disastrous In the results that must of
necessity follow if it should be enacted
into law than any act ever passed by
Congress-
RESTRAINED BY CONSTITUTION.
1.-THE bill is framed upon the idea
and assumption that Congress enters
upon the government of Porto Rico I'M
restrained by the provisions Of the con-
stltution. This we deny. Those of us
who oppose- this measure. I believe
without exception, maintain that the
Dill cannot be enacted into law with
out total disregard and violation of
not simply the spirit, but the express
letter OF the constitution. The LOUISE
ana territory. Florida, Texas, Califor-
MA, New Mexico, Oregon and Alaska
nave all been acquired under our con-
stitution without a jar or strain to any
or its wise and beneflcent provisions
and without any demand for its
amendment. Every foot of this vast
domain was acquired and annexed I'M
der Democratic Presidents.
PREFER EXPANSION.
The Democratic party has always IA
vored proper expansion. Those of us
opposing this measure are not basing
our opposition to it on the ground that
1t is measure Of expansion. This Is
ton by Congress for the island at once
makes 1t part of the United States.
IL this bill passes it must follow that
1t Is then q part of the United States.
This being true the proposition which
this bill carries for unequal taxation
of the island as portion of the United
States Is the baldest form Of imperial
ism. The opposition to this bill plants
itself upon this ground. The measure
is imperialism itself. In the former
acquisitions, to which have referred.
no such measure as the pending one
was ever proposed or deemed neces-
sary.'
Mr.. Richardson then proceeded with
an exhaustive legal argument to prove
that the constitution extended over our
new possessions. quoting numerous de-
cisions Of the Supreme Court in sup
port OF his contention. He said the
passage of the bill would be an act OF
bad, faith.to the Porto Ricans.
LET u.s. he appealed, "vote-down
this most dangerous bill. In my opin-
ion not a solitary Democratic vote in
this chamber will be recorded in its
favor. All will stand by the Union and
the constitution.
FOR THE MEASURE.
Mr.. Dalzell second ranking majority
member of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, made legal and constitutional
argument In support of the contention
OF the majority that the constitution
did not extend over our new posses

A CHANGED APPEARANCE
Prize Fight Pulled Off in Kansas City
 Convention Hall

Kansas City, July 6.-In convention hall, where the Democratic hosts have assem- bled for four days past, there was marked change of scene tonight. The thousands of handsomely gowned women had disap- peared On the platform where but few hours previously statesmen of national prominence had faced cheering thousands the tables and chairs had given way to squared ring, the opponents being oscar Gardner "The Omaha Kid" and Eddy Sam try, of Chicago, who appeared for twenty round go. About three thousand admirers of the manly art gathered to witness the contest of the featherweghts.
 The -so-called fight was @ more or less -genteel contest, which terminated in a de- cision by George Siler in favor of Santry at the end of the stipulated twenty rounds. Both boys came out of the fight as fresh as they entered it, and aside from a swing by Santry on Gardner's left eye, which opened up an old wound, and another swing on blood, there was nothing in the fight which approached hard jolting. Santry was al- ways the aggressor, but most of his blows were blocked.
 The real pugilstic event of the evening was a rattling preliminary in which Bob- bic Quade of Kansas City knocked out Tommy Redman of Chicago in the second round

BOTH NOMINEES
 SEND GREETINGS s

Lincoln, Neb July 6-When the bulletin came announcing the nomination for Vice President of Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson, MT. Bryan expressed his pleasure and soon afterward dictated the following:
 MT Stevenson is excellent man for the place. He supported the ticket in 1896, and can defend the platform of 1900. Towne would have strengthened the ticket in the States where there is fusion between the Democrats, Populists and silver Republi- cans, but the support given MT. Stevenson shows the convention thinks MT. Stevenson the more able man. The choice has fallen upon who is in every respect worthy of the position"
 MT. Bryan then sent the following tele- gram:
 'Lincon Neb., July 6, 1S99 Hon. Adlai Stevenson, Bloomington, Ill.,.
 Accept congratulations upon your nomi- nation. It was a deserved recognition of party service. w. J. BRYAN" All through the day telegrams of con sgratulations poured in Among them were messages from o. H. P. Belmont, w. R. Hearst of New York and representatives of coloFed Democratic leagues. Among MT. Bryan's morning callers were H. B. Paul and J. S. Smith of New Jersey who came in from Kansas City this morning. They told him the Democrats were hope full of carrying that State for him, and they believed New York would without doubt be Democratic. MT. Bryan definitely decided not to go to Kansas City today af- ter he had a conference over the telephone with members of the National Committee at Kansas City.
 MT Bryan this evening received the fol- lowing telegram:
 "Minnetonka Beach, Mnn., July 6, 190O Accept my congratulations upon your unanimous nomination.
