to luncheon with Assistant Secretary
Rockhill, who is directly responsible for
the conduct of the consular business In
the afternoon the consul general went
over to the White House and paid his
respects to the president. His call there
was not long, so it is supposed he will see
the president again before he returns TO
his post, to discuss Cuban affairs in de-
tail.
General Lee Is absolutely uncommuni
cative as to what passed between the
president and himself, beyond the fact
that there was free and full talk regard

chief executive manifested a great deal
of interest.
General Lee expects to leave Washing
ton for his home in Stanton, Va. to-
morrow. He leaves no doubt of his in

prize as the richest reward which this
campaign has brought.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 6.-Senator Henry
NJ Teller arrived home from the cas-.
today. In an interview he said:
II don't think the Republican party
will do anything for silver during the
coming four years. The declaration OF the
st. Louis platform amounts to nothing
with limitation put upon it. Besides
that, the men who dictated the st. Louis
platform are opposed to bimetallism, in
ternationaily or otherwise. Mckinley,
it seems to me has shown by his speeches
that he would be the advocate and sup
porter of the gold standard on the ground
that il is Z. better standard than bimetal-
lism.
During the four years to come / ex-
pect to see the Republican party abandon
all pretense to a desire to secure inter-
national bimetallism and the contest will
hereafter be made between the gold stan
dard supporters and the organized hosts
of bimetallism. 1 think that four years
from now people will be sufficiently edu-
Gated to understand the danger of the
gold standard, and the party that stands
for bimetaHism in 1900 by the United
States alone will be successful.
There is no reason why we should be
discouraged. Our candidate was all We
could desire, and performed his part to
perfection. We must not look backward
but forward.
1.-The silver forces have magnificent
organization, and now, for the first time,
the fight is transferred from the silver
states to the whole country"
