DRIVE OUT SILVER MEN.
Secretary CRrlisle's Advice to IL
Two Larger Parties.

Secretary Carlisle's Advice to the
Two Larger Parties.
Secretary of the Treasury John G. Car
Isle, at conference in New York yester-
day with bankers and brokers represent
ing the chamber of commerce committee
on financial legislation, made the follow
ing suggestion as a plan to be pursued by
the committee:
Devote all possible efforts to persuading
the republican and democratic national
conventions to adopt anti-free silver plat
forms, thus forcing the free silver advo-
Gates into Independent action"
In discussing his plan, Mr.. Carlisle said
that, in his opiricn, the chief point to be
advocated now by those favoring gold
basis Is that positive declaration on the
silver question be made by the dominant
parties.
He pointed out that the only hope for
the silver people is in straddle by either
the democrats Or the republicans and
urged that the chamber of commerce could
do much to otmpel the adoption of
straightforward gold standard planks at
both the St. Louis and Chicago conven-
tions.
This significant declaration from the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury and possible demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency was
made at a conference he had at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel yesterday with Henry w.
Cannon. president of the Chase National
Bank; George G. Williams. president of the
Chemical National Bank; Isadore Straus,
Gustav H. Schwab. Louis Windmuller,
John P. Townsend, Henry Hentz, ]. Ken
needy Tod and Charles Stewart Smith.
All are members of a special commit
tee financial legislation, appointed by
the chamber of commerce nearly year
ago, to wage war against free silver.
Secret Conference.
The conference was held in secret in Sec
rotary Carlisle's room. 1t lasted an hour
and a half. No time was lost in discussing
what the present Congress may or may
not do Mr.. Carlisle first asked about the
possibility Of further drainage of the re-
serve. He was told that the conditions are
favorable for preventing big exports tons
of the yellow metal, and that if crops are
good, there may be even an influx of gold
The chief danger, 1t was pointed out, is
In the money market, and it was argued
that the bankers will so control it that
danger will be averted. The recent bond
issue was discussed, and it was evident
from Mr.. Carlisle's converse ton that the
administration Is anxious to avoid another
issue.
Then the fiEanciers branched off into a
dis cussiOn of what the chamber of COM
merce financial committee has done and
intends to do This committee was ap-
pointed as a result of resolution intro
duced by Gustav H. Schwab.

STORY OF THE RAID.
One of JnlQesOn's Troopers Tells of
the Now Famous FOray.

One of Japeson's Troopers Tells of
the Now Famous FOrny.
A man named O'Dea. one of the men who
accompanied DR.. Jameson on his raid into
the Transvaal in South Africa, and who
landed at Plymouth, England, from Port
Natal Sunday, has been interviewed
He said that the impression among the
men of the object of the expedition was the
protection of the women and children in
Johannesburg. He belonged to the ad-
vance troop and never saw DR.. Jameson
again from the time of leaving Mafeking
He supposes that Jameson rode in the
middle of the troop. The men hurried for
ward riding at the rate of ten miles an
hour, with not more than five hours rest
in two days. They We're sometimes able to
get snatcheS of sleep on horseback. They
had sufficient rationS to last them until the
evening of the second day.
A party of fifty Beers met them and be-
gan desutory fire upon them, to which
Jamesons followers replied. They had sew
eral skirmishes with Beers before reaching
krugersdorp, where the Beers succeeded in
enticing Jameson's forces from the shelter
ed hillocks into the open veldt, while they
themselves remained under cover.
O'Dea expressed his belief that Jameson
himself hoisted the white flag. Anyway, if
he did not personally hoist 1t, the flag was
raised by his order When the Jameson
rounds of ammunition, and many of the
others had not exhausted their supply.
After the surrender, he said, the men were
fairly we'll treated. They were taken to Pre-
toria, where they were corralled on the Pre-
toria race course They were allowed loaf
of bread and quarter of pound Of meat
a day for each man.
At first he believed that all of the officers
of the expedition. and the non-commission-
ed officers with the rank and file, were to
be shot. He heard afterward that the
volksraad had rejected proposal to shoot
them by a majority of two. Eventually the
men were taken to Port Natal, where they
were free from the moment they went on
board the Harlech Castle.
O'Dea said it was his intention to visit
Boston, Mass, and later to return to the
service of the British South Africa Com
pany. In the course of his converse ton he
alluded to several of his comrades, mention
ing Cawston Of New York and Morgan of
Montana.

was called. will be seen about the Camp
no mere for several years. He is a little
colored boy, five years old, and is very
small for his age. About the Camp" he
was known by all the residents and he
was always at home wherever he stopped.
His mother, Lizzie Streets, lived on Wilson

that the police raided her room last night
and arrested her. She was tried for keep
ing disorder1y house. and was sentenced
10 thirty days in Jail. Then Agent Park
man of the board of children's guardians
asked that the boy be turned ever to the
board.
Mike" stepped forward and seemed as
we'll pleased with Agent Parkman as he
was with his own mother. 1t matters not
to him whether he was sent back home or
10 some institution, for he said all he
wanted was good eatin'
Judge Miller said he realized that his
surroundings in the Camp were unfit for
him, ard that he should be sent to a place
where he would be properly looked after
He was turned over to Agent Parkman
and his mother left him without a word
and did not even kiss him farewell

quiring a license for dealers in second
hand personal property.
There was jury trial in the case, which
was brought to get decision as to whether
or not the law applied to such a case.

but he thought the law should be explicit
enough to enumerate the articles

defendant was not fined. He said he would
comply with the law, and the case ended.

II there is weak spot in the body, dis
ease germs will find it. They will lodge
right in that spot and unless they are
driven out at once, will increase and
multiply and grow into seriousness.
Weakness is predisposition to disease.
Whether the weakness be local or gen.
eral, it is dangerous. Good healthy
strength all over the body is the best
safeguard against disease. Debility of
any kind is a direct invitation to serious
sickness. The reason that DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures oS per
cent of all cases of consumption if taken
in the early stages of the disease, is that
1t puts the whole body into a hearty,
healthy condition. The poisonous tuber-
cular matter is thrown off by the
lungs. and the pure, rich blood cours-
ing through them, quickly stops the
inflammation, heals the broken men,
ranes and makes the lungs perfectly
trong and sound. Consumption is
marked by wasting away of the bodily
tissues and vice versa. A wasting of the

Hold the Cotton Crop.

No cotton should be placed in mar
ket this year until November, at which
time the price of the staple will become
settled. The short crop naturally sug-
gests high price. but something may
occur to improve the financial outlook,
and there is also possibility that some
thing may happen to complicate the
financial situation and unsettle prices.
The result of the presidential election
will have specific influence on cotton as
well as all other farm products. The
adoption of new coinage system will
cause readjustment of prices in all
raw material and manufactured goods.
If the price of cotton advances the pro-

tiers are pressed for money. Their cred
itors should be not only lenient but
merciful. 1t is in the power of store
keepers and money lenders to force
cotton producers to rush cotton into
market now while prices are unsettled,
but that power should not be invoked.
Give the farmer and the planter a
chance at the profits. A change of the
monetary policy Of the country is the
political issue this year. Prices will
not be established until the November
election is passed. Confidence will be
either restored or unsettled by the re-
suit. In the meantime cotton buyers
stand on the safe side. They will
make profit on either an advancing or
declining market, consequently they
pay a low price. They have an eye
both to prosperous and unsettled condi-
lions. At no period in the history OF
the country were producers more COM
pletely at the mercy OF spectators.
The only safety of the cotton producer
lies in his ability to hold cotton back
till after election.
