Interview With Secretary OF the In
terror Hoke Smith.
MACON (Ga.), May 1.-Secretary Hoke
Smith of the Interior Department was in
terviewed here last night on the financial
question, and defined the differences OF
opinion on the currency question exist
ing in the country at present. He thought
that in the next twelve months q thor
ough discussion of the money question
would be presented all over the country.
This discussion would be limited, he
thought, to the proposition for the un-
limited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16
to l.
the Secretary divided the people into
three classes-gold monornetallists, sill
YER monometalIists and bimetallists.
He did not think the gold monometal-
lists were strong enough to become fac
tor in the campaign, but that the issue
would be for and against silver mono
metallism. He thought the free and un-
| limited coinage OF silver at the present
ratio by this country alone would mean
nothing more or less than silver mono

IRELAND's CAUSE.

Movement on Foot to Hold All Irish.
American Convention.
NEW YoRK, May 2.-The following
will be published here tomorrow:
"a movement has been set on foot TO
hold convention Of Irish Americans in
one of the large cities at an early date. A
number of gentlemen who have been
prominent III the Irish cause. and who
are of the various schools OF political
thought, have come to the conclusion
that the time has come for Irish-Ameri-
cans to inangurate q new and bolder pol
icy in the interest OF Irish independence.
The agitation known as the Parnell or
parliamentary movement, so far as Irish
nationality Is concerned, is dead. The
home rule question has been ruled out Of
practical British politics by the British
people.
1.-The new movement abideS by the de-
cision, as far as the further prosecution Of
parliamentary agitation is concerned,
but determines to keep the flag OF Irish
| independence still flying. and will devote
itself to forcing the Irish question upon
the attention Of the world in such a man
ner as will inevitably compel q settle
ment more satisfactory TO Ireland than
| any heretofore offered by any British
! party. Mr.. Gladstone said in moving his
home rule bill: If. therefore, the resist
| ance to this measure were to become Bit
| ter, obstinate and prolonged. the question
of repeal might finally become an obsti-
nate one.'
"The promoters of the new movement
have been driven to adopt the alternative
suggested by Mr.. Gladstone, and will try
| to make the demands of Ireland SUP
ject tor international consideration. Sew
eral hundred Irish-Anericans have
pledged their sympathies and conpensa-
ton, and the names are representative of
all sections of the United States. Men
| from the most distant points. including
such cities as San Francisco. Seattle, Ia
coma and Los Angeles and various CEN
ters in Montana and Colorado have sig
nifed their attention of being present
at the meeting. All are unanimous that
the proposed movement is not only
| opporiune. but positive necessity for
the Irish cause"

NEW GUNBOATS.

The Board of Naval Bureau Chiefs Dis
agree on Proposed Designs.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-For the first
time in it's history the Board of Naval
Bureau chiefs have come to an absolute
disagreement, and have been obliged to
SO report to Secretary Herbert, leaving
him to determine which side is right.
The disagreement grows out of the de-
signs of the six new gunboats, for which
plans were prepared by the Construc-
ton Bureau. Tilsve are two reports on
the subject, one signed by four members
of the board, totally disappearing OF the
plans, and one signed by two members,
vigorously upholding tho report.
The four members objected that the
boats proposed will draw fourteen feet OF
water, and so would not meet the re-
quirements of the Act Of Congress-.
which describes them as light-draugnt
gunboats. They also hold that the fitting
of the vessels with complete full sail
power is q mistake, as the experience OF
the department with such vessels as the
Adams shows that no steamer fitted with
sails can boat against the wind. and
therefore the sails will be almost useless
in average conditions.
On the other hand. the supporters OF the
plans undertake to demonstrate that the
vessels will be efficient and very much
more economical than the boats without
sails, arguing that the criticism is founded
on vessels not given full sail power, and
giving figures to support their assertions.

SANTA CATALINA BAND.

Two Fine Concerts Given Mt the Plaza
Yesterday.
The Santa Catalina Marine Band gave
concert in the Plaza yesterday after
noon and proved themselves to be pos
sessed Of high degree Of artistic excel
lence and musical talent.
That the auditors appreciated the af-
ternoon performance was evidenced by
the fact that nearly 5000 people attended
the concert in the evening, and, i'll spite
of the GOODNESS Of the air, the fine music
rendered held the audience to the last.
There was large mum ber Of soloists In
the band, but only three of them dis
played their talent in that line, and they
all received most liberal applause. Levy's
"Grand Russian Fantasie," for cornet,
was given by II. G. Brown in admirable
style, his execution, double tonguing
and quality of tone eliciting most favora-
BILE comment from musicians present.
Sacramento has never listened to the
equal Of +. j. Nutting as ombone solo
ist. His range of tone Is phenomenal,
and when he went down to double + last
night the people broke loose i'll enthus-
astic applause. His style is finished, his
tones pure and accurate, and his playing
a treat not easily forgotten by those who
heard II. r. V. Goodman gave xylO-
phone solo that showed him q master of
his instrument. The descriptive pieces
were also finely rendered by the band.
This afternoon they will give mixed
programme at 2 o'clock, and also one at 8

A Male Malaprop.


Twenty years ago one of the sights"

GIDEON GAsKINs' DEATHS.

Old Gideon Gaskins used to die
With uneXampled frequency;
Indeed, the joys Of death to him
Possessed unusual piQuancy.
An upright, downright man was he,
OF rule and regulation;
And barring his repeated deaths,
He had no dissipation.
He lived a life of ordered peace,
OF sweetness, truth and charity;
But through his long aud honored life
He died with regularity.
And every time that Gideon died
He wished the sad reality
To be observed and recognized
With decent-like tormality.
And SO his heirs about his bed
Were ranged in due position
To hear at each repeated death
His dying admonitiOn.
They shed proper flood of tears,
Their sObs were uncomfortable,
And every time that Gideon died
Their grief was unconsolable.
And every time that Gideon died
he gave an eXhOrtation
To which he'd given lifelong thought
And years OF preparation;
A speech that sagged with good advice
Which he had learned memOriter,
Which made a fame for Gideon
AS great dying orator.
And when he made this dying speech
TO friend and heir and lover,
The dying Gideon would begin
10 speedily recover.
And then the iron grasp of death,
That's usually so rigorous,
Would quietly let go its grip
And leave him strong and vigorous.
But then within month or two
The summons would 90 flying
To all of Gideon's heirs to come
For he was once more dying.
And when the weeping heirs once more
About his bed were seated,
Then would his time-worn dying speech
Be once again repeated.
And so he died year after year,
Till all his heirs were buried;
Till they III Charon's fatal boat
Fad DER the stream been ferried.
For all his heirs they died one death,
And lived . life OF breyity;
But he who died so frequently
Attained Il great Ion ,evity.
Ye who would taste u long, sweet life
IN all its lengthy piquancy,
When you are young begin to die
And keep it up with frequency.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
rom Our Regular Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20, 1895.
For more than century it has
been the proud boast of Americans
that in all questions affecting the
foreign relations of the United
States domestic partisanship was
dropped and all men became simp-
ly Americans; ready to fight, if
need be, for the maintenance of
American principles. Several
things have happened within the
last three years to cause foreign
ers to believe that boast with
out actual foundation, but the
foreigners were deceived. The
administration went contrary to
public sentiment in certain phases
of its foreign policy, and public
opinion condemned, instead of
sustaining it. But today the
boast holds good, and 10000, 900
fighting men, regardless of their
