When DR.. Kenealy, being returned to
Parliament by the electors of Stoke,
took an early opportunity of moving a
vote of censure on the Judges, he found
teller in Mr.. Whalley. On the House
dividing, it was found that 433 men of
all parties voted in the negative, DR..
Kenealy's proposition being supported
by a single member. The single member
was Major O'Gorman. Asked after
ward why he had gone against his own
party, for once merged in the majority,
the Major, mopping his massive brow,
answered, "Bedad, it's hot night, and
l knew there would be more room in the

"Some years ago." said Paderewski
the other day in the Chicago Post"
II dined with an official of the Russian
army. This official had in his command
an officer of great ability who was ad-
dicted to strong drink. 1t was arranged
that the man should take dinner along
with us that day. Instead of soup, the
first course served to him was brandy
which he must swallow a spoonful at
a time, just as he would have swal-
lowed soup. After the first spoonful he
was SO sick that he implored to be
spared. Under cover of drawn revol-
yer the official commanded him to swal-
low every spoonful in the plate. The
officer never drank a drop of liquor af-
ter that. Try to drink champagne from
a cup or liquor as that man was forced
to drink it. 1t will make you deathly
sick"

madrid. Dec. 22.-The Correspond
encia is authority for the statement
that naval and military plans to be
carried out in the event of war be-
tween Spain and the United States
have already been formed and ap-
proved by Admiral Beranger aud Gen.
Azcarraga, respectively ministers OF
marine and war. The policy of Spain,
according to this statement, will be to
act upon the defensive in Cuba. but to
be IN readiness To take the offensive
if the forces of the United States
should attempt to make landing on
the island.
The home dock yards have become
the scenes of the greatest activity and
hundreds Of additional men have been
employed in each yard to carry ou.
the orders of Admiral Beranger to ex-
pedite work upon the war ships and
the transports which are being re-
paired and got in readiness for service
The Spanish cruiser Pelayo will be
ready to sail by January /, when she
will proceed under sealed orders. 1t
is understood that she is destined for
Cub waters.
The Heraldo announces that the
ministry of war is preparing a pam.
phlet for distribution among the Off
GERS of the army and the navy as well,
which will contain topographic maps
of the United States, copious data of
the situation and condition of the
American fortresses and military or
ganization, the facilities afforded by
the American railways. their available
ity for military purposes. etc. The
pamphlet will also contain sugges-
tions as to the best modes of attack
upon the vulnerable points of the
American coast and interior and direc-
tions as to the methods to be em ployed
to effect the best results in making re-
prisals upon the commercial ports of
the United States.
The opinions on the situation. AS
expressed by the newspapers of Mad
rid and other Spanish cities, abound
with violent denunciation of the atti-
tude of the United States government,
but agree that the United States SEN
ators ought not to be taken too se-
riously.

Beginning at MOSCOW, where ne saw the

MUST STAND BY BRYAN.
Populist washburn of Massachusetts
Says It's Good Policy.

st Louis, Mo, July 2O.-Mr. Taubeneck
has not been successful in holding the
members Of the executive committee of
the Popuiist national committee in line
for an independent nomination by the Popu-
list convention. Mr.. George F. Washbnrn,
Of Mass achusetts, one of them, is out in
statement unequivocally declaring for the
Endorsement Of Bryan, in which he says:
.'It is the first opportunity the American
people have had tn render verdict on the
money question. For 4 year We have been
advocating a union Of silver forces. 1 still
adhere to that plan. To unite means Sue
cess, to divi de means defeat. Mr.. Bryan
indorsed the Popnlists in Nebraska 1t Is
our duty to stand by him now 1t is far
better for ust to win on two or three of our
principles than to suffer constant defeat
on them all.
"Mr. Bryan represents the. highest type
OF American citizenship. He is able, honest,
sincere and true, and believes thoroughly
in the leading principles we advocate.
"The Chicago platform, while it does not
go as far as We would like, Is a long stride
| in our direction, and is 60 radical q derar-
| ture that the Democratic gold bugs openly
call it Populist platform and Mr.. Bryan
Populist candidate. Now, II this be
true, why should We join these gold bugs in

PETER FAVORS FUSION.
Also Would Leave Choice of Presi-
dent to Electors.

st. Louis. j uiy Ex-senator Peffer, while
favorIns fusion is disposed to back up Taub-
eDeck's scheme, whereby the Presidential
electors chosen can select the candidates
for whom they shall vote after the No
venbef election. Peffer has this to say:
Il think tile first thing we ought to do
is to readopt the Omaha platform, revised
and brought up to date, and to appoint a
national committee TO look after the party
affairs so as TO preserve our party identity.
There is no reason why we should abandon
either our party doctrine or our party.
IN the uext place. l think we shall have
to arrange some satisfactory way to coin
bine the anti-gold vote OF the country.
What can be done in tie different States
and localities to accord with tie voting
strength of tile several parties must be
decided upon aud after the election, il we
have chosen majority OF the electors, as
think we will. they can then agree among
themselves. according to their preferences,
on Il candidate.
THAT would allow all of US to vote ac-
cording 10 party preference, and it would
relieve US OF great deal of friction
| that might otherwise occasion trouble.
There are only two points of which
| feel tenacious. The first is to maintain
| our party organization: the second is to
combine the silver vote of the country"
But this ingenious scheme of leaving
| the selection OF President with the cleo
tors does not meet with much favor. 1t
| would give the elector altogether too
much Latitude in his choice" said DR..
| Taylor, OF Chicago, who has been talked
of as the Vice Presidential nominee in
case a separate ticket We're nominated.
| An unscrupuious elector could easily
| find some reason for refusing to vote for
any or the candidates named, and no
| good could come out Of 1t. So far as the
| Popullst organization being destroyed In
| case of fusion. am not afraid OF that,
although I am not prepared yet to say
whether am In favor of fusion or not.
| The Illinois delegates have. not decided
! what stand they will take, and will not
until after careful consideration. Per-
sonally, think fusion will win."

SENATOR JuNEs CoNFEns.
Has an Interview With Populist Lead
ers-ResuIt Unknown.

ST. Louis, No, July 20.-The late trains
last evening brought in quite number
OF Popullst delegates and party LEADERS,
Prominent among them were Senator
Marion Butler OF North Carolina; lgnatiUs
DonnelIy, OF Minneapolis. an NJ Z. Nankin
Terre Haute, Ind, members OF The ma
tional executive committee. c. j. Hiliyer,
of Washington, ID. c., member OF the ma
,ionaI silver committee. one Of the larS-
est propert ownersofthe National Capital;
and Senator Jones. of Arkansas, chairman
OF the national Democratic committee, was
also among the prominent arrivals
Senator Butler said. speaking OF the
proposition to indorse the De emocratic
candidate:
..The Democrats would never have dc
cIared for free silver had it not been
for the agita rion originated and maintained
by the Populists for years Why should
we now surrender our organization to
them because Iney have adopted one of the
principles for which We have been con-
te nding?"
Senator James K. Jones OF Arkansas,
chairman OF the national Demo-
cratic committee, was met at the
union station by Gov. Stone, Col
John l. Martin. Hon. NJ. 8. Wetmore and
Senator Stewart OF Nevada. The party
drove to the Planters Hotel aud took dinner
Taubeneck of the Populists. and Il confer
encc was held in Senator Jones' room. 1t
was recognized that Senator Jones, who
had been in New York and Washington
comforting with Democratic leaders, was
as ambassador from the democratic party
to the Populist party.
The session was executive, and wher
it broke up there was clam like silence on
the part of the participants. Senator
Jones would only say that the outlook
| for harmonious action by the Popuiist
| convention was assured. He would not
say whether this meant Endorsement o.
BRYAN or IA division OF the electoral ticket
| but from his satisfied manner 1t was as
suned that matters had progressed to {
| satisfactory understanding.
A strong impetus was given the Bryan
! boom las: night at meeting held at the
| Linde,l Hotel. Upwards of sixty dele
gates were present. The purpose OF th'
meeting was to cons o.idate the Bryan mel
| in the different delegations.

A TRIUMPH OF DIPLOMACY.

Diplomacy was once defined By Gym
icai statesman as the art OF telling lies po-
litely Perhaps this may not be an inapt
characterization as regards the article that
is generally current, but the honorable en-
ception must be male with reference to
the negotiations that have been, and still
are, under way betwsen tn. British foreign
office and our own State Department con-
cerning the Venezuelan boundary dispute.
The strained relations which in the be-
ginning of the controversy threatened
TO disrupt the peaceful intercourse of
the two nations have been metamor-
phosed into an earnest desire on the
part of each to arrive ut an under
standing which for all time to come shall
make an armed conflict between them
next to Impossible. More than this, the
conclusion OF a treaty of arbitration be-
tween the United States and Great Britain
will set an example which other civilized
nations cannot afford to ignore. and it
may come TO pass that the historian OF the
future will accord to the two great Eng
list- speaking peoples of the world the
glory of having inauguratei the reign of
universal peace.
The chief merit in this event might justly
sorting the INA maintenauce of Il Traditional
policy in behalf of one of the weaker ma
tions on the American continent against
cncroachment on the part of European
monarchy, it WIS the first to propose the
settlement OF tie pending dispute by the
methods and processes OF arbitration, and
even went further than that by suggesting
that all future differences arising between
the United States and Great Britain he
subjected to the same pacific and judicial
arrangement. The proposition at first
found no favor in the eyes OF LGrd Sails
bury, the British premier. who. by nature
and habit, was thoroughly saturated with
the esclf-sufficiency that has always marked
Great Britain's intercourse with foreign
nations. He found opposed TO him, how
ever, the public sentiment OF his own peo-
pie, who abhorred the bare thought of an
appeal to force where the antagonist would
be the nation to whom they were related by
the Ties OF descent, language and civ
ilization Comm on i'll most things.
The speech made by Lcrd Salisbury in
the House Of Lords Il day or two ago, in
submitting the correspondence between
the two governments Gu the subject OF the
Venezuela British Guiana boundary dis
pute, was a sirguiarly happy indication
OF the gradual yielding To the pressure OF
| public opinion in the direction of an ar
| bitration treaty. British diplomacy has
| for once yielded roint 10 the force

RAPID TRANSIT TO LEXINGTON

Forty days have already passed Of the
ninety during which the lexington and
Soldiers Home Railway Company is to
equip it's lines with the compressed air
rsotor, the permit for the final adoption Of
which is contingent upon a three-mOnths'
test So satisfactory to the Commissioners. So
far as anything has come to the knowledge
OF the public, the company is no nearer
to the substitution of rapid transit for
horse power at this moment than it was at
the time of the passage of the act. In the
meantime, complaints are multipl ying from
people dependent upon this road and its
branches as TO the in:eriority of its transpor-
the conve yances. Their patience has been
imposed upon in many ways, and il is not
to be wondered at that they are urgent in
their demands for something to be done
to give them relief.
The history of this road, almost from
been q succession of failures and annoy
ances. Whenever possible its managers
have set themselves against the require
ments of laws. either generally applicable
to street railways in the District or having
special reference to its lines. The vexatious
delay in removing the overhead trolley
wires and poles within the city limits is not
forgotten, not are the bitter complaints
made by residents of certain streets on
account of the intolerable nuisance Gre
ated by a number of horses being stalled
in front of private residences, which was
abated only after the most energetic pro-
tests. Unsatisfactory schedules, miserable
cars. lack of transfer accommodations an:
a general disregard of the convenience of
the public complete the record of the com.
pany's sins OF omission and commission.
In view of all this, people cannot be
blamed if they regard with doubt and sus-
picion the prospect of the introduction Of
one OF another system of rapid transit on
this road Whatever 1t be, however, they
will expect the Commissioners to see to it
that the last requirements of Congress in
respect to the EckiDgtm line and branches
are not again slighted or crcumvented as
has been the case heretofore

WHICH uEc all our way!
The people will indorse Bryan, whether
we do or not, and with fair chance he will
sweep the country. To nominate separate
ticket is to invite disaster. We would lose
a million silver Republicans, who are sure
to support Mr.. Bryan. This, together with
other lesses, woald result in reducing the
party vote so greatly as to completely dis
courage our party following. II we merge
our vote we fail to reveal ans such loss and
our people would be in fighting trim for the
next campaign.
I'VE can unite or not on State and minor
offices and inculcate better feeling every
where. 1t is not for men, but for principles,
we contend; therefore, let us show 1t like
patriots at the opportune time. While q

us close in. shoulder to shoulder, and march
