SPECULATION IN SILVER (Copyright, 1898, by Charles M. From a Staff Correspondent. HAVANA, November 9, 1598. Cuba is hanging between nothingness and ararchy while awaiting American contcol. As I understand th= difference in the term: anarchy implies movement, though it may be the movement of discrderly elements. Nothingness is a blank.

The speculation in silver is another mat- ter, but it is something which the United States cannot so readily correct. Last night, while dining with a friend at one of the cafcs, I was surprised to find that dur- dinner its cost had “appreciated” The dinner was not a very elab- erate one, either. When silver is going down, the restaurant prices are in gold. When the white dollars are going up, the arges are made in silver. Somebody may get ahead of the Spanish restaurant owner, but I have never had the pleasure of meet- ing him. Less than a month ago, on arriving in Havana, an American five-dollar bill was changed into eight dollars, Spanish silvar, for me. Yesterday noon it brought $7.50. Last night it was worth $7.30. The drop occurred during the dinner hour. Whether silver is up or down today is of no conse- quence to me personally, because I am go- ing to pay in gold hereafter. The explana- tion given of this rise in silver is that it is a “natural’’ movement which has come about because the Spanish officials and the army officers are taking so much silver back to Spain that Cuba will be depleted. Now, no one doubts that the Spaniards will Ds Unit a everything they can lay their hands on back to Spain, but that is not the cause of the rise in silver. I don’t know whether heir j the headquarters of the speculation are in Lordon, Betlin, Paris or New York, but the Movement is an artificial one. CHARLES M. PEPPER. ~ SS FAIR AND COOLER.

The residuary legatees of the estate of the late Anthony Pollok, for many years a resident of this city, and who with his wife was lost oh the La Burgogne last summer, have tendered to the District Commissioners, through the American Se- curity and Trust Company, Mr. Pollok's general library for the use of the Public Library of the District. It consists of about 1,500 volumes, and is presented on the fol- lowing conditions: “First. The collection shall be known as the ‘Anthony Pollok Collection.’ Second. Each book shall be supplied with a suitable plate, which shall bear the inscription ‘An- thony Pollok Collection.’ ” The residuary legatees of Mr. Pollok’s estate are Mesdames Blanche Ostheimer, Eugenie Paraf, and Alice Richelot, and to- day the Commissioners accapted their very generous offer, on behalf of the trustees of the Free Public Library, and have so noti- fied Mr. Theodore W. Noyes, president of the board of trustees, and the American Security and Trust Company, the local ex- ecutors of the estate. The Commissioners have given Mr. Noyes an order on the executors for the books. Librarian Flint has completed the trans- fer of the old free library books to the new quarters, No. 1326 New York avenue. He stated today that the library is fast approaching the 20,000 mark and will be open for public use in about two weeks. “APENTA,"” THE BEST NATURAL APERIENT Water. “‘Mnst be regarded as one of the Sinest amongst natufal aperient waters known."—The Hospital, a WANTS PARTY UNITY Governor-Elect RooseVvelt in Harmony With All Factions THE PASSING OF RICHARD CROKER Probability That the Tammany Boss Will Be Deposed. ELECTION AFTERMATH -_——— Spectal Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, November 13, 1898. Several things are agitating the New York public mind as a part of the election aftermath. The most important is, of course, Governor-elect Roosevelt's policy toward the “machine” and Senator Platt; another {is the election of a senator to suc- ceed Senator Edward Murphy, and still an- other is the possible passing of Richard Croker. In regard to the first proposition, it may be said emphatically that, while Colonel Roosevelt will.be in fact as well as in name governor of New York, he will do nothing to antagonize Senator Platt or the organization, if in his opinion he may maintain this position and have in mind the best interests of his party and the peo- ple of the state as a whole. In short, the governor-elect will bend all his energies to make permanent the temporary alliance be- tween the factions in the republican party which resulted in his election. That his intention is to bring about party harmony so far as he is able is indicated in the important conferences already held. The first took place in Seth Low's home in Madison avenue. Besides Mr. Low and Colonel Roosevelt, Elihu Root and Joseph H. Choate were present. The second con- ference was in the 5th Avenue Hotel, where Colonel Roosevelt talked with Senator Platt and Benjamin B. Odell, jr., chairman of the republican state committee. These two conferences, which were arranged at the request of Colonel Roosevelt, had practi- cally the same purpose and ‘covered sub- stantially the same ground. Appointments were not discussed, and legislation received a small share of attention. Broad ques- tlons of party policy were considered. Col- onel Roosevelt will continue to consult both the independent republican leaders and the “machine” men. Independents who object to his conferring with Senator Platt will have their labor for their pains, and “ma- chine” men who complain at his seeing Mr. Choate and Mr. Low are likely to realiza that their complaints will have no influence. Colonel Roosevelt has made no promises or pledges to either faction. Two Careers to End. It may be announced with what appears to be sufficient authority that as soon as possible Col. Roosevelt will end the political careers of two of Senator Platt’s friends who have furnished material for consider- able campaign literature. It is sald that he will not reappoint George W. Aldridge of Rochester to be superintendent of public works at Albany, and neither will he, at the expiration of the term of the office, re- appoint Louis F. Payn té be stiperintendent of insurance at Albany. The'senate at Al- bany is rather a tight fit, twenty-seven re- publicans and twenty-three democrats, but for all that Governor-clect’ Roosevelt’ and his friends believe that when the time comes they will be powerful enough to name a new superintendent: of Insurance. It appears to be the present purpose to make Assemblyman Samuel Frederick Nixon of Westfield, Chautauqua county, speaker of the assembly, and Jotham P. Allds of Norwich, Chenango county, leader of the republican majority in the assembly. It will be two months before the sena- torial question is decid@eda, and there may be many changes during that time. At pres- ent the names most frequently heard are those of Chauncey M. Depew, Elihu Root and Sereno E. Payne. The-boom of Joseph H. Choate seems to have burst in the mak- ing. At present Dr. Depew is by all odds the favorite. His friends believe that his election would gratify not only their pride, but the pride of his opponents. It is argued that never in the history of the nation has it been more important than now that the country should have in the upper house of Congress statesmen of the breadth and depth of Dr. Depew. Dr. Depew was in- clined at first, when his friends spoke of the senatorial chances, to treat the matter hightly. Within the past few days. how- ever, Dr. Depew has been assured that is a growing sentiment in his favor in ny parts of the state, a sentiment which his friends assure him has sprung up quite spontaneously and without any political stimulus. Dr. Depew said recently, regard- img the senatorshi 1 have recelved such cordial and earnest assurances of support trom so many diverse quarters that 1 can- not bi give the matter the most serious consideration. And I can only say that if urances should continue I could but yield to them and become a Odell Said to Be Platt's Choice. In regard to Chairman Odell, it is be- leved that he ts Senator Platt’s choice, and, further, that he should have the senator- ship because he refused a renomination for Congress, and gave all his time as chair- man of the state committee to the work of the state campaign. It is also said that Chairman Cdell would not make the run if the opportunity were afforded him. He is said to have stated to friends that he would ecept no office as Jong as he is chairman [ the republican state committee. As to Congressman Payne and Mr. Root, it is too early to arrive at their actual strength. ‘The efforts of Richard Croker to clear himself from the charge of being mainly responsible for the recent democratic de- feat are giving rise to much outspoken talk concerning a proposed democratic organiza- tion that will probably be started in opposi- tion to Tammany Hall. Incidentally, con- siderable light has been let in on the con- duct of the campaign and the particular effect which Mr. Croker’s peculiar activity is supposed to have had. Smith M. Weed, the banker and Cleveland democrat of Plattsburg and this city, is now the man looked upon to head the anti-Croker organ- ization movement in this city. Former Mayor Grace is also counted upon for sup- pert, if not active co-operation. The up- state leaders are, it is said, ready almost to a man to league themselves with any movement that means the withdrawal of Croker. In that connection David B. Hill is expected to come to the front. He is not likely, it is said, to let such opportunities as have been furnished by Mr. Croker’s recent discomfiture go by unimproved. The logical result of the present revolt against the leader of Tammany Hall and his at- tcmpt to make himself the dominant figure in state politics, the disaffected are now saying, is a rival organization with Hil) at its head throughout the state’at large. Here in New York, as has been said, Smith M. Weed is now counted upon to head the op- position. Demoerat’s Plans Frustrated. The democratic bank presidents, the Man- hattan Club democrats und, irf fact, nearly all the members of the ‘party who opposed Bryanism and free silver in) 1896, believe that Croker is responsiple for the defeat of the democratic state ticket, It has tran- spired that the defeat of Vah Wyck upset @ carefully laid plan of*'the’sound money democrats of this city t6 eliminate the free silver issue from the hext hational plat- form of the party. Shortly after the Syra- cuse convention a coriference of sound money democrats is said to have been held at the Manhattan Club. These democrats, it is said, discussed the situation at length and decided to support Croker’s state tick- et. They decided that as the democratic state convention had ignored the Chicago platform, the state ticket must be elected, and these sound money democrats of the Manhattan Club, the Metropolitan Club and the clearing house resolved to do all in their power to bring about the election of Van Wyck. They are reported to have argued among themselves that the election of the democratic state ticket on a platform that dodged the silver question would be a strong argument against a silver plank in the next national platform. Van Wyek’s defeat at the polls left him without immediate employment, ut the eciection brought victory to two other rep- resentatives of the Kings county demo: racy. One of these is District Attorney Ma- rean, who wili go upon the supreme court bench in January next. His place will be filled by some one to be named by Gov. Roosevelt. But the other democrat who was electe] to the bench is Almet F. Jenks, the present cerporaticn counsel, and his place will »e filled by some one who will be named by Richard Croker and announced by John Whalen. Unless men who are not given to idle gossiping are wrong, Augustus Van Wyck will be the cne who wiil be named. The salary of the position will not be insigaificent. Mr. Whalen himself re- ceives $15,000 a year, and, in the language of the charier: “Shall fix and reguiate the salaries nnd compensation of all his ap- pointees, * etc. Ordinarily the place would pay probably $7,500, but ccnsidering who Augustus Van Wyck fs, and the extraordinary ability hich, according to every democratic au- ae a perp eu is wholly improb- able that he will be asked to work fo! than $10,000. = epecaecs "Brother Robert,” the present mayor of New York, ts also said to have judicial espirations. Unless the result of the elec- tion has upset all of Tammany Hall's plans, Mayor Van Wyck will take a nomination for supreme court justice next fall, and re- tire in favor of Randclph Guggenheimer, president of the municipal council. —_—-__ INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.

Perr rer WITH MURDEROUS INTENT The Oharge Preferred in Police Court Against Louis Kressin, Had Been Arrested for Disorderly Conduct and Later Threatened to Kill Max Wade. Detective Hartigan and Policeman Madi- gan prevented a possible tragedy in the Police Court Saturday when they di: armed Louis Kressin, who was a prisoner on a charge of disorderly conduct. Al- though he had been locked up over night in the South Washington poli¢e station and Was supposed to have been searched, a blackjack was found on him. Kressin told Detective Hartigan that he had the blackjack for the purpose of kill- ing Max Wade when he met him in court. Wade and Kressin were charged with di orderly conduct, and Kressin had an idea that his wife's affections had been alienat- ed during his absence from the city. Kre: sin, it was stated, deserted his family about eighteen months ago and returned only a few days since. Because of the trouble they had the police charged them with dis- orderly conduct, and Kressin was locked up in the absence of collateral. When the case was tried Kressin admit- ted that he left his family, as stated, and id he had sent his wife $1,000 during his absence. Judge Kimball fined him $10 in the disorderly conduct case, and he elected to be tried by a jury in the case of con- cealed weapons. The charge of disorderly conduct against Wade was dismissed. Investigation Made. When the session of the court closed for the day Judge Kimball called at police headquarters and made complaint to Capt. Austin about the developments in the case. It was the judge’s idea that the police of the fourth precinct had failed to search Kressin when he was locked up. Such al- leged negligence, the judge thought, should be investigated, for the court an@ its offi- cers might sometimes be in danger shou'd prisoners be permitted to appear armed. Capt. Austin started out to make an in- vestigation. He learned that Aciing Ser- nt Schneider, who made the arrest, gave the prisoner's pocke a thorough searching and found money in almost every pocket. Besides about $20 in cash Kre n had a bottle of whisky on him. After he was locked up his wife called upon h and Kressin now dec sin an affida that she gave him the eckjack. He ays she gave it to him to offer in court as evi- @ence in the case. A Mere Accident. The finding of the weapon on him was a mere accident. When he was called from the cell room to be taken into the court room for trial something in his pocket struck against the officer as he passed him. Believing he had a weapon Officer Madigan had Detective Hartigan overhaul him, with the result stated. Later in the afternoon Bailiff Johnson reported to the clerk that Kressin’s counsel had shown him a revolver, which he said had been given in court by his client. Attorney Ricks made no effort to conceal the fact that he had been given the pistol by his client, and that it was given to him while the latter was a prisoner in court. He made a written statement of the affair for Judge Kimball. Kressin told his counsel he had the pistol on him when he was arrested. He said he was searched in the station twice, but the officer who szarched him did not find the pistol. He was in court today, having been brought up from jail. There was a charge of threats preferred against him by his wife. The latter was not in court and the case had to be postponed. His attorney stated that his cliont’s wife had changed ‘her mind in the threats case [ and did not want to prosecute him. ——__— TOTTENS KUNERAL, coL. List of Pallbearers Selected for the Occasion.

TWO YEARS HENCE What Political Prophets Think Will Be the Situation. BOTH PARTIES COMING TOGETHER The Silver Question and Bryan Fading From Sight. TERRITORIAL EXPANSION re The silver west repudiating its idol and going back to the republican party. The gold standard east dangerously near the fateful embrace of the silver democrats. The longer these two startling facts are analyzed the greater grows the interest in the recent elections and the broader the speculation as to what another two years will bring forth in a country where the political kaleidoscope changes almost hour- ly. Around the White House and depart- ments, where statesmen of both parties visit, the prophets hold forth in great num- bers, and find intense interest in exchang- ing views of the future. One and all agree that the elections iast week mean a great change in politics in another two yeacs, but few agree as to what the changes will be. The majority however, and among the number are republicans and democrats of national prominence, think that the situation two years from now will be something like this: The death of free coinage as an issue. The passing of W. J. Bryan with the de- mise of 16 to 1. A reunion of discordant democratic ele- ments. A similar roun‘on of republicans. Disappearance of the populist party The two old parties fighting cach other as of old. Territorial Expansion. If the new ¢ n of territorial expan- sion could be eliminated the prophets could almost agree upon the issues of the next campaign, but that question is expanding so fast that no nan attempts to fore- shadow what prominence ft may or may not cut in the future. the Senate had already passed upon a tr y of pea there would be something more subst it upon which to base conjectur The pre- @ctions that the old parties will unite their scattered fragments is bas d largely Upon the belief that the whole will aces whatever is done Philippines, and that those who pesed to their annexation will not be fiuential enough to bring about an oppo sition plank in either of the great parth It is recognized that should the Philippine avestion become formidable enough to be the foremost issue two years from now the old parties would be torn asunder again, and there would be another align- ment on a basis obscured by the veil of the future. The democratic party is di- vided on that question now and many re- publicans are not with thelr party. Sena- tor Hanna and Mator Dick, his ab'est lien- tenant, are both quoted as putting :he Philippine question forward as the issue two years from now I aside t new and puzzling question, the politicians, with the exception of extremists, agree that the two old par- ties will fight each other on past and pros- pective domestic and national first lining up will be seen elections next year. in the Between now then the elements now attempting to knit and together will have opportunity whether they can harmcnize. Death of Free Coinage. It is pointed out that the upheaval in the west in favor of the republicans showed that the former republicans have abandon- ed silver and have returned to their old party. Rabid silver democrats see thi give way sullenly to what the “ze believe was temporary. Without the w they know that there fs no hope for silver. To stick to silver is their certain doom T then, look at the results in the east nd find a strong hove for their party the warring elements again getting togeth- er. Many of them admit that not only is the desertion of the west a fatal blow, but that the job has been finished by the cer- tainty that the United States Senate will be heavily republican for at least six years, and probably for eight or ten. A democrat- ic President on a. sily ue could not hope to accomplish anything during his term. Therefore the moderate silver men already evince a desire to unite with the gold democrais to put up a man on a plat- form which will stand a chance of winning. With glad hearts at the return of the west and the consequent election of a re- publican House the republicans see the tactics of the gold democrats at least. With the west with them again the republicans could afford, they say, to shift the fighting ground back to the east. All their efforts could be concentrated in the batt'e ground of former years, with chances in their favor of success. They do not believe that the democrats would defeat them in the old Pivotal states with a man so popular as Presilent M>Kinley at the head of their ticket. Too many indenendents have con- fidence in the man to take chances on an untried pers 1. The Passing of fryan. Gen:ra’ G nor and a half 4)zei p-om_ inent republicans openly assert that W. J. Bryan will pass inio the past. This pre- dicticn is mace on the belief that silver Will never again be the issue. They know that if silver should again be the - mount issue ihe ieader would be the Ne- braskan. He embod.ment of free coinage and the logical candidate for an- other campaign. ‘heir very prediction as to the disappearance of the silver | implics their beiicf that silver cannot aj be the issue, aud that the dem select some cthcr man on some other plat- form. Mr. Bryan, it is averred by men of both parties, is too far committed to silver to ever become a nominee on any other platform. lie cou:d not, it is deciared, re- ceive solid democratic support. Sometimes the name of Senator Gorman is put forward as the man now sianding closer to middle ground. Sometimes Van Wyck is spoken of as clean and conservative enough to be available. Many democrats do not look upon his defeat as doing away with his political future. Policy of Gold Democrats. Some of the prophets say that during the next two years the moderate silver men and the gold democrats will gradually rele- gate silver to the rear, and will put forth other issues to test public sentiment. The Jeaders in this program will be the gold democrats. They will work quietly and under cover. Their work will largely ap- pear through the mouths of siiver leaders. A too sudden grasping of the reins by the gold democrats would spoil all. Rabid sil- ver men would become suspicious and break away. Maryland, Ne Jersey and New York are instances, it is pointed out, of the easy manner in which the silver men were led up to the polls by the schemes of the gold democrats. That program is ex- pected to mature in a way to be surprising. The republicans will not be compelled to resort to these tricks to heal their sores. The former silver men of the west will be invited back into the fold without conces- sions being made to them except in the way of offices. General Grosvenor and other republican leaders in Congress will probably have a barrel of fun prodding at the reviving democratic corpse. For political reasons the republicans may not at first try to have too much fun with the gold democrats, but their sarcasms will be directed to the silver men. ‘The silver heresies will be kept to the front by the republicans as still per- meating the democrats, no matter what schedule of another kind they may attempt, The National Banks. It is said that many of the silver demo- crats will try to make the national banks an issue, believing that they could carry the bulk of the gold democratic vote with them on that question, but it is admitted that this would leave a wide open door for a return of free silver theories. $ FINANCIAL.
