measure for the issue of that amount
of greenbacks. Also for the coinage
OF the Seigniorage TO the amount of
S49,OOC,OOO. 1t is lucky circum-
stance that the senate is agains,

beput through payable ngold. There
is really no need for their issue a,
all. The boarding of S5OO,OOO, OOC
would contract the currency of the
country, while the greenbacks would
expand it by that much, and the
people rather than the money
changers would get the benefit. We
hope the senate will stand firm.

AT the meeting of the Populist
state committee last week the Demo.
Gratis submitted a demand for fair
representation on the state ticket.
They set forth that the fusion
majority in 1896 was but 1000, and
that it is essential that are ward of the
friendly alliance be made. The
opinion is expressed that it is not
possible to mold a Democrat con.
vention which will renominate the
entire state ticket as it now stands.
The matter is to be left to the Popu-
lists to decide, but with a sugges.
ton that the decision must be such
as to give the Democrats something
or the Democrats cannot rally their
entire vote to the support of the
ticket. While the written demands
contain no distinct demand for any
particular Office it is understood
that they want congressman in the
fourth district, lieutenant governor
and either secretary of state or
treasurer and and possibly state
superintendent. The Populist CON-
mittee issued an address in reply to
the demands, in which 1t is stated
that the committee has no power to
act in the matter and that it must
be referred to the state convention.
Careful consideration of the situa.
ton on the part OF voters is earnestly
requested.

Mining captains Of the Vermillon range. in

transportation of ore from the mines to Santl-

the harbor for docks. etc., and overseeing

and any ship can stand in the offing and she'll
it at will, Ships inside, where the Spanish
feet now Is, are not able to mlaneuver but
must swing at anchor and shoot from the
anchorage. The deep water portion of the
bay is too small to permit maneuvering. When
I was there the coast defenses were very
weak and I suppose they are still weaker
since last week. 1t, looks II the Spanish
fleet would never have gone in there If they
had not supplies and arms to deliver. and

CHICAGO, May 21.-Col. Grigsby's
cowboy regiment arrived in Chicago
from Sioux Falls today. Large crowds
greeted the train at outlying stations,
and the locomotive slowed up to allow
the crowds to exchange compliments
with the soldiers, who leaning far out
Of the windows cheered and waved
flags and in other ways demonstrated
their appreciation of the reception.
The train consisted of five passen-
ger coaches and eight stock cars
There were two companies, containing
altogether 1856 men. All were dressed
in regulation cowboy costume, broad
sombreros, ETC., with long pistols strap
ped to their sides. The train pro-
ceeded to the stock yards to unload
the cars and give the tired men and
hardly less wearied bronchos chance
to stretch their limbs.
The troops left this afternoon over
the Pennsylvania for Chickamauga.
They were only the advance guard Of
Col. Grigsby's regiment. Three other
companies Of the regiment, under
Lieut.. Col Charles Lloyd, are now on
the way from Fort Meade. S. D., to
Chickamauga, where they will join Col.
Grigsby. The remaining five troops
will follow in few days; four of them
will come from Montana, and one from
