Tmntoh, May 10.—The platform adopted by the Republican state oonvention yesterday declares that the Republican party, having restored the Union and restored domestic tranquility, now finds its great work to be the maintenance of protection to industry by a tariff adjusted to that special end; protection to eivil rights by a free ballot and fair count; protection to the character of the people by general education; protection to the government by reforming the civil service, aad protection to homes by restriction of vioe and intemperance. Albany, May 10.—At the Academy of Music last evening there gathered about 8,500 representative citizens of New York state to honor the memory of Roscoe Conkiing. The hall was densely packed, fully 2,000 people being turned away. Upon the platform were seated sk many as could be accommodated. The senate and assembly and near friends of the deceased had special places reserved for them. The only decoration was the draping of an American flag in front of the stage. The desk of the orator was covered with an American flag, and in front of it was a large crayon portrait of Mr. Conkiing, the frame of which was draped. New Yobk, May 10.—Police detectives were at work all day yesterday in the endeavor to determine the exact manner of Broker Nathaniel Hatch's death and the causes that led to it They were by ne means willing to accept the general verdict that the tragedy was the result of an accident while Mr. Hatch was trying to escape from the house of Charles W. Scofleld. Alice Hoyle, it is saAl, was a witness of the crime, being one of the parties in the buggy, and It was her shriek that was heard when the murderer's hands olasped Lillie's throat The story of the circumstances preceding the murder, and the part played in it by Alice Hoyle, McQuade and Cowie, varies from that already given only in this point At Indianapolis—Indianapolis, 4; New York, 18.

The American corvette Juniata left Kobe April 12 for Nagasaki. Several men wer* found who were familiar with Mrs. Scofleld's history. The stories they told established the following "facta: PASSED BY THE SENATE, There is a feeling in Worcester that young McQuade is not likely to receive fair treatment at the hands of the New York police. Ex-Congressman Rice, Cowfcfli counsel, said the government was not justified in employing secret methods, and that young McQuade was now probably assailed by interrogations from men who would use their experience in such eases in wringing a confession from the prisoner.  She first appeared in New York about the time so many mining speculators came to New York from San Francisco, In 1883. Mr. D. C. Ferris, her "brother-in-law," had an office in the Boreal building at that time, and Mrs. Scofleld was a dally caller there. Bbe was then known as a single woman, and many brokers in the building were attracted to her by reason of her fine appearance, splendid dress, and energetic business methods. It was through Ferris that Scofleld became acquainted with her. She said at one time that she had received two offers of marriage, one from a young man n~rl another from a rich old man. Two weeks later she announced her marriage to the rich old man, Mr. Scofleld. It was generally believed that she married Scofleld for his supposed fortune.

Washington, May 10.—The features in the senate yesterday were the passage of the copyright bill and the passage of the railroad land forfeiture bill, with amendments. The latter was held up later on a motion of Mr. Call to reconsider, with a view to introducing another amendment. This motion is still pending. to Be Vacant. New York, May 10.—The Methodist Episcopal conference, in Its session at the Metropolitan opera house yesterday, devoted itself •ntlrely to the accumulated business of the church. The last case of a contested seat—* that of John E. Richards, a Montana delegat—was presented, and after an hour's discussion this seat was declared vacant. Rosooe Conkllng—a great man, an orator, a statesman, a lawyer, a distinguished citizen of the ropubllo, in the zenith of his fame and power has reached his journey's end; and we are met, here in the city of his birth, to pay our tribute to his worth and work. He earned and held a proud position in the public thought. He stood for independence, for oourage, and above all for absolute integrity, and his name was known and honored by many millions of his fellow men. VETOED BY GOVERNOR HILL. A resolution for the support of William Walter Phelps' name at the national convention and pledging him New Jersey's electoral Vote was passed.  He Totally Disapproves of the Recently Passed New York License Consideration of the railroad land forfeiture bill was resumed. Bill, aud Tells Why. ffm, .WISCONSIN REPUBLICANS. Debate ensued on the Hoar amendment with reference to the lands of the Portage lake ship canal. Albany, May 10.—Governor Hill has vetoed the high license bill, which was recently passed by the legislature. In his veto message he says that the bill, although being entitled "An Act Further Regulating the Sale of Intoxicating Liquors," does not amend the general liquor laws of the state, but is an entirely distinot an independent act This, he says, is clearly objectionable, and says there is no excuse for such defective legislation. The contest was in reference to the establishment of Episcopal districts, to be presided oyer by the bishops, one for each section quadrennially. Now the board of bishops determines of Itself at its meeting twice a year the conferences over which each bishop shall preside. This measure, which has been debated in several general conferences, gives a certain section to each bishop for four years and virtually establishes Episcopal districts In the church. iCovernor Rusk Mentioned as a Presiden- tial Candidate. Mr. George said that he was disposed to vote for the amendment, provided the claims of the homestead and pre-emption claimants were protected, and in order to assure that point moved to insert the words "and all such pro-emption and homestead claims are hereby confirmed." This was agreed to, and after further discussion the Hoar amendment was agreed to by a vote of 27 to 14. MjldiSOX, Wis., MaJ 10.—The Republican state convention to select delegates to the national convention met here yesterday. H. Taylor mads a long speech eulogizing Governor Rusk as the leading candidate for president, and denouncing the Democratic administration and southern outrages. Roscoe Conkling was a man of superb courage. Besides the name Stowell she was known at one time as McCormack. She, with her husband, Mr. Scofleld, moved into a flat on Broadway about a year ago. The neighbors noticed that the wife ran the household to suit herself, and when die received gentlemen calls Mr. Scofleld usually went away or paced up and down the corridors until the calls terminated. The husband and wife quarreled frequently, and tho janitor is certain that their differences always aroaei from her predilection for the society of other men than her husband. The attaches of the bnllding are positive that a frequent visitor to Mra Scofleld daring her husband's absence was the unfortunate Nathaniel W. T. Hatch. Mr. Hatch called at all .hours of the afternoon and night. He not only acted without fear, but he had that fortitude of soul that bears the consequences of the course pursued without complaint. He was charged with being proud. The charge was true—he was proud. His knees were as inflexible as the "unwedgeable and gnarled oak," but he was not vain. Iks platform adopted reaffirms the protection principles of ths platform Ou which Abraham Lincoln was elected. It favors a judicious revision of the tariff and reduction of ths surplus, bat demands that such revision be made by those friendly to the firlneiple of protection; It denounces President Cleveland's message as an attack on American Industries, and oppoess the Mills bill as an unjust measure shaped for partisan ends; it protests against the methods of conducting elections hi the south, and condemns ths sweeping changes in subordinate Federal officials as a flagrant disregard sit pledges made by President Cleveland. He then says that an excise law should be clear and explicit, and easily comprehended. The propovd bill, he says, violates this principle, and, Irrespective of any other question it is defective in form ancf therefore objectionable. It Is crude, ill considered and inadvisable. In some portions of the state, especially in the rural districts and small villages, the imposition of a liquor lioense fee of not less than (300, and for ale and beer not less than (100, would, he says, amount to a prohibition of all licenses. The question of the candidacy for bishops is gradually resolving itself into shape for action by conference, and the friends of the various candidates for the office are busy in their efforts to unite the following for their choice. It is not expected that the matter will come before the conference before the middle of the month. Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, moved to amend the second section by providing that it should not apply to any lands in Iowa on which any one in good faith has made, or has asserted the right to make, a pre-emption or homestead settlement. Agreed to. This imperious man entered public life in the dawn of the reformation, at a time when the country needed men of pride, of principle and courage. The institution of slavery had poisoned all the springs of power. Before this crime ambition fell upon its knoes; politicians, judgee, clergymen and merchant princes bowed low and humbly, with their hats in their hands. The temple of American liberty was finished, the auction block waf the corner stone: &AKlHc POWDER The bill was then passed without division. The prevailing opinion now is that not mora than «lx new bishops will be decided on, and the latest intimation is that the board of bishops will suggest the eleotlon of only three new bishops. The conference will at itseU determine the number, and It is not restricted to the number suggested by the bishops. An opinion expressed by Some of those best Informed yesterday was that the conference would not agree tC*elect more than four, with a bare possibility of a fifth. The unearned land grant bill passed by the senate declares forfeited to the United States all lands heretofore granted to any state or to any corporation to aid in the construction of a railroad opposite to and coterminous with the portion of any such railroad not now oompleted and in operation, for the construction or benefit of which lands have heretofore been granted; and all such lands are declared to be a part of the public domain. The aot is not to be construed us forfeiting the ri&ht of way or depot grounds of any railroad company heretofore granted, nor as limiting the rights granted to purchasers or settlers by the land grant adjustment act of March 3, 1887, or as repealing, altering or amending that act, nor as in any manner affecting any cause of action existing in favor of any purchaser against his grant, or for breach of any covenants of title. From all aooounts it appears that Mrs. Scofleld once passed as the wife of a sea captain, and when he died aboard ship she navigated his vessel into this port and received a formal recognition of her service from the Maritime Exchange; and that among numerous financial ventures she was associated as the principal backer of Salmi Morie In his "Passion Play" scheme of 1888. At last the conflict came. The hosts of light and darkness prepared to meet upon the fields of war. The question was presented: Shall the republic be slave or free? The Republican party had triumphed at the polls. The greatest man in our history was president elect. The victors were appalled; they shrank from the great responsibility of success. In the presence of rebellion they hesitated; they offered to return the fruits of victory. Hoping to avert war they were willing that slavery should become immortal. An amendment to the constitution was proposed, to the effect thatno subsequent amendment should ever be made that in any way should interfere with the right'Of man to steal his fellow men. So long ag the policy of the state prevails in favor of licenses, he says, the amounts fixed by statute should be reasonable and not excessive. He says the measure is also unfair in its discriminations. There would "be another contest next year of the amendment of its section*, and in his opinion it will be be£ ter to perfect and present to tlfe next legislature a revised excise law which has not the objectionable features. He says: The convention chose the following delegates at large to the national Republican convention: Senator John C. Spooner, Henry C. Payne, H. 0. Fairohild and H. C. Adams. Absolutely Pure. Henry C. Payne was eleoted chairman of the state oantral committee. Mr. Scofleld's reoord is Interesting as a personal history, but it has little bearing upon the death of Mr. Hatch. Police Tight Brigands and Exiles. PHiutPPOPOLiB, May 10.—The police defeated a band of Bulgarian exiles brigands at Radomlr yesterday, after a bloody struggle, in which many of the outlaws and several of the police were killed and wounded. This powder never varies. A marvel of purity, strength and wholesomeness. More economical than tha ordinary kinds, and cannot be sold In competition with the multitude of low test, short weight alum or phosphate powders. Sola only in cans. Ths convention instructed the delegates to use tbelr influence tor Governor Rusk in the national eonvention. Senator Spooner will present the governor's name as a candidate for ths presidency. "I recognize that there is much public clamor from certain quarters in behalf of the measure, and that much energy and industry have been displayed in manufacturing public opinion in its favor. If half as much activity had been expended in enforcing tho provisions of the present excise law, and in inducing boards of excise to avail themselves of the opportunity to increase their license fees under such law, something would almost undoubtedly have been accomplished. This opportunity is open. The facts relative to the records of Mr. and Mrs. Scofleld led the police and others interested to oonjecture that a swindling game might have been practised on Mr. Hatch by the Seoflelds. One of the most ancient and successful of swindling operations is known as the "badger game." It consists in getting a man into a compromising situation with a married woman, with the immediate appearance of an enraged husband, who will be satisfied with nothing less than a large payment of money. Royal Baking Vowdsb Oo., 108 Wall St., N. Y.

Parsons, manager of a bucket shop at Northampton, disappeared Monday night, and it is said that $900 of customers' money is missing. Persons in possession of any such lands (prior to Jan. 1, 1888,) are authorized to purchase them (within two years) from the U ni ted States in quantities not exceeding 820 acres, at the rate of $21.50 per acre. This, the most marvelous proposition ever submitted to a congress of civilized men, received in the house an overwhelming majority, and the necessary two-thirds in the senate. The Republican party, in the moment of its triumph, deserted every principle for which it had so gallantly contended, and with the trembling hands of fear laid its convictions on the altar of compromise. —FOE— The Six-Day Walking Match. LADNDRY WORK. The bill reserves the right to forfeit other railroad grant lands for any failure, past or future, to comply with the stipulated condition."I appreciate the growing sentiment in favor of requiring higher liceaae fees, and of throwing around the liquor trailc more restraints, and am desirous of respecting such sentiment, as well as in every proper way cooperating with it, but I cannot consistently give my assent to an unreasonable and extreme measure whioh bears intrinsic! evidence of its lack of careful preparation and of its want of judicious consideration." New Yobk, May 10.—Littiowood is ahead In fhe world's championship walking match at Madison Square Garden. Hughes has dropped to fourth place. The theory of homicide Bad been abandoned yesterday in favor of some such scheme as this. It was believed that Mr. 800field, who had known of Mr. Hatch's intimacy with his wife, had consented to it with a view to compromising Mr. Hatch, and then extorting a large sum of hush money from his victim. The result, according to this theory, was that Mr. Hatch, realizing the situation, attempted to escape by the back yard, and met his death by-accident while climbing down from the extension. The international copyright bill was then taken up. Mr. Vance, in speaking to a proposed amendment, said the effect of the bill would bo to enhance the price of knowledge to the people of this country. The whole scheme was protection, in order to make a few persons rich.  The old guard, numbering but sixty-five in the house, stood as firm as the 300 at Thermopylae. Thaddeus Stevens—as maliciously right as any other man was evor wrong—refused to kneel. Owen Lovejoyremembering bis brother's noble blood, refused to surrender, and on the edge of disunion, in the shadow of civil war, with the air filled with sounds of dreadful preparation, while the Republican party was retracing its steps, Roscoe Conkling voted no. This puts a wreath of glory on .his tomb. From that vote to the last moment of his life he was a champion of equal rights, staunch and stalwart. (They Will Do as the Pop* Directs. AT J, W.
