Nrl>INLEy WILL srRADDLE 1T OUT.

A correspondent in the Chicago
Chronicle. who is said to be in the con-
fdence of both Mckinley and Quay,
gives what he alleges to be the sub
stance of their symposium last week.
He alleges that Major Mckinley and
Senator Quay agreed that tbs question
of the currency was subsidiary to and
included in the greater question OF tho
tariff" The tariff is the greater ques-
ton: the currency is Of less Importance.
Tariff first, currency afterward is the
substance of the declaration.
This has been the oft-repeated state
ment of the McKinleyitss and their
sympathizers for some time. William
NJ. Hahn. the Ohio member of the Re-
publican national committee, has beent
in New York to represent the Mckinley
interest. He was asked there whether
the Ohio member of the committee on
resolutions in the ST. Louis convention
would support a gold platform and
whether in so doing he would represent
the sentiment of Ohio Republicans and
of Mckinley Il have no right to say
was his reply!
1t has proceeded from dozen or more
different sources by authority of Nc
Kinley himself that it is his purpose
and the plan of his campaign to make
the tariff the paramount issue and to
regard money as a minor issue. The
greater includes the less" said one of
his interpreters. Give us the tariff
and the currency will take care of it
SELF" said another. Provide sufficient
revenue and protection, that is the only
question" said still another. Put the
Republican party in power again and
that will restore confidence, which will
settle the money question without legis-
lation," declared another oracle. A
Philadelphia Mckinley organ says:
When the new President is inaugurated
and the new Congress organized the
chief business will be tariff revision on
protective lines. The money question
needs no legislation
1t is easy enough to see in what di-
rection all this tends. 1t means that
the Mckinley policy in the campaign
for the nomination and in the campaign
for the election is to dodge, straddle and
suppress the money question. The
plan is to refuse all expression of opin-
ion about money in the platform and
70 refuse all discussion of the money
question in the campaign. The tariff
first and money afterward is their pres
ent position. They actually mean
everything about the tariff and nothing
about money. If McKinley's policy pre-
walls at st. Louis the Republican plat
form on the money question will be
straddle and evasion-a meaningless
mass of verbiage and a fraud

The Honduran Congress has passed
an act granting TO New York capitalists
a concession for building an inter4
oceanic railway from Puerto Cortes I'd
Amapala. While not part of the once
proposed Pan-American railroad route,
this pathway from the Caribbean Sea
to the Pacific Ocean across this Central
American State is one which has long
been contemplated as fine commercial
enterprise. The carrying of the project
TO completion would mean a new era
of Importance not only to Honduras but
to the entire South American shipping
trade.
Puerto Cortez is situated on the Bay
of Honduras, an inlet of the Caribbean
Sea, and it is distance of two hundred
miles across the little Republic TO ANA
pala. the only port of Honduras on the
Pacific. Amapala is on the island of
Tigre, in the Bay of Fonseca. The har-
Dor is magnificent. \ canal was long
ago proposed 20 connect these two prin-
cipal ports; but the enterprise was never
undertaken. The railroad spectators
may. however. be obliged to purchase
the canal privileges.

The idea that Japan would use the
Chinese indemnity TO make herself one
of the greatest naval powers in the
world. appears TO have been erroneous.
The Japanese Diet adjourned without
making any provision for naval expan-
sion. and the representatives Of Amer

home without having been able TO OBJ
tain a single contract. Japan may
simply have postponed the project, but
il looks very much as if self-restraint.

THE HORROR AT ST. LOUIS.

The information from ST. Louis and
relatively nearby points, this morning,
gives necessarily brief and Incomplete
outlines Of what appears to have been
the greatest calamity ever occurring
within the limits OF this United States.
The cyclone which struck the ILL
fated Mound City shortly after five
o'clock last evening, was not neces-
sarily more violent than most Of those
which have been spreading death and
desolation over the Middle West during
the past ten days, but swoOping down,
as it did. upon a densely populated and
compactly built city, spread over many
square miles Of territory, it found food
which was lacking upon the sparsely
inhabited prairies or in the small and
more or less scattered towns usually in
IT'S path, and as a result Death reaped
a harvest appalling in the number of
victims. while the wounded are doubt
less numbered by the thousands. That
the purely financial loss will run far in
to the millions can we'll be believed, as
a large portion of the city is probably
a torn and twisted wreck, infinitely
more horrible and disheartening in it's
aspect than that resulting from a great
confagration.
The picture presented in st. Louis
this morning must necessarily be an
awful one. Buildings torn asunder,
twisted out of all former semblance, or
carried bodily away; streets piled high
with tangled wreckage; the hospitals,
regular and extemporized. crowded with
mangled victims; other buildings filled
with the disfgred and mutilated bod
les Of the. dead; whole families wiped out
Of existence. or with a Providentially
saved member left to mourn the Death
of the others; fires raging here and
there among the ruins; the river
filled with the wreckage Of a score Of
water-craft. and hiding beneath the
surface of the swollen current scores
perhaps hundreds-of bodies; the light
and telegraph systems dismantled and
useless. and the railroads powerless;
the great bridges over the Mississippi
all but wrecked, and business paralyzed
these are a few of the certainties
which will confront the stricken people
with the rising of this mornings sun,
while, with the restoration of communi-
cation, will come. in all probability
tales of woe from the surrounding coun-
try. through which the storm must
have travelled to reach the city.
The sympathy of the country will be
aroused as it has not been since the
great Chicago fire. and the most ample
assistance will certainly be rendered,
should it be necessary, and the chances
are that it will be wanted.

Special to the Register.
Columbus, O., May 27.-The Press, a
Democratic newspaper, makes a pecu-
liar and interesting suggestion to the
coming Democratic National Conven-
ton. 1t wants the convention to de-
eide TO go back in measure to the
original methods of the parties in NOM
mating their candidates for President
and Vice President and the convention
refer the matter back to the party or
CARNATIONS in the States. In each
State the party is to nominate its cleo
toral ticket and national candidates of
its choice With the aid of the favorite
son influence it is thought that the
Democrats might carry number of
States that otherwise they could not.
When the electors are selected they
are to meet and select the candidate,
for whom they will vote by caucus.
