The flood situation at many points la critical. No loss of life Is reported. The Kaw river here has flooded Armourdnle and Argentine and the big packing plants are being closed. One-half of North Topeka Is under water and 500 people are seeking refuge in tho city proper. Train service is seriously demoralized. Jones' presence was not noticed. Even the arrival of Senator Dubois of Idaho, and ex-Senator Pettlgrew of South Dakota, who walked down the center of the hall together, failed to attract any attention, but when the Texas delegates marched double file down bearing the lone star flag, the crowd howled delightedly, wfclch broke the Ice and from then on there were sporadic bursts of applause as distinguished men or delegations arrived. Convention Called to Order. I Ex-Senator Towne offered a peti tion with 10,000 signatures demand ing the independence o'f the Philip pines. The committee approved the planks dealing with irrigation, separate state hood for territories, and election of senators by direct vote. Chairman Champ Clark's 'Speech. Mr. Clark, upon taking the stand, said: "Had King David been ln Chicago while Lodge was reading the republican platform, he would no doubt have reiterated the opinion that 'all men are liars,' for surely there never was more mendacity packed in to the same space in any document MORROW TREASURER SUICIDES. for June.

Llchtenthal, ex-county treasurer of Morrow county, committed suicide yesterday at the expiration of his term of office. The telephone line to Heppner is not In order today and it has been impossible to get any details of the suicide, further than that he was found dead at home, leaving no ex cuso for the deed. As far as is reported there Is noth ing wrong with the accounts, and his friends here arc at a loss to know .why ho should take this course. He leaves one marneu uuuguier and one single daughter by a first wife and one single daughter by his last wife, who survive him. He was a highly respected man, having held the office of county treasurer for three terms, having been defeated for the office at the recent election. He was formerly engaged ln the boot and shoe business at Heppner and is spoken of by Theodore Danner and T. W. Ayres of this city, as a model citizen and one wh6 would be considered free from any thoughts of suicide. Monthly Medal Shoot. At the monthly medal shoot of the Sportsmen's Association, next Sun day, a number of aspiring marksmen will endeavor to wrest the honor of holding the association medal from Fred walte.

Mr. Grady said the courts had de cided that Porto Itico is a part of the United States. "Once a part of the United States," he said, "It will never be a part of any other country." (Loud applause). "The supreme court," ho continued, "had declared the Philippines not a part of the United States. It is for those reasons tbe committee had ta ken the action it did. "South of Arkansas, declared mat tho opinion of the courts had never been approved by the democratic masses of the country. (Applause). South declared Porto Itlco, the Phil ippines and Hawaii are all entitled to receive recognition, and proposed an amendment giving tho same rights to the Philippines. His statement that the PhlllDDlnes are as much entitled to votes as Porto Itlco, was loudly ap plauded. Objections to Amendment, Congressman Handy of Delaware, objected to the amendment on the grounds tbat tho Philippines are not a part of the United States, and made a point of order against It Delegate South protested, declaring the convention could only reject the report of tho committee seating tho Porto Itlco 'members, and declined to withdraw his own amendment. Grady of New York, chairman of Uie rules committee, denied the com- mltteo had exceeded Its authority. Handy took the stand to argue tho point, when he said tho democratic party hoped the Philippines would ln time elect their own presldont. The convention cheered lustily. The question of adopting tho re port of tho committee as made was put to the convention and carried by a viva voce vote. Arkansas demanded a recall, which was voted down, and the head of the delegation from Porto Rico, Senor Mollnad, proceeded to the platform and addressed the convention, The coramlttoo on credentials an nounced ll would not be ready to ro al committees, that ovll-dJers be driven from public service and prop erly punished; that trusts shall bo proceeded against by Indictment, as are common and smaller criminals. "The doctrine that wherever tbe American flag floats It should con tinue to float, right or wrong; and that the only patriotism is to support Iloosuvelt's Philippine policy, if he has any, right or wrong, Is the veriest rot, as silly as a tale told by an Idiot. President Roosevelt Is not the coun try. The time has not arrived when the people will accept tho arrogant dictum of Louis XIV, repeated by an American president, 'I am the state.' " Democratic Crlngers. Clark denounced the cringing dem ocrats on tho other hand who said the president should bo supported in his Philippine policy oven if it is wrong. Has Roosevelt a policy7 Ho denied It, classing him as an opportunist, waiting for something to turn up. In the meantime our soldiers are being killed and are dying of disease in shoals, a president cannot be better than his party, and he, Roosevelt, could not find wdrso Swlitical compa ny this year, Clark denied emphatically tho charge that tho democratic party was in favor of freo trade. "Individ ual democrats there are who are free traders. Just as there are individual republicans who are atheists." Tariff Bolster for Trusts, Where tariff rates aro so high they enable American manufacturers to sell their wares abroad cheaper than they do to Americans hero at home, they ought to be reduced. "If this be anarchy or treason, make the most of it." Will some stand-patter explain why Americans should bo mado to pay one-third more for American steel rails than do the citizens of other na tions? He claimed tbat tho panic of 1893 was clearly a republican made panic Turning to American shipping, he said that "When tho American goes abroad ho must sail under a foreign flag on a foreign ship and under for eign offlcers. Why? llocauso our exorbitant tariff mado it lmposslblo tor Americans to build ships In com petition with tho British. Yet tho republican gang has the inflnlto gall to prnto about its patriotism." Whacking away at trusts, Clark enld that under republican inlsrulo trusts have sprung up Mo mush rooms. A Btraw that Indicated tho trusts have nothing to fear from re publican trust busters, was the ap pointment of Knox to succeed Quay. Another straw Is tho recent report that Wnll street opinion has under gone a change of opinion toward Roosevelt. Has tho president chang ed hta views or have tho trust mag nates changed theirs? Platform Will Be Conservative. St. Louis, July 7. The platform makers are proceeding with tho ut most deliberation. At 10 this morn lnc the subcommittco on resolutions went to work again. It Is their ex pectation to bo nblo to present tho platform to the full committee this afternoon nnd to procure Its speedy Indorsement and glvo It to tho con vention today, even though it bo necessary to have a night session for that purpose. The platform will bo strictly "con servative." without any reaffirmation of an:- of ltR predecessors. All Night Session In Sight. The sub-committee, on platfjrni re cessed from 1:30 until 2.
