LONDON , Sept. 16. The St. James Garotte
thin afternoon published a leading editorial
article headed : "A New Triple Alliance. "
In the course of Its remarks on the subject
the St. James Gazette points out the
menacing tone of the continental semi
official prcns oti the oubject of Turkey , and
HPJ-H :
"Wo are openly threatened with Joint
hostile European action It we Interfere In
Turkey against the will of the powers ,
lint there Is one combination which British
statesmanship might effect. Two states
which have little to gain from Russia could
net with us and end the tension. The United
States and Italy are both understood to be
friendly to Russia. Nevertheless , nelthci
Is too deeply Involved to be able to assume
an Independent attitude under British In
spiration Why should not England , the
United States and Italy form a now
drelbund ? Alone nf all the earth the people
of the United States can understand the
Impulse- which would drive Englishmen tc
war In order to suppress tyranny or resist
the oppressed. Plenty of Americans would
legard with enthusiasm the spectacle of the
union jack and the stars anil stripes floating
itlilo by side In the Bosphorus to back up
their joint doinand. "
Continuing the St. James Gaottc points
out that Italy Is ready to join England In
this matter If Invited. The * article concludes
cludes-
"It might be expected that the Russian
combination would go to pieces at the mere
aspect of this genuine league , and the new
Irelbund might lead to a fresh grouping ol
the powers and the delivery of Europe , botli
from Turkish misrule and the dangerous
thraldom to Russia Into which U is sink
ing. "
LONDON , Sept. 17. The Chronicle this
morning has an editorial In which It wel
comes the suggestion of the St. James
Gazette that a new drelbund. Including
Great Britain , the United States and Italy ,
would solve the Armenian problem. The
Chronicle looks upon this aa a proposal
having nothing In common with cjnlcal
Indlffcrcntlsm and greatly hopes that It
will find an echo In the United States.
The Chronicle then proceeds to assert
that an American admital was last jeai
ordered to bombard Vlldl/ palace If there
was any further massacies of Armenians
"These orders , " suys the Chronicle , "were
subsequently withdrawn when the Vene
zuela dispute came to a head ; a single
example ot the danger of leaving such dis
putes to simmer till they boll over at the
most dls.istc'ious moment. The sooner Lord
Salisbury and Mr. Olney can agree to the
arbitration of the question , the better It
will bo for the chances ot the uulon which
the St. James Gazette EO wisely commends. "

LONDON , Sept. 1C. Lord Hugh Cecil ,
W. P. far Greenwich , and fifth son of the
marquis of Salisbury , who has been stayIng -
Ing with his father at Walmcr , has sent a
reply to nn Invitation to attend the Indigna
tion meeting on account of the Armenian
atrocities , In which ho writes :
"Every Englishman must share In the
generous Indignation aroused by the atrocities
ties- perpetrated under the Infamous gov
ernment ot the sultan It Is most earn
estly to bo w Itihed that the Indignation may
now cease to be confined to our country.
Unhappily It would seem that we should be
dangerously misleading the Armenians II
we made them belove ] that England alone
can have them. Lamentable , as it Is , It ap
pears to be the fact thut there Is no hope foi
them till the feeling abroad at least approx
imates the excitement here , I trust thai
this may soon happen.

LONIHN , Sept. 17. The Times prints a
special article this morning on the recent
meeting of the emperor of Germany and
Ihc czar , of which the following Is a part :
The Interviews between the emperor
and tha czar at Gorlltz consisted ot two
long talks. Emperor William was effusively
amiable and talkative and even rhetorical ,
while the czar was reticent , bHcf and cau
tious , Emperor William declared the Russo-
French entente caused him satisfaction
rather than anxiety , because he regarded
It as a guaranty of peace. Ills speech then
procce-dcd ns follows ( I cannot guarantee
verbal accuracy , but I believe this Is sub
stantially correct ) . The German emperor
ald : "The French nation docs not wish
war , but when those at the head of affairs
dcslro It the nation Is very liable to let
Itself be carried away. At present , how
ever , France would not enter upon a great
war without ) our co-operation and I have
complete confidence' In ) our traditional wis
dom and firmness. I know you will not make
war In order to give France the satisfac
tion of revenge , just as I and my allies
will do nothing to furnish a pretext.
"I may say even more. I am glad of your
Intimacy with France , because that Intimacy
will suffice to hold In check the revolutionary
fiptrlt by which It Is agitated and will help
to fight and crush It In Russia you have
nihilism the spirit ot conspiracy , the spirit
of darkness. In Germany we have scien
tific socialism , the spirit of destruction , dis
guised under the mask of hypocritical scien
tific formulas a spirit which Is very elan-
gcious In a people which delights In ob
scure philosophical conceptions , and which
imagines it understands what Is obscure.
In Franco what dominates Is the thirst for
ovcithrowlug the existing order of things
the desire of novelty which takes possession
ot over-rich and over-comfortable people
when they feel time lie heavy on their
h.unls We ought to act as the guardians
of the order and the protectors of the peace
of the world It is a most urgent question.
It is the salvation of all , one ! If we march
forward tejgcther , If wo unite In order
today to combat the enemy of God and ol
kings , wo shall he rewarded by the grati
tude of the world ami of history. "
With legard to the czar's reply , there arc
but two reports current. According to one.
Czar Nicholas shook Emperor William
warmly by the hand , and said :
" 1 am absolutely In agreement with jou
and am ready to join In a work which la
worthy of our united efforts. "
According to the other report , the czar
seemed not altogether at ease when the em
peror was speaking of France , and on hear
ing the peroration , he expressed merely In
very vague terms his pacific Intentions.
The latter version stems the more probable
and more In harmony with the character of
Nicholas. However , there Is no doubt that
Emperor William subsequently declared
himself satisfied with the reply.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 1C The State de
partment has been advised that Tynan , al
lege 1 to be the famous "No. 1" ot the Phoenix
park tragedy , now under arrest at Boulogne ,
has appealed to Ambassador Eustls , claiming
exemption from surrender to the British
authorities by reason of his American citi
zenship. The olllclals of the department
decline to say In advance what action would
bo taken In such case , but the practice In
the past has been to avoid interference and
permit the surrender , presuming that the
proceedings are In accordance with the
usi'al legal code of the two countries.
American citizenship cannot bo set up to
prevent the extradition of a person ar
rested In ono country for crime committed
In another As far as the United States
Is concerned it has gone on record as taking
an advanced position In this matter , al
though some other nations claim that such
persons cannot be surrendered without con
sent of the country of their citizenship.
In the ease of France , the authorities on
extradition show that It has alwas asserted
a similar right to surrender fugitives of a
third country without seeking its consent , so
the prospects for successful intervention In
behalf ot Tvnan are smaller.
PARIS , Sept. 1C. No communication of
any sort with regard to Tynam has been re
ceived at the United States embassy.
The officials of the British embassy have
formally requested the French government
to detain Tynan pending the arrival from
England of the documents necessary In
order to make the demand for his extradi
tion In regular form.
LONDON , Sept. 1C The Chronicle quotes
"a well-informed Irish correspondent" who
declares Tynan Is not the genuine "No. 1 , "
but only a braggart , who poses as such ,
"Ho has been In London , " declares the
Chronicle , "within a year. Why was not
ho arrested then' ' It Is quite unlikely the
-orelsn office will press very hard for his
extradition as the prosecution he would
have might lead to very embarast > ing dis
closures. "
The Chronicle's Paris correspondent says'
"Tho fact that Tjnaii fought against Ger
many tn 1870 Is likely to weigh In his
favor with the French. "
The Times , In the course of a discussion
on the extradition of Tynan , says there
Is no doubt that tha extradition treaty
with Franco would bo retrospective and
could bo made to cover the Phoenix park
murders , for which there is a fair chance
that extradition would be granted. But the
Times expresses doubt whether the treaty
would cover the case of a culprll in a fresh
dynamite conspiracy.
The Dally News reports that It Is stated
In official circles that It Is almost certain
that Franco will surrender Tynan. A Brus
sels dispatch to the Dally News declares
that enough material has been seized at the
resort of the suspects arrested at Antwerp
to manufacture half a ton of dynamite.

CITY OP MEXICO , Sept. 1C. The oddresi
delivered this evening by President Ula :
on the opening of congress , referring ti
the diplomatic relations with the Unltci
States , was In part as follows :
On the Gth of May last a conveiitlot
was concluded at Washington whereby tin
International water boundary commlssloi
between .Mexico and the United States wai
empowered to study certain questions bear
Ing on the distribution of the waters o
the Bravo or Grande river. The watei
boundary commission has settled two gravi
questions of disputed territory arising fron
changes in the bed of the Rio Grande , re
latlng to the Chamlsla tract , claimed b ;
both commissions on behalf of their gov
ei-nment ; and the other regarding the Sat
Ellrarlo Islet , which was awarded by botl
commissions to Mexico.
Referring to the attack on the Nogale-
customs house , the president sas Mexlco'i
legation at Washington has been Instructei
to draw the attention of the Department eState
State to the case and that as soon as tin
judicial Investigation now In progress a
Sonora Is completed the extradition of tin
guilty parties will be asked of the Unlte <
States.
The president then refers to the recen
attempt to hold a panamcrlcan confcrenci
In the City of Mexico to consider the Men
roe doctrine. This Idea originated with tin
government of Ecuador and though the con
gress had dissolved after only a few meet
Ings and without accomplishing anything
It docs not follow that Its alms will not bi
some day attained.
The mining Industry In Mexico had madi
a remarkable progress , as shown not enl ;
by the largo number of grants , but by thi
returns of the exports ot the precious met
als , which during the first nine month
of the fiscal ) car ended June 30 las
amounted to $50,808,000 against $18,300.001
In the corresponding period of the preccdlni
year.
The most Imrortant part of the messagi
relates to the financial situation In Mexico
the cash revenue amounting for the last Us
cal year to $50,000.000 , the largest revcnui
yet recorded , and the jcar closed on Juni
SO with a surplus of $1,500,000. The faur
plus Is now In excess of $0,000,000.

BUFFALO , N. Y , Sept. If. . The comple-
tlon of the first day's session of the demo
cratlc state cotucntlou has not disturbed It
any great measure the forecast that hail
been prepared. The conditions tonight , how
ever , are rather Interesting , because of the
Internal fights which , while good natured
upon their surface , are not wanting in In
ternal bitterness. The principal strife to
night Is to prevent the adoption of the unit
mle and to prevent thereby the nomination
of any candidate without a fair , open fight ,
Particularly arc the friends of Congressman
Sulzer striving to this end. It Is reason
ably certain tonight that the ticket will
bo : For governor , John lloyd Thacher ol
Albany ; for lieutenant governor , ex-Mayor
Ryan of Syracuse ; for Judge of the court
of appeals , Robert C. Titus ot Huffalo ; for
chatmian state committee , E. V. Danfortli ;
for national commltteeman , Frank Campbell.
This slate has not been decided upon with
out hourly opposition and the opposition Use
so bitter that , while the certainty ot the
ticket is almost established at a late hour
tonight , complications may arise which will
change any name upon the ticket , with the
possible exception ot Judge Titus The plan
ning of the candidacy of Mr Thacher has
been In the hands of a man who Is not num
bered among the delegates and this In Itscll
has caused some of the opposition. The
man Is Anthony N Firmly of Albany , the
president of several large corporations and
a stockholder In the Chicago Gas company
This fact has arrayed the moic radical free
slher men against Mr. Thacher and they
are claiming many pledges.
The platform as drafted tonight will have
as Its llrst proposition this statement"The
democrats of the state of New York In
convention assembled do hereby unreserv
edly cndoise and approve the platform
adopted by the- national convention at Chicago
cage and wo hereby unanimously approve
the nominees of said convention , William
Jennings Bryan and Arthur Sew-all , and
pledge them our earnest and cordial sup
port. "
Tonight Tammany hall voted 98 to 1 to
act as n unit In the convention , despite the
opposition of the Sulzer Influence on the
outside. It Is thought the full strength of
Tammany will be cast for Thacher for gov
ernor.
ernor.LEADERS PRESENT IN SPIRIT.
Though they are absent In the body ,
the leadership of Senators Hill and
Murphy and W. r. Sheehan was de
clared by many of those who were
present to bo felt In the democratic state
convention today. Rumors were cunent In
the hotel lobbies early In the day that all
through the night the wires had been carrj-
lug communications between the senators
and others of the old-time leaders on the
one hand and various other lieutenants now
In this city , the purpose being to bring
about , a .modification of the resolution on
the financial question and on the endorse-
meit of Bryan and Sew all. In this con
nection It was a significant fact that Tam
many men , who were asked In regard to
the attitude of their organlratlon. professed
the utmost Ignorance , saving that that ques
tion was held to bo decided at a meeting
to bo held later In the day. It appears
to bo a fact that two sets of resolutions
have been prepared with a view to thelt
submission to the convention. One set
which Elliott Danfortli has In charge , h
said to have the approval of Senators Illll
and Murphy and Chairman Jones of the
democratic national committee. Mr. Jones ,
It is said , Is willing to accept a qualified
endorsement of the Chicago convention's
work. If thereby the nomination of a golcl
standard democratic ticket can be avoided
Congressman Sulzer and others of the
radical slh rltes declare , however , that
thcie shall be no half-hearted endorsement
and that the party must be freed from the
domination of these who are designated
as kickers ; and the assertion Is further
made that the state organization will be
made up Independent of those who took
part In the revolt at Chicago.
HILL , ASSISTING THE POPS.
The greatest excitement of the day was
the announcement that there had been a
practical fusion with the populists. In which
Senator Hill had been active In assisting
the populists. The story came direct from
the chairman of the populist committee ol
five , consisting of Colonel A. Flske of Denver -
ver , C. II MatthewB of Buffalo , D. M. Dru-
scau of New York City , Lawrence I. Mc-
Purlln , former secretary of the national
committee of the people's party , and 1.
R. White , president of the farmer's al
liance. A conference was held with Elliott
Daiiforth and Mr. Flske said after it was
over"It was agreed that the populists
would support the nominees and the plat
form ot this convention , no matter who
the nominees were , If In return for this
support they will be allowed to name five
presidential electors. We told Mi. Dan-
forth that wo can swing the electoral to
of this state either way and are sure the
union with the democratic party will re
sult In Bryan and Sew all carrying New-
York state by a large majority. "
Mr. Danfortli said "Mr Flske did ECO
mo , but 1 gave him no decided answer , as
one of his conditions was that Mr. McParlln
must be the nominee for the court of ap
peals , I agreed to see him again. "
To this Mr. McParlln said : "Wo certainly
understood Mr. Danforth to say that he
would favor such a fusion. "
At 0 o'clock this afternoon another meetIng -
Ing was held at Mr. Danforth's rooms and
the matter talked over. Mr. Danforth said'
"I eaw the committee again. It asked me
If , as chairman of the Htato committee , I
would favor a fusion. I told them I could
not answer until I was chairman , but I as
sured them that we would make some ar
rangements with them. I thought that lo
get some of the electora upon the ticket
they should work directly with the dlB-
trlcts. They said thev would try and I as
sured them I would help them. The popu
lists say the Interviews were very Balls-
factory to them and they would be for the
ticket. "
At 1:30 : o'clock Chairman Hlnkley rapped
the convention to order and announced that
the state committee had selectrd Btate
Senator Thomas F Grady for temporary
chairman. Mr. Grady addressed the comri-
tlon for a period of about twenty mlmivs
In the beginning ho said "As Kjal : ep-
resentatlvea of democratic constituencies ,
you have assembled to again declare yjur
faith In democratic principles , your respect
for democratic authority and > our confidence
In democratic success , In this respect
you differ from EOHIC who were , for inmy
years associated with you , 'using their
profession of democracy as a mauk under
which to conceal the purely selfish ch'.r.ic'.er
of their political actions , and who are ii < w
leagued with your nulltlcal opponents , do
nounclng democratic principles , defying
democratic authority and aiding In , to fur
an they may , to defeat the democratic can
didates
DEMOCRACY THAT IS REAL
"It Is , " the speaker continued , " a uliam
democracy which submits to the will ol
the mcjorlty only when no seltlsh Intelest
U affected or sacrificed by so doing. It Ifa
a sham democracy which set * up the
opinions of the few as entitled to control ,
because of the wealth or culture or the
pedigree of those by whom such oplnlone
are held It In a Blum democracy which
has for Its purpose the undue enrichment of
the man who re-lies for hla support upon
whit his money earns for him and the eon
sequent unjuvt impoverishment of the cltl
zen who depends upon what his labor ma )
bo ublo to earn. U U a sham democrat- )
which yc-ttcrtlay asked for a bimetallic
standard upon the- single condition ot ni
International agreement and today con
fesses th.lt such declaration was but <
subterfuge with which to deceive thos

at times Its purpose was to establish am
maintain the nupremacy of gold "
Mr. Grady alluded to Governor McKlnle ;
as A mortgaged candidate and spurned th
allegation thut the Chicago platform I
"nothing but a. declatatlon favoring re
pudlallon. riot and ruin "
ARGUES THE SILVER QUESTION.
Ho proceeded to argue the question of frei
silver coinage from the bimetallic stand
point. Taking up the allegation that tin
Chicago platform means a disturbance1 o
existing conditions , Senator Orady pjlil.
"It Is entirely true that we' meditate i
disturbance' of existing conditions a dls

a restoration than a revolution \Ve ncel

"We would not dissipate , disturb , no

We would give to It the hlgluut protcctlot
of the law and find In It an Incentive-
every teller to work and save. Nelthe
would we attack tin- enormous aecumulatlon
of these who represent neither labor , no
Intelligence , nor thrift , nor formic csrep
In the sense that these who have beci
enriched thereby have been by one govern
mental favor or the other permitted to ex
act tribute from the people by levjlni
against them a taxing power which shouh
never have been exercised In the form o

Wo wouU , however , put an end to that sys

Is to have the opportunlt ) for Indlvidua

"Wo are opposed to civil scrvcle reform a !

and we Insist that honesty of character am :

position for which they apply or to whlcl

test to which they shall be required to hub

After a brief reference to state Issues
Mr. Grady spoke of Bonn and Sewall a !
"candidates of btainless chai actor , cam
mandliig abilities , acknowledged worth nnc' '
tried devotion. No pledge given by then
but will be faithfully and promptly re-
deemed. "
In conclusion Mr Grady said : "Iloteal
ran but doom us to a continuance for foui
more jcarn of existing conditions , with 'hell
Injustice to labor and their privileges tc
wealth accentuated and Increased. Victory
will reall/e for Ub the blessings and ad
vantages of a people's government , umlci
which the public welfare Is the hlghesl
law. "
ALBANY FIGHTS THACHER.
During the delivery of Mr Grady's speed
mombeia of the Albany delegation cliculate (
a piotest against the nomination of Join
Boyd Thacher , on the ground that' at tbi
Saratoga convention he declared himself foi
the gold standard and that no recantation o
that avowal has since come from him. Mr
Grady's address was frequently applauded
particularly on his allusions to thobc dem
ociats who have taken the giound agalns
the Chicago nominees and platform.
The roll call which followed showed con
tests In Albany , Monroe , Wayne and Wyom
Ing counties.
Mr. Rldgoway offered a resolution whlcl
was referred to the committee on platforn
to be appointed endorsing the work of tin
Chicago convention and pledging hearty um
honest support of its nominees.
A resolution emanating from District ns
sembly No 7i ( , Knights of Labor , was slm
Ilarly referred It demands the enforcemen
of the anti-trust laws of this state and thi
enactment of a law against the watering o
stocks. After other resolutions had been re
fcrred and committees named the conveiitlot
took a recess until 10 n. in. tomorrow.
Announcement has been made that Tain
many will throw Its Influence In favor lit Job !
Boyd Thacher's nomination for governor
Kings county , It Is added , may name tin
candidate for lieutenant governor If the dele
gates so desire. Edward M. Grout , the rcg
ular nominee for mayor of Brooklyn at tin
last election , appeared to be the favorite o
the Kings county men for the place. It re
malncd a fact , however , that Isaac Catllt
was the choice of most of the delegated.

OIUKCT OF Tin : EXPOSITION.
"The TransmlsslsMppl and Internntlonnt
Imposition , to be held at Omaha , June 1 to
No\ember 1 , 1S9S , Is Intended to exhibit par
ticularly the products , nsourcis , Industries
and civilization of the states and territories

sources and Industries of the other statca
I ) Ing cast of the Mississippi rl\cr , and ot
foreign countries.
Vlnce the World's Columbian exposition
at Chicago In LSI I the belief has been prev
alent throughout the great went that a com-
pirhensl\o exposition , such an Is proposed ,
lulil at borne cintial point , would be of In
calculable and lasting bcnetn to every state ,
territory and Interest within the transmls-
slsstppl country. California held Ita Mid
winter exposition a state enterpiisc at San
Franelnco , January to July , ISO I Kansas
City advocated the holding of n mid-conti
nent exposition. Denver proposed a western
states exposition. Texas planned to have a
western and houthein states exposition at
Qalvoston , cclcbratlni ? particularly the open-
In ! ? of dicp water transportation fiom gulf
points. Minneapolis and Pt I'aul advocated
a i.orthwcRtcrn states exposition at the Twin
Cities. Finally , the Transmlsslssippl con
gress , composed of leading and representa
tive men ot all claws , piofcbilous and bus-
lii"ss Intel csts of the states and territories
I ) lug west of the Mississippi rjver , who as
semble each > ear to discuss measures for
promoting the commercial and material wel-
faie of the transmlsslsslppl country , at Ita
meeting In 18U5 , discussed the value of such
an exposition and unanimously adopted icso-
lutlons favoring the holding of a TraiiB-
inlFslKslppi exposition In Omaha In 1898 , and
recreating the United States congress to take )
such steps as might be necessary to recognize
and encourage the enterprise.
STARTING JUIC . .MOVEMENT.
"In pursuance of such action , and the
gcncial desire for such an exposition , the
Commercial club of Omaha took up the
subject and called a public meeting , the
icsnlt of which was a corporation , organ
ised for the purpose of undertaking the
exposition and carrying the same to a suc
cessful conclusion.
"Tlio 'Transmlsslsslppl and International
Exposition Is a corporation organized under
the laws ot Nebraska , with an authorized
capital stock of $1.000,000. The articles ot
Incorporation require a board of fifty dl-
lectern , by whom the enterprise will bo
conducted. It is also provided that there
shall be a vice president for the exposi
tion in each of the transmlsslsslppl states
and territories , who will have a share la
the management and direction of the Inter
ests of the exposition ; each Nice president
to have particularly under his charge the
Interests and representation of his own
state.
"Three hundred thousand dollars of thft
capital stock has now been subscribed by
Omaha citizens , and the work of the exposi
tion will very bhortly be taken up on a
broad and liberal plan.
"Tho United States congress , at Its last
session , passed an act recognizing and en
dorsing the exposition , and providing for an
approprlatlcn of $200,000 for a United States
government building and exhibit. It Is
believed that at the coming session of con.
grcss a further appropriation of $300.000 will
be granted In order that the United States
building and exhibit may be fairly repre
sentative of the Interests of the transmls-
slsslppt Ltates and territories as a part
of the nation.
IOWA TAKES THE IKAD.
"Tho state of Iowa , at the Into session
of Its legislature , made a preliminary ap
propriation for Ita representation at the ex
position , and , at the adjourned session to
bo held In January , IS'JI , It la promised
that further provision will be made , BO
that Iowa's participation In the exposition
will be , at least , equal to that of auy other
Btato.
"California citizens are gieatly Interested
In this exposition , and steps have already
been taken looking to an appropriation cl
$75,000 by the legislature of the Htato , to
provide for the fullest reyicbentutlon of
the products , Industries , etc. , of that great
mate at the exposition
"Tho state of Louisiana , at Us scs
Hlon closing July 0 , 18iG ! , passed
a concurrent resolution Instructing
the State Hoard of Agtluiltnrn to arrange
for and provide fitting , ample and adequate
representation of tlio state at the exposition ,
and pledging the state ) to pay thu expensed

"Utah , Wyoming and Colorado have
pledged their BtateH to largo and full rcpre-
xcntntlon at the exposition , and from corro.
npondonco with representative cltl/otiB ot
other statcH of the tranmnlhslsslppl terri
tory , It Is practically assured that twenty , at
least , nf the twenty-four states and terri
tories , will bo llttlngly and largely repre
sented.
"The great transmlsslsslppl country , with
Its vast undeveloped resources , should not
hesitate In at once acting mi that all the
Industrie.1) , products and capabilities of this
great section will bo fully , fittingly and
amply rci-rtwcntcel at the exposition. To
that end It la thu desire of the organiza
tion that each of the trunsmlsslstilppl tate
and territories , through their respective *
legislatures , will arrange for such appro-
pi lutlons and representation as may bo
necessary to properly exhibit their resources
and products.
