1t indorses the Cuban reciprocity views
or President Roosevelt, favors immediate
building of an interoceanic canal, and in
dorses the efforts of the national admin
lstration to enforce the provisions Of the
antitrust law.
At tonight's session of the regular repub-
lcan state convention a lengthy platform
dealing with state and national questions
was adopted. No reference was made to
the separate action of dissenting republic
cans. The platform reaffirms the republic
can national platform of 1900, indorSes the
Roosevelt administration, opposes trusts,
favors an iSthmian canal, demands liberal
appropriations for an Arkansas exhibit at
the worlds fair, condemns the democratic
party of Arkansas for failure to suppress
trusts, or even to make a bona fide attempt
to do so,' and for it's alleged mismanage-
ment of state affairs generally. A resolu-
ton was adopted denouncing lynching and
other forms of 1awlessness, and calling
upon the citizens everywhere to exert every
effort to uphold law and order.

TWO CONVENTIONS IN ARKANSAS
Split in the Republican Party at Little
Rock

A dispatch from Little Rock, Ark, yes
terday says: Two separate republican
state conventions were held here today as
the result Of factional differences. One
convention nominated Charles D. Greaves
Of Hot Springs for governor, and protested
by resolution against what it terms the
unfair practices and methods Of the So
called republican central committee and
the arbitrary dictation of boss rule, other
wise known as Claytonism.''
The other convention, called the regular
assemblage, met this afternoon and busted
itself In the appointment of committees. It
received a telegram of cordial greeting
from General Powell Clayton. ambassador
to Mexico. Clayton's name was cheered by
the regulars. He was reelected a member
at large of the state committee after the
convention had changed the manner of
electing committe emen, which seems to de-
volve that duty upon the delegate After
the transaction of routine business recess
was taken till 8 pm.
The convention that nominated Greaves
for governor adopted a platform which in
dorses the administration of President
Roosevelt and pledges him support .in the
continuance Of our national prosperity and
the maintenance, at home and abroad, of
the nations honor.
Should he be the republican standard
bearer in 1904" the platform continues I'VE
pledge an increased republican vote from
the state OF Arkansas"

DEATH OF LARS ANDERSON.
He Was Second Secretary of American
Legation in Rome.

A special to the New York World from
Cincinnati, yesterday says: Lars Anderson,
the second secretary of the American en-
bassy at Rome who in 1897 married Isabel
Perkins, the Boston heress to ST., O00,O 600, is
dead.
Death came suddenly upon him this
morning at the home of his brother, DR..
Joseph Anderson, in Ridgefield. Conn, and
it caused a terrible shock to his young
wife and his friends, whose first knowl-
edge that he had been i'll came in the mes
ga &c of his death. The first word to reach
this city was a brief telegram from the
dead millionaire's brother instructing ex-
Judge w. NJ. Worthington, his attorney, to
notify the widow and her young children
An hour later the news spread throughout
the city. Anderson, since his settlement
here, had been prominent as capitalist
and landowner, and had the close friend
ship of bankers, brokers and professional
men.

CITY GOVERNMENT UPSET.
Decision of Ohio Supreme Court Neces-
sitates Extra Session.

A dispatch from Columbus, Ohio, yester-
day says: According to state ofhclals, an
extra session of the Ohio legislature now
seems certain. The supreme court during
the present week has held a number of i'm
rortant laws to be invalid.
Decisions handed down today held the
Cleveland city government to be unconsti-
tutional. and also special law enacted for
the city of Toledo taking the control of the
police out of Mayor Jones hands.
The court in the Trauger case, directs
Governor Nash to appoint lieutenant gov
ernor. Lieutenant Governor Nippert was
appointed probate judge of Hamilton coun-
ty and President Pro Tenn. Archer of the
senate was supposed to succeed the lieu
tenant governor. The contention of Trau-
ger that a vacancy in the Office exists is
sustained.
The court sustained the validity of the
Roger act. which limits the jurisdiction OF
the supreme court to a certain class Of
cases and takes away % per cent of its
jurisdiction in appeal cases.
On Tuesday the court held special salary
laws for county officers to be unconstitu-
tional. so that now things in the cities
named. as well as in forty-two of the
lightweight counties, are left in chaotic
state.
A Cleveland dispatch says: Mayor John
son is in New York city for few days.
During Ills dDSenCe DueClOT Oh Law Gea-
com Is acting mayor. When asked what
would be the effect of the supreme courts
decision declaring the federal plan of gov
eminent under which this city Is gov
erned) unconstitutional, Mr.. Beacon said
| that there would be no effect felt until Oc-
| tober, when the mandate of the court
| would become effective. AS result of the
decision there will be a general upheaval Of
| officials in the city's government. The di-
rectors of law public works, fire, police and
| charities will be removed from office, and.
| as result, possibly the numerous clerks in
| their respective departments.
The federal plan law Is unusual in that
| 1t centralizes all responsibility in the
mayor. who is held to account for the faith
| full performance OF duty. The law was at
tackled on the ground that it was special
| legislation. Until the supreme courts de-
cision becomes effective the federal plan
| will continue in operation. Director of Law
| Beacon says he can see no other way out
| of the tangle caused by the courts decision
| than a special session OF the legislature and
| the passage of municipal code bill
] The city of Cleveland was the first to
adopt the federal plan, which was instituted
| in the spring of 1891 No other city in the
| state is governed under the federal plan,
the enactment being such that it applied
| only to this city.

DIED HORRIBLE DEATHS.
Victims Of MONT fPelee Were Not Sud-
denly Stricken.

dispatch TO the Philadelphia Times
from New York last night says: Astound-
ing charges were made this afternoon at a
secret meeting Of the chamber Of commerce
by M. De Meduil, representative Of the
French chamber Of commerce Of this city,
against Governor L'Huerre of Martinique.
1.-The governor was too busy electioneer-
ing" said he, ito send help to st. Pierre.
Contrary to all that has been published
on the subject the inhabitants Of st. Pierre
were not stricken dead instantaneously. For
two days the hatf-choked and half-burned
survivors were left writing in the streets
in agony and crying for help that came not.
Governor LHuerre tries to create the i'm
preston that all were killed as they stood.
Two gendarmes, who made their way to
the ruined city the next day, have already
testified to the contrary. The governor de-
clares that he will put those men on the

Those who had entered the town three

In the streets. How many of the ST. Pierre
