New York. May 2.-The World publish
es the annexed statement:
Canton, O., May 1.-The following
written question was laid before GOV.
Mckinley this morning and carefully
considered by him:
The World was the first newspaper
to predict your nomination by the Re-
publican national convention, and 1t wish
es to be the first newspaper to remove the
doubts which honestly exist rs to your
financial opinions-doubts based upon
favor of silver and your absolute re-
tioenoe on this vital question of the year.
Are you willing to guarantee, as far as
a candidate can, that II you are elected
the present monetary standard OF the
United States shall be permanently
maintained?"
This question lay before Gov. McKin-
Icy in his study several hours and was
apparently carefully considered. When
the World correspondent returned this
afternoon for reply the coming Repub-
ioan candidate for President received
him cordially.
GIVE my compliments to the World"
said Gov. Mckinley, "but have Moth
ing to say.''
4 The World correspondent suggested that
an answer of single word would suf-
fee.
Mckinley smiled amiably, waved his
hand and shook his head.

The Competitors Cargo.
IN BEHALF OF JACK TAR.
Bill Reported to the Senate Saturday by
Mr.. Frye.

Washington, May 2. = In the Senate to-
day, Mr.. Frye submitted report on a
bill which has for it's purpose the amel-
ioration Of the condition Of American
merchant seamen and is designed for a
substitute for 81 bills pending in Con-
gress. The report says that while many
of the complaints Of the seamen are ex
aggerated, still there Is sufficient grounds
to warrant an improvement in the laws
and bring them into conformity to the
progressive legislation of other maritime
nations. The bill changes the exiAting
law by establishing the principle that the
infiiction of a penalty of imprisonment
shall be wholly in the discretion Of the
courts and that federal judges and not
the statutes Rhall determine the necessity
for SO severe a penalty while 1t makes
smaller fines and forfeitures in most
cases obligatory. The bill also makes
much more liberal provision than the
present law for the return OF American
seamen from foreign ports. 1t also
provides for the prompt payment OF
wages and for more prompt trial of cases
in which there Is dispute as to wages.
1t also makes decided Improvement in
the lninimumsscale Of provisions in use
on American vessels and better condition
of seamen's quarters aboard ship. The
report says the bill has the support of
ship owners and in many respects goes
further than the suggestion of the sea-
mems organizations.

May Movement in SILK.

Of silks during April, and the demand
for the good is still running into May
which is yet weakling. A perfect silk
feast has been prepared for today and
the ladies when they read Mr.. Libby's
advertisement In this issue, will cram his
store from one end to the other of the
southerly side. And such beautiful silks
as he will offer and at such sensation
prices. Why, if such bargains were off,
cred in mems goods there would be such
a rush it would almost be termed a
riot.
just look for moment at the varie-
ties. Brooade tatfeta stripes, printed
warp brocade silks, plain China silks and
Dresden patterns, printed China silks,
the famous China silks. pure silk worm
silks, hair line and psnoil stripe change
able silks, evening rocadestafetas, Eblack
Indian brocades, surahs, swivel silks, and
Libby's own Cashmere Peerless % Now
tho prices of these silks will range from
% cents to 81. 10 yard, and we miss our
guess il one of the largest sales on record
in Portland is not acknowledged by Mr..
Libby tonight. Go early and get chance.

A STORMY SERVICE.
The Salvation Army Meeting Badly Inter-
?. rupted,

The Salvation Army service last eve-
ming was rather badly interrupted.
A number of men went in with the EVIL
dent design to make trouble. They had
all been drinking, and when the soldiers
objected to their running the meeting,
they wanted to fight
They were asked to leave, but de-
clined to do SO; they were ordered to leave
and still remained; then they were put
out.
No special pains was taken to make
the manner Of their exit pleasant to
them. "They went out flying" was
the way spectator expressed It, but
his was hardly literally correct state.
ment. They took several stairs at once,
and were then punched together on the
floor. The last flight might have been
taken somewhat more slowly had they
not felt an impelling desire to get out.
Tine door was reached, but behind were
members at once of the church militant
and church triumphant. When they
tried to make more trouble Patrolman
Merrill took hand, ..and scattered them.
One man who was with the soldiers,
and In whose safety they took evident in
terest, pitched into Mr. Merrill and was
ordered toakeep quiet.a This he wouldn't
do, and but for the fact gthat the sold
iers took him into the barracks, he would
have been arrested. The soldiers brought
their sadly interrupted meeting Ito
close and then three of them escorted
their somewhat intoxicated champion
home. The roughs twill probably not
try to run another army meeting in a
hurry, having discovered that when they
are ordered to leave they must obey. -

mission of women. The committee will
make majority and minority reports on
