A dispatch says that ''friends OF
Judge William Spangler, of Wilma
mac, are urging him to enter the
race for United States senator to
succeed Senator Turpie. The judge
has not yet announced himself as a
candidate, but his son, who is one of
the leading politicians of the state,
and who is now at Indianapolis
looking after his fathers interests in
the matter, has said he would enter
the race in due time, with the united
support of the Thirteenth district"
This announcement will create more
or less surprise in some parts of the
Thirteenth district and a number of
the mem bers-elect of the general
assembly will wonder where Mr..
Spangler, jr., received the informa~
ton upon which he made the asser-
ton credited to HIM as they are
known to be unpledged. 1t is like
ly that Mr.. Spangler, jr., has been
in the matter.

MUST WORK AS A UNIT
The Silver Forces of the Country
Must Unite.
IRRESPECTIVE OF PARTY
Hon. Thomas G. Merrill of the Ameri-
can Bimetallic League Gives His
Views on the Coming Fight.
10 to /. the Only Ratio.

There must be a union of all silver
forces, democrats, silver republicans
and populists. irrespective of party af-
filiation, if silver is to win in the next
election, says Hon. Thomas G. Merrill,
treasurer of the American BimetaIlic
league. Mr.. Merrill is in the city for
a few days looking after mining in
terests in this section. Owing to his
prominence as silver man, he was
asked last evening for his views rela-
tive to the letters of the chairmen of
the three political organizations which
supported the silver cause in the last
national campaign calling upon all the
silver forces to stand together.
Mr.. Merrill replied that it was his
opinion that all the forces should unite
and as regards to the ratio, he said
there could be no other than Is to |.
MIR. Merrill said:
Those who are earnest in the cause
of bimetallism, including Senator
Jones, chairman of the national demo-
cratic committee; Senator Butler,
chairman of the populist national COM
mittee; ex-Congressman Towne, at the
head of the silver republican forces;
Senator Teller and w. j. Bryan, are
to be trusted and the addresses of the
three former to the bimetallists of the
United States should command the inn
plicit confidence of all earnest support
ers of bimetallsm. Those addresses to
the bimetallists of the country must
receive our united support If we ex-
pect success. The entire power and in
fluence of those seeking to fasten the
gold standard upon this country will
be devoted to keeping the bimetallic
forces separate if possible, and should
they succeed, we shall again be de-
feated.
1T seems to be condition, as has
occurred before, when the appeal was
made TO unite, followed by the injunc-
ton that if we did not hang together
we would all hang separately, and | be-
lieve the bimetallic forces of the coun-
try to-day appreciate the Importance of
this as they never did before.
There is no other ratio than Is to l,
as all earnest, loyal workers for the
cause fully understand. and those sug-
costing or advocating any other ratio.
either do not understand the question
of bimetallilsm or are not loyal To the
cause, and we might just as we'll con-
cede the gold standard as to COM
promise the fight by adopting any 9TH
er ratio, as ii would be a compromise
in line with the Sherman act, which
has been the most effective agency to
prevent bimetallism."

Works ON a New Line.

When Miss Julia Carroll of st. Louis
she decided that the best way to sue
coed was to strike out on a line different
from the ones that everybody else fol-
lows. She discovered and filled a long
felt want" and the result has been as
she hoped. She made up her mind that
there was a need for something to sup
ply ladies of fashion with really dis
tinctive novelties in tea gowns, bridal
outfits and dainty lingerie.
She associated herself with Miss Har-
mann Brown. a connection of a wealthy
family Of that name. They rented a
suite of rooms in West Thirty EIGHT
street. furnished and decorated them
daintily in white and green, with dra-
per!es of pink. and invited the ladies of
fashion. They came. and, contrasting
the elegance of the surroundings with
the crowded stores where they had been
wont to make such purchases, agreed a
want was indeed filled.
Every afternoon at tea Is served in
the parlors. The atmosphere is laden
with the fragrance of roses. The beau
tiful creations Of the young ladies skill
are shown in subdued light. The par
lors are always crowded.
Miss Carroll is the daughter of Mrs
Belle Castleman Carroll. who repre-
scented st. Louis at the Atlanta and
Nashville exposition. Her dainty crea-
tions are said To show originality and
taste, and so command a good price.

THE LATEST STORY.
Divers Filled the Torpedo Holes of the
Mninc With Dynamite.


Key West. Feb. 27.-The latest story
as to the way the Maine was blown up
is contained in letter forwarded by n
secret Cuban club i'm Havana to j. NJ.
GOWN. a Cuban insurance agent here.
The club received ii the course OF ordi-
nary mail. Ii was written in English
but was signed "Maquinist" machin-
isD.
After long preamble saying that the
writer knew the Names fate was due
TO a Spanish plot. the letter goes on to
say that in an old warehouse at Santa
Catalina. 200 yards from where the
Maine was moored. some diving appar-
atus had been hidden, and that from
this base two divers had worked by
night and filled the torpedo holes of the
Maine with the dynamite cartridges
connected with battery to the land by
which the cartridges were exploded.
According to the letter the divers
We're 10 have been paid a large sum
which has not been forthcoming. The
Cubans in Key West say that the in
yestigation in Havana has tended to
confirm the statements of the letter,
which viii go before the court of in
quiry. An officer of the Maine whose
attention was called to the story to-day
asserted positively that the torpedo
holes of the Maine had not been opened
during her stay in the harbor.
