CLAY CKNTRR, Kan., April 25. Kansas
populists In state convention here today
elected eighty-four delegates to the na
tional convention nt' Slod'xS. Falls .and in
structed them to vote solidly for nryan.
The delegates then adjourned and proceeded
to tho depot to greet Sir, Hryan, who came
In from tho Wichita banquet on a special
train. Flvo thousand pcoplo escorted tho
Nebraskan to tho city square and cheered
him heartily as he spoke on the issues of
tho day.
In tho convention during tho vcte on del
egates George Eastcrwood of Kansas City
said ho had heard that democrats would
spend $10,000,000 In tho Kansas City con
vention to beat Bryan. Judgo'Pfost asked
what the Kansas delegates should do If
thero should bo a movo to adjourn tho
Sioux Falla convention until after the
Kansas City nomination to seo who the
democrats would nominate.
W. F. Jones favored nominating Samuel
M. Jones of Ohio for vice president. Ho
thought with Toledo's mayor on the ticket
Ohio and Michigan would bo lost to the re
publicans. "Nomlnato Uryan and Jones,"
he said, "and your campaign Is over." Tho
proposition to endorse Jones for the second
place on tho ticket was making rapid prog
ress when Albert Griffin declared that Jones,
was not eligible because he Is not a native-
-born citlien of tho United States, nnd this
ended tho talk In that direction.
"If you adjourn to Kansas City," Orlfflu
continued, "you will do nothing but what
tho democratic bosses tell you to do. The
populUt party Is In danger. If you be
come a tall to tho demo:ratlc kite this ycir
tho populist party Is gons forever."
Colonel J. J. Donaldson of Cbanute ad
vised the convention to tell Its delegates
to go to Hloiix Falls und adjourn the con
vention to Kansas City, "then," said ho,
"let them do the best they can, and may
God help them."
WICHITA. Kau., April 25. Allen O.
Myora of Ohio, responding to a toast at the
banquet of the Sunflower league ot Kansas,
following W. J. Bryan, created a aenaatton
by his utterances. Mr. Rryan did not finish
his spwh until 'after 1 'o'clock tHlt morn
Ing.
Myers drew n dark ploture. The country
was fast racing to uestrtfotlon, he s'-ld, and
Mark Hanna, Wllllnn? (KInley and Gnat

Thon. suddenly' tdr'ntrig toward Rryan,
the speaker exclaimed: "You .may be

Tho platform favors such legislation by
congress as will encourage and promote a
United States merchant marine.
Tho plank on trusts Is ns follows:
The republican party of Ohio stands
committed to legislative and executive
oDD3sltlon to the threatening combinations
of capltnl that seek to' restrict competition
and still" tntiepeniiem producers; we invito
within our noruers tne capitalistic .Invest

Tho work of 'tho Indiana delegation In con

pronounced to the memories of Vleo Presi
dent Ghrret A. Hobarf, Major Henry W.
Lnwton and Colonel Richard W. Thompson.
Tho platform continues:
Tho conflict' with Spain was begun and
rnrrled on from humane and disinterested
motives. Thu possession of the Islands,
which came to our hunds ns a result of that
war, was a consequence of It not foreseen,
but which could not be avoided with honor
and surety. We, onnnot escape the re
sponsibility resting1 upon us. Our first duty
Is fo establish the nuthorltv of the United
States against armed resistance; then to
roplnco military by civil administration.
Tho guiding principle of our conduct In
denllnc with the people of those islands
should be' to promote their highest welfaro
and we pledge the largest possible freedom
of control In their affairs, as their abllltv
for self-government rhnll be developed, nnd
to use all proper menus to advance their
civilization and enlightenment.
AdmlnlNtrntlon Kndorard.
We unhesitatingly; endorse nnd approve

to our newly acquired possessions and ex
press full conlldenco In the wisdom, In

supported ty a republican congress, to deal
wisely nnd justly with the questions con
corning the same, ns they may arise.
Jjove Inter.est rates aro potent factors In
the extension of American commerce and
Industry, nt homo and abroad. The wis
financial legislation of tho republican party
hus largely secured 'these results. Tho"

ing eiustiony tn,our nans; currency for tho
Keneflfof otiTYYrroducers. the laborer, the

Combinations of capital having ns their
object or effect tho control of tho produc
tion of commodities, or the markets thereof,
are hurtful and; injurious to the best In
terests of tho. people. This evil should be
overthrown without Injury to' honest trade.
We1, therefore, 'fnVof such nddltldnnl legisla

establish complete legal control over ail
trusts and monopolies, with full power to
dissolve the sarrle, nnd mete proper ptlnlsh
ment to all 'who thus seek to -destroy
honest competition nnd prevent tho widest
posslblo employment to labor.
Reciprocity ahd protection to American
labor, ns exemplified In tho Dlngley law, nre
reaffirmed. Jus( and liberal pensions to all
deserving soldiers and sailors are endorsed:
the early construction, of the NIcaraguan
canal under .tho direction and exclusive con
trol of tho United States govornment Is
favored; tho enactment and enforcement of
laws restricting and preventing tho Importa
tion of such undesirable foreign population

endorsed.
Tho platform concludes:
s.The Insurrection of Aguinaldn Is kppt
alive by tho hope of democratic success
based on tho false cry of "Imperialism."
Wo condemn this unpatriotic policy as be

WASHINGTON, April 23. The houso to.
day put its heel upon the pneutaatlc mall
tube service now In operation In New York,
Roston and Philadelphia, and If its action
stands, tho whole service will bo crushed
out.
Tho postofllce committee had recom
mended an Increase of tho appropriation
for this service. Tho proposed Increase was
attacked by the appropriation committee
under the leadership of Moody of Matsachu
sctls with such vigor and success that In
the end tho house voted, 87 to 6u, to strike
the entlro appropriation from tho bill.
Moody created a sensation by the- manner
In which he assailed Uie methods of the
!'"cuma!!c ' c ,and ,lho
cnarge tnnt former member of congress
who was ft member of tho appropriations

Ho declined to disclose the gentleman's
name. He added lo tho scandal bv chare-
Ing that a block of tho stock had been
sent ns a New Yenr's gift to a near relative
of another member of congrem, but to the
credit of tho member, he eald, tho dishonor
ing gift hnd been returned to the sender
by the next mall.
Although the tube service was highly com
mended by other members, these revelations
transformed tho sentiment ot the house,
which has several times voted for the tubo
service, into a decisive majority against Us
continuation In any form.
Tawney of Minnesota offered as an amend,
ment a bill to reclassify railway mall clerks,
but It went out on a point or order.
IlnU n .tllltlon Increase Wnnteil,
Tho item appropriating $725,000 for pneu
matic tubo service, nn Increase of $500,000
oyer the appropriation for the current year,
was the subject of two hours' debate under
tho arrangement previously made.
Little of Arkansas opposed the pneumatic
tube service, which he held was unneces
sary aad ot no material benefit in expedit
ing the malls. Tho charges for the service
In New York, ho said, wero outrageously
exorbitant, Th government was paying
$37,000 a mllo rcntnl for six-Inch Iron pipe
besides the ccst of operating tho machines.
Using this item as a text, Moody made an
urgent plea for retrenchment in public ex
penditures. Kvery branch of the public
service, he said, was asking for Its share ot
the enormous rovenues which were being
collected.
Proceeding, Moody assailed the whole
nistory or tho pneumatic tubo rervlce. "It
Is so malodorous from beginning to end."
said he, "that it should die the death of a
dog."
"Smoke the rascals out," cried Little, "and
we on this sldo of the house will stay with
you."

Moody said It was not a pleasant thing
for Jjlm to exploit tho scandal which had
been uncovered by the postal commission of
which ho was a member, but he considered
it his duty to do so. Ho declared that

could not Imagine. These facts, he said,
had been brought out by the commission.
John E. MUlholland of New York, ho said,
was tho president of tho tube company.
Moody's next statement startled tho houss
and created a sensation; Tho tube sorvlcc,
ho said,- had been constructed by contrncto-s
who tcok their pay In stock and - bonds.
The only asset of the company wns Its con
tract with' tho government.
"I regret to say," continued Moody de
liberately, "that ono of the principal holders
of these stocks and bonds was a member rf
this house and a member cf tho committee
on appropriations."
"Givo his name,'' shouted Livingston of
Georgia.

"I will not," replied Moody. Then he
added another sensational statement to the
effect that a large block ot the stock had
been sent to a near relative of a prominent
njember of rho house as a Npw Year's gift.
"But I am proud to say," said Moody,
"that tho return mall carrlod back that
dlchonorlng and dishonorable gift."
When the applause that greeted this state
ment bad died out Mcody appealed to tho
house not to endorse "this ssrt of a trans
action." Moody disclaimed any Intention of reflect
ing on the postofllce committee, which he
highly commended. He was especially glow
ing In praise ot Loud, chairman of the com
mittee. Moody said ha had been appealed
to by commercial bodies of Boston to aid In
the extension ot this sorvlre, but he re-
fused to close his eyes to his duty In this j directly, with Mr. Clark: and If hr had,
mnttor. He charged that companies in all tbeirci was no connection between tho elet
the large cities Of tho country wero prepar- j tlon In January and the supremo rour
Ing to raid congress in bohalf of further
extension of the tubo service.
Roberts of Massachusetts, Bingham of
Pennsylvania and Cummtngs of New York
all warmly supported the extension ot tho
pneumatic tube fervlc, condemning the
methods denouncod by Moody, but saying

debate today tho senato agreed to tho con
forenco report cn tho Hawaiian civil govern
ment bill, the provisions relating to tho
right of franchises nnd Imprisonment for
debt having been amended to conform to
tho ldcis of the sonate.
Tho agricultural appropriation bill was
passed, carrying a llttlo over $3,000,000. The
Alaska civil government bill was under
consideration for nn hour, but no progress
wns made. Mr. Piatt ot New York moved
Into Mr. Quay's old seat.
A joint resolution authorizing the ex
hibit of govoniment relics at the New York

A resolution offered by Tillman wns
adopted, calling upon tho secretary of the

each public building already erected or now
In course ot construction, with tho cost of
tho slto lu each case.
Consideration wns then begun of the agri
cultural appropriation bill. As reported to

mittee nraendtnetit reducing tho amount of
tho appropriation for "printing, illustration,
publication, Indexing nnd distributing docu
ments, bulletins and reports" from $103,000
to $S5,000 was withdrawn, strong opposition

Minority Committee File Its Report
In ( Inrk Case.
WASHINGTON, April 23. The minority
of tho members of the senate committee
on privileges and elections, cons'stlng of
Senators Pottua and Harris, who do not ac
cept all tho views of the majority of tho
committee In tho case cf Senator Clark of
Montana, today presented their dissenting
opinion In the case. The report begins
with this ptatement:
"We agreed and aro still agreed to the
resolution adopted by the committee Itself.
But tho report Is merely the writing of
tho chairman with tho aid of one other mem
ber nnd never was submitted to any meeting
of tho committee nnd thercfofo cannot be
considered as the words qf the committee."
They then proceed to state their roasona
for dls?nt, which are based, they say, upon
. . .... . 1 . 1 HAMmf.tAA AA ni( ...
-lho Drulnory rllc8 cf evidence, but
hearsay evidence In great volumes.
They state their reasons for consenting
to the statement In the majority report that
the friends cf Senator Clark "Illegally and
Improperly used large amounts of money
and thereby caused the election und. that
this election lo not valid, hut under the law
of tho land Is void."
They tbe-n enter upon a review of the
present conditions In Montana. Referring
to the lnltlatlvo meeting of tho Clark men
nnd tho attendance of A. J. Campbell, ni
this -conference and his later oleotion to
congrces, Pettus and Harris remark: "So, to
tho extent named Mr. Campbell got the
benefit of that private meeting, of which
ho was a momber. and tho benefit of the
money sent out by tho committee to tho
executive committees In various countlen
Mr. Campbell waa a well known opponent
of thi 'Daly faction prior to and In 1808.' "
Taking up cx-Stato Senator Whlttsldn
they say:
"The eividenco tends to show that White
side was unfriendly to Mr. W. A. Clark
and that he made a threat to 'explode n
bomb" if Clark becamo a candidate for the
senate, and that about the same day Marcus
Daly In New York made a threat to run
W. A. Clark nnd hla family out of Mon
tana," They pronounce the testimony connecting
tho Montana supreme court with the cauo
as irralevant nnd say: "This transaction
occurred, so far an wo are Informed, six or
seven months after the senatorial eleutio'i.
No fact proved connects Mr. Clark with
any part of that transaction. Dr. Tracy
had no sort of connection, directly or In
Judges In tho fall of thnt year. All tlio
evidence wss nothing more than what may
be called 'coloring matter.' And It was
admitted against the protest of the senator
from Maryland and others and In the con
duct of this caso much other mere 'color
ing matter' was received as evidence."
