PLANS or SILVER REPUBLICANS


ssassA That they Have Ferfers:e
9mnas for the Coaveeesse'
New York. June 6-The WashinSton
correspondent Of the Journal thus teie-
graphs: ..,.
The silver Republicans In the senate
have been comforting with the De"o-
Gratis. WHO agree with them that there y
hut one issue In the coming campaign.
There 10 a distinct understandins
tween the silver Republicans and tne sil'
ver Democrats of the Senate a. TO toe
cour.e that snail be pursued by the fos-
ner NJ the St. Louis convention. One ot
tbe most prominent and active Aiv1 nc
puh,,cans Of the Senate said r-night:
ave do not intend that the st. LOUIS
convention shall straddle the silver ques-
t;on II our votes can prevent 1t. We esei-
mate that we shall have at least ten
members of the committee on resolutions.
We viii ofYer a resolution for free coin
are at the ratio Of 18 to l. on course
that will be rejected. Then the racuon
favoring 4 compromise or .straooN
Will come in with their proposition.
1.-THE Eastern states will submit tnei'
rold standard plank. When our free CON
age plank shall have been rejected w
Will throw our votes to the gold men 10
the purpose of absolutely committing
the Republican party to the gold stan
don and protest against both the golt
and the straddle platform. One or tn,
other Will be adopted. for blind maj
can see that the 16 to ratio will hav,
no chance.
after the adoption of either the golt
o. the straddle plank we will withdraw
from the convention and wait TO see whar
the Democrats at Chicago will do. Ii
they declare for free coinage, as we be
lieve they will, why then we will joir
with them and make the fight for The
supremacy of the white metal"

Some Of the enormous possibilities
of theosophy are revealed by we'd
ding which took place in New York the
other day. the formality Of marriage
ceremony having been dispensed with
for the very good reason that bride
and groom were really married by
priests of Isis In Egypt 5000 years ago
Now there Is a married life for you with
some substance to It. These inter-
esting young people say that they re-
member that original marriage cere-
mony quite distinctly, and although
they have been separated a summers
day matter of several centuries they
doubtless will. upon more fully compar-
ing notes. be able to recall other cpl
sodes OF their prolonged conjugal ex-
istence. as when they were divorced In
Assyria and Greece and Rome. Per-
haps the most important point is that
this youth and maiden. after 5000
years' experience. are anxious to stay
narried-which should certainly set
tie the question. Is marriage failure?

GOLD MEN IN CONTROL.


rhey Will Dominate tho Conveotloo st 81.
Louis.
New York. June 5-The Herald says:
The advocates Of the gold standard will
have absolute control OF the National Re
publican convention in st. Louis. They
can adopt the Indiana Plank" or 20 q
step farther and make the declaration Of
the New York Republicans part Of the
national platform. They will have 1
strong majority Of tho cc.nsas@tss=Aae pAa>r
isffinna and tho "oAss dsaen see6 aUt
be considered. tUM
These facts are made clear by careful
poll Of all the state delegations to 6t.
Louis. which has just been completed By
the Herald through Its correspondents.
The reports sent in show the gold stan
dard men will control 651 OF the 918 dele
gates. Only seventy-eight delegates were
chosen In states and territories which
adopted free silver Platforms and only
nine additional delegates are reported to
be In favor Of the white metal. The
known strength Of the silver men Is
therefore only eightyseven. The remain
Ing $50 delegates were chosen by con.
ventions which ignored or straddled the.
silver question. They are classed as
doubtful. but II all of them should vote
with the silver men the total would be
only 267, against G51 votes for sound
money. This would leave a majority of
3S4 for the gold standard.

students in line, and as many more
friends Of the students bringing up the
rear, all marching fifteen to twenty
abreast. When the band struck up popu-
lar Yale airs pandemonium relgned.
Cheering, singing and the familiar Yale
cheers were continuous from the start to
finish and the crowd thronged the streets,
making noises with horns. The line Of
march was made brilliant by red fire.
The crew had difficulty in reaching their
special car, so dense was the surging
crowd of eager students, anxious for the
last goodbye grip, but after getting
aboard they came out to the rear plat
form and amid deafening cheers and
"Auld Lang Syne" by the band the train
pulled out Of the STATION. The crew sails
from New York tomorrow morning. It
was announced by the faculty that George
Marsh OF Lansingburg, Michigan, one Of
the substitutes was disbarred from ac-
companying the varsity crew to England
on account OF low standing In his studies.
Marsh had been warned some time ago,
but he had so visibly improved that 1t

France Is learning by sharp expert
ences that she cannot make her exc
cutive responsible to the two chambers
Of double legislature. In framing her
constitution she followed America in
establishing an elective executive. but
England is making her advisers de-
pendent ON a legislative majority for
their continuance In once. Thus the
executive has neither the English
strength of heredity and continuity
nor the American Of Independence. I'm
der this system nothing has been easier
than to upset French ministry and
they have followed one another in such
rapid succession that the memory re-
fuses to be burdened with them.

Miss N. e. Braddon. writing for the
Philadelphia Bulletin, says the right
of woman to propose involves heavy
responsibility. 1t obliges the lady to
take her sweetheart to the opera, to give
him confectionery. and perhaps to sup
ply him with beer and tobacco. To do
this correctly the lady must pay the
necessary expenses, and therefore the
old way is the best and the popping
must be done by the old-fashioned man.

Key West. Fla, June "A letter has
been received here from Owen Melton,
the young American captured on the
schooner Competitor. in which he de-
scribes the barbarities practIced by Span
iards on prisoners confined in Moro castle
and Fort Cabanas. Extracts from the let
ter, which is dated Havana, June 3, fol-
low:
The world will never know the barbara
ties that are perpetrated by the Span
iards ON the suspects confined In Moro
castle and Fort Cabanas They are be-
ing tortured and shot without trial al
most daily. One May 80 Faustrino Par
DONE sixteen years of age, was captured
in the outskirts OF Havana by Spanish
guerillas and lodged in Cabanaa 1t was
suspected that the boy had been in COM
mun!cation with the insurgents
To make Pardone confess he was
stripped and suspended by the arms
while Spanish lieutenant whipped the
boy on the bare flesh with heavy whip.
Pardone's back, shoulders and breast
were soon in 4 pulp and he was shriekins
In agony. Then the oficer asked Par
done II he had done certain things, and
in his terrible pain the boy would scream
eyes, yes" This was then written as the
boys deposition, to be read before the
court when he shall be tried for rebel
lion. 1t il not likely that the boy will
ever be tried. as death will prevent.
Such things are OF daily occurrence In
the Cabanas, and at night v0Ileys OF
musketry are frequently heard. The next
day the prisoners know what these vol
leys mean when they miss the faces OF
wen-known prisoners. and from ten to
fifteen are crowded In cell. There are
several Americans in Cabanas, among
them being the Americans captured with
the schooner Competitor. Part Of these
are in one cell and part in another. julio
Sanguilly Is also imprisoned there. He Is
given a separate cell.
Numbers Of Cnbans have been found at
their homes suffering from wounds and
have been dragged away and thrown
into the dungeons of Fort Cabanas The
people in Moro are mostly 'pacifcs"-
that Is, people who were captured at
their homes ON suspicion of sympathizing
with the insurgents. These prisoners are
kept in six large vaulted cells. There are
from seventy-five to 115 in cell. The
cells are filthy and damp and the prison
ers are given nothing to sleep upon, 50
that unless they are fortunate enough to
have money or friends they are compelled
to sleep on the damp, filthy stone floor.
There are some men Of note In Moro,
among them being Ascua, who was
Maceo's guide in Western Cuba; also Ra-
fael Castro, known as "El IngleAto," or
THE Little Englishman." whom the
c1suu1arus wouFu nave snot had It mot
