1.-THE LINCOLN REPUBLICANS"
Silver Republicans Will Adopt This Name al
Kansas City July a.
fBy the Associated Press.)

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, April 21.-Formal
announcement of the proposed change in
tho title of the Silver Republican party
wac made today in a document setting
forth tbe party platform, issued by Exc
o,tive Agent Corser. The announcement
states:
"Jincoln Republicans" are to succeed
"Free silver Republicans, and the Ma
tional Silver Republican party IS to give
way to the Lincoln Republican party. The
marty of one issue is to become the party
of several issues and the issue to when
if owes it's origin is to be pushed into
The background. While changing It's name
If becomes more Democratic than ever,
and. it's leaders hope, more able to rem
der effective service to 1.-The regenerated
Democracy than in 1896.
The transformation scene is to take
place at Kansas City, July 4th, when the
National Convention of both the Free
Silver Republican and the Democratic
parties are in session.
1t is alleged in the statement that the
Republicans of today are different in all
but name from the Republicans of Lin
coins time
e. S. Corser, who issued the manifesto,
has acted in the capacity of official ilf-
termedary between the National organi-
cation of the various anti Republican
parties and believes that the result of
preliminary work accomplished by the
Lincoln Republican League will lead to
the adoption at Kansas City by the Silver
Republicans of a platform, the plans
of which have already been formulated,
clarifying Lincolns memory, incidentally
excoriating President Mckinley and his
administration and predicting the nomi-
nation of Bryan and Towne by the Dem
ocratic. convention.
Lincoln Republican League workers
have been especially active in Illinois, In
diana, Ohio and Minnesota, the latter
State being the center of the movement.

WOULD AMEND FORAKER RESOLUTION
Making Franchises in Porto Rico Imperative
Till Approved by the President.

Washington. April 21.-The House Com
mittee on Insular Affairs voted today to
amend the Foraker resolution so as TO
make franchises and concessions inop-
crative until approved by the resident;
also placing rigorous restrictions on Guar
ters to private corporations.
The original resolution coming over
from the Senate simply carried out the
recent recommendations 0: the President,
extending the terms of officers now SerN-
ing in Porto Rico until their successor
are appointed. There was no division
or that, the main question being as to
whether this resolution would carry the
franchise restrictions.
The text of the amendments as adopt
ed is as follows:
Section g That all franchises. privi-
leges of concessions, mentioned in sec
ton 80 of said act be approved by the
President Of the United States ana no
such franchise, PRIVILEGES or concessions
shall be operative until 1t shall have
been approved
Section g. That all charters of private
corporations shall provide that the same
shall be subject to amendment, altera-
ton or repeal; shall forbid the issue OF
stock or bonds except in e&"aange for
actual cash or property at lar vaiua-
ton, equal in amount to the par value
of the stocks or bonds issued shall Tor :
bid the declaring of stock or bond div
idends and, in the case OF public service
corporations. shall proyile for the ar
fective regulation of thee harges thereof,
and for the purchase or taking by the
public authorities of their property at
a fair valuation. No corporation shail
be authorized to conduct the business OF
buying and selling real estate, OF lEsuing
currency. or of engaging in agrlr'ilsu"e.
or permitted to hold or own real estate,
except such as may be reasonably neecs-
sary to enable it to carry out the purpose
for which it is created. Banking cor
porations, however, may be authorized
to loan funds upon real estate security
and to purchase real estate when neces-
sary for the collection of loans, bue they
shall dispose of all real estate so obtain
ed within five years after receiving the
title. Corporations other than those or
ganized in Porto iRco and doing business
therein shall be bound by the provisions
OF this section so far as they are appli-
cable
After the meeting Mr.. Cooper said:
1.-THE restrictions on corporations is o.
signed to raise safeguard before II is
too late Instead of waiting for hcticlcns
capitalization and watered stock, we seek
to avaid the possibility of balloon enter
nriSes and to place restrictions which the
various State have put in their laws
1t is believed that the original resolu-
ton will be jeopardized in the Senate
| and may not pass before May 1st, the date
on which it is essential the act shall be-
come operative. But M. Cooper replied
that if this occurred the responsibility
| would be placed on the Senate.

| things will at least be credited with pos
sessing good judgment.
