REPUBLICAN SILVER PRESS,

The republican silver press every,
where takes the position that the policy
for those who are republicans and sill.
yer men to pursue is to elect Mckinley
and thorough bi-metallists to the sen.
ate and house of representatives, says
the Albuquerque Citizen. The Los
Angeles Erpress we'll says:
They cannot support Bryan, ever with
his silver platform, because while he
represents one idea they favor he also rep
resents a dozen others which they do not
favor. They feel that were he to be elected,
1t would bs to hand the government over
to the Altge!ds, the Tillmans, and their col
leagues, who would come near inaugural
ing a second French revolution in this
country had they the power. and they pre-
fer to take their chances of securing the
fin ncia legislation they desire with Nc
Kinley in the white house rather than to
invite all kinds of evils with Bry an.

A SWELL AFFAIR.


NEW YORK, N. r., July 22.-
A dispatch from London says: The
marriage of the Princess Maud Of
Wales, third daughter Of the Prince
and Princess OF Wales, to Prince Chris
tan of Denmark, was solemnized, at
noon, in the Chapel Royal of ST.
James palace. The glass.domed roof
Of the chapel is supported by a double
row If pillars, and these, as we'll as
the altar, were lavishly decorated with
cut flowers. The chapel is embellished
with paintings Of old masters. The
meagre seating capacity had been in
creased by the placing Of q number OF
chairs along the aisles and in the
rear. T
There were four carriage professions
for the short distance between Buck
ingham Palace and St. James; the
first comprising the royal family and
guests, the second the queen, the third
the bridegroom, and the fourth the
bride and bridesmaids; each with their
attendants, and each heralded upon
their arrival at the Chapel Royal by a
blast from the state trumpeters.
The ceremony was performed by the
Archbishop of Canterbury. The bride
was given away by her father while
the queen stood sponsor Both the
bride and groom made their responses
! n clear and distinct tones. The couple
presented a strong contrast, the groom
being over six feet in height, while the
bride is petite. The bridal costume
was of white satin, with long train,
trimmed with mousseline de sole,
orange blossoms, and silver and dia-
mond embroidery. Around her neck
the bride wore a magnificent circle of
b~rilliants, the gift Of the queen. Boom

and after the wedding breakfasts the
happy couple drove through the city in
an open carriage EN- route to Wolferton,
Norfolk, where the honeymoon will be
spent. They were given an enthusi-
astic welcome by the populace. At
the wedding the ladies wore full dress
without plumes or trains, while the
gentlemen appeared in levee dress,
and the knights Of the various orders
wore their collars.
After the ceremony, the bridal party
and guests partook Of luncheon in the
Buckingham palace, at the conclusion
of which the royal bridal party, headed
by the bride and bridegroom, lett the
palace in carriages for Marlborough
house. The bridal couple afterwards

The issues drawn between Mckinley
and Bryan, gold and silver, are Sec
tionalizing The country as nothing since
slavery has done. 1t is deeply to be
deplored. The east seems TO be setting
its teeth against the west and the south.
The men Of the west have as much
sense of right and wrong, justice and
injustice, honor and dishonor, loyalty
and disloyalty, as the men Of the east.
The assumption Of superior knowledge
and wisdom and ability to Judge what
s best for the country by eastern poll.
tIcians and papers, is utterly intolerable
and offensive.

Now No Doubt of the Success of the
Reunion at st, Paul.

Reunion at st, Paul.
CHICAGO, March 13.-There is now
no doubt Of the success of the National
Encampment of the Grand Army in
st. Paul the first week in September
from the standpoint of attendance. The
railroads which run to the Twin Cities
have surrendered to the survivors of
the Union army on the question of
return limit of thirty days on the tick
cts, which was the only bone of con-
tention between the railroads, the Cit
liens Committee of st. Paul and the
Grand Army executive.
This change came about at the meet
ing of the Western Passenger Associa-
ton at ST Louis this week The passen-
ger officials did not formally grant the
concession, which the Great Western
and Wisconsin Central roads had pre-
yiously given, deeming the establish
ment of such a precedent detrimental
to their future interests, but half
dozen of the lines in the Eastern COM
mittee of the association applied to
Chairman Caldwell for relief from
the adverse action of the association
in Chicago. With this wholesale deser-
ton from the stubborn stand taken by
the Western trunk lines the Chairman
was compelled not only to put the roads
applying for relief on the same footing
as the three who had taken independ-
ent action, but he gave all the MEM
bers of the association permission to
take independent action, which means
submission to the terms dictated by
the Grand Army and citizens of ST.

RAILROAD HEARINGS.
Receiver Mink of the Union Pacific
before the senate Committee.

Receiver Mink of the Union Pacific
Before the Senate Committee.
WASHINGTON, March 13.-Oliver
w. Mink, one of the receivers of the
Union Pacific Railroad, was before the
Senate Committee on Pacific Railroads
this morning. He had been connected
with the road, he said principally with
the accounts and finance department,
for twenty-seven years.
Questioned by Senator Wolcott, Mr.
Mink gave in detail the earnings and
expenses of the Union Pacific road and
~ various collateral branches since
going into the hands of receivers in
October, 1893. up to January 1, 1896
In that period the gross earnings We're
So, So, 602 and expenses S21 III ,233.
Senator Wolcott then turned the in
Guiry into the diversion of main line
earnings to the payment of collateral
trust obligations, and Mr.. Mink said
the interest on those bonds was paid
for the purpose of holding the system
together to preserve intact the road
from Kansas City to Denver, so it would
not end with the Union Pacific proper
in the middle of the great plains.
When the receivers were appointed
it was not thought the financial depres
sion would last over a year. While the
depression still continued, the earnings
of the road were increasing. The main
line, he said, would always earn the in
terest on its first mortgage bonds, if
the system were kept intact; the only
danger was that very large part of
the principal was due. The overdue in
terest on the main line mortgage would
soon be paid-that due on January 1st
probably within ninety days.

CUBAN SITUATION.
The President Giving Much Attention
to the Matter.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The
President is known to be giving much
attention to the situation in Cuba. SO
far as can be learned nothing definite
has yet been the outcome of his consid-
Grafton Rumors that an investigating
commission or an army officer has been
or will be sent to Cuba does not find
corroboration among well informed Of
ficials
Several army officers have applied for
leave of absence with permission to go
to Cuba, but the permission asked for
was refused While it is not believed
at the War Department that any of
the officers who made such application
desired to take part in the present hos
tilities, it was deemed best to keep them
away from Havana. 1t is obviously
impossible that any American army
officer should have visited Cuba under
present conditions without his pres
ence being promptly reported.
1t is also learned that permission to
go to Bermuda and other British forti-
fed ports near the United States coast
has been refused United States army
officers since Mr.. Cleveland's Vene-
znelan message was sent to Congress.
The reason for this is obvious Aneri-
can officers must be held in distrust as
persons seeking information about the
British fortifications, and the War De-
partment did not propose to take any
chances.

KENTUCKY sENAToRsHIP.
Time Growing Near When the Ballot
! ing VIII Cease.

FRANKFORT (ky.), March 13.-Oniy
three more ballots can be taken for
United States Senator, and as time
brings the final ballot nearer the anx-
iety of the party leaders becomes more
feverish. It betokens forthcoming
struggle as a last effort to elect, but
whether that will take place tomorrow,
Monday or Tuesday none but the lead
ers can say if even they know.
There are very few who believe that
a Senator can be elected, and these few
believe if any can it will be a Repub-
lican. AS for the Blackburn leaders,
they have given up hopes of electing
him, and are centering all their ener-
gles upon preventing Boyle's election,
and that is why they persist in hav-
ing SO many of their friends present in
the State House each day.
They will, if possible, prevent Wood
Dunlap from entering the House and
taking his seat, and Senators James and
Walton from entering the joint assem-
bly, and voting for United States Sena-
tor. It was fully expected that Dunlap
would take the oath this morning, and
as the hour of noon approached mem
bers were anXiously watching for his
appearance in the House, but he did not
come. Senators James and Walton
were in the House and sat out the joint
assembly, no effort being made by the
Democrats to have them removed.
Tonight Bradley stated most en-
phatically that he would not call an
extra session. The financial legislation
will be unfinished when the Legisla-
ture adjourns. The measures have
passed the House, but are being hung
up in the Senate. A Senator who is q
leader of the Democrats made it his
boast to-day that none of these meas
ures would ever pass in the Senate, the
object being to cripple the Republican
government. In view of the attitude of
the Democratic majority of the Senate
in this particular the Governor consid-
ers that it would be useless to call an
extra session.
