Jones, "for have no authority to
say that. did not say that as a gen.
eral rule the Southern Populists were
not credltable class. On the con-
trary said that most of them We're
patriotic men who were working for
the cause; that they were Popullsts
because they believed they could pro-
mote the cause best through new
party and that now they would sup
port Bryan because it was shown that
their patriotic objects could be attain
ed only through his election. This
is what l said of the Southern Popu-
lists as rule AS an exception. I

Populists merely for their personal ad-

Populists through selfish and not pa
trlotlc motives. l spoke of these as
the exceptional class who would not
support Bryan. 1 said that as a rule
the Popullsts in the South would fol-
low the patriotic course and support
Bryan; that there were some who from
selfish motives who would not do so,
but would prefer to have Mckinley
elected"

Special TO the Astorlan.
Chicago, August 4.--Nothing in years
has caused such furry in CONNER
cial circles as the collapse OF Moore
Bros. in the efforts to maintain CON
troll Of the Diamond Match Company
and the New York Biscuit Company.
The striking feature OF the failure il
the fact that the stock exchange for
the first time in its history adjourned
indefinitely today without doing a dol
lars worth Of business. 1t is estimated
that Moore Bros. lost between s4,0OO.-
900 and $4,000 in the Diamond Match
deal.
Many outstanding trades in DIa-
mond Match and New York Biscuit,
as expected, can be closed up by bro
kers outside OF the exchange before
trading is resumed on the floor.
Officers Of banks holding Diamond
Match loans were in no wise disturb
ed. They felt confident that every
thing would come out all right and
that nobody outside Of the Moores
would be seriously hurt I'VE are a
long way from being financially dead,
and will soon be on top again" said
]. H. Moore.
This affair was a hard shock hut
it is only temporary. There will be
no statement issued by US. 1 can
say that with the stock exchange clos
ed there viii be an immediate resort
to resources Of which we have knowI-
edge, and which are accessible, to
straighten matters out. The shock
came from the general stringency Of
the money market, but we have every
hope of soon getting things upon their
normal basis"
Thousands of shares Of their stock
were handled yesterday with fiuctua-
tions of Ii points 1t opened at 222,
declined to POI, advanced to 222h. and
closed at 222. Calls for 100000 mar
gins on Diamond Match. which could
not be raised. precipitated the failure.
That margins would not be forthcom-
ing was announced late in the after
noon.
The losers by the collapse OF the
Diamond Match and New York Biscuit
deals will be the Moore Bros, and
Spectators who are long on the mar
ket. The loss of the Moore Bros, it
is estimated. is between s4.OOO,OOO and
S5.0O0,0O0. They sacrificed all they
made in the deal while stocks were
being advanced. and what they had
before. 1t is supposed that in sup
porting the market the Moores were
obliged to take As per cent of the en-
tire capital stock of the Diamond
Match Company. They had no doubt
of their ability to carry the balance
through, but the public unloaded up
on them to an extent the Moores nev-
er dreamed Of
P. d. Armour said this afternoon
that he did not fear any panic as a
result of the Moores' failure. II do
not think it will affect other stock
he said. THE men who hold the
bulk of the stock are very wealthy
and will come out all right"
Charles Councilman. a prominent
broker says: THE deal is virtually
closed Diamond Match property is
all right. The company has had moth
mig to do with the speculation. 1t

SPAIN WAS BLUFFING
Fn the Legal Opinion Issued by the
Legation.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-In Official
circles today there was considerable
discussion concerning the pamphlet of
the Spanish legation, prepared by its
attorney, Caldron Carlisle. In the state
department there was no criticism as
to the publication of the document and
it was not regarded as one at which
offenSe- could be taken. While it is
acknowledged that the only prima facie
object of the document could be the
laying of the foundation for claims
against the United States, there was
also intimation that the pamphlet was
issued and given wide circulation for
the purpose of making the United States
more vigilant in preventing flibuster-
ing expeditions leaving the shores
OF the United States, as the Cubans
i'll this country are redoubling their
efforts to send munitions of war to the
insurgents.
1t was said today unofficially that
every claim that Spain could make
against the United States would be
met in such way as to destroy all
ground for damages. Attention was
called today to the note of Secretary of
State Bayard to Julian Valero who in
1885 was minister from Spain, which
called attention to the celebration of
the arrival in Cuba of filibustering ex-
reditionS and of expressions of sympa-
that the trail of offenders by jury was
serious argument against appealing
to the courts as the people would SYM
pathize with the offenders. To this Mr.
Bayard replied that the government
of the United States did not attempt
to exercise any power over the opinions
OF people within it's domains.
1t is upon this position of Mr.. Bay
ard that the state department and the
United States government has been act
ing. 1t has been and is ready to act
as soon as it has information of unlaw-
full acts. Mr.. Bayard placed the re-
sponsibility of locating filibusterers
and hostile demonstrations against
Spain upon the Spanish government
The entire note is pointed out as de-
fining the position of the United States
iii the present case and answering fully
the assumption of the counsel of the
Spanish legation in the pamphlet just
published.

KEY WEST PROTESTS
Against the Murder of Young GOWN
in Cuba

KEY WEST, Fla, Aug. 17.-An in
dlgnation meeting of several thousand
citizens of Key West was held at the
city hall this evening to protest against
the killing of Carlos Gown. a Florida
newspaper correspondent who recently
lost his life in Cuba. Resolutions of in
dignation because of the killing of
Gown by the Spaniards and protesting
against other alleged indignities
heaped upon Americans within the
last eighteen months were unanimous
ly adopted and copies of the resolu-
tions will be forwarded to Secretary
of State Olney. The following tele-
gram was ordered sent to Secretary
Olney. Immediately:
"A s-meeting of 5000 citizens
begs leave to call attention to the
butchery in Cuba of Charles Gown. an
American citizen plying the peaceful
vocation of a press correspondent for
the Equator Democrat A full ac-
count of the atrocity is recited in the
New York World and other papers of
Sunday. AS Americans we urge an
immediate investigation and vigorous
action, such as the atrocity demands.
American citizenship has been out

and civilization Mortified by this
crime"

the view of the functions of govern
ment and the relation of the state to

the we'll being of the people and the
very existence of the state, and that

grid on their armor and send forth to
the struggle the National Democratic
party, charged with the duty and
freighted with the hope that are as

them God speed And, whatever come

volume OF silver at parity with gold

burden from the people to the ''silver barons''
II IL be true that free coinage would bring
ifty-cent dollars, then the difference between
silver and gold would naturally have to be
borne by those who had the silver coined at
the mints and they would therefore maka
no profit over the present bullion price IF
on the other hand, the price Of bullion should
advance to the coin value under free coinage
then the people would at least be relieved
of about one hundred millions year in tax

parity with gold.
Then again, il it costs one hundred millions
