TORPEDO BOAT DESTROYER
SUNK BY COLLISION

Portsmouth, Eng, April 3.-Thirty-
six men, including Lieutenant Middle
ton, commander of the torpedo boat
destroyer Tifor, lost their lives in
a collision off the island of Wight
last night between that vessel and
the British cruiser Berwick. The ves-
sells belonged to the Portsmouth divis
ion of the British home fleet and were
engaged in night maneuvers in the
channel while on the way to Ports
mouth. The night was very dark and
the Berwick was steaming slowly
when the destroyer attempted to cross
the big cruisers bow. She was caught
amidships and cut in half, sinking
almost Immediately. The deck cr~
were dressed in heavy oilskins and
boots and went down with the ves-
sci. OF the % saved most were engi-
neers and stokers, who having on
light clothing we're able to keep them
selves afloat. The collision occurred
at $40 last night while the ships
were ma7euvering without lights.

time for revolution was

opportune time for revolution was
present, and asserted that it ssonly
needs the genius of a Robespierre
and the eloquelce of a Danton to set
the country in a blaze.' Following his
address the report of the committee
on resolutions was presented.
The report of the committee was
attacked by T. H. Tibbles, of Ne
braska, who said the most important
part of the money plank adopted by
the committee last night had been
omitted. Mr.. Parker explained that at
a subsequent meeting of the commit
tee the plank had been materially
modified. Tibbles charged that this
was done without the knowledge of
the committee in resolutions, and
after considerable wrangling made a
motion to incorporate the missing
portion in the platform. This motion
was tabled, 462 to 4O7. By another
motion it was afterward taken from
the table and submitted to the com
mittee which was ordered to report
at the afternoon session A recess

Club met this morning and, acting

the second story of the new Dilley

with the privilege of extending it

st. Louis, Mo-, April 3.-The plat
form to be submitted to the Populist
national convention was completed
at daybreak, after an all night ses-
sion of the committee on resolutions.
Much consideration was given to the
money plank, and when it was finally
accepted by majority of the COM
mittee was not acceptable to the mi
nority, and a fight over the phraseol
certain. A debate is also expected on
the tariff plank as prepared by the
committee. This plank declares that
the issuing of money is a function of
the government alone, and should not
be delegated to any corporation or
individual. The demand is made that
money be issued direct to the people
without the Intervention of banks
and be full legal tender for all
debts, public and private. The work
ing of the national bank law is criti
cised, and the demand made that the
power to issue money be taken from
the banks. The Aldrich bill is de-
nounced, as is also the Fowler bill.
The plank on trusts demands that
the government own and control the
railroads and all public utilities which
in their nature are monopolies.
Government ownership of general
parcels post are also asked. Taxation
of monopoly privileges while they re-
main in private hands is another fea-
ture of this plank. The initiative and
referendum and the power to recall
from office disloyal or inefficient rep
resentatives is advocated. Other
planks demand: enactment of legis-
lation looking to the Improvement of
conditions for wage earnerS, the abo-
lition of child labor and suppression
of sweat shops and the abolition of
convict as opposed to free labor; the
exclusion of foreign pauper labor; an
eight hour work day and legislation
in favor of safety appliances for
ployers' liability act within constitu-
tional bounds; immediate adoption of
precautionary measures to prevent
repetition of mining disasters; work
on public improvements in times of
depression for unemployed men; the
passage of a law prohibiting courts
from assuming jurisdiction involving
the constitutionality of any law en-
acted by congress and approved by
the President, maintaining farmers
organizations and extension of their
power and influence.
The first clash in the convention
came over the report of the commit
tee on permanent organization that
George A. Honnecker, of New Jersey,
be made permanent chairman.
w. B. Jones, of Nebraska, moved
as a substitute that the temporary
organization be made permanent.
Chairman Coxey asked him to with
draw the motion, and upon his refusal,
the substitute was lost by a vote of
4S6 to PSI. Ho1necker was then elect
ed permanent chairman.
Honnecker made an addreSS OF con-
siderable length, in which he vigorous
ly attacked the courts of the country,
under whose ruling he declared many
gross injustices had been committed.
He attacked the Democratic party
for the conduct of President Cleve-
la1d in the railroad strike of 1894.
and the Republican party for sending
troops to Idaho during the strike of
miners. He deprecated the Industrial
sttuation Of the country. declared the

weekly ball game at Amusement Park
yesterday afternoon, seven to SIX,
and to more than any other cause the
victory can be assigned to the cadets
good luck that has followed them all
season, for the playing and hitting
were almost equal on both teams.
One inning was played in a spring
shower, and it was in the rain that
most of the hits and scores were
made.
In the first inning Roswell made a
score on a base on balls, an error and
a hit. In the second Wynne got
terrific home-run, knocking the ball
twenty feet over the fence at the
north end of the park. In the fourth
the Institute scored again on a hit,
sacrifice, a single and an error. In
the fifth the town boys tied 1t up on
two hits and an error. About that
time the drizzle started IN, but moth
ing was doing until the last OF the
seventh, when the rain fell in a
shower. The town boys were at the
bat. Crowell had just been in the
box to relieve Walker. Five hits and
two errors netted two runs &5eaPffi.
two errors netted four runs, and it
looked like a town victory. But in
the first of the eighth the shower con-
tinued. The Institute got four hits
and two errors helped them to secure
five runs. After that 40 more runs
were made.
Walker pitched six innings for the
Institute. He struck out one, gave
three bases on balls and allowed four
hits Crowell pitched one inling, al
lowing five hits and one base on
balls, with no strike-outs. Wynne
pitched two innings, allowing no hits,
one base on balls and striking out
four. Crowen took Walkers place in
the game and exchanged places with
Wynne in the eighth.
Caldwell pitched four innings for
the town team. He allowed three
hits. one base on balls and struck out
three. Then Big Jim pitched the rest
of the game, allowing six hits. one
base on balls and three bases by hit
ting batters.
Franco caught a fine game for the
town team in the absence of Reed,
who was laid up with a sore knee,
injured in the last game with the In
stitute.
In running from second to home in
the eighth Wynne cut third about
