Jacksonville, Fla. June 28.-Gen. Weyler,
while at Cienfuegos, made request for
10000 colonial volunteers, with the inten-
ton of starting an active campaign. He
has also demanded from Spain 10000 ad-
ditional troops, to reach Cuba by Sept. l.
The rainy season will be drawing to a
close at this time. and this goes to prove
the assertion that he will make the effort
of his life to conquer the insurgents. The
announcement that Cen Gomez would
begin active operations has been verified.

ELEPHANTS IN INDIA.
No One Allowed TO Shoot Them Without
Special Permission.

No One Allowed to Shoot Them without
Special Permission.
Nobody may shoot an elephant, Gays
tho Lon Ion Telegraph, on tho Anna
MULE or Tipperah hills or anywhere else
throughout India and Ceylon without
permission unless it DO q rogue
or plainly dangerous and destructive.
The capture of the wild elephant and
his careful training are things carried
gut under an admirable and scientific
Bstem, which gives to the administra-
ton in all its branches and to the native
courts q superb staff of massive and
faithful servants, the oommissariat and
artillery elephants.
Although they will seldom OF never
breed in captivity, the grand creatures
are easy to keep and manage, invaluable
for many special purposes, and at their
demise whatever tusks they may carry go
to tho worlds stock Of ivory. The older
it is the better generally its quality. But,
in ally case, how senseless it seems to ex-
tirpate the living source of this beauti-
full commodity, as the reckless hunters
and ignorant native chiefs and mer-
chants are still allowed to do in central
Africai When shall we see the govern
ments Of these various regions sensible
enough to perceive and proclaim that
live elephants are very much more valu-
able even commercially than dead Ones,
and hat the preservation of these state
" and serivceable animals shall be
henceforward a fixed policy for African
benefit?
1t has been truly remarked that di-
rectly tho native and foreign hunters
are convinced that one live elephant is
worth dozens of tusks they will be as
keen to preserve the animal AS they now
are to exterminate him. We might plead
earnestly, even upon the ground Of ns-
theticism and natural science, for the
protection in future of the noble beast,
whose majesty and tranquility of mien
so well become his silent haunts and
philosophic, harmless existence. The
ears of those, however, who massacre
the innocent giant to cut from him 20
or 80 pounds of material for paper
knives and shoe horns would be closed
to such circumstances. The best hope Of
all who understand the value of the ell
ephant for Africa is that even the most
ruthless of his assassins may come to
learn that they are destroying their own
markets. Tho rest is for official authori-
ties to do. But certain it is that if de-
cided measures be not promptly taken
there will be no elephants to save and,
we shall see in another continent the
shameful human sin and folly perpe-
trated which has stripped America Of
every free living vestige Of her noble
droves of bison.

The views of leading English financiers
in regard to the chances of gold importa.

| ing, If not very important. The consen,
Sus of opinion among them is that there
| Is not likely to be any considerable
| amount Of gold sent from England to this
| country, though there will probably be
some sent from the continent The man

| with the highest authority, can see no
good reason why there should be flow
of gold from that country to this, remark
ing that the buying Of American securi-
ties by the United States will tend to
| equalize matters. Other tinancers were
not quite so positive in their views. but
none of them anticipated large shipments
of gold from England.
That there will be importationS of gold
from Europe there can be no doubt and
it is of no great consequence whether any
of it comes from England or not. If the
British holders of American securities
desire to part with them they will be
quite as acceptable as the yellow metal
in view of the fact that most of them are
likely to be profitable investments for
some years to come. Moreover, this coun-
try is not in pressing need OF more gold
The treasury reserve is large and has re-
Gently been growing and the banks are
well supplied so that with little demand
for export the United States is in Il very
safe and satisfactory position even if
there should be no importations of gold
for some time to come. 1t is by no means
improbable however, that England will
contribute something to increase our
stock of the yellow metal. for with in
creasing prosperity here the chances are
that idle British capital will not only go
into American securities, but will find
other sources of investment. There are
possible conditions that will send Eng

CRISIS IN THE coat STRIKE.
The failure Of the operators and strik-
ing coal miners to reach nm agreement In
the conference at Pittsburg on Tuesday
and the determination Of both parties to
continue the struggle brings the strike to
4 crisis from which there Is reason to ap-
prehend serious results. The operators
in the Pittsburg district having resolved
that there Is no course open but to con-
tinue the conflict, will, II is announced,
take steps to open the mines. The strik-
crs will be notified that they can return
to work II they wish to and if they do
not other men Will be employed. From
the spirit manifested by the strikers
there seems to be small probability that
any considerable number Of them will ac-
ccpt an offer to resume work and in the
event Of the operators securing any con
siderable number of men to take their
places the danger Of grave trouble will
be very great. A conference Of repre-
scntativcs Of all the organized labor in
the country is to meet in ST. Louis next
Monday to consider what action should
be taken in regard to the strike and 1t is
intimated that general sympathetic
movement in support of the coal miners
may there be inaugurated. 1t seems
hardly possible that this can be accom-
plished and yet there is unquestonably Il
very strong sympathy with the striking
miners throughout the ranks of organized
labor and an earnest disposition to do
whatever may be practicable to aid them
in their struggle to improve their hard
condition.
In it's present aspect the situation GER
tainly appears grave and it is TO be hoped
that a way may yet be found to avert
the danger which must be obvious to all
concerned and to effect n settlement of
what has already been a very costly con
fict that will be fair and Just both to the
operators and the miners. Unfor-
tunately, however neither side seems
willing to make the concessions necessary
to allow the issue to go to arbtra ton
The effort making to involve all organ
ized labor WILL If it succeed, be mex
pressbly calamtous.

IOWA REPUBLICANS.

Springfield CMass) Republican,. Not a
word appears in the Iowa republican plat
form about prohibition or temperance This
seems to be the conclusion of the whole
matter, for no prohibition party worthy OF
the name exists in the state. One after
another the prohibtory statutes have been
set aside or rendered ineffective, and local
option holds sway under the title of the
"mulct" system.
New York Mail and Express: The repub-
lcans of Iowa may take renewed confidence
of victory from the ticket and the platform
named and adopted by their state conven-
tion. The candidate for governor, Leslie NJ.
Shaw, is known as a man of the people, and
yet no demagogue who gives glimpse OF
his character in his declaration that he is
free from promises and that he will listen
to advice and then follow hrs own judgment
Philadelphia Press: The Iowa Republi
cans in reafirming and adopting in every
part the declaration Of principles announced
by the republican national convention of
1896. did what every republican state con-
vention held this year has done. There has
been no depression from this rule and there
is not likely to be any in the few state con-
ventions yet to be held. The party has made
no departure from the position it took at the
st. Louis convention. Now as then 1t stands
for protection, sound money, civil service re-
form and all the great principles for which
the party has been conspicuous since its
birth.
New York Tribune: The Iowa republicans
held a model convention. 1t was the largest
convention ever assembled In the state and
great enthusiasm marked all the proceedings.
The nomination for governor developed
keen and stirring contest, in which the sup
porters OF seven candidates engaged, but no
bitterness of feeling was engendered and the
vote which made the final choice unanimous
was not an empty form, but expressed the
genuine harmony of the delegates and the
party. 1t was a convention which fairly rep
resented great party in it's best estate, not
controlled by petty personal ambitions, but
inspired by an earnest purpose to command
the respect and win the votes OF good cltl-
zens. The platform, which was adopted
without a dissenting voice, is a sound,
courageous, straightforward declaration OF
republican principles.

GOING TO A GOLD BASIS.

The little Central American republic of
Salvador is not very important factor
in the financial world. but still the fact
that it has abandoned silver and gene to
a gold basis is not without interest 1t
Illustrates how severely even such coun-
tries, with their relatively small com.
merce. are feeling the effect of the decline
in silver and suggests that it may not be
a very long time when most of them will
have discarded the white metal except as
subsidiary currency, and adopted the
yellow metal as the standard. The dis.
advantage in exchanges they are sub
.iected to in adhering to silver are greater
unsettled and the tendency is to general
financial Generalization from which all
interests suffer.
1t would not be surprising to find the
other states of Central America speedily
following the example of Salvador, while
the list of gold standard countries is very
likely to be increased within the next
year by additions in South America. In
Mexico the situation IS receiving the seri-
Gus attention of the government and
while it is said there is no idea in official
circles of adopting a gold basis at pres
ent it is pretty generally recognized as
future possibility and the policy of a
government accumulation of gold by way
of preparation is being considered.
Every such example as that of Saliva

The recommittal of the resolution to
pull down the Sixteenth street viaduct
to three railroad engineers and the city
engineer means simply more delay. 1t
does not stand to reason that the on
gineers employed by railroads that have
refused TO contribute to the building of a
substantial viaduct in the place of the
present ramshackle wooden bridge will
be in any great hurry to recommend the

PROSPECTIVE POLITICAL DIVORCE

st. Louis Republic (dem): Evidences
multiply daily of the rapid disintegration of
populism. The forces that short time ago
co-Operated under this name are seeking
natural channels and forming alliances with
established agencies for the promotion of
good government and the working out of
reforms. The desperation of the extreme
element is Corroborative of the fatal decline
into which the populism that asserted itself
with such disastrous results to both old
parties three or four years ago has fallen.
Louisville Courier-Journal Mem) The
middle of-the-roaders claim they will poll
80 600 votes in Kentucky, while General
CoXey will admit nothing less than a clean
sweep of Ohio, and the promises are equally
good everywhere else The time for divi-
sion from popocrats has come, and nobody
who believes in the gorgeous utterances of
the OCala platform will ever again consent
to let his soaring desires be bound to the
one poor issue of the great, white and glori-
GUS 40 cent buzzard dollar. "Git plenty
while you're gittn,'" says I, "'twon't never
DO no cheaper" The old womans pet re-
mark in THE Hooser Schoolmaster' is a
good populist platform, and the populists
know it.
Globe-Democrat rep): 1t is evident that
slverism cannot hold the popocratic party
together any longer. Boies, Butler and other
leaders of the Bryanite combination have
said this often in the past two or three
months, and PETER says it now. THE silver
question" declares the ex-senator, "is not
the only issue of Importance which confronts
tho American people. 1t is not even the
most important" This, of course, is the
populist way of saying it Is not an issue at
all. Unless Bryan "broadens out" the Kan
san says he will be abandoned. The broad
ening out means the adoption of greenbacB~
ism and this can only be done to the extent
which the radical popocrats desire by en-
tirely giving up silver as an issue.

COLD, GRANITE FACTS.
Mathematical Demonstration of the
Value of Prosperity.


There are in this country, counting re-
serves and the new crop, at least $50 900, ,O0C
bushels of wheat which has appreciated ir
market value about 35 cents a bushel in the
last two months.
There are counting reserves and the new
crop, at least 5000, 900, 900 bushels of corn
which has advanced cents bushe in price
in the same time
There are 1900, ,000, 900 pounds Of hog
meat, raw and manufactured which has ad-
vanced an average of 3 cents a pound.
There are 325, 900 900 pecks OF garden truck
the average advance in which has been 212
cents per peck
1t is a we'll known economic law that the
market value Of productive property depends
upon it's earning power. The earning power
Of farm land has increased 80 per cent since
July l. Hence, there are $3.50, 900 farms in
this country which have appreciated in value
an average of $500 per farm, at a moderate
estimate
And there are 100000, 900, 900 worth of
railroad securities, which, by reason of the
agricultural prosperity, have increased II per
cent in value.
Better times on the farms means a larger
output and higher profits for the factory.
There are $5O000,0 900, 900 invested in fac
tories and the average increase in value iS
10 per cent.
activity and more profits for the urban mer-
chant There are 500, 900 900, 900 invested
in retail mercantile establishments, which
are now worth 20 per cent more than they
were eight weeks ago
Naturally the increased prosperity means
an advance in the value OF city real estate
say 15 per cent on $3.50, 900 900 900.
Add, say, Is per cent on 800 900 ,0OO. 900
representing all the saloons, theaters sani-
tariums, patent medicines and other in
dustries which will participate in the boom
and we have net total of $40 600 900 900, or
81 900 for every man, woman and child in
the United States.
Thus every man having a wife and five
children is 81 900 better off than he was July
/. Or, II one of the children were born
only August l, thereby participating in but
half of the advance, he Is worth $4,000 more
than he was two months ago.
This Is no idle dream, but a cold, solid
mathematical fact. Early next week the
local banks will make arrangements to cash
the checks OF such as may desire to draw
out their share.

There is more than a coincidence in the
fact that a iarge. number of the popuis
leaders in Kansas have almost simultaneously
declared that the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver will not be the dominant issue al
the election of 1900 There seems to have
been an understanding among them that thc
time is ripe for the presentation OF new
issues. A number of the leading populist
papers OF the state have admitted as much
and. while the populist county conventions 81
far held have declared their continued al.
leglance to free coinage, the resolutions
adopted have been weak and insipd anC
very much in contrast to the enthusiastic
platforms of a year ago, in which the silver
question was given the prominent place.
