HARVEY'S PLAN.
Would Combine All of the Silver
Forces.
Cabinet Appointments to be Made
All Up Beforehand.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 2s-A special from
Ashland, Wis, says:
"W. II. Harvey in an interview here said
My plan is to combine the silver forces oi
the United States. am trying to combine
the democrats, silver republicans and popri-
lists, and, have suggested the following plan
to the leaders of the parties:
'For president on the democratic ticket
Silver Dollar Bland of Missouri. If elected
give him the appointment of one cabinet
of1cer only. secretary of state. Let the
democrats indorse the populist nominee for
vlce-pr,s sident on the populist ticket, senator
Marion Butler of North Carolina.
"Let the populists indorse the democratic
nominee for president. Let Mr. Butler, If
elected, dictate the appointment of secretary
OF the INTERIOR secretary Of agriculture, sec
retary of war and secretary of the navy
"Concede to the silver republicans three
cabinet positions senator Teller of Colorado
secretary of the treasury judge Caldwell of
the L. ). circuit court attorney general and
mayor Pingree of Detroit, postmaster gem
eral.
"Ihe silver cause is desperate and we can
not beat Mckinley without the combine as
have indicated. | have suggested the plan
to Blanc and other prominent leaders. Itell
the democrats not to make their platform
too democratic. They cannot win as demo-
Gratis. but only as combined democrats.
favor of Bland for president because his
name is platform in itself Just Us Mckin-
ley's name is whole platform.
''The intention of our forefathers In estab-
fishing our electoral system was that the
electors should be elected as they are now,
and that they should then meet, and after
discussion vote for whom they wished. There
is no law compelling an elector to vote for
any man. 1t is simply custom.
"Republican electors vote for the man at
the head of the ticket, and the democrats do
the same. Now I want to tell you that if the
democrats, populists and free silver repub-
licans do not get together as I have indi-
Gated, they will ultimately combine in the
electoral college.
"For instance, if straight democratic
electors are elected in the South, silver re-
publican electors in Colorado and Nevada
and populist electors in North Carolina and
Kansas, these electors will unite when they
meet next winter and vote solidy for such
men as Bland and Butler.
"Pingree can carry Michigan. Teller half
a dozen western states and Caldwell can
carry Iowa and the southwest. There are
10000 republicans in Iowa who want to vote
for Caldwell. There are eight cabinet posi-
tions and their distribution in this way be-
torehand would carry eight doubtful states
for silver" -"

Other memorial windows will be given by

At 4.30 this afternoon great crowd
gathered around the historic spot at the foot
of Burial hill to witness the laying of the
corner stone. A platform had been built,
but that would not hold quarter of the
people, and all the staging and wall of the
church was thronged. On the platform were
the clergymen of the town and the speakers.
Remarks were made by Arthur Lord,
chairman of the parish committee, Edwin
D. Mead and Hon. Charles Francis Adams.
The hymn on the pilgrim fathers, written by
John Pierpont in 1881. was sung, us was one
written by Leonard Bacon. Rev. Charles p.

The United States glass combine has de-

for six weeks. 1t Is not known yet how long
the window glass works will be closed. A
date for starting has been fixed for Septem-

ual manufacturers have not definitely de-
cided whether they will shut down on alter
nate weeks. or for tho full period of four
weeks ut one time.
Some mills will shut down four full weeks
In July. while others will probably not be
stopped at all during july. but will have
their full curtailment in August. A major
lty of manufacturers appear to favor the
plan OF shutting down alternate weeks.
The Robeson mills shut down Saturday
night for an indefinite period.
1t is very generally conceded that not all
the mills in the city will stop. Fine goods
mills, such as the Granite mill, No. 3, Par
ker, Bourne (probably), King Philip. Os-
borne No. 2. aud some others, including
yarn and thread mills, will not be expected
to close their doors, while New Bedford's s
and Lowell's varied cotton industries con-
tinue to hum. The committee of the Man

duce Mr.. Borden to curtail production for
the general good of the industry, but his
views on the subject have not yet been given.
His point of observation is in New York.

OCCUPANCY OF EGYPT.
A FrancO-Russian Diplomatic Move
to Terminate it.

LONDON, England, June 3O-France has
inaugurated the expected diplomatic cam
paign against Great Britain by presenting IA
communication to lord Salisbury, through
baron de COurcel, the French ambassador,
proposing the termination of the British Oc-
cupation of Egypt within two years after the
naturalization of Egypt, no one power to
exercise an armed protectorate over the
country without the others assent.
This form of condomnum of which much
is certain to be heard in the future, has the
support of Russia. and is the subject of
active negotiations between France and the
other powers. 1t is understood that lord
Salisbury, with good reason, relies upon
Austria, Germany and Italy backing Great
Britain in so prolonging the negotiations as
to practically defeat the Russo-French
move. The Soudan expedition is being more
