The platform has already been built in the rough, but will not be finished and polished off until to-morrow. The chances are, however, that the Kansas City platform, and with it the sil- ver issue, will be passed over in silence. The advocates of their recognition ad- vance as their chief reason for insisting upon a plank to that effect that the avowed policy of the party in the last na- tional convention should not be thrown aside. On the other hand, the opponents of reaffirmation insist that there is a pos- sibility of a party split if the plank is in- serted, and that the chance of this is too great a price to pay for sentiment regard- | ing issues that do not enter directly into the coming State campaign. The committee having the platform in charge was fo-night in favor of ignoring the Kansas City platform and unless the late arrivals to-morrow should cause a deeided change in sentiment it is not like- ly that the present aspect of the platform will be changed. Other planks will be in- serted declaring in favor of territoria! government in the Philippines, criticizing the attitude of the party leaders on the tariff, declaring against the interference of the Federal courts in matters relating Lo the revenue laws of Illinois, declaring against government by injunction and fa- | yorfg punishment for violation of an in- jurction through jury trial, not for the actual violation of the injunction, but for injunction seeks to prevent.

Some of the Fire and Mine Bosses Fail to Report For Work. WILKESBARRE, Pa., June 16—The sixth week of the anthracite coal miners’ strike began to-day without a ripple to disturb the calmness of the situation. The rain fell nearly all day, which helped 10 keep the more than 150,000 men and bLoys indoors. Several reports of assaults on workingmen and coal and iron police- men were received from different sections of the region. No one was seriously in- Jjured. It was expected that to-day would wit- ness the refusal of a large number of fire bosses and other mine bosses to go to work, but the best information obtain- able shows that the number of men who quit was not large. However, President Mitchell and other leaders assert that nearly all of the men that were at work on Saturday refused to go into the col- leries to-day. Casper Clark of Toledo, president of the International Team Drivers’ Association, came in for some attention by labor lead- ers to-day. He submitted to an interview. in which he said his organization would ¢o what it could to help the striking miners. There was a revival to-day of the story that the Central Pennsylvania soft coal miners would be called out very soon, but President Patrick Gilay of the Central Pennsylvania district reiterated what he had said yesterday, that the Central Pennsylvania men would not be called out except as an extreme measure. He thought a curtailment of soft coal pro- duction in his district would be a more likely action. Some of the miners in his region, he sald, have already suggested to him that the number of days’ work be cut dcwn, thus cutting off a considerable supply of soft coal that is coming East. i | PRESIDENT ADWITS HIS DEFEAT, —_—— | i i | | | | i | Continued From Page One. his discretion. General Brooke did this, and after him General Wood, and Secretary Root now fully approves of everything they did, in- cluding the payments to Gomez. It is pointed out at the War Depart- ment as a curious fact that Congress has | been in full possession of the information that Gomez had been recelving those pay- ments for no less than two years past. The War Department that far back sub- | mitted to Congress the full statement of all expenses in Cuba, and included in the list was a statement of the payments to General Gomez. FIRST MINISTER WELCOMED. | Gonzales de Quesada and the Presi- dent Exchange Speeches. WASHINGTON, June 16.—Senor Gon- | zales de Quesada, the new Cuban Minis- ter, was to-day escorted to the White House by Secretary Hay and presented his credentials to President Roosevelt. The new Minister was unaccompanied by any attache. It had been expected that the speeches exchanged between the Prsi- dent and Minister would be important and interesting: but e eXchanges were ex- ceedingly formal and conventional. The Cuban Minister spoke as foilows: Mr, President: I have the high homor of handing you the letter whick accredits me near | your Government as Fnvoy Extraordinary and | Minister Plenipotentiary of the republic of Cuba. It gives me pleasure to transmit to your Excellency the most cordial greetings of | the President, Tomas Estrada Palma, and his | fervent wishes for the continued welfare and prosperity of the United States. Faithfully in- terpreting ‘the sentiments of the Cuban people, it is his desire that the relations between the two countres, strengthened by new ties of mutual commercial interests, shall be every day closer and friendlier, as they should be in any case, by reason of the noble and disinter- ested conduct of the American people. My constant ain, Mr. President, will be* to do all that is podsible, in order that the har- | mony and fraterpity between the greatest n: | tlon of America’and the younsest shall be lasting as will be eternal the cult for the memory of those who shed their blood that Cuba might be, as #he is to-day, a free and independent nation. Appended is the President's reply: Mr. Minister: It is with great pleasure that I receive from your nands the letter of his Ex- cellency, the President of Cuba, accrediting |you as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister | Plenipotentiary from Cuba to the United States, and acknowledge the President’s cordial greet. | ing. You may assure him that I shall cmit no opportunity to draw closer the speclal ties of friendship and association which already Unite the people of the United States to the republic of Cuba. 1 cordially welcome you, Mr. Minister, to this capital, and am confident that your resi- | dence here will materially contribute to the good relations which both Governments are anxious to maintain. | After these formal exchanges the Presi- ! Gent shook the Minister's hand warmly {and expressed to him with unmistakable | earnestness the deep gratification he felt at being able to greet as the first Minis- ter from the new-born republic of Cuba the man he had known as a personal | friend in previous years. The Minister re- sponded i1 the same unconventional man- | er. | Eecretary Hay also had cause for grati- tion. He recalled the fact that to-day ked the culmination of his own efforts for thirty years. Hay was first secretary | of legation at Madrid when General Dan- !iel Sickles was United States Minister there, and Hay had to do then with the proposition to purchase for $100,000,000 the | island of Cuba. He did not abate his in- ! terest in the subject or relax his efforts }when opportunity served to bring about the result achleved to-day, when Cuba’s first Minister was recognized by the Pres- ident of the great republic of the north. -~ REPUBLICANS MAY CAUCUS. Committee on Relations With Cuba to Consider Subject. WASHINGTON, June 16.—It is still the intention of the Republican members of ‘ the Committee on Relations with Cuba to kold a meeting to-morrow for the pur- pese of conferring upon the question of Cuban reciprocity, and whether there shall be a caucus of Republican Senators will depend on a decision of the majority members of that committee. If they de- cide finally upon a blll and ask that a caucus be called to pass upon it the call le be issued and the caucus probably will be held Wednesday. Several Senators who have a knowledge of the condition of business in the Senate said to-day that Congress would adjourn by July 1.” One of them who has been an e(.\‘vdneut advocate of reciprocity with Cuba sald: | “Whether we reach an agreement or not, we will adjourn by the Ist.

AS TO PAYMENTS IN CUBA. Teller’s Resolution Concerning Re- ciprocity Promotion. WASHINGTON, June 16.—In the Senate to-day Teller of Colorado offered the fol- lowing resolution: Whereas, It seems-impracticable to prepare during this sesslon of Congress an itemized statement showing the collection and disburse- ment of all funds for the whole period of the military occupation of Cuba; an Whereas, It is_important that a statement be now made of the accounts hereafter named; therefore, be it Resolved, That the Secretary of War be, and he is hereby directed, to send to the Senate the folowing: % “fa)} iterized statement of all payments made out of Cuban funds to any person or cor- poration, if any. for -the purpose of promot- ing ‘reciprocity” between the United States and Cuba, at any time during the military oc- cupation of Cuba by the United States, and whether such payments welrivauthorized or ap- roved by the Secretary of War. ¥ Kean of New Jersey objected to imme- diate consideration of the resolution and it went over. —ee MAJORITY OF CARDINALS FAVOR TAFT'S PROPOSALS Complete S\mcess»;the Negotiations With the Vatican Appears to Be Assured. ROME, June 16.—The complete success of the negotiations between Judge Taft and the Vatican on the subject of the friar lands in those islands appears as- sured, four out of the five Cardinals com- posing the sub-committee of Cardinals fa- voring the Governor's proposals. Cardinal ‘Steinhuber, a Jesuit, opposes them. After the completion of the negotiations an acute conflict is expected between the Vatican officials and the Filipino religious orders regarding the disposition of the money which the United States will pay for the lands. The Vatican considers that the money ought to be given to the pro- aganda, or soclety of Cardinals having city say the | ghe care and oversight of foreign mis- sions. gt Late Shipping Intelligence.

WILSON SKEY That’s Alll | o] UP GO PREMIUMS ON KING'S LIFE Illness Also Changes| Odds on Chances of | Being Crowned. LONDON, June 17.—King Edward bore yesterday's journey to Windsor well, but it has been decided that he will not go to Ascot to-day. ' Queen Alexandra, Qow- ever, accompanied by the Prince and Princess of Wales and other members of the royal family, will attend the races in state. The Prince of Wales, conversing W“h: the Mayor of Windsor upon his arrival here yesterday evening, said: “King Edward caught a chill in the| stomach. He is much better, however, | although he will have to be careful. His | M?Jesty is also troubled with slight| pain.” | Sir Francis Liking, physiclan in ordin- ary to the King, who has been in con- | stant attendance upon his Majesty since | he became indisposed at Aldershot, is| pleased to get King Edward to Windsor Castle, where he can receive better-atten- tion than at Aldershot. King Edward lately has undergone a regular course of massage for rheu- matism, which has troubled him as a re- sult of the bad weather. After arriving | at Windsor last evening his Majesty was able to walk about the castle and receive the guests whom he had invited to a din- ner party. Those present at the dinner included the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Connaught, the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, the Duke and Duchess of Portland, the Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry and other notable per- sons. No bulletin of the King's health has been issued. His Majesty's physicians are merely advising him to keep quiet and to husband his strength as much as possible. At Lloyd's yesterday there was a big rise on the premiums on the King's life and upon his chances of his being crowned June 26. ALDERSHOT, England, June 16.—The indisposition of King Edward and the in- cessant downpour of rain combined to effectually spoil the rand review of troops here to-day. The King did not leave the royal pavilion and was repre- sented by the Prince of Wales, who rode to the saluting point, accompanied by the Duke of Connaught and a brilliant staff, comprising several Indian Princes, the military attaches, Lord Roberts, the com- mander_in chief, and the headquarters staff. Queen Alexandra drove to the pa- rade ground in a closed carriage with the Princess of Wales and the Princess Vic- toria. In other carriages at the saluting point were the Duchess of Connaught and many of the notabilities who dre visl(lns Engiand. More than 32,000 rain-soake troops marched past the throne. King Edward and Queen Alexandra started for Windsor at 4:15 this afternoon in a motor car. The King showed little trace of his recent illness.

He was standing on the starboard tack and he decided to try to make Honolulu. No particular signs | of the fire were seen during the 28th, but | at 2 a. m. of May 29 the entire crew was aroused by hearing a terrific puft followed an_instant later by a brilliant glare of | light. The pent up gases had finally | | ordinary | moying about th hot during the day that it was impossible te stand on them. In_ addition to the Leat and actual flames the smoke and gas were so dense that it was with the ut- most difficulty that Captain Gibbons and his crew could work about the vessel. Finally on the afternoon of May 20 the captain decided that it would be folly to y to remain with the ship any longer, preparations were made to abandon it. Before leaving the vessel Captain Gib- be had the wheel lashed to keep the boat on a north-northeast course. The e lower topsails and jigger topmast ail were left set. It was 4 p. m. of at the boats finally shoved away from the vessel. At that time there was a northeast wind prevailing and with an sea running the vessel was rate of a knot an hour. The Fanny Kerr was bound for San Francisco from Newcastle, Australia, with tons ‘“northern extended” coal, and d been out about sixty days. She was t in Liverpool ten years ago, and cost $375,000. It is thought by her captain and others that she has remained afloat and is a valuable salvage. The Inter- isiand Steamship Company and the Wilder Steamship Company of Honoluiu are preparing to send vessels out in search of her. The value of her hull, if it can be towed in, Is $50,000. The officers and crew are as follows: Captain Charles Gibbons, master; David Longwill, first officer; Thomas Miles, seconi officer; Archle Gibbons (captain’s som), third officer: John Robertson, boatswain; H.

Captain Gibbons and his crew could scarcely make their way through the cloud of gas and smoke to the braces. An attempt was also made to fight the | flames with water. Captain Gibbons had the men turn a stream of water down the hatch, but within a few minutes he saw the ufter futility of such a course, so this | was stopped without delay. The gas and fiames and smoke continued to make their way from both afterhatches and the ven- tilators.
