CARLISLES POSITION.
The Secretary Not a Candidate for
the Presidency.
ANXIOUS ABOUT THE PLATFORM
While Not Authorizing His Friends to Pre-
sent His Name to the Democratic Con-
vention. He Urges Care In the Declara-
ton of Party Principles.

ton OF rarity Principles.
WASHINGTON, April 6.-Secretary Car
Isle haswritten the following letter on the
subject of his candidacy for the presiden-
tial nomination at the Chicago conven-
ton. 1t is addressed to Charles r. Long,
chairman of the Democratic central COM
mittee of Kentucky.
Your favor of March 80, in which you
say, in substance, that many of my friends
In kentucky and elsewhere desire me to
become a candidate before tho approach
ing national Democratic convention for
nomination for the Office of president, and
requesting me to give some authoritative
or definite expression" upon the subject,
was duly received, and has been maturely
considered
Many communications upon the same
subject and of similar import have been
received from friends in different parts Of
the country, and while very grateful for
these numerous expressions of confidence
and esteem upon the part of my Demo
cratic fellow citizens, have not been able
to reach the conclusion that tho existing
conditions require me to comply with
their requests by authorizing them to an
nounce me as candidate for the presi-
dental nomination.
While / feel "A profound interest in the
welfare of my party, / am much moro
concerned about its declaration of princi
pies than in its selection of candidates, be-
cause, in my opinion, its failure or success
at the election, as well as its capacity for
useful service in the country in the future
depends upon the position it takes or omits
to take upon the public questions now
engaging the attention of the people. and
especially the questions affecting the mon
ctary system of the country and the char
acter and amount of taxation to DO i'm
posed upon our citizens.
Its position upon these and other sub
Jects having been agreed upon, and clearly
and distinctly announced, the convention
ought to have no difficulty in selecting an
acceptable candidate who will fairly rep
resent its views, and in order that it's de-
alterations may be embarrassed rs little
rs possible by the contentious of rival as
pirants and their friends think my duty
TO the party will be best performed by de-
Ginning to participate in contest for the
nomination
The obligation assumed when / &C.
copied my present official position require
me to devote my entire time and attention
to the public interests committed to my
charge, and shall continue to discharge
tho duties imposed on mo to the best of
my ability and in such manner as will, in
my Judgment, most certainly promote the
true interests of the country; and If, in the
opinion of my fellow Democrats in Ken
lucky, my services cntitlo me to their
commendation and approval / would re-
gard their Endorsement of my public
course rs an ample reward for tho little
have been able to accomplish in behalf
OF honest administration and a sound
financial policy

change in capes for summer use. They

hitherto, they arc to be cut up in one
place, heightened in another, elongated
into two ends in front, opened with rcvers
of silk over plated noussclinc dc sole and
fringcd with loops OF ribbon, which will
take the place of the fur tails worn during
the winter. They will be trimmed in n
point at the back and held in TO the waist
by bows. The portion falling over the
arms will consist of full lace to avoid
crushing the light sleeves of the gown be-
meath. a great deal of light fabric will
be employed, plated mousselino dc sole or
gauzc, gathered, embroidered, beaded and
otherwise elaborated. Enormous ruchcs
around tho neck will bo the rule rising to
tho cars and extending almost to tho shout

mousselino and jewclcd ornaments will
compose the trimmings.

WORLDS WINE PRODUCTION.
The United States Is Fifteenth In Point
of Importance.

The French embassy at Washington
Wine exhibition at Bordeaux, France,
the second bulletin on the wine produc-
ton of the world. 1t says that the
United States is 18th in Importance
among wine-producing countries, being
preceded by Chilli, Roumania, Servia,
Greece, Argentine Republic, Switzel'
land, and other small countries, besides
the great centers of wine product. The
Italian government has established a
wine station at New York, where the
American taste, flavor, etc, is consulted
and reported at Rome.
AS to the standing of the countries,
the bulletin says:
The reproducing centers are,
CHASING them according to their i'm
portance, France, Italy, Spain, Portu-
gal, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Rus
STA, Switzerland, Turkey, Servia, Greece,
Roumania, Argentine Republic, Chilli
the United States of America, Brazil,
Australia, Cape of Good Hope, and a few
others producing only very little. By
the side of the French production is
placed that of Algeria and Tunis, col
onies which yield about as much as the
German wine growing.
At one time Italy appeared to be
about to take the first rank; it was
after the vintage of 1886. which pro-
duced 836,0OO,0OO gallons. The eight
years preceding only yielded an average
vintage of sos, $50, 1896 gallons, whereas
in France the average during the same
period was 673 ,424, III gallons. In 1893
Italy reached 7O4,OOO,OOo gallons, but
France came up to the figure of 1,10o,-
Ooo,o of gallons, not including Algeria
and Tunis. In 1894 Italy made $685.
100000 gallons; France, 658,00O,O00 gal
Ions, without the African colonies.
