BOLIVIA’S ULTIMATUM.
It Is Presented to Fern nnd Rejected by
that Country.
Washington, July 13—South Amer
ican diplomats In Washington are
much interested in the press reports
that Bolivia has presented an ulti
matum to Peru, which the latter has
rejected, and that Bolivia and Ecuador
have formed an alliance with the pros
pect of making war on Peru. Peru’s
former strength has disappeared since
her war with Chili. The Chilians took
all the Peruvian warships, and it is
believed one old'transport is all that
remains of the Peruvian navy. The
army is said to number about 4,000
men.
Bolivia has no navy, and her army is
said to be about the same as that of
Peru. She is entirely inland since the
war with Chili, when Chili took posses
session of those provinces which had
formed liolivhi's coast line. Ecuador
is said to be in good fighting trim, as
she has just emerged from a revolution
and all her people are in arms. But
her navy is insignittejnt, her only good
warship having been sold to Jupan
some months ago. It looks, therefore,
to those conversant with the situation,
that these three countries would not
engage in a very formidable war. They
cannot fight by sea, and there are
great stretches of desulutc and moun
tainous country between them. Chill
is in no way interested in the trouble.
The last war appears to have estab
lished her firmly as mistress of the
west coast of South America.

BUSINESS AND SILVER,
Senator T«t neaied With Tariff Mm
form, bat Against Uold Aloaa.
New York. July 13.—Before ha
sailed for Europe to remain abroad
until September. Senator Vest of Mis
souri said: “I have never seen the
crops generally in such good condition,
and everything seems favorable to a
harvest far above the average in
quantity and quality. Of course the
low price of agricultural produots de
tracts some from tho prospect, but we
cannot tell what prices will be. When
wheat was up to eighty-three cents
it looked as though the farmer was
going to be rewarded this fall;
but prices are now in the sixties and
the prospect not so good. The im
provement in the iron, steel and
woolen trades has been rapid. Wages
have been advanced and orders have
come in large numbers All this
means that the calamity cries of our
Kepublican friends have been wasted.
The Wilson bill has proved to be a
practical business measure. When it
is fully tried it will yield a tuubh
larger revenue; but whether sufficient
to meet all the expenses of the govern
ment remains to be seen. I would not
say that it might be necessary to in
crease tho revenue by an additional
tax on beer, spirits or sugar; but that
is a contingency of the future."
Of silver, Vest said: ‘‘If any at
tempt to commit the Democratic
national convention to a single gold
standard succeeds, it will split the
party and cause the nomination of a
fiee silver ticket The people of the
East have no idea of the strength of
this sentiment in the Western and
Southern states. It will be the main
issue in 1896. The question must be
settled and it will not down until it
is settled. The silver men do not
demand an immediate approval
of a free coinage law, and would be
contented with a frank, honest expres
sion committing the party to bimetal
lism and a free uso of silver as soon as
some practical measure could be form
ulated and enacted into law. The lie
publicans will probably straddle, as
they usually do. Missouri is strongly
free silver. Tho Democrats will hold
a convention in August, ami I believe
it will declare unanimously for free
coinage. The presidential sentiment
does not point to anyone in particular
in the Democratic party. Mr. Cleve
land will leave office with renown to
himself and the country. I do not be
lieve he would accept a* third term even
though it should be offered him, which
is unlikely.”

Corbett and Fitzsimmons Will Combat

Dallas, Texas, July 12.—A diagram
of the great Corbett-Fitzsimmons
building was displayed at Dan Stuart’s
office in the Astor building yesterday
morning. It showed an octagon struc
ture covering 400 feet of ground or

its grand divisions: Unreserved seats,
30,800; reserved seats, 17,088; in bal
cony, 2,400; seats for the press, Col’;
total, 52,815.
There never was such a theater built
in the United States, and possibly
never will be again. The Democratic
Wigwam at Chicago only held o0,000,
and the Music hall at the world’s fair
no more. The prize ring is in the ex
act center and will he forty feet
square, elevated four feet from the
ground. The 052 seats reserved for
the pre-s will be next around the ring.
From thence there is a sharp ascent
toward the clouds, di/.zv with marks !

As enormous as the capacity is, it is ]
confidently expected that every seat
will be taken.

Stale Convention—Voicing the Pol
icy of the Party on National lasnee—
Degradation of the Daddy Dollar to
Fifty tents—An Avalanche of Silver
bat Heat for Labor.
Senator Allison on Silver.
Des Moines, Iowa, July H._Tho
Iowa Republican State convention to
day attracted more than usual atten
tion on account of the possibilities af
fecting the presidential boom of Iowu’s
fuvprito son. United States Senator
William U. Allison. The utterances of
the temporary chairman of the conven
tion, Joseph R. Lane of Davenport,
were listened to with marked interest
as an outline of the Allison Idea as to
the present political situation.
After referring1 in words which pro
voked wild cheers to the possibility of
Iowa having the next president, Mr.
Lane said for the financial policy of
the Republican party: "Hold and silver
have always beon, and will continue to
be, the money of the world. They are
not the creatures of legislation. These
metals are the naturul money of the
world, beeauso of their divisibility and
their non-destruetibillty. The value or
price of these metals, gold and silver, is
and must of necessity be determined
and measured by the same rule applied
to all other commodities—that is by
the quantity produced and the de
mand for its use. Ily this rule gold la
more precious and silver the less valu
able. Wo recogniae this difference in
value in the coinage of silver and gold
Into money at a fixed ratio. That
ratio thus fixed may become changed
and seriously disturbed by an abnor
mal increuse In the production of one
or the other.
• I he enormous production of silver
in the past few years, in this and other
countries, has increased the quantity
without relatively increasing the de
mand and has lowered the value. Sil
ver being necessary in the money
world, wo must either maintain its
coinage at par, by legislative limita
tion of the amount, or change the
coinage ratio to the basis of
its market - value. Under tho pol
icy of legislative limitation of tho
amount, uided by redemption when
in excess of the demand, we have
been able to maintain ut par our silver
coin, although its intrinsie value is
much less. This policy was satisfac
tory so long us the price of silver con
tinued high, but when it became
reduced on account of the overproduc
tion and other causes, there sprung up
of demand, by the producers of sil ver,
for special silver legislation. This
claim iias now crystnllzed into a de
mand for the free and unlimited coin
age of gold ami silver at tne ratio of
16 to 1. This means to give to
every man, to every nation, the right
to deposit at the mints of the
United States silver in unlimited quan
tity, and to demand and receive in re
turn, free of charge or cost, that silver
coined into money at the ratio of 16 to
1 bearing the stamp of our govern
ment. in my. judgment such a policy
will establish America to be the dump
ing ground of silver for the world. It
means we would be brought at once to
a silver basis. It means tho degrada
tion of our dollar to fifty cents. It
means repudiation. It will bring an
avalanche of silver, but a rest for la
bor.
“In tho past the Republican party
has espoused the cause of the poop le
on all tho great questions affecting
their interests So now the Republi
can party must not be lured aside by
what might be called an apparent
craze sweeping over the country, but
must take its position according to the
very right of this question. In my
view wo should favor bimetallism, the
use of both silver and gold with the
largest use of silver in our currency
that will not impair or endan
ger in any way the parity
in value of all money in circulation,
whether metallic or paper. That we
should favor an international confer
ence to adopt such measure as will in
sure a parity of value between gold
and silver for use as money throughout
the world. That the United States
should not open its mints to free coin
age of silver until an arrangement
shall have been made with other lead
ing nations, whereby they will agree
to concurrently open their mints to
free coinage at an agreed ratio.”
When Senator Allison appeared on
the platform at the opening of the
convention there was a pandemonium
of cheering, to which lie responded
w-ith a bow, and was then seated.
When Temporary Chairman Lane re
ferred to Allison as a presidential pos
sibility the applause became so great
and continued that ex-United States
Senator George G. Wright of this city,
led Mr. Allison again to the front of
the stage, while he blushed like a
school girl and tears rolled down his
cheeks.
The convention adjourned till 2
o'clock. The platform will be in line
with Lane's speech.
HARRISON ON bibi'CLING.
The Ex-President Denies Condemning
Their Use by Women.
Indianapolis, Ind., July 11.—The
attention of General Benjamin Harri
son, being called to an alleged inter
view published in New York, in which
he was made to say that he was op
posed to the use of bicycles l>y women,
he wasfjuiek to deny having said what
was attributed to him.
‘•I have,” said the ex-president,
“talked with no newspaper man on
such a subject. 1 may have said some
thing to personal friends on this sub
ject, but my views are not in accord
with the views expressed in that arti
cle. 1 expect it is another one of those
made-up articles for which New York
newspaper men are famous.” Only
last week a local bicycle firm shipped
two wheels to Saratoga, one for Mrs.
McKee, General Harrison’s daughter,
and the other fo- licr sou.

were well rubbed down and had break
fust at 7:30 o’clock. They were all
well und in the beat of spirits, da the
Trinity crew paddled into position In
order to meet Cornell In the fourth
heat of the trial racon for the grand
challenge cup they mot with a rousing
reception. Their average welg.t was
10S pounds.
Cornell was slow In taking up posi
tion on the llerkshlre Side. The word
“go” was given at 12:!13 o'clock, and
Cornell unuglit the water first, and
started with a stroke of 40 to Trinity's
43. Cornell was half a length ahead
on tnrnlng into the course after pass
ing Kegutta island. Then the Cornell
runners began to encourage the Amer
ican crew and under this stimulus the
Cornell men, who had dropped t.o 88,
spurted and Increased their leat, to a
length. Trinity was then splashing
slightly.
Cornell made the half mile In two
minutes and twenty-five seconds, bnt
passing Frawley court went to pieces.
Freeborn, No. 4, In the Cornell boat
dropped his oar and put his hands to
his face. The Cornell crew aerated
paralysed at this. Hall, stroke of the
Cornell crew, seemed not to under
stand what was interfering with the
momentum of the boat and half
turned round. By the time the Cor
nell crew were again at work Trinity
Hall was a length ahead.
The Cornell crew then became so
rattled that they rowed tike a lot of
school boys, and linger. No. a, dropped
his oar and fell bock into the arms of
Spellman, No. 2. The latter Instantly
relieved him, and as Hager did not re
cover himself, Colson, the coxswain,
called ont sharply, “What are you
about there?” llager then resumed
his oar and seemed to try to row, but
no sooner had the crew recommenced
palling with Trinity ball five lengths
ahead than Freeborn again dropped
his oar and with one hund before his
eyes seemed to grope blindly to recover
it. lly this time Trinity hall was
seven or eight lengths ahead, rowing
to a long, even stroke, and they could
plainly be seen laughing to one an
other.
jussing uio muc post in uve minutes
twenty-two seconds, Fennell's head
fell forward and ho seemed about to
faint. lie also dropped Ills oar and
rubbed his forehead. The shouts of
encouragement of little Colson, the
Cornell coxswain, could bo distinctly
heard above the din of cheering from
the shore, where tho Cornell men were
running' along the bank, frantically en
deavoring to encouruge the crew. Fen
nell recovered and tried to row, but his
oar struck tho water llat, although it
was sometimes in the proper position.
The Trinity crew was then hopeless
ly ahead and the race was virtually
over. Tho crowds on the river
banks and in tho lioats along
the shore were frantic with de
light at Cornell's unfortunate situation,
but the Cornell men continued to run
along the shore shouting all kinds of
encouragement to the demoralized
crew.
Tho Cornell men in tho boat, how
ever, seemed more lit to be in their
cottips than in a boat race. The Amer
ican spectators ashore and afloat were
heart broken at the collapse. The
grand stand was tilled with brightly
dressed American girls and many of
them were crying at the finish.
Trinity Halt won the race easily by
eight lengths and as the Cornell boat
crossed the finish lino Fennell fell
from his seat in a dead fuint.
The Britishers were wild with de
light when Irinity passed Cornell at
the three-quarter post, but worda
failed to express their enthusiasm
when Trinity Hall won and Cornell
tailed along past the grand stand,
l’lien the Cornell men were received
with hisses. They stopped rowing be
fore they passed the jndges who hoist
ed the sign, “Not rowed out.” *
The hand then played “God Save the
3ueen” as the crowd cheered itself
lioarse, and Fennell lay as if dead in
the bottom of the Cornell boat, while
his nearest companions splashed water
in his face. He soon recovered, and
the Cornell crew slowly paddled to
their boat house.
The general opinion is that the Cor
nell crew were hopelessly overtrained
ind that there was no climate or mala
ria about it. Colson, who acted as
spokesman for the Cornell crew, said:
‘We had a hard race and we were
fairly and squarely beaten.”
RUSSIA'S GENEROUS OFFER
Czar Alexander III Ready to Ad van ce Gold
to America.
Washington, July 11.—“Discussion
of the (fold reserve in the treasury and
the action past and probable of the
Morgatt-Rothsohild bond syndicate
brought to light to-day the fact that
Czar Alexander III of Itussia offered
to I/.an to the United States all the
go/d necessary to maintain the rcservo
at any figure desired. The friendly
tender was declined by President
Cleveland because, after several weeks
of consideration and deliberation and
telegraphic correspondence back and
forth between Washington and St.
Petersburg, it was decided that the
president had not the authority to issue
bonds or otherwise incur indebtedness
on behalf of the government. Since
then the power of the president and
the secretary of the treasury to issue
bonds has been determined, and if the
offer were repeated by the present Rus
sian ruler it might be accepted.
“The story of the proposition made
by the czar, and the way it was re
ceived by the president anil his ad
visers was one of the liest kept secrets
of the white house. Although the in
cident occurred some two years ago, no
hint of it has reached the public until
now."

fore next May, and thereafter about
