party. Our duty was to go ahead
and make a. full ticket and go home.
After the repeated failures of the
two committees to get together and
agree on line of policy, our only
way out of it was to take positive
stand and go to the people with it.
1t was our duty to nominate ticket
partly of democrats and partly of
popuhsts, if you please, but still a
democratic ticket, nominated by a
democratic convention"
The platform denOunces the trusts,
reaffirms the Kansas City platform
without mentioning silver, advocates
the election of a board of railroad
commissioners by the people, de-
clares for the ownership of public
utilities by the people and indorses
the policy of democrats in congress
with reference to their attitude to-
wards the Philippine question.
The convention nominated United
States Senator Harris to succeed
himself.

Kinsley, for auditors; William Sence,
of Wichita, for superintendent of

this convention viii meet with the
populists at Topeka June "a to ratify
the balance of the ticket expected to
be filed out at that time.
After a hard fight in the conven-
ton, between an overwhelming ma
jority and an active and aggressive
minority, a resolution was passed de-
claring for the resubmission of the
prohibitory law to another vote of
the people. A hard fight was made
for an adjournment of the convention

lowing the populist to cooperate in
the naming of candidates, but the OPP
position to the adjournment won.
However, the convention by an
overwhelming vote adopted a resOlu-

vide the ticket with the populists
and instructing the democratic state
committee to meet with the populists
June "A and confer with them with
view of securing one anti-republi-

DISAPPROvED THE FINDINGS.
The Verdict of the Court Martial on Mai.
Waller and Lieut.. Day Not
Satisfactory.

Manila, May 26.-The official find
ings of the court-martial which tried
Maj. L. w. T. Waller and Lieut.. John
A. Day, of the marine corps, for ex-
ecuting natives on the island of Sa-
mar without trial have been made
public. The reviewing authority of
the court, Gen. Chaffee, has ex-
pressed disapproval of the courts
findings in both cases.
Referring to the case of Maj.
Waller, the reviewing authority says:
''Thc sending of the natives in ques-
ton to their death partook more of
unlawful retaliation than a justif-
able act of war. In justice to the
American military service the find
ings of acquittal demand that they
shall not meet with unqualified APP
prevail"

PEACE PROBABLY NEAR.
The War Between the British and Beers
Seems at End-A Few IrreconcIl-
ables May Be Left In the Field.

London, May 24.-The Associated
press has every reason to believe
that peace in South Africa is practi-
cally secured. How soon it will be
announced depends, apparently, more
upon the convenience of the Boer
leaders than upon the inclination of
the British government. The pri-
vate and official advices received last
night in London from South Africa
all point to the same conclusion. The
delay is technical, and to end the
long war seems to be the desire of
both British and Boer leaders. The
latter, however, are unable to con-
vince all their followers of the wis
dom of acquiescing to the terms of
peace. The most pessimistic forecast
heard last night only admits that a
few isolated bands of irreconcilables
may be left in the field.

Washington, May 24.-Bishop Tho

the Philippine committee of the SEN

pecially as to the rights OF the
United States to dominate the Phil
ippine islands. He said that the
United States had more rights in the
Philippines than it had over the
American Indians because the islands
were acquired by treaty. He was
asked as to whether he thought the
strong countries had the right to
subjugate weaker ones by force and
said the question did not apply to
the United States and the Philippines
because the islands were acquired by
treaties.
