throughout the first fury OF the anti-foreign
outbreaks their chances have certainly i'm
proved. However. there is no relaxation in
the official effort or popular desire to have
them safely camped within the lines of an
adequate force. Volumes appear on all sides
regarding the result OF the uprising. All
sorts and conditions of far Eastern ex-
perts express countless opinions, varying
from the definite scheme that the partition
Of China is hound to Immediately follow,
the present disturbance TO the equally
definite declaration that the partition OF
China is no. nearer than II was a wear ago

ALABAMA MINERS IDLE.
Ter Thousand Awaiting Agreement
on the Wage Sca1e.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June Spending
a settlement of the wage question 10. COO
Alabama coal miners will be idle. This
course was definitely decided upon by the
miners to-day after their failure to make
a new contract with the operators. The
miners will meet here again Tuesday to
further consider the wage scale.
The impression Is now that a strike will
be ordered If the operators refuse to grant
an advance. The operators say indica-
tions point to lower prices on iron and
coal for the balance OF the year. Should
a strike occur 1t would result in the clos
ing of all the furnaces In the district. In
addition TO the 1000 coal miners there
would be fully 5000 other laborers forced
into idleneSs.
