committee having authority to fiji the

Donald, of the county of New York,
for the place. Mr.. George in his letter
says that by pursuing uninterruptedly
the duty of writing his fathers biog-
raphy he can do more for the principles
Of freedom than by engaging actively
In politics. Mr. George continues:
II should say, In justice to myself
and to those who honestly advance the
silver question to the rank of first i'm
pOrtance, that / am no more than my
father was an advocate of free coinage.
He condemned It's economic soundness,
being in fact a believer neither in gold
nor silver, but In credit or paper money.
He supported the Chicago platform
not on account Of, but in spite Of, It's
advocacy Of free silver. because he be-
lieved that in other respects It stood
for the principles Of freedom; because
It took the side Of the weak as against
that of the monopolist; because 1t
sided with the house of want against
the house of have. am in entire accord
with those views, and l think it proper
to state them frankly, that there may
be no room for misunderstanding on
the part of any"

OUR WARSHIPS FOR CHINA.
Baltimore and Petrol VIII Go as Near
rs Possible to Pelkin.


Washington, oct. 4.-Secretary Long,
upon advices received at the state de-
partment showing the existence of
threatening conditions in China, has
ordered Admiral Dewey to send two
warships Immediately from Manila to
point as near the Chinese capital as
possible for a warship to approach.
The vessels selected for the undertake
ing are the Baltimore and the PetreL
It is expected that the Baltimore will
not be able to get beyond the Taku
forts at the entrance Of the Pang- He
river, upon which Pekin Is situated,
but the Petrel, being Of smaller pro-
portions, may be able TO reach Tien-
Tsin, so miles above the mouth and
about the same distance below Pekin
The officials keenly regret that there
Is not now on the Asiatic a ligh
draught gunboat of the Helena class
which could ascend the river as ia,
as the Chinese capital.
Secretary Long said the sole pur
pose of ordering the Baltimore and tn
Petrol to Chinese waters was to safe
guard American interests and proteC
life and property of American citizen
! in the event of an outbreak in the In
| terror.
