Unable TO Explain the Firin. OH the
Foreign Fleet.
BERLIN, June 19.-The German govern
ment continues to express its opinion with
the utmost caution regarding the sitau-
ton in China, and even now II contrlVes
to avoid the use of the word war, and eN-
presses the hope that the Pekin govern
ment has made no hostile action.
The Foreign Office emphasizes the TACT
that the Taku forts fired upon the inter-
national fleet in answer to request 10
land marines to protect foreigners IN lien
Tsin. II is unable to explain the acton OIL
the Chinese commander except upon the
assumption that he acted under general
orders from Pekin.
The Foreign Office has no confirmation
of the report published in the British
papers that the German sunpoat ltrls
was badly damaged and several OF her
crew killed.
A leading official, speaking for the For
e;gn Office, repeats the denial that the
movers are negotiating regarding course
of Joint action, and says that everything
has been left to the various commanders
who will simply perform police duties:
An official dispatch says that everything
IS ouiet at kiao Chou.

THE PLATFORM.
The Committee Busy Until Late
Hour.

The Committee Busy Until Late
PHILADELPHIA, June 1o-the Commit
tee on Resolutions is having difficulty in
agreeing upon a declaration of principles.
All the members practically agree on the
sentiments to be expressed along the en-
tire line of subjects to be covered, but the
difficulty is in finding common ground OF
expression.
The full committee placed the matter in
the hands of eleven of its members as
subcommittee. The subcommittee sat
from 6 O'clock until 3, and then adjourned
to meet at u O'Clock midnight.
At o'clock it was still in session with
a view of possible completion of its work
before adjourning.
The committee had before it the draft
of the platform prepared by Postmaster
Smith and Senator Foraker and Fairbank.
The opinion was expressed by several of
the members that it was of too great a
length and not sufficiently Catchy in
phraseology for popular consumption.
Mr.. Quigg was especially jealous in adj
vocating a change to meet this objection.
The committee therefore referred all the
resolutions to HIM with instructions to
put them in plain and simple language.
Mr.. Qugg spent a part of the evening
in this task, and when the subcommittee
convened at midnight presented his draft
to them.
CONVENTION HALL, PHILADEL-
PHIA, June 1s.-The Committee on Reso-
lutions organized Immediately after the
adjournment of the convention, and then
adjourned to meet at the Walton Hotel
at 5 o'clock. On motion of Senator For
aker, Senator Fairbanks, Of Indiana, was
chosen chairman of the committee, and
e. Rosewater, the Nebraska member, sec
rotary. In suggesting Mr.. Rosewater's
nomination. Senator Foraker stated that
the place should be given to him as com
pliment to his profession Of journalism.
The suggestion was received with general
approval.
The committee reconvened at 5 o'clock
when the following were appointed a sub
committee to draft and submit a platform
to the full committee:
Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana: Davis, of
Minnesota; Gallinger, of New Hampshire;
Foraker OF Ohio; Carter, OF Montana; and
AicCumber. OF North Dakota; and Messrs

iforna
Senator Penrose, OF Philadelphia. intro
duced a declaration for an executive de-
partment OF the Government, to ba known
as the Department of Commerce and III
dustry, but it was referred to the SUBJ
committee.
When the subcommittee convened,
deIega ton OF ladies from the suffrage as
ISOLATION was admitted to present argu-
ment for granting the elective franchise to
women. A protest against the suffrage

was headed by Representative White.
They asked for the consideration of a
plank denouncing mob violence In the
South. They presented resolution de-
nouncing the suppression of the negro vote
in Southern States. The matter was re-
ferred to Mr. Lynch of Mississippi, with
instructions to draft a plank covering the
Southern controversy.
This plank was urged by a delegation to
be drafted into the platform:
Having secured stability in our cur
rency. we now favor additional monetary
legislation to equalize the lower interest
rates by providing a flexible and sufi1-
cent medium of exchange for the benefit
of the borrower as well as the lender of
money!. in order that American commerce
may be enlarged and labor may be assured
Of steady and remunerative employment.
The delegation made an earnest plea,
but met opposition on the ground that it
was liable to be Interpreted as likely to
disturb the national currency.
The draft of the platform as prepared by
Mr.. Foraker, Fairbanks and others, was
read. It is the same platform as was out
lined in these dispatches Monday morn
ing, but several verbal changes We're
made. Complaint was made that it was
too long. and it was referred TO a sub
committee to shorten it if possible. As 1t

them by a Colorado delegation. It read as
follows:
The Republican party by tradition and
principle is in favor of bimetallisn. and
upon all proper and important occasions
will invite the co-cpera ton OF the United
States with the leading commercial ma
tons of the world to secure the free coin
age of both gold and silver at a fixed
ratio"
The question was not settled at the
early evening meeting. Pending its dis
cussion the committee adjourned to meet
again at midnight.
The recess until midnight was taken
for the purpose of permitting Lemuel E.
QuigG, the New York member Of the COM
mittee, to go through tho draft of the
platform and make the changes necessi-
tated by the action of the subcommittee.
When the recess was taken at 9 O'Clock
a positive policy had been decided upon
