New York, July 18. —W. G Whitney
ha* sent the following dispatch to tha
press: “Will yon be kind enough to
correct the statement that I desire
the indorsement by the state organiz
ation of the Chicago ticket. There
are no possible conditions or circum
stances that would Induce me to vote
for it or assist it."
This leaves no doubt as to Mr Whlt
nev's position with respect to the
Chicago ticket fie delayed his state
ment until last night in the hope. It is
said, that Senator FI ill might relent
and cast in his lot with the sound
money men, but as the Senator showed
no disposition to accept the Whitney
view, Mr. Whitney took advantage of
an irresponsible publication to make
known his position without further
delay.
In private conversation Mr. Whit
ney lias explained his reasons for bolt
ing the ticket. He said that the plat
form adopted at Chicago means
oestructlon; that if carried out to Its
leglcal conclusion it would result in a
disastrous panic and unsettle business

he resented the treatment accorded
the sound money men at Chicago,

WttiniiD'i View*.
Geneva, July 18.—Henry Watter
kion of Kentucky, who is sojourning
^wlth his family here, said yesterday
In regard to the Chicago convention:
"The platform Is monstrous It not
only means national repudiation and
•pollution, hut Is an open door to rev
olution If tiie leaders of this move
ment could come into power those of
them who have any sense of account
ability and conception of orderly gov
ernment would be quickly set unide by
the wild elements behind. In this
way civil war, as foreshadowed by the
Chicago out breaks last year, would be
precipitated upon the country. Then
the strong hand of the federal power
was interposed, but if this were with
held the reign of the mob would be
easy enough.”
Mr, Watierson Is stronly in favor of
• sound money Democratic ticket.
President Cleveland’s Position.
Wabuinoton, July IS.—Next week
President Cleveland will write a letter
concerning the Chicago convention,
Its platform and nominees. It is ex
pected that letter will be published
Monday morning. It is believed that
he will advise anti-silver Democrats
to reject liryan and give their support
to the movement looking to the nom
ination of a "sound money" Demo
cratic ticket
The members of the Cabinet are
■till waiting for their cue from Mr.
Cleveland. Only one of them, the
y naval secretary, has, as yet, declared
open opposition to the Chicago
ticket Mr. Olnev. who was minted
by a friend as saying that he would
Dot under any circumstances sup
port Bryan, has taken occa
sion to say that the statement
was apocryphal. Mr. Carlisle, Mr.
Wilson, Mr. Lamont, Mr. Smith and
Mr. Harmon are as mum as oysters.
Privately, they all denounce the plat
form and privately, too, some of them
speak kindly of Mr. Bryan. It is evi
dent, however, that the cabinet will
follow the lead of Mr. Cleveland.
They will bolt if the president says so;
they will swallow the Chicago ticket
if the president intimates a desire tiiat
they should do so; they will support
McKinley if that is the president's de
sire; they will go in for a tnird ticket
If that is the president's wish.
There is a strong suspicion that Mr.
Cleveland will throw the responsibil
ity of action on the members of the
Cabinet individually. If the Pres
ident should conclude to do this,
It will only add to the embarass
tnent of the members of his official
family. Mr. Hannon wants to sup
port McKinley openly. He is opposed
to a third ticket. William L. Wilson
and Hoke Smith are readv to support
Bryan if the President will give them
freedom. It Is Impossible to ascertain
what Mr. Carlisle feels or thinks; ali
that is known is that he is a very
much worried man

MKINLEY TO VETERANS
The Republican Nominee Dwell* an the
Need of Protecting the Credit
Canton, Ohio, July 18.—Five hun
dred veterans called on Major McKin
ley yesterday afternoon. They came
from Cleveland on a special train.
Mr. McKinley in the course of his ad
dress said:
"We have reached a point in our
history where all men who love their
country must unite to defeat by their
ballots the forces which now assail
the country’s honor The struggle
which Is upon ns, Involving national
good faith and honor, will enlist their
united and earnevt services until
those who are arrayed against
the public faith shall be routed
and dispersed. The bitterness of the
war belongs to the past. Its glories
are the common heritage of us all.
What was won in that great confliot
belongs just as sacredly to those who
lost as to those who triumphed. You
meet to-day not as soldiers, but as cit
izens, in maintaining the credit of the
country you served so well and In
restorlng'prosperity and better times
to our heritage. The future la the
sacred trust of us all, South as well as
North. Honesty, like patriotism, can
neither be bounded by State nor sec
tional lines. Financial dishonor is the
threatened danger now and good men
will obliterate old lines of party in a
united effort to uphold American
honor. This you have always done
and you must strive to keep the Union
worthy of the brave men who sacri
ficed and died for it
KANSAS SILVER MEN.
Delegates to St. Louis Convention Elected
—Ed. C Little Chairman
Tofkka, Kan., July 18.—The non
partisan free silver State convention
yesterday elected sixty delegates to
the silver conference at St. Louis
July ?2 and instructed them to vota
for the indorsement of William Jen
nings lfryan for President
The majority of the delegates to St
Louis are Republicans. There were
about 300 delegates in the convention,
a n/l WdbVslt aa va Unit fmir.tift Ka
of them were Republicans. The Re

and did most of the talking. Ed C
Little, who was consul at Cairo,
Egypt, under Harrison, presided, and
R. tv. Turner, who was consul at
Cadiz, Spain, under Harrison, wrot«
the resolutions.
humors About Another Bond Issue.
New York, July 13.—There is to
day a revival of the rumors of an Im
pending new govern tent bond issue.
It Is alleged that representative finan
ciers had neen in conference with As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury Cur
tis on the subject. The appearance
of Mi. Curtis at the subtreasury yes
terday and to-day lent color to tne re
port, especially in view of s strong
and active market for government
bonds this morning. Hankers usually
identified with the financial measures
of the administration and members of
the old government bond syndicates
discredited the report.
Nebraska's Double Honor,
Lincoln, Neb., July 18.— The Bryan
enthusiasm has apparently obscured
the fact that another distinguished
citizen of Nebraska has been similarly
honored. Rev. Charles E' Hentley,
the presidential nominee of the new
National party, which first flung its
banner to the breeze at Pittsburg,
resides with his family at a modest
house at the northeast corner of
Twenty-eighth and M streets.
Waite Oo ly a Contestant.
Denver, Colo., July 18.—Ex-Gov

state convention here July 4hesought
admission to it as the head of a Den

selected at a mass convention. The
committee on credentials rejected his
claims by a vote of 39 to 9, and the
convention without a dissenting vote
sustained the credentials committee.

Death of Kg-Gov. Bussell.
Boston, Mass., July 17. — Ex-Gov
ernor W. E. Russell of Massachusetts
waa fonnd dead at the camp of B. V.
Dutton at St. Adelaide. Paboa, Que
bec, this morning. He waa aa well ax
aver when he retired last night, but
was found in bed dead this morniug.
The cause is thought to have been
heart disease
William Eustis Bussell was born in
Cambridge, Mass., September a, 1867.
He entered Harvard college in 1873.
After his graduation from Harvard
in 18TT. young Bussell took a three
years’ course at the Boston University
Law school. In 1881 he was elected u
member of the Cambridge council and
two years later to the upper house.
Meanwhile he waa practicing law,
both in conjunction with his father
and by himself, but politics came soon
to occupy most of his time. He was
re-elected an alderman iu 1884, and
the same year made president of the
Boston University I.aw School alumni.
The next year he wus elevated by tile
local Democracy to the mayoral.v of
his native town.
In 188.1 he wus the Democratic can
didate for governor. His advocacy of
tariff reform gained him national note
which compensated in a measure, for
bis defeat by Governor Ames De
spite his defeat, however, he hud
polled 1,000 more votes titan Mr.
Cleveland, who was running simulta
neously for the Presidency.
In 1889 Mr. Bussell ran against Gov
ernor Brackett and wus defeated
again, although his opponent’s plural
ity was reduced from .9,00') to 6,776.
Bussell’s hour of triumph came the
succeeding year, when be was elected
upou his third noiniuatlou, being the
thirty-third governor of the state, the
youngest man tnat ever sat iu me
governor's chair in Massachusetts,
and the third Democratic incumbent
since the war. In IHUl he was re
elected, although every other candi
date upon the ticket was beaten
During the last five years of his life
ex Governor Russell held no public
office, although lie was talked of for
Secretary Olney's place in President
Cleveland’s second cabinet, and prior
to the appointment was eonshlerad by
many persons to lead his opponent
for the place.
The ex-governor was long consid
ered a presidential possibility, and he
was indorsed for the nomination by
the M»ssacbusetts Democracy. If the
sound money wing of the Democracy
had controlled at the Chicago conven
tion last week his chances would
probably have been inferior to those
of no other aspirant.
The Saturday night preceding the
convention, in a meeting of the East
ern men, ex-Goveruor Russell made a
speech, setting forth the views of the
minority, which attracted more at
tention than any other utterance upon
that occasion._

Mr. ISryan IndUeretsly Denounces the
Order In HU Salem Speech.
Sai.f.m, 111., July 17.—In the course
of his speech yesterday Mr. Bryan
spoke as follows:
“This is the home of my birth, of
my boyhood and my early manhood.
Three blocks south I first saw the light
of day. A mile to the northwest I
lived until I was 23, and I shall never
cease to be grateful to the parents
who took me to the farm and there
allowed me to develop the physical
strength that is needed in the cam

It was in this court house that I first
gained the ambition to be a lawyer.
It was in this court house that 1 made
the first political speech I ever tried
to make. It was in the Fair grounds
near here that I spoke for the first
time on the Fourth of July. It was to
this city and to the parental roof that
I brought her who hail promised to
share life's joys and sorrows with me.
And all of these happy associations
arise to-day before me and leave me
no desire to think of other things.
“It was here 1 received my first in

SERIOUS DIFFERENCES \
nqr ir« Bara to Coma Fp to tha Pop
altat Convention.
8t. Louis, Mo., July IT.—It becomes
more end more evident each day, as
the time for the meeting of the Popu
list national convention draws near,
that the members of that party will
clash over the Indorsement of Bryan
for president. Letters from all parta
of the country are pouring Into the
national committee headquarters,
some demanding and some denounc
ing the indorsement of the Democratic
ticket, and everything indicates there \
is a decided difference of opinion as to
the best action to he taken at the
coming convention. It la the opinion
of some of the Populists here that the
party is near the danger line of a aplit
over the question. They express the
hope, however, that some definite
plan of action agreeuble to all can be
decided upon at the meeting of the
national executive committee here
next Saturday.
Many of the Populist leaders are
awaiting the coming of the free silver
senators who bolted the Republican
convention. Upon the course they
take will depend, in a measure, the
action of the unti-llrvan following.
If the Republicans come out openly
for Rryan and the Chicago platform,
the opposition may not make much of
a fight.
The biggest tight, next to the on*
Indorsing candidates, will be over the
platform. A very strong wing of the
party, headed by Chairman Taub
eneck, Sergeant-at-arms McDowell,
Chairman Rozelle, of Missouri state
committee, and many of the meinbera
of the national committee proposes to

CLEVELANDS VIEWS.
•eml-Offlclallf flat Forth by Assistant
Secretary Hamlin.
Washington, July 10. — Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Hamlin
gave out a statement yesterday In ex
planation of his views with regard to
the Democratic platform and nomina
tions. Inasmuch as Mr. Hamlin rep
resented the administration forces at
the Chicago convention, BDd as he has
been In frequent consultation with
Secretary Carlisle over the political
situation since the adjournment of
the convention, the statement made
by him will undoubtedly be ac
cepted by many us a semi
official declaration of the position of
the sound money men of the adminis
tration. This impression is further
strengthened by the belief that Mr.
Hamlin has seen President Cleveland
since the adjournment of the conven
tion. He spent several days at
Marlon, near Gray (Jables, on his way
back to Washington from Chicago.
The statement referred to is as fol
lows: “No political Issue is involved
in the coming election. The question
to be decided is far deeper and more
vital. The perpetuity of republican
institutions has been threatened.
Every loyal citizen should ally him
self against the forces which con
trolled the Chleago convention
forces of lawlessness which are incon
sistent with the maintenance of the
republic.
“Henceforth there should be no Re
publican, no Democrat, but a union
of loyal citizens— the combined forces
of Republicanism and Democracy.
When once this dangerous element
has been stamped out at the polls by
an indignant people, we can again
divide and discuss those political
questions which for generations have
kept alive the two great political
parties.” _

opinion upon the political situation in

ard said that while he had expressed
himself repeatedly In favor of a gold
standard and could see no practica
bility, relief or good in any other sys
tem of redemption, he would admit
that the present outcry was inspired
by distress.
Said he thought a sound money
Democrat could not do worse than
vote the Republican ticket on account
of 'he gold platform. What he called

Cantoh, Ohio, July IE — Despite a
severe rainstorm, 600 representative
women of Cleveland came here this
morning, beaded by a woman's
brass band. As the train reached
here the sun broke through
the clouds, and forming In
columna of two, they marched to the
McKinley homo. There tbousanda of
people blocked the streets and surged
through the grounds When quiet
was restored, Mra Klroy M Avery In
an address presented Major McKinley
to those present
Mr. McKinley as he mounted the
chair on his veranda after the cere
mony of waving handkerchiefs and
parasols and hand oluppiiig, said: “I
?'really appreciate this friendly call
rom the women of the eltv of Cleve
land and assure you that 1 do not un
dervalue their gracious message of
congratulation and confidence which
you have so eloquently delivered. It
Is an assurance of the deep interest
which you feel and which should be
felt by every family in the land on the
public questions of the day and their
rightful settlement at the polla There
Is no limitation to the Influence that
may be exerted by the women of the
United State* and no adequate tribute
can be spoken of her services to man
kind throughout this eventful history.
In the distant period of its settlement,
in the days of the revolution, In the
trials of Western pioneer life, during
the more recent, but dread days of
our civil war, and, Indeed, every step
of our progress as a nation, the devo
tion and sacrifice of women were con
stantly apparent and often conaplcu
ous. (Applause.) Hhe was everywhere
appreciated and recognized, though
Dod alone could place her service at
its true value.
“The work of women has been a
power In every emergency and always
for good, lit calamity and distress
she has ever been helpful and heroic.
Not only have some of the brightest
pages of our national history been
illuminated by her splendid example
and noble efforts for the public good,
but her Influence In the home, the
church, the school and the community
In molding character for every pro
fession and duty to which our race la
called, haa been potential and sub
lime. It is in the quiet and
peaceful walks of life where her
power is greatest and most ben
eficial. One of the tenderest pas
sages to me in the works of John
tstuart Mill beautifully expresses thie
thought. It is recorded in hla auto
biography when he paused to p*y
high tribute to his wife, of whom he
could not speak too much. He saya:
'She was not only the author of many
of the best things I did. but she in
spired every good thing I did.' Many
men there are from whom frankness
would not withhold but command like
expression of obligation to woman,
wife, mother, slater, friend. (Orest
applause).
'•One -ji the beat things of our civil
ization in America is the constant ad
vancement of women to a higher
plane of labor and responsibility.
The opportunities for her are greater
than ever before. This la singularly
true here, where practically every
avenue of human endeavor is open to
her. Her impress la felt In art,
science, literature, song and in gov
ernment. Our churches, our schools,
our charities, our professions and
our general business interests
are more than ever each year directed
by her. Respect for womankind has
become with ns a national character
istic; and what a high and manly trait
it is; none nobler or holier. It stamps
the true gentleman. The man who
loves wife and mother and home will
respect and reverence all womankind.
He is alwavs the better citizen for
such gentle breeding.
"The home over which the trusted
wife presides Is the eltadel of our
strength—the best guard of good cit
izenship and sound morals in govern
ment. It is at the foundation; upon
italicise is constructed. From the
plain American home where virtue
dwells and truth abides go forth the
men who make the best statesmen,
who adorn our republic, who main
tain law aqd citizenship, which aims at
public welfare.tne common good of all.

HINTS FOR AMERICANS.
Adel** to English Manufacturers The*
ts Worth Hsedlng Here.
In an elaborate report on Japanese
railways Mr. Lowther of the British
legation In Toklo says that on March
1, 1895. the total mileage of railways
open to the public was 2,118, of which
government lines amounted to 580 and
private lines to 1,538 miles, says tho
London Times. In addition there were
1,072 miles uncompleted, while appar
ently about 1,000 miles of line are con
templated, excluding Formosa. Mr.
Lowther specially calls attention to the
vital necessity for British manufac
turers of railway material to take every
possible measure to advance their In
terests In Japan. Hitherto Great Brit
ain has practically had a monopoly lit
furnishing rails, engines, rolling stock,
etc.; whether her manufacturers aro
still to enjoy this privilege must de
pend on themselves and on the exer
tions they make. The railways of
Japan have been built under foreign,
It might also be said British, advisers.
Hence It was convenient that the ma
terials required for carrying out de
signs made by English engineers
should bo obtained In England. The
Influence of English engineers could
not fall to make Itself felt In that di
rection; but the tendency of the Japa
nese government Is to dispense with all
foreign advice, and the time may not
be remote when all Japanese lines,
whether government or private, will be
built and managed without any assist
ance from the foreigner In Japan and
the material alone will be purchased
abroad. In Great Britain the leading
firms order from designs made by their
own engineers and manufacturers have
nothing to do with the preparation of
the designs. In America, on the other
hand, there exists a system under
which the railway companies state
their requirements and the manufac
turers send In competitive projects
based on their own designs. The Eng
lish engineer who has been the de
signer of railway bridges In Japan
since 1882 Is leaving the country. On
his departure, If the Japanese engineers
have structures with which they are
unable to deal, It will be most easv for
them to adopt the American system
and get both design and bridge from
the manufacturers, thus transferring
the business to America. American
firms are careful to be represented In
Japan, while only some of the most Im
portant British firms have agents there.
Hence Mr. Lowther thinks that British
manufacturers of railway material
would find it advantageous to be prop- *
erly represented In Japan, as large
shipbuilding firms have been with suc
cess and, as there are evident signs of
a "boom” In railway enterprise In
Japan, It Is Important that the matter
should be attended to without delay.
It Is easier to keep the Japanese as
customers In the British market, where
they have always obtained a satisfac
tory return for their outlay, than to
bring them back to the market when
they have gone to another. It is esti
mated that a third of the total expen
diture of Japanese railways goes
abroad for the purchase of materials
and hence the matter Is one well worth
looking after.

The Gate City, which arrived hers
on Monday from Savannah, is the first
steamer going out of this port to be
equipped with an aurophone, the new
device for enabling the lookout to de
termine the direction of sounds at
sea. The aurophone was tried on the
way up, but little could be told about
Its utility owing to its being placed In
a poor position. It consists of a brass
box. which fits over the mast and
which has projecting from each end a
broad-mouthed funnel. From this box,
close to the funnels, two tubes like or
dinary speaking tubes lead down the
mast and through the main deck to
the deck below. Inside of the box
there is a complex arrangement of dia
phragms and sounding boards so
placed that a sound will enter only one
of the tubes when It 13 passing through
the funnel on the opposite side of the
box. On the lower deck Is an arrange
ment like an engine-room indicator, by
which the box above may be turned
around the mast, and directly under
the Indicator is a tell-tale compass.
The man below places the tubes to his
ears, where they are held in place
by a cap. Unless the funnels (jbove are
pointing djrectly toward the sound
which he wishes to locate he will hear
it only faintly and in one ear, because
one of the funnels being turned from
the sound the tube opposite does not
operate. He then turns tho Indicator
in the direction from which the sound
appears to com*, and when the funnel
is pointing directly at the sound It
passes through the funnel and out ot
the other, putting both tubes In opera
tion. and the operator heara the sound
distinctly and In both ears at oiu-e.
He then glances nt the Indicator and
the point on the tell-tale at which it
rests give* the exact bearing of the
sound. — Boston Transcript,
