Did Not Require Much Time TO settle

Kansas City, July 4.-The Committee on
Credentials made quick work of the con-
tests. They assembled a t the Kansas City
Club and Edward Gray of Texas was made
chairman. The only hearing given was to
the District of Columbia, and the commit
tee decided to admit both delega lions with
half a vote each.
In the Indian Territory case, each dele

The greatest interest conferred on the
Montana case and as soon as il was DALI
ed motion was made to ratify the action
of the National Committee and seat the
each side a hearing was defeated by a vote
of 80 to 10, and the Clark delegation was
seated without discussion.
The Oklahoma contestants were given

wanted a hearing. They had hearing
before the New York state delegation yes

cided not to take up the matter. The
committee adjourned and thai7
there was row. The New York
men and the Oklahoma men began speak,
Ing. The crowd surged In, mounted chairs
and pushed up around the speakers. Ma
honey made himself chairman and ut
tempted to secure order. An attempt was
made to get the dissatisfied element from
all states and territories 20 organize "a
protest and submit a minority report TO
the convention. Finally Mahoney got or

STEVENSON COMING Up.
Ex-Vice President Seems TO Be
Growing in Strength

Kansas City. July Avery little that
was tangible developed in the vice presi-
dental situation tonight. although the
Stevenson candidacy apparently met
with favor and there seemed 10 be pos
sibility of this being the solution Of the
question.
The determination of the Indiana dele
cation 10 put Shively in the field caused
a little diversion during part of the day,
but Mr.. Shively stated this evening that
he was not a candidate and would not
be. AS 10 the action of the Indiana dele
cation. he said that after what he had
told them there was no reason for the
belief that he would be a candidate
Friends of Stevenson said that they would
have been prefecty willing a short time
ago TO have supported Shively, but after
the positive statement made yesterday
that Shively would NOT be a candidate
and would not be presented by Indiana
they now felt that they should stand by
Stevenson
The demons trations made over Hill in
the convention to-day was taken by some
TO mean that the convention would be
stampeded for him, but Hill does not
think so, and it is possible that if he
makes a speech on the platform. he will
make it plain that he could not be a can
didate on a Bryan platform. He says
emphatically that he will not be nomi-
mated
Two other booms remain in much the
same condition they were yesterday. Both
Towne and Sulzer are in the race, though
the convention does not seem inclined to
favor them. The Towne men claim they
have the support of Bryan, and that if
l6 to ! is put in the platform, their man
will be the logical candidate.
New York men say that the az tion yes
terday for John w. Keliar is in earnest,
and that they will try and secure his NOM
ination.
Tonight the vice presidency is in doubt
with leaning toward Stevenson.
Indiana determined 10 present the name
of Benjamin f. shively for Vice President
at meeting held this morning Mr.
Shively was present at the meeting and
stated that he did not want TO be a can
didates, but the delegation decided to pre-
sent his name, and Maj. Menzies was Sc
lected to make the nominating speech.
Subsequently Mr. Shively made the fol-
lowing statement: L am profoundly
sensible OF the honor involved in the ia
vorable mention of my name in connection
with the nomination for the vice presi-
dency. But / have not been a. candidate
Tor the nomination, am not now and could
not accept the distinguished honor if ten
dered. My reasons are of a purely bust
ness character, but nevertheless such as
with me, are legitimate, potential and
conclusive. With assurances of sincere
thanks to the Indiana delegation, end
the numerous delegations from other
states for their generous proffers of sup
port i'm the convention, 1 must again re
considered in connection with the noGni-
nation.

THREE PLATFORMS OFFERED.
Presented the Committee by Metcalf,
VAN Wyck and Garrard.

Kansas City, July 4.-The contest over
the question of tn e monetary ratio, which
has been brewing ever since the delegates
to the convention began TO assemble,
found expression in the Committee on Res
oIutions when 1t assembled to-day.
The committee was called together soon
after the first adjournment Of the conven-
ton. but only elected its officers, adjourn
ing to meet again at $50 p. m. Senator
Jones Of Arkansas was unanimously chos-
en- chairman, and Mr.. Metcalf of Nebraska
secretary.
When the committee reassembled, Mr..
Metcalf presented the draft OF a platform,
covering all questions of public interest,
which draft all the members accepted as
Mr.. Bryan's. Mr.. Garrard of Georgia also
presented a platform, as did Mr.. Van
Wyck of New York. All these documents
took practically the same ground upon all
questions except that of finances. Mr.
Metcalfs declarat ton was for the reaftir-
nation of the Chicago platform in letter
and spirit and il emphasized and reiter-
ated specifically the declaration for the
free coinage Of silver at the ratio of 10 to
l. Both the other drafts simply reaffirm-
ed the Chicago platform without reference
to the ratio.
Took Up Finances.
The reading of MIR. Van Wyck's docu-
ment brought Mr.. Ball OF Texas, 10 his
feet, with the suggestion that the finan-
cial question should be Immediately taken
up and passed upon. He said 1t was APP
| parent to all that there was no division
upon any other question of the platform.
| and with the financial plank disposed of,
the preparation OF the remainder of the
platform would be merely a matter of
clerical work.
This suggestion was adopted and the
| committee Immediately entered upon the
effort TO settle the question of ratio. The
session proved a very interesting one, and
| many speeches were made.
Mr.. Van Wyck led of with a brief
| statement. saying that while in his plat
form he had referred TO four issues as
prominent, namely, those OF Imperialism.

considered that only three of these were

Congress.

Congress reconvened on Wednesday after a
recess over the holidays. The session prom
ises TO be lively one in both houses. One
subject that will come up will be the policy OF
the Mckinley Administration in the Philip
mines. and while the House rules may limit
discussion there will be plenty of latitude in
the Senate. Another question that will pro-
woke lively discussion VIII be the deposit of
Government funds in favorite New York
bank, without interest, and still another sub
iect that will interest members and the coun-
try is that of pensions. The bills already in
trodueed in Congress concerning pensions
would reeessitate the expenditure, if passed,
of two hundred millions of dollars in addition
to the regular appropriation of one hundred
and forty-fve millions. The food of applica-
tions for pensions on account of the war with
Spaia led the Government to put detectives
to work and it was learned that pension at
torreys had the muster rolls of all regim ents
and was importuning the men to apply for
pensions. From one Massachusetts regiment
fIl00 men $50 applications for pensions have
been received.

What the Returned Volunteers Say.

From Springfield Mass Republican.
Something ike 100 of the California sol
diers Just returned from the Philippines have
been interviewed by correspondents Of the
New York World They are practically
unanimous in the opinion that the Islands are
not worth 6shtning for. Nine out Of every
10 soldiers Who were sent to Manila, said one
OF them, condemn the policy that has in
volyed this country in war with the natives
Nearly all speak of the intolerable climate and
say they would not go back there again under
any consideration. They also express bitter
feelings against General Otis.
These interviews are presumably represeu'
iaiiye. Ii they were not, the many soldiers
holding opposite opinions would not be ig
nored by the imperiAlist newspapers. The
fact has been made clear that the volunteers
are returning from Manila convinced almost
to 3 man OF the folly OF the whole annexation
business, and feeling bitterly over the use
they have been put to against their wills. As
these men scatter about through the Vests
they must affect public opinion there mate,
