OPENING OF T1LDEN CLUB
(Continued from First Fage.)
Ing Impression upon tbe heart and con
science of the country.
Upon tbe subject of "democratic unity"
lie said:
There Is substantial accord among the
democrats of the country upon all the
timely Issues which are now engrossing
public attention.
We are all united In favor of the preser
vation of constitutional liberty wherever
our flag floats. We Hre opposed, as the
permanent policy of this government, to
the maintenance of dependent colonies to
be governed outside the pale of the consti
tution. We are all agreed that the civil should
always be superior to the military power.
We all concir In the principle that public
taxation should be Imposed for public pur
poses only.
We all favor freedom of commerce and
therefore favor genuine reclprnclty with
foreign nations, but are all opposed to
sham republican reciprocity, which Is only
another name for republican hypocrisy.
There Is no dlvlHlon In sentiment In our
opposition to corporate combinations of
capital which create monopolies, stifle
competition and unreasonably enhance
prices for the necessaries of life.
We all stand for free trade In all articles
controlled by the trusts.
We all desire Justice for Cuba and Justice
to the consumers of the United States,
also.
Stand Where Jackson Stood,
W' all stand where Jackson, Benton and
Tllden etood for hard money, as opposed
to an Irredeemable paper currency.
We all recognise the dignity of labor and
Ita right to demand Just and adequate
compensation.
We are all opposed to an Immense stand
ing army In times of peace.
we are all In favor of the constitutional
reform Involved In the election of fritted
States senators by the people of the several
states, ramer man ty state legislatures.
We all adhere to that doctrine declared
by Jefferson as follows:
"Peace, commerce and honest friendship
with all nations; entangling alliances with
none.
With this substantial, unity which exists
xipon these and other fundamental princi
ples of demoeratlo fatth, to which i need
not refer, we may safely appeal to the
people and In view of that . satisfactory
situation It would be folly to longer divide
upon abstract or unreasonable questions.
Let us not seek to cross any uncertain
bridges until we reach them.
The democracy of this state welcomes
the distlngulshod' citizen of New Jersey,
the only living former president of the
United States, who testifies by his pres
ence here tonight and by his remarks, to
which we have so Intently listened, his In
terest In the success of democratic prin
ciples. Would Welcome Bryan.
We should have been glad to welcome
that other distinguished democrat who
halls from the great west, our honored
standard bearer In the lact two presidential
flections that able and eloquent demo
cratic orator, Mr. Bryan of Nebraska had
he been able to be present on this occasion.
We appreciate the compliment to the
Tllden club and to the democracy of this
state Implied in the presence here of those
other democrats of renown from other
states who have lourneved hither to Join
with us In the dedication of thin structure
Id the cause of democracy.
The Interests of the democracy of New
York are those of the democracy of every
other section of the country.
Wo have no criticisms to make of any
democrat In the land. We are neither as
suming to make or to unmake national
platforms at this time. We are excluding
iiu mnii ur i ui men irom me party

minister to those who wish to Join us. We
need recruits for our cause and our demo-
crniic a our are tnrown wide open.

PASS SPOONER AMENDMENT
Panama Canal Proposition it Now Paiiad
Up to President BoomtsIu
MORGAN MAKES A VERY STRONG TALK
Senator ara that lie lias Devoted
Best Portion of HI Life to See
the Great Projeet a.
Snores.
WASHINGTON, June 19. An Isthmian
canal, while not assured. Is nearer to con
struction than it has ever been. The senate
today by a majority of eight votes adopted
the Spooner substitute tor the Hepburn
Nicaragua canal bill, the vote on the sub
stitute being 42 to 34. After two amend
ments to tbe measure had been adopted,
one providing for a commission to super
vise tbe construction of the canal and the
other providing for the issuance of $130,
000.000 of 2 per cent gold bonds to raise
money with which to construct tbe water
way. It was passed by a vote of 67 to 6.
It has been evident for several days that
the Spooner substitute, which in brief pro
vides that tbe president shall select the
Panama route if he can obtain a clear title
to the Panama Canal company's property,
but otherwise he shall adopt the) Nicaragua
route, would command the votes of a ma
jority of the senate.
Tbe Panama route was considered more
desirable by the senate than the Nicaragua
route. The only question left open is rthe
title to the property, and that the presi
dent will determine it the house should
adopt the senate's amendment to its bill.
Mr. Morgan of Alabama presented the
following letter he had received from Sec
retary of State Hay, concerning tho point
raised In the isthmian canal debate by Mr.
Klttrldge of South Dakota:
I am requested by the minister of Costa
Rica to Inform the committee on Inter
oceanlc canals that he has been Instructed
bv hla aovernment to make known to that
of the Vnlted States that the government
of Costa Rica Is prepared to take all
necessary steps to negotiate with the gov
ernment of the I'nlted Stales a treaty for
appropriate concessions for an ' isthmian
canal on terms substantially as proposed
by the government of the United etates.
The communication was laid on the
table.
The conference report on the bill to pre
vent the false branding or labeling of food
or dairy producta was agreed to.
Consideration of the Isthmian canal ques
tion was resumed and Mr. Spooner offered
formally his amendment as a substitute
for the pending so-called Hepburn Nica
ragua canai bill.
Mr. Clark of Montana then addressed
the senate in support of the Nicaragua
canal route. He thought that if one-half
the objections to both the Nicaragua and
the Panama routes were valid neither
route would be adopted. However, he was
satisfied the consensus of conservative
opinion in this country was that a gTeat
Isthmian waterway should be constructed.
The American people, be said, were not to
be deterred.
"You may delay the project," said he,
"but you cannot defeat it."
Difficulties of Construction.
The difficulties, of constructing the canal.
he believed, were exaggerated. He thought
that the Nicaragua, route was more to be
Drrferred. ai it was, In his opinion, more
feasible and practicable than tbe Panama
route.
Mr. Clark declared that the Panama canal
scheme was a hoodoo which ought to be
shunned and avoided. He said the Panama
anal plan bad left a heritage of ruin, dis
aster and desolation. '. . - v
Mr. AUUon explained why he should vote
tor the Spooner substitute,
He believed there was s general desire
mong the American people for an Isthmian
canal, and tbe people desired, too, that the
United States government should construct
and control the canal.
He pointed out that the eyes of the
American people bad been directed partlcu
larly toward the Nicaragua route, because it
was supposed a French company had tha
concessions for the Panama route and the
United States was barred from that route
Mr. Allison said It was now proposed to
build a canal thirty-five feet deep and wide
enough with a volume of water sufficient to
float the largest ship afloat. The minimum
expenditure for tbe construction . of the
canal, he believed, would be more than
$200,060,000. To meet this enormous expen
diture he favored the borrowing of the
money, making proper provision for liqui
dating the principal and interest of the
bonds.
Morgan Closes tha Debate.
Mr. Morgan, chairman of the Interoceanlc
ranal committee, at the conclusion of Mr.
Allisons remarks began his speech closing
the debste. He said the canal Issue seemed
to have come down to a single point that
of finance. On that point he deferred to
Mr. Allison, but he did not believe with
him, that It would be necessary to Issue
bonds to pay for the construction of
canal.
Mr. Morgan particularly denounced the
Panama canal route as a "place where
labor and death join hands." He said be
had been trying to protect the United
States trom the shame ot Intercourse with
It. Those who wanted to "touch that
thing" might do so. "I would not do It,"
he declared, "for bptn canals." '
Mr. Morgan urged congress to determine
the question of route and not cowardly re
fer the matter to tbe president.
In conclusion, he said: "Just one word
In parting with this qutstion. This duty
was assigned to me by the senate and was
not sought by me.
"If we are to be beaten down here to
day. and America la to be disgraced, I
shall, have had the honor, and the Amer
lean people will give It to me, after I am
dead, of having devoted honestly and sin
cerely tbe best labors of my life to the
success of our project."
Final Vote Is Taken.
At 1 p. m. debate upon the canal ques
tlon was concluded by previous agree
ment. The Spooner amendment, as per
fected, was read.
The first actual test on the Isthmian canal
proposition was on an amendment offered
by Mr. Mitchell of Oregon, giving tbe
president the choice of routes, even if he
could aecure title for the Panama route.

tonight gave a dinner to about a dozen
leading republican senators favorable to
Cuban reciprocity and discussed with them
the ways and means of securing a reduc

order that the pledges made to Oubs may

NO PLACE FOR DARK HORSES
(Continued from First Page.)
Omaha members were so thoroughly antag
onistic to him because of some decision he
is said to have rendered In the nature of a
trlke Injunction that it was thought best
to hold the vote solid until It could be made
decisive. Dinsmore was the favorite candi
date for several reasons, chief among them
that he had many personal acquaintances
nd friends among the delegation and
promised, It was thought, to run strongest
Douglas county. Then, too, the van
Dusen element of the delegation were In
clined to Dinsmore and were willing to Join
In making It a solid vote for him. There
were a number of Mickey admirers among
the Douglas delegates, but rather than di
vide the delegation they acquiesced In the
unit rule Idea, knowing that if it came to
the point where they could make Mickey
they could then carry the entire delegation
long with them. This, in fact. Is what
happened.
Another point that called forth comment
was the seating of the delegates in the
udltorlum hall. To quote the words of a
well known leader, "We came down here
as guests of the' city of Lincoln, only to
And that the best part of the hall and most
of the front seats are occupied by them.
Lancaster county men are always directly
In front of the chairman; they catch his
eye for recognition on every occasion; they
make nearly all the motions and act as If
it was a Lancaster county convention so far
as they are concerned. I should think It
would be the part of the host to take a back
seat once in a while, and let their visitors
enjoy a few of the privileges."
SHORT SKETCH OF MICKEY
Serves In the Army Before He Is of
Age and Later Engages
In Business.
LINCOLN. June 19. (Special Telegram.)
John H. Mickey, who heads the republican
stats ticket as candidate for governor, la a
man slightly below medium height, of
rugged build end kindly expression. He Is
an Iowan by birth and 67 years of age.
Asked -to tell something about himself he
modestly replied in response to pertinent
questions:
'I was born in 1845, near Burlington, la.
My father was a farmer and I was raised on
a farm. My education was obtained in
the common sehdols of the place, but was
finished off after I returned from the war
by two years' attendance at Weileyen col
lege at Mount Pleasant. Although not yet
of age I Bad enlisted In August, 1863, In
Company D ot tbe Eighth Iowa cavalry. In
which I served until muatered out under a
general order In August, 1865. My career
in the army was fairly active. Our first aa
slgnment was for scouting In central Ten
nessee. In the spring of 1864 we went
through with the Sherman campaign from
Chattanooga to Atlanta, laying the founda
tions for Sherman's famous march to the
sea. In tbe fall of that year we were with
Thomas and Hood's expedition to Nashville,
engaging the enemy at Prankvllle and at
Nashville.
"After the war I went back to Iowa, and
tben in 1868 came to Nebraska, taking a
homestead In Polk county. Before leaving
Iowa I had married In September of 1867,
My wife was Miss Marlnda McCray of Des
Moines county, Iowa. Of my domestic life
all I need to say Is that I have nine chil
dren, five boys and four girls, all alive.
three of them married. I lived on my Polk
county homestead until 1872, when I moved
my residence to Osceola, having been
chosen county treasurer. They kept me In
the office of county treasurer for ten years,
trom 1879 to 1890. I served In the leglsla
ture of 1881, but I never occupied any other
public position. I am now president of
the Osceola bank. I am farming a tract of
240 acres and am engaged in stock raising
making a specialty of fins 8horthorn breeds.
'I waa born and raised a Methodist
and have been constantly Identified with
that church, active more especially In
promoting Its educational work.
am president f the Board of
Truestees of the Wesleysn university at
University Place. I believe In broad and
liberal education for all tbe people. I would
have no sectarianism In any publlo insti
tution, although I believe that there Is
work for the sectarian colleges outside of

WILKKSBARRE. Ta., June 19. Now that
the call for a special national convention
has been made fjr July 17, it is unt ex
pected there will be any very Important
developments in the coal strike situation
until that time.
It Is not unlikely, however, that some
ot the bituminous districts will tak't action

to reduce the output. They are handi
capped In this effort t lime e.vtent by
tbe fact that not more than two-thirds of
the 42,000 workers In the district are or
ganized. A little dissatisfaction was expressed l.y
some of the strikers that the dnte of tne
convention was set a month hence. They
feel thst something ought to be Cone with
out waiting thirty dav. While the lead
ers around strike headquarters will not
talk, it is belieed the Axing of the dnte
for July 17 was a wae move A folal sus
pension, or even a partial curtailment of
production, would have a serious e.fcct on
the business interants of tho country, and
It Is hoped that during 'he next month
some plan may be devised by whkh such a
state of affairs can be ncided. A total
suspension of :oal mining Is pfactlcclly Im
possible, because ihe lnltcd Mine Workers'
organltation could uoi cotilnl all the min

Rffect tn Western District,
SAGINAW, Mich., June 19. The call for
a national miners' convention has had the
effect to stop negotiations for a settlement
of the strike of the 2,500 bituminous work
ers in Michigan which has been tn progress
nearly two months. As President M. F.
Williams signed the call for the convention,
with the approval of the executive board,
there is little doubt that Michigan will
vote in the national gathering for a general
strike. Industries in this region already
are feeling the effect of coal shortage.
DES MOINES. June 19. President J. P
Reese of the Iowa district of United Mine
Workers Is opposed to a strike In this
state and predicts that none will take
place. Other union officers are also said to
hold similar views. The miners, who num
ber 15,000, are under contract with the
operators st an agreed scale for one year
from April 1 last. The field Is thoroughly
orgsnlzed.
HAZLETON, Pa., June 19. The regular

ing that tt - Is to continue, Indefinitely, if
other companies accede to the demand at
the close ot the strike.
More Trouble In Tawtncket.
PAWTUCKET, R. I., June 19. Dis
turbances in the street csr strike were re
sumed here this forenoon, after two days
ot quiet. The first cars on the Weeden and
Prospect street lines were attacked with
stones. Two employes were hurt by being
struck with missiles. Tho arrival cf a
detachment of Infantry quickly put an end
to the trouble.
ROANOKE, Vn'., June 19. Norfolk &
Western railway officials assert that the
situation In the Pocahontas coal fields
shows some Improvement. A number of the
mines are working more men than on any
other day since tbe strike was aeciarea.
The Tug river field is still practically closed
tight. Although there has been no violence
from the band of marchers or armed
miners, tbe military companies of Roanoke
are being held subject to call.

PEACE COMPLETELY RESTORED
Don Felipe Buencamluo "aya There Is

CHICAGO, June 19. IVn Felipe Buenca
mlno, who waa secretary of state In
Agulnaldo's cabinet, will make Chicago the
principal stopping place In his tour of com
mercial Investigation In the United States.
Ho arrived from St. Louis last night and
will remain here until he hoars from Canton,
where he hopes to call on Mrs. McKlnley,
If her health will permit the visit.
Don Felipe has come to learn about the
political and commercial prospects of tho
Philippines snd has already visited Wash
ington, Atlanta and St. Louis. He is
strongly in favor of the continuance of
American rule in the archipelago.
"My objects in coming to this country
are many," said he. "1 want to explain to
tbe people of the I'nlted States the situa
tion in the Phlllrpinea at the present time;
to ask for amnesty for former rebels; for
further educational facilities for the people.
such as an appropriation permitting the
education of young Filipinos In this coun
try; to secure 6,000 more American teachers
In the islands at higher salaries than tbey
are at present receiving, and to collect data
to bold au exposition in Manila In honor of
the Philippine hero, Dr. Rlzal.
"Another purpose of my visit Is to further
the development of commercial relations
between the archipelago and the t'nlted
States.
"The American people should understand
clearly that peace is completely restored,
All that remains are a few robber bands
which easily can be disposed of by the na
tive constabulary, and they probably will
be dispersed or exterminated within six
months.
'In regard to the reports of atrocities
committed by American soldiers in the
islands, there have been some abuses, but
the authorities have aeen that the perpe
trators have received the punishment they
deserved. It is not fair to condemn the
whole army for the abuses of a few sol
diers." WEAK TRESTLE CAUSES DEATH
