Indian Children
Kill Baby Brother
Little Fratricides Preserve Absolute
Silence When Confronted With
the Crime.
Special to Thc Tribune.
WODENA, Utah, June 22. While
Indian Jack of Eagle Valley,
sixteen miles west of Statellne,
was hauling a load ofs hay to
Statellne and while his squaw, with
other Indian women, was picking weeds
for a farmer in the valley, a tragedy
was being enacted at his tepce.
Indian Jack has two boys, 3 and 4
yenrs of age, and a daughter 7 years
old. His squaw on returning to her
topee in the evening after her work was
finished, missed the youngest child,
and by no amount of persuasion could
she induce the other- children to tell
what had become of their little brother.
A- search was instituted and tho
three-year-old child was found lying
on the slope of a hill unconscious, pre
senting a death-like appearance, al
though life was not entirely extinct.
Owing to the bloated appearance of
the child it was at first thought that
it had been bitten by a rattlesnake.
A hasty examlnatoin, however,
showed three ribs broken entirely away
from the backbone and its little stom-
acn caved in. to an appearance it Hav
ing been crushed with stones. Life not
yet being extinct, the frantic mother
bundled up the child and started for
Statellne, but It died on thc way.
Indian Jack, the father, is on edu
cated and Industrious man and is
heart-broken over tho death of his boy,
as he apparently realizes that he was
the victim of thc oldor chlldrens' anger.
He sayH that for some tilmc they had
manifested a strange antipathy for
their brother and that he frequently
caught them within the past ten days
abusing him.
The two culprits exhibit true Indian
traitn by maintaining a singular tnpi
j turnlty and by stoically refusing to an
swer any questions whatever as to
what they dl'd.

which yesterday was looked for In vain
From the moment he was escorted to tho

Ho was the entertainer; In fact he was

tho standard bearers for tho JfOl Repub
lican campaign will bo named formally

Wisconsin Situation.
The report of tho committee on creden
tials lntareated tho convention only so far
as it dealt with tho Wisconsin situation.
Senator McComas of Maryland, chairman
of the committee, road a report from tho
investigation of tho contest. Ho took tho
dolegates into tho confidence of ho com
mittee and explained in detail that a
thorough can"aaa wna made Into tho
merits of the contest, despite tho fact
that, the contestants had withdrawn their
claims on the. ground that fair troarmont
could not bo hod. Ha said ho Impuatlon
was directed at the convention Itself and
though recanted deoply br tho committee
the inquiry was oxhnuatlve and patient.

The report clorod with a declaration
that the "Htalwnrt" fnotlon, lrid by Sen

headed by tho two TJnttod BfAtoti Bonatora
from that State ovoked prolonged ap
plause. , Ohc. of the remarkabld feature con
cerning the adoption of the platform was
the fact that; It has been . tho. Hubject of
administrative scrutiny and national in
terest for many weeks and was accepted
without a dissenting voto.
Reducing" Representation.
In addition in ii.,. i,itrr tni
reasons which always havo had a promi
nent position In Republican platforms,
the wer incorporated several clauses of
striking interest. Ono of these Is a plonk
looking to the reduction of the represen
tation of certain Southern States in tho
electoral college and in Congress. It is
built up on what Is known aa the "Payne
resolution." offered eight years ago, and
tho Quay resolution, offered four vears
ago, but goes further than either.
What. It Directs.
Tho plank directs an Investigation to
ascertain whether there have been uncon
stitutional disfranchisements of voters In
any State and If so demands a reduction
of tho representation of such States In
Congress, with tho consequent reduction
In tho electoral college and in national
conventions.
The .full significance of pledges for the
continuance cf tho provisions of tho Chi
nese exclusion act and for tho further
ance of all legltlmato effor'ts to obtain
Tor American citizens abroad, without dis
crimination, thu rights of sojourn and
travel, was not appreciated when read
to the. convention.
Galleries Were Crowded.
Visitors were not so early about tho
convention .hall today, but when Mr.
Root called tho . convention to order
shortly after noon the Coliseum present
ed a more Inspiring appearance than on
tho preceding da. The galleries wero for
tle" first time crowded and. a large num
ber of the ladles present was especially
noticeable
Demonstration for Fairbanks.
The greatest demonstration as the delo-
C"-iuii3 n ci i: CUII.-1 uiu i.uu was in.ii
which greeted Senator Fairbanks, who
had become known as the national choice
for tho second placo on the ticket. It
exceeded In enthusiasm tho ovation of
tho first day.
. While delegations interchanged Ideas on
tho floor, or sought their seats the con
vention w.ih called to order abruptly bv
tho temporary chairman. Mr. RooL'Whon
the delegates delayed . obedience, to tho
call Mr. Root, without hesitancy, per
emptorily ordered' tho Forgcants-nt-arms
to clear tho.nJ8lcs, The firmness he dis
played appealed to tho delegates and
rpm confusion tho" convention quickly
cliangod to i. well-ordered and perfectly
controlled body. After prayer bv tho Rev.
Thomas E. Cox, tho business of the- day
began.
.Veteran Given Seat of Honor.
When Sonator McComas had completed
tho reading of thc report from thc com
mlttco on credentials, Senator Forakor
was recognized. He called the attention
of tho convention to tho fact that'Mal.
Gen. Oetorhaus, a German veteran of tho
Civil war, was In the hall, and suggested
that he be Invited to a Heat on thc plat
form. The convention oheored tho name
of Osterhaus. Tho Ohio Senator spoko
briefly of the part thc General had pluved
In tho assault on Missionary Ridge and
of his aid to Sherman in thc hitter's
march to the sen. Tho chairman ap
pointed a committer which escorted tho
General to the platform, where he was
Introduced to th6 convention as "Sher
man's corps commander." In it decided
ly German accent Gen. Osterhaus then
thanked tho convention for tha honor ac
corded him. He mentioned tho fact that
he had been present when Abraham Lin
coln .was nominated. Tho applauso which
followed was vigorous.
Invitation to St, Louis,
Senator Depow reported that no action
watt necessary by the cominiitco charged
with tho perfection of arrun?mentn for
tho convention to accept the Invitation of
tho Louisiana Purchase Exposition com
pany to vlHlt tho oxpo.sltion aa their
guesln, as thlB had already been attended
to by tho exposition management.
Cannon Given Ovation.
Tho announcement of tho pormanent or
ganisation for tho convention started tho
continuous demonstration which followod
the Introduction of Speaker Cannon as
permanont chairman. Ho was escorted to
tho platform hy a crmmlttco conlstlng of
John D. Long. The temporary and per
manent chairmen met in tho center of tho
stago, where thoy cloaped hands In a
cordial grouting. At this moment tho
applause woh doafonlng, thu convention

Mr. Root led Mr. Cannon to the edge of
the platform and introduced him to tho
convention as the man who presided over

then to chairs, .shouting wildlv. loudly and
continuously. Tntll the applause subsided
mt. Cannon stood awkwardly facing his
audience. In contrast with this was his
appearance after he had mado himself
heard and his magnetism felt.
Liked His Oratoiy.
Speaker Cannon's oratory was decidedly
to the liking of tho delegates. Ho estab
lished cordial relations evnn beforo ho
had uttered a word, llv stood in sllenea
for a moment on a tonguo-llko projection
In the center of tho platform. His faco

Instinctively he drew himself up and

"So lot us ramblo a while." That was

. treat Battle Is
Soon Expected
Russian War Office Admits Immi
nence of Ono in Northern Part
of Liao Tung: Peninsula,
ST. PETERSBURG. June 22. Thc
. imminence of a battle in the
northern part of tho liao Tuns
peninsula Is admitted by the War
Office and Is Indicated succinctly in to
day's dispatches from the Associated
Press correspondents at Liao Yang,
Knl Ping and other points on the rail
road. The week of skirmishing around Slu
Yen retarded Gen. Kurokl's operations,
permitting Gen. Stakelbcrg to reach
Kal Ping, the rear g'uard slowly fall
ing back on Senuchon before the Jap
anese advance. Meanwhile large forces
are hurrying south from Liao Yang to
chock both Gen. Oku and Gen. Kurokl.
It Is believed here that Gen, Kuro
patkln's object Is to prevent a Juncture
of tho Japaneso armies. On thc other
hand the aim of the Japanese appa
rently Is to drive the Russians out of
the Liao Tung peninsula preparatory
to a march on Liao Yang. The ap
proach ot the rainy season will more
than likely precipitate matters.
Nothing Is known officially of tho
reported occupation of Hlaung Ynl
Cheung (Bsi Ung Chenz or Si Young
Cheng) by the Japanese. If the report
should be correct, It agrees substan
tially with the Japaneso plan of ad
vances as It Is understood here.

fflHICAGO. June 22. The text of thc H
I Republican platform Is as fol-
lows:
Fifty years ago the Republican party (
came Into existence, dedicated, among '
other purposes, to the groat task of ar- 'Ml
resting thc extension of human slavery
In IttO It elected Its first President. Dur- IH
lug twenty-four of the forty-four years ; JH
which havo elapsed since tho election of ;
Lincoln the Republican party has held
complete control of thc Government. For 'mM
eighteen more of thc forty-four years It i j'lH
has hold partial control through the pos- ; jjH
session of ono or two branches of the 'H
Government, while thc Democratic party l''H
during tho same period has had completo j
control for only two yearn Thl6 long ten- I jH
uro of power by the Republican party Is j, J
not duo to chanc6. R Is a demonstration , mU
that thc Republican party has command
cd thc conlldence of the American pcopl lijl
for nearly two generations to a dugree r. ,
never equalled in our history, and has dls- L
played a high capacity ror. rule and gov- f
crnment which hns been mado even mor &
conspicuous by the Incapacity and In- M
flrmlty of purposo shown by Its oppo- fl
nents. tL
Work of Grand Old Party.
Tho Republican party entered upon Its r;
present period of complete supremacy In Ij mM
1897. Wo have every right to congratulate IH
our.Tclvoo upon tho work since then ac- 1
complluhedK for It has added luster even f , mMt
to tlTo traditions of the party which car- tj'
rlcd the Government through thc storms !' m
of civil war. fi ll
Democratic Depression. ' 'jl
Wo then found the country after four H
years of Democratic rtilo la evil plight. Hlill
oppressed with mlafortuno and doubtful I I
of tho future Public credit had bern fH'l
lowered, the revenues woro declining, tho Fif"
debt was growing, tho Administration's v
attitude toward Spain was feeble and b jB
mortifying, the standard of values was Bk'l
threatened and uncertain, labor was crip-
pled, business was sunk In the depression y jH
which had succeeded the panic of 1SS3; , 'jl
hopo wan faint, and conlldenco was go no. ''
What Republicans Did. I'H
We met these unhappy conditions vigor- j
ously, effectively and alone. Wo replaced ll'l
a Domocratlo tariff law based on free ;H
trade principles and gainlshod with sec- ' 1 11
tlonal protection by a protective tariff, j :H
and Industry) frood from oppression and ''''ll
cumulated by tho oncnuragement of. wife Tl
laws, has expanded to a degreo never be- '1
fore known, has conquered now market? jl 'H
and has created a volumo of exports IH
which hs surpassed Imagination. Under 'lil'l
tho Dlncioy tariff Iztrr has beon fully k'I
employed. jj
Wages havo rison, and all lnduatrios ll
havo revived and prospered. IH
Gold Standard Fixed. Vt
Wo firmly established ih? gold standard i
which was then menaced with destrue- iv ll
tion. Confldcnco returned to business, and j j 'fH
with conlldenco an unexampled prosperity j J jH
For deficient revenues, supplemented by j jH
Improvident issuos of bonas, we gave th !' jl
country an lncorao which produced a largo I jj
surplus, and which enabled us only four IHil
years after tho Spanish war had closed to , JiH
romovo over ono hundred millions of an- 'hl
nual war taxes, reduce tho public debt ll
and lowor tho interest charges of the
Government. j:'
Public Credit Reviewed. ' nll'l
Tho public credit, which had been so 5
Joworcd that In time ot peace a Demo- j ill'H
cratic administration mndo largo loans at jj JH
extravngant rates of Interewt in order to jl jjH
pay current expenditures, rose under Re- lir'l
publican administration to Its highest j j jH
point and enabled us to borrow at 2 per j jH
cent, oven In time of war. (
Cuba Set Free. ,
Wo refused to palter longer with tho ijt Jf
tnlBorlos of Cuba. We fought a quick and S j:
vigorous war with Spain. We sot Cuba '( I Hl
free, governed tho Island for three years r'l
and then gave It to tho Cuban peoplo with ! ' H
order restored, with ample revenues, with ! jH
education and public health established, f 'i H
free from debt and connected with the
United States by wise provisions for our -jj j H
mutual Interests. ')
