New York, May 12.-The Evening Posts London financial cablegram says:
 The stock markets were fairly good to- day, but less active and confident. The settlement has been satisfactorily con- cluded. Americans were sold from good quarters, but New York appeared to absorb all the stock offered
 Spain Is buying silver, hence the rise.
 The inquiry for money in connection with expected large borrowings at the Bank of Berlin causes the strength of the London money market.

vious conyeyances OF the land to Rosser

graphic account of the St. Paufs light

and the third-class Spanish cruiser lsa-

reference 10 the result of the encounter
the Budget saws: I'VE know that the
Terror was struck three times. and that
one shot entering the engine-rOom, killed
an engineer and fireman. And from What
we regard as trustworthy Information, We
are inclined 20 think she was seriously
damaged, requiring the assistance OF

The budget has no editorials, but 10

Leader Who Doesn't Lead.

The feelings Of William j. Bryan
couldn't have been OF the most joyful
kind when ne read the platform of the
Democratic party Of Georgia, adopted by
its State convention, which met in At
lanta on Wednesday. In that platform
he is referred 70 as the leader OF the
national Democracy but is told that he
doesn't lead the Democracy. To be
placed In such "a POSITION cannot be
gratifying 20 Mr. Bryan.
What is IL that the platform says
which refers 10 Mr. Bryan? In one place
is found the following: ITO the brilliant
leader Of the Democratic party in the
last national campaign, William j. Bryan.
we extend assurances Of our profound
esteem and undiminished confidence"
In an another place there is declara-
ton, as follows:
"As to the incidental questions that
will arise as the result OF the war we
believe that the people can safely be
trusted 10 dispose OF every such question
in a manner which will be i'm keeping
with the spirit Of our institutions and in
harmony with the principles and the re-
cord of the Democratic party.
This country should first address its
undivided attention and throw it's full
energy to securing decisive results in
the war with Spain rather than engage
in political controversy over issues which
are yet unshaDed, and which. I'm the ma
ture OF things cannot be intelligently
discussed until the termination OF the
war enables us 90 take a definite inven-
tory OF its assets. for the satisfactory
disposal Of which our country must as
sumo responsibility"
Here 90 IS distinctly stated that issues
arising ont Of the war are unshaped, and
cannot be intelligently discussed until
the termination OF the war makes Il
possible 10 take a definite inventory OF
its assets"
Every intelligent reader. however,
knows that Mr.. Bryan has discussed pub
Hciy the most important issues growing
out Of the war. and has taken a very
decided stand In regard 70 them In HIS
Omaha speech. delivered recently, he
condemned the policy ~ territorial ex-
pansion and expressed the opinion that
it would be a sad day for this country
If Il should be decided 20 retain perma-
nent possession Of The Philippine Islands
and other territory which we might ac-
quire from Spain
MT Bryan s. now told by the Georgia
Democracy that the questions which he
discussed so eloquently, ana concerning
which he expressed such decided opinions
in his Omaha exposition address. cannot.
al this time. be discussed intelligently.-
