IT WILL STAND FOR M'KINLEY
Platform to lie Submitted to the Lin
coln Convention Una Keen
Drafted.
Ah tho representative of the Douglas
county delegation on tho resolutions com
mittee, Hon, John L. Webster has made a
draft of tho platform whloh will bo submit
ted to tho committee at tho republican state
convention which meets at Lincoln Wednca
day. This enunciation of principles lays'
emphasis upon tho prosperity of the country j
brought about under a republican admlnls
tratlon, and contalna an-unequivocal en
dorsement of President McKlnley aa a presi
dent who has dealt successfully with new
conditions and has guided tho ship of stato
with security through untried channels.
Concerning his draft of the resolutions,
Mr. Webster said: Vltils only a rough out
line as yet, and I may doclda to make several
material alterations in it before it Is sub
mitted. However, I may say that tho plat
form as it leaves my hands will contain the
following features:
"It will endorse the tariff and financial
legislation by a republican congress, and
particularly tho establishment of tbe gold
standard on a firm basis.
'It will eay that, while we arc not In
favor of imperialism' "or militarism, we aro
not unwilling to accept the legitimate results
of honorable warfare. It will pledge! tho
party to the strengthening of national de
fenses, enlargement of markets and exten
sion of commerco. It will state the un
equivocal opposition of tho party to trusts
and combinations having for their purpose
the stifling of competition or arbitrary con
trol of products or tho fixing of prices, while
recognizing tho benefits of legitimate bust
ncse, fairly capitalized and honestly man
aged.
"With reference to state issues, It will
favor tho reapportionment of congressional
and legislative districts, based on the census
of 1900, fair to all sections of tho state. It
will favor municipal home rule, constitu
tional revision, protection of home Insurance
associations, and will welcome tho return
to tho party of all former members estranged
by tho unkept pledges of tho opposition."
Somo of the delegates from Douglas
county left yesterday for Lincoln, to bo fol
lowed by others today, though most of
tho delegation will not go down until Wednes
day morning. The railroads having made a
one-faro rate a largo crowd of enthusiastic
republicans not delegates Is also expected
attend the state convention to see that
the ticket is properly launched.
WILL NOT FOLLOW MINNESOTA
NcbrniikR Silver neuaulleann Do Not
Favor a Change of Name (or
the Tarty,
Tho sliver republicans havo decided not
to enjoy tho hospitalities of either of tho
local democratic clubs on their trip to tho
national convention July 4, but have en
gaged a train of tholr own. They will go
over tho Burlington, leaving Omaha July 3
In three special Pullman coaches 'and going
by tho way of Lincoln, where 'two moro
coachos will be added.
It Is probable that tho silver republicans
of Nebraska will not follow the example of
the Minnesota silver republicans In chang
ing the name of their party. In spllo of the
impulse manifested bg tbe fusion parties
to break away from tho coinage question as
tho leading Issue, which Is felt to somo de
grcM In Nebraska, tbe members of tbe silver
republican party In this stats will, It Is
said by a leading Omaha silver republican,
cling to their old party name', chiefly because
they are afraid a change to Abraham Lin
coln republicans might endanger their legal
standing as a party IrNcbraska. Under thilr
old name they have received recognition In
tho statutes and can claim certain priv
ileges which might bo denied t o a party com
ing into tbe political arena under an alias.
However, it Is doomed probable hero that
an effort may be made at the national con
vention to effect a change In the party name,
but such a proposition is pretty sure to
meet with tho opposition of the Nebraska
representativesj

"Would you consider It right?" asked Mr.
Robertson, "that federal troops forco men at
tho point of tho bayonet to protect tho prop
erty of tho mine owners and that similar
protection be withhold from tho men?"
"I would uso Just as much power and Just
as much Influence," replied General Mer
rlam, "to have mine owners observe their
obligations as to compel the mlno men to ob
serve theirs."
Concerning the pormlt proclamation Gen
eral M err I am said ho had suggested to Bart

tain features that should be embodied In the
proclamation. These were adopted by Mr.
Sinclair.
When Mr. Robertson sought to show that
the War department had not been suffi
ciently advised' as to tho permit system Gen
eral Merriam said that was for tho War de
partment to determine.
Tho witness was asked If the dispatches of
Secretary Alger did not in effect say: "Let
the permit system alone." General Merriam
said ho had not Interfered in this systom or
tho labor affairs In any way except for the
purpose of maintaining cnlr.
General Morrlam was questioned as to an
Interview reprceentlng that at a meeting of
the citizens in the Coeur d'Alene he stated
that congress should pass a law to deal with
unions as criminal organizations. Ho said
ho was glad of tho opportunity to correct
the errors of this alleged Intorvlow. Ho had
not, hj said, mentioned congress, nor did
tho Interview so state, although an errone
ous Interpretation of this character had
arisen. Ho stated that what ho had said at
that meeting was in substance: "You
ought to havo a conspiracy law which makes
tho action of thoso people as narrated by
Mr. Sovorelgn In his paper crimes punish
able by law." Ho also stated that tho remedy
for tho trouble was In the state.
He was perfectly positive, he said, that
ho had not stultified himself by telling these
gentlemen that the romedy wns In tho state
and at the samo time that it was with con
gress. "Did not Mr. Gompcrs at Denver charge
you with making the statement?" asked
Mr. Robertson.
"I never saw Mr. Gompcrs In my life,"
answered Qeneral Merriam.
'Mr. Robertson stated that in an addross
at Denver Mr. Gompers had made a charge
of this character.
General Merriam said he had repeatedly
stated that he never pronounced the unions
of tha Coeur d'Alene district criminal or
ganizations. General Morrlam completed his testimony
during the afternoon and waa excused.

MARINETTE, Wis., April 30. Forest fires
raged furiously north of Fisher, Mich.,
along tho right-of-way of tho Wisconsin
& Michigan railway Saturday and Sun
day. The property damage will be large.
The town of Ames, Mich., was practically
wiped out, entailing a loss of $30,000 or
moro. Considerable cedar stock at Nathan,
Mich., was also destroyed.
Tho Wisconsin & Michigan ran a special
train up tho lino Sunday to rescue the fire
stricken pcoplo in the small villages along
the road. All tho Inhabitants of tho towns
of Ames nnd Nathan wero taken to Pem
bina for safety.
It Is said tbe Wisconsin & Michigan
paeBengcr which loft hero last night was j
unable to get further north than Fisher 1
At tho latter place only a heroic resistance '
saved tho town.
Forest fires ore burning everywhere north '
of here and further damage will result tin-
lueo lutiiu in inula ui; luuuit; 19 ILI Ul
and the Arcs spread rapidly.
Flrcn aro said to be burning along tho
right-of-way of the Milwaukee road north
of Ellis Junction.
Further reports are to the effect that tho
foreet flreo are spreading and great concern
Is felt for all towns north. Nothing definite
la known concerning tho towns along the
Wisconsin ft Michigan road, but the danger
to all of them Is Increasing. A report from
Ellis Junction says tbe fires are spreading.

At tho Flr6t Congregational church last
night a fair audience greeted Mr. and Mrs,
Horbert Butler with enthusiastic welcome
and earnest sincerity. It was to be ex
pected that tho church would bavo been
full to overflowing, but so short are the
memories of many people thero was an
absence, very noticeable, of many who had
availed themselves of tho delights of free
recitals. Mr. Butler should feel proud,
hownver, to consider that he alone called
forth more of the leading musicians, pro
fessional executants, etc., than any musical
event which has taken place In recent yenrs.
Herbert Butler presented last night a
program such as Is seldom played In tho
provinces. It was such an assortment nt
great works as ono might expect in some
of the great European concert chambers, i
His playing was Imbued with Are, unction,
temperament and good taste. His bowing
defied criticism (In the literal meaning of
the word), and his technique was colossal.
What a tremendous Interpretation the man
has! And tho development of his senti
ment Is an Interesting psychological study.
Herbert Butler stands todny as a violinist
of the first rank, and a living personifica
tion of the development of genius through
the straight and narrow way. tho only
avenue hard work.
To enumerato In detail the numbers playeJ
and sang would .be superfluous, but per
haps the Cbconne of Bach, for violin alone,
was the "piece do resistance." Tho markod
change In tbo singing of Mrs. Butler wan
a gratification to her friends and a delight
to her auditors. Her voice is well poised,
truo in intonation, almost Invariably, and
dulcet In the upper quality. It strikes one
as being remarkably oven and smooth and
well controlled Mrs. Butler's coloraturo
work Is excellent.
Of Howard Wells, the pianist and accom
panist, much could bo said. Ills accom
paniments wero gems of sympathetic self
abnegation. His solo work was artistic and
sufficiently muslclanly. In tho romantic
numbers ho was especially good.
Mr. Butler played his wife's accompani
ments with grace
