Mckinley anyway, In the
west the silver republicans
go to Bryan, Much of the

The Brazilian government has been
asked by the minister of the United
States if it is disposed to accord the
necessary facilities to delegates of the
principal chambers of commerce of the
to Brazil in order to study the question
tween Brazil and the United States. The
minister for foreign affairs for Brazil
answered this question today, saying that
the BraZilians would be most happy TO
see the American delegates among them,
and that the Brazilian government will
do all in its power to facilitate the ac
complishment of their mission. The Bra
lillian minister for foreign affairs has
notified the chamber of deputies that
Brazil, connected with nearly all the
South American republics by the tribu-
tary streams of the Amazon and La
Plata rivers, had with them many COM
mercial interests which can not be con-
trolled by an astronomical regime. If
these reasons, he added, are not sufficient
for the defense of the treaties of COM
merce and of navigation the direction
which their products have taken in the
different republics of the southern CONT
nent would suggest a commercial agree
ment which will secure to them the best
conditions of trade and consumption.
AS Brazil and the Argentine Republic
dominate the coasts of the South Allan
tic ocean, and Chile dominates those of
the south Pacific, an alliance of COM
mercial nature between these three re-
publics is proposed for the development
of maritime commerce of South America.

SENATOR HARRIS TALKS
OF the Purposes of the Silver Conference
at Chicago.

Washington, June Ex-senator Harris
left for Chicago today to be present at
the silver conference which will be held
in that city, beginning Tuesday next I'M
der the auspices of the Democratic BIZ
metallic organization. He is chairman
of this organization and has been since
it was instituted in this city a year ago.
Speaking of the purposes of the con-
ference. Senator Harris said it had been
called in order to afford the silver Dem
ocrats an opportunity to compare views
and look the ground over preparatory to
the national convention and then it
would probably continue daily until the
beginning of the convention. He also said
that the meeting would not be confined
to members of the bimetallic Organiza
ton, but that there would be represen-
tatives present from every state delega
ton friendly to silver.
Further than this the senator declined
to commit himself as to the purpose of
the meeting, but it is learned from an
authoritative source that the silver Dem
ocrats regard this conference as very
important affair.
The organization under whose auspices
the meeting is called has been laboring in
season and out for the promotion OF the
silver cause within the Democratic
ranks. They have had their headquart-
ers at Senator Harris house and from
that quarter have conducted Il CORES
pondCnce with chosen representatives in
all parts of the country, to whom have
been entrusted the organization of the
silver forces, not only in every state but
in every county in every state in the I'm
ion where it was considered possible to
effect the Judgment of silver idea.
The purpose of the convention
meeting is to solidify the silver organ-
cation as to render it thoroughly effec-
tive in the execution of the plans of the
silver leaders in the convention and also
to prevent the encroachment of the gold
forces. 1t has been the purpose to dis
cuss the platform to be adopted and also
to consider the availability of candidates.
There has been much correspondence
bearing upon these points. The plan has
been to keep candidates in the back.
ground until the conference could be
held with the view of having the con-
ference free to choose.
This has proved impracticable and it is
understood that the leaders in the move
ment fear that they will be unable to
control in this matter as they had at one
time hoped they might do. They still
hope, however, to be practically able to
take the platform before the convention
meets,

"THE SILVER LINING"
The Desperate Silverites Have Resorted
to the Drama to Further Their Cause.

Chicago. June 2S.-The whirl of poll
tics accompanying the national Demo
cratic convention was inaugurated to-
night in n novel manner.
"The Silver Lining" play based
upon the money issue, was put upon the
boards at the Grand opera house to run
until after the convention is over. Opin-
ion is divided as to whether or not the
production of the play here at this time
has not more or less of political mo-
tive. The trend of the play is strongly
pro silver and circulars were distributed
showing endorsement of the piece by
well known silver statesmen and gov
ernors of dozen different states, in
cluded in the list being Senator Harris
and w. ii. Harvey COIN, Governor
Altgeld and Eugene V. Debs. The
scenes of the play are laid in the wheat
producing sections of Pike county, ILL.,,
and the piece is a strong presentation of
the different phases of the money ques-
ton from a silver standpoint. The play
was well received and the author, a
well known newspaper man, Fitzgerald
Murphy of Boston was called before the
curtain. He delivered spirited address
and was given a hearty round of APP
plause.

AS was generally expected, the senate

have allowed the Liberal opposition to
pander to the popular irritation against
the United States by speeches bitterly
accusing the conservative government. of
having submitted many Illuminating
questions eXacted by the American gov
ernment since the beginning of the Gu
ban revolution. In vain did the min
lister of foreign affairs, the Duke de Te-
tuan. deprecate such retrospective re-
ordinations as were calculated to harm
the interests of Spain and her relations
with America; vainly did the leading Ia
borers and former ministers of the eX-

VIEWED FROM ENGLAND.

London, June 2S.-The Times says in
an editorial this morning on American
politics and the outlook in the United
States on the currency question:
We are not sure the party platforms
are so important, because when the pres
ident is elected he becomes free agent
in safer and stronger position than
an English premier. Therefore it is not
certain that Mr. Mckinley will oppose
the popular will if congress should send
him a bill for free silver. We trust
therefore, for the credit of the United
States, that Mr.. Whitney's gold cam
paign will succeed, or the triumph of the
sivcrites at Chicago will not be followed
by Il triumph at the final poll.

DIVIDED AS TO CUBAN POLICY.
New York, June PA special to the
Herald from Havana says:
The daily newspapers give prominence
to cable dispatches from Madrid which
say that several conferences between
political leaders, have been held since
Guzman reached Spain. 1t is stated
that Guzman, who was at first opposed
to autonomy, at last agreed to the gov
ernment's plan, pledging the Conserva-
tive Spanish party here to cooperate and
carry the new measures into effect on
conditions that it be allowed to continue
in control of the bulk of the national
patronage in the island.
El Paiz, home rule organ, in an eGi-

with autonomist leaders will in no wise
satisfy the Cuban people.

reform should be undertaken until the

too cowardly to maintain financial sys-
