POLITICAL POT.
Has Begun TO seethe Right Merrily
sn 10 Western States.
MKINLEY ON INSIDE TRACK
With Senator Allison Close
Upon His Heels.

WAsHIYGTos, March 1s. - Chairman
Garter, the arch.silycrite OF the senate has
sometimes been set down as Reed man.
This Is an error. Ho was asked yesterday
his opinion OF the Mckinley candidacy,
and, as chairman OF the national com
mittee, his Views arc Of interest:
UNLESS MIR, Mckinley's friends can per-
suado him TO withdraw, ms did General
HARRISON" said he. II am afraid those
gentlemen who think they can nominate
somebody else II given fair field, will
have little mental reposc.
"The effort TO arrest tho progress of Nc
Kinley's candidacy by charging his
friends with paying their ordinary ex-
penses will prove futile. Mr.. Hanna has
displayed marked weakness In dignifying
these charges by any attempt at denial.
The money Is being used for legitimate
purposes, and, IL n campaign is to be con-
Quoted at oil, 10 Is infinitely better to pay
the expenses than TO repudiate them.
The only issue upon which McKinley's
candidacy can be tried Is that OF extreme
as against conservative protection The
raising up of favoflte sons and the ques-
tion of Mark Hanna's travelling expense
are puerilo, aud the national convention
. will not condemn Mckinley on that nc
count.
If the party feels disposed to commit
itself 10 extreme protection, McKinley's
nomination cannot bo prevented, but IL
the conservative idea prevails on q square
issue his domination is impossible"
From now on the battle will wage
warmer for no fewer than ls2 votes In the
convention will be decided within the
next two weeks. These will be "a from
Wisconsin, which will hold its convention
on the 18th; ~ from New York, which
will meet on the 2ith; 80 from Texas and
is from Minnesota, which will instruct
on the 26th; from South Dakota and 80
from Massachusetts,, which VIII hold their
conventions on the eth or these ls2.
Morton will certainly start of with the
~ from New York and Reed will follow
with the 10 from Massachusetts, and with
u division OF the Texas vote with Nc
Kinley. Wisconsin may not instruct.
Minnesota will split between Morton.
Reed and Mckinley, with a slight predi-
lection for Reed.
So that, on the whole, 80 would seem as
II, in the standard and stable states, Nor
ton, Reed and Mckinley would emerge at
the end Of March with such division OF
delegates rs would indicate not merely "a
battle royal In other states, bur guaran.
tee that the St Louis convention wohld bc-
alengthy and exciting one. Iu will not be
the field against Mckinley, but every one
for himself

GARBLED BOOK.
London NAronicle's Latest Attack In
Venezuelan Matter.
A GOOD CASE TO ARBITRArE.
British Statement Full Of "Mis-
leading MarvelS."

LONDON, March 12.--Another attack on
by the government is made by The Daily
Chronicle, which contends that the state
ments that the claim to territory in the
interior Is based upon the fact of posses
sion and occupation by the Dutch in the
18th century are dlsproved by the very
references To the documents cited.
The Chronicle expresses fear that the
entire case will be yltiated by the assump-
ton that the Dutchmens rowing descents
upon the coasts aud rivers OF the territory
claimed constitute effective occupation.
The article announces The Chronicles
intention TO deal, in detail, on March l3,
with a grave disclosure. which it now
mentions brl.lly, viz: That tho prelimi-
nary statement OF the British case con-
tains the following:
"A formal report.was sent home to The
Centurion In April. 177o. containing,
among Others, tho following important
statement: we have no fort on the
Cuyuni,
Nor Had We Ever One There.
Our two forts are nothing more than viii
lages OF missions on the' northern bank Of
the Yuruary.'"
The article states that The Ccnturion's
report, perhaps the most important docu-
,ment in the blue book, contains no such
sentences rs the foregoing. and that tho
supposed quotation of il is simply an In.
accurate version, garbled for Sie purpose
OF giving support 10 the compier's case.
The pnrport OF Tho Ccnturon's dispatch
was largely To the effect that the Dutch
did not hold anything on the Cayuni ex-
cept settlement at its mouth, where IL
Joins the Esscqubo.
The Chronicle article contends that five
supposed quotations in the preliminary
statement Of the British case are inaccu-
rate ana misleading marvels. and asks
"When we have good enough case to
arbitratc why try to prove more than wo
can maintainy"
