Kingston. Ja., February 3.-The Brit

hastily this afternoon from this port

departure was that there has been re-

the Cuban capital, and that the Mohawk

Mr.. ClEVELAND'S COURSE
Even His Intimates Differ About His Prob
able Attitude.
Probability That He Will Favor the
Nomination of an Independent
Gold Democratic Ticket.

There is wide conflict between the in
formation or differences of various persons
who are close to Cleveland as to what his
course will be as to the Independent ticket.
Positive and reliable information. given
with knowing shake of the head, is fur
nished, first, that Mr.. Cleveland will try to
prevent the nomination of an Independent
ticket by the gold democrats at Indian
apolis, and then that he will strongly ad-
vocate the nomination. Whether this is
due to vacilation on the part of Mr.. Cleve-
land, lack of frankness in dealing with
gentlemen who are close to him, or whether
1t is guess-work on both sides. it is very
hard to judge. The statement has come
II ON very good sources, as heretofore in
dicated that Mr.. Cleveland is likely to
write letter which may lead the conyen-
ton to be satisfied with simply making a
declaration of principles, and leaving the
gold democrats free to vote for Mckinley
This statement is strengthened somewhat
by the interview published this morning
with Senator Palmer, in which doubt is cx-
pressed that nominations will be made at
indianapolis.
Free Trade and the Gold Standard.
Yet there is exceptionally good authority
today for the statement that Mr.. CleNe-
land has now concluded to recommend an
Independent gold democratic nominat ton
urging the Importance of maintaining DEM
ocratc party organization for the uphold
ing OF democratic principles, as he under

CHiLE'S TARIFF.
Proposal to Put Raw Cotton on the
Free List.


Free List.
Chile is contemplating a revision of her
tariff laws. which, when effected, will have
an important bearing on a number of
American products, principally cotton,
which Chile will place on the free list with
the hope that the Introduction of the raw
product from the United States will encour-
age the manufacture of the finished product
in Chile. The minister Of finance has drawn
the bill and has submitted it to both
houses, although the elections promise to
delay Its adoption. The present normal
rate OF duty is % per cent ad valorem. This
will be retained as the standard but a
number Of new schedules are created. One
of these is at 90 per cent ad valorem and
protection. Included in this list are arti-
cles Of house furniture, wooden doors and
WINDOWS. coaches, carts, wheelbarroWs,
hams, brooms, tool handles and Il number
of other things which the United States
does not ship to Chile. The articles men
toned are exported from this country in
considerable quantities, the item of car
riages and cars reaching half a million an
nuaily. Agricultural implements, which are
shipped In large quantities, are taken out of
the free list and taxed at Is per cent ad
valorem: also tools, iron bars, rakes, hoes
etc. a number of articles, principally for
domestic use, are raised from % to 35 ad
valorem. Besides cotton to be transferred
10 the free list are cotton yarns, chemicals
CT various kinds, jute, linen, wheels and
sXles. zinc sheets, gloves, etc.
Chile was not one of the countries to
enter into reciprocity arrangements with
the United States under the provisions Of
trade between the countries has always

SENATOR DACON'S OBSERyATIONS
He Does Not Think the Silver Tide is
Receding.

Senator Bacon of Georgia. who has been
out on the Pacific coast and in other parts
of the west, called at democratic head
quarters this morning just prior to taking
the train for his home in Georgia He says
that the silver sentiment throughout that
section of the country is very strong. and
that he could discover no Indications of the
tide receiing
The great darger.'' he said, 'fs what
nay be accomplished by the use Of money
by the republican committee 1 do not
mean the use of money In buying votes
for l DO not think they can do much In
that way. l don't think many votes can
be bought. But the abundance of money
at their disposal enables the republicans to
make a much more general distribution of
literature than We can afford, and they
may accomplish good deal in this Way
A grsat many people who are on the silver
side are not very well informed. They are
silver men by instinct. but are not always
able to put up an argument in support Of
thelr 1alth. and there are many, too, who
are subject to conversion. one way or the
other. l noticed everywhere l went the
question was being earnestly discussed. At
railroad stations and hotels and eyery-
where, / saw clumps of men arguing over
the silver question. Now, sometimes g.
pretty good silver man will undertake to
argue his cause when, by reason Of not be-
ing supplied with literature he is not able
to sustain the discussion as well as some
fellow on the other side who has been sup
piled with arguments by the newspapers
and by the literature from the republican
committee. The fellow best supplied with
information may get the better of the ar
surnent on account of the lack of informa-
ton on the partys adversary and this has
an effect, of course, on the crowd of lis
teners. 1t is very apparent to me that the
republicans have great advantage in
their abundant campaign fund, even II ap-
Piled to nothing more than the distribution
