PHILADELPHIA. June 20.-The commit

difficulty in agreeing on a declaration of
principles. All the members practically
agree on the sentiment to be expressed
along the entire lire of subjects to be COW

The subcommittee sat from 6 o'clock until
Q and then adjourned to meet at u o'clock
midnight.
The committee had before it the draft of
the platform prepared by Postmaster Gen.
eral Smith and Senator's Foraker and Fair
banks. and while it found the document
elegantly expressed. the opinion was ex
pressed by several of the members that it
was Of too great length and not sufficiently
catchy in phrase for popular consump-
advocating 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..
Quigg spent a part of the evening in this
task. and when the subcommittee convened
at midnight presented his draft to them.
The subcommittee adjourned a few min
utes after 2 o'clock. 1t concluded it's draft
of the financial plank. which is as given
elsewhere. with the addition of the follow
ing clause:
I'VE are unalterably opposed to the free

rumor has been current here for several
weeks that the Hon. II. Clay Evans would

AMERICAN WINES BARRED.


censes the CalifOrntans.
PARIS, June 1.-THE national commits
sioners to-day continued their inspection
of the American exhibits at the exposition,
preparatory to making their report. They
visited the sections of machinery and cleo
tricity and agriculture and the agricultural
annex, where the corn kitchen is located
and where agricultural implements are
shown. They also viewed the display of
machinery for heating. ventilating and SAN
~itation. the publishers building and d.
versiied industries.
The jury on wines has decided not to
judge any foreign wine which bears the
name of any French wine. Most American
wines lave the general names of the
French wines after which they are fla
vored. such as Sauterne. Chablis. Bor-
deaux. ChateauyQuem, etc. These will be
excluded under the action of the jury.
which are Frenchmen. The California
commissioners, who hope to secure rec
ognition for their wines. are incensed,
and threaten to withdraw all their
exhibits. 1t is felt here that jealousy of
the American wine industry is at the bot
tom of the trouble. as the wines now ex-
Guided were judged at the exposition of
1899 under the names they now bear. Be-
sides, the American wines were ~catalogued
under their present names, and there has
been no protest until now.
Late this afternoon the question was
brought to the attention of the American
commission by DR.. Wiley, the American
representative on the wine jury, and pres
sure will be brought to bear with the OBJ
ject of annulling the decision, which is
considered most unjust to the American ex-
hibitors. 1t is believed the wine jury,
which is a class jury, acted without au-
thority, and that it would be overriden by
the group jury, whose duty it is to decide
such matters.

Ii MAY STAY GENERAL WAR.
Minister WI Places Much Reliance ON
the Aged Vfceroy.

WASHINGTON, June 1s.-Mr. WI. the
Chinese minister here, halls with genuine
satisfaction the report which comes from
Canton that Ii Hung Chang has been
ordered to Picking. He thinks it augurs
will exert a beneficial effect on the treat
ment Of the Boxer situation. Mr.. WI lays
stress on the fact that Ii Hung Chang is
an honored and trusted servant of the
Empress dowager, and a man belonging to
the progressive element in his country. 1t
was for his valuable work in years past in
dealing with organizations like the Boxers
that Lii received some of the honors con-
ferred upon him. Mr.. Wu has received
nothing TO confirm the report, but he hopes
hat it will prove TO be correct. In fact,
nothing official has been received by the
minister from his government, which is
maintaining complete silence in the present
situation. nor has Mr.. WI made an attempt
to communicate with the authorities in
Picking.
The minister continues optimistic regard
ing the light which took place between the
Taku forts and the foreign warships as
sembled there, believing that a thorough
examination will demonstrate that the night
on the men-of-war was unauthorized ana
rences have happened heretofore, at one
time when Mr.. WI was located at a promi-
nent Chinese city. The affair, upon inves-
tigation, proved to have been the result OF
a mistake and was satisfactorily settled.
Mr.. WI scouts the idea that a state of war
exists between China and the United States
as a result of the fight at Taku. Such an
assumption, he declares, is absurd and
without the least foundation TO support.
Whatever may be its ultimate purpose re-
speeding the reinforcement of Admiral
kempff with soldiers up to this time, the
orders of the War Department contemplate
the sending of only the Ninth Infantry.
Secretary Root said tonight that no
other troops had been ordered TO mass at
Manila, nor had any troops in addition to
the Ninth Infantry been directed to pro-
coed to China.
