NO SURREPJITIOUS CHANGES desolations Head to the Convention Were Those Agreed Upon ly the Committee. and, allowing for minor differences of opin ion, as there alwaj-s are regarding pjrty platforms. It trtil aid In the certa'n tri umph, of tho Republican party." XETW YORK, June 22. Lemuel E. QulBe. the New York member of tho committee on resolutions of the National Republican Convention In Philadelphia, In reference to a statement of General C. H. Grosvenor, of Ohio, In effect that cer tain language that had been agreed upon by the sub-committee of -which Mr. Qulgg 'was secretary, was omitted from the plat form, tonight gave out the following: "General Grosvenor's statement that something was surreptitiously omitted ! from the platform which was 'understood by the committee to be a part of the platform is untrue. He states that he makes that statement upon the authority of Senaor Foraker, but that Is lmpossi. ble. The platform was the work of the sub-committee of the committee on res olutions, and every member of that sub committee contributed to the work ot making the platform, and on every point and every plank the sub-committee was unanimous. It was also unanimous on all matters suggested, but omitted. "It is true that a document was rcaa to the sub-committee by Senator Foraker that contained the language General Grosvenor quotes. That document haa been prepared in Washington, but tho committee considered that It was muci. too long, and that It too much resem bled a political essay. The points made In that document, however, were fully discussed during a session of nearly llvo hours' duration. "At the end of the session I was elected secretary of the sub-committee and re quired to put together the planks upon which 'the agreement had been reached. 3 did thK and the committee met again "it 1 o'clock Wednesday morning and went over what I had written, word for word. My draft was altered In many details, and every such alteration received the approval of every member of the sub committee. Wo then took up other planks of minor Importance, and after full dis cussion conclusions were reached as to ach of them, and I was requested to make a draft of the minor planks. I worked on that the rest of the night, and at 7 o'clock Senator Fairbanks came to my room. Together we went over the completed platform from the flrst word to the last. The sub-committee met again at 9 o'clock, and the document, with such changes as Sir. Fairbanks had sug gested, was read In full. "The lapguage of the planks to which General Grosvenor referred was then pre cisely In the form In which it was read to the convention. The sub-committee had considered just how far It would go in the direction of giving countenance "to subsidies to the rftlpplng interests and the language adopted -was Its deliberate and final judgment. "As to the statement 'that Congress has full power over the territory belonging to the United States, edbject only to tho fundamental safeguards of liberty. Justice and personal rights,' the committee con sidered that Inasmuch as this question was now before the United States Su preme Court it wa3 neither advisable nor necesrary to run the risk of getting cur platform Into a controversy with the Supreme Court. But we did say that It was the duty of the Government to put down armed Insurrection In the Philippines and that as to the people of all the territories acquired by war 'the largest measure of eelf-government consistent with thef r t el fare and our duties shall be secured to them by law.' This plank was fully de bated and deliberated and unanimously agreed upon, and no man has any author ity to say one word was put in or left out surreptitious y. The platform as pre pared by the sub-committee was read to the full committee, was there debated for two nours and, with a few alterations, one of which related to the two planks .referred to by General Grosvenor, was unanimously adopted. "Mr. Grosvenor says that 'It was agreed and understood that the planks' as he states them, 'should be a part of the plat form. There was no such agreement or understanding In the committee on resolu tions, or In its sub-committee. In writing the platform, I employed the language of tho document Senator Foraker had read to us. In so far as It was consistent with tho decisions at Which the sub-committee .had arrived, but when Mr. Grosvenor says that anything, no matter what, was agreed upon by the sun-commltitee and afterward omitted, he says that which Is iabsolutely false." FILIPINOS AND CUBANS. Bryan Once More GIick Ills Opinions on Tlielr IMeht. KNOXVIL.L.B, Tenn.. June 22. Tho Sentinel prints a letter addressed to it by Colonel W. J. Bryan, In which he ex presses his views upon the relations of the Filipinos and tho Cubans and their rights. It is as follows: "I believe that the rights of the Filipi nos and the rights of the Cubans aro identical. Tho recognition of the rights of tho Cubans by resolution did not cre- ate these rights. They existed before. "If the Filipinos have a right to their independence, the fact that they fought 'for it does not Justify us In carrying on a war of conquest. It is no more humil iating for a nation to recognize the rights of an opponent than for an IndUldual to do so. "We would have had the same trouble la Cuba If we had treated tho Cubans the same as wo have the Filipinos. We would have no trouble In the Philllpplno Islands If we had treated the Filipinos as we have treated the Cubans. If wo are going to give the Filipinos their In dependence we ought to say so at once and thus avoid further bloodshed. How can we Just'fy the sacrifice of American soldiers and the killing of Filipinos, mere ly to show that we can whip them? "The Bacon resolution received the sup port of nearly every Democratic Senator, and was adopted by a Democratic caucus In the House. This resolution promised independence. If it had been accepted and acted upon when it was first Intro duced there would have been no Filipino war. If it had been adopted at the time the vote was taken, it would have stopped tho war."

BERLIN Jure 22. Andrew D. White, the United States Ambassador hero, said 10 tho correspondent of the Associated Press today, referring to the Philadelphia convention: "Tho renomlnatlon of President McKln ley was oxpected by every thinking nwn abroad and at home. It was a true re ward for most eminent services during one of the most difficult periods in our history- Ot coure, like every President, es pecially like Washington, Lincoln, Grant and Cleveland, ho has been bitterly at tacked for cerythlng he has done, hut future historians will undoubtedly rank him among the best Presidents. "The nomination of Governor Roose velt was dearly in obedience to a de mand by the entire party, and hlchly as ho Is prized as Governor, he is sure to render vast services both during the elec tion and as Vlce-Prestaent. While hold ing that office he can continue to exer cise the most happy Influence upon Amer ican politics. "The platform, is what was expected, ST. LOUIS. June 22. The sensation of the day in the street-car strike was the arrest of Ora Havlll, a detective employ ed by tho Transit Company, on suspicion of having been Implicated In numerous dynamite explosions that have occurred along the lines of the Transit Company. Chief of Police Campbell recently de tailed men to watch Havlll, taking this action after Havu had reported to tho Transit officials the details of an alleged conspiracy to blow up the street rail way bridge over Blver Desperes. The police detectives afterward caught Havlll In the act of placing dynamite near the bridge. Chief Campbell declares his be lief that Havlll has been planting dyna mite and reporting consplrracles In an en deavor to establish a record with the Transit Company as an energetic sleuth. Havlll Is out on bonds pending trial un der indictments for tho alleged embezzle ment of JG000 from the Southern Illinois Penitentiary, of which he was chief clerk. Havlll has figured In at least two shoot ing affrays during the strike. Cars arc being run on all divisions of the Transit Company's system in the day time, and at night "owl" cars are oper ated on several lines. Aside from tho light traffic, the only thing that would indicate a strike Is the presence of armed men, members of the posse comlratus, around the power-houses and carsheds. In a bulletin Issued today by tho striko leaders, the Uunions are advised to act slowly and with care in declaring boy cotts, and to take no steps without ac cording a hearing to those against whom action Is proposed. The inquest Into tho deaths of tho two strikers who were slwt in front of tho posse barracks, June 10, was resumed to day. At noon tho Inquest was adjourned to Saturday. Sheriff Pohlman today received a com munication from the Board of Police Commissioners, of which the following is a part: "At a meeting of the board we have de cided to order the parole of all the posse except 500 men, which number we request may be kept until further orders from this board. Wo further request that you make such arrangements as ou deem, ad-vlsablo to have ready for active ser vice on the Fourth of July at least 1000 men. as the discharge of firearms and fireworks upon that day Is likely to oc casion and encourage acts of lawlessness and violation." WASHINGTON. June 22. The only nes from China laid before the Cabinet meeting today was a telegram to the Sec retary of be Navy giving the movement of vessels In Chinese waters. The text of the message, however, was not made niiWtr. That the President and the members of. the Cabinet regard the situation :n nina as extremely critical is shown by the fact that preliminary preparations are being made to send forward additional troops In case of need. A telegram was sent to General MacArthur, at Manila, asking how large a force he can spare, should It become necessary to send them to China. No answer to this Inquiry Is ex pected before tomorrow, when instruc tions may be sent to have transports and troops in readiness to sail. It Is said that It Is not the purpose. of hft President to dispatch these additional troops at once, except In the event that the situation oecomes even i;uic 6" than at present. The cablegram to Mac Arthur was a precautionary measure, taken with a view to being In readiness to meet any emergency. The Cabinet session was largely occu pied by the Postmaster-General, who hadk returned from the Philadelphia conven tion, in tolling the story of the conven tion. It Is understood that low water in the Pel Ho River is preventing the naval vessels at Taku from going to the assist nace of the force at Tien Tsin, and it is probable that no boat drawing more water than a torncdo-boat can get that far up the river. In that case the pur-- poso of the Navy Department In hasten ing the gunboat Nashville and the old Monocacy to Taku has been. In part, de feated, for. even with their light draught. It Is Improbable that they could ascend the Pel Ho as far as Tien Tsin during the extreme low water at present. In this case, tho only recourse Is the use of troona and naval battalions afoot. The distance from Taku to Tien Tsln Is about, 33 miles, but the traveling Is bad, ana If there Is much rain, the journey must occupy several days. Tho emergency described in Admiral KcmpfTs dispatch has led the War De partment to make an extra effort to hurry forward the Ninth Regiment from Luzon to Taku. It was reported by General MacArthur, upon the receipt of the orig inal order to send these troops to China, that, owing to tho break In the railway communication between Tarlac. the head quarters of the Ninth, and Manila, and tho prevalence In the harbor of a typhoon, It would probably not be possible for the troops to get away before the 24th Inst. The War Departmert Is now determined that this movement shall be hastened, if It la possible to do so, and has In structed General MacArthur in such fash- Ion as to warrant the belief here that tho troops will be on their way to China not later than tomorrow, thus saving one or two days on the original calculation. There also Is good reason to believe that the authorities will dispatch at least one other regiment from. Manila to China -a lth tho least posrible delay. In order that the United States may be In a better po sition to assist the allied forces In pro tecting the lives and property of foreign ers. , Tho United States Consulate at Tien Tsln, which late news advices report to have been destroyed. Is situated far up on the meadows road,, which runs up from the Pel Ho directly through the cen ter of the town. It Is" far remqved from any of the other Cohsulates. and practi cally Isolated from other foreign bulld- i Irgs. This fact might explain the report' of its destruction before the rest bt the foreign Consulates were molested. The Japanese and Russian Consulates aro close together on the meadows road near tho river. Away off by themselves, farther up the Pel Ho, stand the British and French buildings, in close proximity to each other. The American Consulate Is, or was (as. the case may be), one of the most Imposing and substantial build ings in the town. A recent census of Tien Tsln shows the foreign population to be abput 1000 per sons. Including 110 Americans. Thus the report that 1500 foreigners at Tien Tsln had been massacred would seem to be untrue or grossly exaggerated Jn point of numbers Tho State Department has received a cablegram from. Consul-General Gpodnow, at Shanghai, announcing the arrival there of two steel cruisers. No details are given. These vessels are supposedly Brit ish cruisers to protect the town. In the event of an attack from the outlying forts. Consul Flc-wer, at Che Foo. In a sup plement to the report from Consul-Gen-eral Goodnow. upon the United JStates trade with Ghlna, shows that in four years, from 1&S to 1E99. Inclusive, we hayo. doubled our sJes with China. China Im ported American goods last year to Uie value of tlC.2SS745. and British gooes to tho value of $2S,936,0S3. five-sixths of the total Importation coming from British and American territory, and -more than half from Great Britain alone. In the matter of exports, statistics show that the United States bought more of China In 1S99 than any other country In the world. The ex ports last year were valued at $13,S35,4SS, our Increase of trade during the year be ing 10 times greater than Great Britain's for tho same period. Consul Flower strongly urges a more direct method of shipping our goods to China. Says the Consul: "I have scn but one merchant steanier under our flag (and she had no rlght-to It) since I came to China. In February, 1S00, 10 years ago, and It was seven years be fore I saw sailors direct from the United States. About one-fortieth of the Ameri can carrying trade of China last year wa done undr the Union flag, while-more than half was under the Erltlsh ensign. Germanv did three times as well as the United States. I can see, f-om my desk, six modern Chinese men-of-war. all built In Germany or England. A large Gorman corporation keeps a representative al ways In Pekln." A missionary Report. NEW YORK, June 22. Rev. Dr. Leon ard, secretary of the Methodist Foreign Missionary Society, In this city,- received the following cablegram today: "Che Too. June 15. Tien Tsln bom barded Pekln very serious. Hopkins, Brown and King saved. Gunboat. "Brown." The three mentioned are missionaries. Dr. Leonard Infers that the remaining 24 missionaries at TJen Tsin have, been murdered- by the Boxers. Among them are many women, including five In the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, and members of the Hanlnor Pike, Hop kins and Brown families. Mr. .Brown Is the Rev. F. Brown, ot Tien Tsln. The others referred to are N. S. Hopkins, M. D.. and tha Rev. H. "E. King. Dr. Hopkins Is stationed at Tsun Hua and Mr. King at Pekln. Last week word was received that the Metho dist missionaries' at Tsun Hua had gone to Tlcn Tsln for safety. At the mission ary society it Is estimated that, includ ing their wives and families, there are now 37 Americans under the protection of the gunboat referred to. BAD FIRE IN PIWSBURG QUARTER. OF A MILLION LOSS THE BCSINESS DISTRICT. IN Elprht Buildings, Containing Many Office Tenants, Were Involved In the Blaze. .Movements of Transports. WASHINGTON, June 22. Quartermaster-General Ludlngton has received a ca blegram' from Coonel Miller, Quartermas ter at Manila, saying that tht? transport Hancock, which had been unavoidably detained by continuance of the storm, had sailed the 19th Inst, for San Fran cisco, and that the transport Warren, which has been ordered South by the Major-Gcneral commanding, would soil from Manila for San Francisco July 1. No mention was made of tho transport Logan, but It Is supposed that she wLl be ready to start from Manila tho 24th Inst., with the Ninth Infantry, for Taku. as previously predicted by General MacAr thur. It Is understood here that the movement of the regiment to Manlla-f rom. Tarldc. Concepclon and other stations on tho Manila & Dagupan Railway has been delayed by tho prevalence of severe storms in the Interior. Are Well Insured. NEW YORK, June 22. Inquiries at tho New York offices of several British insur ance companies which are said to have large commitments In China, showed that most of the railroad, manufacturing and commercial Interests of European capital aro fairly well Insured, and that many members of the Diplomatic Service of the several Western nations carry a certain amount of life Insurance. The marine in surance companies, particularly those In suring craft entering Chinese waters, are also affected. No demands for Insurance against -"war risks" have been made at Llyods, Lon don, by shippers and consigners yet. al though a, number of inquiries havo beea received. General Jipes on China. CLEVELAND. June 22. General Nel son A. Miles, who came here to witness a test of the recently Invented McClean ordnance, In an Interview, Is quoted a& saying: "The trouble In China is most serious, and the result Is difficult to predict. The United States will nd enough troops to China to protec the Americans there and American interests. More troops than those- already detailed will be sent to China speedily if the situation demands. The dignity and rights of tho Government wU be jupheld." , PITTSBURG, June 22. Fire In one of the principal down-town business blocks today caused a leas of $250,000, Involving eight buildings, containing many office ; tenants. The aggregate insurance will more then cover this amount. .The" fire broke out In the rear of tho Elchbaum Company's printing establish ment, supposedly caused by spontaneous combustion. Tho Elchbaum building fronted on Fifth avenue, a few doors be low Wood street, was six stories high and was tenanted by many officeholders. Duff's College occupying the two upper floors and the Holmes Electric Company the third floor.. Before the firemen could do much effective work the Are had com municated to ho Exchange National Bank building, next door below, and from there to the Huasey Building, adjoining. Sim ultaneously the fire extended to James Piatt's saloon and restaurant and A. M". Murdock's flower store on the upper side. For a time the entire block bounded Jr Fifth avenue, Wood street. Diamond and Market streets seemed doomed to de struction. ' Imense firebrands were car ried by the wind to buildings in all direc tions. The greatest excitement prevailed In the rooms of Duff's Business College, whero 50 or more students were at work. The extension of the flames was so rapid that these peop'e had to run for their lives, not having tlmo to gather their belonging to gether. Reports were rife that , several students had perished, but It Is known tonight that all escaped unhurt. The Elchbaum building was destroyed and the Hussoy building had the three upper stories Tnirned and the lower floors flooded with water. When the Elchbaum Building had been gutted, the wall of the L portion, which ran back ot Piatt's and Murdock's buildings, fell, crushing In tho rear portions of the Wood street buildings, occupied by the American Ex press Company, Paulson Bros., A. M. Buhl and Jurtz, Langbein & Swartz. Several firemen Were caught In the de bris 'of this fall, but none was hurt so badly he could not continue his work. The principal losses are the Elchbaum Building, owned by Whitney, Stephenson & Co., $75,000; the Hursey building, owned by Mrs. Emma Alsop. $30,000; Jurtz, Lang bein & Swartz, artists' supply company. JSOOO; Duffs College, $15,000; Pittsburg Coal Company, STjOO: Piatt's saloon, $5000; Paul son Bros., hatters, $5000; American Ex press Company, $5000, and Holmes Elec tric CTompany, $3000. The other losses are distributed among the office tenants, nono of 'whom suffered to 'the extent of more than $2000. priest)-. There are also some stray can vasses by American, pajntcrs, but all badly, hung. The Unked States postoffice box was duly Inspected and also the, registers where the Americans write therr names and addresses. The President looked, up at the pasteboard shields hung on the three tiers, ot balconies representing, the Union. Ambassador Porter then took the Presi dent to see the elevator,--which, however, did not happen to be working. General Porter looked at President Loubet, who looked at Minister SUllerano, who in tum glanced at PIcard. All smiled and the Presidential party, after cordially shaking hands with the Ambassador, walked off t visit other National pavilion. The Presidential visit at the American building did not last more than five min utes, the reason being, unfortunately, that there was nothing of particular Interest to sea there. Just as President Loubet left the building, Commissioner-General Peck arrived to welcome the President. Ambas sador Porter remarked: - "The President has gone." Mr. Peck replied: "I am sor ry the President carno ahead of time," and looked at his watch, which marked 9:30 o'clock, which was correct, according to railway schedule timeout five minutes late,r than the time Indicated on the pneu matic street clocks and the clocks on the exterior of the railway stations. This Is the 67th day since the exposition opened, and patriotic Americans have so far refrained from caustic criticism ot their National pavilion. In hopes that something would be placed In It to put It on an even footing with other countries, but after today's Presidential visit. It la impossible to conceal the fact that In tho opinion of 99 out of 100 Americans who have seen It, the Uplted States National Pavilion, as far as lta, contents are con cerned, is unworthy of our country and causes unpleasant impressions when com pared with the German pavilion, with Its art collection of Frederick the Great; with the British pavilion, and with the pavil ions of Italy. Spain, Russia, HungaTy and Au'trla, which admirably displayed their respective native Irdustfles. The American pavilion Is not only fir Inferior, to the National pavilions of first class countries, but -discreditable evf n when compared to the pavilions of micro scopic states like Monaco or tho Repub lic of San Marino. Under the American pavilion is a third-class American restau rant with French waiters and a soda water fountain, but whero one cannot ob tain American wines nor porterhouse steaks, nor terrapin, nor buckwheat cakes. RESULT OF THE CENSUS DIRECTOR MERRIAM EXPLAINS "WHY IT IS JiOT AJSNpUXGED. Time for Enameratlon Has Not Yet Expired Figures Will Be Given "-" Oat as t Soon --as 'Possible. WASHINGTON. June 2& Director of the Census Merriam tbday gave out & statement for the information 'of the pub lic', in which he says: "The census office is now In receipt of many letters dally, asking for Informa tion as to the result of the census In par ticular localities, and especially In tho larger cities. It does not appear to oc cur to the writers that the census has not yet been taken. The law -allows to June 15 In cities of S00O Inhabitants, and Tn rural districts until July 1 for Its com pletion, and after that the schedules have to bo examined by the supervisors of census before they can be forwarded to Washington. In order that the supervisors may determine whether the work has been satisfactorily done, ar- may be In a position to certify to the correctness of enumerators' accounts for service render ed under the law." In his 'statement Director Merriam re cites in detail the method of collecting and compiling the census statistics, and states that it must be weeks, or even months, before the figures can be given out In their entirety. He adds: "Not until the machine count shall hava been made for any particular city, county or slate, can the figures be given out for publication. The cities, will naturally be taken up first, and' as fast as the actual population as returned by the enumera tors Is ascertained. It will be posted on a bulletin board In tho hall outside the Di rector's rcom for the Information of tha press. Figures not given- out oy mc census office will bo understood to be merely guesses, which may In- some cases, approximate the truth, but are unau thorized and untrustworthy." RECEIVED BY LOUBET.

H. H. Rothsteln. the Russian financier, who is said to bo the chief adviser of the Russian Finance Minister, and who has ben In this city for some days past, consulting with local men of finance about' a proposed Russian loan, will sail for home tomorrow. Mr. Rothsteln was asked last night for on opinion of the probable outcome of the present trouble In Chinese affairs. "To read your papers," he 6ald. "one might think all China aflame: that the Foreign Ambassadors and missionaries. have been killed, and that there Is, great trouble. "As one who knows something of China, I do not think this Is true. -I am con vinced that communication will be je stored In a day or two, and that all our people will be found unharmed. The powers are co-operating as one nation, and they will quickly restore order. Of that, I have no doubt." "Will Chin retain her nationality?" was asked. "Why not?" replied Mr. Rothstein.
