Mr. GA GE''S PLAN
Secretary Of the Treasury Pre-.
pairing q Financial Scheme
Fer Congress.
He Would Retire Greenbacks
Gradually, Submitting Ma
tional Bank Notes.
Would Also Limit Paper Cur,

More.
ri. ;s'S;siisssx

New YORK, June 8.-A dispatch from
Washington says Secretary Gage is pre-
pairing q financial measure to be submit
ted to congress next winter. In pur
suance Of this plan he has sent out q
letter to 200 leading bankers and mer
chants inviting suggestions for placing
the currency upon q sound basis. In
outline the scheme will embrace the
gradual retirement Of the greenbacks
and the substitution Of national bank
notes therefor; allowing national banks
to issue to the full limit, instead of 80
per cent, as now; reducing the tax on
national bank circulation from l pei
cent to II of per cent; and limiting the
denominations Of bank notes and all
other paper money to sums of $40, and
substituting silver for all below $40. !.
There will probably be provision fo1
branch banks, and there is suggestion
that state and municipal bonds may be
used as basis for not to exceed 80 pei
cent of the note circulation. o
Secretary Gage has in fact already
commenced to carry out his scheme fol
retiring greenbacks as far as possible
under the PRESENT law by locking up in
the treasury greenbacks and treasury
notes. These classes of notes have
greatly increased since March 4, and on
June there was held in the treasury of
both classes about $50, 100000. -.-.

However, many Republicans are not
willing to call themselves Democrats or

party for them. We are not for any in

Another China.
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Frye
Of Maine is the leading Republican
member of the committee ON foreign
relations. He was entitled to the chair
manship of the committee when Sen
ator Sherman retired from the senate,
but declined the position in favor Of
Senator Davis Of Minnesota, whom he
believed to be better equipped than him
self, as an international lawyer Sen
ator Frye is, however, a.potenti.l factor
in foreign affairs, and he said: LIT ap-
pears that Japan is attempting to coerce
the Hawaiian republic into receiving all
Of her emigrants, On the ground that the
refusal of Hawaii to receive. Japanese
would be violation of treaty rights.
Our reciprocal relations with Hawaifi viii
be continued in the pending tariff bill,
in accordance with the amendment pro
posed by Senator Davis. Moreover, this
country will not permit any intimida-
ton of that little republic in the Pacific
ocean. The Hawaiian islands are the
wards of this nation, and they shall not
be abused or inundated by Japan nor
any other nation"
The opinion prevails in. diplomatic
circles that the japanese look upon the
United States as vast territorial en-
pire, something like China, and that
they incline to the belief that this coun-
try might be as easily disposed of in
warfare as China was in the late un-
nleasantnesS

Chicago Tribune Correspond
Tells About Rural Prisoners

An Appeal to the American, Peo-
pie Not to Discriminate
in Charity.

CHICAGO, June 8-The Tribune spe-
cial corresponds dated Havana, Cuba,
June 2, says: Spain holds the rural
population of Cuba as prisoners of war
in prison camps.
Unlike any other nation which claims
to be civilized she does not feed her
prisoners of war.
This is a plain statement of the gath
ering Of the peaceful country people, the
on-combatants in concentration settle
ments. II it seems a harsh Judgment,
the facts on which it is based must speak
for themselves. It is not with any pur-
pose Of picturing more misery that these
lines are written. have been asked
whether the conditions were as bad as
they have been painted My conclusion
is based on what I have seen, not going
] 100 miles beyond Havana:
Nearly 100000 Of Them.
There is no means of learning the
exact number of the reconcentradoes. An
American consul who has made care
full study says it is more than $50, 900.
He is well informed regarding the inte-
! rior of the island, and declares that the
rural population has always been under
| estimated.
A Spanish officer told me there were
more than 10000 Of "these starving
country people, The best opinion places
the number between 1910, 900 and 200, 900.
It is months since Weyler's order was
put in force, but they have not all been
brought in.
The accounts given Of the military
movements of the troops tell mostly of
the destruction Of bahias, or palm huts,
Where the families are not murdered
they are driven in like cattle and herded
with the other pacifcos.
Usually Means Women and Children.
In the daily lists of presenadoes or
persons who surrender to the military
authorities those "without ar1hs'' are
the most numerous. This usually means
women and children. So the recruiting
OF the poor people goes steadily on.
An inspection of a settlement of the
pacificos shows just how they are held
as prisoners of war. In not all the
places are they hemmed in by bitches
and barb wire fences as at Campo Flor
lido, but they are everywhere under miB~
itary guard. Those who are left of the
men cannot go out into the country be-
yond a certain line. Then it is with an
escort Of soldiers. Usully these are the
guerillas and it is an even chance be-
tween death by starvation and getting
back without being murdered.
I read in the government papers d
few days ago that during the month
there had been 40 deaths from starva-
ton at Remedies. A sugar planter
whose plantation is within two hours of
Havana told me Of four pacificos who
had risked permit from the municipal
authorities Of the village and gone into
the country. They We're overhauled by
the guerillas, who tore up the passes
and murdered them. These are simply
instances.

This Is no time for eclectic politics. The

Clereymen are men of education, trained

II the ticket of the Republican party, the
party of the st. Louis platform. the elector
of an honest-money President in 1906 and
the committee to elect an honest-money Con-
gross in 1898, had not been put in the field
in the Greater New York this fall, the con-
sequent shock to the cause Of anti-Bryanism
would have been felt seriously throughout
the country.
II the Citizens Union ticket, with Mr..
SETH Low at Its head, had never seen the
light, It would nave been no misfortune at
all. The country has ~prospered and tho
city OF New York has grown great and
proud Of itself without the Citizens Union.
If the Republican leaders had failed to

Tooley Street in Brooklyn.

For the last two or three days Brooklyn
has had every opportunity to become
alarmed. That 1t has not become alarmed
shows the settled courage of it's people, for
they are dwelling in the midst Of dangers,
although they didn't know 1t until last
Friday. Then the Brooklyn Citizens Com
mittee whitened all the streets and dark
ened all the minds Of that city by a mas
terly circular, the work of an unknown
but a prodiRious hand.
THE tyranny and corruption of party
organization" says this masterpiece, with
a passionate scorn of syntax, has again
brought into existence q body Of men known
as the Citizens Committee" These com.
mitteemen, this offspring Of tyranny and
corruption, will support SETH Low for
Mayor, for the reasons s%ubjoined:
"They believe that the strife of parties endangers
the State. and they call upon all good citizens for
moral. political. and financial support.
without party organization they must depend
upon the patriotism OF the people. and they ask you
to share with them tho expense OF this campaign.
with your assistance It will be possible to make II
again manifest that government OF the people. by
the people, for the people. shall not perish from the

If Brooklyn thoroughly apprehends the

the least by the strife of parties or the
thrilling cutlery OF the offspring of tyranny
and corruption.
Well, if contributions do not come in,

perishes from Brooklyn and the rest of the
