b [ whose operation is confined to certain subjects it bas as to those subjects all the attributes -of sovereignty, and one of these is always and everywhere within the territory of the States which oppose it, to suppress and punish those who in any wise interfere with the exercises of its lawful powers. “The fact that there are within that territory other governments exercising sovereignty oyer all matters not so com- mitted to it cdn make no difference under our double form of government, the es- sential principle of which is a partition of powers to be exercised independently over the same territory. X “This sovereign right of the United States necessarily follows its officers and agents everywhere they go, protecting and maintaining them in the discharge of their duties. Congress has accordingly by section 5297 of the Reviaed Statutes authorized the President to use the armed forces of the Government in aid of the State authorities when requested by them as provided in the constitution, and has also by the following section (5298) au- thorized him to employ such forces upon nis own judgment alone against unlawful obstructions, combinations or assemblages of persons in whatever State or Territory the 1aws of the United BStates may be forcibly opposed br the constitution obstructed. “It was under the power conferred by this last section that the late rebellion was suppressed. Mr. that this law is unconstitutional is more dangerous than that of secession. The latter at least left the Government some power and authority in the tersitory of States which should choose to remain. Mr. Bryan would reduce it to idle mim- icry of the stage. “It was no more intended to make the General Government dependent upon the States with respect to the matters com- mitted to 1t than to make the States sub- ject to the General Government with re- spect to the rights reserved to them. “What I have said is well known to lawyers and students of the constitution. It is chiefly intended for the people at large, befors whom the subject has now been brought. I will recall in this con- nection the following resolution proposed by the Hon. John W. Daniels of Virzinia, who was vpresident of the convention which nominated Mr, Bryan, which was vassed by the Senate July 12, 1894, Con- gressional Record, page 863, without ap- parent dissent: Resolved, ThattheSenateindorses the prompt and vigorous measures adopted by the Presi- dent of the United States and the members of hisadministration to repulse and repress, by military force, the interference of lawless men with the due process of laws of the United States and with the transportation of the mails of the United Statesand with commerce among the States. The action of the Presidentand his administration has the full sympathy and | support of the law-abiding masses of the peo- pie of the United States, and he will be sup- ported by all departments of the Government and by the power and resources of the entire Nation, “it must be that Mr. sryan under the many demands on his time and attention hasfallen into an inadvertence. Icannot believe that he really thinks that the President has no power under the consti- tution and laws to maintain the Govern- ment entrusted to his charge; nor can I believe that Mr, Bryan means to promise or to make or to prompt others to think he has promised not to interfere if he shounid be elected and the situation of the riots of 1894 should arise daring his term. I will not lightly question either his knowledge asa lawyer or his sincerity asa public man. Certainly his letter is generally misunderstood unless it means either that Mr. Bryan thinks the President has no power or that he would himself not use it if elected. Jupsox HARMON.” PROTECTION FOR LABOR, The Popular Cry Taken Up by the Trades Union Congress at Edinburgh. Paper-Mill Workers and Shipbuilders Have Grievances—Women and Children. EDINBURGH, 8corLax, Sept. 11.—The Trades Union Congress to-day passed a resolution presented by the paper-mill workers of Great Britain demanding that Parliament enact laws providing that every sheet of foreign paper imported into the country must have & water-mark showing the name of the country where it was meade; all roll paper to be marked at least once in every equare yard. The representatives of the mill-workers claim that the dealers in Great Britain now im- port foreign paper in large quantities and after changing the outside wrappers put it up as paper of domestic manufacture, On behalf of the Ship-builders’ Union a strong protest was directed to Parliament against the practice said to prevail in the Government dockyards of putting laborers to do mechanics’ work in the construce tion of naval vessels. This is set forth as inimical to trades union principles, as well ‘as being an evasion of the ‘‘fair-wage resolution” passed by Parliament in 1891, A strong resolution on the subject of child-labor was adopted, ending with in- siructions to the Parliamentary committee to demand as a temporary minimum from the Government the abolition of childe labor under the sge of 15, and of all night labor until the age of 18. The congress also passed resolutions in regard to the hours of working women, the introduction of a bill in Parliament regulating the hours of shop assistants, tle further regulation of the hours of rail- way servants and the municipalization of docks. It was agreed tha! the next congress should be held in Birmingham. Faeeigre s ot Zuigi Palmiri Dead. ROME, Iravry, Sept. 1L.-—Luigi Palmiri, the Italian meteorplogist, is dead, aged 86 years.

The conclusion comes irresistibly that you regard the aavocates of unrestricted silver coinage as being deficient in personal integrity and as seeking to estab- lish & monetary policy that will onor the American name. Being one of those whose personal in te; is thus impn_%ned,l make free to remind you that in 1878, as a member of the House of Represeniatives, you voted for ihe famous “Bland bill,” providing for tbe unrestricted coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. At that time the commercial value of the bullion which you voted to coin into a dollar was a little more than 90 cents. Ithad been much lower, but at the time your vote was cast it had risen considerably as a result of political agitation and prospective free coin- age. The Bland bill was at that time de- nounced as “repudiation” and “rank dis- honesty” by many of ihe prominent financiers who are now nvinr you their earnest support. In view of these facis, would you regard it as impertinent for me (0 request a public state- ment of your opinion as to whether or not the Bland bill was & ‘‘dishonest” measure, calcu- lated to “debase” our currency and **dishonor’ thecountry? It you answer in theaffirmative, in justice to yourself you should inform the cnunxr; why you voted for it. If your answer be in the negative, it snould be suppiemented by an explanation of how an act thet was houest in 1878 can be dishonest in 1896. There is no difference in princlgle nor even in degre; 0 far as the question of honesty is con- cerned. You were & member of the Fifty-first Con- gress and a candidate for the Speakership of the House. The Kepublican members from the far West have not forgotten how anxious you were for their support and how earnestly you reminded them thatyou had voted for free silver nearly twelve years before. Iwas one of those Wesiern members. At that time (1889), when silver bullion had fallen to less than 75 cents on the dellar in gold, you cer- tainly never gave any token that in your a};lnlon & law providing for the free coinage fi that metal would involve “financial dis- onor Mr. Bartine then reminds the major that he recognized the fact all through the Fifty-first Congress that the demonetiza- tion of silver was wrong; that the Bland- Allison law was t00 narrow and that some- thing further must be done toward silver restoration. He recalls the fact that the nominee was one of the special committee of fifteen appointed by the Republican caucus to endeavor to frame a “free-silver bill” upon which all Republicans could | unite. Mr. Bartine adds: You will not hesitate to say you were one of the most aciive members of the committee, and that none was more earnest than you in the effort to formulaie a measure for which all Repubiicans, including those who were in favor of free silver, might vote. Tn emphosizing the necossity of passing & sil- ver bill in subsiance you said, during the com- mittee debaies: “We must pass a silver bill, the countty demands it, but we must pass it as a party measure. Iam prepared to support auy bill that we can_ unite on. Ican accept iree coinage or the Windom bill, or anything else upon which we ean agree, but it is imper- ity |-1890 regard the free coinage of silver as mean- ing “financial daishonor”?

General Buckner, the nominee for Vice-President, arrived earlier with his | family and was at the Union depot at 6:35 thisevening with Colonel John R. Fellows to welcome his chief. The big train shed was crowded with | National Democrats when the Baltimore | and Ohio Southwestern express from the West came in. General Palmer and wife were helped from the Pullman by Na- tional Committeeman Zach Phelps, when General Buckner came up and threw his arms around the Presidential nominee, | while the band played ‘‘Old Kentucky Home.” { Geuverals Palmer and BRuckner took seats in a carriage with National Execu- ive Committeeinan Haldeman and Chair- nran ‘George Davis of ‘the State Central Committee. Mrs. Palmer was placed in a carriage with Mesdames Haldeman, Davis and Phelps. Several carriage loads of ladies and prominent Democrats | wheeled into line and the procession moved to the Galt House. Fla:s were fly- ing from nearly every house and the trip | to the hotel was made between walls of shouting men. The iwo genersls’ white heads were bare of covering and they made a fine ap- pearance as they rode up the streets bow- ing to thousands of admirers. When the hotel was reached a band in_the lobby began playing *Old Kentucky Home.” General Palmer and wife were escorted to the parlors on the second floor, which were magnificently decorated with red, white, blue and gold with potted plants. There they were introduced to Mrs. Buck- ner. Mrs. Palmer and her escort of ladies retired to one of the small parlors, while Generals Palmer and Buckner shook hands and chatted with all concerned for an_houar, There will be a great jam at the notifica- tion to-morrow night at the Auditcrinm.

DENVER, CoLo., Sept. 11.—The delega- tion of postoffice clerks from several East- ern States arrived in Denver to- day as ad- vance guard for the annual meeting of the National Association of Postoffice Clerks to meet here mext week. J. Maloney of | Springfield, Mass., was surprised to read in the press dispatches from Lincoln, Nebr., a report of the meeting of the dele- gation with Mr, Bryan yesterday, in which he is reported to haye assured Mr. Bryan of the support of the National As- sociation of Postoffice Clerks. Mr. Ma- loney wishes to correct thiserror. He said: “*We sent no dispatch in advance to Mr, Bryan or the Postmaster at Lincoln re- questing the honor of a reception, but some genitlemen on the train, without our advice or knowledge, which we learned afterward, did sena such a dispatch, and we were surprised upon our arrival to find Mr. Bryan at the station. As spokesman for the party I had the honor oF presert- a distinguished representative American, who is a Presidentfal candidate of a great wolitical party. We did not assure him of our support, nor did we predict for him a victory.

FOSTER AS THEIR AGENT \ He Arranges the Entire Pro- gramme for the Viceroy's Entertainment. SHOWS THE POWER OF A NAVY Takes Him to the Cramp Yards and Steers Hm Away From the Uaion Iron Works. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 1L—A story is told at the Navy Department which seems to expiain why Li Hung Chang avoided San Francisco and Balti- more and accepted the invitation to visit Philadelpbia. It is well known that the Ohinese Government proposes to construct many new war vessels, so as to stand upon a respectable footing with Japan. John W. Foster, ex-Secretary of State and a close friend of Li Hung Chang, hav- ing met him officially during his sojourn in China, is an agent of Cramp Brothers, ship-builders of Philadelphia. Mr. Foster was a self-constituted chairman of the committee on arrangements for Li's recep- tion and entertainment, and the adminis- tfation leit practically ev:rything in his hands. They even allowed him.to engage the Chinese diplomat’s quarters at the Arlington:Hotel in this city. This information was given to TrE CALL correspondent by an attache of the Ar- lington. Mr. Foster prevailed upon Li Hung Chang to visit the Cramp shipyards at Philadelphia, while the Columbia iron Works, at Baltimore, which builds tor- pedo-boats, gunboats and other light- draught vessels, as well as some of the heavier class of warships, was neglected. Itis also believed that Li Hung Chang was hustied off to the Flowery Kingdom, avoiding San Francisco and her Union Iron Works, for ressons best known to Mr. Foster. S XE PUM CHIN ARRIVES. An Event Second Only in Interest to Li Hung Chang’s Visit. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 11.—The arrival of Ye Pum Chin, Korean Minister to the United States, has excited an in- terest second only to that of Li Hung Chang's visit. Ye Pum and attaches, Ye Eni Tam, the secretary or the legation, and Ye Koi Sok, have been taking in the sights ot 'the National Capital. They seem to regard the cable-cars as great in- stitutions, and evidently. prefer them to horse earriages. Ye Pum Chin and his retinue have been blowing in .their pin money on the cable-cgrs. They enjoy front seats, and the sensation of “‘no pullee, no pushee” fills them with wonder and de- light. Ye Pum Chin puts on considerably more s.yie than his neighbor, Li Hung Chang, though he is every bit as inquisi tive. The Korean’s name, it must be un- derstood, is Ye Pum, the affix Chin being merely to indicate that he is of royal bicod, and curres;ondu with *“his excel lency.”” Thus. if President Cleveland was the ruler of Korea, or one of the Korean big bugs of royal biood, he would be known as Grover Clevelaad Chin. Ye Pum wears a long mustache, and a tuft of straggly whiskers sprout from his chin. He dresses in his princely robes of white silk and a cariously shaped head- gear adorns his cranjum, beneath which can be seen his hair done up in a knot like that of a country milkmaid. Ye Pum’s predecessor wasalso a *‘Chin,” but he wore store clothes, except upon state occasions, when he aressed in his native costume, the distinctive feature of which was a peculiar elongated headgear of wire netting, which looked like a bird- cage or flytrap. Ye Pum was wonderfully impressea with the Washington monument, and, ac- ing to the interpreter, be thought it W ery tall, very high house.” Ye Pum’s inquisitiveness greatly vexed the trginmen on the Canadian Pacific. He would jump on and off the train like a country boy having his first ride. He ex- pected the tra:n to wait for him, and could not understand why one of his princely blood should be burried.

Interesting Revelations Are FExpected From the Investigation. COLUMBIA, 8. C., Sept. 1L—If what has been whispered about in the last few days since the assertions made by Gover- nor Evans as to what certain people know avbout the affairs of the State dispensary be true, some spirited revelations may be soon expected. The State Board of Control has been called in extra session to see what is be- hind it. Colonel Jones, chairman of the State board, having ‘been asked why he called the extra meeting, replied that in view of the recent charges made against the Liquor Commissioners, he did not see | ow the State board could do otherwise than investizate the matter. He did not know what the action of the board would | be. He assembled the board, and will let it take whatever action it saw proper. RS To Issue Clearing-House Cevtificates. WASHINGTON, D.

Be Retiring O ficers and Their Probable Successors—Paterna. Zeal of Delegate Catson. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept, 11.—The ordnance burean of the army will shortly award contracts amounting to $175,000 in the purchase of ordnance material for coast defense under the liberal provision made by the last Congress. The proposed lately distributed in the shape of con- tracts among leadiug steel firms for heavy guns, mortars and carriages. The new programme includes the purchase of a lighter class of ordnance for use as a kind of secondary battery for the heavy artil- lery composing the main reliance of the coast defenses. Among the guns that are to be bought will be twenty breech-loading rified mor- tars of 7-inch caliber, costing, it is esti- mated, $40,600, and a large number of 3.6- inch breech-loading rifled mortars, ex- pected. to cost $15,040. Ten sets of steel forgings for 5-inch guns are also to be bought, and there will be another for assemblying and finishing these pieces of metal, the whole to cost the Government probably $30,000. Ten sets of steel howit- zers, to cost §$30,370, and thirty steel guns of 3.2-inch caliber will also be purchased at a cost of $20,000. Pay Inspector Worth Goldsborough, now general storekeeper at the Naval Academy, retires from active service under the sge limit in October, and creates a vacancy at Annapolis which will be filled by the appointment of Paymaster J. P. Loomisi Paymaster H. T. Skelding of Pennsylvania also retires about the same time that Mr. Goldsborough goes out, and another/good place will be open to some officer of that corps at Mare Island Navy- yard. The retirement of these officers gives the President two appointments of assistant paymasters from eivil life, and Secretary Herbert is said to have already made selections. Appointments in this branch of the navy are considered more valuable than iu any of the staff corps owing to the brilliant prospects of promo- tion. Many of the young assistants ap- go‘mked in recemt years will reach the ighest rank of their corps before they are 45 years of age, while heretofore many officers have retired at 62 as paymasters. The son of Postmaster-General:Wilson is one of the fortunate young men who will secure rapid advancement, and will be r:{dheetor long before -he passes his fiftieth year. A son of Admiral Ramsay is another, as is also a son of the late Pay- 2 one-story cemented brick struc- | W: master Arms, lost in the Samoan wreck, President Cleveland has made more ap- pointments in the pay corps than any of his predecessors, Delegate Catron of New Mexico believes in looking after the interests of his own family, and apparently kunows no reason why he should not. He has taken his Kolitioal life in his hands in so doing, owever, and may suffer from his zeal. He has absorbed both vacancies which hgve fallen to him at Annapolis and West Point by selecting his own sons to fill them, and yesterday one of his boys was admitted av Annapolis. Next March, when examinations are held at the military academy, he hopes to get hisother son in the army. Mr. Catron took ovug precaution to E“"d against failure and made one boy the alternate of the other at both Government schools. There have -been other cases in which Congressmen have designated their sons as cadets to West Point and Annapolis, but constituents do not look with favor on such practices, and as a rule have turned down the member w he came up for/ renomination. General Wheeler is one of the exceptions who as a member could appoint his own sonand still have the selection approved at home. General Wheeler’'s son graduated and is now a lientenant of artillery, with his station in ‘ashington. —_—— Transvaal Baid Investigation.

P 117 Gea WHY THE CUBANS JBENOT ALIANED Remarkable Article by a Spanish Military Writer. FACTS PLAINLY STATED. The Insurgents Have Taken the Lead in Everything During the Campaign. WEYLER'S UTTER INCAPACITY. Says Forty Thousand New Troops Will Amount to Nothing Under Present Conditions. NEW YORK, N.Y,, Sept. 11.—The Sun's Madrid correspondent, writing underdate of August 28, says: It is little wonder thatthe Cubansare not alarmed at the extraordinary increase of the Spanish army on the island. Gon- zalo Reparez, a military writer of renown, seems to share the Cuban view as to the probable effect of the new Spanish military expedition to Cuba. Ina remarkable arti- cle over his signature, published in the Heraldo on August 24, he says: 1 cannot refrain from speaking when I see the enemy taking the offensive in all parts of the island, in the neichborhood of Bayamo, at the doors of Havana, on the Trocha, and finally at Bahia Honda, which is the basis of our military opera- tions on the northern coast of Pinar del Rio. “Ever since the beginning of the cam- paign the iusurgents have taken the lead, as far as strategy is concerned. When they have wished to attack they have at- tacked; when they have wished to fight they have fought. “They made collections of arms when we did not even think there was going to be a war. They have abundant supplies of food for the maintenance of their army. They invaded the western districts grade ually just a little before our own expedi- tions were sent to the islands, so that when fresh expeditions reached Cuba the theater of war was already enlarged and the soldiers could not improve the situa. tion. “Last spring, when the whole island was already covered with insurgents, they advanced toward Santa Clara, and we answered their movements by thought- lessly spreading our troops throughout the western provinces, thus permitting them freely to carry out their second invasion. “The enemy will have done, before the 40,000 men who are now embarking land in Cuba, what they deem necessary in order to protect themselves. Ifthey think we contemplate a concentration of troops in Pinar del Rio they will becomis active in the esst and in Santa Clara so as to force us to send a .great part of the new expedition to those districts. . “Thus we have to face this dilemma: If we do as they wish we shall not be able to break Maceo down, and if we neglect S8an- tiago de Cuba and Santa Clara we may have to sufter misfortune there. “Buch as the war is now 40,000 men amount to nothing. For thid reason 100,- 000 should be sent at once, Gomez is be- ginning to move again; lei us move also. We are going to enter upon the deci turn of the war, and if we do not take a vantage of experience—if we keep on with- out a plan, without energy and without knowledge of what the enemy really is— we shall never win. *‘Upoa the arrival in Spain of General Ochando he tendered his resignation as chief of the staff of the Spanish army in Cuba. He was induced to do this both because of criticisms of his conduet and also because fuands were not supplied to meet the demands of the campaign. He says Spain’s principal aim now should be to prevent Maceo and hisforces from leav- ing Pinar del Rio, ana should that end be accomplished by General Weyler going personally to the Lield there isno gouht that Maceo would not be able to escape unless by sea, and that would give the in- surrection a heavy blow.” S e L SUPPLIES FOR MACEO., The Three Friends Lands Another Velu- able Cargo on the Island. NEW YORK,, N. Y., Sept. 11,—Informa- tion has reached this city :h‘t the steamer Three Friends, which left! Jacksonville last Friday, has again been succéssful in landing an expedition in Cuba inspite of the watchfulness of the Spanish war ves- sels which constantly "patrol the coast. The expedition was landed precisely where the Spanish Navy Department exerts its greatest vigilance. That is, on the coast of Pinar del Rio province, where a few weeks ago it was reported that the Cuban leader, intonio Maceo, wasin sore need of ammunition and clothing for his troops. The landing waseffected last Monday near Bahia Honaa, where a detachment of Maceo’s forces, which had been sent to wait for the arrival of the expedition, took charge of it at the moment the cargo reached the beach. o —tmmmeme Fifteen Brigands Exeouted.
