Though his life was constantly in

the head of few hundred brave fol-

Spaniards TO entrap or kill him were
frutless until the last attempt. Ac-
counts differ as TO how and where his

Ever since his confinement Radcliffe
has been In a highly nervous state, but
has been buoyed up by the hope that
his release would soon come. The news
of his indictment Tuesday for perjury

til he has become often incoherent In
his conversation with his friends and

the overwhelming conspiracy that has
kept him in prison.

Criticised Presidents Remarks,

He quoted the following sentence
from the presidents speech:
Nothing should ever tempt us-noth-
ing ever will tempt us-to scale down
the sacred debt Of the nation through
a legal technicality Whatever may be
the language of the contract, the Unit
ed States will discharge all of its obli-
cation in the currency recognized as tile
best throughout the civilized world at
the time of payment"
Stewart thought this was remark
able statement. which meant simply
that nothing but gold was good enough
for the bondhoder. Mr.. Mckinley, said
Stewart, refers to the option of the gov
ernment to pay its obligations in either
gold or silver as mere technicality
and he did this, too. in the face of his
own vote, in favor of the resolution
we are considering. Now, the presiden'
calls this option of the government
worth thousands Of millions-a mere
technicality.
