washington birthday commemorative
exercises of the University of Pennsyl-

Over z, 1000 students assembled on the
university campus at 9:3O a. m. and
marched, four abreast, to the Academy
OF music. The route was arranged so
Chat the procession should pass Mr..

Il cheering welcome to the president.

A0f the long column reached the

The Cause OF Free Silver.
GAGE VERSUS GAGE.

McKinIey's Secretary of the Treas
ury Says He FavOrs BimetalIism.
The secretary of the treasury is a
many-sided man, and those congress
men who are talking glibly of forcing
him out of the cabinet will find him as
hard to push as an eel.
In his address before the Phi1adel-
phia Trades League" Secretary Gage
declared himself champion of "bi-
metallism.' He said:
"The republican party are not boasting
that they have buried bimetallism. They
proclaim themselves it's friend; they APP
prove it in their platform. The political
head of that party. has been active to Sc
cure it under the only conditions by which
it can be maintained, namely, international
agreement, with open mints to both silver
and gold. In his efforts to inaugurate such
a method the president heartily supports
the principles of his party's platform; and
members of his official family, innuendoes
and declarations from various sources to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
So Secretary Gage, being one of the
presidents official family" heartily
approves of the effort to secure interna-
tional himetallism. Yet he has curious
way of manifesting his approval and
support.
When the Fifty-fifth congress met in
regular session-the Wolcott commis-
sion being still abroad Secretary Gage
submitted plan of currency reorgani-
zation which was purely and simply a
plan to put all currency on the single
gold basis, to retire the greenbacks and
to give to the national banks the privi-
lege of issuing all nonmetallic money.
Silver, in Mr.. Cages plan, was to have
been mere token money-redeemabl
in gold. To all intents and purposes
the tin plate which Mr.. Gage says is now
being made so largely in this country
might have been employed instead of
silver for the discredited dollar.
So absolutely without consideration
for bimetallism was the secretary's
plan that the whole country thought
him at odds with the president, and re-
publican politicians, anxious to keep
up the delusion that their party really
favored bimetallism, talked noisily of
driving him out of the cabinet. It is
not a week since Senator Wolcott, head
of the bimetallic commission, scored the
secretary in public as a traitor to the
pledges of the party.
The nation needs light on this matter.
Is it the convivial Gage talking BIZ
metallism at the banquet board or the
banker Gage pleading for gold before
a house committee from whom financial
wisdom shall be learned ?-N. Y. Jour.

SUCCESSFULLY FLOATED.
The Cruiser Minneapolis Leaves the Door
Handy Relics.


PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 25.-The United
States cruiser Minneapolis was sue.
cessfully foated out of the dry. dock at
at the League Island navy yard at high
tide yesterday afternoon. The floating
of the cruiser was witnessed by
nearly 1000 people.
The Minneapolis has been in dry
dock since last December, partly tc
avoid the ice in the river and also tc
have necessary repairs made to her
bottom. The school ship Saratoga will
be placed in dry dock for repairs.
Notwithstanding all reports to the
contrary, there is no unusual activity
at the yard beyond the extensive i'm
provements that are being made to the
bank channel, which is to be used as a
fresh water basin for vessels of the
navy. The receiving ship Richmond is
besieged daily by applicants for en-
listment, but very few are now being
taken.
Besides the Minneapolis, there are at
League Island the cruiser Columbia,
the Monitor Miantonomah and the ram
Katahdin, all out of commission at
present. There are also eight old mon
itOrs at the navy yard, all of them
relics of the civil war, but which could
be fitted up quickly in case they were
needed.

Assistant Secretary Roosevelt says in
this connection that Illinois leads the
list, with 43 commissioned officers and
523 petty officers and enlisted men.
The adjutant general of that state re-
Gently made n request that the United
States steamer Michigan be assigned
for the use of the Illinois brigade for
one month during the coming summer.
During Mr.. Roosevelt's tour of the
lakes last summer, he was much
pleased with the showing made by the
Illinois and otAer naval brigades on
the lakes, and he has recommended
that the request for the Michigan be
granted.
Aside from the forces shown in the
above list, new brigades are in process
of formation, which promise to swell
the total to much larger figures at an
early day. The organization of this
auxiliary arm of the naval service is
under the immediate direction of Lieut..
Gibbons, U. S. N, whose energy has
accomplished much in securing state
organization and in the harmonizing
of the bodies into one compact force,
capable, in emergency, of cooperating
with the regular navy.
In his last report Mr.. Roosevelt said
that the state naval militia, in the
event of a sudden emergency, could be
utilized at once for manning the
smaller national cruisers. 1t could be
depended upon mainly, he said, as a
second line of defense, and also be used
in placing mines and the establishment
of signal stations for coast defense.
ho 0f
gress to aid the work of the naval mill
tia will be apportioned among the
states in a few days.
Thanks to the promptness and eff
cheney of the chief of engineers and the
chief of ordnance of the army, the city
of Washington is now regarded as be-
ing well-nigh safe and secure from at
tack by water. The fortifca tions at
Fort Washington and Sheridan Point
on the opposite side of the Potomac,
are sufficiently advanced to be able to
repel an ordinery fleet of invaders,
and in case of necessity they could be
vastly strengthened in a comparatively
short time. These defenses are con-
sidered sufficient to keep all hostile
vessels beyond the range of gunshot of
the national capital.
Moreover, the river has been blocked
off and prepared for mines and torpe-
does to a point below the Notifications
already mentioned, so that it is proba-
BILE some of the ships of an enemy
would be blown out the water before
it would be necessary to use the guns
at the forts.
The officers of the British battleship
Hood yesterday cabled from the island
of Crete expressing deep sympathy over
the disaster to the Maine.

A cUBAN's VIEW OF 1T.
Senior A. G. De Arrange Discusses the
Maine Disaster.

Maine Disaster.
CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 23.-Senor A. G.
De Arrange, a prominent Cuban and
member of the junta, in speaking of the
Maine explosion, said:
1T is needless for me to say that the
Cubans deplore that disaster, the hor-
ror of which has sent thrill to girdle
the globe, while it's circum-
stances have called forth the con-
dolence of the civilized world.
But, it may interest the public to know
that we also regret the occurrence for
a reason quite separate from sympathy.
The event will doubtless result in
bringing Spain and the United States
into more amicabIe relations. Already
the conciliatory courtesy of the Ha-
vana authorities and the Madrid
administration has neutralized the
unfriendly feeling which SO long pre-
vailed in this country. The Spanish
ministry saw its opportunity to strike
the soft spot in the American heart,
and was not tardy in embracing it.
While this fact may not serious ly mill
tate aginst the Cuban cause, we could
wish for different condition"
Touching upon the possibility of the
Cubans having blown the Maine up,
Senior De Arrange said:
You may be very sure that it
was not the work of Cubans. All
logical theory must support this
statement. Why should Cuba de-
stroy her friends when she could
demolish her enemies with equal ease?
No, the Cubans would not want tC
decimate the United States navy; they
would be willing to double it if they
could. In its strength lies Cuba safety
and success. But, for the protecting
power the struggle could not be pro-
longed a single day"
