REPUBLICAN OPINION.

The expression of opinion on the silver
question by delegates 10. the Lincoln
League convention at Cleveland. as
given in interviews TO the Leader. shows
that outside of the silver-producing
States and two or three small States
contiguous to them, there is no control
ling sentiment in favor of the free coin
age of silver by an act of Congress.
There are undoubtedly spots here and
there In States where local leaders. from
one cause or another. have espoused the
heresy and have a following. but in no
State does ii represent a controlling ele-
ment. The Southern delegations TO the
league convention are practically solid
against the mine owners demand. Ex-
Senator Clayton. of Arkansas, declared
that the Republicans of that State are
against free coinage. A Texas delegate
expressed the opinion that the Republic
ans of that State are for sound money.
while one of the few delegates from Mis-
for his attending the convention was to
oppose the free coinage proposition. I'VE
are for sound money! said prominent
delegate from Tennessee. while four
fifths of the Democracy are in favor of
free coinage to-day" Probably there
were individuals who were delegates
from Southern States who were in favor
of free coinage. but the tide of Repub-
lican sentiment in that section is in &C
cord with the last expression of the Re-
publican party in national convention,
and with the recent Republican conven-
tions in Ohio and Kentucky.
Beyond the Missouri river, outside
of the silver-producing States, the SEN
timent is hostile to the free coinage
proposition. Mr.. Thurston. the newly
elected Nebraska Senator. declared
against the mine owners proposition.
while the new Senator from Kansas,

Judge Baker. speaking fer that State.
said:
sufficient revenue can be obtained to MAIN
tain the government without selling bonus
at a great sacrifice, and many are of the
opinion that the Democrats, Populists,
Anarchists. Socialists and brigadiers have
gotten up the silver furore, hoping thereby
to divert the minds of the people from the
real cause of the depression OF business.
The Kansas Republicans believe in protec-
ton because they believe in business, and
not in idleneSs.

ruin TO the new country.
These are samples of the opinions ex-
pressed. all tending to show that in the
Republican party the silver sentiment is
potential only in the silver-producing
States.

THAT CHINESE LOAN
AMERICAN CAPITALISTS STAND A
CHANCE OF GETTING 1T.
Valuable Suggestions to Dairymen I'm
Secretary MOrtOn's Year Book
Crop News Correspondents.

WASHINGTON. June 21.-Oficials of the
Chinese legation say that the American
capitalists who are negotiating in China to
secure loan Of 2oO,OOO.oOO taels. which
China is about to pay to Japan. are by
no means urging vague or futile suit.
and that they stand quite as good a
chance of securing the loan any other
money representatives Some misapprehen-
sion has been created by cable statement
that China has closed her loan in Paris.
1t is explained by the officials that this
loan is subordinate one of 100000 taels
TO cover the surrender OF the Lao Tung
peninsula. AS Russia and France prevailed
on France to make this surrender, thus
yielding the permanent occupancy of Port
Arthur, these two countries undertook to
guarantee the loan Of 5000 600 taels. which
reimburses Japan for this particular trans
action. But the main indemnity of 20o,0oO.-
900 taels carries no guaranty by Russia and
France, and it is this main loan which is
still open, and TO which the attention OF
much interesting speculation as TO the re-
suit OF the loan If IL Is secured by the
American parties. 1t is said that the first
result would be the shipment of an UMPIRE
cedented amount of silver But as China's
bonds and payable In gold the ultimate
result would be TO bring back gold for the
silver paid to Japan. 1t is pointed out also
that the interest on the entire loan will
not exceed s.. 000.0 900 annually so that the
Chinese customs receipts of $230O0.000 will
readily meet the interest charges and pro-
vide sinking fund for the redemption of
the bonds, which will probably run for
twenty years.

Evidently they found decided change
in the minds of the same men who were
at Denver in 1894. But the delegates
were no longer complaisant; they were
hostile to the demands of the representa-
tives of the silver-producing States. The
longer they pursued their bulldozing
tactics the firmer they found the mass of
the delegates from all the country out

contention was carried on all day Thurs

The resolution which was finally rec
commended is the one which should have
been adopted in the outset. 1t was ad-
vised by many before the convention
met. 1t was probably better to adopt it
at the close of the conventions; still, the
mass of Republicans who see in the agi-
tation of this silver question a menace
to the growing confidence in business
would have preferred that the conven-
ton had passed a resolution which
would have shown the poverty of the
real support of the demand of the silver
mine owners. 1t is, at least, significant
that the very emphatic silverites who
demanded that there should be mo

length came to see that they were In an
insignificant minority in the convention;
consequently, they were more than sat-

their weakness. The failure of the sill
verites to get as much of an indorse-
ment as last year shows that their
cause is really not so strong in the
country at large as it was a year ago.

Major AlvOrd's suggestions for the
Inn r6AN mt of mi erSls


WASHINGTON, June 21.-various sugges-
throughout the country are made in the
year book OF the Agricultural Department.
Major H. Z. Alvord. who will soon become
chief of dairy division of the department,
has made a special report on the subject.
which appeals to dairymen to buy, breed
and feed only such cattle as are of marked
dairy type. the most important point in
selecting animals for the foundation of
herd or making purchases of additions is to
get perfectly healthy stock. Refusal to al
low strange animals on the farm Is the
best safeguard against the introduction Of
disease, but when new animals are bought
they should be strictly zqLarantined for at
least a month. The report also deprecates
feeding dairy herd as a herd and urges
that differences in kind of feed are fire.

urges careful attention to these points: The
relations of breed and feed in the economy

ter. in quantity and In quality, having the
item of flavor prominent; effects Of food

and the comparatively new subject OF bac-

health and cleanliness Of the cowhouse and
the preservation of products.
Secretary Morton to-day affixed his OIL
cial signature to the order for the adoption

which is the joint production of the Secre-
tary and General Mcbride.
Secretary Morton has decided to Issue an
order abolishing twenty-one of the Site
agents of the Agricultural Department and
providing for the reorganization of the
States in question into groups for the pr
pose Of collecting crop reports. While all
the details have not been perfected IL Is in

for each group or one for each State which

undecided in some cases as to what agents
