W/'-j / iS~ t^p^- ^igr I BR1IIMD STEViSOI IK STANDARD Kffl&l I I A STONG PLATFOQM ADOPTED. During the Reading of Which by Senator Tillman the Convention Grows Wild With Enthusiasm. Mr. Tillman now stepped to the front and was greeted with a cheer. He read the platform in a full round i voice, easily heard throughout the j hall. As he proceeded c-ach plaLk was greeted with applause. The Senator accompanied his reading with emphatic gestures, striding up and down the platform, turning thn way and that, after his manner in the Senate. There was a howl of approval as he clenched his fist and fiercely arraigned the course of the administration in Cuba. But it re maiued for his reading of the deilaration that 'imperialism is the paramount issue of this campaign" lo evoke a storm of applause. The delegates SPRANG TO THEIR FEET, standing on their chairs, waving aats, handkerchiefs, umbrellas, fligs while the galleries took up tbp jhorus aDd carried it aloDg for many ninutes. Senator Hill could be seen xiarshhliDg the hosts to cheer. He j leld a fan high above his head and i idaed his voice to the shouting. A ; second time Senator T:llcnan read I his declaration, and now even a J 1 greater demonstration than before i carried the convention off its feet Suddenly hundreds, then thousands )f minature American flags were | Das6ed among the delegates and the whole floor of the vai-t structure be- 1 ;ame a sea of fl?gs. An instant ater the flags swept ever the ga!eries like a mass of flame. Bundles )f them were tos6ed upon the seats md distributed. The scene was nagnificently inspiring and the great ludience was worked up to a fever oeat. Oj each flag was the device: The constitution and the fl*g are nseparable, now and forever. The lag of the republic forever; of the :mpire, never." 1 While the demonstration was at < ts height, the band sent another i ;hrill through the audience by playrng "Dixie" and a medley of patriotic i iirs. State standards were again ;orn from their sockets, banners were aised and a TRIUMPHAL PROCESSION )f the delegates marched about the oall. Now the strains of the band i :urned to "My Country, 'Tis of rhee," at which the entire audience, is with a single voice, joined in a nighty and swelling chorus. Amid he following of flags could be seen i tall standard bearing the inscrip:iot.: "Forcible annexation would be criminal aggression."?William VI<-Kinley. It was at this juncture that the flimsx was sprung upon the great assembly. A huge flag had been j fluDg across the roof between two j trusses, and as the signal was given ! the cords were cut and slowly it un- | rolled its white and crimson folds as j it fell gracefully and swung over the j platform slightly to the rear and south of the speaker's desk. The banner was an enormous affair, being j fully 50 feet long and about one- | half as wide. Upon the whi e j stripes were the printed sentences in large letters of blue "C'oDstitu- j tiooal governments derive their just powers from the couseut of toe governed." "The constitution and the flag, oDe and inseparable, now and forever." "The flag of anpublic forever; of a a ciuuiic, uc i , j ' A republic can have no colonies.'' i To the vast majority of those in | the hall the fl?g was an unexpected incident, and its appearance was ttie signal for a FRANTIC -R AR, which caused everything that had gone before it to sink iL t > insigu fi cance. For full two minutes the ; cords of the ig caught and would ; not permit it to fall to its full length. : It was caught up just enough to 3* I! ? 1020 MAIN 1ST." s!pf Solicits a S ?1 r~ U u prtViUt the convention lroin reading the inscriptions upon the banner, and until they were released and the banner twun * free, the enthusiasm increased every second. WheD finally every word was visible there was a clitnax of cheers that was deafening. Senator Tillman stood surveying the storm and awaitiDg an opportunity to proceed. The chairman pjunded his gavel and appealed for order. But the march of the delegates bearing their standards and banners, ran on uninterruptedly for 22 minutes. As Senator Tillman was about to resume, he remarked that the thread ~e i :. a: u. a Ui l: is uieuuuipc u.iu uccu ul uotu and that down South they were in the habit cf saying "Hell has broken loose in Georgia " "And," said the Senator vociferously, "if Mark Hanna had been here a few minutes ago he would have thought 'hell has broken loose in Missouri.' " There were cries of "good, good," when the trust plank was read. When the Senator reached the reaffirmation of the Chicago platform, with the declaration for free silver coinage at a ratio of 16 to 1, PANDEMONIUM AGAIN broke loose. But the demonstration was faint in comparision to what had just occurred when imperialism was announced as the "paramount issue." Mmy of the delegates stood on their i chairs and waved fhgs and cheered, but a very considerable number? more than hulf?held their seats, j Senator Hill was amoDg those who' maintained quiet, while Mr. Croker waved a flag until it broke, and Gooige Fted Williams led the Massachusetts contingent in salvos of cheers. One of the New York dele-1 ^ates raised a standard bearing the! inscription: ' Don't think there are no 16 to l'ers m New York " The dtmoLstration lasted four and one-half minutes. INTENSE SCORN. There was intense scorn in the Senator's voice as he read the plat-. form arraignment of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, evoking mingled laughter and applause. The Boer p^acik brought another cheer and the Sena tor received a round of applause asj he closed. AD PTED BY ACCLAMATI N. When the applause had subsided Chairman Jones of the platform committee, said he had been in-; structed to move that the platform be adopted by the convention by; acclamation. The motion was put and amid a roar of cheers the platform was, adopted without a word of dissent, j The announcement of Chairman Richardson of the adoption of the platform, was followed by a stunning shout which made the buildiDg ring from one end to the other. Then followed a stirring and dramatic | scene. A plank in the platform denouncing policy toward the Boers had called out immense applause. i If a Woman jj wants to put out a fire she doesn't J) heap on oil and wood.

B:ief Statement of the True State o Affairs--Unvve!ccme MissionariesOutraged by Railroad Engineers. The anti-foreign movement in China, or uprieiDg of the "Bjxerb'as they 8tg called, has assumed proportions which justify the belief that China and Europe are to day facing a graver crisis than Rome did when Attila appeared before her gates. There are two phases of the situation in relation to its effect upon the world at large, and there are at least two prime causes of the outbreak. First of these, are the missionaries It is undoubtedly true that these people, no matter how well meant their intention, are most unwelcome in China. It is an interesting fact that Chiistiatity finds rather barren soil amorg the dark skinned races, and that the Chtistian religion has never flourished, and exists only as an exotic east of line drawn north and soutti througn to Jerusalem, wnen in this country some time ago, Li HuDg Cbang the ''Grand Old Man of China," spoke often of the missionary question and it is remembered he said it must sooner or later cause seiious trouble. He oDce asked whether it weie possible for th.^ European powers to arrive at an agreement to forbid missionaries to go to China. He used to say that the Chinese did not so much object to Caristianity as the sleek, well paid, supercilious foreigners" who were sent to China to teach and preach. The average missionary, said the old Viceroy, iovaiinbly j irred on the nerves of the Chinese, and he thought it would be immeostly to the benefit of all concerned if the missionary wo?k were confined to natives, of wh im there were plenty to carry on the work, if it mu&t be carried on, which he did not by any means admit. This is by no means the popular view of the question, but it is nevertheless the impartial and unpreju diced statement of the situation. The labor element aDd the politicians in this country have practically denied the Chinese admission to the United States, and have mobbed and murdered them upon slight provocation. Yet we demand that thev ac cept cur missionaries whether they are wanted or not. In the Shantung province, Belgian and German capitalists are constructing a railroad and riots have occurred there and foreign engineers have been assassinated. While 10 01 e can justify these cowardly measures of revenge, it must be admitted that these people have extraordinary provocation, for the railroad people in the ShaDgtung province have treated the natives in a most abominable manner and have provoked the riots of which they now ccmplaiD. This portion of China is ODe of the most densely popuiatcd sections of the earth, and the people have a struggle for existence. Every inch of ground is cultivated: every straw and every sprig of vrgetation is utilized in some way for the support of life. The country is divided into little fairns which are cultivated almost with a microscope, one might say, because io v>onacearf f, >v i ll o c 11 K..1 = f fr OP nf I \J I Z> LCltCOOl 1^/i IUV vuvv w* some family, vid the dead are buried in the gravel hilla where nothing can grow. Through this country and under these conditions railways are being constructed by the German and Belgian engineers, wLo shew a most brutal ind.fference to the rights and the people. They run their lines across the farm?, they tear down bouses, burn villages, destroy crops, seizi supplies, impress labor and treat the people in a most cruel and arbitrary manner. If the same tbiDgs should occur iu the United S atcs or Europe or in any other port of the woild they would be attended by the same tesulis. The Boxers were organized to resist and revenge rhese outrage?, and they use theoDly means within their power to punish their oppressors. A Chinaman never j;ets any sjmpaiby either in America o* elsewhere, and the consciousness of that fact compels him to carry on his operations with a3 g?eat a secrecy as possible. So much for the causes of the outbreak agRinst the foreign devils. Now what will be the outcome? If a policy of dismemberment is attempted, as is favor'd in certain rX1-- - % ' /cwuer i*?n quarter?, a general European war may result, and will undoubtedly i cn/Mrnvcj /-.f T1 nnltiliH I tui li IUC ^icat u tio ^ Russia, Germany and France do rot agree as to how tLe empire shad be partitioned among them. 1 The Uaited States should staLd 1 firm against the dismembermcLt of Caina. For woe be the day v.htn the vast horde of almon-eyed Mongc' | lian shall escape sdJ overrun the world like a plague of rats. L <Dg ages of privation and the cruel law of the survival cf the fittest have i through thousands of years developed a race of people of incomparably greater endurance than any other.
