SECRETARY or WAR TRACY is reported
as desiring to have it known that ne did
not say, as he has been widely quoted as
saying, that the naval strength of Chill
Is greater than that of the United States.
What / did say, ," remarked the secre-
tary, this afternoon, '.was that believed
that Chill was ambitious to maintain a
stronger naval power in the Pacific than
any other nation, and that if there had
been no war in that country, and she had
not lost her ships, and if the three new
ships, constructed for her in Europe
were out, she could have done anything
she pleased with our Pacific squadron.
was not speaking, however, OF our ma
val strength as a whole, for the reason
that our Pacific and Atlantic squadrons
combined are much larger and more
powerful than the Chiian fleet"
The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1892-01-15

DESPITE all desires to the contrary.
says the Harrisburg Patriot, it now looks
as if Chill is determined neither to apol-
Ogize nor to make reparation for the at
tack upon American sailors. Every OPP
portunity for either or both has been
given TO that misguided country, and de-
spite what was looked upon as a peace
making banquet at which Blaine and
Montt discussed the matter, Chill rep
resentative has not been authorized to
make even proper cOncilatory state
ment TO this Government. A war is to
be deplored and so Is the necessity for it.
As General Howard has stated, we are
not not in condition for war and cannot
be for some time. Yet it is the opinion
of many newspapers that the nation 5
dignity must be maintained at what
ever cost.
1t is to be hoped by every patriotic
citizen that war will not become a neces-
ity, but rs the matter stands we must
hare an apology or fight. There is no
escape from the alternative if the apollo
gy be refused. The testimony of the
Baltimore's men has aroused warIike
feeling that can only be dispeIled 10y one
thing or the other

A Million Barrels.

New YORK, Jan. IA number of
fruit dealers who We're seen yesterday ex-
pressed the opinion that the attacks
made IN Great Britain upon the staple
of the American orchard had their
source in the same kind of prejudice
which has endeavored to keep our pork
out of European markets. The English
are jealous of the superiority and pop
ularity OF Uncle Sans hard and rosy
checked fruit. Said one dealer: Eng
land has got TO take our apples, for the
apples they raise over there are not good
for anything, and freights from New
Zealand to Loudon arc three shillings a
crate. During thepresent season ], ,Ol7,
0U0 barrels of American apples have
been exported to the United Kingdom. -

THE First National Bank of Muncy.
Pa, is the latest to close its doors and
leave ITS depositors mounting over

evidently something rotten in the super

administration. The government bank

crooked about the rotten banks until

thority that the various Boards of Mer-

the matter serious though, and the cX-

A Description of ths Great strncture--How
Delegations Were Seated.
CHICAGO, June 2l.-A circus tent
trebly magnified, with dozen huge
pendants stretching from the covering
to the floor-that was the appearance
of the big Democratic wigwam when
the national convention assembled to-
day. The supposed pendants OF shin
ing canvass were in reality stout posts
supporting what appeared to be mann
moth circular canopy floating in the
sky, but in reality substantial roof OF
wood raised some distance above the
walls to admit light and air above from
every direction. Greater. magnitude,
but naturally less appearance OF perma-
nency and beauty of finish, dtstln-
guished the mammoth temporary
structure from the Republican conven-
ton hall at Minneapolis. There the
predominating tint was old gold, where
almost glare OF white relieved only by
vivid bands Of red and blue. The vista
OF seats-a total exceeding twenty
thousand-seemed to lengtheu out right
and left, before and behind till the eye
became bewildered.
The gallery though encircling the en-
tire hall, and probably the largest ever
erected for a national convention, SEEM
ed to form part of the hundreds Of tiers
Of seats and not a distinct portion OF
As the crowds flocked INTO the hall al
most the first comment was that the
New York delegation had been given
back seats. Alabama, Indiana, Iowa,
Missouri, Montana, Pennsylvania, Wis
cousin and Wyoming were in the front
chairs. It was the result OF the alpha
bet, however, not OF any sinister polit-
ical design. The states highest in al
phabetical order, commencing with Ala
bama, were seated near, and the speaker
to the extremeright and the succeeding
states on the,roll ranged backward.

THE PLATFORM.
Trouble Over sIlver-kavors Free Coinage
of Gold and Siiver on Parity.

IEQuQLA over HtLNNE-E 4A0S SSAAAAS
of Gold and Silver on n Parity.
Chicago, June 21.-It was nearing
midnight before the platform commit
tee adjourned, and then their labors by
were far. from complete. a draft
OF the platform submitted by
Hon. G. H. Jones, of St. Louis, had
twice been taken upsection by section in
committee OF the whole and amend
ments and substitutes, for the different
parts had been piled up till the coun-
ell table around which sat the members
OF the committee was heaped foot
high with manuscript. Half in dispalr,
the committee assigned to a sub.cqm.
mittee the task OF bringing order out Of
chaos. -,
We favor reform OF the tariff, says
the platform, land reduction OF the
import duties with protection only to
such industries Us require 1t for the
protection OF American workingmen."
On the financial aud other important
questions the platform says: 1--WE do.
nounce the Sherman loan OF 1880 and
demand its unconditional repeal and
We favor the free coinage OF both gold
and silver on such basis as will
maintain the two metals on a parity
with. each other. We denounce all
trusts and combinations We congratu-
late the Democratic party for the
modern and more efficient navy which
had its birth under the last Democratic
administration, and we favor all ap-
propriations necessary for tho reason:
able increase and proper maintenance OF
this navy, and for the protection OF
our seaboards. We denounce that pol
ICY Of tho Republican party which by
oppressive legislation has resulted in
tho gradual Impeachment Of the
farmer, and We arraign the Republican
party as nm enemy to tho agricultural
classes and the foe Of organized labor
We reatfirm the old time Democratic
doctrine OF reciprocal trade relations
with foreign powers and denounce the
reciprocity professions of the Republl-
can party as subterfuge designed to
mislead aud deceive,
The platform also denounces the
"jingo" policy OF the Republican policy
and declares the present administra-
ton in itsioreign relations to be an OPP
pressor OF the weak and trucker to
the powerful.

PIrrsDuRuH, Pa, June 2l.-The joint

Association and the tin plate and sheet

seven o'clock, and at midnight was still

Another conference Of tho iron scale
committee will probably be held on

A committee OF foundrymen, carpen-

and a conference with Carnegie's will
not likely be held before Thursday.

Tho Sun once Moro Calls Attention to

Tho Sun once Moro Calls Attention TO
Clove, and's ROoord.
NEW YoRx, June 2l.-The Sun to-day
says editorially:
"Here in New York the great battle
is to be fought and won or lost. Ac-
cording to all the probabilities, as the
state Of New York goes so will go the
Union, and incontestably the vote OF
the city will settle the question whether
the electoral votes of the state shall be
cast for a Democrat or for Benjamin
Harrison for President. The center OF
the great Democratic line will be held
by The Democracy of New York, and
the brunt OF the fighting must fall upon
the Democrats OF this city.
"Give the Democracy OF New York q
genuine Democrat for leader, and the
Republican enemy will not be able to
stand up against It in the shock Of the
coming contest. 1t will force the fight
ing all along the line, and its victories
Of the past will be trilling successes as
compared with the triumph 1t will win
in November. The election will be car
ried, not by $4,000 or 10000, but by
100000 majority, and consequently the
state and the union will be the prize Of
tho Democracy in a quarter Ola century
to come. Turn this splendidly organ
ICED and supNrbly disciplined host over
to Mugwump leadership and the whole
falls into disorder. 1t becomes dis:
heartened. Instead OF consolidated
and enthusiastic forces there will re-
main only a confused and struggling
force, with raw captains and unfamiliar
cries and watchwords. It is to be a
glorious season OF sham fighting and de-
feat. The New York Democracy awaits
from Chicago the call to battle"
In another editorial the Sun says
"For the last time before the vote
the Democrats OF the south and
west who want to secure fair show fol
their ideas respecting the coinage OF
silver should glance at tho silver plat.

ENmoNs n1AINEs FUNERAL.


The Services are Simple In Character.
Many Floral Tributes.
CHICAGO, June 21.-Arrangements for
the funeral of the late Emmons Blaine
were completed only this morning. The
services were held at 2:So o'clock this
afternoon at the Mccormick residence.
They were Of the most simple charac-
ter. The remains rested in a black
broad cloth covered casket, which was
placed in the reception room. There
were many floral tributes from loving
friends, all of them being beautiful in
design. Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine are bear
ing up wonderfully well in their deep
sorrow, In. accordance with the wish
OF Mrs. Emmons Blaine, the body Of
her husband will be buried in Graceland
cemetery.
A lot has been secured adjoining the
Mccormick burial place and it has been
decided to bury the remains and not to
embalm them and place them in a
vault. The services were conducted by
the Rev. DIR. Mcpherson, Of the Second
Presbyterian church. There was no
sermon, and the minister simply made
few touching remarks concerning the
life Of the deceased and the lesson to be
drawn from it for the living.
DR.. Mcpherson then pronounced the
benediction and this closed the cere-
mony.
The casket was then transferred to
the hearse and the body was followed
to the cemetery by long concourse OF
friends.
