Notable Political Event.

CHICAGO, April l9--The silver question
is a burning one among Illinois Demo
Gratis, and nothing that has happened has
so confirmed this fact as the resigne-
ton of Judge Mcconnell as president of
the Iroqaois club of this city. He resigned
because he had been obliged to take a
position upon the currency question which
know is contrary to that held by ma.
jority of the club" The club is over
whelmingiy opposed to the free silver
proposition and a canvass among such
members Of it as could be found in the

indicate that MIR. Mcconnell Is not far
from being in n minority Of one SO far as

concerned.

THE RUSSIA OF SOME TIME AGO.
Harry De wintt Intimates That Remnant
Lectures Are Not Up to Date.

AfctuTeB Aic 4soS 70 Dotcs
NEW YORK, April l9.-Harry De Windt,
who is at the Waldorf hotel, is a we'll
known traveller and a correspondents of
the Pail Mall Gazette, of London. De
Winds's fad is Russia and the prisons of
Siberia: Speaking of Siberia he said:
"Of course you know that am diametri-
cally opposed to George kennan, the Rus
sian writer. Mr.. kennan is writing and
talking of the Siberia Of ten years ago.
What Mr.. kennan says of Siberia is today
all wrong. l wish to pay the tribute to
Mr.. kennan of saying that his lectures
and writings have done more to secure
good treatment for Russian convicts in
Siberia than the combined efforts of all
the political societies in Russia.
II have been everywhere in Russia and
Siberia that Mr.. kennan was l visited
all the spots where he wrote that there
were fragrant outrages. In several places
found the very people who had given
him his information. I found that in
many instances he was deceived by clever
criminals, who borrowed money from him
and then told him pathetic stories of un.
fortunate political entanglements that led
to their exile" De Windt says the pres.
ent car is too Democratic for his minis.
try, and is very liberal in his views.

ALLEGED PRESIDENTIAL VIEWS.
A Humorous Correspondent Tells Whs
Cleveland Thinks of Bloomers, Etc.

A Humorous Correspondent Tells What
Cleveland Thinks Of Bloomers, Etc.
WASHINGTON, April 49, - President
Cleveland is opposed to bloomefs. He
has given no official opinion on the sub
ject. And there is no good foundation
for saying that he is preparing such an
opinion. But his intimate associates say
that he opposes them And his intimate
associates never lie. The old-fashioned
frocks are, his associates say, good
enough for him. That is, they are good
enough for him when they are on women.
Frocks have nothing to do with his own
personal apparel. Neither have bloom
ers; though he might make a hit in either.
His opinion on women who ride bicycles
has not been obtained. His associates.
however, venture to assert that he does
not approve of thcm-that is, when they
arc on bicycles.
As class he likes women. But he Is
old-fashioned enough, his associates say,
to want them to keep to what he calls
their sphere. He does not want them at
work near him. That's why he caused
Miss Sanger, President Harrison's stem
ographer, to be transferred to the post
office department He let her remain in
the White House for a year and over and
he was perfectly satisfied with her work.
But being a woman she had to go. He
recognizes the fact that women, or at
least a great many Of them, must earn
their own living. But some people must
be hanged. He wants to see neither.
The president thinks women ought to
marry, and he would doubtless sign with
pleasure n bill passed by congress to i'm
pose a bachelor tax on unmarried men.
That would, he thinks. his associates say,
do away with a great many unmarried
women And with their disappearance
the woman suffrage movement would fall
into innocuous desuetude. He doesn't
think the movement for woman suffrage
SO harmful as the free silver crusade. But
he thinks neither is practical. He Is not
understood to hold that woman Is not
mans equal. But he Is represented as in.
clined strongly to the belief that it is or
dained that man shall win the bread and
woman bake il. And being q man Of des.
tiny himself, he frowns upon interference
with what is ordained.
