Gold Exports Not Corralled.

LONDON, Aug. l5.-The finan-
cial article in the Standard says:
The gold syndicate assumes bold
face, but that alone will not pre-
vent gold exports from America,
and the autumn exports Of pro-
duce do not promise to be any
thing like so heavy as to allow the
syndicate to liquidate its debts
here and at the same time to turn
the gold current inwards. There
fore, the American railroad market
Is stiffened by apprehension.

Independent Catholics Church.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 15.-The
members of st. Alberts Roman
Catholic church have formally de-
cided to secede and to establish an
independent church. They will
hire their own priest and run their
own church without acknowledge
ing the bishops authority over
them. The decision was precipitat-

Corrigan to remove priest to
whom they objected. The new
church will be on somewhat the
same lines as the independent
Catholic church established by
members of a Roman Catholic
church in Cleveland last year.

A LONDON HURRAH
Prediction That Protection is a Dead
Issue In the United States,

LONDON, Aug. 15.-Commenting
upon its New York dispatches
which details yesterdays doings Of
the Democratic silver conference
at Washington and the impulse of
returning prosperity throughout
the United States, the Daily News
in an editorial says: The dispatch
es would furnish good text for
the speech which Lord Farrer Is
announced to deliver at next Sat-
urday's meeting Of the Golden
club. Nobody ever believed that
the wage earning classes of the
great American cities would absn-
don all devotion to the solid dollar.
The tendency to turn against pro-
lection is the more interesting be-
cause less generally expected.
Six months ago the election of
another protectionistp president was
confidently counted upon. Our cor
respondent informs us that the
prospect is now changing. An
enormous increase OF trade follow
ed the passage of the Wilson bill
and proved, in a rough and ready
way, most effectively to the cleo
tors, that Mckinley did not hold
the only key to the industrial para
disc. 1t is not clear that there Is
any man OF sufficient power and
popularity to win support from all
sections Of the Democrats, but the
feeling against increasing the tariff
will probably induce the Republic
cans to drop Mckinley.

QUARANTINE, l.. l., Aug. d.
The Ward line steamer, Seneca,
from Mexican and Cuban ports,
has arrived at Quarantine. One Of
the Havana passengers, in speak
ing of affairs at that place, says
that on Aug. Z, the day before the
Seneca sailed, Capt. Gen. Martinez
Campos called together all Of the
volunteer organizations and de-
manded the transfer to the regular
army of 100 men from each camp.
General indignation prevails among
these organizations, but the order
will be enforced.
"The instruction lis more wide
spread than we Of Havana are al
lowed to believe, and Campos will
not last long. He was caught in a
bad trap at Bayamo, and but for
the impulsive action of the Cuban
general, Maceo, who precipitated
his attack Gen. Campos, would
certainly have been captured. The
insurgents win in every fight. In
the past four months the Spanish
forces have lost by disease, drunk
enness and killed in battle fully
$1,000. No reports are allowed to
be circulated concerning their
losses in battle, but the authorities
admit that in this period 10000
have died from disease or excessive
indulgence in food or drink. Thir-
ty thousand insurgents are known
to be in the field, overrunning the
country and making their camps
in the mountain Businesses, from
whence they sally to strike a blow
and return to camp, depending on
their rapid movements to discon-
cert the enemy. They have been
asked by sympathizers Of the revo-
luton, of whom there are about
5000 in the city and suburbs of
Havana, why they do not capture
and occupy Santiago or some other
important city. This they claim
that they could do, but their plans
as to the future would not 80 per-
nit. That is to say, large ma
jority Of the inhabitants OF Cuba
are Negroes, and independence
would meanNegro government. If
independence could be secured
with the establishment OF pro-
tectorate under the United States
or some other strong government,
then the question would soon be
settled. Failing in this, the gem
eral desire is to secure home rule
from the mother country. The cap
ture OF an important sea coast
town would be followed by the re-
cognition of their rights as bellig-
erents, but until some definite plan
can be settled the guerrilla war
fare will be continued. A large
majority of the people are hoping
for concession from Spain in pre-
ference to independence, as the
feasibility of a republic without
Negro domination would be diff
cult to obtain.

A Strong and Sensible State Plat

BALTIMORE, Nd, Aug. l5.-The
platform to be adopted by the Re-
publican State convention which
meets here today, in so far as it was
known late last night, will be de-
voted chiefly to state matters. 1t
will however, declare the loyalty of
the party of Maryland to the Ma
tional party and will take an ad-
vanced position in favor Of sound
money. In state matters it will
demand q re-assessmentt to be made
in strict accordance with the pro-
visions of the state constitution ;
will declare for q general reform in
the election laws in favor Of home
rule for the counties In election
matters; for annual registration in
Baltimore city, and probably quad
rennial registration with annual
revisions in the counties. The plat
form will favor the removal of the
vexatious requirements which now
make it so difficult for independent
nominees to obtain places upon
the official ballots. 1t will pledge
the party to the passage OF civil
service law, similar to that enacted
by the Legislature and under which
the various cities and counties in
the state may by popular vote put
the merit system into operation
within them. Free school books
in the public schools will be advo-
Gated, and also a constitutional
amendment placing effective limi-
tatlons upon the capacity OF the
counties and cities to incur in
debtedness.
