who was a trifie slow in making his
appearance. Many of the delegates
had come prepared for the nomination
of Bryan. Dozens of them carried
small flags and numerous plumes of

Platform Read by Senator Tilman.
The portly form Of Senator Jones,
Gilver-haired and serious. advanced to
the front of the stage. He held IL roll

greeted with applause, but il remained
for the reading of the declaration that
imperialism is the paramount issue
of this campaign" to evoke Il storm
was a perfect irruption of flags. They
fiuttered all over the walls and roof.
and ''brOke out all over the floor, and
the enthusiasm was tremendous.

Then Il climax vas sprung upon the
great assembly. \ huge flag had been
flung across the roof between two
trUsSes. and as the signal was given
the cords We're cut, and slowly 1t uu-
rolled its white and crimson folds as
it fell gracefully and swung over the

printed the following sentences in

The flag of Il republic forever. of
an empire never"

CHARGES AGAINST GAGE.
In Connection With The Sale of
The New York CustQn House.

Washington, D. c., Jan. %
There has been so much said about
Secretary Cages connection with
the National City bank Of New
YORK and SO little OF a satisfactory
nature learned that now many OF
the congressman who heretofore
have supposed that the alleged
charges were for the purpose Of
getting polical investigation are
wondering what on earth the
trouble is all about. The inTestiga-
.tiOn resolution which Mr.. Sulzer
some time ago was brought in by
the committee on rules this morn
ing with a recommendation that
it be referred to the ways and
means committee. Immediately
hot debate was precipitated by
Richardson and Sulzer, in which
it was made evident that taa
republicans were averse to sny
investigation which would give
the democrats a chance TO inter-
rOgate the secretary. The anxiety
of the majority to permit the
matter to rest upon the Secratary,s
ex pare statement was too great
to escape attention. The fact Tat
in the sale OF the custom house
property the secretary arranged it
so that the bank could escape
taxation is so strong in the opinion
of many members thai if the
secretary has been so clean in the
matter he should not object to
some democratic cross-examina-
ton.
To an outsider it would appear
that the transaction, while rech-
nieally straight ard square, is such
a complicated AFFAIR tnat the a /
ministration prefers not to takv
the public in It's confidence for the
present. As q matter of fact, it
looks to be very ugly case on
the surface.-News.

San Antonio Business Men Confer
With Mayor Hopes.
Time Via Rockport Much Shorter
Than Any Other and the Rates
DISQUALIFICATION to Visit
Brownsville.

oan Antonio Express, Jan. %.
The question of securing the
Brownsville trade by means of
schooner from Rockport, receives
an impetus at the hands of inter
ested parties yesterday. It was
agreed by al present to push the
matter, and to that end delega
ton representing the leading
houses of San Antonio viii make
trip to Brownsville soon aud see
FOR themselves just what can be
done.
The 5 o'clock meeting at the
rooms of the Business Mems Climb
yesterday afternoon was very we'll
attended. President aubrey pre-
sided and there were present Mayor
Hopes of ROckpOrt; NJ. Half,
representing his wholesale dry
goods house; Frank Arpe!l Of the
Lone Star Brewery: F. W. Cook
of the San Antonio Drug Company,
and several others.
Mayor Hopes was asked to lay
before the conference the PROPOSE
ton of the Rockport people, which
he did in a very few words. The
offer in brief is that the people
there want to establish a regular
schooner service between Rock
port and Brownsville. To make the
enterprise pay it will be necessary
to have goods to ship and all that
the merchants of San Antonio are
asked to do is to agree to route
their shipments that way. From
figures at hand Mayor Hopes
showed that the distance from
Rockport to Brownsville is Ill
miles; from Galveston, 267, and
from New Orleans more than 400.
The saving in time alone would be
considered in favor of the first
named place.
The conference then became in-
formal and questions for informa-
ton were asked freely. Mr.. Half
said the matter of securing the
Brownsville trade was merely one
Of transportation. His firm has ia
the past done business there, the
shipments being sent via Calves
| ton, where the railroad charges,
the wharf charges and the long
schooner trip make the rate very
high. Iu addition to that obstacle
the time required for the trip is
considerable. Mayor Eo0pes show
ed that goods taken to railroad
station here, say on Monday night,
can be placed in Brownsville the
following Thursday at noon. That
is practically only three days out,
while the schooner trip alone from
Galveston consumes sixty hours
under the best of weather condi-
tons.
Mr. Cook said all be desired to
know is whether or not the Rock
port people can make low rata as
is Il ow rlade via Houston and Gal
weston. If they can he is willing
to send a man to Brownsville to
work up the trade. Mr.. Aubrey
said be would send to the San An
tonic business men today COM
parative table showing the rates
from this city and also from Hous-
ton aud Galveston. Mayor Hopes
said the schooner rate from Rock
port to Brownsville under the pro-
posed service would only be %
cents hundred pounds. He was
pretty sure there would be no wharf
