Chicago, June 18. The Republican
convention convened at 10:17 this morn
ing. Tho committee submitted their
report and dralt of the platform. The
majority report ol the committee on the
platform was adopted by tho conven
tion. The platform contains an anti-lnjuiic
tlou plank, asking courts lo give labor a
hearing before granting writs of Injunc
tion. Favors the immediate admission
ol New Mexico and Arizona as separate
slates. Advocates permanent currency
system; amendments to Shermaj anti
trust law; enforcement railroad rebate
laws; extension' rural delivery; con
structlon ol roads at publio expense;
equal rights (or negroes; conservation
of natural resources and establishment
of a mining bureau.
The platform contains the follow
ing plank on tariff revision:

dlately (ollowing the work assigned to
tli appropriate committees, and coin
mends the steps already taken to this
end In Ilia work aolj-ncd lo the commit
tees of the two Uouies which are now
investigating the operatioua and effect
of existing schedules.
"In all tarrifl legislation the true
princlplo ol protection Is beat main
tallied by the Imposition ol soch duties
as will equal the differencs between the
cost of protection nt home and abroad,
together with a rcaronable profit to
American Industries, and the benefits
that follow are best secured by the es
tablishment of maximum and minimum
rates to be administered by tho l'resl
dent under limitations fixed in the law-,
the maximum to be able to lie available
to meet discriminations by foreign coun
tries against American gords entering
Ilicir markets, and tho minimum lo rep
resent the normal measure ol pro
lection at home, the aim and tho
purposo of the Republican party being
not only to. preserve, without excessive
duties, the security against foreign
competition to which American manu
facturers and producers are entitled,
but also to maintain the high standard
ol living of the wago earners of this
country, who arc the most direct
beneficiaries o( the protective system.
"Between the United fc'tatcs and the
Philippines, wo believe In a free inter
change of produc's with such limit
ations as to sugar and tobacco as will
avoid damage to domestic interests'"
Resides advocating revision of the
tariff, the platform endorsed President
Roosevelt's policies anil declares Ihe
Administration fearless and praises
the president (or curbing tho criminal
trusts. The history ol legislation under
the republican administration during
tho last (our years I reviewed at con
slderablo length.
I. Frank Adams is in tho city from
his ranch, He Is Inspecting tho work
being dono by tlie dredge on the experi
mental (arm and Is also completing ar
rangements (or the construction of a
dredge scow on the Upper lake.
Recent measurements ol the waler
flowing through tho Tuta lake outlet
show a decrease of a fuw second feet.
Several weeks ago the flow- was S3 sec
ond (eet, but at the last measurement It
was nlnteen (ee't. Thedecreato in. the
flow Is explained by those familiar with
Ihe conditions as being directly dun to
the (act that the take is getting lower,
and as the water recedes tho stream
through the outlet decreases.
There Is at this time no Indication
whatever that the water is running Into
a cave or cavityjlhat is likely to (111 up
but those who have been watching the
phenomenon are liecomlng convinced
that the water Unds its way through a
subterranean channel into some river
In California.
Engineers of the Reclamation Service
are kept informed a to the condition ol
the outlet, and it Is very likely that,
next Kar a considerable mm will be
set aside to enlarge the opening so that
It will bo ol practical use In the recla
mation of the Inundated lands In the
Tule lake basin.
There has been no work done on the
outlet sinco early in the spring, and it la
thought that the flow could lie again In
creased to 23 second (eet if a channel
were dug from the deeper water to the
opening. The lake is gradually getting
lower, but this is due to a measure only
to the outlet, for at this season of the
year the evaporation Increases and the
Inflowing water decreases, causing a
gradual receding of the lake.
