by the officials in the report The Chinese ministers dispatch was ominously on the general situation Al though he expressed his confidence in the non existonco of a state of war it is yenerutty admitted that it will be diffi cult to accept his conclusion if it shall transpire that the Peking government itself has seut the ministers away with their passports or what may como to the same thing

this one question Upon this platform it is probable that either Rev S C Swallow the fight ing parson of Ilnrrisburg Pa or John G Woolloy of Chicago editor of The New Voico tho Prohibition na tional organ will bo nominated for president Tho national convention of tho Pro hibition party opened hero yesterday and in three sessions morning after noon nnd evening cleared up all busi ness except tho nominations for presi dent and vice president whicli will be made today Tho convention in points of numbers and uiitlimiaiiii shown is considered one of tho greatest held by the advocates of cold water Thirty seven states of tho Union were repre sented when Chairman Oliver Stewart of tho national committee called tho convention to order at tho First Regi ment armory nearly 000 delegates bo ing present while scores of others aro expected today The platform as adopted by tho con vention bears solely upon tho question of tho suppression of tho liquor traffic In connection with this however tho administration and President McKinley in particular are bitterly arraigned for the position taken on tho anti canteen law the action on this being denounced us treasonable The plank is as follows The lrenloVlit Arrnlcned Wo charge upon President McKin ley who was elected to his high offico by appeals to Christian sentiment and patriotism almiut unprecedented and by a combination of moral influences never before seen in this country that by his couspieuons example as a wine drinker at public banquets and ns a wino serving host in tho white house ho has done more to encourage tho liq uor business to demoralize tho temper ance habits of young men and to bring Christian practices and requirements into disrepute than any other president this republic has had We further charge upon President McKinley re sponsibility for tho army canteen with all its diro brood of disease immorality sin and death in this country in Cuba in Porto Rico and in tho Philippines and wo insist that by his attitude concerning tho canteen and by his ap parent contempt for tho vast number of petitions anil petitioners protesting against it ho has ontraged and insulted tho moral sentiment of this country in such u manner and to such a degree as calls for its righteous uprising and his in dignant and effective rebuke We challenge denial of tho fuct that our ex ecutive as commander-in-chief of tho military forces of tho United States at any time prior to or since March 2 1800 could havo closed every army saloon called a canteen by executive order as President Hayes did beforo him and should have closed them for tho same reasons which actuated President Hayes wo assert that tho act of con gress passed March 2 1000 forbidding the sale of liquors in any post exchange or canteen was and is as explicit an act of prohibition as tho English lan guago can frame wo declare our Bolemn belief that tho attorney general of tho United States in his inter pretation of that law and the secretary of war in his acceptance of that interpretation and his refusal to enforce tho law were and aro guilty of treasonable nullification thereof and that President McKinley through his assent to nnd indorsement of such in terpretation aud indorsement on tho part of tho officials as appointed by and responsible to him shares responsibility in their guilt und wo record our con viction that a now and serious peril confronts our country iu the fact thut its president at tho behest of the beer power dares aud does abrogate a law iu congress through subordinates whoso acts become his and thus virtually con fesses that laws aro to be administered or to be nullified iu tho interest of a law defying business by an administra tion under mortgage to such business for support We deploro tho fact thut an admin istration of this republio claiming the right aud power to carry our flag across the seas and to conquer aud annex new territory should admit its lack of power to prohibit tho American saloon on sub jugated soil or should openly confess itself subjoct to liquor society under that flag We are humiliated exasper ated and grieved by the evidence pain fully abundant that this administra tions policy of expansion is bearing so rapidly its fruits of drunkenness in sanity uud crime under tho hot house sun of tho tropics and when the presi dent of tho first Philippine commission says it was unfortunate that wo intro duced aud established the saloons thero to corrupt the natives uud to exhibit tho vices of our race Wo chargo tho in humanity and uuchristiunity of this act upou the administration of Willia n McKiuloy uud upou tho party which elected aud would perpetuate the same We submit that tho Democratic aud Republican parties are alike insincere iu the assumed polioy to trusts and mo nopolies They dare not and do not at tack tho most dangerous of them all the lintior tmwrr So lonirns tint milium debauches the citizen and bleeds the Im ciiiiMiuiK voicr money win i

The advocates of women suffrage were particularly emphatic in demand ing a suffrage plank but after a session lasting for several hours- tho matter was compromised by reporting a separate resolution
