HASTINGS FOR SECOND LACE
Senator Quay Will Ask That Favor Of
Maj. Mckinley.

Washington, May %. It is stated on
good authority that Senator Quay,
when in Canton, will urge Mckinley 20
lend his influence toward nominating
Gov. Hastings of Pennsylvania for vice
president. Hastings fought bitterly
against Quay last fall, but on being
defeated was offered and accepted
Quay's forgiveness. If Mckinley agrees
to support Hastings Quay will, on his
return from Canton, withdraw from the
presidential race and announce that
Mckinley is sound on the money Dues
ton. Should Hastings he nominated
and elected, Quay will name and con-
troll Pennsylvania's next governor.

right to sit in the queens carriage on
state occasions, and not the prince con-
sort. The duke of Wellington, how
ever, gave his opinion that the queen
could put Lord Albemarle where she
liked-either on top Of the coach or
beneath it, or anywhere else. The queen
took wonderful care of her beIovel
husband, whom she was to lose so
early. In her diary she speaks with
sorrow of his delicate stomach So

queens life that she has been under

The queens first child, the princess
loyal, was born in 1870 From that
time on she diligently fulfilled the
scriptural injunction, to incl ease and
multiply. There are countless por-
traits of her with her children, an |
some of these are very pleasing. She
has been painted and photographed
with one, two, three, four, five, SIN,

Lord Salisbury Acknowledges
He is In the Wrong.
THE VENEZUELA DISPUTE
Has Yielded to Secretary Olney
on the Crucial Point.
ARBITRATION Is NOW POSSIBLE
The Settled Portions Of the Disputed
tract are Also to Be Subjected
to the Judgment OF the
Arbitrators.
Arbitrators

Washington, Aug. 18.--The cable re-
port from London that Lord Salisbury
has yielded to Secretary Olney on the
crucial point of the Venezuela negotia-
tons, that of including the settled por-
tons of the disputed tract in the pro-
posed arbitration, is regarded as an
important development by those inter
ested in the subject. This inclusion
of the settled districts" has been the
chief obstacle in the way of arbitra-
ton, so that if the report of its re-
moval is confirmed the two govern
ments appear to be nearer to an ami
cable agreement than at any time
since the trouble began.
Lord Salisbury from the start, has
insisted that this settled district was
sovereign British soil which could not
be subjected to the Judgment of arbi-
tration. Secretary Olney has urged
that the omission of this settled
portion from arbitration would defeat
the whole scope of the arbitration, as
the unsettled or worthless sections,
were not what Venezuela contended
for. The latest view of this phase was
presented in a brief by Mr.. Storrow,
LAWYER of Boston, of whose ability

Storrow brief was laid before the Ven
ezuela commission as a part of the
Venezuela case, but aside from this it
is lnown1 that its line of argument was
similar to that taken by the Secretary
of State. Mr.. Storrow pointed out that
the ''settled district" was in fact but
little settled; that the number of Bri-
fish colonists there was comparatively
insignificant; that the their improve
mentsp on which Lord Salisbury had
laid much stress, were of the most
meager and primitive kind and that
the whole money value of existing
British settlements, houses, improve
ments, etc, would be a comparatively
small sum. From this the conclusion
was drawn that these so-called settled
districts should not stand in the way
of the adjustment of so large a ques-
ton. There has been no intfmation
that this view was shared by the Bri-
fish authorities until the cable dis
patch stating that, on what is believed
to be the inspired authority. of the
Bradford Observer, the point was
conceded by Lord Salisbury The fur
Their suggestion is made that
cash payment will be made for the inn
provements of the British settlers, in
case Venezuela is awarded the terri
tory, but no reference is made as to
who-will pay the indemnity, although
it is construed here to mean that Great
Britain will mollify those Of her sub
jects who are dispossessed.

A FIFTY-CENT DOLLAR.

The basis upon which Senator Sher-
man rested his argument in his open
ing speech for Hanna at Columbus, O..
was that the government will, under
free coinage, be placed upon a 53-eent
dollar standard, using the following
language;
If the free coinage Of silver is
authorized, then the market value
of silver bullion becomes the
standard for payments on all con-
tracts made in the past, the pres
ent, or the future; 412h grains
of standard silver bullion, worth
now So cents, can with free coin
age be coined into dollar upon
the demand of any holder of such
bullion. This dollar is delivered
to the owner of the bullion, and
is not supported by the fiat of the
government. The government
does not undertake to maintain it's
relative value with gold. The
government stamps it This is a
dollar
Its purchasing power is 50
cents. but its debt~paying power
is one dollar. 1t is to be a legal
tender for one dollar of debt, but
in the purchase of any article it
is only worth So cents, for the
seller of the article can fix his
price according to the kind OF
money ff,red.'
Under the Bland act, the silver dol
lar, coined at is to /, is legal tender
for the payment of debts. Because
of this quality given it by law, it to
day possesses a purchasing power OF
one dollar, although lbs bullion value
is only SO cents. A man who San use
the dollar as a dollar to pay his debts
with is willing to taEc il in exchange
for his goods Now why, under free
coinage, will this state of affairs be
changed? Senator Shermen says "for
the seller of the article can fix his
price according to the kind of money
offered" It will be nows 10 our farm
ers to know that they as sellers oi
cotton can fix the price according to
the money offered. They have been
under the impression thai the price
was fixed by few things other than
the wishes of the seller. And yet upon
this slender basis stands the argument
of the strongest advocate of the gold
standard in America. A vain and i'm
potent conclusion.

NO DANGER IN SILVER.

President Andrews, of Brown Uni
versity, in an interview in the New
York Journal, shows that the only way
out of our present deplorable financial
condition is the adoption OF free com
age. independent of other nations. And
he holds further that it can be done
without danger to our national credit.
According to DR.. Andrews the real
and immediate menace to our credit
is in not providing for bi-metailism'
because. he contends, if no change is
made in our present financial system
there is no way for the government to
avoiding buying more gold to pay
running expenses.
Discussing the production of gold
and silver in this country and the dam
ger of an influx of foreign silver
from other countries, he said:
"There would be no influx of foreign
silver. Immediately, free coinage by
us would increase the total amount of
silver produced, but the new silver
could not be mined at so low margin
al cost as at present prevails. The
marginal cost would be increased with
the output, so that all tendency from
this source of silver would be mega
tiyed. Prolific silver-mines now are
very few"
As to the advantages of free silver
and the possibility that they would be
negatived by injury to our credit, thus
causing a withdrawal of foreign capi-
tai, DR.. Andrews said
Our present course must speedily
lower our credit. How long could a
man or firm continue to have
credit who borrowed each year to pay
a large portion of his running eN-
penses. Yet, on gold basis, this
course is inevitable, and that is at this
moment the reason why foreign len
ders are afraid of our securities.
There must lie a change, If we
would avoid bankruptcy. With free
coinage, every industry would look up,
and even if we lost our gold, our pros
perity would invite English capital,
Just as Japanss prosperity now causes
tito rush there.
s.Neyer since slavery days has the
press in the Iarts of the country fam
liar to me. displayed such disregard
for truth and such stubborn obtuse-
ness to the most obvious considera-
items ass at present on the silver
question: ID
This means that the money pow
er, seated in London, but with repre-
sentatives in New York, Philadelphia,
and Chicago. is determined to continue
the appreciation of gold, and determin-
ed. therefore. that the facts shall be
known. The bankers and the press are
almost entirely under it's influence. /
think the money question, at the pre-
sent time, the greatest question of
civilization"
The argument Of DR.. Andrews is re-
garded as having the more Importance
because of his high standing as fl
nancial writer. He has long been an
advocate of bi-metallism, but until
recently urged international agree
ment. About two years ago he pub
lished book called "An Honest Dol
lar which was a plea for bi-metal-
lism, denying, however, the ability of
the United States 10 bring this about
without agreement with other coun-
tries.
Before becoming president Of Brown
University DR.. Andrews was Professor
of POLITICAL Economy and Finance at
Cornell University.
