TELEPHONE 419 TOOK TO THE WOODS, lAiicoln Neb., Oct. 25, 1808. Hon. E. J. Burkctt, Lincoln, Neb. My Dear ftlr! The chairman of my committee some weeks ago aUdrcmcd to the chairman of your committee a chal lenge to Joint debate, .That challenge has failed to receive even the scant eourfccny of a reply, Perhaps your uhnlrmnn has neglected to call the matter to youi attention, I now dcelre. to address you at first hand. I am told that you are publicly declaring the silver homo to be a dead ihtje. I notice that your organ, the Nebraska ritate Journal, so adjudi cates It I am further Informed that you take the position that the only Is iue of this congressional campaign Is whether or not the hand of the president of the United Bute are to 1)0 upheld by the election of congress men who agree with him on all ques tions. That you declare that what ever McKlnley is for that you are for also, ' ' On this statement I challenge your position. 1 declare the American con gress to be a co-ordinate branch of government. I believe that congress men should be elected not to go to any man or combination of men to learn what they are to favor and what op pose, but to represent the oplrvloa and iivtertwU of their constituent. Jiut I will meet you on this ground. I challenge you now to a eerie of Joint debate, seven in niwnlxr, one In each county seat In this district, on the (Inge currency bill. This 1 not a dead isuue. It w an administration measure drafted by Secretary Gage, approved by President McKlnley, and favorably reported by the republican majority of the committee on bank ing and currency. It da designed to retire the greenbacks, to make all sil ver dollars 'redeemable In gold, and to surrender to the national banks gen eral control of the currency of the country. It creates a division in the treasury department to be known as the division of issue and redemption, (insisting of three comptrollers of the currency to be appointed by the pres ident for a term of twelve yearn and removable only with the consent of the senate for cause stated In writing. To these comptrollers ahull be surr endered all the functions of the treas ury department of the United States "iertfliilng to the iue and redemp tion of notes and certification, and to the exennnge of coin." It provides for the eatablisiiment of branch banks, and a system of clearing house dis tricts which will enable the larger hanking institutions to monopolize the entre banking busLneso or Uie Uitftea States. I believe this bill 1s vicious and a menace to the business and laboring Interests of the country, end if elect ed I will work and vote against it I ask you to meet me in a Join de bate upon this bill before the votes of this district. If you will debate neith er this measure nor the silver ques tion 1 ask you to name the issue of this camnnlirn as you understand it, aud I shall then be glad to meet you in a discussion of that issue. Yours respectfully, ' JAMES MANAHAN. GAGE'S VILE SCHEME.

NO DISCUSSION OF T1IH BILL. .10. This bill is not being discussed, although one of the moot important cter brought before congrcH. It Is to iw sneaked through as uie goiu standard was sneaked through. Mr. MeCleary, the memlwr of the committee that reiwrted this bill, and who is said to be the father of it, went to the Omaha monetary discussion on purpose to discuss paper money, but lie carefully and studiously avoided ony reference to this bill, and when specifically questioned about it he de clined to answer the question. The uly reason the bill was wt prd lie (ore adjournment is that some of the republican members were afraid of their constituent. As soon as r elect ed they will be ready to sell their oun. trv ami betray their people, and this new curse will be upon us, JOHN r. ALTO ELD.

URGE THE CUBANS TO REBEL spsnlib Beak to Crt Troubl tot tb United Stat, Havana, Oct. 25. The Cuban gen eral Rego, has arrived at Havana from Puerto Principe and is preaching in the Havana cafes and tho insurgent camps near the city a holy war against tho Americans, He has interviewed many of the leaders of the Cubans and has urged tho carrying on of war against the Americans if independence is not at once granted to Cuba. ' The Cuban colonel, Torrcnte, has also arrived at lfavana from tho east and Is currying 011 a strong campaign against the Americans and Callxto Garcia, whom he professes to look upon as a traitor to the Cubans and at bribed by American gold, Colonel Tor rente, in an interview with the editor of one of the leading newspapers of Havana, made all sorts of declarations against General Callx to Garcia and the Americans, but the censor would not allow an account of the interview to be published, fearing that it might give rise to disturbances. About fifty Cuban patriotic clubs have been organized in Havana under the management and in a large major ity of cases by physicians, lawyers and other professional men. Many of the members of these clubs attended the first meetings wearing the Cuban and American flags crossed. The presid ing officers of several of the clubs, noticing the insignia in the button holes of the coats of the members, or dered that In future only the Cuban flag should be worn. In many in stances this order was complied with, A secret circular has been sent to the presidents of all the Cuban patri otic committees denounolng a large number of Cubans who are looked upon as traitors to the cause of Cuban inde pendence and are charged with being attached to the Americans. The circu lar recommends vigorous contest against not only Spanish residents, but against Americans as well, "who are endeavoring to steal the Cubans' victory." The Spanish colonel, Ccrvera, mili tary governor of Marlnano, pays dally visits to the insurgent camps in bis district, advising the Cubans not to surrender their arms and to make re slslcnce until the independence of the Island la declared. Colonel Ccrvera is an intimate friend of General Parrado, president of the Spanish evacuation commission. During the last two weeks several hundred Humington carbines and large quantities of ammunition have been sent from Havana, it is presumed by some of the Spanish chiefs. The Span ish residents, manufacturers, mer chants and planters, are ' some what alarmed and criticise in very severo terms the behavior of some of the Spanish chiefs, who, it is alleged, are acting suspiciously la many places and aio working in favor of Cuban independence adviblng tho Cubans to persist in their revolutionary attitude. For this rea son many of the Spanish residents here have written long letters to friends in Madrid In order that tho home govern ment may bo acquainted with what is happening In tho island, and have re quested that on behalf of Spain's in terests and the part of Spanish resi dents tho evacuation may bo completed us soon as possible so as to avoid pro longing tho existing dangerous condl- 1 llou of affairs.

Lord Ssllsborr'S Answer to Franc In tb Bins Book F1ms th Eogllth Prs Pspars Against Allowing Any DUeotsloa of tb Vila's r oil. t Ion. LoNDOir, Oct 26. The English pa pers are full of particulars of naval news, but the only fresh development is an order received at Portsmouth to prepare all the ships of the fleet and the reserve for immediate mobiliza tion. Eight additional war ships there, in consequence, began coaling this morning, and working parties were immediately sent on board the other reserve war vessels at Ports mouth, All interest to-day is centered in the Marquis of Salisbury's addition to the Fashoda correspondence, contained in the publication of the British blue book on that subject. The conservative newspapers declare that tho book dispels the idea spread by the dispatch here of the French am bassador, Baron do Courcul, that the British premier, was willing to nego tiate on the whole question. The Lib eral end Radical organs still consider that the Marquis of Salisbury atti tude admits of negotiations promising a friendly arrangement. The entire press however, scouts the ldoa of the possession of the Fashoda coming within the sphere of the discussion, St. James' Ga.ctte says; "We are prepared to negotiate the question of the western frontier of the Bahr-el-Ghazel district. But we must control the Nile, both banks and water sheds, from its source to the sea." The London Globe thinks the Mar quis of Salisbury has mude it clear that Major Marchand must quit Fasho da without conditions. "Until that is done," the Globe says, "there can be no discussion of tho French claims in Africa." The Globe points out the sig nificant announcement in General Kitchener's report that ho sent gun boats south from Sebut, towards Mesh-ruor-Rek, the principal trading center of the Bahr-el-Gha.ul region, with in structions to establish necessary out posts and that before he left Sebat he completed arrangements for the main tenance of those stations. The Pall Mall Gazette concludes, from the publication of the blue book, that tho French government has been given to understand that, wholly apart from the Fashoda question, its title to the territory abutting upon the left bank of the Nile is "rejected as utterly untenable, and Franco must accept the position or take the consequences." The Westminster Gazette suggests as the solution that the French be granted "way leave" and "enclave" for commercial purposes In the Bahr-cl-Ghazel district. "Way leave" is the right of way over another's ground; 'enclave" is a territory enclosed with in the territories of another power. The French papers to-day are more hopeful and believe that a pacific solu tion of the dispute will be found. The Paris correspondent of the Lon don Daily Chronicle claims to have au thority to say a decision has already been taken by the French government speedily to evacuate Fashoila, and that M. Delcassc, the French foreign min ister, will do his utmost to facilitate a pacific solution. Halifax, Nova Scotia, Oct. H. The British war ships Pallas and Talbot arrived to-day from Bermuda. Gen eral Lord William Seymour, com mander of tho troops in British North America, will return from Ottawa at once, his vioit having been cut short by the unusual activity In military and naval circles at this station.
