md SufYra Uiats

and SuHragiats.
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Chairman JONES'
of the national greenback committee. will,
tomorrow, issue a circular letter in which
he will say:
'In reply to many inquiries from prohlbl-
tionists, female sutfragists aud representa-
tives of other sentimental or semi. political
organizations asking admission to our
party or what action will be-
taken by the coming greenback
convention on the question they represent, 1
honestly advocate such doctrines, that it is
the unanimous opinion of the members of
the national greenback convention to be held
at Cincinnati, Seutember /, to confine its
declarations of principles to the ques-
tlons of restored fraternity and the
spirit of true American nation
ality among the entire people,
opposition to tho dangerous sectionalsm of
the solid north and the solid south, to the
payment of public debts according to the
original contracts under which they were
issued, to money. land, transportation, trusts,
boards of trade gambling on and making
prices for American farm products, English
capital manufacturing or handling the pro-
ducts Of American labor and to such other
questions as affect the material interests
and welfare of the American people and free
government"
The letter then says that trade and COM
merce are languishing for want of more
money, and declares that the application Of
greenback principles would stimulate busi-
ness and increase the prosperity of the labor
ing classes and of the merchant and manu-
facturer,

A MASONIC RUhlPUs.
The Ccrncau Scottish Rite Declared
CIandcstinc Body.


WASHINGTON, July 23.-The controversy,
which has been general among the Masonic
fraternity throughout the country respecting
the Cerneau Scottish rite, has eliminated
here in the issue OF an edict by Harrison
Dingman, most worshipful grand master Of
the Masonic order of the District of Colum-
bia, under date of July %, pronouncing the
Cerneau organization n clandestne one and
warning all members of that rite that they
arc liable to discipline from the grand lodge
unless they ut once withdraw from the said
Cerneau body The main reason for
the edict, aside from ether ques-
tions arising in the Scottish rite
controversy, is stated to be that
the Cernean organization has established re-
lations of amity and Masonic correspondence
with the Grand Orient of France, the gov
erning body of the Masons in that country,
which Is under the ban OF at least every
English speaking grand lodge in tho world
because the Grand Orient has stricken tho
name of God from its ritual. The grand
lodges of this country, II is said, have addi-
tional grievances against the Grand Orient
of France because the latter persists in re-
cognizing the negro grand 10 dges OF the

winning team now, and ono of
the very best we have gotten together in the

every one of them, and the management

Continental Capitalists, Fearing a
Rupture, Sending Their Money
to London for Investment
in This Country.
WASHINGTON BUREAU, THE OMAHA BEE,
513 FoUHTRENTH STREET

y
An English solicitor, who has been In
Washington for some weeks and who is con-
nected with some of the monied syndicates
which are creating so much talk in tho news
papers at the present time. explained to-day
the reason why so much foreign capital is
seeking investment in the United States just
at present.
''In the first place." he said, 'the syndi-
Gates are operated with English capital alto
gether. Money from all sections OF the con-
tinent is pouring into London for the purpose
of being invested in American enterprises.
The reason for iti well the truth is that
there is a widespread impression throughout
whole continent is drifting in the d.
rection Of war. This idea In
growing rapidly and is causing a
withdrawal Of money from enterprises
throughout Europe. II explains the reason
for the great industrial depression which has
prevailed for some time, aud which seems to
be on the increase rather tnan on the de-
crease. Capitalists are looking for some
thing which will be safer than European
stocks when this time shall come, and they
are sending their money to this side Of the
Atlantic in order to be prepared when the

Tue solicitor nlmsel1 mad made preparations
for heavy investments for his clients. Wash
ington real estate was to have been bought
up in large blocks, SO the story goes, but the
discovery that the alien land act prohibits
the ownership of land in the District of CO.

for while at least.
