ON THE TRACK.
At Ineieside.

San Francisco, April 10.-The feature OF
racing to-day was the 2-year-old dash in
which was entered Orestes, the son OF
Ormonde. The youngster got off well, but
fell back at once, and, owing to being
jumped into, was thrown out of his
stride. He showed great speed in the
stretch and was rapidly overrhauling his
field. Despite the fact that he finished
outside the money Orestes ran a very
creditable race and gives every promise
of developing into a good colt. Second
choices took three races and third choices
the other three.
Five and half furlongs-Ottyanne
won, Don Caesar second, Charles A.
third; time. 1:10h. Four furlongs, 2-year-
old maidens-Early Notice won, Emelia
s second. Diableta third; time. 81. Seven
furlongs-Olive won. Cabrillo second,

ond, Schnitz third; time, 1884, Six fur

CLEVELAND
The President at Last Says a Word
About Cuban Affairs
SUGGESTIONS TO MADRID
He Expresses the Hope That the
Good Offices of the his Coun-
try VIII be Accepted in Me-
ation-It Is Er endIy.

Chicago. April ia dispatch to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
At last President Cleveland has taken
action in behalf OF Cuba. He has made
| to Spain formal proposition that the
good offices of the United States be
/ accepted in mediation between that
country and her rebellious colony in
the West Indies. This proposition was
made in a cablegram or instructions to
our minister at Madrid which was dis
patched to-day 1t brings to a crisis
the relations between the United States
and Spain which have been unsettled
since the outbreak of the Cuban re-
bellion. The principal points of the
dispatch are:
First-The president offers the good
offices of the United States in media
ton between Spain and the insurgents
with a view to bringing about peace in
Cuba.
Second-The note recalls the corre-
, spondence between this government
and Spain at the time of the 10 years
war when President Grant and Secre-
tary Fish proposed mediation and the
Spanish government, though declining
to accept IT. promised certain reforms
in Cuba. The fact that the United
States was in part instrumental in
bringing about that settlement and the
charge that the Spanish government
has not kept its promises is given as a
reason why the United States should
now have a right to be heard in the
case.
Third-It is pointed out that the pres
elt rebellion in Cuba has assumed a
much more serious aspect than any for
mer instruction. the insurgents having
apparently taken possession of all the
island except Havana and a small section
of country round about.
Spain is assured of the fact that the
United States is actuated only by disin-
terested motives and by a desire through
friendship TO bring about a more pacific
and satisfactory state of affairs in the
island Spain is urged to accept our good
offices in the spirit in which they are
rendered and the hope is expressed that
the Spanish government will see its way
to granting reforms in Cuba.
The president does not ask Spain to
grant the independence of Cuba. nor does
he suggest that home rule be accorded
the people of that island. He leaves all
these questions of method to he discussed
after Spain shall have expressed a will
lingness to accept mediation.

The season of book beer is again at
hand and the familiar sign of a goat
head adorns the bill boards. This par
ticular brand of beer gets its name
from the German bock-a he goat and
the history of 1t is given as follows by
an authority: A kind of strong beer,
the first drawn from the watts in the
spring, when the winters brew of lager
beer is preached. So called on account
of the German legend which affirms
that in a competitive trial of the
strength of beers brewed by two rival
brewers, in which each drank the pro-
duct of the other. the defeated candi-
date declared that IL was not the beer
of his rival which had made him I'M
steady on his legs and over threw him,
but a young he goat which some chill
dren were chasing and which ran
against him and overturned him. As
the book was blamed for his fall, (al-
though many suspected the beer) that
particular variety of beer has been
named book beer in commemoration of
the occurrence.
The book beer made by the Centen-
NAL Brewing company has increased
rapidly in popularity during the last
two or three years and IL is now asked
for by every one who likes good beer.
IL is a home product and being super
Tor to the imported book beer its great
popularity all over Montana is easily
accounted for.

Portland. Ore. April 1o.-The republi-
can state convention to-day adopted a
platform which declares for the use of
both gold and silver with such restric-
tons as will secure the maintenance of
the values of the two metals. The dele
gates to the national convention were din
structed to vote for Mckinley for presi-
dent. The following is the financial plank
in full:
THE American people, from tradition
and interest. favor bimetallism and the
republican party demands the use of
both gold and silver as standard money,
with such restrictions and under such
provisions, to be determined by legisla-
ton, will secure the maintenance of
the parity of values of the two metals, so
that the purchasing and debt-paying
power of the dollar, whether of silver,
gold or paper, shall be at all times equal.
The interests of the producers of the
country-its farmers and its workingmen
demand that every dollar, paper or
coin, issued by the government shall be
as good any other dollar"
The following resolution, which was Of
fered as a substitute for the financial
plank of the platform, was defeated by a
vote of 129 to 10S.
Resolved, That we favor the use of
both gold and silver to the extent at
which they can be maintained in circula-
paying power; but we are earnestly OPP
posed to the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to j for the
reason that 1t would destroy such parity,
enormously contract the volume of cur
rency by forcing gold out of circulation
and Immediately place the country on a
silver basis. Believing that the effort of
the international demonstration of sill
yer can be overcome only by information
al reconciliation of that metal, the re-
publican party of Oregon most earnestly
favors such measures as will accomplish
that purpose"

convention were elected as follows: r. A.

ton, selected f. A. E. Starr OF Multno-
