Debs Gives His Schemes Away.

CHICAGO, June 21.-At meeting OF
the directors of the Social Democracy
of America tonight the following offic-
ers were elected; E. V. Debs, chair
man; Sylvester Kelleher, secretary;
James Hogan, vice president; William
E. Burns, general organizer. The dl-
rectors who chose these officers, and
were themselves elected at the meet
ing in the2fternoon, ares E. V. Debs,
Sylvester Kelleher, James Hogan,
Williana-E. Burns and Leroy Goodwin.
The salary Of the officers was placed
at 500 per month each.
At the afternoon meeting the cons
titution of the Social Democracy,
which has been published, was formal
ly ratified and adopted.
Mr.. Debs explains at length the
aims and purposes of the cooperative
commonwealth. A colony should be
sent to Washington, from which place,
he said, an official invitation had been
received. After Establishing the colo
ny he would secure control of the poll
tics of the state and start the cooper
alive commonwealth.
"The first thing we would do after
getting CONTROL" he said, "would be to
call an extra session of the legislature.
Then we would call convention to
revise the constitution and get all the
rot out of it. We will nave control Of
the taxing power and drive tax syndi-
Gates and sharks out of the state Per-
sons shall be taxed according to theil
means, and shall have according tc
their needs. We will have trusts, moth
ing but trusts, in our state, but we
will all be in the trust. The opera.
tives will not work twelve or fourteen
hours day but four or five. We will
be in the field in 1900 with new par
ty. These men who represent the
new life are going to unite, as if by
magic, for the overtorow of CONNER,
cialism in the establishment of the CO.
operative commonwealth by which
the brotherhood of man we'll become 6
fact. I do not know whether thi'
question will be solved peaceably OF
otherwise. I hope peaceably. But
am one of those who believe in getting
ready for any solution that may be ne
cessary."
Mr.. Debs said in setting up the co
operative commonwealth in Washing
ton, the colonists might be running
against the supreme court. He would
consult good lawyers and learn just
what the rights of the colonists were
eve want to know our rights" he
said, "and make them the rebels. i
they send military to invade oul
rights, then there will be an army O
100000 patriots on the state line tt
meet them on that issue.

To Make the OIympics DisgOrge.

Charley Cline, speaker of the house
at Olympia last winter, is in Seattle
says the P.-I., organizing an expedi-
ton into the wi.ds of the Olympics.
In,company with party of six or
seven adventurous spirits, Mr.. Cline
expects to penetrate country seldom,
if ever, trod by white men. The OBJ
jective point of the expedition is a
mysterious lake far up in the noun
tains, which has no visible outlet, but
whose bed is said by the Indians to be
a glittering repository for quantities
of placer gold.
The location of this lake is bein g
kept profound secret, and it is said
that the first canoe of white man or
Indian is yet to part its water. Indi-
ans have brought down specimens or
nuggets taken from the surrounding
country. The black sand of the ocean
beach west of the mountains contains
fine particles OF gold, which some be-
lieve are carried to the sea by sub
terranean passage from the lake, being
milled into fine flour gold on the way
to the sea.
Acting on the theory that deposits
of placer gold are to be found at the
sources of the streams emptying into
the Pacific, the Cline party will strike
for the head of the lake, pre- pared to
startle the world by locating mines Of
fabulous richness,-P-I.

The Board Of Pardons have un-
animously denied the petition for
pardon Of the Younger brothers
and they should be commended by
the whole state for their action.
The criminals have behaved them
selves where they are; let them
stay there and it will be known
that they are behaving themselves
without a doubt. Those opposing
the pardon were termed revengful
and vindictive, It was not so;
they merely wanted to see the law
complied with and that the pen
atty for murder coul1 be held up
as being enforced. Cole Younger
was. termed as being merciful.
He showed no mercy when he
placed men in line to see how many
his rifle would kill at one shot.
Numerous atrocious crimes are on
record against him. The haras-
sing Of his parents is no excuse
for such outlawing, The commit
of Kellihan's penalty is also COM
mendable. If there are any par
dons for good behavior he may OBJ
tain one, but neither is lie deserv-
ing of it, let the law be complied
with.

The republicans of the House did

Senate, which passed it by vote Of

Representative Dingley's motion to
disagree to the Senate amendments
and to send the bill to conference was
promptly adopted. It is not possible
t. say. at this time how long the bill

ators and Representatives who are in
positions to know express the opinion
that an agreement will be reached
inside of ten days, and possibly much
sooner. President McKinley's spec

stood in the way Of the bounty amend
ment. Here are the plain unvarnish-
ed facts. The bounty amendment
was originated by republicans and
was approved by a republican caucus
but when it was offered in the Senate
Mr.. Jones, of Ark. the democratic
leader, and Mr.. Teller who aspires to
the leadership of the silver republi-
cans, publicly served notice on the re-
publicans that they would prolong
the tariff debate indefinitely if the
amendment was insisted upon. Then
the finance committed withdrew the
amendment and it was again offered
by Senator Allen. The republican
Senators held a caucus md although
strongly in favor of the sugar bounty
decided that it would be wiser, in view:
of the enormous loss of money every
day that the tariff bill was delayed, to
allow the sugar bounty to go over to
the regular session than to extend
the tariff debate weeks in order to
get a vote on the amendment at this
session. In accordance with that de-
cision the republican senators voted
solidly to table the amendm- mt, not
because of their opposition to it, but
because they were anxious to get the
tariff bill passed. >.. "
Secretary Gage this week issued
regulations to govern the submission
of plans by architects in the compe-
titions the government will hold when
ever new public building is to be
erected. Under them at least five
architects will be requested to submit
competitive plans, specifications and
drawings for each building, with the
understanding that all of them may
be rejected if not satisfactory to the
Secretary. The successful architect
will not only have his plans bought
by the government, but will be emp
ioyed to supervise the construction Of
the building. The first buildings
under the competitive plan will be
at Camden, n. J. and Norfolk Va. 1t
is hoped that this method will result
in marked improvement in the arch
itecture of public buildings.
According to the latest version of
the matter, it was more because he
was not informed of the negotiation
of the treaty before it was made pub
lie that the Japanese Minister got
mad than because of the treaty itself.
The minister had been especially di-
rected by his government to keep
track of any negotiations looking to
annexation, and his failure to get the
information to Japan before it was
sent there as matter of public news
has given him black eye at bone
which may result in his being called
home in disgrace. He sought to help
himself by the wording of his protest,
but Secretary Sherman's answer there
to blocked his efforts in that direction.
Poorfellow! He isn't any better bluff
fer than he is a news gatherer.
