dedication of the Chickagague battle
field although four OF his fellow mcnl-
bers of the Cabinet did. He still
aintains an oyster-like silence con-
corning government finances, and de-
cline positively to say word when
bluntly asked to say yes or no as to
whether there had been any prepera-
tions for another bond issue. The
same policy of silence prevails among
those of his subordinatcs who would
be likely to know anything about the
issue of bonds, the intimation having
been made p city strong to them
that talking would be considered
sufficient cause for removal. A dem
ocrat not connected with the Treas
ury department., but who somehow
manages probably through his inti-
macy with Logan Carlisle-to know
In advance many of Secretary Car
isles intentions said to q personal
friend: "BOth Cleveland and Carlisle
believe that another issue Of bonds
is inevitable, and all necessary prep
arations therefor have been made,
but the bonds will not be issued un-
til they consider it absolutely neces-
sary, and nothing short OF an actual
panic will cause their issue until af-
ter the fall elections, on account Of
the bad effect it would be certain to
have in the few states in which the
democrats have any prospect of win
ming. 1t Is the desire OF Mr.. Cleve-
land to postpone the bond issue until
after Congress meets, so that he can
throw the blame on Congress for not
coming to the relief of the Treasury
in some other way in answer to the
appeal he proposes to make in his an
nual message"
Mr.. william Webster, Toledo law
yer and one Of the most enthusiastic
Mckinley men in Ohio, is DOW in
Washington. He says: mckinley is
going to be nominated and elected
President just as certain as the re-
publicans carry Ohio this year, and
Of that there isn't the slightest doubt

can't guess political results even lit
tie bit. That means, of course,
Foraker for the Senate and MCKin-
ley for the White House. The
whole trend OF political opinion, as ]
have it sized up, is towards restor-
alton Of the strong American policy
so ably championed by William Nc
Kinley We are bound to do it in
sci; defence"
Ex-senator Sanders, Of Mont, says
the only politics In his state is the
free coinage of silver, to which both
parties are committed. "But, added
Mr.. Sanders, there is cohesive force
among the republicans, and though
they would much prefer the nomina-
ton of the national ticket that would
be favorable to silver, they will fall
into line and support the party nom.
, inees. Cameron and Teller would be
hailed with delight AS for the dem.
ocrats, they are so badly split-uI
and demoralized that very few OF
them can be found outside Of the
2 Federal Office holders. The Others
who used to be proud to be known as
, democrat do nothing but dam the
administration and charge upon the
President all evils that afflict the
country. They swear by all that is
sacred that they will never cast an
other vote for any man who does not
come out absolutely in favor Of free
coinage"
Secretary Olney is said to be giving
considerable attention to the Waller
case, and to have become ashamed OF
the Indifference with which the Sen.
ate department treated the case al
first. One of the things which CON
vinced Mr.. Olney that Waller had q
good right to complain of his treat
ment was a statement made at hi.
request by Mr.. Il. G. Woodford, an
American citizen who was in NADIA
gascar at the time Of the Waller
court-martial, and who Is CONVEX
SAINT with all the facts and at the

Mr.. Woodford is now in London, bu,
he will sail for the United States Ii
