YOUR UNCLE SAM.
He Looms Up in Urrat Shape in the Old
World.
Loxdox , Nov. 14. The Speaker pub
lishes an article by "A Leading Publi
cist , " in which the writer , after recall
ing Lord Salisbury's reply to Secretary
Olney in regard to Monroeism , says
' • An entirely new order of things hai
been established hy 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 the
sanction of Great Britain. Rut il
would be profitless , as well as some
what painful , to touch upon thii
delicate ground. What had to hi
done , had to be done , and that ii
the long and short of it. We may nol
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 oi
ten months ago. It Ls exactly a case
of our policy of staving off as long m
possible the domination of Russia , nov ?
so complete. To continue that policy
when the game is up would be merely
to cling to antiquated superstitions and
antiquated diplomacy. "
Paius , 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
fers 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
r > ill 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.
Thinks the Xortli role Can Be Kcached
by the Alaska Route.
Lawkexce , Kan. , Nov. 14. Professor
L. L. Dyche , who left Lawrence five
months ago for Alaska to secure nat
ural history specimens for the Kansas
universitj- museums , returned home
3-esterday afternoon.
Professor Dyche got seventeen whole
skins of the white Rock\ * Mountain
sheep , six 3-oung 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 2.10
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 S3 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
Ticht , of > o 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.

Sax Francisco. Nov. 14. Corinne ,
the actress , now playing at the Colum

yesterday. By 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 § 750,000 , 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 tlie home
should be open so that actresses can

HANNA ON THE CAMPAIGN.
The Republican Manager Makes a Xiittle
Speech to New Yorkers.
New York , Nov.ll. The committee
on organization of the McKinley
league , the state Republican organiza
tion , which opposes the faction led 03-
ex-Senator Piatt , 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. Powderry were among
those who took part in the proceedings.
The president of the league , George
Matthews of Buffalo , spoke of Mr.
nanna as one ' "under whose leader
ship the forces of honesty and Amer-
canism have won the greatest vietory
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. I
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 I
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 j"our 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.amosit Denounces
Various Rumors.
Washington , Nov. 11. "There has
been no change in the policy of the ad
ministration regarding Cuba. " ' said
Secretary Lament 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
mutter 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
simjlv indulsrinjr in rot.

ME. WATSON'S LETTEE
IT IS MADE PUBLIC IN HIS OWN
PAPER.
It Fills Seven Newspaper Columns and
Scores Fusion and Sewall in the Geor
gian's Rest Style He Rakes Chairman
Ilutler Over the Coal * in a Red llot
Way.
Watson's Letter of Acceptance.
Atlanta , Ga. , Nov. 13 The letter
of acceptance written by Thomas Wat
son accepting the Populist nomination
for Vice 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 McKin y's elec
tion. He goes into a long review of
Nthe circumstances leading to his nomi
nation and accepts the Vice Presi
dential nomination -because I said I
would. "
He declares 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 Germans where
they belong into the Republican
ranks and the Bryans and Elands
would have joined with the Populists.
He Cf 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. .1 reform has no right to exist if
it has no valid complaint to make. Populists'
cannot denounce the sin.s 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 cea > e 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.
"The Democratic managers seem to re
sent as a strange piece of impertinence the
fact that tne 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 si . v , with a perfect assurance of
telling the unqualified truth , that my ar
rival on the Held of battle was not welcomed
as heartily as Biucher 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 Biucher. That hardly
lair , either to Biucher or his troops , nor is
it the best way to defeat Napoleon.
'For this attitude upoa the part of the
Democratic managers. I believe yon. Sen
ator , are largely responsible. You made no
effort to have me recognized. You publicly
stated that I would not be notiried of ag
nomination. You went into the fusion pol
icy over m- written protest , with all the
zeal of a man who wanted to elect the Demo
cratic ticketIn this I think you were
wrong. As chairman of the Populist
committee , the party certainly expected
you to do all you 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 3-ou 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 McKinlej.-ism to anything which
might seem to be partly a Popahst triumph.
Their subtle purpose ito couple the Brj-an
election with the complete destruction of
the Populist party.
"Tne position taken in this letter will be
bitterly assailed. "Would that the pathway
of duty were always carpeted with flower- .
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.
"Xo 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 Eastern 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
are getting loaves and iishe- * . They have lost
sight of the great army of privates. who-
honest hearts and sincere soul- , form the
strength of the re-enforrement Mr. Bryan
needs. Those Populi- > of the rank and tile
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 Sewall electors , if Senators
Jones and Gorman really wish to defeat Mc-
Kinle- . let them lose no time m realizing
this truth. "

for this act.but the case was continued

Senator Teller Declines to Talk.
Denver. 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 I have
not as yet made up my mind regarding
the comparative strength of the par
ties ia. the Senate. " '

THE FARMERS' CONGRESS ;
A Now Coinage Schenio DMcu sod Aj *
International 31 Int.
Indianaroi.is , Ind. , Nov. 13. At
yesterday's session of the Fanners * na
tional congress , in session here , Gen
eral Roy Stone , of the department ot
agriculture , Washington , read n paper
entitled "The Battle Ls Over ; Shall
the War Go On ? ' ' He said in part :
"Though the presidential election of
1S90 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 displuco
the main question in this case tha
question that will have to be met anil
met wich deliberation when the strife
has ended in ruin or exhaustion. "

OFFENSIVE PARTISANSHIP.
An Explanation of the Policy of the Ad- •
ministration.
Washington , Nov. 13. The 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 lie 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 the ; - 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. "
Expenses of the Indian Service.
Washington , Nov. 13. The esti
mates for the entire Indian service for
the fiscal year ending June 30 , 1S95 , to
be submitted to Congress at the open
ing of the session call for an appropri
ation of ST.290,000 3100,000 more than
for the current fiscal yesr. The in
crease is due to the policy of the gov
ernment adopted at the last session of
Congress to abolish gradually contract
Indian schools and place all Indian
schools absolutely under government
control.
