The platform cordially approves the
principles declared by the last national
democratic convention at st. Louis, and
the nomination of Alton B. Parker for
president. It favors the creation Of a
commission to regulate all public service
corporations and also a law compelling
railway companies to sell mileage books

primary election law passed by the last
legislature is strongly opposed and the
state administration is roundly scored.

What has been termed the radical ele-

two sides, the fractional division and

PANAMA CANAL. QUESTION.
Will Be the Subject of Debate In the
Senate for Many Days.

VIII Dc tHS ouOJeCt OF Oeodte IN the
Senate for Many Days.
Washington, Jan. 25.-The senate
has no programme for the present
week. beyond a continuation Of the
debate on the Panama question. The
fact that the German resolution of in
quiry was disposed of last week will
not change the situation except that
1t may make a new basis for speeches.
This will be supplied in the resolu-
lions of inquiry to be introduced to-
day as the result of Saturdays con
ference of Democrats. "A number of
addresses are still to be made on
both sides of the controversy and it
is quite certain that the debate will
continue for many days. 1t is well
understood on both sides of the cham
Der that in reality the treaty and not
any particular resolution is being dis
cussed, the reason being that the
treaty itself could not be discussed
In open senate, whereas the resolution
can be. The Democrats prefer an
open discussion of the question and
the Republicans, as a matter of policy
and in the interest of the expedition
Of the vote on the treaty, have not
objected. When it becomes apparent
that the discussion in open session is
exhausted, executive sessions will be
ordered and the debate will proceed
behind closed doors.
1t is quite well understood that the
amendments to the treaty reported by
the committee on foreign relations will
be withdrawn before final action is
taken.

Vienna, Jan. 25.-A telegram from
Belgrade reports that Servians and
Montenegrins living abroad are en-

INHABITANTS OF THE STRICKEN
NORWEGIAN CITY SUFFER
FROM EXPOSURE.

Aalesund, Norway, Jan. 25.-The fire
which swept e. this town Saturday
destroyed every building in it with
the exception of the hospital. The
1000 inhabitants Of Aalesund were
compelled to camp in the open, as
only a few damaged and uninhabit-
able houses were left standing. The
children Of the town had to be housed
temporarily in the church at Borgund.
dFhe panic among the people was so
great after the outbreak of the flames
that all attempts at leadership or
discipline became out Of the question;
no excuses, however; were commit
ted. The people first endeavored to
save some of their property, but they
o 20 found they had quite enough to
do to ia their own lives. The de-
struction of the town was complete
within a couple of hours from the time
the fire started. Over twenty steam
fishing boats and many sailing smacks
were sunk in the harbor in order to
them from the flames, but three
steamers and many smacks were
burned.
It is believed now that only three
persons lost their lives. Succor has
arrived from Molde, Bergen and other
places, and provisions are being dis
tributed. Relief committees have
been formed and have invited public
subscriptions. The king and queen
Of Sweden and Norway have CON
tr!buted $1,000 to a relief fund and all
the other members of the royal family
have also subscribed. A majority Of
the inhabitants Of the town lost every
thing they possessed and only in a
very few ase were the damages COW
cred by insurance. Thousands of per-
sol had to spend t%wenty-four hours
in the open fields, where they were
without food and exposed to a bitterly
cold wind and a driving rain storm.

ALARMING REPORTS SENT OUT
Japanese Said to Be Landing an Army
In Korea.

-
st. Petersburg, Jan. 25.-Reports Of
an alarming nature Of the situation
there continue to pour out of the, far
East. These include the statements
that the Japanese are landing an army
at Masampho, Korea, and that 5000
Russian troops are crossing the Yalu
river. The reported dispatch of a
Chinese army of soldiers trained by
European officers beyond the Great
Wall to preserve order in Manchuria
cannot be confirmed here and. the re-
ports of the Japanese at Masampho
and the Russians at the Yalu are dis
credited at the foreign office here and
by M. Kurino, the Japanese minister
to Russia.
While the Russian government un-
derstands the situation in Korea to be
disturbed and possibly threatening, it
has no information of a situation grave
enough to warrant the landing of a
large Japanese force there. Russia
freely admits Japan's right, under ex-
listing conventions, to land in Korea a
reasonable number of soldiers to pre-.
serve order; but the landing of an
army at this stage of the negotiations
could not be viewed with equanimity.
