PROTECTION va WANT.
So Says Mr.. Ellis, and the Financial
Issue Is Secondary.


Hon. w. R. Ellis demonstrated to a
large audience last evening that he lacks
neither for ideas nor words. He spoke
for an hour and half with an lmpetu-
osity of language not yet approached in
this campaign. Mr.. Ellis does not pro-
pose to sidetrack his Republican prin-
ciples for a single issue. He repeated
what he said a few months ago to the
Mckinley club here that there are other
important issues to maintain which are
of paramount importance to that of the
free coinage of silver. Referring to his
coinage measure, he said that made no
difference. He may have been wrong /;
he was not here to apologize for every
individual act by every individual mem
Der of the Republican party. He may
have been wrong in the past. He did
not look behind, but before him. He
now believed that free silver, coupled
with free trade, or what is known as
tariff for revenue only would only sink
us deeper In financial distress. 'sThe
Republican party said Mr.. Ellis, sis
the only party who are real bImetalists,
for the effort to maintain bimetalism in :
dependently of the great commercial ma
tions is impossible. We are grand ma
ton, but we cannot stand against the
universe. Today we have candidate
pledged to promote bimetalism, and the
platform provides the only feasible way
to get it, through international agree
ment. England, Germany and France
are now moving in that direction, and l
believe that the plan to obtain IT
through an agreement of the nations in

Silver has been demonetized. That
is fact. There exists only q question
of when it was done. Some say it was
in 1878. But say it was done in 1884,
for that was the effect of a-law passed
through congress in that year. The Re.
publican party has done more for silver
than any party. In single year it hal

SERIOUS CHARGES.
Consul McCauEhan of Durango Called

Consul McCauEhan OF Durango Called
on to Resign.
AS a result of the inspection of Mexican
consulates by Mr.. Robert Chiffon chief
Of the consular bureau Of the State De-
partment. Mr. John s. McCaughan, United
States consul at Durango, has resigned
and the commercial agencies at Cindad
Porfirio Diaz and at Garfta Gonzales, now
in charge, respectively,reof Samuel L. Sim
mons and John F. Walls, have been closed.
The duties pertaining to these two agen-
cies will be hereafter performed by the
consuls at Piedras Negras and New Laredo,
respectively. This latter action is taken
solely in the interest Of economy and in
wolves no reflection orrithe administration
of the two retiring officials.
The resignation of Consul McCaughan,
however, was not entirely voluntary. 1t
appears that that gentleman in addition to
performing the duties Of United States
consul is also the general agent of the
Iron Mountain Foundry Company of Du-
range, and that his duties were found
to be decidedly conflicting somewhat to the
prejudice of the interests of the govern
ment. 1t is also alleged against Nc
Caughan that he used his government Of
f1ce to advance his private interests
against rival business concern, even to
the extent Of causing the arrest of several
persons connected with the latter, includ-
ing citizen of the United States named
John Bolly. All efforts to secure the re-
lease or trial Of these men. it is said.
were thwarted by the consul acting in
his official capacity.
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton of the State Department in round
about way, and Consul NC cCaughan being
called on for a report he stated that he
was doing all he could 4in the interest of
the American prisoner. On his inspection
tour through Mexico Mr. Chiffon made a
special investigation Of the case, with the
result that the department. informed Mr.
McCaughan that he would have to relin-
qulsn his government office or place his
private business in the hands of some
one else: The result Of the correspond
ence with the department vas the resigna-
ton OF the consul. It Is said that Bolly
and his companions: have been already
kept in prison for sixteen months without
an opportunity to disprove the charges
upon which they were arrested at the in
stance of Consul McGaMgtan

TO Star reporter Warden Leonard
stated today that Ford maintains his 81

then only after being addressed. His ap-
petite, said Mr.. Leonard, continues good

physical strength, the prison officials are
somewhat apprehensive that when the
supreme moment arrives when he Is told
that the hour Of his death has come his
courage will fail him, and his exit from
this life will be a cowardly one.
The murderer is daily visited by his
spiritual adviser, the Rev. John Roberts,
the colored evangelist, and receives much
comfort end consolation from the min
ister's visits. Ford's wife and child also
visit him about every day. He processes
the day of his execution, and declares that
he Is truly penitent, and believes that God
will forgive him.
Warden Leonard Is being besieged for
tickets Of admission to the execution, but
1t Is said that he will strictly obey the law,
and keep the number of spectators down to
the very limited number allowed by law.

Bob Cook Resolved to Root Out the
Eaulfa.

Faults.
HENLEY, England, June 20.-The morn
ing was dull and cloudy, with occasional
sprinkling of rain. The Yale crew was UP
early and mustered at the boat house by 10
o'clock. All were in fine condition. Trinity
Hall occupies the same boat house as the
Americans, and when the latter entered
their shell the English crew crowded near
to the water in order to watch the start.
The bridge was lined with spectators and
many experts were noticed timing the Yale
men. They pulled down stream and turned
and went toward Temple Island. Bob"
Cook coached them on horseback and was
accompanied by Armstrong, who rode
bicycle. The start was made with a twen-
ty-four stroke. which was increased when
rearing the island. A strong wind was
blowing and the water was rough.
Owing to the weather conditions the
Yale crew hugged the Berks shore. The
coaching consisted of urging the men TO
dip deeper and keep their blades buried.
Bob Cook was terribly In earnest and
frequently shook his riding whip and shout
ed to the oarsmen, crying: "Langford, keep
your oar down. mo. 3, you are very
slovenly!''
Later the crew went behind Temple Is
land, where Mr.. Cook exercised them on
the fine points in short stretches, and the
men returned to the boat house with q
twenty-five stroke.

The latest and most important plan to

resolution himself. and says that this would
be satisfa ctory to the Silver men Of the
west: Another plan is to give the populists
or silver men the vice presidential nomina-
tion. With the vice presidency and the
treasury portfolio it is believed there would
be no ground for kicks from any quarter

Thus it is seen that there are fourteen
doubtful seats in the Senate as regards
the complexion of the upper house in the
F'ifty-fifth Congress. On the republican
side these seats are now held by Brown of
Utah, Hansbrough of North Dakota,
Mitchell of Oregon, Perkins of California,
Pritchard of North Carolina and Squire of
Washington. On the democratic side the
seats which may be classed as doubtful
are these occupied at present by Blackburn
of Kentucky, Hill of New York, Palmer Of
Illinois, Vest of Missouri, Villas of Wiscon-
sin and Voorhees, of Indiana In addition
PETER, the former of South Dakota and the
1897, are generally considered as doubtful
making total of these uncertain seats of
six on the republican side, six on the demo-
cratic and two among the populists.
What the Republicans Must Do.
According to this computation, the re-
publicans are now practically assured of
thirty-six seats in the Senate in the first
session of the Fifty-fifth Congress, the
democrats are quite as practically certain
of thirty-one, and the silverites, to use the
general term applied to both populist and
republican boilers, eight seats. Without
regarding the vacancy in Delaware, which
may be filled by either party, the Senate
will consist of eighty-nine members and
with that seat filled, ninety members In
the former case forty-five votes will be
necessary to a majority, and in the latter
case forty-six. On the basis of full Sem
ate Of ninety members, therefore, the re-
publicans must gain ten seats out of the

BOTH SIDES APPEAL,
The Supreme Court to Review the
Highway Extension Act.


Highway Extension Act.
Case 4l9, Denison' and Leighton's sub
division of Mt. Pleasant, the first of the
act was today started on its way to the
United States Supreme Court by appeals
noted by both the District Commissioners
and by Mr.. b. F. Abbott, one of the land
owners
The Court of Appeals, 1t will be remem-
bered, decided in the case several weeks
ago that while there could be under the
act no assessment for special or general
benefits the law is in other respects con-
stitutional and valid. Thereupon, Judge
Cox, before whom the case was tried, en-
tered a decree in conformity with the de-
cision of the appellate court, directing the
condemnation of the various parcels of
land included within the case, and ordering
the payment of the award, less of course
the assessments for special and general
benefits Congress, however, adjourned
without making an appropriation for the
payment of the awards allowed in the case
and counsel for Mr. Abbott, owner of lot
81, desiring to test the validity of the act
decided to note an appeal, that eventually
the United States Supreme Court might
pass upon the conStitutipnality and vali6i-
ty of the law.
That being decided upon by Mr. Abpott's
counsel, Mr.. Nathaniel Wilson, the District
Commissioners directed their counsel to
also note an appeal, that every question
iaised in the case the matter of special
and general benefits included, might be
passed upon in the appeal from the Court
OF Appeals to the United States Supreme
Court, which will follow, as matter of
course. Hence, both sides having now ap-
pealed. it is believed that the case can be
taken to the Supreme Court in time for
decision before the 1st of next January
Certainly, 1t is believed by both sides, in
time to allow Congress to appropriate the
required amount, should the law be sus-
tanned, before its adjournment the 4th Of

Maryland Democratic Leaders An.
iOus About Chicago.


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, June 20.-The ac ton
of the st. Louis convention. and specula-
tions as tc what will be done by the demo-
Gratis at Chicago. are the topics discussed
in local political circles, and all degrees of
opinions and predictions are to be heard.
The republicans are undoubtedly highly
satisfied with the platform and the NOM
nations, and are confident of carrying the
state next fall for Mckinley and Hobart by
substantial majority, and, while many
democrats are not inclined to discuss the
situation until after their convention, they
freely admit that indications point toward
an uphill fight to keep Maryland In their
partys column.
CONGRESSMAN Coffin Of the fifth district
when seen by The Star correspondent this
with McKinleys nomination. and felt sure
the ticket would sweep the state. The
Maryland delegation is expected home this
evening. and great preparations are under
way today to give them a rousing welcome
The local republican political organizations
will be on hand to receive at the sta
ttcn, and both the Young Mems Republican
Cub and the Columbian Club will be
thrown open throughout the evening, and
at the latter Mr.. William T. Malster will
be rendered levee by his friends and ad-
mirers.
All eyes are ncw of course, turned on
the city and state are undoubtedly anxious
as to the outcome. The hope of the lead
ers is that eX-Secretary Whitney may sue
ceed in securing the adoption of a gold
platform, and that his own nomination
may follow. This alone. in the real opin-
ion of many democrats, will keep the state
in line.
Ex-Congressman Raynor, in commenting
upon the situation to The Star correspond
ent today said: IF the Chicago convention
adopts a gold platform: that is to say. no
straddle and no compromise. but gold
straight. and Whitney is nominated upon
this platform, then we will have, in NV
opinion, a triumphal march"
This opinion is shared by the majority of
the democratic business men. who believe
that the money plank in the two platforms
being the same, Mr.. Whitney will prove
more acceptable to the business world
than Major Mckinley. The nomination { f
the ex-Secretary and the adoption OK gold
plank, however, is scarcely expected by the
local democracy. and many have alrea ly
begun to debate whether they will prefer
voting for republican to keeping away
from the poles ON election day,
