THE MORNING OEEGON1AN, THURSDAYi JUNE 21, 1000. A SPLIT IN MONTANA TWO STATE COXVEXTIOXS HEXD RY THE DB3IOCRATS. Daly Faction 3Inilns Their Fight or W. A. Clarfc Conventions In Other States. BUTTD, Mont. June 20. There will be contesting delegations claiming admission 'com Montana at the Democratic National Convention in Kansas City. The Democratic State Convention "was called to meet here at noon- An hour be fore that time the state central committee met to make arrangements. The chair man of the committee, William M. Cock Till, is recognized as a Daly man. The friends of Senator Clark on the commit tee, including those who held proxies, were In the majority. Chairman Cockrlll rtfused to recognize the proxies, and ap pointed in the places of the absentees 'men. known to be favorable to Daly. John 6. Nelll. of Helena, a member of the com mittee, took the proxies and proposed to depose the chairman. The scene in the room at this time was very wild. A num ber of Deputy Sheriffs, under the lead ership of Under Sheriff Murphy, pushed through Into the room and attempted to eject the Clark people. For a while It looked like an Incipient riot. The Clark jjeople stood their ground, and finally withdrew, leaving the committee to at tend to its buslneiis". When this had been done. Chairman Cockrlll was deposed by the vote of the committee, and Nelll was elected In his place. Meanwhile, the delegates and hundreds of spectators had assembled at the Audi torium, which Cockrlll had selected ad the place of meeting. They found the doors barred and the place in charge of a num ber of Deputy Sheriffs and policemen, act ing under the direction of the Daly peo ple. After waiting vainly for an hour, they were lrformed that the convention would not be called to order until S o'clock. Before that time the ptate central com mittee had met, with its new chairman presiding, and had selected the Grand X3peTa-House as the regular place of meet ing for tho convent'on. The convention was called to order there shortly after S, end the Hon. E. C. Day. one of the men who voted for Clark, was made tempo rary chairman. He mado a short speech, stating that this was the first real Demo cratic convention that he had seen in Montana for years. After the appointment of the usual committees, the convention adjourned until 10 o'cloek tomorrow. The Daly people, representing nine coun Jtles three of them regular and the others contested met In the Auditorium at the HBame hour, 5 o'clock. Admission was by rtjeket. State Senator H. L. Myers, o'f jRavalll. one of the Democrallc members who voted again& Senator Clark in the llegislature, was made temporary chair man. After the appointment of the usual committees, the convention adjourned tintil 8 o'clock tonight. The Daly convention this evening elect ed Martin Maglnnis. W. M. Cockrlll,' Gov ernor Robert B. Smith, Paul A. Fusz, "W. S. Hartman and Dr. J. M. Fox, dele gates to the National convention. The platform denounces "in unmeasured terms the action of W. A, Clark, of Butte, in corrupting the late Legislature, in assail ing the integrity of the Supreme Court and attempting to debauch the people of the entire commdnwealth. as the colossal crime of the century." Senator Clark's resignation, after the report of the Sen ate committee, and his appointment by tho Acting Governor, is denounced as a disgrace to the state, a shame to the American Nation, and an Insult to the Senate. MINNESOTA DE3IOCRAIS. Instructed TheIrDeleKates to Snj.t port Towne. MINNEAPOLIS, June TO. The Demo cratic state convention today was one of the largest and most harmonious held by the party In this state for years. Charles A. Towne, of Duluth. Populist candidate lor Vice-President, was given the hearti est kind of Indorsement, and the dele gates to Kansas City were instructed to support him by their votes and bv every honorable means. On the floor of the con vention this resolution was adopted with out a dissenting vote. Tho platform reaffirms allegiance to the doctrine of free silver conage, at the ex isting legal ratio. On this plank there was some dissension In committee, one or two members suggesting it might be bet ter to have a financial plank. The resolu tions further declare against trusts, and demand that trust articles be placed upon the free list; express sympathy with the Boers; independence for Cuba; repeal of war taxes; favor postal savings banks; xavor an income tax, the election of "United States Senators by direct vote of the people, and the system of the initia tive and referendum. The present Na tional Administration Is denounced. The convention was. warm In its allegiance to "William Jennings Bryan and Governor John LInd. The following delegates-at-large -were elected: P. B. Winston. T. B. O'Brien. L. O. Rosing and C. A. Baldwin. TEXAS DEMOCRATS. State Convention "WranKlIna: Over Eipanlon Question. AUSTIN, Tex.. June 20. Contrary to ex pectation, the Democratic state conven tion, which met here at noon today, did not adjourn tonight nor have delegates been named to the National convention at Kansas City. Instead of transacting Its business with promptness, the convention was early thrown into an anti-expansion fight, which waged all afternoon and to night. The fight -was precipitated by an effort on the part of Congressman Bailey to have the convention indorse his anti expansion views. Mr. Bailey's political opponents and those favorable to Senator Chilton, his late opponent for the United 6tates Senate, vigorously fought such in dorsement, and as a result, the conven tion has been in a wrangle all day. Mr. iBailey's opponents submitted a minority report to frhe convention, favoring expan sion as against anti-expansion, and the debate will, in all probability, protract the deliberations of the convention over Thursday. There are a number of aspi rants for the position of the Kansas City delegation, and the result of 6lates that are being made tonight may give the 'anti-Bailey followers more strength than they could otherwise secure. A large ma jority of the convention is opposed to Im perialism. Florida. Democrat. JACKSONVILLE, Fls.. June 20. The Democratic stato convention today adopt ed a platform, tho main features of -which are indorsement of William ,T. Bryan for President, denunciation of-trusts, demand for repeal of the war tax, 30 to 1 ratio of coinage. Governmental control of corpor ations, especially railroads, direct vote for United States Senators, graduated income tax. and reduction of tariff to a revenue basis. On tho question of removal of the state government a plank in the platform calls for a primary election November 19. 1900, to decide whether a Constitutional amendment shall be submitted to the elec tors of the state. Kansas Prohibition 1st. TOPEKA. Kan.." June 20. The Prohibi tion state convention today nominated a. full state ticke. headed by Frank Holsln ger for Governor. An 1,'nKrallnnt Cnban ISdltor. HAVANA. June 20. A few days aso the Post pubHshed -what was meant to be an amus'.ns Item declaring the breath of Orban ladies pmelled of garlic Th"s caused considerable comment In Cuban, circles and today, a petition was present- ed to General Wood, requesting that the editor and proprietor of the Post be ex pelled from the island for having grossly sundered Cuban womanhood. General Wood has received several letters from various parts of the island requesting him to mete out to the offenders condign punishment. THEY ARE NOT WANTED. Irish Ex-Convicts, Fltzharrls and Mullet, Are Ordered Deported. WASHINGTON. June 20. Assistant Secretary Taylor today rendered a de cision adverse to the appeal of Jamcn Fltzharrls and Joseph Mullet, from the decision of the Immigration officials at New York, who held them for deporta tion on the ground that, having been convicted of felony in connection with the murder of Lord Cavendish and Thom as Henry Brice. In Phoenix Park, Dub lin, In 1SS2, they cannot be permitted to land in this country under our immigra tion laws. In concluding his opinion on which the decision Is based, the Solicitor of tho Treasury says: "I do not think the heinous crime bi which Fltzharrls and Mullet participated, and for which they were found guilty, can be Justly dignified as a political of fense and, therefore, discriminated from the ordinary crime of assassination and murder; and' I must advise you that, after careful consideration of this case, my opinion is: "Flret That the crime for which Fltz harrls and Mullet were convlcttd and sentenced wa& murder m the ordinary sense, and cannot be classed as a. political offense. "Second That Fitzharris, having only a conditional pardon, could no: have been admitted, even under the acts of 1S75 or 18S2. "-Third That Mullet, even If his pardon is full and unconditional, is excluded by the act of 1S9L and, "Fourth That the aetlon of the Board of Inspectors, denying a landing to these ImtmCsrarits on th ground that they had been convicted of felony, should be sus tained." The men will be deported oci the veerel sailing' next Saturday. AT THE nOTELS. THE ?Omt.tiXD. Frank Thlbault, Shoal-1 C W Nlbley. Baker Cy WAter Bar Miss Hebocca Xlbley.

Addlcks, of Dela ware, were In evidence, when Mr. Payne rnd of the victory of Addlcks over the Dupont faction In that state. The report read. Mr. Payne demanded the previous ouewtlon. Senator Sewell. on behalf' of Now Jcreey. and Mr. Martin, on behalf of Indiana, seconded th demand, No one demanded the flcor to debate the report, and It was put through with a whirl. The convention was evidently relieved at thli fjulck disposition of the contest, and signified Its approval with applause. Lodpre Ik Permtncnt Chairman. General Grosveror, of Ohio, chairman of the committee on permanent organiza tion, then presented the committee's re port. This report was also put through with a whirl. The chair announced a- a commutes to escort Senator Henry Cabot Lodge to the chair. Governor Shaw, of Iowa, and Governor Roosevelt of New York, A cheer went up, strong and lontr-con- tlnuea as this group cf name fell from the chairman's lips. Apparently Governor Roosevelt had not expected to be thus designated, and his face rhowtd signs of annoj-ance. With Governor Shaw, he stepped to Mr. Lodge's seat, and with the permanent chairman between them, they marched up to the platform. The cheers echoed continuously until Mr. Lodjre. af ter greeting Mr. Wolcott, turned to the audience and began his addrfss. (Chair man Lodge's address will be found in another column.) Mr. Lodge's voice f howed splendid car rying powder. His Teferenco to Hawaii and the presence of representatives of (Tiat new acquisition brought the delegates to their fee't in a lusty greeting to the Hawaiian."?, and when ho referred to the "Infamy" In Kentucky the delegates yelled their approval. Mr. Lodge's ref erences to the policy of the Government toward Cuba and the Philippines brought out frequent manifestations of approval, and his brilliant tribute to the American soldiers serving in the tropics was the signal for a hearty demonstration. Sena tor Lodge concluded at 1:37. ' Then Colonel Chllds. of Rhode Island. In a neat speech, presented a historic gavel, the mahogany from the capltol at Provi dence, the bronze from the ya-ht Colum bia, which defeated the .Shamrock at tne Internatloral yacht race last Fall. A young delegate from Kentucky. Mr. Langley, mounted the platform, and in an eloquent speech, presented another carved from a tree in the valley of the Big Sandy, beneath which General Gar field Is said to have knelt In prayer at the battle of Middle Creek. He conclud ed with the statement that he presented the gavel as a pledge of th continued devotion of Kentucky to the principles cf Republicanism and a hostage that the state would this Fall give Its electoral vote to McKInley and Roosevelt. I E. Olscn, of Minnesota, presented a table which had been used at the Re publican National conventions at Minne apolis and St, Louis.

Southern Kprc"entntloii. Ex-Senator Quay . was. recognized as the reading of the report was concluded, and was greeted enthusiastically as he stepped Into the middle aisle to offer an amendment to tho rules. This-embodied the proposition to reduc the rprcsenm inn from tho s-everal states Riving One r delegate for-each W-COO votes cost, with fou delegateK-at-large for each; 'state. Thcr wre calls for Mr. Quay to take the platform, but he shook his head, and sent to the clerk's desk, a lon3 statement, showing the effect of' the propoijed new rule. The famous "Poker Jack" McClure pro tested aga'nst the amendment, hut was ruled out of order. Senator Quay himself firnlly interrupted the reading, which was long, but ho could not be heard, nnd Sen ator Foraker suggested that he take the platform. The demand was lmmcdiato taken up by the vast aud'ence. and am!d cheers Colonel" Quay moved to the stage. For several minutes he could not pro ceed, owing to the demonstration. When order had been restored, Mr. Quay suggested, as the statement was long ana would be printed In the afternoon papers, that action upon hie proposition, which "only affected rules 1 and 12. be post poned until tomorrow, and that the re mainder of the report be adopted. He backed his suggestion with a motion. The motion raised a storm of protests. Delegates from all the Southern States were on their feet demanding recognition. Delegate McCall. of Tenners e. mounted a chair, and amid the plaudits of hl as sociates demanded tho right to be hearu before any action was taken upon the Quay amendment. John R. Lynch, a colored delegate from Mississippi stood on his chair and se cured recognition for a substitute to the Quay amendment. This recited that in any Ptate where the right to vote wir abridged because -ot race, color or pre vious condition of servitude the roprer centatlon in Congress should be reducea In proportion to the extent of .the dis franchisement. A point of order -was promptly made that the substitute was not germane, and Chairman Lodge eub taincd the point. At this point the ctnu'ention threatened to get Into a parliamentary tangle over the adoption of the rules and proposed amendments. Mr. Quay's motion finally prevailed that rules 1 and 12, with his amendment, go over till tomorrow, after which the other rules were agreed to without d'ssent. Reading: of the" Platform. "With thi3 out of the way. Senator Fan banks, of Indiana, chairman of the com mittee on resolutiora, was recognized. The Indiana Senator received a flattering reception as he moured the platform, but when he began to read the declara tion of principles scores of delegates and alternates got up and began filing out of the hall. The confusion became so great 'that Senator Fairbanks was unable to proeeed, and Senator Lodge was com pelled to corae forward and call for order. This Is a. matter of the most vital im portance," said he. "It is the enuncia tion of the principles upon which the Re publican parti Is to stand." This appeal had some effect. Many of the delegates returned to their seats, but the- thousands who remained to hear Senator Fairbanks grew restless, and many left the hall. While the hum of conversation con tinued, interest in the document manifest ly Increased as the reading proceeded. Senator Fairbanks- made a strenuous ef fort to make himself heard. Senator Ue pew, wanting: a bite to eat, went in search, of It. As he worked his way through the throngs which surrounded the delegates on all sides, he was recog nized and greeted by a storm of cheers. So distinct was the Interruption that Chairman Lodge was compelled to appeal to the spectators In order that the busi ness of the convention- might be trans acted. Senator Fairbanks concluded the read ing of the platform at 2:50. He moved that the platform be adopted, and on that motion demanded the previous question. The demand was seconded by Senator Hansbrough, of North Dakota, and Sen ator Sewell, of New Jersey. The demand was agreed to, and the motion then wan declared by Chairman Lode to unani mously adopt. The announcement of- the adoption of the platform was received with enthusiastic cheers. Caalrman. Lodge then- called; for the va rious delegations of .NatlonaL. commJttee zach and vlcerprcsldents- Senator Foraker, of Ojo, was hi the center of the main aisle with his hand raised for recognition.

Miss Edna Terry, the American missionary who is believed to have been killed in a Boxer riot near Tien Tain, wrote a letter which has Just been received In Brooklyn, In which she says: "We hear so many rumors that we do not know Just what to believe. I can not feel sorry that a change of some kind Is coming. The people themselves say things cannot be worse than they have been, and. will welcome any change which .- prom'ses better government. The condi tions throughout the country this year are dreadful beyond power to express. Ev.en In the best years there is poverty such as we know nothing of In America. This year there was a failure cf crops, and as a result many families usually in comfortable circumstances are reduced to want. All around people are dying of cold and hunger, and church members were in very destitute condition. Chaff, pxanut husks, sweet potato vines and all substances were about gone. Some had been living on the bark of mulberry trees, but even such meals have a limit. We will help tide over cur church members, and as many more as we can. but there will be a vast company we have no means of relieving. Pestilence will follow In the wake of the famine as an inevitable result. "The people say they do not fear war aa much as they fear starvation, but the horrors of the two together will be dread ful. When vast numbers of Chinese sol diers commence to flee before their ene mies, they will spread all around the country and Increase the devastation. "It Is-not much use to write rumors and" predictions. We expect to hear any day that troopa have landed. Events may have become facts In history be fore my letter reaches you.
