and Secretary Root will convey this
intelligence to the convention. The
decision was reached at the Cabinet
meeting yesterday.
The meeting lasted over an hour
and half and had been preceded by
an hours conference between the
President and Senators Plntt OF Con.
nccticut and Lodge OF Massachusetts.
AZ the author OF the amendment. the
President desired to learn the views
of Senator Piatt and also those OF
Senator Lodge. who is one OF the In.
nucntinl members OF the committee
on foreign relations.
At the Cabinet meeting Secretary
Root took the position that the inter.
prctntions OF the Platt amendment
contained in the constitution adopted
by the convention. and the whcrcascs
appended to Il. went outside of n fair
Interpretation OF It's meaning and was
unacceptable. In this view the cabi.
net concurrcd.
The Cabinet held that the amend.
ments and interpretations and tho
wealth Of whcrcascs placed by the Gu.
ban convention upon the Platt amend.
mcnt amounted to practical modiii.
cation Of the amendment. such as was
beyond tho power OF this government
to accept.

unqualified language. that there is no
power resting In the United States
government to change the terms OF

ance OF the Platt amendment without

ra,,,ie. In the sou,.,.

There was nothing especially signif-
cant politically In the reception given
the President. He had equally rs cor.
dial reception In Georgia nearly -four
years ago. and southern communities
nrc prompt to cvIncc patriotic spirit
and are never ncclcctful OF the laws OF
hospitality. Hut the Presidents
speeches gave evidence OF his sincere
desire to discard all sectional differ
cnccs and the broad and wholesome
nationality OF their tone was infectious
among his hearers. But the change OF
political conditions In the South Is I'M
mincnt because the basis OF the old or.
der has passed away and IL can not be
pcrpctuatcd on mere sentiment, prcju.
dice and rcscntful memories.
Mr.. Larry CAN'T Of Spartanburg.
South Carolina. who has hitherto been
n supporter OF Tiiiman. declares boldly
that the South In general and southern
cotton mills In particular may look for
great practical benefits from the nc.
adds: .'It is high time that the intclli,
gent voters OF the South were begin
ming to think and reason for them.
selves, and not so biindiy follow politi.
clans and office seekers. whose love OF
self and thirst for promotion greatly
ovcrbalnnces devotion to his people
and his country. I am n Democrat to
the core, but I am a progressive. twen.
tieth-century Democrat. and not an old
political fossil that. when going to mill,
put rock in one Of the sack and corn
in the other. just because my daddy al.
ways did that. The world don't stand
still. but moves forward. Every yeat
new issues present themselves for our
solution. Parties, as well Us men, IL
they do not desire to be left far behind
in the march of progress, must keep
pace with the times"
There are many progressive south
erners who think rs Mr.. CAN'T thinks
and they will not longer suffer their
thoughts and actions to he "cribbed,
coilincd and confined" for the sole pur-
pose of maintaining n party organiza-
tion that has lost its original purpose
and meaning.
President Mckinley may have done
something toward fastening the dis
ruption of the solid South, but his
chief opponent in the last two presi-
dental campaigns has done much
more. Had the Democratic party pur-
sued the even tenor of its way on the
old lines the loyalty of the South to
that party would have remained un-
shaken, for longer time at least, but
Bryan radicalism, coupled with Bryan
defeats. has been too trying n test for
the unqucstioning continuance in sub
servience to party name Of 10000, 600
people spread all the way from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande.
Division of sentiment in the South
Is inevitable as the old issues that made
it solid recede into history and new
ones arise that strongly affect the
South's material interest. The preju-
dice against the name Republican may
long linger in this section. 1t has an
association with war and reconstruc-
ton that is ill-savored in the South.
But division in sentiment on public
questions is already ut hand in the
Sonth. 1t is manifest everywhere and
that division will make impossible the
continuance of political solidity.-
