Chairman of State Central Committee
John P. Hopkins.
SPRINGFIELD. III., June 17. The elec
tion' of John P. Hopkins as chairman of
the state central committee produced the
only fight in the Democratic state con
vention, but it was stirring enough to
make up for the lameness that character
ized the other proceedings of the con
vention. The day was full of clashes be
tween Hopkins and Carter H. Harrison.
The two men indulged In an acrimonious
quarrel in the St. Nicholas Hotel during
the morning, in which Hopkins bitterly
resented criticisms made by Harrison
of the campaign methods attributed to
Hopkins by Harrison. The fight for the
chairmanship was carried from the state
committee, which made a majority report
in favor of Hopkins to the -floor of the
convention. A minority report favoring
the election of Harrison was made, and
the fight carried to the floor of the con
vention. The struggle produced wild ex
citement. Impassioned speeches were
made in favor of both representatives,
and every orator was received with wild
applause and tumultuous hoots. The del
egates at times were frantic, and criti
cisms highly personal were frequently ex
changed. Proceedings of the Convention.
Chairman Hopkins called the conven
tion to order and introduced Lawrence B.
Stringer, of Lincoln, as temporary chair
man. In the course of his address he
said, concerning trusts:
"In vain shall the people find relief from
these mighty monsters of prey from the
party whose tariff policy has produced
them, which has fed, nourished and main
tained them, and which is the suppliant
recipient of their bounty. Feints to reg
ulate, grandstand plays to chasten, paper
prosecutions and injunctions to restrain,
do not and will not suffice. If the law be
broken, let the offenders be Indicted, tried
and convicted of their crimes, as the law
provides, rather than to be pleasantly
warned not to break the law again.
Drastic legislation is needed, and extreme
measures required to rend these trusts
apart, to felonize their reunion, to free
list their products, and Democracy alone,
which neither loves them nor fears them.
Is' the onJy agency In the land that can
defeat and destroy them.
"Destroy high tariff, and you destroy
the trusts. Destroy the trusts, and you
destroy the soul and quench, the fire of
the .Imperialistic and colonial policy that
has hauled down the Nation's flag and
raised a counterfeit copy of the same in
stead, with clots of blood for stars."
Upon the conclusion of Mr. Stringer's
address, which was greeted with cheers,
the temporary organization was made
permanent.
The committee on resolutions had a long
and stormy session before their report
was finally adopted. The principal fight
was over the principal plank in the plat
form. As originally drafted, this read:
"The Democrats of Illinois in state con
vention declare their adtterence to the
fundamental principles of the Democratic
party as laid down In the Declaration of
Independence, the Constitution of the
United States, and our last National con
vention." This was considered by the
opponents of silver as a too specific dec
laration in favor of the Kansas City
platform, and they fought it. For three
hours the debate went on and the plank
was amended to read: "The fundamental
principles of the Democratic party, etc.,
repeatedly affirmed by past Democratic
conventions." No effort was made to
bring In the name of W. J. Bryan.
The Platform. .
The platform as adopted reads as fol
lows: "Private monopolies destroy competi
tion ' and control the price of material,
lahor and the finished product, thereby
robbing both producer and consumer.
We, therefore, insist upon a rigid enforce
ment of the present anti-trust laws, and
favor such further legislation, both Fed
eral and state, as may be necessary to
prevent such combinations. We denounce
the Republican tariff as a prolific mother
of trusts. We demand a thorough re
vision of the tariff and the abolition of
all special privileges, and as the first
most obvious and most effective means
of eliminating special privileges from our
laws and of restoring to American cit
izenship the equality which is its birth
right, that every product of a tariff-protected,
competition-destroying trust be
placed on the free list.
VVe are opposed to the British system
of colonization, by means of which power
ful selfish interests are enabled to em
ploy the resources of the people to en
slave inferior races and to enrich them
selves. We are in favor of true American
expansion, such as under Democratic con
trol has been achieved in the past and by
moans ,of which vast territories have been
dedicated forever to equality and free
dom. We, therefore, denounce the various
measures adopted by the Republicans for
the government of the Philippines as mon
opolistic and autocratic and dangerous to
liberty .at home as well as liberty
abroad."
The. ship subsidy bill is denounced and
liberal pensions favored. The platf&rm
demands that the United States assure
the Filipinos, of their Independence as
soon as a stable government is estab
lished. Continuing, the platform says:
"We express our horror and deep regret
at the monstrous crime which removed
from the Nation its much-beloved and
mourned President, William McKinley.
The tenets of anarchy have no place In
free American Institutions. Ours is a
government of law administered by the
people's representatives, and we condomn
all resort to violence for redress of griev
ances, real or fancied.
"The death of John P. Altgeld is de
plored, and he is extolled as a good Gov
ernor, a firm friend of the oppressed, an
uncompromising foe of shams and pre
tences, an unyielding opponent of special
privileges."
Other planks dealing with state issues
demand that corporations be forced to
pay their just proportion of taxes; favor
home, rule to municipalities In the matter
of granting franchises with authority to
acquire and operate public utilities; de
mand thorough and efficient civil service
laws applicable to all state Institutions
and services; demand legislation to make
effective the constitutional provision abol
ishing convict labor in the state In com
petition with free labor, and Indorse the
action tf the state's Democratic repre-
sentatives In Congress ."In defense and,
support of the fundamental principles of
Democracy."

Platform of Maine Democrats.
BANGOR, Me., June 17 The Democratic
state convention nominated W. S. Gould,
of Skowhegan, for Governor, and adopted
a platform, which, In discussing National
questions, says:
"We deplore the policy which has cre
ated occasion for acts of cruelty and bar
barism in the Philippines, which no party
dares uphold. We denounce the policy of
Imperialism as practiced by Spain in Cuba,
by the British Government in America
before the Revolution, by Great Britain
In South Africa, and by the Republican
Administration in the Philippines. We
believe that the liberation of Cuba was
forced by the Democratic party, and that
the same liberty should be granted the
Philippines."

SOUTH AFRICAN TRADE.
War Has Mnde Business, but Peace
Will Make Much More.
The exports of domestic and foreign
merchandise from the United States to
British Africa in 10 months ending with
April for several years past has been as
follows:
1002 524.70S.612
1001 lb.437.315
1000 13.168,002
JSUU 12.500.130
lb08 10,174,575
The rapid increase since the beginning
of the war Is due in part to the shipment
of horses, mules and provisions for the
British army. But peace does not mean
an Interruption of this progress. Already
the British Government has ceased buy
ing the mule of war in Missouri and begun
buying the cattle of peace in Texas. South
Africa will have to import a good deal of
food in peace as well as in war, and no
email part of our exports have been the
subjects of peaceful consumption, the
demand for which will be greatly stimu
lated by the cessation of hostilities. The
exports ,of separate commodities for the
past ten monthare not stated by divis
ions of Africa;' the monthly reports of the
Bureau of Statistics lump them for all
Africa. But In the past ten months our
exports to British Africa have been six
sevenths of our exports to all Africa, and
of the exports to Africa not Britten one
half were sent to Portuguese Africa, and
Lourenco Marques Is simply an entrepot
to -a large section of Africa now under
British sovereignty and for some time
past mainly in British military posses
ion. The following table fhows the exports
of domestic merchandise to all Africa in
the ten months ending with April, 1902:
Horses 15.015,710
Wheat 3.016.615
Flour 1.373.693

The policy of President Kruger was to
obstruct trade with Cape Colony and
Natal as much as possible" and divert
trade to Delagoa Bay and to German
sources. Durban is the most growing and
promising port of South Africa, and the
obliteration of the customs barrier be
tween the Transvaal and Cape Colony and
Natal must be extremely favorable for
the expansion of trade and the develop
ment of the country. There Is abundant
indication that there is to be a great ex
ploitation of the resources of the Dark
Continent, and a .great inflow thither of
enterprise and immigration. As a result
of this our exports to South Africa will
grow faster than they have grown in the
past five years.
The Bureau of Statistics has Just pub
lished a report on South African trade
made by Mr. Cumming, Canadian Com
missioner. He finds the demand f or lum
ber of all kinds enormous, and much of it
is supplied from the United States, 'but he
says tnat Americans buy raw lumber In
Canada, manufacture it In the United
States, and get the larger part of the
profits. Cement is largely Imported.
There is a demand for house, office and
church furniture .shipped "knocked down."
Musical Instruments arc bought largely,
but at present mainly from Germany.
American agricultural Implements are
crowding out English and German goods,
because Americans are studying local
conditions. There is a good demand for
windmills, mineral fertilizers and wheeled
vehicles. Typewriters generally come
from the United States. A great deal of
harness is Imported from the United
States, packed in with carriages to save
freight. American boots and shoes have
been received with a good deal of favor.
There will always be a demand for hard
wheat; local milling supplies about half
the flour. Canned goods, including enor
mour quantities of condensed milk, are
used. Mr. Cumming says: "Very few
United States manufacturing firms have
agents exclusively pushing their goods,
but during recent years New York and
Boston exporting commission houses have
opened offices and small sample-rooms In
Cape Town. Durban and other centers,
keeping their travelers regularly visiting
all business points, receiving a commis
sion for buying from the African trade,
also charging the United States and Can
adian manufacturers for soiling. In this
way a very large demand ha been cre
ated for United States products. In ad
dition to visiting each dealer regularly
by travelers, trade circulars and price
lists are issued 'monthly in ttfe United
States and-mailed to African dealers, giv
ing the changes Jn market values."

HELENA, Mont., June 17. Helena
took the initial game with Portland this
afternoon. It was a pitchers battle, in
which Witbeck for the visitors out
classed Slagle, but the ability of the Sen
ators to bunch their hits won them the
game. The loss drops the Webfooters
Into third place, while the Mary Mac
Lanes fall into second.
The game was played in record-breaking
time," and Helena won out by a score
of 3 to 1. The time played was one hour
and twenty-eight minutes, undoubtedly the
fastest game ever witnessed in this
city.
Eliminating the errors the score would
have stood 1 to 0 in favor of Helena. The
game was characterized by two pretty
double-plays, one by Helena and one by
Portland, both of which occurred in the
third Inning. Helena secured hers when
Witbeck Teas given life at first on ac
count of Schmeer's bad throw to Shaffer,
Muller followed with a hot liner to Mc
Giliigan, who made a pretty throw to
Shaffer, doubling Witbeck.
Portland's double was made by Ander
son, Delsel and Mahaffey. McGIHIgan
reached first on an error by Witbeck.
Slagel hit to Anderson and Delsel beat
McGilllgan to second, where he made a
difficult catch of Anderson's throw, thus
forcing out McGilllgan. He then sent the
ball to Mahaffey before Slagle reached
first.
Sullivan was the star of the day. Not
only did he take desperate chances when
occasions required, but he rapped out
the three-bagger that brought in the only
earned run of the game.
Portland's only run was secured in the
fifth. Weed singled and Mahaffey reached
first on Slagle's error. Weed got to third
on an error by McGilllgan. VIgneux
Mnglcd and scored Weed and advanced
Mahaffey to third. Muller made a short
hit, forcing VIgneux out at second. Then
came the sensational play of the game.
Muller started to steal second on the
next ball delivered, but so quick was
Sullivan on throwing the ball to Schmcer
at second that Muller was beaten by 10
feet. In fact the throw was altogether
too quick, as it did not give Schmeer an
opportunity to touch Muller before Ma
haffey could have reached home. So
Schmeer let Muller go and by a quick
return caught Mahaffey at the plate by
several feet. It had been Sullivan's in
tention, of course, to assist in the third
out on Muller.
Helena scored in the third on Weed's
error. McGIlligan's bunt and a single by
Shaffer. In the seventh Helena scored
another run on Hannlvan's single and
Sullivan's triple.
Helena's run In the eighth was a gift
by the umpire in a close decision. Shaffer
reached first on a fielder's choice and,
scored on Weed's second error. It was
apparent that Shaffer was out, but the
umpire did not see It that way.
Both Witbeck and Slagle pitched mas
terly ball, and while Portland made more
hits they were scattered and ineffectual.
The score:

Found An Umpire Who Scits.
Here is a case of an umpire who has
pleased the people. The Butte Miner, in
its Issue of last Sunday, spoke of Umpire
Colgan In the, highest terms. The ar
ticle follows:
Mr. Colgan U not only an efficient official.
but he la absolutely impartial, and If he has
made any mistakes they are few and far be-
iween. ana snouia be overlooked, if mere are
any to overlook. The best of us are prone to
disagree- with our neighbors every day, but
simply because that is so it is no reason why
a man should be called a "thief" or a cheat.
Mr. Colgan needs, however, no defense. He
has served all the teams who have played with
him this season in the most satisfactory tnan
ner. and .when a visiting team has no kick
coming. It la a certainty that his work is
right and fair. Mr. Colgan socially is a fine
fellow, and he has made many friends during
his stay here. He is genial, but mode and
unassuming, and Is the sort of a man to gain
friends everywhere he may go. It is sincerely
hoped by the members of the sporting frater
nity in this city that he will continue In the
game, not only this, but for many seasons to
come, for a better man could not be found.

TAFT ON INDEPENDENCE.
The Highest Authority's Views Upon
Philippine Conditions.
Governor Taft in The Outlook.
The question Is frequently asked why
it would not be well to promise the Fili
pino people that when they are fitted for
complete self-government they shall be
granted Independence. In the first place,
the Federal party, which furnishes the
only organized expression of public opin
ion In the Islands, does not ask independ
ence, but seeks rather annexation to the
United States and prospective statehood,
in the second place, there is not the
slightest probability that the Christian
Filipinos will be ready for self-government
In any period short of two genera
tions. Not 10 per cent of the people
speak Spanish, and the remaining DO per
cent or more arc densely Ignorant super
stitious, and subject to imposition of all
sorts. .. It Is absolutely necessary, in or
der that the people be taught self-government
that a firm, stable government un
der American guidance and control. In
which the Filipino people shall have a
voice, should be established. Nothing but
such, a government can educate the peo
ple Into a knowledge of what self-government
ley. Not only by precept but by
practice, must the self-restraints essential
to self-government and the discretion and
public spirit of a free people be taught
th,em. a. promise to give the people in
dependence when they are fitted for it
would Inevitably be accepted by the agi
tators and generally by the people as a
promise to give them independence within
"the present generation, and would, there
fore be misleading, and the source of bit
ter criticism ot the American Government
within a few years after the promise was
given and not performed as It was under
stood by tho people. A promise of Inde
pendence thus interpreted would destroy
the possibility of tho formation of a
stable government in which the people
should be learning what self-government
is, because the conservative clement, with
the assumed early prospect of complete
Independence, would fear that when the
islands were abandoned the violent agi
tators would come to the front and those
assisting the present government would
be subjected to the hostility of the dema
gogues on the ground of their previous
American sympathies. The only policy. It
seems to me, which will insure the estab
lishment of a firm, stable government
and the support of that government by
the educated, wealthy and conservative
Filipinos, is the. declaration of a policy in
favor of the Indefinite retention of the
Islands under a government In which the
share taken by the Filipino people shall
be made gradually to increase and the
electorate of tho Filipino peopld shall be
gradually enlarged. After this govern
ment shall be successfully established,
the question whether the Islands shall be
annexed or shall be granted Independence,
or shall have such a relation to this coun
try as Australia or Canada has to Eng
land, may be very well postponed until
the practical education of the people In
self-government shall have been suffi
cient to Justify the adoption of either of
these three courses. The policy of estab
lishing a firm and stable government In
which the Filipino people shall take part
will doubtless reveal much as to the wis
dom ot the one or the other of the courses
suggested; but it seems to me to be very
unwise to bind ourselves and the next
generation by an authoritative declara
tion now as to what we shall do 50 or 100
years hence. We cannot now know -what
subsequent generations of our own peo
ple will then deem wise, or what suc
ceeding generations of Filipinos, bene
fited by experience in self-government and
advised of the advantage of association
with the United States, will desire.
The opponents of the Administration
policy In the Philippines do not agree with
one another. If I have correctly under
stood Senator Rawlins, of the minority
of the Senate committee on the Philip
pines, in his question put me when before
the Senate committee, he believes that
the best thing for the Government to do
is to turn over the islands to a strong
man, wno shall maintain absolute rule
over the people with no popular voice in
the Government Hl3 view is that in
Oriental countries no other than the ab
solute rule of a strong man Is possible.
If this be the true view, then hope of se
curing individual liberty to the people of
the Philippines must be abandoned, and
the policy of those gentlemen wno, ukc
Senator Hoar, entertain the idea that by
leaving the islands it will be possible to
form a Filipino republic in which all the
rights of Individual liberty will be se
cured to the Filipinos must be given up.
President Schurman, after six months' ob
servation of the people, reached the con
clusion that they would not be fit for
self-government short of a generation or
longer. He now has reached the opinion,
based on the reports of the present United
States Philippine Commission' and the ob
servations of General Chaffee in review
ing criminal cases, that he was wrong
in his judgment, and that the Filipino
people will be capable of self-government
after six or eight ylears of American
tutelage, and this though the gentlemen
upon whose statements he relics for his
change of view agree with his former
conclusion. The theory of President
Schurman seems to be that the inde
pendence of a government and the indi
vidual liberty of Its subjects or citizens
are the same thing, or at least that the
one is essential to the other.
This, it seems to me. Involves a radical
error. Whether Independence will aid in
securing individual liberty depends on the
fitness for popular self-government of the
people. If they are Ignorant and easily
led, then independence means ultimately
"absolutism and not liberty. The Inde
pendence under present conditions of the
Philippine Islands will mean the subjec
tion and not the liberty of its people.
It will mean internecine warfare and will
be followed by such an abeolutc govern
ment as that which Senator Rawlins
seems to think best for them.

LONDON, June 17. The royal procession
left Windsor Castle for Ascot Heath
shortly before 1 P. M. Although King
Edward was unable to attend the races.
Queen Alexandra, the Prince and Princess
of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, the
Duke and Duchess of Connaught and the
other guests at the castle and members
of the court all participated. The proces
sion was the first full state parade of that
description since the death of the Prince
Consort and consisted of eight carriages,
each drawn by four horses. The mounted
equerries and gaily liveried postilions and
outriders formed an imposing cavalcade.
Leaving the palace quadrangle by the
George IV gate, the royal cortege drove
down the famous long walk, which was
lined with cheering crowds, and, crossing
the review grounds, the procession passed
up the course to the royal pavilion. In
spite of the inclemency of the weather,
immense crowds assembled about the
course and the royal party was every
where warmly welcomed. The royal en
closure was brilliant with color? and the
picturesque costumes ot Indian Princes.
Large numbers of special Ambassadors,
Colonial Premiers and diplomats were
present In the enclosure. United Stites
Ambassador Choate, Mrs. Choate, White
law Reld. the special Ambassador of the
United Stites, and Mrs.. Reld. did not go
to Ascot. All the big houses in and
around Ascot contributed their quota to
the fashionable throng.
Sunshine and rain alternated In the
course of the day, giving the lawn and
paddock" a variegated appearance as the
brightest Summer gowns were frequently
covered and uncovered by furs and mack
intoshes. A number of Oriental Princes,
who, clad In brilliant dress, were present
ed to Queen Alexandra In the course of
the afternoon, served to enhance the color
of the picture at the track. The varia
tion in today's temperature was curious
ly illustrated at the moment the royal
party started home. Sunshine, which
followed a heavy fall of rain, filled the
atmosphere with mist, and a3 the royal
party was not provided with sunshades,
they sat In their carriages, their bright
hats concealed beneath the Immense black
umbrellas, still glistening from the effect
of tho recent downpour. The royal pro
cession reached Windsor amid lines of ap
plauding people, and the lawn of Wind
sor Castle, which was covered with bril
liant marquees, was soon filled with In
vited guests. Another gorgeous dinner
closed the day at Windsor.
Among the Americans present was the
Duchess of Marlborough (Consuelo Van
derbilt), who was conspicuous In the pad
dock in a beautiful dress of fawn-colored
coile. trimmed with black lace and em
broidered with butterflies and bunches of
white berries, and a plain black hat The
Dowager Duchess of Manchester (Consu
elo Yznaga), who was In the .royal box,
and with whom Queen Alexandra and the
Duke of Cambridge chatted, wore a pale
gray gown with lace trimmlnss. Princess
Radizwlll wore a fawn-colored gown and
a- black hat trimmed with a green feather,
and Lady Newborough (Miss Grace Carr.
of Kentucky), who, with Mrs. Adair, was
on the lawn and in the paddock, wore a
handsome dress, which was trimmed with
masses of point lace.
The gold vase of 200 sovereigns, given by
the Klnc for 3-year-olds was won by
George Faber's Ice Maiden. - Rocksand
(Maher) won the Coventry stakes. The
La Fleche filly (Martin) was second, and
Red Lily third. This cleared the way for
tho big race of the day, the Ascot stakes
handicap, of 20 sovereigns, which was won
by Scullion. Carabine finished second and
Rambling Katie ran third; 13 horses start
ed. In the race for the Prince of Wales
stake, Ard Patrick, the Derby winner,
was a hot favorite at 2 to 1 on. The

Westminster's Cup Bearer (M. Cannon)
won, J. Gubblns Ard Patrick (Martin)
second, Arthur James' Perseus (Maher)
third. Seven horses started. Cup Bearer

Tribute to Judge WIHinms.
Des Moines Register.
Hon. George H. Williams, who was. on
Monday last, elected Mayor of the City
of Portland, Or., has had an unusually
protracted public career. In April, 1S47,
55 years ago, he was elected the first
Judge of the First Judicial District of
Iowa then composed of the counties of
Lee, Des Moines, Louisa, Henry and
Washingtdn. After retiring from the
Judgeship at the end of five-years
term, he emigrated to the territory
of Oregon, which seemed at that time to
possess exceptional attractions for the
pioneers of Iowa, very many of them go
ing that way then. Among these was
Judge Cyrus Olney. who was another of
the First District Judges of Iowa. The
infiuence of Iowans on the politics and
legislation of their new home was quite
noticeable. The constitution of Oregon
bears many traces of the fact that its
makers were familiar with the first con
stitution of Iowa. Some years later
Judge Williams was elected to the Sen
ate from Oregon. Afterward President
Grant appointed him Attorncy-GeneraL
When Chief Justice Chase died, the Pres
ident tendered the place to Judge Will
iams, and his name was sent to the Sen
ate. It was subsequently withdrawn,
however. Since his retirement from the
Cabinet Judge Williams name has been
occasionally Introduced as that of a can
didate for the Senate again, and at the
protracted contest which last year re
sulted in the return of Senator Mitchell
to that body. Judge Williams received a
liberal support on several ballots. That
he will make a good Mayor for the me
tropolis of. Oregon will hardly be doubt
ed, even though he must now be an octo
genarian. Nebraska Republicanism.

had supported the Republican candidates
