He Also Declares That Unless the Democrats Win Next Election Their Cause is Lost. WATERLOO, Iowa, June 28.—“For one, I do not believe it possible to succeed upon a platform that demands the unqualified free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 with sold. We have fought that battle and it is lost. We can never fight it over under circumstances more favorable to ourselve: If we hope to succeed we must abandon this extreme demand.” In these words Horace Boies, former governor of Iowa, and erstwhile democratic presidential aspirant, addresses the voters of the United States who demand the free coinage of silver. He does it through the medium of his letter to Col. D. M. Fox of Des Moines, which the latter will print in his forthcoming book. Must Win Next Time. “The friends of silver, although once ée- feated, are not yet demoralized. This will not be true after a second defeat.” He warningly says: “In our next great battle we must win or our cause is lost.”” Although Mr. Boies has in private fre- quently expressed hostility to the 16 to 1 plank of the Chicago platform, this is the first authoritative declaration from him to that effect. In publicly declaring silver to be a dead issue, he gives at length his rea- sons for asserting ft to be such. He says the voters buried it under the bellef that it meant silver monometallism pure and sim- ple, which would increase instead of dimin- ish the fortunes attributed to the single sold standard. Must Have Something Netter. “It matters not,” he says, “how we con- vince the people the gold standard is wrong nless we convince them that what we in its place is better than worse.” the adoption of the 16 to 1 plank, he lares the delegates to the Chicago con- ention forced the silver forces to assime » defensive for their new creed. ‘The re- he asserts, was the weakening instead trengthening of their ranks, as their tform was battered by the arguments of their opponents. a PHILADELF ALA DELEGATION STAT Pennsylvania WII Send S00 Delegates to Christinn Endeaver Convention.

NEWS BY WIRE|£0!ES AGAINST SILVER|CHANG ES IN DUTIES Decisions Readhed by the Senate Senate Finance Gommittoe »—j-»—_—__—_ QUESTION §F RECIPROCITY to Be Considered at Tonight’s Meeting. Matter TWO PLANS PROPOSED The Senate committee on finance tcday Settled several vexed questions in connec- tion with the tariff, including lead ore and iron ore. The decision is to leave the rate of 1% cents on lead ore as fixed by the finance committee, and also to leave iron ore as originally determined by the committee end passed by the House. The tea paragraph was again passed ever for future consideration, and the de- cision on coal was reserved until after a hearing to be given to the conflicting in- terests tonight. The ccmmittee decided to advance the rate cn pig lead to 24 cenis per pound. This fs an increase of 4% of a cent over the House rate, which the committee did not origizally disturb, and was made as com- pensation for the increase on iead ore. he mica paragraph (182) was rewritten entirely, and as it will be presented fixes a rate of 4 cents per pound and 20 per cent ad valorem on the unmanufactured article and of § cents per pound and 20 per cent ad valorem on manufactured mica. Thorite was added to the dutiable list (paragraph 181) per cent ad valorem. The rates on pineapples were increase: in packages, from 6 to 7 cents per cubic foot; in bulk, from $6 to per 1,000, The rate on plain basic photographic papers for albuminizing (paragraph 3394) was increased from 2 to 3 cents per pound and from 10 to 20 per cent ad valorem. The committee ended a long dispute by deciding to take rapthazarin black and all fast black coal tar dyes from the free lst, yh 14, which im- ng them to prrag Sa duty of 25 per cent, and it Is esti- ed that this ehange will add al dred thousand dollars of revenue. A similar gain is expected to be derived from striking coal tar from the free lst and making it dutiable at 10 per cent. Fashion plates wi also stricken from the free list, as was manganese ore. A substitute was written for the leather agraph G27) making many chan, The wording~of the new paragraph is a follow nd or belting leather, sole leather, calf skins, tanned and dressed, kangaroo, sheep and goat skins (including E id skins), dressed and finished skins and bookbinders’ s, all the foregoing not specially provided for in this act, 20 per cent ad lorem; skins for morocco, tanned, but un- finished, 10 per cent ad valorem; skins of dressed with the grain on, per dozen siins; skins of goat orisin, crain on, $2 per dozen; -de or with the exterior c hether known as mocha or otherwise, $2.24) per'dozen skins; patent, japanned, varnished or enameled leather, weighing not over ten pounds per dozen skins, 30 cents per pound and 20 per cent ad valoremy if weighing over ten pounds and not qver twenty-five pounds per dozen, 30'centS per pound, and 10 per cent ad valorem; #f weighing over twenty- five pounds (per) dozen, 3) cents per pound and 10 per cent ad valorem. pianoforte leather and pianoforte act leather, 35 pet cent ad valorem shoe laces, 1iftshet or unfiri 50 cents per gross and 20 per cent ad valorem: boots and shoes, made of leather, 25 per cent ad valorem; provided that leather cut into shoe uppers or vamps or other forms suit- able for conversion into manufactured ar- ticles shall be classified as manufactures of leathers amd pay duty accordingly.” A substitute was also written for para- graph 434 (gloves):aS follows: “In addition to the foregoing rates there shail be paid on leather gloves, when Tined, $1 per dozen pairs; on ail pique or prix seam gloves, 23. cents per dozen patrs; on ali gloves stitched or embroidered with more than three single strands or cores, 25 cents per dozen pairs. On all leather gloves with wrist opening: imported without fasteners or parts there- of of any kind, there shall be a reduction of 25 cents per dozen pairs from the rates in the preceding pa:agraph.” Question of Reciprocity. It is not thought that the Senate finance committe> will consider the question of a general reciprocity clause to the taritt bill at its meeting tonight, but it will do so at as e 2S po: ble. It is unéerstood that two propositions will be submitted to the finance committee for consideration. One of these is a pian very r to that of the Blaine clause in the McKinley law. It limits the impositions of retaliatory or remission of compensatory duties on goods coming from only sucn countries as export to the United States sugar, molasses, tobacco, coffee, tea and hide The second sheep origi s proposition is broader than this, and is also said to be the proposition of Senater Burrows. Its phraseology is similar to the first, but the power of retal- jation and compensation, which is placed in the hands of the President, is made to ap- ply to any country which imposes cither discriminating or prefereatial duties on geods imported from the United States, whether they export any of the six artich of the regular reciprocity list or not. This latter clause is said to be receiving very favorable consideration. It has been framed with the pur of nullifying the effect of the numerous threats of retall- atory tariff legislation which have come to the State Department from several for- n countrie It authorizes the Presi- dent if any country discrimina’ inst this country on any article of merchandise to make proclamation of the fact and name such articles of import from that country hither for additional imposition of duty as will compensate the United States for the loss sustained. A similar authority empowers the Presi- dent to extend remission of duties on such articles as he’ may deem proper as com- pevsation to the country which imposes preferential duties on any article of im- pert from this country. is This last proposition fixes a 25 per cent remission of duties for countries entering into reciprocal relations with this country and imposes a surcharge of 25 per cent on these which fix exactions on the goods of @\s country. - TO ENTERTAIN ENDEAVORERS, Kansas City Union Makes Arrange- ments to Show Them Around.

The first meet of The Evening Star Bicy- cle Club was held Saturday afternoon at the International Athletic Park, and prov- ed to be quite interesting to the number of friends of the contestants that assembled to witness the sport. The meet was a closed one, and came off immediately after the regular race meet held at the park. There were four events, and Forrest Rior- dan succeeded in carrying off the honors of the day. Guy V. Collins was also in evidence, and secured a place in all of the races, The officials of the meet were Mr. E. E. Simpson, referee; Messrs. J. Hart Brittain, Charles T. Cabrera and Harry Stiles, Judges: Dr. W. W. Hodges, Al. C. Gensler and J.C. Wilson, timers; Mr. J. H. Brittain, starter, and W. H. Henshaw, announcer. The International Park was kindly placed at the disposal of the racers by the man- agement. The first race, the one-third-mile open, was marked by an accident, which disabled several ride} Roy Herron, Dodd and Rogers went down just after making the first turn, the former being braised ebout the face, while the latter injured his hand. Herron is a speedy rider and was a favor- ite in all the events, and maay regrets Were expressed at the accident, as he suffered a slight concussion of the brain, which rendered him unable to continue in the day's sport, which left an easy tield to the several other y ones. This was the only spiil of the mect. The two-thirds cf a mile handieap proved to be a pretty race, in which the limit men were @-rced to hustle. The race in which the most interest was centered was the one-m: vent for the championship of The Star office. There were a number of entries, but over the re- sult considerable culation arose. Clar- ence Ingling was looked upon as a win- ner, and ne undoubtedly would have se- cured first honor had he not followed a loafing pace for two of the three laps, an advantage which Riordan did not allow to pass. The prize in this event was a handsome silver trophy cup, donated by Mr. William Haydn Henshaw. Riordan won, with Ingling second and Collins third. ‘The time could have been improved upon considerably. The interest of all of the racers was cen- tered in the team race between an Even- ing Star team and a team from the Maur- ice Joyce Engraving Company. Ingling was captain of the first named team, while Joyce captained the other three. The Trace was quite pretty, and run in much better time than the championship event. The last lap extremely exciting and interesting, with the Joyce team in the lead, but they could not hold it, and Rior- dan won out by severai lengths, with Col- lins and Ingling fourth and fifth, respect- ively. The Evening Star employes won the race, the winner scoring six points, the second man five points and so on down the line. The score was ten to eleven. ‘Phe summary: One-third mile, open—For- rest Riordan won, Guy Collins ‘second and Howard Fisk third. Time, 0:50 4-5. Two-thirds mile, handicap—Riordan (10 yards) won; Rogers (40 yards) second, and Collins (30 yards) third. Time, 1.40.
