eugene ". Debs and Two OF His Frfends
Provide RalRrled Positions for Them
selves in the Newly Launched "social
Democracy"
Chicago, June 22.-At meeting last
night of the directors of the Social De-
mocracy of America the following Off
GERS were elected: e. v. Debs, chair
man; Sylvester Kelliher, secretary;
James Hogan, vice president; William
E. Burns, general organizer. The di-
rectors who chose these officers and
were themselves elected at the meeting
in the afternoon are: e. V. Debs,
Sylvester kelliher, James Hogan, Will
liam e. Burns and Leroy Goodwin,
The salary of the officers was placed
at 500 per month. At the afternoon
meeting the constitution of the Social
Democracy, which has been published,
was formally ratified and adopted.
Mr.. Debs explained 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 esta blishing the col
ony he would secure political control of
the state and start the cooperative
commonwealth.
The first thing we would do after getting
control, he said, would be to call special ses-
sion of the Legislature. Then we would call q
convention to revise the constitution and get
all the rot out of it. We will have control OF
the taxing power and can tax syndicates and
land sharks out of the state. Persons shall be
taxed according to their means and shall have
according to their needs. We will have trusts,
nothing but trusts in our state, but we will all
be in the trust The operatives will not work
~ or IA hours day, but four or five. We will
be in the field in 1900 with new party. These
men who represent the new life are going to
mite foI the overthrow of commercialiSm and
the establishment of the cooperative common
wealth by which the brotherhood of man vii
become fact, 1 do not know whether this
| question will be solved peaceably or otherwise,
| believe in getting ready for any solution tina
may be necessary.
Mr.. Debs said that in setting up the
cooperative commonwealth in Wash
ington the colonists might be running
against the supreme court. He would
consult good lawyers and learn just
what the rights of the colonists were.
1--WE want to know our rights" he
said, land make them the rebels. II
they send the military to invade our
rights then there will be an army OF
800, 900 patriots on the state line to
| meet them on that issue" "

MANY nldders for Torpeao noata.

Washington, June 22.-The opening
at the navy department yesterday OF
proposals for building three torpedo
boats called together many bidders. 1t
was noticeable that the largest ship
building concerns in the United States
appeared as competitors for the little
boats, while heretofore they have
often disregarded such work. The
boats are to be of the highest speed.
The contracts will demand not less
than 80 knots per hour. 1t is scarcely
possible, until the bids have been care
fully examined by experts, to say
which are the lowest bids.

nouncing the home and foreign policy
of the premier and his conduct during
the recent crisis. The meeting re-
solved to issue manifesto character
izing the proposed reforms of Canovas
as inadequate and suggest the replace
ment of Gen. Weyler by governor
who will continue the war in accord
ance with civilized practices, the stop
ping of the reign of terror and devas-
tation of property in Cuba, and the ap-
pointment of civilian as royal com
missioner with full powers, distinct
from the military authorities, to exc

A Prominent Populist Makes Startling
Charges Against the e1-Candidate FOR
President.
Lewiston, Me-, June 22..,Prof. L. c.
Bateman, of Auburn, who was the
candidate of the peoples party of
Maine for governor last year, and who
is leader of the middle of the road"
forces in this state, yesterday pub
lished an attack on William j. Bryan.
Prof. Bateman says that populist Con-
gressman Freeman Knowles, of South
Dakota, while on his recent trip TO his
old home in Skowhegan, Maine, gave
out the information that Mr.. Bryan's
recent gift of 81, 500 to the populist ma
tional committee was made with the
distinct understanding that no action
against fusion should be taken by the
peoples party before the next national
convention.
This, Bateman says, is nothing more
nor less than direct bribery Prof
Bateman also says that Bryan has ap-
pended his (Bateman's) name to Sena-
tor Aliens letter of notification given
out last September. Bateman was sec
retary of the notification committee,
but did not sign the letter in question.
He says that Bryan's action in print
ing his name on the letter in his new
book is an act of political forgery.
Prof Bateman is a delegate to the
middle of the road" national confer
ence at Nashville, Tenn, July 4. He
says he will bring these matters before
