THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1896. —_—mm—m—————— - - WARLIKE FLAMES BLAZE IN ENGLAND Salisbury’s Eastern Policy Is Backed Up by the People. MASSACRES MUST STOP. Extraordinary Outbursts of Pub- lic Sentiment Throughout the Country. UNCLE SAM’'S HELP IS COURTED Preparing to Send a British Fieet Through the Dardanelles to Constantinop’e. LONDON, Exs., Sept. 12.—It is now an open secret that we are on theeve ofa | new and important development in the | Eastern question. Within the past few days authoritative word has been passed around among the Tory nobiemen and politicians that Armenia is *‘zood busi- tions do not weigh with the chief men of Hamburg, at 2ll events, or with liberal German papers like the Frankfurter Zei- tung and the Berlin Vossiche. Indeed, both in the two German empires and in France, it may be said that such sympathy as exists for the Armenians is almost wholly created by what Edward Drumont calls the “Semitic press.” The Norwegians in London are getting letters from Lome telling of a remarkable new outburst there of hostility toward King Oscar. There was great rage a while ago when he knocked off the hat of a peasant standing near him at a railway Station. and the Norwegian raaical papers in discussing the affair very frankly im- puted intoxication to his Majesty. Now, it seems, the King took umbrage at the | national character given to the reception of Dr. Nansen at Christiania, and in which Osear bore an unconscious part. It was uite nctural that on such an occasion there should be a good deal of patriotic effervescence, and equally so that when the reports reached Sweden they should evoke angry comments from the Swedish prese. These two nations have been wrangling so long that there is nothing new in this. What really is new is the fact that the KinF arranged to be inter- viewed by two Berlin journalists and gave them a long and violent tirade against the Norwegian people in general and Dr. Nansen in particular. He is described as trembling with “pas- sion as he spoke, and certainly the ac- counts of his remarks given by those who heard them contain denanciations and threats of an extraordinary character. The King intends to quit Curistiania at once, though his accustomed term of residence there is not nearly ended, and apparently he will leave his Norwegian subjects in almost as great a state of ex- citement as he is in himself. A curious conflict has arisen between the Berlin Municipal Council, which is an | advanced radical body, and tne Prussian Evangelical Counsistory, and the troubie is likely to develop into a fight between the Kaiser and his capital. Under Wil- | ham’s direct influence there has lately | been a tremendous spurt of activity in the bu:lding of new churches all over Berlin, and in numerous speeches the Kaiser has ness.” The result is an extraordinary outburst of Conservative sentiment of the most violent anti-Turkish character. Lord Glenesk’s paper, the Morning Fost, is sud- denly demanding a Guildhall mesting with the Lord Mayor as chairman to de- nounce the Sultan, while the Tory Standard declares that Abdul Hamid’s deposition has become inevitable. Lord Bute is to preside at a great mass-meeting called at Cardiff to demand British inter- vention and some of the most trusted Tory organizers are busiest in the work of arranging for a huge London gathering with the Dukes of Westminister and Argyll and possibly the Duke of Norfolk as the chief figures. It is soapparent that this activity means business that Liberal leaders like Asquith are hurrying forward to put themselves in evidence as being in favor of immediate and decisive British action. In all quarters the impression prevails that something sensational has been de- cided on. What this something is no one is in a position to say with any exactne Nothing is quite clear except the fact that Lord Salisbury wants a powerful public demonstration of back him up in a bold course, and that he will get it with a rusb. Public men who took part in the great Bulgarian agitation of twenty years ago say they now discern signs of a far more impressive National uprising than that one wes. If Gladstone ould be brought to London, after merely showing himself to vast gatherings at Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield and Bir- mingham on the way, and would simply stand up for a minute or two before such England’s eagerness to | 1auded this work and declared that noth- | ing else could gratify him so much.

They then adopted the ratio of ore church for 20,000 souls as the proper thing, and as this suowed Berlin to be twenty- nine churches short they proceeded to build them. Now, the Municipal Counecil has not only refused to sanction the out- | | lay slready incurred, but it has appointed | | 8 committee to mquire whether the coun- | cil’s legal adviser should not be punished | for having presumed to listen to the con- | sistory’s absurd propositions.

There is 3 sort of wondering hope latent all through England that the United States will appear as Great Britain’s ally in-the Levant when the definitive mo- ment arrives. Englishmen hardly dare 1o formulate this longing, for the thing seems too halcyon to be possible, but if the hope could be realized this little island would shake with joy.

Emperor William’s Train Run Down by the Dresden Express. BERLIN, GERMAXNY, Sept. 12—An acci- dent happened to the Emperor'’s train as his Majesty was leaving Loebau to-day after witnessing the miiitary maneuvers. ‘The Kaiser had bidden farewell to the King of Baxony and entered his special train, when the Dresden express ran into the Emperor’s train. The express was fortunately running very slowly and no one was hurt, nor was any particular dam- age done. The Emperor’s train proceeded ter a delay of fortv minutes. el Explosion on a Gunboat.

MOSLEM VENGEANCE FEARED. Rather Inglorious Ending at Goerlitz of the Most Extensive Military Maneuvers on Record. BERLIN, GerwMaxNy, Sept. 12.—For the first time since the Armentan massacres aroused attention here Germany appears to be on the eve of a popular agitation against the Sultan. The initiative in this movement comes from the Christian so- cieties of Germany, which have relations in various parts of Turkey similar to those possessed by the English-speaking Uhris- tian bodies operating ir Anatolia and other portions of the Sultan’s domain. Although this agitation did not originate in political circles or other influential quarters, there is not the slightest doubt that the movement has attracted general sympathy, and that it is finding a re- sponse throughout the couniry that will insure its success. A meeting of protest was held here on Wednesday under the auspices of the Berlin Christian Knowledge Society, but it was not of much account as fhowing the popular interest in the anti-Turkish A large mass-meeting was held in Hamburg on Thursday, howe¥ver, and on the same day a conference of the German clergy was held at Brunswick, | and those gatherings were of undoubted importance and weight. A continuation of mass-meetings similar to the one held in Hamburg will be arranged for in all the populous centers of Germany, ali to be conducted upon the same general line. The speakersat the Hamburg and Bruns- wick meetings have carefully avoided deaiing with the political aspect of tne Tnrkish question, and have limited their remarks to denunciations of the Turkish atrocities and to making appeals for their cessation, yet the North German Gazette employs its semi-official position to attack the anti-Turhish agitation as an ijl-timed and injudicious movement. In an article, which is understood to have emanated not from any German official source, but, on the contrary, from the Turkish embassy, the Gazette traces the recent uprisings in Constantinople and Anatolia to Armenian nibilists. The Armenians, the article con- tinues, have designed also to blow up the Greek churches in Constantinople, with the object of causing a collision between the Greeks and Turks, wnich would have caused a general massacre of Christians, It was not the Porte, the article adds, that caused the massacre in Armenia, but the Christian propaganda in Asia Minor, where their war-cry, “*Down with Islam!"’ incited the war of the crescenrt against the cross. The Gazette argues that European dip- lomats are keeping a sensible degree of re- serve and will interfere as little as pos- sible, because they know that aithough | the ironclads of the powers might shell the | Turkish ports and tbus force the Sultan to accept the reforms suggested in his em- pire they could not hinder the Moslems from exacting a terrible revenge in the massacre of hundreds of thousands of Christians. The Vossische Zeitung makes a vigorous attack upon the Gazette's article, whieh it characterizes as a menace. The Vossische Zeitung holds that the European nations will ~ee in such an attack no reason for ceasing to declare their loathing of the Turkisn outrages or to stop their prepara- tions to preventjthem. The military maneuvers which have been held at Goerliiz this week were the most extensive on record in respect to the number of troops engaged, bat they con- cluded to-day ir most inglorious style, the | heavy rainstorms which prevailed greatly impeding the movements of the men. The Emperor left Goerlitz for Siegesdorfon a hunting trip and the King of Saxony took his departure ior Dresden. There was a ereas deal of illness among the men in consequence of their having been bi- vouacking in heavy rains, and there were 2 number of iatal accidents that were not mentioned in the newspapers. The repre- | sentative of the United Associated Presses, who attended tne maneuvers, is able to | state from his personal knowlededge that three men were killed by the artitlery, one man was crushed under a gun at Pom- | neitz, a lancer and his horse were kiiled by falling into a quarry and another man by faliing from his horse and impaling himseif upon his lance. Herr Krupp has dismissed all the foreign workmen in his gunmaking works upon his alleged discovery that they have betrayed the secrets of the manulacture of | the Krupp guns to persons who were in- terested in other factories. Professor Bergmann, the eminent Ger- man specialist, who has been_in proies- sional aitendance upon Count von Suou- valoff, the Governor of Russian Poland, who was recently stricken with paralysis, reports that nis patient is slowiy recov- enng. Princess Feodore of Schleswig-Holstein, the voungest sister of the German Em- press, has been betrothed to Duke Fred- erick Wilheim, brother of the Grand Duke sf Me‘ckls‘;‘bnrgScnwenn. Princess Feo- ore is 22 years of age and ¥ erick Wilheim is 25, g Peredpe Prince Eitel Frederick, the second son of the Emperor, who was injured a week ago by falling from a pony at Ploen, where he is pursuing his studies, is stil confined to his bed. _The young Prince proves to pe more delicate than was supposed, and it is found to be very difficult to heal any wound or bruise that he may receive. MILES' TOUR OF THE WEST The General Is Expected to Make Many Important Recom- mendations. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 12. — Apropos of General Miles' visit to the far West, the Army and Navy Register say At some convenient point en route West, the commanding general wili be jomed by Senator and Mrs. Sherman, probably at Chicago. Officers who are in- formed as to General Miles' plan are ot opinion that his Western trip is of much more importance than was supposed. One of these officers said as much to a repre- sentative of the Register. He declined to | to-day. i | i i expected some exceedingly interesting recommendations to be be made b{n Gen- eral Miles upon his return to Washington, as a result of inspection in the West. Those recommendations, be intimated, would relate not only to posts, but troops, and concern the abolition of some of the former, and the transfer of some of the latter, The officer stated that he looked for suggestions from General Miles in the 1all, involving a change of station for probably six regiments of infantry and two, if not thiee, regiments of artillery. Bids will be opened at the Navy Depart- ment on Monday for the construction of the three battle-ships and twelve torpedo boats authorized a: the last session ot Congress, and representing a total appro- priation of about $15,000,000, three-fourths of which will be for the larger vesseis. Contractors would have preferred post- ponement of the opening of bids until aiter the November elections, as they fear that should the Chicago ticket prevail tbey would be accepting contracts that might entail heavy lossesinstead of the fair profits they expected to secure. There could be no departure from law, however, which stipulates that bid$ must be openea witnin sixty days after advertisements are issued, and contract awarded within ninety days. There will be lively and probably very close bidding for the battle-ships, and four firms at least are looked upon as con- testants for the big plums. The limit of price fixed for each of the three vessels of this class 1s about $3,000,000, exclusive of ordnance and armor, 80 thst 2 firm secur- ing two of the vessels will have about all the naval work it can attend to of this class. Although the Newport News Company, which only entered the battle-ship class of bidders last year, has two of this type now building, the firm is looked upon as certain to enter proposals for the new ships, and should it underbid the Cramps the depart- ment will be compelled award it the contracts; buf as the Philadelphia firm is now without many large contracts with the navy officials are bopeiul that it may may be the lowest bidder and get two of the ships and that the third vessel will go to the Union Iron Works of San Fran- cisco. Representatives of interested firms will be in Washington at the opening of the bids on Monday, but until Secretary Her- bert returns no awards will beannounced. Four days later bids will be opened for | twelve torpedo boats, three of which are to be of the hignest speed (thirty knots) | ever attempted in the construction of this type of boat in the United States. The remainder are to be comparatively small craft, of not more than thirty-eight tons | and a speed of twenty-one knots. The thirty-knot boats are to cost, exclusive of armament, not exceeding $100,000 each, | left at | is and as there is not much marg these low figures ior boats designed for such extraordinarily bigh speed, bids are hardly expected to come from more than one or two firms. No plans have been prepared for any of the torpedo boats and biaders are left to submit their own de- signs. kS The Herreshoffs, 1t is understood, will bid on all the boats, and especially anx- ious is the department that they secure the thirty-knot type, as it is contended that they are amoag the best fast-boat buildersin the country. It was at their suggestion that they would build thirty- Knot, or even better, torpedo-boats for the navy that Secretary Herbert secured pro- vision for these vessels. Heretofore the Cramps have declined to bid on torpedo- boats, but this was dae 1o the fact that when proposals were asked they had about all the naval work they could han- dle. It is said that they will bid on all | classes of ships this time, as will also the ! California firm and Newport News Com- pany. After awarding contracts for this new naval fleet, one of Secretary Herbert’s next acts wiil be to find names for the fifteen ships. It is not likely that he will leave this to the incoming administration, but will name the vessels before the keel blocks are laid. The quota of enlisted men allowed the | army and navy are now nearer filled than | at any period in recent years, and officials | re assured that no ferther trouble will hereafter be encountersd in securing ail | the excellent material . either service | requires. At present the total strength of | the regular army is between 24,600 and the | limit 25,000, and the few men lacking to | complete it could, autherities say, pe en- | listed in ten days. The strength of the navy’s enlisted force | is now 11,000 men, with the aaditional | | men added by the last Congress, and of this number there are enrolled all but 400, | This number applies almost monthly at the various recruiting stations and the en- | tire quota could be maintained without difficulty but for the discharges which fol- | low every week or so. Admiral Ramsay, who has the enlisted | force of the navy in charge, believes that | not since the early days of the old navy ! has there been a larger proportion of ! American citizens on our warships. He | attributes this to the better accommoda- | tion afforded sailors on the new ships and the fact that every encouragement and iu- ducement is held out to Americans to en- | ter the navy. Foreigners, furthermore, who enlist are | now required to take out naturalization | papers, and many of them do so. The | personnel, too, ot the present naval crews | is said to be superior to that of the service | for years and is constantly improving | under the strict inspection system exer- cised by officers at recruiting stations. Al-| though 2000 men have been added to the navy in the last eighteen months, with the completion of the new ships the pres- ent force will be inadequate to the de- | mand, and in a very short time 4000 or | 5000 more men will be required if the ves- sels are to be maintained in commission | under full crews. | A big battle-ship like the Indiana or Kearsarge requires a complemant of 500 men, and as the navy will soon have build- | ing six of this class of ships to man them | alone will call for at least 3000 more sea- | men. Exclusive of these battle-ships there are nine crunisers buildingand a | large fleet of torpedo-boats, so that within | three years the 11,000 men now allowed | the service will not be sufficient by 5000 men to keep the full strength of the navy in active commission. el e INCBEASING THE DISCOUNT, English Bankers Reaping a Harvest From Uncle Sam. LONDON, Exe., Sept. 12.—A reporter of the United Associated Press, as a result of inquiries among leading London bank- eré and financiers, learns that bankers generally are in expectation that a farther draft for gold will be made upon Gmtf Britain by the United States, but none of them wil venture to estimate the extent of the draft. As to a further increase of the Bank of England’s rate of discount, there is no doubt that the bank will raise its rate to 3 per cent in the event of any large drain o{pgolu from England, and it certainly would not require a drain as large as £6,000,000 sterling—the sum which it was reported yesterday had been arranged for —to cause a rise in the discount rate. The Statist in an article’en the situation says: Nobody can foresee how large the American drain of gold will be, but vru- dent bankers will lose no time in making their discount rate effective. - e —— California Fruit in London. LONDON, ExG., 8ept. 12—Four thou- sand half-cases of California fruit were offered for sale at the Covent Garder: mar- ket yesterdsy, 2000 of which were disposed of, the remainder, all pears, being heid over until next week.

KANSAS OITY, Mo., Bept. 12—Wil- liam J. Bryan made two speeches in Kan- sas City this morning, one to the working- men of the two Kansas Cities in the | packing-house district, the other to a vast crowd of people at the corner of Eleventh | street and Grand avenue, uptown. The | H Armour people gave all their employes an { | hour to see and hear Mr. Bryan. | Mr. Bryan was met at Leavenworth by | ! a special committee o escort him to this | city, where he arrived at 6:30 o’clock. At | | 70’clock he addressed a crowd of 10,000 | workingmen in the bottoms. He spoke as follows: Fellow-citizens: This is a little earlier than I usually commence my morning’s Wwork. | [Laughter.] I am very giad to be able to speak | 10 you even for a moment. Some of our op- | ponents tell us that the thing to do is to open | the mills instead of the mints. That reminds | me of the man who said that his horses would | | go all right if he could just get the wegon | started. [Laughter and ‘1,’,"““"- Itis put- | | ting the cart before the horse. What useis | there for mills unless the peopie can buy wirat | the miils produce, and now can you start | | them ns long as those who produce the wealth | | of this country, particular.y the farmer, are | | not able to get enough out of what they raise | | 10 pay their taxes and interest. [Appiause]. | | There is no more effective way of destroying | | the markets for what the milis produce than | | t0 lower the prices of the products the farmer | has raised so thst they will not bring him enough to pay him for raising them. | | _There was a report once filed by Mr. Me- K:nley in 1890, along with the McKinley bill, | and that report declared that if there was great | | industrial depression in sagriculture there could be 1o prosperity anywhere, it was irue | | then, and it is true to-day, that while there is | | depression in agricultural products, there can | be no prosperity anywhere. You mustcom- | mence at the bot:om and Work up through the | other classes. You cannot commence your & | prosperity at the top and expect it to work | down through all the classes of society. [Ap- | | plause.] You gentlemen who live in ti sy, | | surrounded by an agricultural country, know | that there is 0o way of bringing prosperity to | Kansas City until you first bring prosperity to those toilers upon whose success Ransas City rests. [Applause.] . ! | "It does not require financiers, it does not re- | quire a railrosd attorney to tell you where yoar prosperity lies. [Great applanse.] Nor can these men prevent you from exercising the right of sovereignty as you please. [Ap- plause. A voice—“They are trylug to_do it.” Another voice— ‘Missouri gives you 109,000 majority, you bet.” Ancther = voice—Pui Kausas down for 80,000, Another voice— nd Atkansas s all right.”] That sounds very much like one of those meetings where ihey take up a collection. When you talk about the resulis of an election | the people of the various States vie witi each | other to see who can make it the nearest to | unanimous. Unlessall signs fail the peopie are 2oing to be 8t the polling-places this year before the booths open and stay there until they close, and there won't be a man who can get to the polis but who will be sure to be there. | What does it mean? It means that the people are taking the interest in tne slection ey | are beginning to understand the value of the | baliot as the means by which they can redress | their wrougs. Semetimes peopie have com- plained that bad laws would be adopted and nave allowed them to remsin bad. They have | complaired that they onght to be better and | have done nothing to make them beiter. If | the laws are bad they themseives are to blame, and if they wish good laws they must secure them themselves. And this interest means something.

[ Applause.] After the address in the bottoms he was scorted to the Coates House for break- fast, where he met the reception commit- tee from St. Louis, after which a parade was formed and he was taken to the corner | of Eleventh street and Grand avenue, | where he spoke from his carriage to an au- | dience of 25,000 people. Mr. Bryan said: | 1 want to suggest a few propositions for you | to bear in mind in the discussion of the money | question. Our opponeuts teil us that we are 1going 1n the faceof natural laws.

We belleve not only that free coinage of silver will raise the value of silver bullion as measured by gold, but we betieve that the demand created by the | opening of the United States mints would be | sufficient to take ail surp.us silver, and there | betn& then no silver upon the market which cannot be converted into money at our mints | to use in the development of our industries | there will be no silver in the world whnich can | be purchased for less than $1 29 per ounce in gold. [Greatapplause.] | SALISBURY, Mo., Sept. 12.—A thou- sand peopie at Brunswick swarmed around Mr. Brysn when his train reached that place and shouted wildly until he began to talk. His speech was very brief. A brass band augmented the shouts of the crowd at Dalton. Keylesville turned out a larze number of people. The crowd :as of good size, but the train drew quickly away, and Mr. Bryan did not make a epeech. CENTRALIA, Mo., Sept. 12.—An exeit- ing incident occurred while the Bryan train was at Salisbury, where it stopped a minute. With tne experience of his party with pickpockets during the recent trip through New York and Ohio fresh 1n his mind, Mr. Bryan had been watching with suspicion all the morning the actions of some men on the train who would get off at every station and circulate among the crowds. At Sahsbury tbe throng avout the train was large. Mr. Bryan had just begun a speech, but stopped suddenly and with his finger in- dicating a particular place in the gather- ing said: *“Hold on, there are two pick- pockets operating down there.” The crowd in an instant, but before those on the train couid see the result of Mr. Bryan’s detective work the signal to start was given and a speech, if no et- books, was lost. However, Mr. an’s detective work met with success at Hunts- ville, where his train arrived at 1:30 p. M. He had spoken to Cotonel John L. Martin of St. Louis about the men whom he be- lieved to be pickpockets and as Colonel | headguarters to-day, Martin and Mr. Bryan stood facing the Huntsville audience the former asked the candidate if he saw the suspicious men in the crowd. Mr. Bryan. The two men indicated by him were moving around through the people actin; very suspiciously. The town maflhj who was with Colonel Martin on the train platform called out that there were pick- pockets in the crowd 2nd the two men whom Mr. Bryan had pointed out made a dive for the outskirts of the throng. “Stop tnem, farmers!” cried Colonel Martin, and in an instant the two men were in the hands of balf a dozen sturdy men. They were carried off by their cap- tors, and ail Mr. Bryan and those accom: panying him knew was that they had railroad checks in their bats, showineg that they were passengers. Huntsville numbered about showed much enthusiasm. made a few remarks. Moberly was reached at 1:55 o’clock and ixhe-rty reception was given Mr. Bryan. He made a short speech. Seated in a car- riage covered with bunting and drawn by four horses Mr. Bryan was conveyed from the ssation at Moberiy to the public park. A mounted escort went along. ore than 5000 people were gzathered in the square, and they cheered the candidate witha vim as he came on the speaker's platiorm with Mr. Stephens, the Demo- cratic candidate for Governor. To his audience Mr. Bryan said: Ladies and gentlemen: Iam not speaking in Missouri because it is unnecessary, for if Mis- souri goes back on the principles set forth in the Chicago platform, which the Demoeracy of Missouri has believed in at all times and un- der all circumstances, then to what State can we go and expecta welcome? [Cries oi “None, none” a 1d ‘‘Arkausas.””] We counton the yote of Missouri, and_if we needed anything to in- sure the electoral vote of Missouri there is not 8 State in the Union richer in public speakers; s01do not come because it is not necessary, but stmply to see the people who are so enhu- siasticaily supporting our ticket. Let me call your sttention to one characteristic of this campaign. Ihavesaid you are rich in public speakers, but do you know in a campsign like this no community is poor because in svery community can be found public speakers. In times of quiet very often the machinery of the party takes charge of things, butin times like these the people themselves rise up, 2nd if the machine docs not do what it ought then they have the remnants of anachine scattered all over the State. [Applanse.] The machinery of 8 pariy is used to advance the principles and interests of those for whom the party speaks. You are fortunate in this State that the machinery has been acting in har- mony with the people of thj State, but in States where 1t has not done so Shey are find: ing the people are greater than any mechine. 800, and Mr. Bryan | [Applause.] They tell us the silver ecraze is dying out—that it is e lunacy. 1f so the lunacy is speading so rapidly that by election time there will not be goidbugs enough left to furnish guards in the insane asylums for all these silver lunatics. [Great laughter.] Some of those who afew montbs were calling the advocates of free coinage lunatics are to-day the most enthusiastic ad- Vocates of free coinage we have, and they are grateful to those who saw the conditions be- fore they did [applause] and the new converts are among the most zeaious supporters we have. Mr. Bryan was driven back to his train followed by a crowd of cheering peopie, nd resumed his joarney to St. Louis at 2:20. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 12.—Three big audiences were addressed by William J. Bryan to-nmight, and each of them gave him an ovation of which any man might be proud. Reaching St. Louis from Kansas City at 6:15, in compsny with Governor Stone, Lon V. Stevens, the Democratic candidate for Governor for Missouri, and other prominent politicians, Mr. Bryan was greeted atthe Union station bya crowd of several thousand people, who made the spacious trainshed ring with their shouts. After supper Mr. Bryan, at 8 o'clock, started out on his round of speechmaking, doing the jumping from | Ehce to place in a special trolley-car. oncordia Park, the Auditorium and Sportsman’s Park were the places where he spoke. - THAT DISPUTED AKTICLE. What the London Financial News Said About Silver. CHICAGO, Iin. Sept. 12—The cam- paign managers at Democratic National headguarters were elatel to-day at the re- ceipt from Durant Press Cuttings, a re- sponsible London concern, of a certified cory of the much-discussed and -disputed article quoted from the Financial News of London under date of April 30,1894, which declares ‘““that if the United States were to adopt a silver basis to-morrow British trade would be ruined before the year was out.” When the Republican campaign man- agers denied the authenticity of the arti- cle and ciaimed to have received a denial of the same by the editor of the Financial News, inquiry was made in London as to whetuer the journal of that date really did contain such an article. The response was received as above und the editorial 1n | gnestion will now be spread broaacast by the Democratic managers and others working for free silver. Senator Teller of Colorado, who was at stated that more than a year ago he was shown and read a copv of the Financial News of April 30, 1894, containing the identical editorial, which s entitled *‘Engtand and the Silver Question.” Senator Dnbois of Idaho came to head- quarters with Senator Telier, and they had along conference with Congressman Ricbardson and Secretary Walsh.
