2 ! THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 14, 1896. Evaus, R. E. Spdngler, executive committee of the honest monjey Démocracy of Iilinois. This pronunciemento sets the pace for ihe East, but in the niinds of the leaders. there is not an abundance of faith with the party organizations which sent gola delegations to the Chicago convention will declare for another convention. The most that Illinois expects is that enmough gold Democrats outside the regular organ- izations will send delegations to the new convention proposed as to make it suc- cessful, and the Middle and Soutbern States are relied on to give the new move- ment much support. It is in those States that the gold men expect to win. Names of standard-bearers have been freely men- tioned. Chief among them is Secretary Carlisle. He is regarded as the ideal can- didate if he would accepi, but no assur- ance has been received from him. Henry Watterson is looked upon with almost equal favor, coming from the same State, but he is out of the country and it is not known when he will return. The other statesmen mentioned are Senator John M. Paimer of Illinois and Secretary J. Ster- ling Morton, who is from Bryau’s State. Senator Hill is regarded as the great ob- stacie to the co-operation of Eastern party organizations in the call for a new ticket. From private telegrams received to-day from the New York Senator and other party leaders in the Empire State it is as good as settled that New York’s Demo- cratic machine will not favor another con- vention. Senator Hill’s plan is under- stood to be to fight for the election of gold Congressmen and for throwing the Presi- dential election into the House of Repre- sentives, where a more successful contest for a gold President would be more prob- able than with a third ticket. The fllinois gold Democrats received a setback to-day in the announcement of Postmaster Washington Hesing, a leader of that facticn from the start, that he was ovposed to a third ticket. He denounced the proposition on the grourd that a third ticket would mean the election of the sil- ver Democratic ticket. The revolt of the Illinois delegation against Governor Altgeld, which broke out first in the convention hall when the State swung to Bryan, was accentuated to-day by the resignation of Colonel Henry ¥ Donovan of Chicazo of his position of in- spector-general of the Illineis National Guard, to which he was appointed by the Governor. Colonel Donovan was an orig- inal Boies man and led the anti-Bland forces in the convention against the Gov- ernor: Bty S ok MORE CHEERS FUR SEWALL. Great Demonstration Over the Tail- End- er's Departure. CHICAGO, Irr., July 13.—W. J. Bryan, accompanied by Mrs. Bryan, left the scene of his triumphant nomination this after- noon at 2:20 o'clock over the Illinois Cen- tral Railrcad for his boyhood home in Salem, Ill. The time and place of his de- parture were not sufficiently known to draw a crowd to the depot, and his de- parture was accordingly unattended by any demonstration. A few dozen friends bade him good-by. Salem is in Marion County, which was the only county in Ilii- nois to pass a resolution favoring the nom- ination of the Nebraskan at its convention on May 25 to select delegates to the State convention held at Peoria. The departure of Arthur Sewall for his bome in Bath, Maine, was more demon- strative. Mr. Sewall bas been the guest of Erskine M. Phelps, ex-National Commit- teeman for Illinois, during his stay in the convention city, at Mr. Phelps’ home, 1793 Indiana avenue, and after Mr. Se- wall's meeting with Mr. Bryan and the sub-committee of the notification commit- tee in the Clifton House the man from Maine was entertained at the Chicago Club by Mr. Phelps. The rest of the after- noon until train time was spent quietly with friends, and at 5:30 o’clock Mr. Se- wall was driven to the Van Buren-street depot of the Lake Shore road, where he took the regular train on that road for Boston en route to his home. A crowd of 1500 people had gathered at the station to see him off and lustily cheered bim when he appeared on the platform. He held a hand-shaking reception, but made no speech. Charles A. Walsh of Ottumwa, Iowa, secretary of the State Central Committee of Iowa and the manager of the Boies convention campaign, will be the perma- nent secretary of the Democratic National Committee if his probationary term as temporary secretary proves satisfactory to the committee. By authority given to him in a resolution adopted Saturday night by the full National Committee, Chairman Jones this afternoon appointed Mr. Walsh temporary secretary of the committee, and the general understanding to-day is that he will be retained in that position. Mr. Walsh had a conference this morning with Senator Jones with reference to his appointment, and atter- ward the Jowan called on ex-Secretary Sheerin of the National Committee at the Palmer House headquarters to get infor- mation as to the details of his new posi- ‘tion, which Mr. Sheerin gladly afforded his young successor. The committeemen remaining in town are delighted over the selection of their colleague. Captain S. B. Evens, chairman of the Boies campaign committee, who is associated with Mr. Walsh in the publica- tion fof the Ottumwa Sun, and who was chairman of the Iowa League of the National Democratic Bimetallic Com- mittee, said to-night to a reporter for the TUnited Press just prior to his departure for home: ‘“We are mighty giad of Mr. Walsh’s appointment. We deserve it as a Btate and he deserves it as a man. He was born in Van Buren County, Iowa, thirty years ago, and is a lawyer in Ottumwa, besides being part owner of the Sun with me. Mr. Walsh is . sometimes cailed ‘The Bishop’ because of his clerical appearance. He is very dis- creet, 2 man of system and detail and will faithfully carry out the plans of the com- mittee in all its details. In my capacity as chairman of the Iowa bimetailic com- mittee, Mr. Walsh rendered great as- sistance in organizing tin leagne and the Democratic party outside the lines of the Democratic committee. His wife is with him here and they expezt to return home to-night.” g s BRYAN'S BIG HEAD. Jt Continues to Swell During a Western Journey. CHAMPAIGN, Irv., July 13,—William . J. Bryan arrived here on the Illinois Cen- . tral road at 5:55 this evening after a pleas- ant ride of three hours and a half from Chicago. At several places along the * route Mr. Bryan was givun hearty recep- tions. His first experience was at Karka- kee, where about a thousand men, women and children were gathered. A cheer went up from the crowd as Mr. Bryan appeared on the platiorm of the Pullman sleeper in - which be made ‘the journey and he was . obliged to get down into tne crowd and p the many hands extended. Kanka- i:"wu reached at 4:02, and although the train remained there for three minutes only Mr. Bryan made a good record asa bandshaker. = At Kankakee Mr. Bryan - was handed this telegram: FRANKLIN, Pa.—Accept congratulations, field. TOK: Apes wars on 8 he Qa1 < e . -At Gilman a stop of a couple of minutes was made to enable the hundred or more of sturdy farmers gathered at that station to give & cheer for the candidate and .shake .his hand. The crowd was very good natured and indulged in many jok- ing remarks, which Mr. Bryan seemed to appreciate. The train on which Mr. Bryan made the journey to Ody, the nearest point on the Illinois Centrai to Salem,is the regular train which left Chicago at 2:20. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan and a party of newspaper men occupied the attached Pullman sleeper. Scott Ja ckson and wife, old friends of the Br yans, were also in the car and the only other occupant was F. U. Adams, who was secretary of the Democratic literary bureau. On the journey down to Cham- paign Mr. Bryan told a United Press rep- resentative something about his plans. “] will remain in Salem until Thursday morning,” he said, **and will then leave for Kaness City. I expect to stay over night in Kansas City, leaving for Lincoln Friday morning and reaching there that night.” “There is the man with the white hat,” was the cry at Paxton, a small station which was reached at 5:15, and a stopofa minute made. Bryan's white hat is likely to be a conspicuous object in the campaign. It is one of those soft felt af- fairs, creamy in color, adorned by a band of lighter hue than its texture. It could be readily seen by the 200 people gathered on the Paxton station platform. They made a rush toward it as Bryan stepped from the train. A hearty shout went up, and then the crowd laughed uproariousiy at Bryan's remark that “If you just vote as well as you shout, we'll get along atl nght.” Rantout, another small station, turned out a hundred or more people and a big flag, and they, too, had the opportunity of congratulating Bryan. CHAMPAIGN, IrL,, July 13.—Mr. Bryan made his first campaign speech at Cham- paign, where the train stopped twenty minutes. A flatcar had been improvised into a speaker’s stand and from this Mr. Bryan addressed his aundience, consisting of 1500 people. He was escorted from the train by Colonel J. R. Wolfe, Colonel S. T. Buzy, Colonel W. H. Purcell, J. R. Scott and J. W. Orr, the reception com- mittee. Asthe crowd here was larger than that at any other point so was its potency as a noisemaker greater. Colonel Wolfe introduced Mr. Bryan in a short speech and Mrs. Brysn, who had accompanied her bhusband to the stand, was led forward with old-time gallantry and introduced as Mr. Bryan’s “most excellent wife.” This caused a great cheer. “Ihave not been in your city since 1879,” said Mr. Bryan. “That year I was a student at the Illinois College and I at- tended an intercollegiate contest at this place. 1am not going to make a political speech this evening—" Here a small boy who had suddenly become aware that a big man was in town let out a vigorous hooray. This produced a roar of laugh- ter, in which Mr. Bryan joined, and it was a minute or two before he was able to re- sume. “I bave just been talking some in Chicago and am sort of between speeches. This 1s an important campaign. In my judgment it is the most important cam- paign this country has passed through in a time of peace. The issues are those which affect every man, woman and child in the Nation, and I beg of you that yon shall appreciate the important part yon bear in this campaign. Thisis the greatest Nation on earth. It is in advance of all other nations. Its advancement is be- cause our form of government is the best on earth; because, being in the hands of the people, it can be made as good as the people desire. If our laws are good, if onr laws are just, it is because our people have force to make them just. I believe there is more -justice in the people than isex- pressed through their representatives. If laws are bad, it is the fault of the repre- sentatives of the people and so must be remedied by the people. There are those who have the idea that patriotism can only be manifested in time of war. I was too young to go to the war, but in every campaign such as this you and I havea chance to show our patriotism. “Our Government is the most perfert form of government because it is the best that the people can offer for a display of patriotism. Every real economic question is a great moral question. When you come to the settlement of a question like that of the present campaign morality is invited. The financial question is the most important issue in this campaign, and I wish that you would study it so that you may understand the way it affects you and your interests. There is no class to which the question can be committed because no one class can be trusted to take care of it. Before the campaign is over the discussion will turn on one question, ‘Is this Nation great enough to legislate for itself” We believe we are strong enough to determine our own financial policy without waiting for any other nation on earth. [Cheers.] It is not a complicated question. Every great eco- nomic question is at least a great moral question, and when it comes to be settled it can only be done by the great common people of the Nation. The politicians, too, have tried to settle the money ques- tion; the people have triéd to settle the money question, but it will not be settled until the people have a chance to express their opinions, and it will not be settled until then, and from that there is no appeal,”’ #The people cheered Mr. Bryan as the train pulled out. At Tolono Mr. Bryan shook hands with an enthusiastic crowd, and at Tuscola, the county seat of Douglas County, he did his best to let the thousand or more gathered there have a chance to do the same thing. Mr. Bryan usually stepped from the car to the station platform, and was immediately surrounded by men, women and children. The women were out in large numbers at nearly every station, and many of them had with them their children, whom they were anxious to show to the Democratic candidate. MATTOON, Iin, July 13.— Mattoon, with its 10,000 inhabitants, turned outa large proportion of its people and a brass ’| band to greet the young candidate. Fully a thousand people pressed sbout the rear platform of Mr. Bryan’s car, and when he appeared the cheer that went up was given with a vim. Mr. Bryan was introduced by Hon. Frank Spitler, and yielding at last to the importunities for & speech, he made these remarks: “I have been taught to believe thata public servant was but a public man chosen for a certain term and to do certain public work. You can’talways tell whether a man will make a good hired man or not. Bometimes he" makes a good nired man and sometimes he does not. We have a splendid platform adopted at Chicago, and 1 believe any man who will earry out that platform will a good hired man for the people of the United States. [Cheers.] This will be a campaign in which there will be a great deal of feeling, more feeling than at any time since the war in a cam- ;llgn in which you or I have indulged. 'here will be certain féelings on both sides. You will find there are those who will say that the platform adopted at Chicago will be ruinous to the countay. On our side you will find those who claim that.the restoration of the free and unlimited coin- age of silver at the present ratio of 16 to 1 can be accomplishea without awaiting for any other nation on earth. [Cheers.] *‘Those who will be principally benefited by therise of the dollar are in favor of raising the value of the dollar. But those others,who are the people, do not want the value of the dgllar to rise when it de- presses the value of human toil. When those who are benefited by the rise of the dollar ask you what kind of money you want tell them you want good money. You want a doilar that will be just, not one that will take from the labor-preduc- ing classes of the world. [Cheers.] EFFINGHAM, Iin, July 13. — The crowd to greet Mr. Bryan here was small but it was enthusiastic, so much so that Mr. Bryan consented to make a speech. Standing on the rear platform, he said: *“Fellow-citizens—I remember that less than a year ago I stopped off here for a few hours and spoke at the Courthouse. At that time we were anxious that the Democratic party should adopt a platform which was Democratic. 8ince then & great struggle has been going on, and last week it ended in the Nationa! Convention, and that convention adopted a platform that was Democratic in every line and every word, and they go before the coun- try appealing to the people on that plat- form.” Here the train moved out and the end of the speech was lost in cueers for Mr. and Mrs. Bryan. EDGEWOOD, Irx., July 18.—Night had fallen by the time the train bearing Mr. Bryan to Salem reached this place, and the fireworks threw into relief the little knot of people gathered at that station. Mr. Bryan shook hands with a large num- ber of them. Mre. Bryan was presented by Scott Matthews as “the better part of the family,” and the cheers which followed the announcement were of the heartiest. The train drew out from Edgewood at 8:30. ODIN, Irx., July 13.—The train bring- ing William J. Bryan and party to South- ern Illinois drew into the depot here at 9:30 to-night. A cannon and brass band augmented the enthusiasm of the people | wher the Democratic candidate siepped from the car. Odin is the junction of the Illinois Central and Baltimore and Obio Southwestern, and it was necessary for the Bryan party to change cars for Salem. | While the cannon saluted, Mr. Bryan, | led by the hand and escorted by many | hundreds of his old friends, walked to the New Virginia Hotel, where he held a short reception to many personal friends. He was “Will” and “Billy” to & number of those who pressed forward to greet him and called by familiar names by many of | the residents. Although Mr. Bryan had decided not to talk at Odin he was forced | to break the resolution and consented to | make a few remarks. Colonel N. B. Mor- | rison, chairman of the reception com- mittee, introduced Mr. Bryan as the next President, and when the enthusiasm had quieted down, Mr. Bryan made a pleasant little address without any politics in it, He did not want them to expect a speech, he said, because he had not yet been noti- fied of his nomination. He had had an inkling of it through the press, but he thought it better to wait until the formal notification came. Mr. Bryan expressed | his happiness at being once more among gis friends at Odin, in the county where e had spent his boyhood days. He did not know when he left there thirteen years ago that he would come back as the representative of a principle in which all bis auaitors were interested. He was deeply touched at the manifesta- tions of good will. He had no enemies here, he felt sure, and one of the pleasant- est things to him was that in Marion County he bad not an enemy and never bad. Mr. Bryan then- delivered some re- marks on the power of circumstances. It was curious, he said, how they marked out cne's career. He had been placed by circamstances as the standard- bearer of the Democratic party. The party wanted some one to carry out the platform and circumstances pointed to him. If elected he was but to hold the office of President for a little time and then he would step down and out and give all deference to the man who would succeed him. He never thougnt of our office-holding system, he said, without thinking of our simplicity of Government. Every office-holder was merely the creature of the people’s will, and when- ever a change in the political situation oc- curred he would leave his sitnation and another would take his place. The Amer- ican people, said Mr. Bryan, knew no divine right of kings. They were the ones who directed the affairs of state, and the safety of the Nation was in the cormmon people of America, the greatest country on earth. BALEM, Irn, July 13.—Mr. Bryan reached Salem, the place where he was born and spent his boyhood, at 11 o’clock to-night. The town expected the visit, and the great crowd of former neighbors of the young candidate, who turned out to do him honor, were not sparing in the ex- ercise of lung power. It was only two ‘weeks ago that Mr. Bryan was last at his native town. It had been a sad visit, for he had come to attend the funeral of his mother, who did not live long enough to see her son receive the highest compli- ment that could be paid him by his party. Nearly everybody in Salem knows Mr. Bryan, and the reception had a deeper significance than the others along the route. Salem is a typical Western county seat of the old sort. It has a public square surrounding the Courthouse, fronted by its two hotels and a number of dwellings. It looked as ough every one of Salem’s 1200 inhab- tants bad turned out to meet their former townsman, and Mr. Bryan's hand was shaken with a vigor that threatened to put it in the hospital for some time. His three sisters live here, and they were the happiest of those who clustered around the young oratorand told him how proud they were of his success. The train in which the nominee trav- eled the six miles between Odin and Salem was made up of ordinary passenger coaches, and the one Mr. and Mrs. Bryan entered was crowded with people going east from St. Louis. A seat was found for them in the center of the car, and they were surrounded by the passengers. The short trip was soon over, and when the train pulled into Salem at 11 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were given an ovation by the townspeople. The littie town has been in & great state of excitement all day, and to-night when Mr. Bryan arrived the townspeople turned out en masse at the station. On thear- rival of the train a salute was fired, and the whole\south end of Broadway, the principal street, was illuminated by a display of firewprks. Nearly every house along Broadway and Main street was illuminated by Chinese lanterns and candles. Mayor Lakin and a reception committee met Mr. Bryan at the station, and placed Mrs. Bryan at his side inan open carriage decorated with flowers and drawn by two spirited horses with a crowd cheering all the way. 3 The procession passed up Broadway and ‘then turned down Main street to the home of Mr. Bryan's sisters, The Salem brass ‘band was in the lead, followed by 8 Roman candle brigade, while a detachment of borsemen brought up the rear. The Misses Bryan with a number of relatives were gathered at the old home to receive their distinguished brother. Here were 2lso the three children of , the candidate. When the greetings were over Mr. Bryan stepped to the veranda of the house, a modest cottaze, and after the cheering had ceased, he addressed the crowd as follows: ‘‘Fellow citizens: I don’t know what to say more than to thank you. “There is no 8pot that ever becomes so dear to a man as the spot where cling the memories of his early childhood. 1 have come back to Sa- lem every few months, and as long as I live no spot will be so dear to me as Sa- lem. [Cheers.] I assureyou I appreciate the friendly interest you manifest, because in this there is'no party, but friends of all parties. Those friendly and those opposed to the principles which I advocate are here. I wich you might have had with me to-night the gentleman who occupies the place on the National ticket with me. 1 wish you could know Mr. Sewall. While my acquamntance with him has not been long, I think he isa manly man. I wish he could come heré and become acquainted with this enthusiasm. I may have an op- portunity to say something on Wednes- day,and I canonly say to-night that I am desply gratified with this reception in the place of my birth. I can only say thank you for your consideration. Good might.” SR REPUDIATE THE PLATFORM, More Journals That Change Froms For- mer Politics. LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 13.—The Even- ing Times, which is owned by the Courier- Journal, heretolore unflinching in its sup- port of every piatiorm and eandidate bear- ing the label of Demoeracy, even support- ing General Hardin for Governor last year notwithstanding his repudiation of the sound-money plank in the Democratic State platiorm, announces that it wall not and cannot support the Populistic, anarch- istic, un-Democratic and anti-Democratic ticket and platform put forth at Chicago. ROCHESTER, N. Y., July 13.—The Rochester Herald (D.), a morning paper, and the Union and Advertiser (D.), an evening paper, have placed the names of Bryan and Sewall at the head of their ed- itorial pages. Neither support the plat- form. AUSTIN, Tex., July i3.—The Austin Statesman (D.), the leading Democratic paper, denounces the Chicago platform as a Populist monstrosity and asks: *“Does the great old Democratic party intend to submit quietly to such an outrage?” The Statesman suggests a Democratic ticket with Hill as President and John B. Gordon for Vice-President. o R e A Bryan-sewall Club. BUTTE, MoxT., July 13.—A tremendous mass-meeting was held in Butte to-night, and a Bryan-Sewall club organized. Over 2000 voters signed the roll, including many of the most prominent Republicans in the city. Mayor Thompson and State Attor- new M. L. Wines, both Republicans, made strong speeches, declaring that no silver man could consistently support Mec- Kinley. Speeches were also made by prom inent Populists and Democrats. A DIPLOWATIC DISPUTE American Passports in Russia the Subject of Correspond- ence. Prince Lobanoff Explains the Attitude of His Goversment Toward the Jews. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 13.—The diplomatic correspondence contains a series of letters between the State Depart- ment and American Minister Breckinridge at 8t. Petersburg on the subject of the re- fusal of the Russian consular officers to vise United States passports in favor of Jews. This correspondence includes a let- ter from Prince Lobanoff, dated at St. Petersburg, July 8, 1895, in which the American Minister is informed in reply to an expression of opinion from him that the refual interposea by the Russian con- sular authonty to the request for a vise is contrary to the American constitution, which does not allow that a citizen of the United States should be deprived of his rights by reason of thbe faith he professes, The Prince asserts ‘“‘that the broadest spirit of toleration for ail cults formsithe very basis of the Russian laws; the Jewish religion is no more prohibited in Russia than in the United States; it is even le- gally recognized here and enjoys certain privileges, but when for motives of inter- nal order Russian law raises obstacles to the entrance of certain categories of for- eigners upon our territory, the Russian consuls, who can neither be ignorant of nor overlook the law, are in the necessity of refusing to vise tc persons who are known to belong in these categories.” Prince Lobanoff says further: *“As to the American constitation, I must con- fess that it sesms to me to be here beside the question., The srticle of the constitu- tion which you are good enough to men- tion and which prescribes that no religion is prohibited in the United States, is, by the very nature of things, placed outside of all prejudice by the consular authority. He has neither to prohibit nor authorize the exercise in America of any cult, and the fact of his vise being accorded or re- fused does not encroach uvon the articlein question. The refusal of the vise is not at all tack upon any established reli- t is the co uence of a foreign law of an administrative character, which has its effect outside of the territory of the Union.” The reference of all the matter to the State Department, giving his views as presented to the Russian Government by Minister Breckinridge, inciudes a state- ment from the American Minister to the effect that this Government cannot con- sent to certain facts complained of by Rus- sian consular officials, tending as ti do ‘‘to humiliate witnin its own territory by invidious and disparagine distinctions a class embracing many of its most hon- ored and valuable citizens, though in such a cause it wouid contend with equal zeal for a single though the humblest citizen of the land.” —_—— INTERESTS THE COAST.

CLEVELAND, Omro, July 13.—After nearly a month of carefal consideration, Chairman M.'A.

Osborne of Boston is made secre- tary of the committee and J. A. Dick of this city assistant secretary. The com- mittee will meet here next Wednesday. *1 am now preparing for the fight.”’ said Mr. Hanna to-day, with the air of a man who is confident of winning a prospective battle, “‘for there is going to be a fight, and a hot one ‘at that. We think that the ‘Western and Southern States are debatable ground, and we shall go into the contest with that ides. The Dakotas shoutd go Republican, Nebraska should be Republi- can, and the same is true of Alabama and Louisiana. “I have not fully made up mind as to the conditions ‘political of the people of the border States, but think we have a fighting chance there. In the campaign there are more issues than the tariff and the money questions which are of fally as much moment as the other two, and which, if anything, concern the main- tenance of our Government more than the two iseues which now hela the public mind. “I refer particularly to the stability of our judicial system, which is threatened by the Democratic party. In their plat- form isa plank which contends that the present system of selecting Judges of the Supreme Court be swept away. That court should be surrounded with the greatest protection in order to keep it pure and untainted, and the selection of Judges should not be settled by a sudden wave, a sudden excitement of the peovle; hysteria of the masses, thatisa good expression. Frequently the people are swayed by sentiments of momentary duration; they are wrought up to a high pitch and, with- out giving the matter sober second thought, act. On the morrow they are sorry for their course of action; bat then it is too late. The Bupreme Court must be guarded, as on its stability depends the soundness of our Government.” —_—— MAJOR McKINLEY'S VISITORS. They Predict Sucoess, but Desire & Vig- orous Campaign. CANTON, Osio, July 13.—Governor Mc- Kinley spent a great deal of time to-day answering letters and telegrams of con- gratulation. A delegation of business men from Jamestown, N. Y., called on him this afternoon and there were a large num- ber of other callers, Hon. C. 0. Whitmore of Utah had alonz talk with Major Me- Kinley. He has been trying to sell Utah bonds in the East and is going home to tell his free silver neighbors that there will be no market for their securities until the people have declared in favor of honesty money at the polls. Mr. Whitmore says the free silver idea is strong in Utah, but he thinks that with a vigorous campaign of education will come a great change in public sentiment. Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Charles Foster spent several hours with Major McKinley to-day. Mr. Foster takes a hopeful view of the situation,.and predicts McKinley’s election by a very large ma-- jority. He thinks, however, that the cam- paign should be vigorous, and’like most Republican politicians who come here, be- lieves the burden of the speaking cam- paign should be borne by General Harri- son, Senator Foraker, Thomas B. Reed and General Stewart L. Woodford, whose great financial debates with General Thomas Ewing in this State during the fiat money craze matter of history. —————— T0 STUMP FOR GOLD, Ex-President Harrison Will Bpeak in the Border Southern States. * INDTANAPOLIS, Isp, July 13.—The statement is made by friends of ex-Presi- dent Harrison that he will make a num- ber of speeches for the gold standard in :l.n wmh:lg‘ eaxln:lign, and tnat he will en- T upon his labors as soon as h i from his Eastern trip.

Y., July 13.—A Times special from Washington says: The re- port from San Fiancisco that accredited agents of the Japanese Ministry are in the United States prepared to make con- tracts for the building of several battle- ships is denied at the State Department, where the intentions of the Japanese Government, as far as the rehabilitation of its navy is concerned, are well under- stood. ‘While it is known that Japan proposes to at once contract fora number of first- class battle-ships, it is also known that the vessels will be constructed on the Ciyde and not in the United States. Since the begianing of the late war between Japan anfi China British shipbuilaers have an- ticipated these additions to Japan’s navy and have made their plans accordingly. Moreover, a number of the youneer officers in the Japanese navy have received their technical training in Great Britain, and these men are strong partisans for the country where their education was ac- quired. While the two great ship-building firms of this country—the Cramps of Philadcl- hia and the Union Iron Works of San rancisco—have been represented in Japan for only weeks at a time by a single agent each, their British rivals have sent scores of representatives to Tokio well supplied with money and instructions to entertain lavishly. These men have been kept con- tinually upon the ground, and their efforts have been supplemeuted by the in- fluence of the younger class of Janranese officials who were graduated from English training-schools, and who have their British friends through tte social and official influence which many of them are able to exert. Advices received from Tokio at the Navy | Departmient state thai only iwo cruisers would be built in this country, one by the Cramps and the other by the Union "Iron Works. These, it is believed, will be ves- sels of the Olympia class, which the Japa- nase Government seems to favor. A Y PERU TO BE PRESSED. Secretary Olney Will Push the Claims of Victor H. MacCord for $200,000 Damages. NEW YORK, Y., July 13.—A Herald special from Washington says: Among several important interrational! claims which Secretary Olney is pressing against Pan-American countries is the case of Victor H. MacCord, whose demand of $200,- 000 for brutal and inhumau treatment has been pending against the Peruvian Gov- ernment for the last eleven years. Secretary Olney, it is said, has recently sent instructions to the American Minister at Lima, which amount in effect to a de- mand for the prompt payment of the claim. No specific amount is named by the State Department, but the Secretary takes the ground in very positive terms that Mr. MacCord has a just claim against the Peruvian Government and that steps should be taken at once for an equitable seitlement. acCord’s action grows out of his ar- rest and imprisonment by the Peruvian authorities while he was acting as super- intendent of the Arequipa and Cusco rail- roads in 1885. There was a revolution in progress at the time. Through the perfidy of the engineer of the train conveyin troops on the road of whick MacCord ha charge it was delivered itato the hands of the revolutionists. MacCord was immediately imprisoned and word was sent to him to arrange his affairs, as an order had been issued to shoot him within an hour. He was re- leased after several days of intense suffer- ing, as the result of harsh treatment, on the payment of $7500. Fitathe Sk Royal Wedding Festivitics in England.
