Or the Report that Gen. Lee Will Not be
Permitted to Visit American Prisoners
in Cuba.
NEW YORK, June ia Herald spe-
eial from Washington says:
State department officials are slow
to believe the report that Capt. Gen.
Weyler has any intention of prevent
ing Consul-General Lee from visiting
American prisoners in Cuba. Any ac-
ton by the captain general having this
in view would call forth strong pro-
test to the Spanish government.
The right of representatives of this
government to visit Americans in
prison has never been questioned, and
the administration would not permit
infring ment of it, especially in Cuba.
The frequent capture of Americans
and their Imprisonment there especial.
ly require the services of consular Of
fcers, and the necessity of the latter
talking with their countrymen.
The authorities say that if any Amer
leans are in confinement in Moro
castle, Or any other place, held by the
Spanish troops, Consul-General Lee
has the right to visit them, and Spain
will not be permitted to controvert it

Littlefield, chairman of the Maine
delegation, when asked yesterday for
his views of the situation, with refer
ence to Mr.. Manley's statement that
Mckinley would be nominated, ex-
pressed himself as very disagreeably
surprised at the position taken by Mr..
Manley. He thought it an extraordi-
nary thing for him to do, and said
that it placed the delegates that
were still loyal to Mr.. Reed is a most
uncomfortable and embarrassing po-
sition. The tendency of Mr.. Manley's
statement would be to discourage Mr..
Reeds friends and destroy any chance
he might have Tor success. He could
see no occasion or excuse for such a
statement by him at this time, unless
its purpose was to aid Mr.. Mckinley,
and Mr.. Manley was not understood to
be devoting his time of late to that
purpose.

That HIS Been Cut and Fitted to Insert
in the Platform.
ST. LOUIS. June 2.-Following is a
specimen financial plank that will be,
at the proper time, offered for insertion
in the republican platform:
1--WE believe that our money should
not be inferior to the money of the
most enlightened nations of the earth,
and we are unalterably opposed to
every scheme that threatens to debase
or depreciate our present monetary
standard. We favor the reasona BILE
use of silver as currency, but such use
should be to the extent only and under
such well-detined regulations that it's
parity with gold as currency can be
easily and efficiently maintained. AS
consistent bimetallists, we are OPP
posed to the independent free coinage
at ratio of IL to /, as q measure
fraught with certain disaster to all
commercial interests. destructive to
the interests of the wage-earner, and
in the absence of international agree
ment sure to lead to silver mono
metaIlism."

AN IMPORTANT MOVE.

Meeting of the Executive COMMITTEES OF
the National Association OF Manufac.
turers-The Membership and scope o.
Work of the Observation-Disclosures Fed
erai Aid and Studying Foreign Methods
CHICAGO, June 13.-The executive
committee of the National Association
OF Manufacturers met at the Audi
forum annex yesterday. There were
present: Theo C. Search, of Philadel.
phia, president; L. p. Wilson, Cincin.
natl, secretary; Warner Miller, New
York; c. c. Mitchell, Chattanooga;
John B. Howarth, Detroit; Charles E.
Lock, New York; Edward 81. Sanbora,
Philadelphia; Franklin Fish, South
Bend; Thomas r. Egan, Cincinnati;
John B. Kirk. Chicago, and Robert
Laldlow, treasurer.
In calling the meeting to order Pres
ident Search said:
The work of the last four months
has greatly broadened the member
ship, and nearly every manufacturing
industry of Importance now has rep
resentation in the association. Sus-
plcions OF political purposes have done
great injury to the association. Our
business motives and business meth
obs have impressed themselves on the
business men, and it is now pretty
generally understood that the associ-
ton is essentially and wholly bust
ness affair."
The president said he regarded the
bureau of publicity recently estab-
lished in Philadelphia under the direc-
ton of Edward II. Sanborn, one of the
most important acts of the executive
committee. Much good had also been
accomplished at Washington in con-
sular reforms. The senate committee
on commerce had in charge the plan
of the association to create a federal
department of commerce, and an in
huential committee of eastern men had
its promotion in their permanent keep
ing.
The president reported that the COM
mlttee had sent a committee of manu-
facturers to Mexico and Robert 2.
Porter who had recently returned from
tour of Japan in the association S
interests, would soon have his report
ready for publication.
The report of the Mexico committee
would also soon be ready. A repre-
sentative had been sent to Denmark to
study the commercial conditions there.
The esta blishment of commercial
agencies in foreign countries was rec
commended and the president an
hounced committee OF six to attend
to the matter.
July 80 prominent manufacturers
in nearly every department of trade
will leave in a body for South America.
The association has obtained conces-
sions FROM several of the republics
there for permanent warehousing and
exhibition of American manufactures.
The president reported valuable
work on behalf of reciprocity and the
restoration of commercial treaties,
which were in charge of special com'
mittse.

II John H. Gear Is Given q Show for
Second Place.
DIES MONIES, Ia, June l2.-A story is
told upon apparently trustworthy au-
thority that the Iowa delegation to
ST. Louis will follow the lead of Man
ley in admitting the nomination of
Mckinley ON the first ballot, and go
further than the Maine leaders and
not allow Allison's name to be pre-
sented to the convention. In this case
it is said efforts will be made to secure
the nomination for the vice-presidency
for John III. Gear. Ten days ago the
Iowa delegation had about concluded
to advise Allison to withdraw from the
race, but friends of Allison in Wash
ington objected. Now the story goes
that Allison realizes that Mckinley is
bound to win and desires to help the
repu blicans of Iowa out by permitting
them to climb into the band wagon
without delay. The withdrawal of
Allison is said to be assured if the
prospects for Gears nomination
brighten.

PLATFORM FIRST.

The Struggle viii be Made on the Plat
form Before Nominations.
ST. LOUIS, June 1.-THE struggle
~over the platform is to be made before
the nominee is selected.
1t will be the greatest contest of the
convention. 1t may end in a walkout
and the severance of party ties be-
tween the single standard advocates
sand the followers of the white metal.
But whatever the outcome, It is to be
zthe first thing decided.
Some of the overzealous adharents of
Maj. Mckinley would have it other
wise. His closest friends are willing
that the big fight should be disposed
of first.
1t is following precedent for the
platform to be made before the candi-
date is nominated. Hence it follows
THAT Mr.. Platt's declaration to fight
Mckinley to a standstill on the Gar
rcncy question before a roll call il
commenced causes no great surprise

EVIDENTLY "A GRAB.
The River and Harbor Iniquity Perpe
trated BIZ Congress.

The River and Harbor Iniquity Perpe-
trated BIZ Congress.
The promptness and almost unanim-
ity of the house of representatives in
PAGING the river and harbor bill over
the presidents veto compels the con-
clusion that there must be good
many of the members who expect to
..get some of the pork" Upon no other
ground can their action be explained.
There has been no pretense at any
time during the consideration of the
bill that it was of pressing or great
national Importance, though it has been
claimed with justice that certain of the
items are for Improvements in which
the entire country is interested. There
was no pretense of an answer in the
house to the grave suggestions of the
president upon which his veto was
based. Nobody cared, apparently, to
take the responsibility of answering
the president or of defending the bill.
The action of the house indicates very
clearly that it was dominated by pur-
pose to complete the grab as soon
as possible in defiance OF the principles
set forth by the president and in de-
fiance of the severe criticism which the
measure has called out from disinter-
ested friends of economy and good gov
eminent in every part of the country.
To take this action without any at
tempt to meet the case made by the
president is confession on the part
of the house that the points in the
veto are well taken; that the measure
is extravagant; that many of the OBJ
jects for which it appropriates public
money are palpably for the benefit of
limited localities or individual inter
SITS; and that the entire bill opens the
way to insidious and increasing abuses.
The Importance and weight of this con-
fession cannot be offset by any amount
of prating about the independence of
the legislative branch of the govern
ment and its responsibility to the peo-
pie for legislation. The charges which
the president makes and the truth of
which the house admits will stick;
and the congress against which they
are made will go down into history
with something of the same disgrace

THE UNION LEAGUE

OF tke Greatest Republican City of the
Country to the Republican Convention
Suggests Doctrines aud Principles that
Should be Embodied In the Platform
and Carried Out by the Party il Sue
cessful at the Polls.
PHILADELPHIA, June 12.-The Union
league, through a committee appointed
for the purpose, yesterday afternoon
adopted the following address:
To the National ConcentiOn Of the Repuo-
hcan Party:
The Union league of Philadelphia,
the representative republican organi-
cation of the greatest repu blican city
of the country. respectfully So bmlts
for your consideration that the pres
emit hindrances to the prosp Gritty of the
country are:
First-Uncertaintya as to the main
tenance of the existing gold standard
of value.
Second-That deficiency of govern
ment revenues which has compelled
an increase of the national debt in Or
der to defray the necessary expenses
of the administration.
Third-The departure of the Wilson
bill from that policy of protection
to American labor to which this coun-
try owes that unparalleled prosperity
which it enjoyed during the years pre-
vious to 1894.
Considerations of public interest and
political expediency dictate the adop-
ton of platform which shall de-
clare with absolute clearness that
the republican party adheres to the
policy of protection and reci-
procity; demands the enactment
Of laws which will give to the
government an adequate revenue;
opposes the free coinage of silver, and
insists upon the maintenance of the
existing gold standard of value. Moth
ing short of these explicit and posi-
tive declarations will assure the peo-
pie that the republican party, when
again intrusted with the responsible
ity of administration, will resist any
debasement of the standard of value;
will protect the wages of American Ia
Dor, and will restore national and in-
dividual prosperity.

For the Introduction of American Goods
In,o Venezuela.
WASHINGTON, June he. FL. Plu-
macher, United States consul at Mara
caibo, reports to the state department
that the government of Venezuela
has made contracts with VIM. Har-
per, representing the Philadelphia
museums and American Manufacture
ing association, for the establishment
of a permanent exhibition of
American goods in Caracas, with their
own building and other permanent ex-
hibitions i'll Valencia, Cuidad, Bolivar
and Maracaibo. The purpose of the
exhibition is to give the Venezuelans
an opportunity to formally inspect
and compare our goods with those
of the old world. Mr.. Plumacher
says that Germany, England and
France overrun South America
with commercial travelling agents,
mostly energetic young men, well
versed in the Spanish language and
the customs of South American people.
A commercial traveller for an Amer
lean house is seldom seen. Mr.. Plu-
macher thinks the permanent exhibit
tions will help American trade with
out the great expense attending send
ing agents to South America.

FAIR WARNING.
The People Are shown What to Expect
II Mckinley Wins.

Tho People Are shown What to Expect
III Mckinley Wins.
The animation from republican lead
ers in Washington that in the event Oh
McKinley's election congress viii be
Immediately called together for the
complete revision of the tariff may be
taken as a safe prophecy.
This course is the only one that can
be followed by Mckinley should he be
elected to the presidency. Any other
course would be inconsistent with his
whole career in politics and with all the
principles he has professed. If he failed
to follow this course he would be false
to himself and false to the men who
have always supported him and are now
backing his candidacy.
It is reasonable to say that if it were
understood that Mckinley would not
do the thing the republican leaders say
he will do, the plethoric purses which
have been opened to his managers for
campaign expenses would have been
closed as tight as wax. The tariff bar
ons are putting up their money on a
pledge. expressed or implied, that at the
earliest possible opportunity Mckinley
will do his part to reopen to them the
fat pastures out of which they were
driven by the democrats. No matter
what the people may think or the party
organs may say, there is a clear under
standing between Mckinley and his
political and financial hackers.
But the republican leaders in Wash
ington have done the country an excel
lent service by bringing out SO clearly
and emphatically the Mckinley pro-
gramme. It is a public warning to the
people of what the election of Mckinley
will mean. It assures the country that,
in the event of McKinley's success, an
other disturbing period of tariff agita-
ton and legislation and another reign
of McKinleyism, with its accompanying
loot and loss, will be forced upon the
business interests.-St. Louis Republic.
