Rscsnt Tour WIN He Presented 90
thu National Museum.

Washington, June 27.-During his
recent sojourn in south Africa Web
ster Davis, catching the contagion Of
curio hunting which has spread over
the dark continent in the closing days
Of this century, picked up q number
Of interesting articles. Conspicuous
among them Is the skin OF one of the
largest lions ever killed In that coun-
try and which was obtained by mis-
sionary from the Kafiirs who had
trapped and killed the king Of beasts.
Being reduced to poverty by the exist
ing conditions in the region where he
lived, the missionary WINS compelled to
sacrifice the much priced trophy for
tempting offer of British gold. This
skin has been mounted, and, with
other interesting relics Of his journey,
will shortly be deposited In the ma
tional museum in cases and will be
set apart for the Davis collection.
Rifles, swords, cavalry saddles and
other accouterments picked up on the
battlefields OF south Africa are in
cluded in this interesting exhibit
which will be displayed for the infor-
nation and instruction Of visitors to
Uncle Sans museum ut Washington.

As Illustrating the magnanimity Of

him five dollars for running over q

PLAN OF PRoHIBITIoNISTS.
Reported That They WIN Pledge Demo-
Gratis . Million Votes to Put Prohibition
Plank In Their Platform.

Chicago, June 27.-The Record to-
day says: It developed yesterday
that the prohibitionists of the United
States expect to go before the demo-
cratic national convention at Kansas
City, July 4, with list OF 100000
voters pledged to support William j.
Bryan II the democratic party will
adopt prohibition plank in its plat
form. Tn. advocates of this move
ment do not expect the democrats to
favor such a plank, but they believe
and insist that II will he the entering
wedge which will finally split one or
the other of the two great parties and
build upon the ruins Of the founda-
ton q new party.
Many Of the delegates upon hear
ing of the action to be taken Mt Kan
sas City wanted TO know yesterday
why the matter was not taken up
with the republican convention ut
Philadelphia. Inquiry, however,
showed that the list of pledgers was
not complete ut that time.

INSURGENTS TAKING OATH.
Nine Leading Fiiipinos swear Allegiance
TO tho Government and Renouncc the
Revolution In the Philippines.

Manila, June 2s.-Nine OF the in
surgent leaders, including Gen. Pho
Del Pillar, Conception, Garcia and Al.
varez, were released here yesterday
upon the oath of allegiance to the
government and renouncing all forms
Of revolution in the Philippines, to-
gether with making formal acknowl.
edgment of American sovereignty.
This oath is much stronger and more
binding than the oath which Gen.
Otis administered and was conse'
quently distasteful to the Filipinos
who accepted II with bad grace, fully
realizing the results of any violation.
Senior Buencamino took the oath
Monday. 1t Is hoped that the sparing
of the nine leaders will influence
their men to take advantage of the
amnesty. which has thus far been
without results other than those OF
Yesterday.

SHARKEY KNOCKED OUT.
Gus Rubin, the Ohio PugiiIst, Defeats tho
tailor After 10 Rounds OF q Des-
pernte Battle.

Coney Island, n. Y, June 27.-For
the first time in his pugilistic career
Tom Sharkey went down to decisive
defeat last night in the historic arena
Of the Seaside Athletic club and big
Gus Rubin, the Ohio pugilist, was his
conqueror. 1t was clean knockout
after IS rounds of fighting that made
memorable ring battle. Save in
the matter Of aggressiveness, Rubin
led from the face-off, in every feature
of the game, and ut all times had the
fight well in hand. Sharkey did not
give up his place in the line OF first
class heavyweights without desper-
ate struggle. No soldier ever gave
more desperate battle, no man sink
ing to Inconsistencies ever chung
more determincdly to his vitality.

GOLD DEMOCRATS.
Ex-secretary j. sterling Morton Announces
That They wiz Not support william
j Bryan for President.

Omaha, Ncb., June 2s.-A special to
the Bee from Lincoln, says: "If sill
yer is eliminated from the platform
this year will Mr.. Bryan receive the
support of those democrats who de-
clined in 1896 to accept the Chicago
PLATFORM" This question is answered
in the negative by ex-Secretary ].
Sterling Morton, who says that II
Bryan Is again the nominee Of the
democratic party they will use, with
slight variations, the words he ut
tered at Richmond, in 1s96-"we will
not come back" He asserts that II
the gold standard was vicious thing
in 1896 1t is equally deserving Of con-
demnation this year and that 1t would
be an act of infamy for Bryan to
compromise with those whom he
charged once with conspiracy.

Expressed-Bosr Forces May Surrender,
but viii Not 10 Conquered.

New York, June 27.-The Boer en-
voys who have been in this country
for the past two months, Tuesday
issued an address to the people Of
the United States. After expressing
regret ut their inability to accept
many OF the invitations extended to
them they expressed their thanks to
the American republic for the deep
sympathy they have shown for the
cause of the two struggling repub-
lies. Continuing. the address says:
The Beers may in the end be defeated
by overwhelming numbers and may ul-
timately he forced to surrender. owing
to difficulty OF securing ammunition and
provisions. but the conduct OF the pres
ent war rs well rs the history OF the
past $500 years justifies us In saying
that they will never be conquered.
The address concluded by saying
that the ENJOYS do not ask the direct
or forcible intervention Of the Unit
ed States, but n continuance Of pub
lie sympathy and support.

be done by China when the 10000. 5000

SIBERIAN IMM1oRA ALTON.
The Gates Into the Country Have
Been Wide Open, Dut VIII HOW
Ne Partly closed.

The emperor Of Russia recently or
dersd Mr.. Koulomsine, member OF the
government, 10 visit Siberia for the
purpose OF inquiring into the condition
Of the hundreds Of thousands Of Rus
sian peasants who within the past few
years have made new homes In that
country. The emperor's agent has TO-
Gently returned from his task and sub
mittsd report with recommendations
- to the future policy Of Russia In re-
spect to immigration. Az result OF
his report the government has adopted
law providing that no peasant will DO
permitted to emigrate to Siberia unless
he first supplies the local authorities
with proof that he has personally Wis
tied the place to which he wishes to re-
move or has Hxed upon such place and
ID acquainted with the conditions he
will meet there through information
supplied by an intermediary. The
peasant must procure this information
at his own cost. The purpose Of the
law 10 to prevent very poor persons
from going to Siberia and thus obviats
the great disappointment and suffer-
ing which have resulted from the re-
moval Of many thousands Of peasants
to new land without the slightest idea
whether they would like It or not.
Mr.. Koulomsine says that during the
past seven years IN average OF 100000
persons 4 year have emigrated to ST.
IBERIA. Enormous as this emigration
10, there Is no danger that any Of the
provinces Of Europe would become de-
populated II It were continued. for the
annual increase in the population Of
Russia proper Is about 100000 souls.
He thinks, however. that the new law
will diminish the number Of emigrants
by at least two-thirds; In other words.
that about 100000 instead Of 10000
persons will annually remove to ST.
IBERIA.
This reduction In the rate Of the col
oniEing movement will place II upon .
more solid and rational basis. A great
number Of the immigrants thus far
have been sorely disappointed upon
reaching their destination and have
finally appealed to the authorities to
send them back to their old homes.
Their life In the new region enriched
them in experience. but made them
very poor In all other respects.

ONLY TWO PLANES.
National Prohibition Party WIN Mako the
Campaign Solely for Temperance
and Woman Suffrage.

Chicago, June 2s.-The national
convention of the prohibition party
met yesterday in the First regiment
nrmory, Sixteenth street and Michi-
gan avenue. OF the 1904 delegates
who were entitled TO seats in the M
tional convention more than three
fourths were In attendance when
Chairman Oliver W. Stewart, of the
national executive committee, called
the convention to order. Samuel
Dickie, Of Michigan, was then elected
temporary chairman and the conven-
ton took n recess until 2:30 p. m.
The platform bears solely upon the
liquor traffic. It acknowledges Al
mighty God as the supreme source
Of all just government; declares that
the party stands for the principle Of
the prohibition Of the liquor traffic;
arraigns the democratic and republic
an parties for not attacking the
liquor power and declares the pur-
pose of the prohibition party to save
the nation more than n billion dol
lars every year now expended to sup
port the liquor traffic and to demor-
alize the people; reafiirms the declar-
alton of ex-Secretary Of the Treas
ury Window that the licensed liquor
traffic ought to be the overwhelm-
ing issue in American politics and
that "the destruction of this iniquity
stands next on the calendar Of the
worlds progress" and declares that
the prohibition party places this is
sue squarely to the American people.
President Mckinley is arraigned as n
wine drinker at public banquets and
rs wine-serving host ut the white
house; he is also charged with the
responsibility for the army canteen.
1t is also deplored that the admins
tration should admit its lack of
power to prohibit the American So
loon on subjugated territory.
After considerable discussion a
rising vote was called for and the
platform and additional resolutions
favoring woman suffrage were
adopted by practically unanimous
vote and amid tempest Of cheers.
