what we already knew and that this telegram
involves nothing but the repetition or ract
which had been previously recognized, That the
ONLY thing that can be said here was that MI

liams interrupted him with the remark: Here
is typewriter copy"
For which thank Almighty God" retorted
the Senator. He then read the following mes
sage to Judge Parker:
The platform adopted by this convention Is
silent on the question Of a monetary standard
because it is not regarded by US as a possible
issue in this campaign, and only campaign Is
sues were mentioned in the platform
Therefore, there y nothing in the views ex-
pressed by you in the telegram just received
which would preclude man entertaining them
from accepting a nomination on said platform
(Applause)
AS Mr.. TIlman concluded the reading of the
message Representative Richardson, of Ala
bama. arose and said, ITO discuss the message
to be sent to Judge Parker" Chairman Clark
explained that he had recognized Senator Till
man, who also desired to discuss the same mat
ter. Mr.. Richardson bowed and retired at once
and Mr.. Tillman proceeded as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Conven
ton: AS 1 entered the hall tonight, passing
among some gentlemen whom l knew, 1 was
caught by the arm by one of them, distin-
guished Democrat from Missouri who, looking
me in the eye said. 'Tillman, depending
on you to see that there is no trickery or horse
play here tonight" (Applause) In answer to
that challenge or expression of confidence
tool%it as something of bCth--I looked him in
the eye and responded: Upon my hoEar,
am going to tell you the truth, the whole truth.
and nothing but the truth and L will allow no
man TO trif1e with you in this case" (Applause)
Now what is involved in this situation? We
have been laboring here for five days, many of
us more than that, having been the ground
before the convention assembled and some of
us have been in positions which required at
least no sleep for two nights, and very little in
the day. am among those unfortunates. We
have wrestled with another. We have ex-
changed opinions. We have battled with
another, at least in the committee resolu-
tons. for l was in that committee In it's session
Of fifteen or sixteen hours continuous work, and
I know with how much of travail. how much of
anguish, the platform which has been adopted

give and take. There were pronounced views
antagonistic which had to be reconciled. and
after the long and laborious work of that COM
mttee we succeeded in bringing about what I
thought at various times in the elaboration was
an tmpossibility. we succeeded in bringing to
you q platform adopted by your committee on

Grant once said that the Democratic party
might always be relied upon to commit some

Port Arthur.

Port Arthur is situated in the pro-
vince of Tong. China, at the head
of the Yellow sea, and on the Amo
river 1t was captured by Japan
from China during the war between
those two countries 1t is now in the
possession of Russia. and was OBJ
tanned from China by treaty, thus
depriving Japan of one of the fruits
of her victory over China
Port Arthur is a town of several
hundred people. 1t has been connec-
ted by railroad with the Russian
town of Vladivostock The Russians
have fortified it with many and
strong forts, and the place is said
to be imDregnable. At Port Arthur
are located the store houses, arse
nails and dock yards of the Russian
fleet and it will be one of the main
objects of Japanese attack. Port Ar
thur is about $50 miles from Naga-
saki the nearest Japanese port The
Russian possession of this place has
always been a sore point with Japan
as she considered herself entitled to
it, by reason of her victory over Chi
ma.
How many troops Russia has in
Manchuria and the far east is not
accurately known. They can only be
reinforced over the Siberian
Railway, single track road, stretch
ing for thousands of miles through
a hostile and forbidding country. 1t
is claimed by some Europeans and
American engineers that this line
will be easily cut and that Russia
will be unable to keep it open for
the passage of her troops. Thousands
of Japanese disguised as coolies are
said to be distributed along it.

on Port Arthur. it was also stated
that the cable from Vladivostock had

official assurances that she will i'm

success at Port Arthur would aid
Japan.

that Japan has requested China to
declare coal contraband of war. The
effect of this would be to cut off the

China's continuance in supplying the
Russians with coal would be con-
sidered a breach of neutrality.

to the imperial government pro-
posal for the revision of the exist

friendly character, but the Japanese
