SENATOR TELLER'S
 SILVER TALK
fContinued From First Page.1

T
 ->~>------------~-------o-~ July 26 asking for monetary congress, there was no probability of an internation- al agreement. MT. Teller quoted from Gage's statement before the house com mittee indicating that it was the desire of the secretary to commit the country thoroughly to the gold standard.
 He referred in terms of high respect to the secretary personally and expressed his qualification that MT. Gage had the cour- age of his convictions and was willing to stand squarely upon his opinions.
 The secretary was, in the opinion of MT. Teller. an exception in this respect to many other prominent republicans.
 Senator Billie Chandler.
 Mir. Chandler ~said he desired to call the attentionrof the senator from Colorado to a>matter which he was evidently overlook ing. "The point make" said MT. Chand- Ter, ''is that the president of the United States speaks for himself either through state papers or in such other manner as he may deem wise and he is not to be judged by what his secretary of the treas ury may say upon any question. The president must speak for himself and we can not fairly judge him or his opinions by the utterances of anybody else."
 MT. Chandler maintained that the sena- tor from Colorado CTeler) was doing much to prevent successful fruition of the ef- forts to bring about international bi- metallism. He thought that such efforts as the senator was making were not only unfair, but unwise, in view of his CTell- er's) heretofore expressed desire to bring aboirt international bi-metallism. He hoped. therefore, that he would do noth- ing to paralyze the efforts now making in favor of an international agreement upon the silver question.
 True to Bimetallism.
 "I should like to bring about information al bi-metallism' said MT. Teller, and 1 think 1 have done as much to bring it about as any man 9uthis chamber if I except the senator whoSsits in front of me (Allson). When he returned from Europe however, without success. I felt that 1t

Thanks to TammanY.

Mr. Cummings (dem.) of New York made vigorous speech in favor of wipng out the civil service system, which he declared was doomed. He made speech In defense of Tammany Hall and warmly defended 1t against its accusers. He maintained that the arguments of Mir. Grosvenor and MT. Landis against the law were both In real ity strong arraignments of the spells sys- tenn.
 MT. Gillette commented wittily on the snectacle of the white-haired veteran, Gen. Grosvenor, leading the young hotspurs or the marty in the battle for the spells, and said it recalled to his mind the words Macauley placed in the mouth of Henry oi Navarro at the battle of Ivry:
 "Press where you see my white plume
 shine midst the ranks of war,
 And be your oriflamme of day the head of
 Grosvenor."
 Mr. Cummings announced himself an inn piacable foe of the whole system of civil service reform
 | What Conxling Said. Roscoe Conlkling, in his opinion the greatest senator New York had ever | known, had once spoken he said, of "the dreary drivel of snivel service reform U He had never appreciated 1t so much as he had during this debate. MT. Cummings said the hostility to the system had been steadily growing. "The system is doomed" said he, "and one of the factors in its destruction is Tammany hall"
 MT. Burton, of Ohio, followed in de- fense of the merit system. He inveighed | against the insolence of office seekers and argued that this was not government for | the reward of party workers. MT. Kerr, (rep.) of Ohio, favored the modification of the law. At the close of MT. Kerrs speech the house adjourned.

 Held By the Money Power,
 Incidentally MT. Teller drifted into dis cussion of the foreign relations of the United States. He maintained that the money power held the country so firmly within it's grasp that the government was unable to take such action upon the for eign questions as the people desired. He hoped the time would soon come when we could say to fifth-rate power like Spain, sTake your hands off that bountiful island -an island which you have nearly depop- ulated," and say it, too. without fear of the opposition of the money power.
 ''I do not believe" said Mir. Teller, that war would result if we should put our hands out to help Cuba. The French came to us at a time when we were struggling as are the Cubans, and 1t Is doubtful whether we could have achieved our inde- pendence without their aid"
 Doomed in 1900.
 Reverting to the financial question, MT Teller said: q attack the republican par ty because 1t is the party of gold standard hope to see it go down in 19OO and pledge you that will do eYarything in my power to drag 1t down. Its policy Is not such as is demanded by great and free people. I have no quarrel with the presi- dent, but he stands for the gold standard, a policy which, in my judgment, will i'm poverish and wreck our people"
 MT. Butler, of North Carolina, presented a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution providing for the elec- ton of federal Judiciary by the people, The resolution went to the table to permit MT. Butler to make a speech on 1t.

A Hero just the Same.

IN respect to personal bravery there
are just as true heroes as Hobson
but who go down TO unknown graves.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer tells the
story of Michae Grunditch. a section
hand on the Erie railroad. who sacrificed
his life in that city the other day to save
the lives of a trainload of passengers.
Grunditch and his fellow section hands
were at work on the Erie track when a
passenger train came laundering to-
wards them. The men jumped aside to
let the train pass. Grunditch saw a
heavy crowbar lying on the track. He
saw In a flash the peril to the train and
its human load. He jumped for the bar.
snatched IL as the wheels of the locomo-
tive were almost upon IT. fiung II aside.
and was himself caught by the iron
pilot of the locomotive, thrown into the
ditch, n killed by the blow. He had
load of people who were utter strangers
to him.. What greater heroism can there
be than that? Michael Grunditch was
poor. He came from his PARKWAY Aus
TRAN home To toll for his wife and two
babies left behind and to whom his body
will be sent. Poor. a humble tciler, a
stranger in a strange land, Michael
Grunditch was a hero whose brave deed
should not be forgotten. He went to his
death as bravely an Hooson and his gall
liant comrades went to their anticipated
fate. They escaped. and a whole ma
ton glories in their daring and r~ejoices
in their escape. Michael Grunditch had
no thought Of fame. He had no chance
of escape. He succeeded in what he un-
dertook and paid the penalty.

1.-THE Chicago Chronicle suggests

THE Chicago Chronicle suggests
that IL might be wroth while to
investigate the story Of defective
pro5ectiles. even though II comes from
Spanish sources. IF IL be true, as
Claimed by Blanco. that fully one-half
the shells fired at the Matanzas forts
failed to explode the explanation might
account for the act that the mortality
on that occasion was limited to the one
historic mule. Most of our projectiles,
both for h army and the navy, are
manufactured by private contract. Are
the contractors %swindling us as the
Spanish contractors have been proved to
be swindling Spain? The experience of
the government with Mr.. Blowhole
Carnegie and his armor plate does not
inspire confidence in the impeccability
of ammunition contractors. and the sub
ject is worth investigating. We are
having none too easy a job with the
hidalgoe as II Is. We can't afford to be
handicapped by sa wdust bombshells."

stamps him as a bastard. Among the

recently expelled from there by Blanco
for aiding American women has ar
rived at Jamaica and brings informa-
ton Of a deplorable condition Of affairs
in the beleaguered city. She saws that
many deaths are occurring daily from
starvation and that the mortality must
largely increase as food becomes
scarcer.
The supplies contributed by Ameri-
cans for the relief Of the
trados and which were turned over to
the British consul when Consul General
Lee withdrew, have been coniscated
by the Spaniards and are now being
used by the troops and the hangers
on at the palace. AS a result of this
confiscation. the soldiers are provided
with full rations for two months and
the palace officials are in no danger of
going hungry for three months.
There is little food for the civil popu-
lation and the continuance of the block
ade means intense suffering and a big
death rate. According to the statement
of the Red Cross worker. there are
the destitute one hundred and
twenty American women and children
and nearly three hundred Europeans.
IL was supposed that all the Ameri-
cans. especially women and children,
had left Havana before General Lee
departed. IL the large number re-
ported is now suffering there. they un-
doubtedly have themselves to blame for
not having taken advantage of the op-
p~ortunity to leave with the other refu-
