Passed up the Delaware.

The American Line steamer St. Paul,
which has been chartered by the govern
ment. passed up the Delaware river
early yesterday morning to Cramps
shipyard to be converted into al alXili-
ary cruiser. Many Wilmingtonians
watched her progress. She reached New
York on Saturday evening, from South
ampton, and the work of discharging her
was carried on with all possible haste,
and On Sunday morning she was ready
to leave for Philadelphia.
At $50 o'clock Sunday evening she
passed up from the Delaware capes, and
was brought to anchor at a point in the
river, it being deemed too great a risk
to bring the vessel all the way to pc t
last night.
A large force OF men were Immediately
placed at work on the steamer when she
reached Cramps, and the changes
necessary to make her All auxiliary
cruiser Will be completed in as short II
time as possible.
The next vessel OF the American Line
that will arrive at Cramps to be con.
verted into a cruiser will be the st.
Louis, which sailed on Saturday from
Southampton for New York.
1t was announced yesterday that the
steamers Paris and New York, also
chartered from the American Line by
the government, would come to Cramps
yard for the necessary alterations.
The New York left Southampton in
ballast for New York on Saturday, three
hours after the St. Louis. The Paris is
due tomorrow at Southampton from
New York, and her cargo will be inn
mediately discharged, and the vessel will
start back for New York in ballast

GRAND JURY RECONVENES
To Take Testimony in the Boggs
Case.
WAS Mr.. DANNY A WITNESS.
Supposition That Something will
be Made Known Today in the
LOOting of First National
Bank of Dover.

| The interest in the case of William N.
Boggs and those who materially assis-
ted him in the l0oting of the First Ma
tional Bank, of Dover, is still unabated
The Grand Jury of the United States
District Court reconvened in the Federal
building yesterday morning and at LAO
O'Clock the members retired to the room
assigned them for the purpose of taking
more testimony in reference to the case.
The jury continued in session until
few minutes after the noon hour and
again went into session at 2 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon.
1t is alleged that John H. Dandy,
cashier of the Union National Bank Of
This city, who had been subpoenaed as
witness in the morning claimed the
entire attention of the grand jury in the
afternoon.
They remained in session until after 5
o'clock, which is considered as some.
what unusual as the regular hour for ad-
journment is o'clock.
What the testimony was that was al
legged to have been given by Mr. Dandy
is not known, but it is stated that it
abounded in sensational features.
Whether any part of this had any ref
erence to United States Senator Richard
Rollins Kenney or John f. Salisbury
could not be ascertained.
Among those who visited the district
attorneys Office yesterday were: H. A.
Richardson, William N. Boggs, Irving
Boggs and Ezekiel Cooper.
Mrs. William N. Boggs arrived at the
Federal Building at nOOn and dined
there with her husband.
No indictments have as yet been pre-
sented by the grand jury, but it is
thought possible that something will be
known before the jury adjourns today.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Both thu
Senate and Congress declared war agains

prolonged conference which lasted all O.
last evening and up until the time speci
fed.
Under the joint resolutions adopted
the entire responsibility rests with Presi.
dent Mckinley and he will be compelled
to act Immediately.
The scene when the text of the full
resolution became known surpasses de-
scription and cheers resounded on all
sides, together with manifestations OF
the widest enthusiasm.
The resolution as passed was as fol-
First. That the people of the Island OF
Cuba are right and must be free and in
dependent
Second. That it is the duty OF the
United States to demand and the Gov
.ernment of the United States does and
hereby demand that the Government of
Spain at once relinquish its authority
and government in the Island OF Cuba
and withdraw its land and naval forces
from Cuba and Cuban waters.
Third. That the President of the
United States be and hereby is directed
and empowered to use the entire land
and Naval force OF the United States and
call into the actual service OF the United
States the militia of the several States to
such extent as may be necessary to carry
these resolutions into effect.
Fourth. That the United States hereby
disclaims any disposition or intention to
exercise sovereignty jurisdiction or con-
troll over the said Island except for the
pacification thereof and asserts its de-
termination when this is accomplished
to leave the government and control OF
the Island to its people.
The preamble to this resolution speaks
of Spain's barbaiity and cruelty to the
horror of an outraged and Christianizcd
world denounces Spain as blowing up
the Maine while the battleship lay in
supposed pcaccable waters and the send
ing of 2GG brave American sailors to

the two Colorado Senators. who arc
both for silver, It cannot be said that
Senator Teller, who left his party for
free coinage, has accomplished any
more for It than has Senator Wolcott,
who remains true to his party
Senator Teller upon the fOor OF the
Senate has continually advanced aud
advocated the silver cause, He is re.
cognized in the nation as the foremost
advocate Of that cause and the char
acter and effect of his work Is known
and felt all over this country. On the
contrary Senator Wolcott is recognized
as an administration adherent who
must, at least 10y analogy, be known as
gold standard advocate and thus
even If he docs attempt to advance the
silver cause his efforts are negatived In
advance The Enquirer speaks of the
bimelalic commission headed by Sen
ator Wolcott, and says that at one
time it looked as though that commits
sion would prove success.p In point
Of fact, rs the Enquirer must know the
object OF the mission was discredited
at the start on account of the well
known feelings of its members on the
question, aud to Senator Wolcott Is
largely due the failure, acting as we
believe under instructions from Nc
Kinley The Enquirer says: 1--WE be.
llove that the silver question can alone
be settled 10y the Republican party"
That is only partisan conclusion
which is not borne out ia any way
either by the facts or Indications. The
Enquirer closes by saying;
Gan such differences as may exist
on any important question, such as
silver, eau be better settled within the
party than without its ranks.'
Yet what reason in Justice can be
advanced to show that the Republican
party will ever settle the question
other than It is already settled by that
party with the absolute gold standard?
The Enquirer itself Is an outspoken
and belligerant advocate of the st.
Louis platform, which declares that
''the existing gold standard must be
maintained" Isn't 1t rather a nervy
proposition for them now 20 ask that
the Republican party or lis members
be allowed to settle the silver question
within the party?" No parer of even
greater standing than the Enquirer can
detract from the standing of Senators
Teller OF Colorado, Jones and Stewart
of Nevada; and its constant efforts 10
deprecate the work OF Senators Cannon
end Rawlins of Utah shows It's deep

much Of the following extract from an

I'm all probability the opposition

Roberts, for which he is doubtless pre-
pared. The Herald will defend his
Democracy and the political rights Of
the people he represents. 1t will abide
by the decision of the State conyen-
ton, and give Its hearty support to the
party and the platform.
So far as THE DEMOCRAT is cou-
cerned, we will say that II necessary
we win defend both the personal and
political reputation of any candidate
on our ticket, If necessary, as well as
both the party and the platform. We
hardly think, however, that any will
need defense. The language Of the
Herald Is all right, but its intent is
purposely perverted and distorted by
the Tribune. We believe the Herald
stands for all. the Democratic party,

Either Senator Cannon will succeed
himself or Utah will give silver Il

down the fact will of course be ac-
cepted by the gold bug East as evil
dencc that Utah is faithless TO silver
Bingham Bulletin.
Why so? Senator Cannon still re.
tains the word Republican" in the
definition Of his political faith. To
tho world and particularly to Eastern
people and politicians the word IRE
publican" is synonymous with the gold
standard, We do not question the
loyalty in fact Of Senator Cannon
10 true bimetallsm. but why should
not the election OF sterling Demo
crat. the very name of whose party
stands for blmetallism, mean as much
or more to the believers in bimetallism
as the reelection Of our senior Senator.
1t Is the principle more than the man
for which we contend aud 10 our mind
the reelection Of Senator Cannon will
mean nothing more than the choice of
man who has been true despite his
party, while the election OF a Demo-
crat IN his place will show the perfect
allegiance o. the people of Utah to the
cause Of true bimelallism which is
synonymous with Democracy.

THE local administration organ says:
"The taxpayers would be benefited
by change of party administration in
this county. The offices have become
booty among the Democrats, to be dis
tributed according to the work done
for the party, which was the chief
argument used In the case of Otto f.
Malmberg. When party thinks that
offices are only spoils for rewardng
the best party workers, IL is time that
-lhe people turned that party down"
Considering the fact that the affairs
Of the county during the past two years
have MS the record shows, been most
ably and economically administered,
the people do not agree with the En-
luirer, They are not looking for nor
do they desire change. AS to Mr..
Malmberg, every one recognizes his
ability aud his sterling merit as a citi.
zen. Because he has been faithful
party worker in the noble cause of
Democracy can be no argument against
him. In the statement that "when a
party thinks that Offices are only spoils
for rewarding the best party workers,
it is time that the people turned that
party down. is very evident that
the Enquirer was thinking of the pres
emit National Republican administra-
ton which has confined its appoint.
menis to party heelers of greater or
less degree according to the job.
