Alleged silverites in Utah, who pro-
fess friendship for silver, but march
in the goldbug procession, have quoted
from the columns of the Denver News
as an authority They should not over
look the following from the same pa
per: THE News makes the flat-footed
declaration that the man who supports
the administration Republican party,
directly or indirectly. is, whether he
knows it or not, striking blow at
himself and his interests and at the
interests of his friends and neighbors.
He is committing a wrong against the
state and its people greater than could
be committed in any other way. He is
standing in the way of the most extra
ordinary prosperity that ever came to
any state or any people"

A French statistician and economic
authority has an article in L'Econo-
miste Francois concerning the Cuban
debt before and after the rebellion
broke out in 1895. AS these figures may
play an important part in the peace
conference at Paris, they are given in
substance. NJ. BeauIieu says that the
Cuban debt now is 1882, 100000 francs,
and the debt before 1895 was So, 500. 900
francs. The debt of Spain, including
the cuban debt, is 9.723, 500, coo francs.
In other words, NJ. Beaulieu thinks we
ought to cause Cuba to provide inter
est on at least s172, $685. 600 of debt-the
amount due before the recent rebel
lion began. If Cuba did her full duty
it would pay, he thinks, on S406,50O,O00,
or the whole of the Cuban debt. Not
much danger of that; but it should be
urged by the commissioners from this
country that Cuba should assume the
debt incurred for permanent improve
ments made prior to the breaking out
of the Instruction in February, 1885,
This was Cuban debt pure and sim
pie, endorsed by Spain.

There is something inexpressibly sad
in the death of Captain Allyn Capron,
announced yesterday. He was not only
a brave. but 4 most courageous man;
a natural leader and military au-
thority: an author and hero. His son,
another captain, leading a company of
ro@eh riders in their famous charge
through the Cuban jungle on the first
dag OF the big battle, was killed. The
loving father never rallied from the
blow. The Spanish bullet found its final
Judgment n his owr heart. But he did
his duty TO the end and died while on
a furlough az his Virginia home.

In the House.

Washington, April Awhile there
was no attempt to force consideration
for a resolution regarding the Cuban
situation in the house to-day there was
a brief outbreak in the course of the
warlike temper of the crowded gall
leries, so manifest that Speaker Reed
threatened to clear them If 1t was re-
peated The outbreak occurred over a
bill to authorize the president to erect
temporary Notifications in case of
emergency upon land when the written
consent of the owners was obtained,
without awaiting the long process of
legal condemnation. This led to de-
mand by Mr.. Bailey, the democratic
leader, for information as to the facts
which warranted all these war meas
ures. The particulr statement which
aroused the galleries was to the effect
that while the democrats were willing
to wait any reasonable time for the
president to transmit a message that
would meet the approval of the Ameri-
can people they would not wait min
ute for him to continue negotiations
with the butchers of Spain" When
the demonstrations in the galleries
were rebuked by the speaker, Mr.. Bal
ley declared that the galleries were the
American people in miniature. Mr..
Cannon accused Mr.. Bailey of 'postur-
ing and playing to the galleries. The
bill was passed and it was arranged
that the army reorganization bill
should be taken up on Wednesday un-
less a report was made from the for
eign affairs committee.

last evening by hurry call issued
late yesterday morning. At the drill
the men We're informed as to what
should be done in case the reserve is
called into active service. Lieutenant
Goodridge designated the following as
a special class of seamen who may be
called upon to fill some of the positions
of petty officers in case petty officers
should be needed to help organize new
divisions mother places: Lee, Hyde, Best,

was to have been given on the 18th

1T Is thought that a part of the petty
officers may be sent to some other
towns to help organize new divisions.
One hundred men are said to be all
ready to join in Bridgeport. The First
division has received five new recruits.
In case of war fifteen men, machinists,
electricians, and especially desirable
men have been approached by Lieuten-

their willingness to enlist for the war

equipment will be provided with the

Probability That Mr. Porter VIII Accept
the Presidency.
Much local interest naturally exists
regarding the prospects of the Peck
factory, it having for so many years
been an important factor in the city's
prosperity, and the misfortune that
overlook the concern having been COR
respondingly felt. The question now,
debated is, will Joseph Porter accept
the presidency Of the new company
which the stockholders will organize
before May /? Mr.. Porter when en-
quired Of by Courier representative
last evening said it was true that he
would accept the presidency of the new
company, provided the conditions he
has named are accepted by the stock
holders. One of these conditions is that
sufficient working capital be provided.
This is the main condition. 1t is un-
derstood that the conditions named by
Mr.. Porter will be accepted and that
he will become president of the new
concern. The capital stock of the old
company was 100000 and the stock
holders have assessed themselves fif
teen per cent on that amount to pro-
vide working capital, while they will
also assume and carry some of the
outstanding indebtedness of the con-
cern to help make smooth sailing for
the new company. The receivership
terminates May 2.
In the two years that have elapsed
since the failure the factory has been
kept running much of the time, and
thus has managed to retain a consid-
cradle share Of it's old trade and busi-
ness connections. 1t has of course lost
some of its business during the storm,
but it will emerge therefrom with a
good foundation for future prosperity.
The factory is now running eight hours
| a day with considerable force Of
hands. less, however, by considerable
than the number employed before the
failure. The management of the prop
erty has every confidence that under
| the reorganization it will become a
! prosperous one.

Senator Perkins Makes "A Bitter Speech in
the Senate.
Washington, April At was frankly
and openly charged in the senate to-
day by Mr.. Perkins of California, in a
set speech. that Spain was responsible
for the Maine disaster, as it had been
brought about by Spanish machina-
tions and Spanish treachery. The
speech of Mr.. Perkins was only one of
four addresses upon the Cuban ques-
ton delivered in the senate to-day Mr..
Clay Of Georgia, while hoping for a
peaceful solution of the problem the
country is now facing, declared strong
ly in favor of the independence of the
Cubans, and pledged to the adminis-
tration the loyal support of the south,
which in the event of war would have
to bear the brunt of the controversy
Mr.. Perkins took substantially the
same ground and his vigorous treat
ment of the Maine disaster aroused
the crowded galleries to enthusiastic
applause. Mr.. Mantle of Montana,
while expressing confidence in the
American administration. maintained
that the time for action had now ar
rived and that action must be to the
end that Cuba should be free. Mr..
Rawlins of Utah held that the case
against Spain was already made up,
and that with congress rested the re-
sponsibility of declaring war. For
congress to wait longer was only to
invite criticism. He declared for the
