NEW YORK, July 17.-Georgs H.

night to a Times reporter:
II do not think that free silver coin.
age will be made the principal issue in
the platform the Democrats will adopt
next year. II Mr.. Bryan obtains control
Of the convention he will, OF course,
see that silver has prominent place in
tho platform; but no man or faction
can, I believe, force that Issue back
Into the prominence II had In 1896 The
party fears 1t would have no chance
Of winning on that old issue. Besides
there Is clamor for new issues and
fight along new lines.
II do not believe that anti.imperial-
ism viii be made the chief or even a
conspicuous plank. The best men In
the Democratic party either approve
the policy OF the administration or feel
that the present course has been in-
evltable and must be fought through to
success, II viii not do for Bryan TO
put himself against the brains and pa
triotism of the country Many Of his
friends have felt that he Is only losing
ground by his present policy of attack
ing the administrations policy, and
have advised him to fight on ground
where he can easily score Victory.
We have urged him to attack McHIn-
ley for the palpable errors in the coh-
duct OF the war. He could score a hit
by showing that 1t was due to the adj
mlnistration's dllitorinesS that so much
lighting ana slaughter has been neces-
sary, and by showing that our soldiers
were actually starved in the field. Anti
expansion won't do. We succeeded last
year in electing one Democrat in Cal.

annexation OF Hawaii.
again, the trusts are not going to
be played very heavily as a political
card, The Democrats recognize that
the trusts have come to stay. They are
also confused by the action Of such cap
itaiists as Havemeyer and Huntington.
and there is a feeling that the trusts
have at last got pretty good stake in
the Democratic party"
Mr.. Kenney said that there Is u very
decided revolt in the south and east
against Bryan.
German Is stronger than he is usual
" considered.H he said. There is a
strong disposition on the part of east
ern and southern Democrats to try an
eastern man next year. and German
may prove to be very powerful factor
in the result. The southerners are re-
peatlng that the western combination
failed in 1896, and in 1898. and that the
chief consideration at this time is sue

south, and one who Will not in himself
TIvive the old issues upon which we

VARIED VIEWS UF EXPERTS.
Some AIienists Say Young Chase Is Insane,
Others Declare Him Snne.

Detroit. June 24.-The doctors disagree
in their testimony in the hearing upon
application for extradition from New
York of Mr. and Mrs. Charles H Dhume,
of Cincinnati, who are charged with the
abduction from this city of their nephew,
Moses Fowler Chase. of Lafayette. Ind,
heir to property worth upwards of S50,-
eco. The point at issue for the governor
of Michigan to decide is whether young
Chase was or was not mentally incom-
petent on June ;, the night on which he
left Detroit for Cincinnati with Duhme.
DR.. H. r. Niles, of the Oak Grove
sanitarium at Flint, and G.. ]. Haass. at
tendant at that institution, both testi-
fled that when the young man left the
sanitarium June he was insane and in
competent. On the other hand Dr. G. H.
Mitchell, of Cincinnati, who last Sep
tember recommended Moses for commit
ment to an asylum. testified yesterday
that upon June 10, after his arrival in
Cincinnati, he was perfectly sane and
competent. The latter witness was rein
forced by the opinion of DR.. Largdon, a
Cincinnati expert, who DIR. Mitchell
quoted as asserting that no court could
declare the young man insane. The
hearing was not completed yesterday.

UNUSUAL STRENGTH IN PRICES
Is the Feature in Business Considering
the Influences of Midsummer.


E.S, York, June 24-Bradstreet's says:
Less than the average effect of ap-
preaching midsummer influences is dis
cernible in current trade reports. Prices
show a strength unusual at this period.
This is notably manifest III the iron
and steel industry, where the tendency
of values is still upward. An unpre-
cedented weekly output of coke is coin
cident with statements that the usual
summer shut-d down in iron and its allied
industries will be ignored. Predictions
of $50 for Bessemer are well within sigh
of realization. Hopes Of Improvement in
the wooden goods industry have mater
ialized and sales are larger, though
mostly on speculative account.
Improved crop reports are RESPONSE
BILE chiefly for lower quotation of prod
ucts. In Industrial lines, generally,
there is little more than the usual fric-
tion as to wages. Railroad reports point
to an exceptionally large traffic doing.
and earnings continue favorable, par

Russia Plays Her Most Important Card at

London. June 2i.-Russia played her

she was there for" in introducing pro-
posals that would mean If adopted that
Europe shall cease adding to her arm

agree that for five years none of the
powers will add gun or a cartridge to

The correspondent of The Times at
The Hague says: There is not the
fairtest chance of the Russian proposals
being adopted; hut it is likely some
motion will be carried to the effect that,
in the interests Of peace and human
ity, the conference hopes that unless
an emergency should occur war bud
gets will not be increased"
The correspondent of The Daily News
at The Hague says: Several delegates
remark that Russia's proposals regard
ing armament contain a trap, since she
could increase her troops to any ex-
tent in Siberia, which is a colony"
The information from Germany is that
Emperor William will not separate him
self from the other powers in the arbi-
tration question. and the German dele
gates anticipate a favorable decision on
that point. The work is now so far ad-
vanced that the conference will prob
ably take a holiday after June 2s, in or

HAD BEEN EATING HARDWARE.
Nails and Such Articles Taken Out of a
Mans Stomach.

Mans Stomach.
Madison, Wis, June PA surgical
operation with somewhat remarkable
results was performed recently at the
Mendoza hospital for the insane. Joshua
Davis, a state-at-large patient, with
suicidal tendencies, who was committed
to the hospital a short time since, was
found to be suffering from a peculiar
complication of troubles, and some days
ago he informed the doctors in charge
that he had at different intervals swal-
lowed nails, wire, etc, and begged Of
them to remove the same and relieve
his intense suffering. Drs. Lyman,
Clarke and Cheney, after further dag
nosis, decided that Davis was in pre-
carious condition and that an operation
might alleviate the agony he suffered.
AS they proceeded with the operation
they found imbedded in the stomach and
intestines, both of which were in per-
forated condition, one-half pound of
nails. of all sizes, two pOcketknife
blades, and several pieces of twisted
wire. Some of the nails were in an ad-
vanced state of corrosion, giving evil
dence of having been in the stomach for
some length of time. Owing to these
circumstances it was impossible to pro-
long the life of the unfortunate man,
who expired about twenty-four hours
later.

Not for a long period has a French
ministry been greeted with such signs of
unanimous hostility. Judging from the
tone of the papers of all shades the cab
met can scarcely live a single day. and
the prediction is more freely made than
ever that defeat on Monday is newt
able. No doubt the cause of hostility is
the presence of General Gallifet. and
when the paroxysm of anger exhausts

The incongruity and lack of cohesion
that characterize the new cabinet really
explain its existence. These men have
sunk their personal ambitions and antag-

from a threatened revolution. 1t is a
