A. P. A. IN POLITICS.; — PRESIDENT TRAYNOR SETS FORTH H19 VIEWS. A4rHM Against Patting Op an A. P A. Candidate for President—Only a Few Prominent Republicans liar* do Far Openly Kndersed Their Principle*— Waited Long for Rerngnltlon. i - A. P. A. Annual Address. Washiruton, May is. — The moat noteworthy feature of yesterday's ses sion of the American Protective As sociation was tiie innovation made by giving to the public the annual ad dress of President VV. J. II. Traynor. lie deals at great length with the political phases of the A. P. A. He says: •‘The American Protective Associa- j tIon is to-day a recognized feature in American politics, whose favor is openly courted by political leaders, ! organizers and postulants for public office, who, a year or two ago, ignored, treated with contempt or denounced Then lie warns the order against i eleventh hour converts and says: ••The A. P. P. is a standing menace to the perpetuity of every party, being com[iosed, ss it is, of the members of every party. Wo long as It remains unmoved by threats, unyielding lo the pressure of [tarty machines, it will he hated hut respucted by every party whicn dares not incornorate the plat form of the order In its own. "The great majority of our order have waited patiently during the past year for some sign from one or other of the political parties that It has re ceived s change of heart and is hones! enough to publicly express It. There are a few Republican*, such asRInton, /■# M i/tli tint it • l.sur ft# InWIi' lirfl.fl Iff V. of Kentucky, who have been fearless t> their Indorsement of our prlnci frle», und while It may be fortunate hat they are Republicans, It Is more than fortunate that they are not either the Republican party or repre sentative* of that body, ami the ques tion should he asked and answered here and now that while the A. 1'. A. Isms of these men Is tolerated by the party for the A. F, A. votes which each of ibem carries behind him. what assurance have we that this tolera tion will not cease the moment the votes have been delivered.” The only reference* to church mat ters In the address ure the following: •‘A well meaning and by no means unimportant section of the order has arisen which advocates peace with the priest and hi* subject* and harmony bet ween them and the memhereof the order. Home would even go so far aa to negotiate with them politically, than which nothing could be more dangerous to the perpetuity of the as sociation. Others go to far a* to take the position that a member of the or dei possesses the right to determine for himself the question of loyalty or disloyalty of any papist postulant for k office, and reserve* to himself the * right to persuade others to vote for said papist. Siii'h a contention is not only absolutely untenable, but highly dangeroua. Thu candidate voluuta rll. renounce* the right of private judgment in this essential when he becomes a member of the order. It I* a solemn compact which he can y neither modify nor amend. The key stone of the A. P. A. is the fact that a papist, no mutter how liberal nomi nally, is not a consistent citizen of the United States. Entire renuncia tion of the papacy must precede hi* acceptance of our association as a candidate worthy of Its suffrages.” VICTORY FOR TELLER. lls lluil gull Control of the Colorado Convention gully Indorsed.

While the withdrawals of gold are not enough to he a positive menace, they are causing anxiety to the treasury of ficials.

Two guinea pigs were inoculated with a culture of diphthern. One of the pigs was ex posed to the Roentgen rays for four hour* After seventy-two hours this pig shown no signs of diphtheria, aud is ju»t as lively as before, whereas the pig which was not exposed to the rays died in twenty-eight hours after the injection and the post mortem showed that its deatli was due to the iujeetioii of diphtheria.

Nr.w York, May 13. —Ex-Senator Platt issued a formal statement yes terday in regard to the presidential •ituation, In which the nomination of Major McKinley ie vigorously op posed: “My opposition to Governor Mc Kinley,” Mr. Platt says, “proceeds almost entirely from my belief that be will get the Republican party into turmoil and troublei He is not a well-balanced man of affairs, as Gov ernor Morton Is. He fe not a great man, ae Mr. Reed is. He is not a trained and educated public man. aa Senator Allison Is. He is not an as tute political leader, as Senator Quay ia He is simply a clever gentleman, much too amiable and much too Im pressionable to be safely intrusted with great executive office, whose quest for honor happens to have the accidental advantage of the assocla toin of hie name with the last Repub lican protective teriff. “When the delegates at St. Louie come to consider these mattere their choice for President will not be Wil liam McKinley of Ohio. They are not going to determine the destiny of their party in any -hurrah, boys,’ spirit Mr. McKinley is still many votes short of a nomination,and when the delegates get together and com pare notes they will reali/.e that their candidate should be a wise, temper* ate, conservative, educated states man, with deHuile policies, fixed opin ions and a safe record."

It, is uMnm that a local improvement arouses so much feeling among Senators, manifesting itself in a debate of unusual anima tion and of considerable personal feeling. Mr llerry of Arkansas began the del,ate, declaring that this pro posed expenditure of IH.OOO.OOO waa against the put,lie interest and in the private Interest of I’. Huntington of the Southern Pacific. Senator* Vest ana CalTery took the ground that no appropriation should be made at present. Mr. Frye, chairman of the commerce committee, replied to the strictures on the proposition and vehemently characterize,I the criti cisms of Mr. Huntington as “savoring of the slogan of the sand lots.” Mr. Vest said he could not see the necessity for tills expenditure, either at Santa Monica or Han Pedro. He took no stock, lie aald, In the attack* on Mr. Huntington because lie was • railroad president and a rich man. Like other men lie looked after hi* own Interests. Mr. Vext believed Mr, Huntington was sincere in saying Santa Monica was the best point for a harbor. The senator said He dropped out of account all talk of monopollee and lobbies, Any United State* sen ator who would permit a lobby to con trol him w«* unworthy of a seat here, •aid Mr. Vest. He based hieobjeetlon on the fact that the country aid not have a full treasury, anil the river and harbor bill already reached an enor* mou* aggregate. Unfortunately, said Mr. Vest, Mr. Huntington is a political factor inf'ai Ifornia. Not, even a town meeting can be held there without asking if this mini Is a Huntington man and that man Is an anti-Huntington man. In view of tlin state of public feeling, Mr. Vest said, ha did not believe In settling this question and making the appropriation now. A. P A.S IN CONVENTION.
