MISSED THE TRIP.
Why the Argentine Minister Did Not Go
on the Minneapolis.

tPhlladelph!a hecOfu.)
lust before the Minneapolis sailed from
here last week for the trial trip which has
proved so successful DR.. B. Estanislaus
Heballos. the Argentine Republics Minis
ter 10 this country, who had been invited
to go along as a guest. walked up the
gang-plank in Cramps's ship-yarl, with a
servant. He was shown to the room which
had been reserved for him, and which. in
view OF the crude condition of the crui-
ser consequent upon her trial trip. he
found plainly furnished. He also dis
covered that the president OF the Trial
Board and Chairman Cummings, OF the
House Committee on Naval Affairs, had
staterooms that were somewhat more
roomy and better situated, but no better
furnished.
Dr. Zebalios at once declared that In
his capacity as Minister TO the United
States from the Argentine Republic he
could not accept any accommodations on
the ship which were not equal 10 those
assigned To any other person, and he
made request for a better room. IL
was impossible for Captain Sargent TO
md such accommodation or To turn Mr..
Cummings or any other official out OF
the quarters to which he had been as
signed. DIR. Zebalios declared that. under
these circumstances. he could not ac-
company the ship on the trip and would
leave forthwith. The officials OF the
Cramp Company expressed their regret
very politely, and DR.. Zebalios. with ser
want trailing along behind him. walked
down the gang-plank. and thus preserved
the dignity of the Argentine Republic.
but missed the most beautiful trial trip
that has ever been made.

Representatives are at their post ready

bill. How the scenes and actors on the

cratic programme Is carried out smoothly,
and well. ana the Republicans get uneasy
and restless, and make strenuous efforts
to throw frebrands Now, the Democrats
are divided, and the Republicans remain
quiet and serene. and encourage the dis
sensions. Now. German, Vest, Jones. and
Harris are defending Cleveland, and Hi
denOuncing him Now, Hill defending
and German and others denOuncing Cleve-
land. What do these things mean? They
mean that We are fighting inside OF our
party. and will finally agree on tariff
bill, that will be approved by Demo
cratic President as Democratic measure.
Compromise will be the result. Give and
take" All legislation on great national
issues for G,OoO.eO Of people is com

est number. Democratic promises will be
carried out.
Il am Democrat" will be the cry OF
all Democrats.
We cannot afford to so into the coming
campaign without tariff bill framed
and passed by Democrats. Any bill will
be an Improvement on the Mckinley bill.
\ bill means victory; no bill means de-
feat.
Already the Republicans are stealing
Democratic views and inserting them in
their various State platforms. The views
on which Democracy drove Republicanisn
from power are now being used to drive
Democracy from power Republicans say
they made mistake about silver In 1873:
their tariff bill needs modification; put
them in power they will restore silver.
and reduce the tariff. That will take with
the masses used by the Republicans as
it took when used by the Democrats.

tariff bill that the Democrats pass, nor
can ! believe that Wilson and Voorhees,
Will fail TO shake hands over the differ
cnces and pass a tariff bill. Compromise

not as the Wilson bill. nor the Voorhees,

let the brilliant statesmen Of West Vir-
ginia and Indiana equally claim that they

of women are firmly opposed to such a
