washington, May 3.-The platform to
be adopted by the Republican national
convention has been among the topics
discussed at the various conferences
which have taken place at the White
House. in committee rooms at b. cap
ftol and at different residences where a
number Of Republicans nave been as
sembled. Senator Lodge, who is slated
for chairman of the committee on reso-
lutions at the convention. has been
quite active in the matter of platform
and has prepared preliminary sketches
of various topics and he thinks should
be treated.
The principal feature of the platform
will be the tariff plank, which will de-
clare in the strongest terms the adj
herence Of h Republican party to the
principles of protection, but will not
bind the party not to revise the tariff.
In fact it seems to have already been
agreed that the tariff will be revised in
the 59th Congress-.
There is at present a determination
to make the platform as brief as posi-

the administration and the acts Of the
party will be put in compact form.
The plank concerning trusts is a mat
ter of ~phraseology n language, but
in effect will declare that the laws for
the regulation of monopolies and the
restraint of conspiracy against COM
merce were enacted by the Republicans
and the enforcement of such laws have
only been by a Republican administra-
ton.
II anything is said about reciprocity,

reciprocity will be upon such articles

Popular Demonstration i'm Toxic.

Toxic. May 80 D.. m. The greatest
popular demonstration since the begin
ming of the war began in Toxic this
evening. The capital is showing it's joy
at the Japanese viceroy en- the Yalu.
Thousands of people, half OF whom are
women, paraded the streets in celebr4-
ton of the triumph of their arms. There
were dozens of paraderS in as many diff
ferent quarters and they later were Ill
centralized in one great pageant. The
students composed one parade, and they
all carried red lanters. The streets are
still lined with thousands of people and
the entire city is decorated with flags
and lanterns.
The supplemental report was received
here today from General Kuroki. 1t is
dated today and says:
Yesterday the enemy offered a stub
born resistance against our pursuit,
adding about three hundred to our cas-
uaIties. The enemy stood with resolu-
ton until their artillery, consisting OF
two batteries, lost the majority OF its
men and horses. They then broke the
breaches, and closing apparatus OF their
guns, hoisted the white flag.
According to a captured Russian Of
fcer, Major General Kashtalinsky,
commander of the third east Siberian
rifle brigade. the colonies Of the
Eleventh and Twelfth rifle regiments,
and the commander of the rifle artillery
battalion were killed in the fighting
at Hamatan.
1T seems that the enemy was entirely
routed by our attack, because since
yesterday many have come in and sur
rendered. Our prisoners include thirty
officers, twenty OF whom are wounded
and SEQ men, 100 of whom are wounded.
"A preliminary report from the chief
surgeon of the first Japanese army
shows that we had res men killed and
wounded. These casualties are divid-
ed as follows:
The Imperial Guards 1872; second 6i-
vision $50; third division 216."
