Washington, Sept. 23.-Presdent
Cleveland has recently been credited
with an intention to Interfere In the Gu.
ban revolution. 1t can be stated upon
excellent authority that II the president
takes any action short Of recognizing
the Independence of Cuba he will do so
against the most vigorous protests of
the leaders of the revolutlonists. That
he Is ready to recognize the independ-
ence of the island is not probable. The
efforts of the Cubans have not pro.
crossed to such a stage as to Justify
President Cleveland in making such n
recommendation. He could, however,
suggest that Congress place the contend
ing forces in Cuba upon an equal foot
ing and declare neutral course, and 1t
Is this which the revolutiohlsts hope to
prevent.
Under International law the people Of
Cuba are Spanlards and must be treat
ed as such by the COVE nment of the
United States. They have at present
the same right to buy ANS and ammu-
milton as resident of Madrid, London
or Paris. A citizen of thu United States

nitlons of war and no war vessel could
lie In harbor along our coast for more
than forty-eight hours, and only to take
coal and water. The Cubins would
then be recognized as belligerents, and

National Banks Expected to Keep Up tbs

National Banks Expected to Kesp Up ths
Reserve.
New York, Sept. 21.-A special to the
World from Washington says: The easy
assurance and confidence Of treasury
officials that there will not BIO another
bond issue, and that the treasury gold
reserve will not again be seriously de.
pleted, is explained by prominent
treasury official, who says that, through
the good offices of the bond syndicate,
promises have been secured from bank.
ers In the principal cities Of the coun.
try that In case of necessity they can be
called upon to place $50, 600 600 Of gold
In the treasury in exchange for legal
tenders.
The reasons which have led to this ac
ton are varied, but all tend to the same
end. On the part of the administration
1t is recognized as good politics to avoid
another bond issue, and throw the re-
sponsibility and necessity for remedial
financial legislation upon the incoming
Congress. 1t was determined by the
President several months ago that there
would be no bond issue until after the
elections, us an issue previous thereto
would have the effect of strengthening
the hands of the free silver men and the
Populists.
The parties to the present voluntary
combination for the protection of the
treasury gold reserve are almost entire
ly within the list of banks that were al
lowed to participate in the distribution
of the last bond issue. 1t will be remem-
bered that none of the profits Of the
syndicate have yet been distributed, nor
can they be until the rate of exchange
has fallen below the gold importing
point So 1t becomes essential to the In
dividual interests OF the members Of the
syndicate to make the treasury situation
sure. In order that they may pocket the
profits. accruing under the enormously
profitable contract of last February.

SILVER DEMOCRATS.
MEET AT MEMPHIS TO CONFER:
Msking Plans for AotIvs work-OpInIons
on the Prssidont's Probable Courss Of
Action.


Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 23.-The meet
Ing of the Democratic silver leaders
called to put In practical shape the con-
illusions Of the conference held In WASH
lngton last month, Is In session here to-
day. There are present Senators Harris
and Jones of Arkansas, w. II. Hinricll-
sen, chairman of the Illinois State Dem
ocratic committee; Governor Stone Of
Missouri, Hon. Casey Young Of Mem
phis, and several others of less note.
Senator Turple of Indiana Is the prln-
clpal absentee, being detained at home.
The chief object of this meeting il to
appoint chairmen for the different states
who are to organize the silver forces
with view of capturing the state dele
cations to the National Democratic COLI
vention. The leaders here seem hopeful
of accomplishing this result. particularly
Mr.. Hinrichsen. He says the Democracy
OF the South and the doubtful states
Of the West are for free silver and will
vote for 1t In the next election. He
reiterated his former declarations as to
the policy and purposes of the admins
tratlon. Cleveland. he said, would
bring on war with Spain about Cuba,
and eventually with England. This
would give him an excuse to call for n
big Issue Of bonds and rivet the gold
standard on the country and would be-
sides clear the way for third term.
The silver leaders remained In con-
ference until late this afternoon, when
Twas announced that many of their
deliberations would not be made public,
So the, Executive committee they had
met to select had not been completed.
The names Of the representatives Of a
number OF states upon this committee
were gone over, and while In some cases
the selection Is final, In Others further
conference and correspondence will be
necessary. To give out the names Of
the members of the partially formed
committee, 1t was thought, would have
bad effect.
This afternoons conference concluded
the deliberations Of the leaders In this
city.
In an interview tonight Senator Jones
OF Arkansas said he thought there
would be no financial Legislation by the
coming Congress owing to the lack OF
accord between the president and Con-
gress. He had no doubt, however. that
President Cleveland would recommend
In his message to Congress $500, 600,
600 bond issue and the retirement OF the
greenbacks which would reduce the cir.
culating medium about 81 per capita.

New York, Sept. 2i.-The managers
OF the government bond syndicate have
taken action which is regarded as a
formal dissolution OF the syndicate, the

members OF the syndicate this morning
giving them the profits OF the operations
OF the syndicate. the members having
already received the principal. which
they had placed In the hands OF the
managers. The exact percentage OF
profit Is not AT present oblalnable, but

from the ranks Of veteran mondaines,
and in society we can daily witness tho
amazing successes of the ripe" CO.
quette. Nine. la Comtesse de Martel,
the witty novelist, better known under
the pen name Of Gyp. is responsible for
this rather unexpected turn of affairs
In great measure. The vogue of her
delightful novelties Is undeniable, and
80 Is the influence created by them on
all classes Of society and. considering
that the exquisite type of ParIsienne
which she so cleverly describes in every
one Of her books is invariably that of
woman between 80 and 40, one can
hardly be surprised that we who have.
unfortunately. lost the first bloom OF
youth should have found In her works
an incersse to mail lin our suprem-
acy on the social battlefield. I may add
and this without an atom Of sarcas-
tic intention-that Gyp is herself one
of these charming instances Of
"grande dame" who. although the
mother of grownup sons. is still, both
in appearance, in manner. and also In
thought and deed, thoroughly young
and "seduisante." Moreover, she is by
no means the only writer who adopts
as the principal character" Of her
books that Of a woman past 30. Henry
Greville, in I'm Vieux MENACE" de-
picts admirably the extreme fascination
which can be exercised by woman Of
36, even after twenty years Of the wear
and tear Of married life. All this is
very consoling TO number Of us. and I,
for one. do not see-perhaps for the very
same motive as Gyp does-why 1t is alb
solutely necessary to be an ingenue in
order to be pleasure to the eye and
mind OF the world in general.
Here In Paris the example of the
emancipated English maiden and that
of the pretty independent American
Miss" has for some time past been
feebly followed by some Of our youns
girls, much to the indignation of staid
old matrOns. and greatly to the delight
OF the masculine element; hence the i'm.
portation into our midst Of the bicycline
young lady, the tennis-playing young
lady. the amateur-actress young lady
and even the cricketing young lady
but either our "demoiselles" do moi
know yet how to make the best Of thi.
relaxation OF the cast iron rules which
have held them bound for so many cen.
turtles past. or then 1t is because 1t takes
more than few years to SO completely
change the Views and habits Of whole
population. for the fact remains that
the too modcrnized young lady" did
not take In France, and that even the
men soon became tired OF this fin-de
steele innovation. The healthful sports
remain for both young and old. but
the preference accorded to very youth
full unmarried women is. as l remarked

or proved at the trial that no better terms
had been made with any other state for
school books. In fact, the attorney-genernl
of Virginia stated that the American Book
company seemed TO throw open their whole
business TO US. and after full and complete
examination OF all the original contracts
made with the various states he expressed
himself as absolutely satisfied that the
prices were the same In all cases and that
no discrimination whatever had been made
against the state Of Virginia Furthermore
he mentioned that none OF the statements
OF the American Book company had been
accepted until every one OF them had been
absolutely verified by direct reference to
the governors OF some fifteen states, with
whom contracts had been made This
proved conclusivelythat the representation
OF the American Book company were cor
