DunraYerl'S Csie

New YORK, Jan. 1.-THE World tomor-
row will say: 1t was learned last night
from member of the New York Yacht
club, who is in position to know, that
copy Of the report of the committee that
has investigated Lord Dunraven's charges,
having been placed in the hands of Com
modore Edward M. Brown yesterday, the
commodore, it is said, will call meeting
of the club at which the report will be read
to the members.
"Whle the decision is adverse to Lord
Dunraven, it censures him only mildly for
bringing the charges. This, it was said,
will not be satisfactory to most of the
members of the club, who feel very bitter
against the Valkyrie's owner. There is
small chance of the report being made
the committee wishes to have it published
simultaneously on both sides of the At
lantic.''

truth in the story which has reached here
from Caracas via New York that another
British expedition, with two cannon, has

taken to send troops to the frontier. and no
such steps are contemplated.
The Chronicle hears that certain unof.
fetal advances have been made between
London and Washington with reference to
Venezuela, but is unable to confirm the re-
port.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 17.-Cardinal Satoli

upon to offer the services of the pope. This
is the answer given at the residence of the
cardinal, in response to inquiries as to the
report in the London Chronicle. The pope

THE FLYING SQUADRON.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE cable report
today from Portsmouth, England, whence
the British flying squadron is about to sail.
that it's destination may be the Bermudas,
cannot be confirmed in any official quarter
here. The British squadron already at
and about the Bermudas consists of six
teen ships. Should the Portsmouth re-
port be true it would increase this squad
ron to twenty-six ships. or twenty-eight,
including six torpedo catchers. It is
doubtful if Great Britain would send such
a powerful fleet into American waters at
this time, when their presence almost GER
tainly would be regarded as q hostile dem
onstration, and certainly not called for as
long as diplomacy has not yet exhausted
it's resources in settlement of the differ
ences between the United States and Great
Britain.
LONDON, Jan. 17.-All the morning
papers this morning published the report
which was cabled to the Associated Press
that the flying squadson will go to Ber-
muda. No official confirmation of this re-
port is probable.

MCKINLEY THE MAN.

At four o'clock yesterday morning
The GAZETTE bulletins announced the
pleasing news that Mckinley was sure
of election, having over 27O electoral
votes and probability of over 800.
The election of Mckinley means a
resumption of business and an event
ual return to the good old Republican
times of years ago. 1t means that the
American people are not yet ready to
repudiate their National honor and
make SO cents worth of silver into ST..
It means, also, that they are firm
believers in the princi pies of protec-
ton and of the Republican party.
Not entirely alone to the Republi-
cans can the magnificent vote for Nc
Kinley be attributed. To the many
sound-money Democrats, who voted
for Mckinley, is part of the credit
due for McKinley's election. Their
votes were cast for National honor and
National patriotism.

100000 men were in line. 1t took the
parade six hours to pass any given
point and the paraders marched in
file from curb to curb. This equaled
the famous reviewing parade at the
close of the war when the United
States troops marched down Pennsyl-
vania avenue in Washington before
the reviewing stand of President Lin
coin. For the city of New York, here
tofore strongly Democratic, to send
up such a parade, was something un-
paralleled in the history of the coun-
try. 1t demonstrated very clearly
that New York people, at least, want
ed one-hundred cent dollars.

ELECTION is OVER.

Election is over. The result is

Now, drop them all. Get down to

four months. Go to work for the fu-

the curbstone oratory. Stop the cry
of anarchy. Stop the venomous cry
against plutocracy---against the great
red dragon of Wall street. Stop the
vindictive remarks about the candi-

all.

mouth of anarchy-the cry of the
plunderer who accuses every one else
of being thief. Remember that hi

is PLENTIFUL; and this is a truth that
must be recognized in trade, despite
the scarcity of gold.
At this distance from Havana we
are unable to see what Weyler and
Melguizo can do about it. The banks,
the Stock Exchange, and the traders
at most places in Cuba have an adj
vantage, and it does not enure to the
glory of Spain. Weyler has held up

RAISING MONEY.

in Central Cuba has given
notice that those merchants who re-
fuse to accept the new paper currency
at it's face value will be shot as enc
mics of Spain. That is one of the new
and impressive Spanish ways of rails
ing loan for the war, says the New
York Sun.
We are not surprised that all the
merchants and all the other people of
the locality promptly accepted the
green stuff, and assured the General
that to them it was as good as gold.
They did not want to be shot. If the
General had ordered them to accept
it at twice its face value, they would
probably have agreed to that rather
than suffer trial by court martial, and
then stand up before firing squad.
Lots of men would surrender their
money rather than be shot. This
truth was often illustrated in our
country in old times upon the West
ern plains when a stage coach was
"held up" at the point of the revolver
or the rifle. The passengers would
rather she'll out their money than die
in their boots. Even in our own day
we often hear of the holding up of a
railroad train out West by band of
desperadoes, who proceed to make
collections at the mouth of their
shooting-irons. Even in country dis
tricts near New York, when a way
ward farmer, vending his way home
ward in the dark, hears a man behind
a tree cry out, put up your hands!'
he is apt to put them up rather than
pay the price of disobedience; and
then the villain goes through his
pockets while pal stands ready to
shoot. Incidents of the kind illustrate
Spain method of raising money in
Cuba. It is thus, also, that depreci-
ated paper currency is appreciated
there. When Melguizo points his
gun at an unarmed merchant, and
tells him that the paper he offers is as
good as the gold he desires to get, the
merchant may not be anxious to deny
the proposition under the circum-
stances.
It is true that Weyler has failed to
keep the currency up to the par OF
gold in Havana. But there is a good
reason for that. The banks and the
Stock Exchange we're too strong fol-
him; and, if he had tried to shoot
them, they might have got the first
shot. He imprisoned some people
and banished others; but that did not
help him to get their gold, or make
them takeshis paper. And SO, after q
month of failure, he had to stand still
while the bogus currency fell far be-
low it's face value.
We have noticed one interesting
thing in that thinly settled part Of
Cuba where shooting is the penalty
of disobedience. While the merchants
say that the forced loan is as good as
gold, they raise the price OF their
merchandise when they accept the
paper in payment for it. They tell
their customers that things have risen
on account of the war and the de.
rangement of trade; and as Weyle,
himself admits that this is true, how
can he shoot and imprison a man for
saying it or for charging up accord
ingly? Things are dear at this time
all over Cuba, though paper currency

American and British Trade.

Erglands purchases are much more than
sales in 1896, and since 1858 so-caled ad-
verse trade balances are reported 81 ,2O7,-
100000 They buy North American cot
ton and South American and Australian
wool and other products for manufacturing
purposes, and 50 per cent of the food for
their population and send out manufactured
goods and cash to square the account.
Great Britains steam tonnage in 1880 was
2,773,0S2 tons and increased to 5.106, 5S1
tons in 1890; in 1895 it was $40, 243 tons.
Including colonies and all sailing vessels it
is now 1922, $50 tons. The United States
has 2, 164, 1852 tons all told and there seems
room Tor congressional action looking
towards more rapid development Of Ameri-
can manufactures and shipping. Absence
of remedial legislation at Washington and
neglect to place the treasury on revenue
basis instead Of borrowing has increased
the national debt and increased the yearly
interest The totals of all states and terri
tories, including county, municipal and
school district, is now compiled from cen
sus of 1890 as 81, 135, 210,4 42 against
81, 5,27S, 647 ten years previous. Reci-
proclty, protection, good money. with a
revenue in excess of expenses, will likely
reverse sentiment and business conditions
to the satisfaction of all our citizens.
