WHITNEY SAYS 1T is A CRAZE
The Silver Question lie Relieves VIII
Assume Great Proportions.

The Silver Question lie Relieves VIII
Assume Great Proportions.
Boston, Mass, June 10-Ex-Secretary
of the Navy William c. Whitney was
interviewed at the home of his mother
in Brookline last night. He said:
Il am not and will not be a presiden-
tial candidate. If the silver men should
carry the next democratic convention
1t will split the party. The democrats
must stand for sound money. There
are many sound-money men in the west
and south, and the Memphis conven-
ton, l think, helped the cause along.
Carlisle's speech was an excellent one
and deserves to be widely read 1t I'M
doubtedly had influence in the south
1 think the people will eventually treat
this question as they did the greenback
question. They want sound money now
just as much as they did then"
Whitney said he felt, however, that
the free-silver question was liable to
assume the same proportions, or even
greater ones, than did the greenback
question. He intimated that an organ
lied educational movement was neces-
sary to counterfeit the spread of the
"free-silver craze"
81 do not think the republicans will
care to open the tariff question again, 3"
he said. ''They see they could gain
nothing by 1t. The money question will
dominate everything in the next cam
paign, unless there is a radical change
in sentiment within the next year."

Eugene Debs and Associates Begin Their
Terms Today.
Chicago, June 10.-Eugene V. Debs
and other officers of the American
Railway Union will be sent to Wood
stock jail tomorrow. A certified order
of the supreme court was received here
today. The men under sentence are: e.
V. Debs, G. w. Howard, S. Kelliher,
L. w. Rogers, James Hogan, w. e.
Burns, r. M. Goodwin and Martin Ell
lott. There is a question as to the
time the men will serve. The original
sentence was six months for Debs. and
three months for his associates in two
different contempt cases, the sentence
being made concurrent by the court.

fences made cumulative, in order to

thought probable that an effort will be
made to have Judge Wood reinstate the

vor of the demurrer of Mrs. Stanford
