BCTTK. Mont.. June 20. There will
be contesting delegations claiming ad
mission from Montana at the demo
cratic national convention in Kansas
City.
The democratic state convention was
called to meet iere at noon. An hour
before that time the state central com
mittee met to make arrangements. The
friends of Senator Clark on the com
mittee, including those who held prox
ies, were in the majority. Chairman
W. M. Cockrill of the state committee
refused to recognise the proxies and
appointed in the places of the absen
tees men knowa to be favorable to
Daly.
The scene In the room at this time
was very wild. A number of deputy
sheriffs, under the leadership of Cn-der-Sheri.T
Murphy, attempted to eject
the Clark people. For awhile it looked
Jlke an incipient riot. The Clark people
finally withdrew. '
Chairman Cockrill was deposed by a
vote of the committee and John S.
Xelll was elected. The delegates then
assembled at the Auditorium, which
Cockrill had selected as the place of
meeting.
They found the doors barred and
the place In charge of a number of
deputy sheriffs acting under the direc
tion of the Daly people. The Clark
delegates then went to the Grand Opera
House, where the convention was called
to order shortly after 5 o'clock. E. C.
Day, -who voted for Clark, was made
temporary chairman. After the ap
pointment of the usual committees the
convention adjourned until 10 o'clock
tomorrow.
Tin Daly people, representing nine
counties three of them regular and
the others contested met In the Audi
torium at the same hour, and State
Senator H. L. Myers, who voted against
Senator Clark in the legislature, was
made temporary chairman. After the
armolntment of the usual committees
the convention adjourned until 8 o'clock
tonight.

Greatest of all markets Is China. Our

The democratic attitude toward tn
Philippines rests wholly upon the prop

neither the capacity nor the honesty to

THE PLATFORM.
"The republicans of the L'nlted States,
through their chosen representative,
met in national convention, looking
back upon an unsurpassed record of
achievement and looking forward Into
a great field of duty and opportunity,
and appealing to the judgment of their
countrymen, make these dfclarathiis:
"The expectations in which the Amer
ican people, turning from the demo
cratic party, entrusted the power of the
L'nlted States four years ago to a re
publican chief magistrate and a repub
lican congress, have been met and sat
isfied. When the people then assembled
at the polls, after a term of democrat
ic legislation nnd administration, busi
ness was dead. Industry paralyzed and
the national credit disastrously Im
paired. The country's capital was hid
den away and Its labor distressed and
unemployed.
"The democrats hail no other plan
with which u Improve the ruinous
conditions which they had thems.-lves
produced, than to coin silver at the
ratio of IS to I. The republican party,
denouncing this plan as sure to produce
conditions even worse thun those from
which relief w.is sought, promised to
restore prosperity by means of two
legislative measures a protective tar
Ifi and .1 law making gold the stand
ard of value.
"The people, by gnat majorities, is
sued to the republican party a com
mission to enact these laws. This com
mission has been executed, and the re
publican pledge Is redeemed, and pros
perity more general and more abund
ant than we have ever known has
followed these enactments.
WHAT REPUBLICANS HAVE DONE,
"There Is no longer any controversy
as to the value of any government ob
ligations. Every American dollar Is a
good dollar or its equivalent, and Amer
ican credit stands higher than that of
any nation. Capital is fully employed,
and everywhere labor Is profitably oc
cupied. No single fact can more
strikingly tell the story of what repub
lican government means to the country
than this that while during the who e
period of !8 years, from 1S01 to 1M7,
there wus an excess of exports over Im
ports of only 33,02X,4i7. There haa
been In the short three years of the
present republican administration an
'excess of experts over Imports In the
enormous mini of l,483,7aS,0I9, and
while the American people, sustained
by this republican legislation, have
been achieving these splendid triumphs
In their trade and commerce, they have
conducted and in victory concluded, a
war for liberty and human rights.
''No thought of national aggrandise
ment tarnished the high purpose with
which American standards were unfurl
ed. Jt was a war unsought and pa
tiently rcMcted, but when It came the
American government was ready. Its
fleets were cleared for action. Its arm
ies were In the field and the quick and
signal triumph of its forces on land
and sea bore equal tribute to the cour
age of American soldiers and sailors,
and to the foresight of republican
statesmanship. To ten millions of the
human race tlKfre was given "a new
birth of freedom," and to the American
people a new and noble respnHibillty.
M'ICINLEY'S ADMINISTRATION.
"We Indorse the administration of
William McKlnley. Its acts have been
established In wisdom and In patriot
Ism, and at home and abroad it has
distinctly elevated and extended the In-llu'-nee
of the American nation. Walk
ing untried paths and facing unfore

true American patriot and upright
statesman, clear in vision, strong In

CURRENCY QUESTION.
"We renew our allegiance to the
principle of the gold standard, and de
clare our confidence In the wisdom of
the legislation-of theTlfty-slxth congress.-
by which the parity of alj of
our money and the stability of our
currency on a gold basis has been se

PHILIPPINE QUESTION,
"In accepting, by tho treaty of Paris,
the responsibility of our victories In
the f ranlah war, the president and the
senate won the undoubted approval of
tho American people. No other course
was poB.slble than to destroy Spain's
sovereignty throughout the West In

"That course created our responsi

bo the Twcnty-Hfond Infantry. Tho
Sixth cavalry, now In the Cavlte prov
ince, will be distributed In the country
formerly protected by thu Ninth and
Twenty-Second Infantry.
Chagrin I expressed that Oenoral
MueArthur cannot turt the Ninth rgl
merit before next Sunday, and that tho
United Slate must be represented al
together by naval force until (he last
day of June at least. Of the 3s) muii
comprising the crew of the Newark.
H were at PeUln. lot wer with Cap
tain McCallu In tho International col
umn, and as nearly one hundred are
non-combatants In the flre-rooin force
of that vessel, there remained only 160
fighting men to guard the ship. Per
haps that fait would explain why,
according to report from Taku, the
Newark landed no men to assault th
fort on Sunday morning.
Tho Oregon will not reach Taku for
at least a week or 10 day, aa she will
be compelled to pr?rd cautiously on
account of her draught. The Irl from
Manila will carry no men but I sent
solely to furnish supplies to the Meet.
The gunboat Princeton and Mariet
ta will probably start from Cavlte on
Wednesday to Join Admlrnl Kempff.
The Zaflro, which Admiral lewey pur.
clus.-d at flong Kong In April, 1SKS, Is
simply a Meet tender with little cnpucl
ty for carrying m mi or stores, but
might be useful a a disputi h boat
that can bo ordered t- Taku as a goner,
til utility transport.
The order of Colonel I.lscum, of tho
Ninth Infantry, direct him to prone 1
to Pekln for the relief and protection
of the American legation, and to take
subsequent orders from Minister Con
ger. I'.eyond thl he has the fullest dis
cretion and will be governed by circum
stance as he finds them. He is ex
pectud t confer with the Amerlcun
ai'.'iilrul on reaching Taku, whoso us
rlHtance he will have, if he need It,
for lauding hi expedition. It Is also
thought that Colonel Llscum will not
hesitate to act concurrently with other
forces which he llnds at Tien Tsln
and which, like his own, are bound for
the same destlnutl.Mj. '
If the Princeton and the Marietta
Join Admiral Kempff, us seems probable
now, he will have at his command a
more numerous and effect I vo Meet of
gunboats, adapted to service on the
Pel Ho river as far up as Tien Tsln,
than any of the other naval powers
there represented.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 20,-Mrs. A.
P. Lowrle, a Presbyterlnn missionary
who ha been stationed at Pao Ting
Fu for the last six year, arrived here
on the Doric She reports that on the
night of May 18 many natlvn Chris
tians, principally women and children,
were murdered by the lingers while
fleeing from Pao Ting toward Tien
Tsln. This wa about 10 mile from
Mrs. Lowrle' station, which was not
disturbed. The native Christians had
been attacked on May 15, but success
fully repulsed tho horde of murderers,
but In trying to reach Tbrn Tsln, the
following night, were overtaken and
murdered, and the Boxers then re
turned to Pao Ting and burned all the
houses of their, victims.
NEW YORK, June 20,-In the cur

While contemplating the existing dis
turbances, It muRt be remembered that
almost always there are riots or In

are caused by populer discontent, which
Is produced by deluge,, famines and
short crops. The government is held
reHponslblo for these misfortunes, and,
In order to effect It Injuriously, the
simplest and most effective method
to pursue Is to attack the Christian con
verts and foreigners. By the treaties
the converts to Christianity must bo
protected, and the foreign powers do
not fall to go to their assistance when
ever they are attacked.
In 1897, Germany landed marine and
took possession of the province of Shan
Tung, Russia, which had promlsud to
protect China against all hr enemies.
