MIR. Olinsted's report on the proposed
Improvement of Back Cove as it is pro-
perly called, though moro commonly
called Back Bay IenewS attention to
subject of vital Importance. The public
realth is alwags OF foremost considera-
tion,and considerations of beauty or oom-
meTcial utility are secondary. Here we
aavo an expanse Of mud flats covered
with reworage deposits and left rocking
in sun and wind at every ebb tile. Such
d condition of things lying between and
eiose by the two cities and growing worse
from year to year, cannot long continue
Without becoming menace. 1t is al
eady an eyesore, O nuisance, blot,
thing of uginess. and it threatens to be-
come pestilential. Tie problem is to ahate
the nuisance, nullify the danger and
mako the plague spot thing of beauty

municipal future is of higher Importance.
Has MIR. Olmsted fouiM the best solution
Of the problem? 1t looks so. His plan
Ill brief is to cover the flats with salt
water at all times by long dam north
Of and parallel with the ship channel,
extending from Turkeys bridge to the
village of Deering Point This dixie to
De built of material dredged from, the
iats and to have suitable inlets and out
let's; the dixie to afford sites for wharves
and commercial establishments and
eventually to make room for part of %
driveway circuit around the enclosed
water This would give salt water
lake one mile long and two thirds OF u
nile wide covering 1856 aores. 1t would
avoid interfering with the ship channel
d the tidal currents and would avoid
9he expense of dam and gates at 'rukey's
bridge. 1t would cause tho fats to lie
covered with water at all Stages of tide,
and with the proposed interceptlng sew
,rs discharging sewage into deep water in
5iie future, the nuisance and danger
would be at an end. In conjunction
with all this Mr.. Olmsted's plan is for IL
obstruction CT the boulevard along The
Daerng shore and tho acqniremens Of the
ltcassary land and suitable approaches:
md ho suggests that if annexation to
Deering is not practicable something
ike the metropolitan park system Of Hos-
son might be formed in order to carry
cut the plan. Mr.. Ollrsted's report as
we'll as Mr.. Jordan's comments should
receive the thoughtful consideration of

gold in the st. Louis platform is begin
ming to manifest itself, not only in the
far West, where it was expected, but also
in the middle West where the Republican
conventions have generally taken strong
ground in favor of tho maintenance of
the present gold standard. There seems
to be fear growing up among the Re-
pulicans that there are m any silver men
in the Republican ran ks as we'll as in
the Democratic, and that {, square toed
resolution in favor of gold will yepel
them and perhaps drive them into the
Democratic ranks. Hence there is likely
to be ut ST. Louis strong faction in
favor of some such resolution as the one
adopted four years ago, which does not
make the issue between gold and silver
at oil sharp, and to which people of all
sorts of financial views can cling without
cutting their fingers. Such On outcome
of tho convention would be disastrous to
the business interests Of the country, and
ultimately to the Republican party.
What is imperntiyely necessary now to
revive confidence is a pledge on the
part of the party that is almost certain to
guide the government for the next four
years, which is manifestly the Republi-
can party "a clear and unmistakable
pledge-that there will be NO tampering
with the standard of value during that
time. With such pledge and with
candidate who enjoys the confidence of
the public, business mon can set to work.
Without it the paralysis of uncertainty
will continue, and the prosperity which
Republican administration is expo ed
to usher in will not come. The very
worst policy imaginable is q policy OF
evasion and compromise. Temporarily
it may be successful in getting votes
but eventually it will be disastrous. The
currency question has been STAYED off
long time. It's settlement is now do
manded. But its settlement is impossi-
bio unless Republicans take a clear and
unmistakabie position in regard to it. 1t
is patriotic duty to settle this question
now, and those who best serve their
country best serve their party.

The result of the Kentucky Democratic
primaries removes all hope that the
sound money Democrats may be able to
stem the silver tide at the Chicago con-
yontion. With Kentucky on the gold
side the sound money men thought they
would have fighting chance in the ma
tioRal convention. But that delegation
was absolutely essential to thsm, and
now that it is gone irTetrievabIy-fo the
piramarle show an overwhelming major
ity for free silver-they are forced to adj
init that their defeat Is inevitable. If
the Chicago convention does not adopt
an explicit resolution in favor of free
silver coinage, it will simply be because
the silver men believe a modified resolu-
itoD will accomplish their ultima to pur-
pose better. They will have the power
to pass any resolution they see fit. In
view of this certainty of control on the
part Of the silver men the probable atti-
tudu Of the Eastern Democrats becom es
an interesting question. They have been
Go3iaring for many months past thai they
would not accept free silver, but until
very recently they have expected to be
able to control the convention. Now that
they must choose between taking the
dose the silver men shall prepare for
them AID Boiling the convention, they
are likely 10 find themselv in very
painful dilemma. The majority has
right to dictate the platform, and the sill
yer men are going TO constitute e MAORI
ty of the convention, while the people
they represent will constitute still
greater majority of the party. The gold
mon cannot attribute their defeat to
trickeFy or dishonesty of any sort. 1t will
be due simply to the feet that the ma
jority Of the party is against them.
Hence their bolt, if they inaugurate one,
will be withdrawal from the party.
The silver men will remain the regulars.

ing the highest legislative body in tht

conservative body, voting deiiberat ely
to plunge the country into confession OF
bankruptcy, for that is really what the
net would do should it become law. As
the revenues of the government are less
than its expenditures, its only resource to
NETT it's current liabilities is to borrow
and as this act aims to destroy the bor-
rowing power it aims also to destroy the
only avenue OF escape from public confes-

outrageous acts. but this deliberate plot

ITALIAN TROOPS DEcIMATED
Expedition in Africa Badly Whipped by
the Natives.

Rome, March st is reported here
today that General Beratieri command
er of the Italian forces in Africa, who
suffered another severe adverse at the
hands of Rhoans while advancing on
Abbacarima, was wounded. The Ital-
ian army was divided into three col
umns under Generals Abberrone, Ari-
mondi and Darbormida, with a brigade,
under General Enema, as a reserve.
The Italians captured the passes lead
ing to Adowa, the capital of Tigre.
General Albertone's column then adj
vanced on Abbacarima. 1t was soon af-
forwards attacked by the Rhoan army
and compelled to retreat. The other
columns were unable to render him as
sistance, as they were shortly after
wards engaged in defending themselves
against large numbers, and eventually
retired behind Reliosa.
According to the correspondents in
Africa of the newspapers, half the Ital-
ian artillery and ammunition and pro-
visions were lost Other advices report
5000 Italian soldiers killed, and among
them Generals Albertone and Darbor-
mida. This evening it is rumored that
General Paratieri when he became
aware of the full extent of the disaster
to his successor, then shot himself. At
the ministry of war this was discredit-
ed AS evening wore on and the worst
news of the Italian defeat was con-
firmed the inhabitants gave way to rage
against the government. Bands of
young men began parading the streets,
shouting Down with Crispi," but were
promptly dispersed by the police. All
the troops throughout the city were
placed under arms, and patrols of
mounted gendarmes ordered to the lead
| ing thoroughfares.
| 1t is reported this evening that the
| entire reserve of the class of 1887 is to
| be promptly modified and that the
government is taking steps to charter
a number of extra steamships to send
reinforcements to Massowah, where
according to a dispatch received here
this evening, General Baldissera ar
rived today.
| Nothing but the terrible defeat of the
Italians is talked of in the cafes an6
other public places.
The Rhoans are said to have beer
well armed with modern rifles and can
non and the entire force opposed to the
| Italians is estimated to have beer
over $4,000 men.
Rome, March st is stated that thu
ministry has decided to resign as re
suit of the popular clamor arising from
the recent defeat of the Italian force
in Abyssinis.

SPANISH ARE STILL IN A RAGE
Naval Preparations Continue - Hostile
Students Were Subdued.

Madrid, March 3.-The correspondent
of Imparciale at Havana cables that
little Importance is attached there to
the Cuban resolutions of the United
States congress. Captain General Wey-
Ter has cabled to the government say
ing that he does not need the reinforce
ments of $4,000 men which have been
offered by the government.
The marquis of Tomillas had a long
conference today with Admiral Beran-
ger, the minister of marine, at which he
offered the government all the steamers
and the coal depots Of the Transatlantic
company. The minister of marine ac-
copied this offer which will be debated
at the cabinet council to be held tomor-
row. Eight Of these steamers will be
forthwith armed and placed under the
command of the naval officers.
The students of the Madrid univer-
sity came to a decision to renew their
anti-American demonstrations today.
The rector of the university, learning
of this determination, had so of the stu
dents arrested. The result has been that
the good order of the city Las not been
disturbed today. All the Spaniards who
have been acting as consuls Of the Uni
ted States have resigned.

A WHEAT ELEVATOR BURNED
Contained over One Million Bushels OF
a Prime Cereal.

Minneapolis, March 2.-Elevator A,
owned by the Minneapolis Terminal Co.
and operated by G. w. Van Dusen,
burned this morning, and is a total loss
There were 1915, 900 bushels Of wheat in
the building, mostly No. / northern,
worth about $S00.00U
The spouts were opened and great
quantity ran out on the ground, so a
salvage of about 10 cents bushel is
probable.
The building cost s25o.000, making the
total loss in the neighborhood of $780,
600. The insurance covers the loss.
The west wall of the elevator is now
standing. 1t will be some weeks before
the fire in the smouldering heap OF
wheat goes out. The fire department
was successful against heavy odds In
protecting the huge twin elevator Al,
which was threatened several times.
The insurance on the grain in the 80
companies foot $4,000.
The largest single insurer is the In
demnity Exchange of Kansas City,
which wrote s175,00o
1t is believed that the wheat salvage
will amount to 80 or 40 per cent, in
which case the total loss will amount
to but half million. While the build
ing cost $250,O00 to build, 1t can be dupli-
Gated for half that amount.

States His Position.
FOR INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT
lie thinks the United States Are Large
Enough for TWO Salvation
Armies.

New York, March 1.-Ballington
Booth, ex-commander of the Salvation
Army in the United States. gave a
statement tonight which is in part as
follows:
Being continually pressed ON all
sides to state definitely what action
will take, desire to make known our
present position. God has called us to
work for Him. We dare not, therefore.
remain idle. We have also at heart
the interests of our country which SO
loudly calls to us to continue our mis-
sion.
Seeing that the people OF the United
States, in an urgent and unmistaka-
BILE manner, have voiced their desire
that we should inaugurate a movement
affording us an opportunity to continue
our labors for the uplifting of the I'M
churched and unchristian people of our
country, and as there appears to be no
alternative between this course and re-
firing from public service, we have de-
cided on the former course of action.
1T is furthest from our desire that a
new and independent movement should
be hostile to the one that we have Ia
bored so long and hard to uplift. The
United States, with it's vast and ever
increasing population, should offer am
pie room for such efforts without UNI
christian warning.
I'VE can not at this juncture, over
done in body and overstrained in nerve.
give out the date when we shall resume
public work"
