NOTHING KNOWN OF 1T.

Washington, August 20.-Up to this
time the State Department officials say
they have not heard officially of any out
rage upon the flag of Spain by the people
of Key West, Fla, reference of which was
made in the chamber of deputies at Mad
rid yesterday. The presumption is that
whatever has been done toward learning
the facts in the case has been under
taken by the Spanish minister ID the
United States, and that if the ate, ton
of the Government is called to the alleged
outrage, it will be through the medium
of Mr. De LONE

RENOUNCED MILLIONS

San Francisco, August 20.-Mrs.
Hulda Smell has renowned her claims to
the millions of the late Andrew J. Davis.
of Butte, Mont. Mrs. Smell claimed to
be the wife of the millionaire, and that
he had deserted her years ago. Detective
Stillwell has been working on the case
for three years in Mrs. SMELLS interests,
and his Investigations have proven that
there were two men named \. j. Davis
Both were miners; both worked in Cali
fornia and they strongly resembled each
other. He found, however, that the a.
j. Davis, who was Mrs. SHELLS husband,
was not the Butte millionaire, and that
he had died twenty one years ago. Mrs.
Smell WILL accordingly, make no further
efforts to obtain the Butte millions

tinue indefinitely to suffer the evil re-
suits of that criminal conspiracy. Every
effort to free ourselves from the inioui
tous burden is called reputation. In
view of these things, it is not difficult to
understand the intense earnestness and
enthusiasm of the common people at the
Chicago convention and the brusque

THEY WILL NEVER FIGHT.

Pretoria, August 20.-President Kru-
ger, of the Transvaal republic, in an in
terview declared that the stories attrib
uting hostile intentions on the part of
the Transvaal are absolutely inventions,
spread by people who were angry because
England and the Transvaal could not be
pushed into a war with each other. In
conclusion he expressed the opinion that
war between the Transvaal republic and
Great Britain would never occur. DR..
w. j. Layds, the secretary of State for
the Transvaal republic, in an interview
just published, expresses similar senti-
ments. He denies all the rumors of re-
cent troubles between the two countries
and the assertion that Transvaal has
negotiated treaty with foreign country
in conformation of the Anglo Boer con
vention. In conclusion he declared that
the Transvaal republic is doing its best

WHY SILVER IS FAILING

London. August 20.-The.. Westminis.
ter Gazette this afternoon,..in it's finan-
cial article, attributes the fall of silver to
the inability of spectators in the United
States to carry silver purchases with Dor
rowed money and the scarcity of buyers.
1t says: 1.-The quantity of silver lying
unused in the banks of China is large,
there being much less demand for it,
owing to the set back in trade in both
China and Japan, due to the smallness of
the purchase of silk by America and
Europe What the people are anxious
to know is, what is the amount of silver
which is still carried by spectators in
the United States; but no information is
obtainable on this point, though it must
be large. The price is now declining
and the figure may induce more active
speculation both in london and India y

y GREAT FIND.

Discovery of the Largest Cave in the
World, Which Contains Gold.
St. Louis, August 2O.-A special TO the
Republic from Mansfield, Mo-. says:
There has been great excitement here
over the reported discovery of gold and
the finding simultaneously of the largest
cave in the world near the new town of
Hudson. For two or three years the earth
has been sinking in these parts to such
an extent as to cause uneasiness among
the population. Later there has been a
recurrence of this strange phenomenon.
Upon investigation an opening to what it
Is said to be the largest cave in the world
was found. Cavern after cavern, lined
with pure onyx, and traversed by sub
terranean streams have been explored
without finding the end. Portions of
stalactites in one of the caverns were
found to contain gold.

BRYAN NOT WORRIED.
He Says Everything Will be All Right in
New York.

Upper Red Hook, n. Y, August 90
1t is pretty apparent here to-day that Can
dldate Bryan's plan to spend some time
in New York State campaigning is not OBJ
jectionable to leaders in Democratic State
politics, but that on the contrary he has
their co operation in the movement. 1t is
not hard to anticipate that the State
Democratic convention in Buffalo will
endorse his candidacy from several events
of the past two days,an Mr.. Bryan him
self smiled this morning and said: 81
am not bothering about New York DEM
ocrats Everything will he all right
Among the facts of sig nificance are the
visit last night of Elliott Danforth, of
the New York delegation, and the proposed
visit of Mr.. Bryan to meet q number of
Democrats at Winiesook Lodge in the
Catskills, presided over by Chairman
Hinckley, of the Democratic State COM
mittee. With these significant facts is
coupled the arrangement of a new
Western itinerary, that includes several
points in New York State,
Mr.. Bryan does not expect to speak in
Chicago. The morning of the fifth Mr..
Bryan will leave for Nebraska over the
Burlington route, making no stops.
Mr.. Danforth, when asked the question
of State support of Mr.. Bryan by the
Democratic party, said tersely: 1.-THE
Democrats .of New York will support
him, l have no doubt, but the active
work will not begin until our convention
meets at Buffalo,
The second surprise came this morn
ing, when son of Chairman Hinckley
came here with an urgent personal letter
from his father inviting Mr.. Bryan to
visit the camp in the Catskills, where are
gathered n number of prominent Demo-
Gratis. When the messenger had gone
Mr.. Bryan said that he had practically
decided to accept the invitation, and
would spend night over there before
leaving for the West.

PRODUCTION to any English-speaking law
yer-but of presenting to you Lord Rus
sell, of Killowen, the lord chief Justice
of England, who will deliver the annual
address on the subject of international
Law
Lord Russell prefaced his words by a
modest but handsome acknowledgment
of the loving and hearty welcome with
which he was honored on this occasion.
and in concluding masterful review of
international law, ancient and modern.
said:
"Civilization in it's true, its highest
sense, must make for peace. Govern
ment is becoming more and more, but in
no narrow class sense, government of the
people, by the people and for the people.
Populations are no longer moved and
manoeuvred as the arbitrary will or rest
less ambition or caprice of kings or po-
tentates may dictate. And although
democracy is subject to violent gusts of
passion and prejudice they are gusts
only. The abiding sentiment of the
masses is for peace-for peace to live in
dustrious lives and to he at rest with all
mankind. With the prophet of old they
felt-though the feeling may find no
articulate uttcrance-how beautiful upon
the mountains are the feet of him that
bringeth good tidings, that pubiishcth
peace.
At the close of the address the vast au-
dience rose to its feet and applauded and
chcercd him to the echo The demon
stration lasted fully fifteen minutes. y
large number of persons focked to the
platform and. shaking hands with Lord
Russell, heartily congratulated him on

On motion of Edward j. Phelps, of
