Following is the Populist platform, as agreed upon by the committee on resolutions and adopted by the St. Louis convention: I The Peoplo's Party, assembled in na- tional oonventiou, reattiruis its allogi i anoe to the prinoiplos declared by the founders of the rtpublio, and also to the fundamental principles of just gov ernment as enunciated in the platform of the party in 181)2. We reoognize that, through tbo connivance of the present and preceding administrations, the country has reached a crisis in its national life, as predicted in our dec laration fonr years ago, and that prompt and patriotic action is the su preme duty of the hour. We realize that, while we have political independ' ence, our financial and industrial in dependence is yet to be obtained by re storing to our country the constitution' the national and state legislation shall be such as will ultiuiatoly enable every prudent and industrious oitizen to secure a borne, aud therefore the land should not be monopolized for speculative purposes.

The Texas delegates headed the opposition and olung to th6 middle of the road to the last. The Populist Bryan managers deoid e,d early Saturday to disregard Mr Bryan's telegram of Friday and ti nominate him and straighten out the tangle afterwards. They started oul to rush his nomination through before any other candidate could be put in the field. General Weaver, of Iowa, the Popu list oandidate in 18'92, in a masterly address, placed Bryan in nomination, and Goneral Field, of Virginia, whe was formerly Weaver's running mate, after a brief speech, moved to make the nomination unanimous. About fifty seconding speeches were then made, and some of them were both eloquent and brilliant. The middle-of-the-road contingenl insisted upon knowing at every oppor-1 tnnity whether, in view of his tele gram, Bryan wou'd stand on the plat- j form aud accept the nomination. Bui ; all these pointed questions were neatlj parried. Judge Green, of Nebraska,! and others, vouched for Bryan's sym- j ps thy with Populistio principles, but; that was all the satisfaction the radi cals could get. store the government intended by the fathers of the country, for the welfare and prosperity of this and future gen erations, we demand the establishment of an economic and financial system wnion snail make us masters oi our own affairs and independent of Eu ropean control by the adoption of the following declaration of principles Flnanee, First We demand a national money. safe and sound, issued by the general government only, without the interven tion of banks of issue, to be a full legal tender for all debts, public and private; a juBt, equitable and efficient means of distribution direct to the people and through the lawful disbursements of the government. Second We demand the free and unrestricted ooinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, and without waiting for the oonsent of foreign nations. Third We demand that the vol ume of circulating medium be speedily inoreased to an amount sufficient to meet the demands of the business and the population of this oountry, and to restore the just level of prices and la bor production. Fourth We denounoe the sale of bonds and the increase of the publio interest-bearing debt, made by the present administration, as unnecessary and without authority of law, and we demand that no more bonds be issued except by specifio action of congreBs- Fifth We demand such legislation as will prevent the demonetizing of the lawful money of the United States by private oontract. Sixth We demand that the govern' ment, in payment of its obligations, shall use its option as to the kind of lawful money in which they are to be paid, and we denounce the present and preceeding administrations for surren dering this option to the holders of government obligation securities. Seventh We demand a graduated income tax, to the end that aggregate wealth shall bear its just proportion of taxation, and we regard the recent de cision of the supreme court, relative to the income-tax law, as a misinterpreta tion of the constitution, an invasion of the rightful powers of ongress on the subject oi taxation. Eighth We demand that postal sav ings banks be established by the gov ernment for the safe deposit of the sav mat an ianas not now patented ooine under this domand. Direct Legislation. We favor a system of direot legisla- iton through the initiative and referen dum, under proper constitutional safe guards. General Propositions. First We demand the eleotion of president, vice-president and United States senators by direot vote of the people. Seoond We tender to the patriotio people of Cuba our deepest sympathy in their struggle for political freedom and independence, and we believe the time has come when the United States, The Seooud Day. The seoond day's session of the silver convention was given over to speeches and songs. No business of any im portance was transacted. The ladies were in evidence, and the assembly was addressed by Mrs. Helen Conger, of Indiana, who denounced the gold bug monopolists as-"Wall street plu tocrats" and "English bond sharks" and said the only salvation of the peo ple from serfdom was to declare for the free ooinage of silver. The Third Day. It was ten minutes to 11 o'olock when Chairman St John called the silver convention to order. G. W. Baker, of California, said that the the great republio of the world, should People's Party convention had appoint Cuba is, and of right free and independent recognize that ought to be, a state. Third We favor home rule in the territories and the Distriot of Colum bia, and the early admission of the ter ritories as states. Fourth All publio salaries should be made to correspond to the prioe of labor and its products. 1 lfth In times of great industrial depression, idle labor should be em ployed on publio works as far as practicable. Sixth The arbitrary course of the oourt in assuming to imprison oitizens for indirect contempt and ruling them by injunction should be prevented by proper legislation. Seventh We favor just pensions for every disabled Union soldier. Eighth Believing that the eleotion franchise and untrammeied ballot are essential to a government of, for and by the people, the People's party con demns the wholesale system of disfran chisement adopted in some of the states as unrepublioan and undemocratic, and we declare it to be the duty of the sev eral state legislatures to take suoh ao tion as will seoure a full and free and flir ballot and an honest oount. Ninth While the foregoing proposi tions constitute the platform whioh oui party stands upon and for the vindica tion of its organization will be main tained, we recognize that the great and pressing issue of the pending campaign upon which the presidential election will turn, is the finanoial question, and upon this great and specifio issue between the parties we oordially invite the aid and co-operation of all organi zations and citizens agreeing with us upon this vital question.

No business was transaoted during the day, the time being taken up in the rendering of silver speeches, poems and songs.

Saturday morning a motion was1 in I troduced and carried that the national committee be given plenary power u Transportation. First Transportation being a means of exchange and a publio necessity, the government should own and operate the railroads in the interest of the people on a nonpartisan basis, to the end that all may be accorded the same treatment in transportation, and that the tyranny of political power, now exercised by the great railroad corporations, which result in the impairment, if not the destruction of the political rights and personal liberty of the citizen may be destroyed. Such ownership is to be accomplished gradually in a manner consistent with sound publio policy. beoond Ihe interest of the United States in the publio highways built with publio moneys and the proceeds of extensive grants of land to the Pa cific railroads should never have been alienated, mortgaged or sold, but Carried Down the Side of a Mountain In Its Fall. Mexioo, July 27. A remarkable phenomenon at the mine of Carlos Reyes, in the state of Chihuahua, oc curred at 8 o'olock yesterday. A tee menduous explosion was heard and an enormous mass of burning matter waf seen to fall from the heavens, striking the side of the mountain and bringing with it in its course tntirn cliffs, and finally plunged 700 feet into the ground making a hole from which boiling water still issues. One of the most singular pebnomena observed whe the heavy rain falling from the sky immediately after the descent of the meteor. The people are very supersti tious, as this is one of the many reali zations of the prophecies of the vision- seeing girl of Tobasco. The same meteor destroyed the house of a miner killing his two children. The Platform. The demonetization of silver in 1878 enormously inoreased the demand for gold, enhancing the purchasing power and lowering all prices measured by that standard, and since that unjust and indispensable act. the prices of American products have fallen upon an average nearly 50 per oent, carrying down with them proportionately the money value of all other forms of prop erty. Suoh fall of prioes has destroyed the profits of legitimate industry, in juring the produoer for the benefit of the non-producer, increasing the bur den of the debtor, swelling the gains of the creditor, paralyzing the productive energies of the American people, rele gating to idleness vast numbers of willing workers, sending the shadows of despair into the home of the honest toiler, filling the land with tramps and paupers, and building up colossal for tunes at the money centers. In the effort to maintain the gold standard, the oountry has, within the last four years, in a time of profound peaoe and plenty, been loaded down with a 2G2,000,000 of additional interest-bearing debt, under suoh oir ounitsanc.es as to allow a syndicate of native and foreign bankers to realize a net profit of millions on a single deal.

Fired on an American 8hlp. The schooner Governor J. Y. Smith, Captain Patrick, frcm Gibrara, Cuba, to Wilmington, N. C, has arrived at quarantine, at Southport N. C. The schooner left Gibrara July 14. Two days later, while off the Cuban ooat in the neighborhood of NeuvitaB har bor, she passed a Spanish gunboat about a mile and a half away. The gunboat opened fire on the schooner, sending a solid shot over ber deck. The shell fell in the sea a quarter of a mile to starboard, doing no damage. Captain Patrick immediately ran up the American ensign and left the neighborhood as quickly as possible. He was not able to learn the name of the gunboat, which remained station ary, firing no more shots.
