Preparing Already for the Presiden-
tial Fight of 1900
Chicago, June THE leaders of the
silver Republicans are gathering daily
for a committee meeting Tuesday.

Minnesota; ex-senator Fred T. Dubois,
of Idaho; Senator r. F. Pettigrew, Of
South Dakota; Congressman Charles
S. Shortman, of Montana; Congress-
man NJ. C. Jones, of Washington and
Governor J. p. Lee, of South Dakota.
June was set for meeting of the
silver Republicans forces in Chicago
February %, last. At that time the
four senators and six representatives
of that faith sent out from Washing
ton to the chairman of each state CEN
trail committee a call for a meeting at
this time.
The object is to re-organize the par
ty and to extend it to every section
of the United States. The committee
consists of one member from each
state with ex-Congressman Towne as
chairman.
Very few signers of the call are
members of Congress but the faith will
tend to lend inspiration to the cause.
Besides those mentioned Senators Tel
Ter, Stewart and Mantle, and Con-
gressmen Shaforth, Newlands and
Carter are expected today. The meet
ing will be called to order at l o'clock
at the Leland hotel and campaign of
action will be instituted. 1t is expect
ed that speakers and literature will
be sent out through the country and
part already are east and a continual
fight made from now on until the next
election.

AID For THE POOR.

New York, June 7.-Myer Isaacs,
president of the Baron de Hirsch fund,
has received a draft for s250,OO0, the
first installment of the $1,0OO,000 given
by the Baroness de Hirsch for the ben
eft of the poor of this city.
Nothing has yet been definitely de-
cided by the trustees of the Hirsch
fund as to the manner in which this
additional million dollars will be used.
Mr.. Isaacs said that the money would
be used to improve the condition of
the poor in New York in any way
which experience should dictate. The
work now being done with the funds
given by Baron de Hirsch will be ex-
tended and an effort made to better
the condition of the tenement house
jewellers in the crowded sections of the
city to migrate into the country and
the trustees will probably devote a
large portion of the money to develop
ing the work they have already begun
of enabling those disposed to agricul-
ture to buy and stock their farms.

New York, June 7.-Wm. ]. Calhoun,
who was sent to Cuba as special COM
missioner to investigate circumstan-
ces of the death in prison of DR.. Ruiz,

panied by George w. F'ishback, his Sec
rotary, and Charles M. Pepper,a Wash
ington newspaper correspondent, who
went to Cuba with the commissioner.

Mexico and had very enjoyable
trip. When informed his name had
been mentioned for Spanish mission,
he expressed surprise and said he had
not received the offer.

SPANS CABINET CRISIS.

Settled Now, But Thought to be Only
The Lull Before the Storm.
New York. June IA dispatch to
the Journal from Madrid says:
The solution of the cabinet crisis has
caused an enormous sensation here.
Premier Canovas keeps the same cab
met ministers and he also retains wey-
Ter in office but an impression prevails
that Weyler will be recalled at very
early date.
Senior Sagasta said in an interview:
II cannot understand the solution of
the crisis, which / consider simply adj
journed."
The dissident Conservatives consider
the solution somewhat dangerous. Pre-
mier Canovas himself at the cabinet
council foreshadowed the necessity of
giving them some satisfaction, hint
ing at change in ministers of foreign
affairs and the colonies at an early
date.
The general opinion in court circles
| here is that Canovas remains in pow
er because he alone supports Governor
| General Weyler, to whom brief OPP
| portunity will be accorded to give eff
feet to his promise to pacify the two
eastern provinces of Cuba in a short
time.
| The Queen Regent made every eff
fort to arrive at other conclusion, but
failed. Before Canovas was returned
to power on Sunday, she called all the
leading Senators and members of the
chamber of Deputies in consultation
in regard to affairs in Cuba. They
Joined with the marshals of the army
in declaring that Weyler should at
once be recalled and someone, proba-
bly, General Martinez Campos, sent
out to pacify the island and forestall
any action on the part of the United
States government.

cULBERsoN's VETO.
He Uses His Power to Kill Bills by
the Wholesale.

Austin, Texas, June Especial
Governor Culberson today did some
thing unprecedented in Texas Legis-
lative circles by vetoing at one pop
four bills passed at the regular ses-
sion. During said session he vetoed
16 bills more than any previous gov
ernor has ever vetoed and today he adj
ded to the list four more. The most
important bill vetoed today is gen.
eral occupation tax bill which is ON
NOUS in its nature and sought to tax
everybody and every industry in the
state to increase revenues of the
state.
The governor says that while the OBJ
iect of the bill is commendable he must
veto it because said bill win authorize
the circulation of obscene literature,
sanction gambling by pool selling and
Iegalize the fire insurance companies
lust now operating in the state and
which have lately been prosecuted.
He also vetoed the bill making it a
felony to steal cotton of the value or
$50 and over. The bill Is vetoed on
the grounds that it would increase the
cost of felony business in the state
while no material benefit would be de-
rived therefrom.
He also vetoed the bill allowing the
Waco Water, Power and Electric Light
company to dam the Brazos river at
Waco on the grounds that a private
corporation would be getting assist
ance at public expense and inconyen-
fence.
He also vetoed the bill granting Bra
zoria and Matagorda counties new
road laws on unconstitutional grounds.

Body of a Man Found Lying Across a
Street Car Track.
Terre Haute. Ind, June 1.-THE cor
oner is in grave doubt as to the death
of a man supposed to be James Butts,
a well-to-do farmer living east of
town. Near Twelve Points" a sort
of a road house north Of town, street
car ran over man late last night.
The head was on the rail, the feet on
the other, and when the wheels struck
the body the top of the head was cut
off, the brains being scattered along
the track. A bottle of whisky was
found on the dead mans body. A
week ago at the same place a rotten
tie was placed on the track derail-
ing a double deck car. Much mys-
terry envelops the case. The position
of the body leads to the belief that
the man may have been murdered and
his body placed across the track.

Several Persons Excited Because OF
Their Political Opposition To

Other News.

New York, June IA dispatch to
the Herald from Panama says:
DR.. Octavie la Espriella,a we'll known
jurist and consul of several South At
rican countries, in an interview with
the correspondent of the Herald re-
fers to the conditions existing in Ecua-
dor in the following terms:
"Since the advent of General Elery
at Faro to the presidency he has met
with persistent opposition on the part
of the Conservatives, aided openly by
priests of the Jesuit and Vulnerable
other orders. These same bodies have
held the country down for thirty years
or more and are very strong. They
have money and constitute the main
reliance on all revolutionary attempts.
Notwithstanding, the Vaccinations
of the Conservatives and their allies,
however, all efforts to throw the Rad
icals out of power have failed. The
government is vigilant and does not
hesitate moment to cast into prison
or to send into exile all suspected in
surrectionists."
In this connection is may be stated
that Bishop Andrade of Rio Banda is
now a prisoner on board the gunboat
Cotopaxi and has been offered the al
tentative of either leaving the country
or remaining in Guayaquil under an
other police surveillance.
Senior de La Especilla is also exiled
from Ecuadorian soil, although he is
an advanced Liberal and formerly a
friend of President Alfaro.
Senior de La Especilla, in speaking of
the provinces of Tacna and africa,
captured from Peru by Chile, said that
the opinion prevailed in the two coun-
tries that the long pending question
as to the final disposition of the terri
tory would soon be determined. This
would undoubtedly be due, said Senior
da La Sspecilla, to the diplomatic
ability and tact of President Pierota.
Some credit should, however, be given
he said, to Chile, that government be-
ing willing to restore the provinces to
Peru upon equitable terms, irrespec-
tive of the treaty of Ancon, which
provided for plebiscite in 1894.
New York, June IA dispatch to
the Herald from Buenos Ayres, says:
Serious threats and demonstrations
against President Moraes of Brazil,
have been made at San Paulo, accord
ing to a dispatch from the Herald's
correspondent in Rio Janeiro. In sew
eral instances the military were order
ed out to aid the police in quelling the
disorder. Much disorder has occurred
in the Brazilian Congress over the d.
plomatic correspondence with France
in regard to the disputed territory of
Amapa. The agitation was caused by
the refusal of the minister of state to
communicate the details Of the cores
pondence to the chamber. The govern
ment military school has been closed
as a result of the characterization
caused by designing politicians and
army men.
