MUST STAY OUT.
Gold Democrats Want TO Come Back
Into the Fold But viii Refuse to
Follow Bryan.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 12.-Samuel
o. Pickens, chairman of the state
committee of the gold Democrats,
issued a statement yesterday with
reference to the probability of a.
compromise between the two fac
tions of the Democratic party in
this state. He says in part:
while the sound money Demo-
Gratis voted for Mckinley, they are
Democrats still, and believed in the
true principles of the party; believe
in them so profoundly that they
cannot be coerced by epithets or
seduced by the pretense of regu-
larity into accepting Populism for
Democracy, even though such ac-
ceptance would gain the offices.
Il can say this much, however,
with positiveness, that if the ad-
vices of Bryan and Jones to keep
up the free silver propaganda is to
be followed by the Bryan Demo-
Gratis, there will be no compromise.
Gold Democrats will not compro-
mise principles. Having made this
fight for principles sake, in the
face and without fear of epithet,
and abuse and vilification and
threatened party ostracism, they
will not surrender to this defeated
sham Democracy"

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Prospects That General Master
Workman Sovereign VIII BE Re-
elected.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Nov. 12-The
report of. the executive committee of
the knights of Labor has been made
public.
1t recalls the part taken by the
Knights of Labor in the Populist and
! Democratic national conventions in an
attempt to unite the two parties for
the principles urged by the knights,
and rejoices at the prominence given
the issues there enumerated.
After the reading of the minutes by
! Secretary Hayes, a resolution was Of
/ fered that the election of officers be
! taken up at o'clock today but il was
! defeated. 1t is understood that General
Master Workman Sovereign will be re-
elected. A resolution was adopted in
Structing the secretary to telegraph
fraternal greetings to the session of the
supreme council of the Farmers ALI
ance, in progress at indianapolis.
The committee reported favorably
upon the adoption of the following
tuition, proposed by district assembly
rs of Brooklyn, composed of street and
elevated railroad men:
Provincial, state national, trade and
district assemblies are sovereign in
their own jurisdiction, under the gen
eral laws of the orders, and are en-
powered to decide all disputes arising
within their jurisdiction, subject to ap-
peal to the general assembly,
The amendment is proposed so as to
give the district assemblies a larger
measure of home rule power. Under
the section as it now stands, appeals
are made TO the general executive
board
Discussion Of the proposed amend
ment occupied the morning session, but
no action was taken. There is much
sentiment in favor of the amendmeI$
but it is thought that much time will
be taken up in discussing it.
The afternoon session began early
and lasted until 4 o'clock The time
was taken up with the discussion of
resolutions which were presented to
the assembly by the law commission.
None of them were passed. The report
of the general worthy foreman, NJ. +
Bishop, was submitted
Among the papers presented to the
distribution committee last night was
a resolution endorsing a graduated in
come tax, which would apply to all in
comes and be aided with a per cent
that should increase as the amount of
the income increased. The committee
on laws took the question up, and there
was hot discussion, as it was felt
that it was radical step for the or
ganization to take, but it was finally
endorsed and presented to the general
assembly this morning and adopted.
The Knights will do all in their power
to have such a tax enacted by con-
gress, and will use their influence to
have the tax incorporated in the plat
form OF one of the great political
parties.

Great Review in Heaven.

BERLIN, Nov 12-The emperor per-
formed the ceremony of swearing in the

noon in the presence of the empress,
Grand Duke Vladimir of Russia, who
wore the uniform of the Hussar regiment;
the Sianlese field marshal and the i'm

of the palace facing the field altar, be-
fore which the ceremony took place.
The weather was fine, and the scene
was brilliant.
After the administration of the oath,
the emperor who was on horseback. ad-
dressed the recruits, saying: You have
now sworn an allegiance, implying obed-
fence and fidelity until death. This oath
applies to me, your chief and your war
lord, and IS sacred as it is sworn to
God upon the cruciflx. My house is a
Christian home, and is nothing without
ing without faith. With firm belief in
Christ you have a special advantage
As long as you wear the king coat, re-
member that he who insults the king in
suits your uniform as well as your chief.
Therefore, I trust that you will ener-
getically defend the king ana crown, eS-
pecialiy in these times when disobedience
and discomfort are rampant and dis
remember your oath. 1t is easy for you
to do your duty while the eye Of your

exposed to the temptation of seducers.
Yet, remembering your VOWS, if you do
your duty fully, you will have the strong
est claims upon your country's gratitude.

THE TWO JOHNS.
THEY BREAKFAST TOGETHER AT
THE FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL.
Carlisle Has Much Faith in Mckinley
and Thinks He VIII Make a Good
observation-disclosures Against an
Increase in the Army.

NEW YORK, Nov. Ex-senator John
Sherman OF Ohio, who is stopping at the
Fifth Avenue hotel, had a number OF
callers today.
He ate breakfast with John G. Carlisle,
secretary Of the treasury. In answer TO
a. query by a reporter Of the United As
sOc-ated Presses. as TO the probability of
the next administration negotiating a
new treaty OF annexation with Hawaii.
the senator said:
Il think Mr. Mckinley will make a
WISE patriotic president, but as to his
foreign policy, l cannot undertake to
make any predictions. I have not seen
him for several months. We must leave
i TO the administration to plan its own
foreign policy
Mr.. Sherman refused to express an
opinion on the matter. Asked if there
was any significance in the report of
General Miles recommending an in
crease of the army, the senator replied
that he had not seen the report, but"
he added, 1T will require very weighty
Arguments to convince congress that
1t is the settled policy of this nation to
maintain a small standing army
In speaking Of the reports from Wash
ington about possible hcStilities with
Spain, Senator Sherman said: II do not
LOOT for any trouble with Spain. Mr..
Cleveland seems TO be following the right
policy, that of maintaining neutrality
with all the friendly powers"
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-11-13

Spanish premier, Senior Canovas Del
Castillo, has communicated with the
powers with the intention of seeking
support against the United States 1t
is explained that the story is probably
a reiteration of the report circulated in
August last, when Spain prepared q
memorandum on Cuban relations with
America, suggesting that the powers
assist Spain in bringing amicable pres
sure to bear on the United States, but
on the advice of the ambassadors of
the powers the Spanish minister for
foreign affairs consulted with the
United States minister before sending
the memorandum, and he had no hest
tation in saying that the dispatch Of
such a note directly after President
Cleveland's proclamation calling for
observance of the neutrality laws
would be calculated to affect seriously
the relations between Spain and the
United States. The Spanish minister
for foreign affairs thereupon assured
Minister Taylor that the memorandum
would be withheld, also saying that no
offense was intended to President
Cleveland or to the government of the
United States, and that Spain had de-
cided only to sound" the powers, with
the view of contingencies which might
arise out of the presidential election.

THE EMPEROR,s DIsPATcH.

LONDON. Nov. 12.-The Daily News will
tomorrow comment upon a remarkable
speech made by Lord Donsdale, who is an
intimate friend of Emperor William,
upon retiring from the mayoralty of
Whitehaven. He denounced as childish
the anger that has been aroused in Eng
land by the telegram sent some months
ago by Emperor William to President
Kruger of the Transvaal. He declared
that the fact was that President Kruger
had asked Emperor William to assist the
Transvaal in its trouble with Great
Britain, and that the emperor declined to
do so. Subsequently the emperor sent the
dispatch. merely congratulating President
Kruger for coping with the trouble alone
the emperor had known the result the
thing would have had in Great Britain,
he would not have sent it. Anyhow. he
was authorized by Emperor William TO
declare that nothing in the smallest de-
gree antagonistic of Great Britain or the
British people was intended.

Kind of Legislation He and Hi

NEW YORK. Nov. PA Wash
ington special says:
Senator Butler yesterday ven
tured the opinion that his party
friends and the independent silver
senators would not oppose tariff
legislation in the coming session Of
congress.
None of our people," said he,
will fight a revenue tariff, if the
duty is put on raw materials, but
whatever protection is afforded
must be equitably distributed for
the benefit of the producer as well
as the manufacturer. If the gov
eminent has not sufficient money
to pay its obligations. early relief
should be afforded. We will agree
not only to a duty on raw mater
iais, but we will also vote for a tar
iff on luXuries."
Mr.. Butler did not particularize
as to iuxuries, but in a general way
he said that most of the articles
consumed by the rich or used by
them for ornament should pay a

Views OF n Priest.

ROCHESTER, N. Y. Nov PA priest
who is in position to know how mat
ters affecting the Catholic church ere
regarded in this diocese said to-av:
u do not believe the story that Rome
has made declaration against Bishop
keane and Archbishop Ireland is true.
y is absurd to suppose that any cor
respondent can be in possession of facts
SO intimately connected with the vatican
e. to the claim that either of the &C.
cies.ast-cs named is accused of or will
be disciplined for heresy, that is still
more absurd. There is no division in the
American churches upon matters of
faith upon which alone a charge of
he-esy could be based. If as seems
likely, Archbishop Ireland is in DIS
fave" al Rome. It is over matters of ad-
ninistration and church policy and ex-
pressly due to his sermon bearing ,:pon
politics: His attitude drring the cam
pa-gn has been so strongly for Nc
Kinley that it may have been deemed in
discreet and unbecoming a high dicn5-
