The 611ver Party.
Washington, Nov. 14. — Secretary
t)iflenderfer said to-day: “The Na
tional Silver party will maintain per
manent headquarters at Washington
with a branch in Chicago. All of the
5,000 silver clubs belonging to the Sil
ver party are requested to maintain
their organization. The Silver party
accomplished great work with the Re
publicans, and it will be the party in
1900. Its platform is simple—the single
money plank—and it will more readily
unite all of the friends of bimetallism
than will any other party. During the
off ISBff wW sent out 10,000,600
pieces of literature and organized 5,000
dubs. Our future work will consist
in organizing clubs and educating the
people.” ’ /
“What in your judgment will be the
policy of the silver representatives in
the present and subsequent congresses
regarding tariff legislation?”
“1 am unable to say how individual
..members wiU.’ stand upon that- ques
tion, but' from interviews; I have had
'And communications received I am in
clined to think many favor non-inter
ference with any tariff measures.that,
may be proposed by the Republicans
and gold Democrats. I think the trend
of sentiment is to place responsibility
where it properly belongs. We, as
silver advocates, know in advance that
a tariff without a marked change in
our currency legislation will not fur
nish relief to our industries. The cry
of over-production made by our Re
■ • publican friends during the campaign
is to be met by opening our mills and
manufacturing more. They have the
-President and • they have . Congress.
. • 'They have also a large contract on
hand. One tiling I can assure you of,
and that is, no compromise on silver
will be permitted under any circum

elected for a term of fopr years. 1
During the morning friends of Sam
uel W. Allerton of Chicago were wor
ried because of the throttling of the
resolution indorsing hiin for Secretary
., of Agriculture. When- it was seen
there was a strong opposition to him,
• because of the Interests behind him,
Allerton's friends withdrew a second
resolution which had been prepared to
place before the congress, with the
{potion that it be passed under a sus
pension of the rules..
Another resolution, offered by J. A.
Quirk, petitioned the governmental
Congress to restore the sugar bounty
of two cents, to protect the beet and
cane sugar industries of the United
States.
The committee on resolutions re
ported in favor of the following reso
lutions and their recommendations
were adopted:
That Congress provide an amend
ment to the constitution to grant to
/Women the right of suffrage and the
ballot that man now enjoys; that the
laws against trusts be amended and
enforced: that the growth of beet and
cane sugars be encouraged; that
the Farmers’ National congress is in
favor of suffrage for women in munic
ipal. state and national matters; that
the postoffice department forward the
betterment of mail facilities to rural
communities; that the United States
Congress take measures to prevent the
spread of hog cholera and other swine

HAS AN ARMY IN ASIA.
Cassia Has 113,001) Men In the Vlndlvn
stock District.
San Francisco. Nov. 14.—A letter
containing a duplicate of advices sent
by the regular correspondent of the
Hong Kong press at Vladivostock was
received by the last China steamer and
was turned over to the Bulletin to-day.
The communication shows that the
czar is massing troops in the Vladivo
stoek district and has already a num
ber of naval vessels concentrated in
Northern waters. The principal de
tails of the situation are contained in
' 'the following paragraph:
“Although the Russian government
explains that the massing of troops in
the 1’rimor.sk and Eastern Siberia is
due to ‘exchange of army divisions.' it
is learned that in all the divisions of
Vladivostock there are not less than
112,000 men of arms, which monster
army is looked upon as a menace to the
peace of Asia."
*»A Currency Coin inis,ion Possible.
Washington. Nov. 14.—During the
last session of Congress Representative
Heatwole of Minnesota introduced a
resolution providing for a non-partisan
currency commission of nine citizens,
eminent in trade, political economy
and banking, to act with the comp
troller of the currency to offer recom
mendations for needed changes in the
present banking and currency system.
This resolution, it is said, may be
pressed during the coming session of
Coneress.

YOUR UNCLE SAM,
He Looms Dp In Great Shape in the OM
World.
London, Not. 14.—The Speaker pub
lishea an article by “A Leading Publi
cist,” in which the writer, after recall
ing Lord Salisbury's reply to Secretarj
Olney in regard to Monroeism, says
‘•An entirely new order of things hat
been established by the Anglo-Ameri
can understanding. Mr. Olney’s ex
tension of the Monroe doctrine itself
not before acknowledged by any Euro
pean power, has now received th«
sanction of Great Britain. But il
would be profitless, as well as some
what painful, to touch upon thil
delicate ground. What had to tx
done, had to be done, and that it
the long and short of it. We may not
like it, but there ought to be no diffi
culty in choosing between the absurdity
of complaining over the inevitable and
the dignity of smiling acquiescence.
The British government is perfectly
right now, Without being wrong six 01
ten months ago. It is exactly a case
of our policy of staving off as long a<
possible the domination of Russia, now
so complete. To continue that policy
when the game is up would be merely
to cling to antiquated superstitions and
antiquated diplomacy.”
Pabib, Nov. 14.—The Temps to-day
expressed itself as being greatly con
cerned at the “enormous extension of
Monroeism involved in the Anglo
American entente,” adding: “It con
ifers upon America the right to settle
any difference between an American
state and European power without the
authority of the American state inter
ested. This is a big innovation in in
ternational law and endows the United
States with absolute supremacy in
their hemisphere. It must be a bitter
pill to British pride to consent to this.”
In conclusion, the Temps expresses a
doubt as to whether Europe will accept
this agreement as a precedent.
PROF. DYCHE RETURNS.
Think* the North Pole Can Be Reached
by the Alaska Route.
Lawrence, Kan., Nov. 14.—Professor
L. L. Dyche, who left Lawrence five
months ago for Alaska to secure nat
ural history specimens for the Kansas
university museums, returned home
yesterday afternoon.
Professor Dyche got seventeen whole
skins of1 the white Bocky Mountain
sheep, six young sea otters, which he
traded for from the Indians; 250 birds,
many small mammals, a group of five
fur seals and some bears. He took 350
photographs, got a large number of
curious and was successful in every
way in getting what he went for.
When asked about a north pole pas
sage through the Alaskan route, Pro
fessor Dyche replied that he thought
it was perfectly feasible and that his
ship captain and whalers had told him
that it was often possible to go as far
north as 83 degrees, and that some of.
the whalers were of the belief that
some seasons it would be possible to
sail clear through the north pole, on
account of the shifting of the ice.
the TEXAS FATALLY WEAK
Bulkheads, Supposed to Have Been Water
Tight, of No Value at All.
Washington, Nov. 1.4—The inquiry
which is proceeding at the New York
navy yard into the circumstances under
which the Texas sank at her dock re
cently, has brought to light the fact
that the bulkheads separating the
ship into supposedly water tight com
partments are so light that they
spring under pressure of water and
cause great leaks. Although the mag
azine is separated from the engine
rooms by a continuous bulkhead with
out a door opening it was soon filled
by the water which ran around the
edges and through the seams of the
metal. A naval expert is authority
for the statement that if the Texas’ sea
valve had broken at sea, the vessel
would surely have foundered owing to
the failure of the bulkheads and doors.
HOME FOR ACTRESSES,
Corlnne Provides a Refuge for Aged
and Unemployed Stage Women.
San Francisco, Nov. 14.—Corinne,
the actress, now playing at the Colum
bia theater in this city, made her will
yesterday. 15y it her jewelry, real
estate, every costume and every bit of
her personal property will be sold for
what it will bring. This should ag
gate 8750,000, and with it a good sized
tract of land is to be purchased just
outside New York. Upon this the
“Corinne home for aged and unem
ployed actresses” will be built. Two
Eastern men of unimpeachable reputa
tion were named as trustees of the in
stitution. Her idea is that the home
should be open so that actresses can
go and come as their necessities dic

Gibbons has denied himself to a.l re
porters who have sought to talk with
him upon the rumors regarding the
relations of himself and Archbishop

not regard the statement that it is

HANNA ON THE CAMPAIGN.
The Republican Manager Makes a Little
Speech to New Yorkers.
Nkw Yokk, Nov.ll.—The committee
on organization of the McKinley
league, the state Republican organiza
tion, which opposes the faction led by
ex-Senator Platt, held a meeting last
night which was made notable by the
presence of Chairman Hanna of the
Republican national committee. Ex
Senator Warner Miller, John Mulhol
land and T. V. Powderly were among
those who took part in the proceedings.
The president of the league, George
Matthews of Buffalo, spoke of Mr.
Hanna as one “under whose leader
ship the forces of .honesty and Amer
canism have won the greatest victory
the people of this country have known
since Appomattox.”
In response Mr. Hanna said: “I
wish that I had time to give to you
workers something of the details of
the last campaign. You in the East,
except those who have been at work in
the field, can know but little about the
work in the Western states and be
yond, and, therefore, cannot judge
properly what this battle has been. 1
have been more than gratified since
coming to New York to hear the kind
expressions on all sides. Of course, it
touches a man's vanity, and it did
mine. But it went deeper than that;
it has touched my heart; and when 1
look into the earnest faces around me,
I begin to fully appreciate that every
man in this room is upon the
side of honest government, and
in the efforts put forth in this
great campaign he among many has
been a patriot, and none more so than
the members of the McKinley league
of the state of New York. I desire to
make use of this opportunity then to
thank you from my heart for your
hearty co-operation, and to hope that
as you pursue the lines of your work
in the future that you will be guided
entirely by those patriotic feelings,
and do whatever is best for the good of
our party and our country without re
gard to personalities. I judge a man’s
patriotism by the sacrifices he has
made. Let that be your motto under
whatever banner you work for the fu
ture, and you will find in me a stead
fast friend.
CUBAN STORIES DENIED.
Secretary of War I.amont Denounces
Various Rumors.
Washington, Nov. 11.—“There has
been no change in the policy of the ad
ministration regarding Cuba,” said
Secretary I.amont last night, “and as
far as I know none has been contem
plated since the adjournment of Con
gress. So far as the visit of Consul
General Lee to Washington is con
cerned, it has no more significance
than my walking from the War de
partment to my residence would have.
There were private matters demanding
General Lee's attention in this country,
and he came home to attend to them.
He took advantage of this oppor
tunity to enlighten the President
as to the condition of affairs and the
exact situation in Cuba. What the
President's intentions may be in this
matter are known only to himself, and
these speculations and surmises about
a proclamation according belligerent
rights to the Cubans are manufactured
out of whole cloth. As a matter of
fact, the President has not even begun
the preparation of his annual message
to Congress. Nobody has been taken
into his confidence on the Cuban ques
tion and the people who are attempt
ing to outline a plan for him are
simply indulging in rot.

Watson’s Letter of Acceptance.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 13—The letter
of acceptance written by Thomas Wat
son accepting1 the Populist nomination
for Vico President was yesterday made
public. Seven columns of Watson's
People’s party paper are devoted to it.
The letter is supplemented by four col
umns of advice to Populists to “sit
steady in the boat and hold their party
together.” The editorial tone of the
paper is one of fulfilled prophecy.
Watson declares that the failure of the
Populists to support Bryan in the close
states brought about McKinley's elec
tion. He goes into a long review of
the circumstances leading to his nomi
nation and accepts the Vice Presi
dential nomination “because I said I
would.”
lio doclares that if the St. Louis Pop
ulist convention had nominated a
straight Populist ticket it would have
been elected. It would, he said have
driven the Hills and Gormans where
they belong—into the Republican
ranks—and the Bryans and Blands
would have joined with the Populists.
He ct mplains bitterly of the treatment
he has received at the hands of the
Populist leaders, and addresses himself
particularly to Senator Butler in this
way:
"Senator, a reform has no right to exist If
It has no valid complaint to make. Populists
cannot denounce the sins of the two old par
ties and yet go Into political co-partnership
with them. The moment we make a treaty,
the war must cease. And when we cease our
war upon the old parties we have no longer
any excuse for living. When right compro
mises with wrong It Is the right which
suffers.
ine Democratic managers seem to re
sent as a strange piece of impertinence the
fact that the Populists dared to nominate a
ticket differing at the rear end from theirs.
Coming to them with the 2.000.000 votes
they were begging for, and piteously need
ing, I can say, with a perfect assurance of
telling the unqualified truth, that my ar
rival on the Held of battle was not welcomed
as heartily as Blucher was received by Well
ington at Waterloo. They want my rein
forcement, but they do not want me to lead
them. They need Blucher's troops, but they
draw the line at Blucher. That is hardly
fair, either to Blucher or his troops, nor is
it the best way to defeat Napoleon.
"For this attitude upon the part of the
Democratic managers, I believe you, Sen
ator, are largely responsible. You made no
effort to have me recognized. You publicly
stated that I would not be notified of my
nomination. You went into the fusion pol
icy over my written protest, with all the
zeal of a man who wanted to elect the Demo
cratic ticket In this I think you were
wrong. As chairman of the Populist
committee, the party certainly expected
you to do all 5'ou could to elect the Popu
list ticket. Had you demanded Mr. Sew
all's withdrawal from the ticket he would
have withdrawn. I have a letter of yours
In which you state that the Democratic com
mittee expected you to make the demand,
but that you did not make It From the per
versity of temper with which the Demo
cratic managers have refused to do the
right thing by the Populists, it would seem
they prefer McKtnleyism to anything which
might seem to lie partly a Populist triumph.
Their subtle purpose is to couple the Bryan
election with the complete destruction of
the Populist party.
"The position taken in this letter will be
bitterly assailed. Would that the pathway
of duty were always carpeted with flowers.
It rarely Is. By making myself and the
great party I represent a mere footmat for
Democratic politicians to wipe their feet
upon, I could win much applause from that
quarter. But If I were now lacking in the
loyalty which was expected of me when
chosen I would grieve the men who have
honored me, trusted me, and defended and
loved me.
‘ No one regrets more profoundly than I
do that the Democratic managers have so
shaped the campaign that the South has
again been told she must grovel in the dust
and let an Kastern plutocrat put his foot up
on her neck. Nor does any one regret more
than I do that the Democratic managers,
in shaping their fusion deals, have
considered those Populists only who
arc getting loaves and llshes. They have lost
sight of the great army of privates, whose
honest hearts and sincere souls form the
strength of the re-enforcement Mr. Bryan
needs. Those Populists of the rank and die
have the spirit of crusaders, and they would
die for a principle more quickly than they
would sell it. These men will not vote for
Sewall. nor for Scwall electors. If Senators
Jones and Gorman really wish to defeat Mc
Kinley, let them lose no time in realizing
this truth." •

Senator Teller Decline* to Talk.
T>knykr, Col.. Nov. 13.—“It would be
very impolite for us to show our hands
now and make our intent plain to the
opposition.” said Senator 'Teller when
asked whether it would be possible to
pass a tariff bill through the coming
Senate without a silver rider. “I have
received several telegrams from the
Eastern press, requesting an answer to
that same question, but have refrained
from making a definite reply. Speak
ing for myself I can say that 1 have
not us yet made up my mind regarding
the comparative strength of the par
ties in the Senate.”
THE FARMERS’ CONGRESS.'
A New Coinage Scheme Discussed— A*
International Wat.
Indianapolis, Ind., Not, 13.—At
yesterday’s session of the Farmers’ na*
tional congress, in session here, Gen
eral Roy Stone, of the department of
agriculture, Washington, read a paper
entitled “The Battle Is Over; Shall
the War Oo On?’’ He said in part:
“Though the presidential election of
1896 turned almost wholly upon ‘sil
ver,’ it touched only a side issue of the
great ‘silver question;’ it dealt only
with the merits and the perils of
American free coinage. Even upon
that side issue, this election, of itself,
may settle nothing. It is not in human
nature that a party which has made
such headway in its first fight should
be willing to accept one defeat as
final. Unless, therefore, the situation
is wholly changed by some wise action
of the victors, this campaign may only
serve to draw up the opposing forces
and embitter the existing antagonisms
for a hotter conflict in the future, and
one in which this minor detail will
still continue to obscure and displace
the main question in this ease—the
question that will have to be met and
met wich deliberation when the strife
has ended in ruin or exhaustion.”

OFFENSIVE PARTISANSHIP.
An Explanation of tho Policy of the Ad*
ministration,
Wasitingtojt, Nov. 13.—Tie general
policy of the administration with re
spect to removals and dismissals based
on campaign activity was this morning
rather frankly stated by an officer of •
the cabinet as follows: “The mere fact
that a federal official voted for Bryan
presents no reason whatever for his
dismissal. The fact that in his own
community he advocated Bryan’s in
terests and urged his election offers no
occasion for his removal unless such
advocacy was conducted to the neglect
of his official duties. But suppose
this case, that a federal official
couples with such advocacy abusive
comment of that administration of
which he is a part and multiplies op
portunities at home and away from
it, to declare grossly offensive things
with relation to, the administration of
which he is a member, then if he has
not the decency voluntarily to sever
his connection with that which he has
assailed, he ought to be dismissed. No
federal official, therefore, in Kansas or
Missouri need fear that he will be un
justly dealt with. If charges are filed
that he voted for Bryan they need give -
him no concern, he will not be re
moved on that ground alone. Only
those officers of the government in any
quarter need entertain apprehension
who have voluntarily gone out of their
way to bring the conduct of the gov
ernment into disrepute by gross and.
offensive assaults upon it.”
