GLORY OF GROVER
Democracy Is Nothing To-
That
NEW FINANCIAL POLICY
To Be Advocated in the Presi-
dents Message.
WORRIES TEE PARTY LEADERS.
Cleveland Cares Nothing About Dis
cord so Long as His Admin
istration Is Redeemed.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 19. = Congressman
coming back to the city for the short
session are intensely interested in the re-
ports that the President proposes TO an
nOunce new financial policy in his forth
coming message to Congress, and the iu-
timation that it is likely to he decided
stand in favor Of radical change in the
present policy. rimid Democrats are fear
tul that such action may create further
and more serious divisions in the Demo
cratic party, aud favor policy OF inaction
and neutrality for the present. II is
learned from a reliable source that the
President fully expects to create further
differences in his party. but that he con-
Siders such result a matter of no im-
poTtance in comparison to the object he
has in mind, which is the adoption of
sound financial policy during his admins
tration, whether it is put into effect by a
Democratic or Republican Congress.
1t is said that when these timid coun-
seiors unbosom their fears to the Presi-
dent he replies by asking them if the
events of the past year have been of a
nature to encourage him 10 give much con-
sideration to the factonal interests of the
Democratic party. 1t is said by those who
nave talked with the President recently
that he indicates the mosl supreme uncon1
cern as to what may be the political effect
of the financial legislation which he pro-
poses 10 advocate, and that while Mr..
Cleveland is not taking the fact into
consideration in his calculations he
believes chat the Democracy in 1896
will rally TO the support of
sound money policy. and that what may
now prove a cause for discord will eventu-
ally result in good. It is limited. in very
delicate manner of course, that the Presi-
dent feels that p ssibly some people in
this country might have the idea that his
administration up TO this time has not
been very glittering. and that in the time
yet left to MIN he may succeed in dispell-
ing this feeling by at least assisting in the
adoption of substantial financial system,
even if the Republicans take some of the
glory by enacting the necessary legislation
TO carry such policy into effect.

to heed Kolb's advice. but If they do, the
consequences will be on their own heads"

GROVER AFRAID OF CONGRESS.
He Will Attempt TO Head Off Threat
ened Inquiry.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The statement
was made in Congressional circles to-day
that President Cleveland's message to
Congress would throw light on the China
Japan question and would foreStall any
resolution of inquiry.
AS the Secretary of State, unlike any
other Cabine; officer. makes no annual re-
port to Congress, the Presidents message
ordinarily deals with the affairs in which
this Government has any part, and as the
recent negotiations with China and Japan
are the most important questions the de-
pariment has had to deal with In some
time. it Is concluded that Mr.. Cleveland
will make clear the position of this Gov
ernment. Up to the present time there is
n official information on the subject, and
the State Department has not even stated
Japan are in progress.
The reading of the Presidents message
is the first business of Congress. so that it
would precede the contemplated introduc-
tion of resolutions Of inquiry by Repre-
tentative Beliamy Storer. 1t is the belief
of those familiar with President Cleve-
lands position against foreign entangle-
ments that such reference as be may make
statement that this Government sought to
secure peace on the ground of humanity,
urging that while America need mol reach
abroad for conquest and acquisition it can
welladopt an enlightened policy which will
aid Ia maintaining the peace and progress
of the world.
The China-Japan incident. as far as the
United States offer of mediation is con-
cerned, is considered closed for the pres
ent by those 10 position to understand
the situation. At the department. and at
the Chinese and Japanese lega tions there
is only negative information to the effect
that no positive answer to the American
suggestion of mediation has been received.
Yet well-informed persons say Japan has
made the position clear in such a way
as to avoid the embarrassmeuts of a posi-
tive declination and yet show acceptance
to have been based On certain definite con-
dtions.
1t is believed that the essential consider
alton on which Japan would consent to
any mediation is that China will raise the
white flag of truce. the emblem recognized
the world over as an indication that a
contestant wants TO treat tor terms OF
peace. China has not yet made any direct
offer to the japanese and the latter are not
disposed to consider roundabout offer
which oveTlooks the international EN- bem
OF the white flag.

Out American Beef.
COPENHAGEN, Nov. 19.-Tbe Minister
OF Interior has issued decree forbidding
the importation of live cattle and fresh
meat from the United States.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 19-Count Revent-
low. he Danish Minister, first heard OF
the action of Denmark in excluding Ameri-
can beef and meats through the Associated
Press cablegram from Copenhagen. The
Count ex' ressed surprise. as no action in
that line had heretofore been contem-
plated. He said the action was probably
due to a request from Germany, as beef
received at Danish ports frequently would
find its way into Germany and thus over
come the German restrictions. He had
never heard that any of the American
product in Denmark was affected with
Texas fever. Under these circumstances
he feels that The action of Denmark is not
SO much aimed against the United States
as it is to make Denmark's neighbor, Ger
many, effective in her exclusion. The
Minister has not yet received any official
advices On the subject.
