yer Resolutions
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April T.
About five hundred persons were present
when President Reedy called the con-
vention Of the League of Bimetallic Clubs
to order today. New officers were elected
as follows: President, J. P. Tarvin Of
Kentucky; Vice Presidents, N. r.
Rucker Of Ohio, F. ]. VanVoorhees of
Indiana, A. c. Bentley Of Illinois.
Resolutions presented by Chairman D.
E. Moorse were adopted. They regard
the financial question as "The paramount
issue" and pledge support Of the league
to securing free and unlimited coinage Of
silver and gold at the ratio Of 16 to 1; un-
alterably opposed to the single gold stan
dard: declare that Congress alone has
power to coin and issue money and that
this power should not be delegated to in
dividuals or corporations, and express
continued confidence in W. J. Bryan.
A resolution Of sympathy for Cuban
patriots and in favor of Intervention by
he United States was also adopted. VIM.
]. Bryan spoke at the afternoon session.
An audience Of between 5000 and 60Oo peo-
pie greeted William ]. Bryan at the Tom
linson hall tonight. Bryan spoke for an
hour and a half, mainly on the currency
question. He touched upon the Cuban
question casually. He said that his life had
all been spent since the war and mat he
had always heard 1t ins!nuated that the
Democrats were not as patriotic as they
should be. He was sure that the patriot
ism Of Democrats had been demonstrated
in the Cuban situation.
At o'clock Mr.. Bryan and other prom
inent visitors were given reception by
the Commercial club and board Of trade,
when Mr.. Bryan, Chairman Towne and
George Fred Williams spoke to the busi-
ness men. Mr.. Williams said that the in

tions late In the day showed that the re-
ononse Of the president had created most
favorable impression in foreign quarters.
The presidents answer was looked upon,
to some extent, as a counter-appeal to the
powers for their cooperation In the cause
OF humanity against the intolerable condi-
tion of affairs in Cuba. In some diplomatic
quarters there was a disposition to read
the Joint note between the lines and to
give 1t a suggestive character beyond the
mild phrases adopted. This was not the
generally accepted view, however.
The favorable manner Of It's decision was
looked upon as wise move at this critical
juncture, for, without rejecting as an In
trusion these foreign suggestions, they
were so received as to give the greatest
promise of sympathy rather than opposi-
tfon from the most powerful joint infiu-
ences in the world.
At the Capitol the situation was ardent
ly discussed among individuals and came
up for debate in both houses. Senator Nor
gan of Alabama said he was ready to vote
for a declaration Of war, in discussing an
amendment to the sundry civil bill. In the
house significant declaration was that OF
Gen. Grosvenor, who declared he peneVeo
war was inevitable. In fact, the speech
made by Gen. Grosvenor, in sanswer TO
charges against the administration by
Lentz of Ohio, was an important contribu-
ton to the news of today. The Importance
of Gen. Lees kilograms was considered by
members not to have been overest1mated,
and the impression that the president was
amply justified in Withholding his message
became a conviction. This fact was en-
phasized by the adjournment until Monday
Of both houses.
WAR MUST COME
The opinion in the senate and house is
that war must come. Even the most op-
timistic of the conservative senators have
given up hope of a peaceful settlement.
great deal of consideration was given by
senators and representatives to form OF
action. On this point there is wide di-
vergence of opinion, but 1t has assumed
two distinct positions. One is the recogni-
tion of independence of the island, coupled
with armed intervention to drive out the
Epaniards, and the other is armed inter-
vention with a declaration that Cuba shall
be free.
The desire on the part of those favoring |
the latter plan is not to recognize the in
eurgents and their government or any gov
ernment until after the United States has |
control of the island. The latter plan is |
said to be that of the president, and ef- |
forts are being made to have 1t adopted |
so there will be no division between the
executive and legislative branches of the |

from 2. variety Of directions. Notwith-
standing our extreme confidence in the
power Of sound money to shut ev-

that the legislative investigating COM

tending to show that Mr.. Hanna 5
