craft made upon the reserve to pay the
running expenses of the nation. More

SENATOR BUTLER.s PLAN.
Aiming to Place the POpulist Party
ta the Fr0nt.


tn the Frsnt.
II the popu!ists of the country follow Sen
| ater Butler w. ]. Bryan will not be the
nominee four years from now OF the same
forces he was this year. Senator Butler, in
his North Carolina paper last week. and az
indicated In an interview In The Star last
week, serves not!ea on Mr.. Bryan that If he
expects to head the forces of the populists
party in the next fight he will have to do SO
under some other name than that of
democrat."~ The Senator then proceeds to
score the democrats a. treacherous and
says the peoples party is done with them.
Senator Buffers course, followed closely
by representatives of The Star, indicates
that he Is playing for ho1ors In 1900, and
that he is beginning campaign to place
the populfst party at the head Of whatever
fight is made four years from now. He
wants to he ahead Of tho democrats in
whatever IL done. and he II now trying to
induce Mr.. Bryan and a host Of other demo-
cratic leaders with popuastic tendencies to
break away from their party by threaten
ing that the populist party Will never again
supportaa democrat for office.
Senator Buffers policy is suggestive to
many ardent b!metall:sts, 1t Is alleged, that
II the fight four years from now is on the
question of b!metallsm there win not be as
strong fusion as there was this time. The
same alignment will never exist again, and
many silver men say the silver cause Is
conditions will never be such will permit
as strong an alliance as existed this year.
and that If this alliance could not win there
will be no chance for less strong elements.
Mr.. Butler may not mean all he says. He
may be trying a bluff game to strengthen
his party. He may have found 1t neces-
sary to take this course since the cam
paign to, appease those populists who diff
fered from him in the campaign that is
over. - -
Mr.. Buffers latest abuse of the demo-
cratic party may effect the senatorial situa-
tion in North Carolina. 1t has been sup
populist rather than see Senator Pritchard
returned to the Senate. Such talk as the
Senator now indulges in win make a union
Of democrats and popuiists impossible. and
will give the republicans the better Of the
popuksts when the election Of Senator is
reached.

No Visible Indications Of Preparations for an
0utburst of Hostilities.
Government officials Deprecnte the
Spain and This Country.

There are no visible indications at the
State. War or Navy Departments today of
preparations for an outbreak of hostilities
on the part of Spain or other foreign coun-
try against the United States, and public
affairs in those departments are apparently
keeping the even tenor of their way. This
peaceful state of affairs on the surface. Is
not SO significant might be supposed,
however, even If a warike demonstra-
tion were anticipated, the military author
tiles would avoid doing anything which
might indicate that they anticipated such a
thing. Nevertheless, II is true that the
activity observable in the army and navy
bureaus when war was imminent with
Chile over the Baltimore affair is strangely
absent just at present, Notwithstanding
newspaper reports to the effect that the
country is on the brink of war with Spain.
Relations More Amicable Than "a
Year Ago.
Moreover. It is guardedly stated by some
of the subordinate officials CT the State
Department that the relations between
Spain and the United States are or much
more amcable footing now than they were
a year ago. when Congress passed the joint
resolution for the Intervention of the
United States TO bring about a speedy ter
mination of hostilities In Cuba. II is fur
ther stated that President Cleveland ad-
heres to his policy of neutrality and nom
Intervention, and is not yet prepared to
recognize the beligerency OF the insur-
gents, much less their Independence. while
affairs on the island remain In their pres
cnt unsettled state. Whether this policy
will be changed or not. II is said. will de-
pend entirely upon the developments OF the
future, ard in view of the alleged active
Spanish advances upon the insurgents IL is
intimatrt' not unlikely that radical
change In the situation may occur within
the next few weeks.
VIII Do Nothing to Provoke War.
The authorities depracare the Efforts of
certain persons in the United States to
foment strife between Spain and the United
States. and one high official said II could
be accepted as fact that the present ed
mfnstration Will do nothing to provoke a
war with Spain, account of anything
that has yet occurred. and that if Eostil:-
ties should result II will he because of some
overt act on the part of Spain. He added
that as the Spanish people seem to think
they are more than match fer the United
States. il follows, in the event of war. that
they would not be suhluel without a deter
mined struggle, involving great loss OF life
and a vast expenditure Of money. a result
not likely to add TO the popularity Of the
ruling party in Spain. He did not ,;ay that
such was not the policy of the Spanish
government. but 1t was hard for him 10 be
lfeVa that they We're prepared to make
such a terrible sacrifice merely TO deceive
the populace as to the real cause Of tNe.r
failure to overcome the insurgents in Cuba

the Maine COnrressmnn
Special Dispatch / The Evening Star.
LEWISTON, Me-, November 16-A lead
ing republican informs the correspondent of
Ihe Star that Representative Charles
boutelle desires a place in the cabinet of
MCKINLEY. and that he will receive it. 1t is
remembered that in the campaign of 1894
Major Mckinley went to Bangor. Mr.
Boutelle's home, and delivered a speech.
which was sent broadcast over the country
and that the Maine Congressman. throueb
MS newspaper, has always been ardent in
his support of the President t-elect AL
though Mr.. Boutelle gave Speaker Reed a
perlunctory support in his canvass for the
nomination for the presidency it was well
Understood that at heart he was in favor of
Mckinley, and was highly pleased that the
great Maine leader was defeated and the
ONO man nominated. Mr. Reed would not
accept place in the cabinet in the ,ncom-
ing administration even if it was offered to
MIN, and Representative Dingley prefers
the Craftsmanship of the ways and means
committee to the Secretaryship of the
Treasury. Therefore, if Mr. BouteIie really
wishes for the position of Secretary of the
Navy, there is no ambition of any of his
colleagues to stand in his way. Mr.. Bou-
telle's greatest ambition is to succeed Mr..
Hale as United States Senator, but that
gentleman has so large and enthusiastic a
following that Mr.. Boutelle cannot sup
plant him so long as he cares to retain his
seat in the Senate. 1t need not surprise
any one If Mr.. Boutelle is offered a cabinet
position and that he accepts 1t.
