Kalliere and Czar Have
Several Conferences.
REVAL. July 27. The harbor at
Reval was bathed In sunshine for the
meeting between Emperor Nicholas, of
Russia, and President Fallieres. of
France, which occurred this afternoon.
The ceremony was similar to the in
terview of King Edward end the Em
peror two weeks ago. The President
arrived here at 2 o'clock in the after
noon on the warship Verlte, which was
escorted 'toy the armored cruiser Dupont
Thouars and the gunboat Casslnl, and
found' awaiting him the principal part
of Russia's fighting fleet. Including the
battleships Slava and Tsarevitch and
the cruisers Bogatyr, Oleg and Admiral
Maknroff; drawn up in two lines.
Marseillaise Heard Once More.
The French squadron, -by making a
sweeping maneuver around the end of
the Russian line, took up an assigned
position between the two rows, the
Verlte dropping anchor midway be
tween the Emperor's yacht Standart
and the Dowager Empress' yacht Polar
Star, which by a special mark of favor
was assigned to Admiral Touchard, the
French ambassador to Russia, to be
used as his residence during the Presi
dent's interview.
As the French ships swung Into place
a series of salutes was fired and the
crews of both nations exchanged hearty
and prolonged cheers. The strains of
the Marseillaise, so long interdicted In
Russia on account of its revolutionary
connections, were heard on the quar
terdeck of the Imperial yacht Standart
and the Russian warships.
Exchange of Visits.
The Emperor Immediately sent Ad
miral DikofY, minister of marine, to bid
M. Fallieres welcome to Russia and
after a short interval the French Pres
ident, accompanied by his suite on a
gorgeous state barge towed by a
launch, proceeded to the Standart to
make the acquaintance of the Russian
Emperor. Emperor Nicholas met him
at the gangway and greeted him with
the greatest cordiality. M. Fallieres
was then presented to the Empress of
Russia, whose hand he kissed, after
which the Imperial children and the
members of the Russian squadron were
presented to him.
The French president wore conven
tional evening clothes with a Russian
order, and was a conspicuous figure
among the gorgeous uniforms of the
Russian officers.
Czar and President Confer.
The Emperor later returned the
President's visit on board the Verlte
and spent an hour inspecting the mod
ern French warship. The interchange
of visits lasted throughout the entire af
ternoon and they furnished the occa
sion for long Informal conversations
between M. Fallieres and Emperor
Nicholas.
A gala dinner was served tonight on
board the Standart.
CALL OLD PARTIES ROTTEN

editor, clad In (rock coat, but looking
cool despite tlie heat, bowed right and
left a he walked up the center aisle
and ascended the platform.
The hall was in an uproar as he
mounted the steps leading to the plat
form. He took no notice of the demon
stration, but, after remaining: on the
rontrum for about three minutes in
consultation with the secretary of the
convention, descended Into the body of
the hall, taking- a seat with the New
"York delegation. His action was a
signal for renewed cheering and the
delegates, shouting "Hearst!" "Hearst!"
immediately started on a parade
around the hall chanting the name of
the New York editor.
Two enthusiasts from California toft-ether
waved a small white banner bear
ing the name of their state so violently
that they snapped the staff, allowing the
head of the pole and the nag to fall upon
the press tables, to the peril of some of
the employes of Mr. Hearst's own papers.
A large gentleman of Teutonic extraction,
carried away by his enthusiasm, attempt
ed to stride along the press tables, but
they were not built for such weight as he,
and he soon sought safety In flight. The
parade continued for several minutes be
fore quiet was restored.
Priest Revlxew t'proar.
It was 35 minutes post" the scheduled
time when the temporary aergeant-at-arms
rapped for order and asked the dele
gates to vacate the aisles. Milton W.
Howard, of Alabama, took the gavel and
Introduced Charles A. Walsh; of Iowa,
eeretary of the provisional National com
mittee, who read the call of the conven
tion. This document declared tne purpose
tot the gathering to be the foundation
of an Independent party and the nam
ing of candidates for President and
Vie-President.
He was Interrupted by cries of
"Hearst." and. when one man in the
balcony cried "Bryan," a etorm of
hisses followed which were stilled by
the gavel.
Father O'Callaghsn, of Chicago, de
livered the invocation. His mention of
Mr. Hearst was received with an out
burst of applause and Mr. Hearst, when
he mounted the rostrum, escorted by a
committee appointed by the chair, was
given an uproarious reception.
The band struck up "The Star-Spangled
Banner" and the convention rose

en masse, cheering in wild applause.
The New York delegates gave repeated
chfers in honor of their leader, who
stood quiet and impassive, waiting for
the demonstration to subside. When
quiet had been restored he began his
address as temporary chairman of the
convention, speaking as follows:
Hearst's Opening Speech.
My Friends: This Is the first National
convention of th Independence party.
"Whether it shall prove aa historical event
or merely a pueing political Incident de
lnd upon the wisdom find patriotism with
which w shell deliberate and act.
If the men who met In Independence Hell
In Philadelphia on the Ftourth of July, 177.
bed hd within them say fee line of hei
tanoy, any disposition toward compromise or
conception, that day would now pass as any
other day upon the calendar. But the pa
tiints who assembled there bad couraae In
thatr hearts, determination in their minds,
fetch purpose In their souls, and the Fourth
of July ie saluted throa shout the world as
che birthday of liberty for ail men.
X1s too much, to say that our convention
can ever reach, the Importance of the Beo
ond Continental Cong-res, but the principle
they met to declare we meet to preserve,
and the liberties they assembled to bo cure
we have assembled to protect. I believe,
therefore, that we wtU do a aervlcs to our
fellow-cttizens second only to the Inestim
able service rendered by the founders of
this Government if we shall found a party
which will remain unfailingly faithful to
th cause of the people, to the principles of
'th Declaration, of Independence and to the
fundamental American Ideas ot liberty,,
equality and opportunity for all.
New Party Necessary.
I believe that. If any party Is necessary to
this country, to preserve the Government as
the fathers framed It, a new party is neces
sary; if any party Is necessary to promote
progress an(j prosperity, to encourage the
honest business man and to protect the hon
est worklnffman, a new party is necessary;
if any party Is necessary to represent the
typical American citizen, to represent the
people In their struggles with the tyrannical
monopolies which constitute the trusts, a
new party is necessary.
In 1792 Thomas Jefferson, who had penned
the principles ; of the Iecl a ration of Inde
pendence, founded the Democratic-Republican
party to perpetuate those principles.
In 1840 this party, founded to be the party
of liberty, had become the party of privi
leyo and the Democratic party came into
being and crystallised about the personality
and principles of Andrew Jackson. In 1854
the Democratic party had become the prop
erty of an arrogant aristocracy, which de
nounced the self-evident truth of the Declar
ation of. Independence as "self-evident lies.'
Then the Republican party was born to re
store the action of the Government to the
principles of Washington and Jefferson and
Abraham Lincoln led it to victory.
Is it not time. Is there not need, for a
new party which shall take up the work of
the parties of Jefferson, of Jackson, of Lin
coln and preserve for us and for the citi
zens of the future the rights and liberties
which these parties in their hour of use
fulness preserved for the citizens of their
time?
Both Old Parties Decadent.
The old parties. In this day of their de
cadence, are no longer equal to this work,
for they have become unfaithful to the prin
ciples which inspired them and unworthy
of the patriots who founded them. The Re
publican party Is the open-handed, avowed
hand-maiden of the trusts. It scorns those
who would rescue It, repudiates those who
would reform It, and glories brazenly in
Its profitable Infamy. The Democratic party
is merely envious of Its sordid sister s ill
gotten finery. It upbraids her at one elec
tion and Imitates her at the next.
The Republican leaders are the political
attorney's of the trusts and monopolies, the
representatives in public life of those giant
corporations which have superseded the
people In this republic as the source of
power and the seat of authority. The Demo
cratic vanguard is a Falstaff's army. It Is
led by a knight arrayed In a motley of
modified professions and compromised prin
ciples, of altered opinion and retracted
statements.
Baud of Boodlers and Bravos.
Mr. Hearst at this point in his ad
dress mentioned the names of Sullivan,
Hopkins, Murphy, McClellan, Taggart,
Ryan, Belmont, Bailey and Williams,
describing them as officers . of the
Democratic vanguard and designating?
them by most uncomplimentary terms.
He then resumed as follows:
A Falstaff's army, whose banner bears on
one side a watchword for the people and on
thn other a password for the trusts, whose
only object Is office at any cost, whose
motto Is "after us the deluge."
Assuming that Mr. Bryan himself Is all
that his most ardent admirers claim him to
be, a great lawyer, an enlightened states
man, an inspired patriot, still a man is
known by the company h keeps, and no
decent Democrat can tolerate his free com
panions. No citizen can let down the bars
of office to such an All's band of boodlers
and bravos.
No prudent citizen will support a combina
tion to which Taggart supplies a credit and
Parker a platform, for which Bryan will pay
the freight, and the people will pay the
penalty. Back of both parties and underlying
each are those Captain Kldds of Industry,
those highwaymen of high finance, who re
alize that to plunder safely the people's purse
they must first possess the people's govern
ment. Offered 3100,000 Bribe.
When I was running for Governor in New
York an emissary of one of the biggest men
in Wall street called ou me and said his
client offered to contribute 1 00,000 to my
campaign fund and to raise f 100,000 more
If my views were reasonable in regard to
honest business.
I told the emissary that the offer was de
clined with thanks. I said that the gentle
men making It were merely proposing to
waste their good' money, for whatever busi
ness was honest I would deem It my duty as
a public official to promote and encourage It
without any f 1O0.0OO bribes, and whatever
business was dishonest not all the money In
Wall street would influence my attitude to
ward It. I merely mention this incident to
show what I believe should be the attitude
of any honest candidate and the policy of
any honest party.
No lawyer would serve his client honestly
who would receive a retaining fee from tne
opposite side, and no party can honestly rep
resent the citizens where their interests con
flict with the exactions of the trusts. If it
be contaminated by a corporation fund and
subsidized into silence and subserviency.
Policy for New Party.
t urge our party to take a broad and liberal
stand toward the legitimate business enter
prises of the country, but to distinguish be
tween honest business everywhere and those
criminal concerns which plunder through po
litical pull and pay for political protection.
Good wine needs no bush and honest business-
needs no bribe. Honest, business and
prosperity are almost synonymous terms. As
one develops the other increases; when one Is
unduly disturbed the other falls.
Reforms must be made as the country de
velops and the people progress, but these
reforms should be carrrled out by those in
authority without spite or prejudice, without
egotism, sensationalism or without a brass
band or a big stick.
Not all who ask to be let alone really
want to be let alone. The thief may well ask
to be let alone in his thievery, but the legiti
mate business man should ask for all the
encouragement that an intelligent business
administration can properly provide. It 4s a
fundamental function of government to keep
the peace and to keep the peace it must in
terfere to prevent fraud and violence and ex
tortion sad oppression. Tt la a fundamental
function ot government to maintain morality
but to maintain morality It must interfere to
secure a public morality as well as a personal
morality.
Wants Constructive Platform.
It 1. a lorltlmata and proper function of
the Government to - promote conditions that
will Increase wealth and brlrtgr about a Just
distribution of wealth; that will eecure la
creased profit of business men and Insure a
fair division of profits far bones worklnamen.
We aU want prosperity and, what Is more.
we want prosperity for all.
I urfre our party, therefore, to be int.Ul-g-ently
and courageously constructive, not
merely obstructive, like th. Republican party,
nor destructive, like the Democratic party.
The Republican platform says nothing and
means nothing;. It is a platform of statis
tical invention and political evasion. It la
obviously the product of a party whose sole
purpose is to stand pat and whose sole desire
is to stay pat. The Demooratlc platform con
tains some irood and original things, but, as
has been said, the original things are not
good and the good things are not original.
It was built by political Jackdaws who
feathered thtr nests with the plumes of
others without understanding their signld
canc. or intention as to their performance.
It is the habitation of a hermit crab, which
has no slwll of Its own and invades th
first convenient one without regard to prop
erty or propriety. It is a platform, too, ot
reconciliation and retraction, of atonement
and apology, of harmony and hypocrisy, for
in compliance with a former compact Parker
has pronounced peace. Bill Bailey has
poured Standard Oil upon th troubled wa
ters and Bryan haa killed not only th.
fatted calf but the koom that laid the
golden egg.
' Cannot Serve Two Masters.
No man oan serve two masters, and no
man can conciliate th. conflicting e!enoents
of the Democratic party. lie who trie,
must serve one and deoelve the other, must
make public pretense to the people and
piivat. compact with the trusts.
Our party Is not a party ot factions or
cliques or classes. We have - no warring
wings to paoify ; no contradictory declarations
to modify: no corrupt bosses to satisfy. Let
us act boldly and speak plainly. Let us
make a platform mo clear and so sincere
that ery cltlxen will understand our po
sition and hate confidence in our intention.
Let ua nominate candidates from among the
many men here present whose lives and
deeds ape a guarantee of the genuineness
of their attitude a pldge of tne sincerity

Bryan as Knight In Motley.
Mr. Hearst delivered his address with
Intense earnestness, driving home his
points In an emphatic manner that car
ried the convention with him. His de
scription of. Mr. Bryan as the "Knight
In Motley" called forth great laughter.
and his reference to others also caused
laughter. At the conclusion of his ad
dress he was given an ovation that con
tinued for several minutes.
After Mr. Hearst, James 0"Neil, of
Rhode Island, presented to the temporary
chairman a "union label' gavel. Another
gavel was presented by J. O. Bush, ot
New York. While the latter was speak
ing a delegate in the rear called:
J'Has that gavel got the label on it?"
Mr. Hearst then made a brief speech of
acceptance.
Reuben B. iLyon, of New York, was
called to the chair and directed the sec
retary to read the membership lists of
the various convention committees. It
was announced that all the committees
could meet immediately after the adjourn
ment of the convention. There are no
contests for seats and the business be
fore all the committees, with the excep
tion of that on resolutions, was expected
to be largely perfunctory.
After an address by C. A. Wlndle, of
Chicago, the convention adjourned until
2 o'clock tomorrow.
The committee on rules and permanent
organization which met after the con
vention selected Charles H. Walsh, ot
Iowa, as permanent chairman and adopt
ed a rule that no speech from the plat
form should exceed Ave minutes In length
and that no delegate should be heard
upon one subject more than once.
The committee on resolutions organised
by electing Howard S. Taylor, of Chi
cago, as chairman.
CANDIDATES GROWING BIST
Hlsgen May Gain w York Votes
AVhen Long WlthdravrB.
CHICAGO, July 27. The followers of
the various Presidential candidates for
the Independent nomination were busy
early today. There seemed to be con
siderable enthusiasm among the follow
ers of Htogen and Howard and much
optimism was shown by the adherents
of other candidates.
Hlsgen, who has shown considerable
strength, especially among the Eastern
delegates, seemed highly pleased over
the outlook today.
"I have reoelved pledges of support,"
be said, ''from many of the delegations,
and although I cannot say the conven
tion will select me, I know I will have
a trood following on the first ballot, and
believe I will make a better showing en
the second, if one Is taken."
Milton W. Howard, of Alabama, ex
pressed himself In a similar manner.
The New York delegation, some of Its
members declare, will not make a strong
and continued fight for Reuben R. Long,
of that state. He will be given a compli
mentary vote on the. first ballot, and

after that the New York people prob
ably will place their strength else
where. It Is known that Hlsgen ex
pects a material gain from this direc
tion. The Nevada people brought with them
the first Vice-Presidential boom. It waa
that of General J. C. Hagerman, of Ne
vada, and his delegation- declared they
would make a strong fight In his behalf.
The Western delegates also brought
with them a resolution which denounces
the Government for selling public power
to private parties, in the particular In
stance of the Roosevelt dam In the
West, where they claim that the Govern
ment sells electric power costing 2 cents
per kilowatt for eight to ten times that
sum.
Among the arrivals of the day were
"General" Jacob Coxey, who is a dele

lets and papers prepared to make a plea

A motion was presented providing that
the delegates now In the city prepaxa a

the trround that It was considered deslr
abr that the entire body of delegates
should have something to say regarding
the formation of the platform. If they

A resolution providing that a commit

CLOSE ON PROHIBITION
It Texas Submits Bill, Majority Will
Be Small.
DALLAS, July 27. Additional returns
received account for about one-half the
vote cast in last Saturday's Democratic
primary. They make it certain that Gov
ernor Campbell has been renominated
by a majority of about "5,000 and that At
torney-General Davidson has also been
renominated by a majority which may
reach 25,000.
Returns so far to hand show a major
ity against the proposition to submit a
prohibition bill, but the margin is so nar-
now that it will require the full count
to determine what the result has been.
J. L. Robinson, for Land Commissioner;
B. S. Cousins, for Superintendent of Pub
lic Instruction; A. B. Davidson, for
Lieutenant-Governor, and A. B. Colquitt,
for Railroad Commissioner, have been
nominated. . There is still doubt as to
the outcoms of the contest for Con

As Consul Lopes was going from his

government, saying that he had re
ceived a cablegram yesterday from The
Hague approving his note and instruc

with President Castro, but this is Im
possible, as diplomatic relations be
