DEMONSTRATION FOR PEACE.
Weather Interfcred With the Hyde
Park Meetings.

Great preparations had been made for the
demonstration in favor of international
peace in Hyde Park, London, yesterday,
under the auspices of the organization COM
mittee for the international socialist and
trade union congress- in session In London
today. The demonstration committee had
been at work on the arrangements since
March, and had distributed 10000 hand bills
and 200 posters. had employed band to
head the procession. and had made elaborate
arrangements with the commissioner of
works and the police, but what they could
not arrange for was the weather, which
proved against them. and the downpour Of
rain practically made fiaSco of the demon
stration.
Very brief speeches were made by Tom
Mann. the socialist ex-member of parlia-
ment: Ben Tillett, Bernard Shaw, the we'll
known writer on socialist topics; Edward
Aveling of the Gas Workers and General
Laborers' Union; f. W. Wilson, Herren
Bebel and Liebknecht. socialist members Of
the German reichstag; DIR. Victor Adler,
the Austrian socialist: MN. Milleraud, La
Fargue. Jules Guesde and Jean Jaures,
socialist members of the French chamber
of deputies, and others. The speakers de-
clared that the masses of the people did not
desire war, which, they said, was only pro-
voked by the rulers and the capitalists The
names OF Emperor William, DIR. Jameson
and Cecil Rhodes, when they were men,
toned by the speakers, were Kissed by the
few auditors.
Simultaneous resolutions were declared
carried at twelve platforms in favor Of in
ternational arbitration. of the eight-hour
law, of universal suffrage, and of other
measures advocated by the socialists, and
denouncing "the greed of the ruling priv
ileged classes. who provoke wars in order
to control the markets of the world in their
own interests
1t was further declared that In order to
insure peace the abolition Of the capitalist
and the landlord systems is necessary.

According to Information received at the

blow. The court-martial which tried Cadet

Tough next year. After the cadets return to
barracks Rand will also be obliged to walk

noon, while the rest of the cadets are at
liberty.
Rands severe sentence has struck terror
into the hearts CT all the would-be hazers.
The evidence did not directly connect him
with the hazing of the two ''plebes,' and
he made a strong defense to substantiate
his derial. His sentence may also interfere
with his class standing. He Ia at present

IN DOUBTFUL STATES
Value Of Populistie Endorsement in
the Ohio Valley.
TIE REAL BATTLE GROUND THIS YEAR
Election Returns of the Past That
Bear on the Future.
PERCENTAG STRENGTH

Just now the practical politicians are
seriously debating the question: What will
be the real effect in November of the action
of the populists in seconding the nomina-
ton Of Bryan?
Usually the Endorsement of a candidate
by third party is a great aid to him. 1t
may mean the carrying Of many close
states. and hence 1t may secure for him the
final victory. 1t is a serious problem
whether this will be the result in Mr.. Bry-
ans case, for certain peculiar reasons.
Were the election to rest with the people
of such now truly doubtful states as Ne
braska, California, Missouri, Kansas, Colo
rado and other communities in the mining
region. where the free silver movement
started. the Endorsement Of the populists
would certainly go far toward making
Bryan President. But the republican man
ayers have greatly discounted the cam
paign in these states by basing their cal
culations for victory on New England. New
York. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland,
Delaware. West Virginia. Ohio, Indiana,
consin and perhaps Kentucky. Should they
carry all of these states their candidate
would have 249 of the 442 electoral votes,
or u more than a majority They there
Tore trim off Kentucky and West Virginia,
losing ~ votes, and still claim go in the

This necessitates the carrying of such
states as Michigan. Indiana and Illinois,
which may be considered as fair fighting
ground for the combined forces favorable
to free silver

Thus the real battle field Is almost sure

the populistic Endorsement in those states.
and not what it Is worth in the far west
and In the south. To answer that question
would be feat in prophecy. To guess at
the answer Is merely to echo the claims of
the party managers. Therefore the best
way out OF the woods at this stage of the
campaign is to glance at the past and see
the strength of the populist vote in former
elections In these states. Such a considera-
t1on must lie wholly outside Of the possi-
bilities OF bolts from the two great parties.
Tree silver republicans voting for Bryan

the fusion movement in these debatable
states. irrespective Of the changes in old
party lines caused by new issues
For instance, take Kentucky According
to the returns Of the last three elections
held In that state the populists have prac-
lcaiiy ceased to be a factor in the cam
paigns. The following table illustrates this
1act more forcibly than words:

Thus it is apparent that in Indiana only

In Illinois, 1T will be seen, the populist
vote has increased rot only In actual num-

strength But in 1894 fusion with the
democrats would not have defeated the re-
publican ticket, nor would fusion with
the republicans in 1892 have beaten the
democrats. 1t would seem as though a
