Teller Will Not Support a Gold
Plant
St. Louis, June IT. The most striking
Incidents of the day were not In the
convention, although the proceedings
were a trifle more animated than yes
terday, but In the rooms of the com
mittee on resolutions, where Senator
Teller declared that he could no longer
remain In the Uepubllcan ranks after
It had been committed to the single
gold standard. The high personal es
teem the members of the committee en
tertained for Mr. Teller and the hear
felt regret he so plainfully showed In
being compelled to sever life-long ties
gave to the scene unusual Interest. To
that extent It was dramatic, but it was
more pathetic than anything else, be
cause It was evident Mr. Teller took
this course as a matter of conscience
nnd principle and without any other
reason. This was fully understood and
It wns for thin reason his associates ex
hibited equal marks of friendship and
regret. Notwithstanding that this was
a family quarrel In which two factions
were arrayed against each other, it was
characterized by a genuine interchange
of courtesies which robbed it of all the
bitterness which usually accompanies
a party schism. Senator Frank Can
non, of Utah, still In the thirtieth a
Republican from boyhood and deeply
attached to the principles of the party
exhibited almost equal feeling at the
termination of his political animations.
Notwithstanding the radical position
assumed by the silver men, it Is no
ticeable that only four senators Tel
ler, Dubolj and Cannon and Mr. Cleve
land of Montana announced that they
would leave the party. Two other mem
bers of the committee. Representative
Hartman, of Montana, and Dr. Mott,
of North Carolina, stated that they
were still Republicans and would stick
to the party. When the convention ad
journed till tomorrow Instead of taking
a recess until 8 p. m., as It was expected
to do. In order to hear the report of the
committee on resolutions, which It was
stated would be ready by that hour,
rumors were circulated In the conven
tion hall that this course had been
taken because several states had
threatened to bolt because of the finan
cial plank. Invertigation failed to dis
close any foundation for these rumors.
The vote of Gttft to 3mi by which the
convention at the bidding of the cre
dentials committee refused to re-open
any contested cases settled by the na
tional committee clearly showed that
the Ohio lenders had the convention
well In hand, even In matters where
many of the delegates felt a strong per
sonal Interest.
Members of the committee on reso
lutions expressed much Indignation to
night that in a cabled account of the
plalf'irin published this morning they
should have Wen represented os de
claring war against Spain tjyplulgltig
the Republican nominee to armedtnter
ventlon in Cuba. They state that the
language employed In the platform
simply pledges the good ofllces of the
United States to bring about a peace
ful settlement. t
A McKINLEY PARADE.
The big McKlnley parade tonight,
though' delayed by a. thunderstorm,
came off eventually. There was a very
large number of clubs In line and the
display was as effective, as abundance
of red lire, music, numerous banners
and McKlnley pictures and cheers and
general enthusiasm could make it. A
new march, composed for the occasion,
was played with success.
MARTIN'S CHANCES.
Mr. Milholland and other anti-Platt
men, of the New York delegation, are
still of the opinion that Mr. Piatt will
endeavor to bring about the nomina
tion of Governor Morton for the vice
presidency.
SCENES AT THE SESSIONS.
Unvels Mndd from Ilistorirnl Wood
Arc Presented to the Chairman.
St. Louis, June 17. There was the
usual delay In calling the convention to
order for the afternoon session, but the
watting time . was pleasantly whlled
away by strains of sweet music. There
was great pressure in all parts of the
Immense hall, the galleries were packed
and there, as well as on the floor, palm
leaf fans were in ceaseless agitation.
The heat was very oppressive.
It was 2.45 when the chairman's (Mr.
Thurston) hammer knocked for order
and announced that the afternoon ses
sion would be opened with prayer by
Bishop Arnett, of Wllbrforce college,
Ohio. The bishop Invoked blessings on
the conventlpn and on the country and
gave thanks for an assemblage repre
senting the culture, the wealth and the
refinement of more than forty centuries.
He gave thanks that God had-lven to
the country a Lincoln who broke the
fetters from the limbs 01 more .'than
four and s halt millions of people. . He
prayed that the victory to be gained in
the future through the work of the con
vention might rwdound to the blessing
of every section, and that protection
nil liberty and civil p.tm! oolitic! r!pVf
may be secured to every man, woman
and child from the lakes of the north
to the gulf of the south.
Mr. Madden, of Chicago, was recog
nised by the chair for a special purpose.
Mr. Madden then, in appropriate terms,
presented a gavel made from a portion
of the house in which Lincoln once
lived.
The chairman in accepting it ex
pressed the hope that the Inspiration of
the immortal Lincoln might Are the
hearts of the convention to higher pa
triotism. Judge Denny, of Kentucky, presented
a second gavel made from the wood
which formed part of the homestead of
Henry Clay, the father of protection.
Temporary Chairman Fairbanks re
sponded, expressing his gratification
that the state of Henry Clay had en
tered the Republican fold and trusted it
would be found true to the standard
bearer of this great convention in No
vember next. A voice In the hall ex
claimed. "By twenty-five thousand."
Mr. Torrence, of Minnesota, then pre
sented, in the name of that state, to the
chairman of the convention, the table
which stood In front of the presiding
officer In 1892.
In accepting the table the president
sent back word to the boys of Minne
sota that even us the father of the re
public handed the union down, so would
the Republican party of today hand
down the government under Republi
can Institutions, with all rights and
privileges and opportunities for the
boys to come. (Cheers.)
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.
The report of the committee on cre
dentials was then presented by its
chairman, Mr. Fort, of New Jersey.
The report was In favor of seating
the Hlgglns delegates from Delaware
and the delegates-at-large and dele
gates from Texas on the list headed by
John Grant.
The rest of the report, read by the sec
retary, recommended that the roll of
delegates and alternates of the con
vention from the several states and
territories as prepared by the national
committee for the tomporary organi
sation be approved as the permanent
roll of this convention.
Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, was recognized
to present the minority report from the
committee qn credentials. It recom
mended the seating of the Addicks dele
gation from Delaware and of the Cuney
delegation from Texas, and that the
other contested cases acted upon by the
national committee be referred to the
credentials committee for full Investi
gation. The minority report was signed by
nineteen members of the committee.
In presenting It Mr. Hepburn assert
ed that none of the contestants, except
those from Delaware and Texas, had
had any hearing before the committee
on credentials, and in those two cases
not one word of the, testimony had been
read and no member of the convention
knew what the merits of the cases
were.
More than 160 Republicans claiming
to be delegates with their credentials,
were now asking to be heard In order
that the merits of their cases might be
proprly ascertained.
It was a bad precedent, he declared,
to permit the national committee to
pass final judgment on the election and
qualification of delegations.
It was a dangerous exercise of power
and one that should not be submitted
to. The minority therefore recom
mended that the delegation from Dela
ware, headed by Addicks, and the dele
gates from Texas, headed by Mr. Cuney,
be seated, and that as to all the other
contested efectlon casts, they be re
committed to the committee on creden
tials, with instructions to perform its
duty. This motion wns seconded by
Mr. J. Doyle, of Georgia, and by an un
identified delegate from Ohio.
Mr. Mudd, of Maryland, asked for a
separate vote on the Delaware report
and was seconded by the states of Dela
ware, Cnllfornha and Maine.
THE ROLL CALL.
The question being now on the order
ing of the previous question, the dele
gation from Maine seconded by Massa
chusetts, Maryland and Iowa, demand
ed a roll call.
The roll of rtates was then called and
resulted as follows: Yeas. aKt; nays,
3BOV4, so the previous question was or
dered. Pennsylvania voted: Aye, 5;
nay, 59. New Jersey: Aye, 20. The
votes of Alabama. Florida, Georgia.Illl
nois and Texas were challenged, and
on a poll of the delegates the votes of
the dele-atlon as announsed by the
chairman was changed. When" Iowa
announced that It casts Its twenty-six
votes against ordering the previous
question there was so much "cheering
that the chair remnrked that- he de
sired on all occasions to give oppor
trinity for the exuberant spirits of the
convention to find vent, but he must
ask that this be done in reasonable
time. When Mlpsourl was reached, Mr.
Neidrlnghaus. one of the delegates-at-
large, was absent and a question arose
as to calling his alternate. Chauncey
I. Filley rose to speak to this point and
was greeted with a round of applause,
which Indicated that his personal
popularity had not been entirely de
stroyed by his recent political "turn
ing down." The alternate, Mr. Beneck,
was found In the body of the hall and
his vote was recorded. When Mr. Piatt
rose to cast the vote of New York, he
was alBO greeted with lusty cheering.
Mr. Fort, chairman of the committee,
was recognized and moved the previous
question, the report, of the committee,
down to the final vote, under the rules
of the house of representatives.
The chairman of the committee on
resolutions was recognized and report
ed that the platform would be ready at
8 p .m Discussion was then commenced
under the pre'vlous question on the ma
jority and minority reports, each side
being allowed twenty minutes.
MR. FORT'S REMARKS.
Mr. Fort, of New Jersey, opened the
discussion. He said that the minority
of the committee made their proposi
tions first, to open all the contested
cases; second, to seat the Addicks dele
gates from Delaware and, third, to Beat
the Cuney delegation from Texas.
The committee had recommended
that the Hlgglns delegation In the Dela
ware case be seated because the dele
gates headed by Addicks did not repre
sent the Republicans of Delaware or
anywhere else. (Applauue and laugh
ter.) "The fact of the matter Is simply
this," said Mr. Fork: "A majority of
the national committee believed under
rontimied on Pus I)

MR. TELLER'S IMPRESSIVE SPEECH
The Loyal Senator from Colorado
Bid His Party Farewell at a Meet
tag of the Platform Committee,
t'nnaon, Dubois and Ilartniaaa
follow Suit.
St. Louis, June 17. It was 10:30 when
Chairman Foraker called the full com
mittee on resolutions together. The
platform was read by paragraphs, the
agreement being that each paragraph
should be voted upon separately. The
preamble was objected to and the
phraseology was ordered to be changed
so that the wording of the paragraph
should be less obscure.
Mr. Teller, of Colorado, arose and
stated that he prepared a minority re
port on the financial plank, which he
would present when that subject was
reached. The remainder of the plat
form, he added, was entirely satisfac
tory to him.
The tariff plank wus agreed to unan
imously.
The sugar plunk was Anally adopted
precisely in the words sent out by the
United States early this morning. A
strong declaration was made for a pro
tective duty on wools and woolens. The
protection of American ship-bulldtng
and the development of American com
merce were also demanded.
All of Mr. Teller's amendments to the
financial plank were voted down.
A PATHETIC SCENE.
There was a pathetic scene In the
committee room when the financial
plank was reached and Senator Teller,
of Colorado, presented his minority re
port. It took the form of a substitute
and declared In general terms for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
a ratio of W to 1. Senator Teller spoke
for three nUnutes. His utterances were
followed . with deep Interest? for all
present realized that the hour had ar
rived when one of the founders of the
Republican party, a man who has been
conspicuous in Republican councils for
a third of a century, was taking a step
which would separate him from his par
ty friends.
Mr. Teller spoke with deep emotion
and the sincerity of his purpose was so
manliest that his words produced a
deep impression.
He spoke of his long connection with
the Republican party. It was the party
of his young manhood; the party of
his choice. It was, . tha.; narty . . with
which, he had affltliated for thirty-five
years. It was a party that had given
him greathonors and he had served it
loyally., "But," he exclaimed. In a Ice
of deep earnestness, "(he time has come
when I shall be obliged to leave It, if
it declares for the single gold stand
ard." He acknowledged In conclusion that
he had not originally Intended to speak
at such length, but that he was carried
away by the Importance of his subject.
It was purely a matter, of conscience
and principle. There was no question
of personal ambition involved. He
might be wrong; he believe.d nbt. Time
alone could tell whether htf.. it the
framers of this plank were rlgHt.
OTHER STATES WILL BE LOST.
Mr. Cleveland, of Nevada, asserted
that with such a plank his state could
not be kept In the Republican column.
Mr. Cannon, of t'tah, like Mr. Teller,
created a profound sensation by the
earnestness of his remarks. His voice
was choked with emotion several times,
and he proceeded with great difficulty.
He pointed out that Utah had been con
verted from, a Democratic territory Into
a Republican state, but that It would
be lrretrlcval: f lost If the party were
committed to the gold standard,
Mr. Dubois, of Idaho, also announced
that he would follow his associates,
Messrs. Teller and Cannon, In leaving
the party, although he regretted that
necessity comrelled him to take this
step. He spoke at some length of the loy
alty of the extreme Western states to the
Republican party Each has two Re
publicans in the senate, but the seme
could not be said of many of the eastern
states, whose representatives weiv
adopting a course that was driving the
silver men from their party associates.
-If this gold plank was adopted, the Re
publican party, would, he said, lose
control of the senate nnd not regain It
In a quarter of a century.
Before a vote was taken on Mr. Tel
ler's sixteen to one substitute, Mr. Dar
lington, of Pennsylvania arose and re
plied specifically to gienator Teller's
declaration that the Republican party
had fallen under the dominion of Lom
bard and Wall streets.
Mr. Hartman, of Montana, boldly an
nounced that he could not and would not
support a candidate standing on this
platform. The Republican platform In
1892 had declared for gold and silver as
the standard money. This platform
contained a declaration for gold only
and the silver men demanded both. The
silver men stood by the party principles
and until such time as the party might
return to the double standard they could
not support its candidate. Mr. McKln
ley was an hor.ost man and would hon
estly Interpret the platform. The silver
men were not antagonizing men but
principles in this struggle and in this
campaign McKlnley would stand for
gold.
Ma Fessenden, of Connecticut, ex
plained why It was necessary to adopt
the gold plank and expressed his regret
at this difference of opinion within the
party.
RESULT OF THE VOTE.
The vote wns then taken on the Teller
substitute and It was defeated ayes 10,
noes 41. Those voting In the affirmative
were the delegates from Colorado, Cali
fornia, Utah, Montana, Idaho, Wyo
ming, Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina
and New Mexico.
Before the sense of the committee
was taken on the gold plank, Mr Lafod
lette, of Wisconsin, arose to a personal
explanation. He directed attention to
a statement made by Mr. Teller that
himself and Mr. Gear, of Iowa, had per
formed the principal work in the prepa-

Portland, Me., June 17. The Demo
cratic state convention met here today
and elected the following delegates-at-large
to the national convention: Dr.
S. C. Gordon. John Scott, Frederick
Plalsted and Charles W. Snow. The
financial plank of the platform de
clares: That under the present conditions there
can be but one standard of value ami that
every kind of currency should rest upon
a gold basis so long as gold Is the stand
ard recognized by the great commercial
nations of the world, and that our present
standard should n.ver be departed from
except by international agreement and we
are therefore opposed to the free coinage
of silver as tending to the debasement of
the currency. We realise that this is a
silver producing country and we would
favor as large a use of that metal In our
circulatlng.mcdium only as Is consistent
with a stuble monetary system and we be
lieve that the money of whatever kind
coined or Issued by the government or by
its authority should be equally good, and
equally lntcrchangear.p one with the other
and be of equal purchasing and debt pay
ing power.
Chairman Johnson In closing his ad
dress named William E. Russell as the
choice of the Democrats of Maine for the
presidency.
Edward R. Wlnslow, of Portland, was
nominated for governor by acclamation.
When the majority report of the com
mittee on resolutions was presented it
declared for a gold standard unless some
other standard should be adopted by in
ternational agreement.
A minority report- favoring the plac
ing of fwo metals on an equality was
.also submitted.
"This participated a hot fight and the
convention got beyond the control of the
chairman, everybody trying to speak at

was stated that the majority report was
only adopted in committee by a vote of
7 to 6.
Finally It was decided to take a vote
by roll call of counties and the result
was that the majority report was adopt

London, June 17. A dispatch received
here today reports that the British
steamer Drummond Castle, which
sailed from Table Bay May 28 for thU

The Castle Steamship company at
midnight tonight had received no
further news regarding the sinking of
the Drummond Castle.
Among the passengers on the Drum

EARTHQUAKE AND
TIDAL WAVES
Terrible Disaster on the Island of Yesso,
North Japan.
SHOCK FELT FOR TWENTY HOURS
Whole Town DetroycdF.very Part
, of the Island Badly Shaken I'p.
Over 130 Shocks Felt The Ship
ping Seriously Damaged.
Yokohama, June 17. The Island of
Yesso, which contains the northern
provinces of Japan, including Shire
beshe, Oshlma. Furl, Hitaka. Tokachl.
Ishlkarl, Klrshiro, Teshiwo, Kltami and
Nemoro, has been visited by a terrible
earthquake, which has resulted in the
loss of a thousand lives.
All these sections of the Island seem
to have been more or less shaken. The
subterraneous disturbance lusted about
twenty hours, and during that period a
Btate of the utmost terror prevailed on
all Bides. Shock followed shock In al
most uninterrupted succession about
every eight minutes. In all. It is esti
mated, there were 150 shocks of greater
or lesser strength.
It Is Impossible to obtain for the pres
ent, accurate details of the disaster, as
communication between the mainland
of Japan (island of Hondo) and Yesso,
from which the former Is separated by
the strait of Tsugaru (Sanger), Is said
to be Interrupted, or, more likely, in
the hands of the authorities. The whole
town of Kumalshi, however, Is reported
to have been destroyed.
The awful series of earthquake
shocks were accompanied by a tidal
wave, and it Is believed that It was this
onrush of a giant wave from the sea
which practically wiped out the town
of Kumalshi, which Is situated toward
the Japan sea on a narrow neck of land
separating It from Volcano bay, on the
Pacific side of the island.
The island of Yesso has In the nan
had several similar visitations, nnd
contains a number of active and extinct
volcanoes.
AMOUNT OF DAMAGE.
Popular rumor has It that the num
ber of lives lost and the amount of
damage done Is far In excess of the
figures contained In the brief, official
dispatch, which simply says that an
earthquake accompanied by a tidal
wave has caused destruction and loss
of life in the northern provinces, and
that .the town of Kumalshi Is believed
to have been destroyed with the loss of
prbbnbly a thousand lives. Japan has
suffered from a number of serious
earthquakes during the past few years,
especially In 1894, when three thousand
houses were destroyed In the latter part
of October of that year, with the loss of
alout three hundred lives. Earlier In
the same month Yokohama and Tokio
were thrown Into a state of consterna
tlon by a series of severe earthquake
shocks, and In June, 1894, there was an
other subterraneous disturbance which
caused considerable damage and Im
mense loss of life. There was an earth
quake of Importance In February, 1895,
and there have been several slight dis
turbances since that time.
