London, May 1.-THE British army
has occupied Kroonstad, completing
what is believed TO be the last irnpor-

the cessation of this war. With reference
10 this connection at Porto Rico ii is de-
clared that the declaration of independ-
ence, the constitution, and the American
flag are one and inseparable. 1t is also de-
clared in this connection that the island of
Porto Rico is part of the territory of the
United States, made so by our promises
and the consent of the Porto Ricans them
selves.
There is a strong resolution of sympathy
for the Beers a declaration against the mo-
nopolzng OF public land for speculative
purposes, demand for a return TO the orig
inal homestead policy, a declaration for
the placing of all goods controlled by the
trusts upon the free tariff list, a condemna-
ton for the governor of Idaho and the fed
eral government in connection with the
Occur Alene troubles, and the usual de-
mand for the initiative and referendum.
Trusts are denounced and the populistic
method for the control of public utilities
such the railroads and the telegraphic
systems and of the issuance of money is
recommended as the proper remedy for
this evil.
The financial plank is as follows: 1--WE
reaffirm the demand for the opening of the
minis of the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and gold at
the present legal ratio of sixteen to one;
the immediate increase in the volume of

Filipino republican cabinet, who was

predominant notes were abuses and i'm
moralities. the offspring of Ignorance and
the inherited vices Of Spain, by which the
Filipino regime was rendered odious to our
own people" Therefore. he contends,
American control Is necessary TO prevent
civil strife He recommends to the ma
tional Filipino party the adoption OF
programme embodying the following fea-
lures:
First. Recognition of the sovereignty OF
the United States, the cessation of HOSTILE
ties and cooperation Of the present Fill
pinos in the prosecution of bandits who
continue depredations in the name of in
dependence
Second. \ request for a declaration by
the United States government guaranteeing
to the Filipinos personal liberties and
rights under a constitution.
Third. \ Filipino representative dele
cation TO present to the American con-
gress and public the desires of the Fill
pinos respecting political status
Fourth. The application of part of the
public funds for the maintenance of hospi-
tails Tor sick and wounded Filipino soldiers
and for the establishment of schools

funds To the American treasury.

nent system of Filipino representatives, to

winning the fight had ii gone the limit.
He had not been badly punished. and
had managed to mark his man severely.

jolt TO the jaw. Corbett dropped like
a weight ard was clear out. Jeffries
showed ability 10 take punching, "a
any distance, and punch hard. He was
clearly outboXed, and at times made to
look like a novice. The crowd which
numbered fully 5000. was with Cor
bett. and his defeat fell upon silent
crowd. There were cheers given him
when he revived and left the ring. and
he was generally shown more considera-
ton than the victor.
