Of Naples, q really capable man. In fact,
it IL believed that the cabinets of Berlin,
Vienna and London were sounded on this
subject and that Count Goluchowski. the
Austrian prime minister for foreign affairs,
and Prince Hohenlohe, the imperial chan
cellor of Germany, with the approval and
sympathy of Emperor William, took steps
to avert this most serious crisis by bring
ing about accord between the drebund and
Great Britain and the latter's military di-
version up the Nile.
Therefore, az the Italia remarks, the
advance OF the British-Egyptian troops has
been of great advantage to Italy. 1t is
also admitted here that Great Britain has
won a very neat game OF cards in the po-
litical Tournaments which has been in pro-
gress since the accession of NicholaN IL. to
the throne of Russia. 1t is pointed out
that all danger of any serious objection on
the part of France is rapidly vanishing be-
meath the influence of the drebund. now
England's open ally, and that the advance
up tho Nile is probably only the first move
in another game which will possibly result
in the conquest of the Soudan, the crush
ing of the Mahdis for all time and the an
nexation of an immense region to Egypt
and ultimately to Great Britain, which in
creases the power of the hold which Great
Britain already has over the Suez canal,
the most important route to her Indian
POSSESSIONS.

SILVER AND TARIFF
A Conference Looking to Union Of

Interests
WASHINGTON, March ia conference
was held here today between the Republic
can silver senators who voted against tho
consideration of the house bill in the sem
ate and number of nanufact urers, prin-
cipaily from Pennsylvania, for the purpose
of arriving at an understanding on which
the silver advocates and the protectionists
can unite. While the conference resulted
in no joint declaration, those present ex-
pressed themselves satisfied that the result
would be to promote both interests, and
that an important step bad been taken to-
wards bringing them nearer together.
Speeches were made by the silver senators
present. They made it plain to the manu-
facturers that there would be no protect
i've tariff legislation without the rehabilita-
ton OF silver, and that bimetallism and
protection, as regarded from their stand
point, constituted an issue before the
country. The manufacturers present en-
dorssd this position and the senators pres
ent regard this meeting as the first note OF
warning to the Republican party against
the adoption of single gold standard
plank in the st. Louis platform. or the
nomination of gold man on a straddle
plank. Senator Caneron's name was
mentioned in connection with the presl-
dencv during tie meeting and met with
approval by many present.

Weather in the East

CLEVELAND, o., March l9.-About noon
today the fishing tiiga jesse Enas and He
lene went out on the lake, and after gath
ering the rets set out the night before,
started back. When outside the break
water the blizzard struck them and they
wer. soon hemmed in by dense packs of
floating ice that were driven in by the
north wind. The powerful tugs Bacon and
T. Z. Smith forced their way TO the rescue
amid the binding snowstorm and the Be-
con also became wedged fast. The Smith
released her and they returned to the
river. Just before nightfall they again
made the attempt and this time, after a
hard battle. brought the Helene in. The
hands and feet OF all her crew were badly
frozen. The Bacon put back the third
time to rescue the Jessie Enas but the
effort was finally abandoned and the craft
will probably be dashed upon the break
wafer.

Allison is not without supporters.
The Republican county committees met

that delegates had no second choice, and
the Plat men answered IN the affirmative.
The roll call being insisted upon, the reso-

FITTING OUT STEAMERS
NEW York, March 19.-The Advertiser
tomorrow will publish the following: AS a
result of "a conference of the leading Cuban
sympathizers in this city, held recently,
three steamers will be fitted out within the
next six weeks and will leave for Cuban
shores laden with arms and ammunition
for the insurgents. The entire cost of the
expeditions will approximate about S225.-

it is said, and is now in the hands OF John
D. Hart, the Philadelphian who success.
fully started the Bermuda. Calling guns
and several thousand stands of rifles
will be taken on the steamers, to-
gether with two million rounds of
ammunition. The present idea, it
il said. is to clear the steamers for the
West Indies, and to send them far enough
Spanish gunboats OH the east of the island,
eventually arriving at the southwestern
portion of the island. One of those most
deeply interested in the expedition said:
"There will be no attempt at secresy.
The expedition will leave here in seven
weeks almost, and captains will he placed
in charge who are not only thoroughly ac-
quainted with the Cuban coast, but who
are darling enough to land their expeditions
safely with their cargo"
SERIOUS PROBLEM
LONDON, March ia dispatch to the
Pail Mall Gazette from Madrid says the
pacitication of Cuba is now looked upon as
impossible except as result of supreme
effort, involving the sending OF large REIN
forcements to the islan,, and instituting
complete blockade of it's coasts.
GROWING TIRED OF WEYLER
NEW YORK, March 20. "A special to the
World from Madrid says
II is difficult to describe the profound
and disagreeable impression created in
Madrid and in the provinces by the recent
declaration of Gen. Weyler. particularly in
military, political and official circles.
The majority of the Madrid press clearly
reveal regret at Weyler having selected
the present political circumstances for
making such declaration, but at the same
time the present stress of patriotism
makes them say all SpanIards must sup
port Weyler and must insist upon the gov
eminent allowing him to carry out his
policy without regard for foreign pressure
or opinion.
Senior Ribot, chief of the Catalan Repub-
licans, in recent speech against the
United States, makes this confession:
at cannot be denied thet the Spanish
colonial policy in Cuba has been disastrous
and despotic to the extent of justifying
fully the rebeilioDs there against the
Spanish government"

WHY woRk1NGMEN FAVOR SILVER

If tlle CAPITALISTS Of all the world
rush here with their silver and coin it
into American silver dollars. what are
they going to do with Those dollars
They viii. of course, invest them in
American enterprises build ships. build
railroads and start factories, increasing
the demand for labor
That is why workingmen and business
men will vote for free silver.
That is the way in which a CORE
spondent writes to the New York
World He puts the case as it is. If
ali the silver in tine world were to come
to the United States. the United States
would be the richer by the amount of sill
YER in the world. Opponents of free
silver say that our gold would go for
the worlds silver, but they fail to ex-
plain how this would occur. Under free
coinage those who took their bullion to
the niThs would receive in return sill
YER dollars. The government would
mint it and stamp it, and that is all;
it would not undertake to buy the sill
yer or TO exchange gold dollars for sill
yer ones.
If AID the silver in the world came to
this country it would either be invested
in various American enterprises or
those who brought it would take Amer
lean products, natural or manufactured,
in exchange for it. In either case Che
effect would be to engage all idle work
men and our production would very
far exceed our consumption, which
would mean continuous increase of
wealth Another result of the rush of
silver to America would be to raise the
price of silver in foreign countries to
a par with golds because those coun-
tries would have to have it All admit
that all money systems must employ
silver, and yet some say that the same
SILVER money we have now would be
worthless if we have enough Of it.

AN IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.

Our readers will be glad to see this
morning that The Herald has taken a
new and important step in the way of
permanent Improvement In forming
an alliance with the greaest news asso-
citation in the world, it has placed it
self in a position not only to benefit
its readers individually, but to promote
the interest OF the state by bringing it
into closer communication with every
section of the Union. Hereafter all the
news, foreign and domestic, of i'm
portance or interest to mankind, and
especially to the inhabitants of the
interior of the continent, will come to
US in impartial substance, in full vol
ume and in fair form. This desirable
result will be accomplished through our
connection with the United Press and
its allied associations whose news IA
cilities cover every state in the Union
and every country in the world. The
fact that the new state Of Utah, its re-
sources and industries and progress,
will be brought more directly to the at
tention of the older communities OF the
republic by the dissemination of intel
ligence from here TO the east and the
west, on our overland wire. will un-
doubtedly prove of great advantage
not only to this city but to the state at
large. 1t is with pleasure, therefore,
that we make this announcement in
the firm belief that our efforts in be-
half of the public welfare will be ap-
preciated by the people of this section
as we'll as of the other sections of the
Union.

POLITICS IN GOVERNMENT REPORTS

Mr.. Henry G. Carpenter, the United
States commercial agent at Furth, Ba-
vaTia, recently made a report to the
department of state in which he said:
The great difficulty with American
manufacturers and dealers is that they
waste their time shouting for a home
market, when there is no home mark ct
and can never be so long as the supply
SO greatly exceeds the demand The
markets they want are here and else
where in the world, and are not so
hard to find if they would only take
time to hunt them up.
For this he is being very roundgy de-
nounced by some Republican papers,
which are trying to make political cap
ital out of it. We take it that Mr. Car
penter does not mean to convey the
idea that there is no home market, but
that the home market being supplied
by home producers and manufacturers,
foreign markets must be sought for in
which to dispose of our surplus
products. He is not happy in the ex-
preston Of his views.
The San Francisco Chronicle says
his views of political economy in a. re-
port made to the state department
Leaving aside the justice or injustice
OF the accusation, we think that at
times too much politics does get into
government reports. We remember to
have seen, some years ago, in a govern
ment report, on a subject that in no
way had to do with politics, the state
ment made that the policy of the gov
eminent, in all things should be the
very opposite of that of England. A
more absolutely absurd statement
could not have been made. nor could it
have been made in a more inappropri-
ate place. The statement had no bust
ness in the report
Mr.. Carpenter appears to have let his
political bias intrude itself into his of
fetal report TO some little extent. 1t is
not the place for it. The business of
consular officers and commercial agents
is to ascertain the wants and needs, in
the way of products of all kinds, of the
countries to which they are assigned.
and how best American merchants can
supply them. They should ascertain
facts and conditions and report them,
and refrain from all theorizing. The
voters can do that for themselves.
This occasional injecting of politics
into government reports comes very
largely from the fact that nothing but
politicians are. at times, placed in
charge of important departments and
la1,r-~
cases are quite apt to do a little fawn-
ing by putting into their official bust
ness the views of their supertors The
custom should not merely be discour-
aged, but forbidden.
