SILVER REPUBLICANS.
They Issue a Call Urging That
Work be Done.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The silver Re
publicans of the senate and house to
day issued an address to the silver Re
publicans of the United States, in TIL
course of which il is said that all othe
issues must await the correct decision
of the monetary question. The address
continues:
circumstances have some times
in the past thrust upon the under
signed responsibilities on behalf of
silver Republicans which in the alb
sence of formal organization we
have felt warranted in assuming.
Recently, moreover, we have been
receiving a vast number of anxious
inquiries from various parts of the
country upon the question of party
policy, and requesting us to give
some definite direction thereto.
These communications exhibit a
surprising and gratifying unani-
nifty in sentiment and plan.
Responding to these earnest sug-
gestions, and at the same time ex-
pressing our own deliberate opinion,
we beg to urge upon the silver Re-
publicans of the United States and
upon all citizens of whatsoever
previous party or association who
are willing to cooperate with. us
in political action until the great
monetary issue is settled right, that
immediate steps be taken to perfect
organization in the various states
and territories, to the end that
thereafter a national convention
may be held for the purpose of
making an authoritative pro-
nouncement to the country and eff
fecting a national organization.
LAS soon as possible each of the
states and territories should desig-
nate a member of the provisional
committee (nationaD of the Silver
Republican party, which committee
will have charge of the calling of
the national convention and of all
matters preliminary thereto.
Meantime we have taken the
liberty of naming Hon. Charles A.
Towne of Minnesota as chairman
of the said provisional national
committee, whose official address
for the present will be the city of
Washington and to whom all COM
munications should be sent

He Has Sharp Replies for the Peo-
pie Who are Probing Him.

pie Who are Probing Him.
London, Feb. 23.-The examination of
Cecil Rhodes by the parliamentary
committee was resumed today. Sew
eral times Rhodes attempted 10 justify
the raid by calling attention to the fact
that England was now in full SYM
pathy with the Cretans in their seek
ing to obtain civil rights, whereas ii
was Britons who sought civil rights
in the Transvaal. Rhodes declared
that President Kruger had promised to
grant popular rights, but had failed to
keep his promises.
In reply to a question by Hon. Ed
ward Blake, Mr.. Rhodes said that he
had been told that he had LED johannes
burg in for the Transvaal trouble, but
after examining the letters and tele-
grams, he arrived at the conclusion
that it was rather johannesburg that
led him in.
Referring to the conversation be-
Rhodes said: I'VE were discussing the
Egyptian question. l said: If Great
Britain decided to remain, should
stop any foreign power from coming
between Khartoum and Uganda
White replied: We had no instruc-
tons l answered, OF course not, but
it is not the governments policy that
you ShOuld lie on your backs and eat
three meals d day You ought TO as
cend the Nile and make it impossible
for the French to cross. l did not
know White would apply my remarks
to something else. That shows how
careful you ought. to be in what you
say
MIR. Rhodes in answer to further
questions, said that his determination
to proceed to examine into the
Dutch republican measures was
reached in conjunction with the leaders
at johannesburg. Owing TO the help
lessness of obtaining redress for the
existing grievances, it was intended to
change the government.
Answering a question regarding the
Matabele war. the witness said 1T
is fortunate for you that you have not
had to pay for it,
The committee then adjourned I'M
til Friday.

Athens. Feb. 2S.-The entire country
is in a state of intense anxiety and I'M
rest over the situation and there is the
widest speculation as to what the final
outcome will be. The people are deeply
incensed against the. powers for their
Intervention in Crete and their attitude
is causing some apprehension in court
and government circles. King George
today issued proclamation that is
intended to cool the popular passions
and thus avert what might prove a ma
tonal crisis. He enjoins the country
to be calm and dignified and to confide
in the government, which he says is
doing everything possible to uphold the
honor of Greece and maintain the
rights of the Hellenic people.
