FOREIGN PRESS OPINION.
McKinley's Message Praised I'm some
Quarters and Denounced I'm Others.

London. April 12.-The Pail Mall Ca
zette regards President McKinley's mes
sage as a strong and temperate state
ment of the case against Spain. He up
holds Intervention merely in order TO end
the war, leaving the ultimate destiny of
Cuba to be decided according TO circum-
stances. The Presidents attitude, the
Gazette says. is constitutionally correct
in throwing the responsibility for action
upon Congress. The final decision ought
clearly to rest with the people. As re-
CARDS Spain's last concessions. they cam
not effect the ultimate settlement IF

adds, "were TO come out of delay il is
clear that the monarchy is not worth

Berlin. April 12.-President Mckinley's
message to the United States Congress is
considered diliatory and is not regarded
as indicating peace. 1t is argued that If
the President really entertained pacific
intentions he would acknowledge Spain's
concession Of an armistice to Cuba. The
consensus of opinion is that peace cam
not be long maintained.

Alberta. Judge Kimball sent her TO

Eext annual convention was deferred until
the spring meeting of the council, which
meeting will occur in New York. There
were receptions to the delegates and their
friends this afternoon at the home of Presi-
dent c. B. KountZe, of the Colorado Ma
tional bank at the Overland park club
house and at the smelters.
This evening an excursion left here with
several hundred of the visitors to take in
Colorado Springs, Pixies Peak, Pueblo and
the Cripple Creek district.
Commerce. of Kansas City, Mo-, speaking
before the convention to-day. declared that
the West had seen enough of currency is
sues by local banks. The banking business,
he asserted, was highly developed all over
the country.
In the East, large commerce had led to
the establishment of banks of large capital.
while in the West smaller commerce had
been satisfied with smaller banks. In the
had been so excessive that the banking
business is not profitable and, consequently,
in many cases. not safe. He advocated the
branch bank system as the remedy for the
trouble. Large city banks should absorb
small country banks; then plethora Of
money could not exist in one locality while
on unsatisfied demand existed in another.
with Mr.. Royals assertion that country
districts lack banking facilities-especially
in the West. He quoted figures to show
the amount Of money In country banks in
Kansas.
John P. Branch president of the Mer-
chants National bank of Richmond. Va,
disagreed with all suggestions. He favored
permitting country banks to issue currency
on the same terms as city banks.

The big auditorium tent had been hand

JERRY SIMPSON, OF KANSAS, ONE OF
THE SPEAKERS.
HIS IDEA OF P0PULIST DUTY
FIRST EFFORT SHOULD BE TO SE-
CURE FREE SILVER.
Senator Marion Butler Urges Coop
Grafton Among All the Friends
of Free SiIyer-TOm Patter-
son Scared About the
Philippines.

DENVER COL, Aug. GA basket pic
mic was held this afternoon and tonight at
Elitch's gardens under the auspices of the
leaders of the Populist party of Colorado.
At the meeting this afternoon Senator
Marion c. Butler, of North Carolina, ma
tional chairman OF the Populist party, was
the principal speaker. T. NJ. Patterson,
proprietor of the Rocky Mountain News.
acted as chairman Of the meeting. In his
opening remarks Mr.. Patterson said that
the free silver men of the nation forced the
Republican administration to declare war
against Spain. and predicted that, after
having won the Philippines by force of
arms the administration would relinquish
them TO Spain. He advocated the reten-
tion of the islands by this government. Mr.
Patterson favored united action by all sill
yer forces until the money question is set
tied.
Senator Butler devoted most of his ad-
dress to urging cooperation between his
party and all other friends of silver in
the coming campaign. He said the worst
enemies of the silver cause were those
who We're trying to divide its friends be-
cause they differed on other questions. He
talked at length on trusts. He claimed
that the greater number of trusts owed
their existence to the gold standard. Free
silver. he said. by increasing the volume
of money, raising prices and increasing
business. would rapidly drive trusts to the
wall. Nearly all other trusts. he said. were
dependent upon private ownershpS of
means of transportation and communities
ton.
He said both the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties had claimed to be the enc
mics of trusts. and both had enacted anti
trust laws: still trusts prospered as they
never did before. The Populist party pro-
posed to abolish trusts by removing the
causes that produced them.
He urged the friends of silver in all par
ties TO work together and declared that
silver forces In North Carolina. resulting
in the election of gold standard congress-
men from that state this fall.
Senator Butler declared that the nation
needed big navy, and said he would vote
for one, but declared that the work of the
volunteers In Cuba. and the Philippines
proved that large regular army is not
necessary.
Jerry Simpson. of Kansas. was the prin-
cipal speaker at the night meeting. He
congratulated the Populst party on its
progress and the fact that many of Its
creeds had been adopted by the Democrats
and were even becoming popular with men,
bers of other parties He had no regard for
mere party name and cared only for the
principles il stood for. He believed it the
duty of Populists to join with all other
friends of free silver to secure the party's
eirrs IN that respect. and then 90 on in the
hCNf for the other principles of the party.

AFTER BOYLE WITH A STICK.
State Officers Whom He Sighted at
wichita Are on the War
Dath.

TOPEKA, Aug. 25.-tSpecialo Auditor
Morris, Secretary Bush. Treasurer Hefle-
bower and Superintendent Stryker are
waiting impatiently for Attorney General
Boyle to return from Wichita, when they
will arraign him for ignoring them in the
Wichita speech. Boyle tossed numerous
bouquets at his own department, COM
mended Webb McNall and praised Leedy
generously in his speech, but not a single
word did he utter concerning the remain
ing officers.
This has angered them greatly, and they
will proceed to pay their respects to Boyle
upon his return home. This is the third
time Boyle has sighted these men, and
they will demand that he mend his ways
in future speeches.
