an answer to his inquiry of yesterday
"It reaffirms General Otis' estimate
made some time ago," said the secre
tary, "that 30,000 men would be suffi

stated yesterday the regulars now on
the way or under orders to go to th
Philippines will give General Otis about
24,000 or 25,000 men after the withdraw-

'Where will the additional 5.000 or
6,000 men for whom General Otis asks
come from?" the secretary was asked,
"That has not been definitely deter
mined as yet," he replied. . "We may be
able to take the additional troops asked
for from the regulars now located In
this country, Cuba and Porto Rico, o:
It may be found advisable to muster in
volunteers."
In case it Is decided to call for vol
unteers will the call only be for the
6,000 or 6,000 men necessary to bring
General Otis' total up to 50.000?"
If volunteers are called for," replied
the secretary, "the call will probably
be for 10,000 men."

This Information was embodied In the
shape of a message which was cabled
to General Otis, as follows:

Louisville, Ky. (Special.) The Ohio
Valley League of Bimetallic clubs, com
prising the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illi
nois and Kentucky held its third an
nual convention In this city. Macauley's
theater, the scene of the gathering of
the white metal hosts, was profusely
decorated when the convention was
called to order.
A likeness of William J. Bryan was
suspended from the wall over the
speaker's stand, while pictures of
Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jack
son hung from the two upper boxes.
The national colors in flags and bunt
ing completely covered the walls of
the theater, presenting an Inviting and
artistic appearance, while a brass band
discoursed the national airs at Inter
vals.
Prominent delegates and visitors were
men whose words have been of na
tional significance, and what was lack

by the augmented enthusiasm of those
In attendance, for when President Tar-
Vln of the Bimetallic league began his
annual address the lower floor was only
comfortably filled, while the balcony
was only partially occupied and the
gallery entirely deserted. The boxes
were occupied by ladles, wives and
daughters of the delegates. But as the
convention progressed the crowd In
creased, until perhaps 1,000 people were
In the theater.
The convention waa called to order
at 2:30 by Chairman Semonln of the
local committee, who introduced Mayor
Weaver of Louisville. He extended a
hearty welcome to the visiting dele
gates, told them that the key to the
city was In their possession and that
their work would be well done if they
endorsed Bryan for president In 1S00.
FULL OF SIGNIFICANCE.
At the conclusion of his address
Judge J. P. Tarvln of Covington, Ky
president of the Bimetallic league, was
introduced, and spoke at considerable
length. His remarks were at times re
celved with the greatest enthusiasm.
any reference to the reaffirmation of the
Chicago platform or an Indorsement of
William Jennings Bryan as the presl
dentlal nominee being the signal for
vociferous applause.
President Tarvln's speech waa of
more than passing national significance
as It presaged what la to happen if the
temper of the delegates as shown is a
fair criterion of the sentiment prevail
ing In their respective JitHot, for
when he declared that bimetallism and
the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of W to 1, as was enunciated in the
Chicago platform of 1S96, would be the
paramount issue In the presidential
campaign of 1900, regardless of the ef
forts to have the question of trusts
supplant It. It met with an outburst
of applause that Indicated an over
whelming approval of the utterances
of the speaker.
It was evident, too, from the recep
tion of all references to the Nebraska
statesman, that resolutions would be
adopted Indorsing his candidacy for the
presidential nomination, and that in
corporated In the resolution will be i
reaffirmation of the principles as out
lined In the Chicago platform.
,. JUDGE TARVIN'S SPEECH.
Mr. Tarvln said In part:
"The sincerity of welcome and the
courtesy accorded to the delegates of
this convention by the people of Louis
vllle. Irrespective of political belief, is
an evidence of the fact that the most
momentous and vital question of gov
emment can be settled by the voters of
this country by legal procedure and In
peace.
"I know that It may be said on be
half of those composing this conven
tlon that your welcome Is appreciated
to the fullest extent, and that we are
glad to be here, and that we hope to be
honored In the course of this convention
by the presence of Louisville's cltlaens,
without regard to party or want of
party; our only preference being that
we hope that In the attendance of the
women of Louisville and the men of
Louisville the ratio may be 16 to 1.
"We are not Invested with the au
thority to say what the democratic na
Uonal platform of 1900 shall be, nor do
we undertake to dictate what It shall
be, nor do we undertake to dictate tr
exercise the Inalienable right of ex
pressing our opinion as to what It ought
to be, provided the exercise of that
light has not been prohibited by the
postmaster general or the attorney gen
eral of the royalist administration now
In power in the nation. We want to
first Inquire whst Issue Is to be deter
mined In 100; what question Is to be
settled.

IN I nht not to be to effect or to control
or to regulate the distribution of the
f ruits of labor. That distribution should
be governed only by natural laws. To
control it by law is to attain the same
ends sought and accomplished at those
times In history when governments
were administered only by armed force,
and when by armed force the fruits of
those who labored were taken from
them and given to thoee who did not
labor. Millions of men have died and
hundreds of revolutions have arisen in
order to destroy the administration of
government In this way, until today
those who labor have not to fear the
use of armed force, but Instead and In
lieu thereof, the misuse of government
and the abuse of legislation and the
power of adjudication. They have not
to fear the armed warriors at their
doors, but they have to fear the dom
inated congress and the appointed and
dominated Judge.
"The question to be determined in
1900 for the time is, whether the gov
ernment shall be administered by the
representatives of organized capital or
whether it shall be administered by the
people in such a way as to rermlt the
operation of natural laws In the distri
bution of the fruits of labor, sometimes
called money, sometimes known as
wealth.
"With this knowledge of the.questlon
at Issue this convention may express
an opinion as to the platform that
ought to be adopted by the democratic
convention of 1900, for It happens that
the organization of the democratic par
ty in this country Is now in the hands
of those who believe that the govern
ment should be administered by the
people and not for the benefit of the
organized wealth of the country. It
has not always been true that the or
ganization of the democratic party has
oeen so controlled, and for eight year
It was under the same domination of
the same forces now controlling the
republican party. There has not been
a single national administration since
the close of the civil war that has not
been dominated by the wealth of the
country, and that has not been 'used to
divert the fruits of labor from those
who labor to those who do not labor
This convention Is representative of the
brave and sincere people of ofur great
states. It Is representative of a people
Independent of the Gemination of and

serve or conditions for the free and un
limited coinage of silver and gold at
the ratio of 16 to 1, by the United
States, without awaiting the action of
any other country on earth. We ex
press our opinions that this plank ought
to be in the democratic national plat
form of 1900. We are of the opinion that
no steps should be taken to ogscure
this doctrine or to relegate it. We be
lieve that the democratic national con
vention of 1900 should adopt the Chi
cago platform of 1S96 without the omis
sion of a word, a letter or a punctuation
mark; and that It should add thereto
a specific and an appropriate declara
tion against the existence and the or
ganliatlon of trusts and combinations,
and a specific promise of legislative ac
tion looking to their extermination;
and that It should add thereto a declar
ation against any policy of Imperial-
Ism, appropriate to an absolute gov
ernment, but repugnant to every line of
the bill of rights and the constitution

STAND ON CHICAGO PLATFORM.
"We venture to express the opinion
that the democratic platform of 1900
ought to be made by democrats, and
that those who are not democrats ought
not to undertake to dictate what that
platform shall be. We believe that
those who made the platform of 1894
and who contended for the success of
that platform In that year, and who
placed the democratic organization un
der the control of the people should
make the democratic platform of 1900.
We believe that the democratic na
tional convention of 1900 should be
composed of those who are now in sym
pathy with and In accord with the
democratic party as now organized, and
not of those who are hostile to It and
If a convention so composed should see
fit to take away from or to alter the
Chicago platform of 189 It will then
remain to be seen whether the people
of this country will Indorse It.
"The trust Is the highest form of con
centrated wealth yet known. It Is the
perfection of the ownership by the
moneyed class of all the fruits of labor
of all the land. The trust meets with
universal condemnation; yet as we may
observe that some of those who con
demn have the power to destroy the
trust but fall to do so. We may ob
serve that the office of attorney gen
eral of the United States.througb which
the trust could be destroyed, has been
filled by one who was the governor of
New Jersey, the hotbed and birthplace
of trusts, and who was created and
who Is owned by the trusts. We may
observe that those connected with the
present national administration con
demn trusts, and yet the power of the
administration to destroy trusts Is not
exercised. We may remember that the
republican national convention of UN
denounced tha gold standard and that
thereafter th advocates of th fold
standard sapptled the money with
which to buy th lection of the aom-
aee of that s vsstion.
"W may bear from oms that they
ryes th trast, bat frr th gold
declaration Is lacking either In InteiU-
genoe or in sincerity.
VITAL DECLARATION.
"It Is contended by some that th
democratic national convention of 1900
should omit from Hs platform the de
claration In favor of Independent bimet
allism at It to 1 and should rely upon
a declaration against trusts. Those
who contend for this course are seek
ing only to place the demonetisation of
the organized wealth of the country,
which now owns and controls the re
publican organization. Tou all remem
ber the contest of 189. Tou all re
member the unprecedented and magnif
icent fight made by the democracy In
that year, without money and without
resources, and against the organized
wealth and all the corporate influences
of the land. Tou know that every
vote cast for the democratic nominee
for the presidency in 19 was an un
purchasable, an honest vote, and you
all know that a large proportion of the
votes cast against that nominee were
had by purchase or by force. Those
who contended against the democracy
In 1S96 are mortally afraid of the con
test coming In 1900. Every supporter
of a trust, every advocate of the gold
standard, every appendage to the pres
ent administration, Is trembling with
apprehension at the prospects offered
by l&OO. They fear another open fight;
they dare not go forth to meet it If It
can be avoided, and the man who ad
vocates the omission of the plank fa
voring the Independent bimetallism at
18 to 1 In the democratic platform of
1900 and a reliance upon a dcmocralls
declaration against trusts, la seeking,
not the success of democracy In that
year, but Is seeking only to lure the
democratic party from the only plat
form on which It can know success.
HIDING THE ISSUE.
"The organized weulth of the land,
realizing the danger Impending over It
In 1900, and fearing the result of a
contest In that year on the lines as laid,
down In 1S96, Is seeking to save Itself
by diverting the attention of the people
from the real issue, and by securing a
departure by the democracy from the
lines laid down In 1896, and to that end
you have men calling themselves dem
ocrats, going about today, declaring for
a platform broad enough for all demo
crats to stand upon, and you have men
calling themselves democrats, declar
ing that we should omit the plank fa
voring Independent bimetallism at II
to 1, In the platform of 1900; and you
find the political boss of New Tork city
undertaking to dictate to the same
end the platform of 1900, and offering to
support the democratic party if it will
surrender the democracy, and offering
to support Mr. Bryan if he will only
giveup that for which he contended in.
1896.
"In my Judgment the democracy of"
this nation should enter Into no alli
ance with those In control of the dem
ocratic organization In New Tork city.
"Those who call themselves republi
cans today ought to take well to heart
the words of Abraham Lincoln, 'I see
In the near future a crisis approaching

Remember the lives that vera lust, the
blood that was shed, and property that
was destroyed to bring freedom to the

Telling girls "How to Be Pretty, Tho'
Plain," Mrs. Humphry, In the Ladles'
Home Journal, guarantees any girl a
good complexion who will wash her
face every night and morning, and
twice a day besides, according to ber di
rections: "The water must not be
quite cold In winter, and soap should
be used but once a day. The fingers
are better than any sponge or glove or
flannel, and they should be used as
tne masseuse use hers, pressing them
flrmly but gently into the akin and
passing them two or three times over
every inch of the face. More particular
pains should be devoted to the corners,
