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

mand by the entire party, and hlchly as
ho Is prized as Governor, he is sure to
render vast services both during the elec

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,

forts.
Consul Flc-wer, at Che Foo. In a sup
plement to the report from Consul-Gen-eral

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

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

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.

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."

A RUSSIAN VIEW. -
Rothnteln Says the Reports From
China Are Exaggerated.
NEW YORK. June 22. 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.
"Surely the powers will not want her
territory. For Russia. I can say that we
do not want one foot of Chinese soil.
"I confess there is a great question to
settle. The Chinese are a hard people to
understand. They are -intensely proud.
They believe their country Is the great

ITHACA. N. Y., Juno 22. In his ad
dress to tho graduating class of Cornell
University today. President Schurman
said: . -
"The most Imminent danger In modern
politics Is the exploitation of the weak
er races by the stronger races. Into whose
power they have fallen. It may be dona
by regulations of trade and commerce, pr
It may be dene In more Insidious ways.
But, however done, it is certain to prove
a bane to both. For the world Is a moral
world and history Is governed by moral
laws, and oppression and Injustice never
fall to bring as their nemesis unending
discontent, chronic revoHs and impover
ished treasuries.
"Good policy prescribes absolute jus
tice In dealing with weaker races who
have come under the sovereignty of
stronger races. In the case of us Ameri
cans, it would be an unpardonable thing
If we forgot our own Ideals and conceiv
ed that we had any mission in relation
to foreign peoples who may come under
our flag except to train them up to the
exercise and enjoyment of the privileges
and liberties- which the flag symbolizes
and ruaranteea Our true greatness
consists In the character of ojr intellect
ual and moral Ideals and the energy
with which wo train them up to be
,come sharers of these Ineffable blessings.
To seek our advantage and not theirs
would be to repeat, tho criminal blunder
which, in the last century, cost England
her American colonies.
"I feel NEangulne, however, about the
future of our enlarging Republic, and the
ground ot my confidence lies in the na
ture of the Ideals ot the American people
and devotlqn with which they pursue
thorn. Tho great American nation loves
order. Justice, liberty and Intelligence
and desires them for. others as well as
for lts,elf. See how sensitive public
opinion was on the Porto itlcan legisla
tion, and how, in response ,to the de
mands of independent citizens, irrespect
ive of party, a bill was passed giving the
Porto Rican's. home, rule and providing for
free trade with the United States, nec
essarily, in two years and Just as much
earlier as the Porto Rlcans themselves desired."

Thieves .Enter an East Side Resi

Burglars entered the residence of an
East Side family named Cook, residing at
1054 East Taylor street, and stole $S0 In
cash. Mr. Cook was 'sleeping In a room
on the ground floor adjoining the parlor,
into which the burglars entered! through a
window, and he was aroused by tho re
flection from a mirror of the light which
thoy carried. He Immediately arose, and
tho burglars attempted Ho escape. Mr.
Cook threw at them the only weapon he
could lay his hands on, a shaving mug,
while one was going through a window.
Tho other grappled with him and threw
him to the floor, and then escaped. "Mr.
-Cook was uninjured. In their hurry the

have rather swamped the scandal exist

were 73 of these professors and 24. as
slsants, some of them having no olasses
at all, and others only one or two students
Many of the professors drew other sal
aries. When this was called to General
Wood's attention, he Immediately Inaugu
rated a reform, which resulted In cutting
down the list to 46, including assistants,
which Is enough, considering that there
are only 450 students.
