Paul Vandervoort of Nebraska,
president of the National Press
Reform association, and one of
the populist party leaders, makes
the statement that the endorse
ment of Bryan by the st. Louis
convention was the outcome of a
trade by which Gov. Holcomb, a
warm friend Of the railroads, is to
be reelected and Senator Allen is
to be returned to the U. S. senate.
He further states that the Ne
braska delegation was composed
mostly of office-holding dem O.
Gratis and that they rode to the
convention on free passes, and
that under the rules of the party
they were not elig1ble to seats in
the convention. 1t looks S
though the great reform party
was getting to be abouut as cor
rupt as they have charged the
two old parties with being. It
may be, however, that on account

upon the constitutionality of the
act. The opinion was written by
Judge Haney.

Last week we mentioned the
fact that some bonds owned by the
state issued by Mexican silver
mine did not pay the interest. A
report of the conlpany's business
has been sent to all bondholders,
and Auditor Nipple gives us the
following items of interest to
laboring men as shown by that
report: Timber men at 900 foot
level get $3.50 a day, pump men
$500, laboring men S1.5O. Flour
sells to the miners at S12.4S a
hundred, lard A cents a pound,
sugar 25 cents pound, all in sill
yer money. These figures are
from an official report, and should
be enough to prove that silver is
a sham where it is used alone as
it is in Mexico. It is only worth
bullion prices when coined as it
has no redeemable value.

zation of silver men, especially
in the middle west, where the
victory is this year to be won or

that section have a better orgar-

there are lots of other sort of
talk those best informed, in all
the parties, believe that MIcKin-

that Bryan will carry the south
and the extreme west, leaving
the middle west to determine
whether Mckinley and the gold
standard shall prevail or Bryan
and the free coinage Of silver
come out on top. Carefully go
ing over all sorts of available in

that if the voting was to be done

A Pedestrian Who is in a Hurry to
Again Reach Canada's HospitabIe
Shores.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 20.-Sydney A.
Slocum has ten days in which to walk
to Canada. He started last night and
he carries with him a certified copy
of an order from Judge Grosscup of
the federal court giving him immu
nifty from arrest. The man is safe from
the law for ten days. Slocum was a
refugee in Canada He was wanted
here. but his offense was not extra
ditable, so his bondsmen resorted to
strategy, got him across the line, ar
rested him. turned him over to the
federal authorities, and were dis
charged of their bonds.
Slocum applied for a writ of habeas
corpus, and Judge Grosscup heard the
case yesterday He held that the man
had been unfairly dealt with, mas
much as he had been extradited on
one charge and then arrested on an
other. and he must be- given reason
able time, the judge said, in which to
return to the country from which he
was eXtradited Then came the re-
markable order and the pedestrian
clause Slocum said he had no money
and probably would have to walk back
to Canada, so he asked for some order
showing he had a reasonable time in
which to walk the distance. So the
court gave him ten days and also set
aside the release of the bondsmen.
Slocum's alleged offense was commit
ted two years ago in Peoria, III.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 20
Senator Teller said today that the ac-
ton of the British parliament on the
silver question was encouraging.
1t was a long step in advance and
contradicts the assertions frequently
made by advocates of the gold stand
ard, that silver is losing ground in
Europe.
No one expects England to oper
her minis for the unrestricted coinage
of silver" said he. "but what has oc-
CURED in the British parliament within
the last few days is gratifying to thoss
who wish she would do So 1t indicates
that public sentiment is very strong
when man like Balfour stands I'D and
talks like he did
I'VE believe it is a most encouraging
symptom, and that it will not be long
before silver coinage in India is re-
sumed, and silver is recognized as
money by the Bank of England Never
bafore has the British parliament been
willing to make any concessions what
ever, and 1 would not be surprised if
there should soon be a declaration from
that source in favor of an information

showing the earnings of the steamers Sea
Bird Daniel Webster, Independence and

ter has been aired in the courts many
times by the attorneys for William H.
Brown administrator of the estate of his
ia Their, w. A. Brown, who was the owner
of the steamers.
Mr.. Brown claims that an agreement
was entered into between w. A. Brown
and Commodore Vanderbilt, March 81,
1851, by which Brown was to run his yes
sells from San Francisco to San Juan del
Sur, to connect there with vessels of the
Vanderbilts. Brown borrowed s120,000 from
the latter and gave a bill of sale for the
steamers which he owned. This was to
be repaid out of the profits of the vessels.
The claim is further made by Mr.. Brown
that the steamers earned S4S0,0G0 a year
and that they were transferred to the
Nicaragua Canal company, of which Com
modore Vanderbilt was the chief owner
The value of the steamers was placed at
$3.50, COO.
No accounting, Mr.. Brown declares was
ever rendered, and as Cornelius Wander
bilt is about to leave for Europe, the APP
plication for the order was made at this
time.
Judge McIain signed an order granting

SPAIN HAS FAILED.
That is the General Impression Mt
Washington.

CHICAGO, March pa special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
The impression strengthens in official
circles that Spain has made a. failure OF
it in Cuba, and that the rebellion cannot
be suppressed other than by wearing il
out. That the campaign in Cuba is nearly
at an end, so far as this winter is con-
cerned, is now apparent. The rainy sea-
son will set in soon. and then military
operations of a serious nature will have
to end.
! Up to this time General Weyler has
itary point of view, and there is little
reason to hope that he will accomplish
ANYTHING in the short time remaining for
field work. Moreover-and this is a condi-
ton of affairs for which President Cleve-
land has been Waiting-there are many in
dications that the Spanish authorities are
despairing of success. 1t is freely pre-
dicted by officials here, familiar with what
might be called the inside of the situa-
ton. that President Cleveland will inter-
vene successfully within sixty days The
interests of the United States and of
humanity require that the struggle be not
allowed to continue another winter after
another summer of Industrial paralysis
The American citizens of Cuba have
been
FILING THEIR CLAIMS
with the United States consuls during the
last few months, and they have been
coming to the state department at the
rate of one or two a day recently The
claims are for all kinds of damage in
f1icted on the property and crops of the
American non-combatants. They are for
the destruction of crops machinery and
buildings, and the seizure of horses. cat
tie and all kinds of domestic animals and
fowls, which have been taken by the sol
diery of one side or the other. The Span
ish soldiers have, it is said. committed at
least as many of the minor depreda tons
as the insurgents, if not more. The larger
amount of the claims has resulted from
the destruction of sugar cane
The bill which the United States will be
called on to render on behalf of its citi-
zens against Spain will be a heavy one.
So long as Spain persists in maintaining
it is an instruction only that exists in
the island, and not a state of war. it is
liable for all damages inflicted on the
property belonging to peaceful citizens of
another nation, whether these DANA ges
are inflicted by its own troops or by those
of the insurgents.
1t is not known whether President
Cleveland's message will offer any sug-
gestion as to the future course OF this
country towards Spain and Cuba. or
whether he will content himself with
transmitting the correspondence. The doc
uments will be submitted to the cabinet
some time today, and it may then be de-
termined whether it is necessary for the
president to express an opinion on the
Cuban resolutions or to outline the atti-
tude OF the administration.
