BELMONT COMES BACK.
War in the Democratic Camp
Begins in Earnest.

New York, March 21.-Perry Belmont
last night gave out the following reply
to one received during the day from
Col. William J. Bryan:
Dear Sir: I have just received your
letter of the 10Th instant, in which you
describe those who declared in 1896 that
your election to the presidency on the
Chicago platform would endanger the
nations welfare as the Republican al
lies who masquerade as Democrats be-
tween campaigns in order to give more
potency to their betrayal of Democratic
principles on election day
Mr.. Belmont then goes on to say that
before answering the unwarranted let
ter he had instituted a suit against a
New York paper on account of an al
legged libel in which he was character
lied as "a higher priced man than the
foater who sells his vote for two dollars
on election day." and continues:
Your purpose to be equally defama-
tory is obvious. Your skill in the use of
words forbids the plea that in your
letter you miSuSed them through ignor-
ance. The design is plain, and were it
abuse reference to opinions upon pub
lie questions as opposed to your own, to
the Democratic club of which am
president, and to it's proposed celebra-
ton of Jefferson's birthday, I would
have left your offensive statements I'M
answered.
THE Democratic club OF New York
has a membership of nearly three
thousand Democrats who all hold to the
main principles of Democracy, while
their opinions may vary in regard to
such political questions as are not fun
damental, but merely local or transit

have yourself espoused. But none of
these three thousand members is a Re

ARMS.
To Build or to Man Vessels o.
War.
Says Such an Agreement Is In
Process of Formation.

Boston, March 21.-Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation of
Labor, was the principal speaker at the
peace meeting held in fremont Temple
under the auspices of the Good Citi-
zens' Peace society. Mr.. Gompers re-
ferred to the position of organized labor
on the question of expansion, and said:
IF it was right for the founders of this
government to fight for free govern
ment, it is not today right to fight
against tive are today fighting against
the only Asiatic country that has ever
made an attempt to establish repub-
llcan form of government and we are
today seriously considering taking part
in plan to divide up China, because it
will help our trade.
The organizations of labor recognize
that a large standing army is a men
ace to liberty and a formenter of trou-
BILE between man and man. If peace
cannot be secured in any other way the
time is coming when federated labor
Will refuse to make implements that are
intended to strike down their fellow
men; when ship builders will refuse to
construct vessels of war; when sailors
will refuse to navigate ships of war and
when all workers will refuse to cOntrl-
butte their labors in any way for the
slaughter of their brethren, wherever
they may be. There is a treaty being
formulated by the workers of Great
Britain and America which will make
peace necessary without the interven-
ton of governments. There never has
been conference of workers that has
not declared for tranquility and peace"

DR.. THORPE'S RETURN.
Some Members Think the Pres
emit Arrangement Is But
Temporary.

The appointments of ministers to pull
pits in the Northeast Kansas conference
of the Methodist church were announced
peka churches the following appointments
were made:
First church, Erwin L. Thorpe: Euclid
Avenue Dickinson r. Moore; Kansas Ave
nue. church, Alaric S. Embree; .cwnls,n
chapel, Joseph A Swaney; Oakland, A. j.
Coe; Parkdale, David d. Cheney; Walnut
Grove. Joseph f. Coe; presiding elder of
the Topeka district, John R. Madison
The announcement has been made that
pulpits in the Methodist churches will be
returned for another year.
Except as regards DR.. Thorpe of the
First church this eXcites little comment.
but members of the First church a
rule say the appointment is probably made
for short time, with the intention of
making change eventually.
1t is not thought that any element of the
First church will withdraw and start 6
new church, but that they will simply
stay away.
Those who protested against the return
of DR.. Thorpe feel certain that he wiz not
be returned for another year. They think
that the bishop would not act against the
wishes of so many members of the church
and that DR.. Thorpe will be called TO
Connecticut when the conference meets
there in a short time.
Others advance the idea chat The bishop
has taken things into his own hands and
will pay little attention 20 protests or pc
titions and has sent everybody back and
will force the congregation lece to accept
DIR. Thorpe for the reason that they sent
for him to come here and now they mus
keep him.

Elements in all cases now in contro-
versy and default
The work which Mr.. GODDARD will do
in conjunction with the state school
fund commission will be arduous in the
extreme, due to the fact that admins
tration after administration for years
has been so occupied with other mat
tiers that the school fund investments
have not been carefully guarded.
The house passed, but the senate
killed. the bill providing for the ap-
pOintment of a commission to do this
work, but it will not be neglected. Mr..
GODDARD will have some time to devote
to this work because his department
will not be enbarras sed by having the
after, because the police commissioner
system has been abolished.
The state administration, it might be
observed here, is very glad that this
vexing problem does not confront Gov
ernor Stanley and his associates.
1.-THE police commissioner system has
sent several men to their political
graves" remarked Governor Stanley, a
statement which is evidence that Mr..
Stanley, too, is glad the Populists re-
pealed the law.

TRIUMPH OF LAW
And Order Is the End of the Havana
Riots.

New York, March pa dispatch to
the Tribune from Havana says:
The exhibitions of lawleSSneSS, which
for the last two days have shocked the
city's growing sense of order and Sc
curity, proved a fiery trial to the new
ly organized Havana police. The mettle
of the force was put to a test to which
public opinion scarcely thought it equal
and as a result Gen. MenocaPs blue
coats stand higher today in popular es-
timation than would have been fanc1ed
possible after the fiascos committed in
attempting to suppress the anti-aSsem-
bly, demonstrations a week ago. 1t was
charged then against the policemen
that they dubbed women and children,
but begged men to move on with the
most scrupulous politeness. On Satur-
day night and yesterday, however, the
bluecOats showed that they could face
fire, and their losses in the San Jose
riot from ambuScade attack showed
decided courage under trying circum-
stances. In this street fight seven Of
ficers, including the lieutenant in
charge, were severely wounded. One
died yesterday and several others are
scarcely expected to recover Four Of
ficers were slightly wounded outside the
San Jose dance hall Another patrol
man was killed yesterday afternoon
while on duty in a different section of
the slums. OF the civilian participants
in the disturbances of Saturday and
Sunday, two are dead and about fif-
teen are badly wounded. Wholesale ar
rests have been made and the criminal
approach of political freedom is not to
be taken as a signal for a general con-
tempt of public order
Undoubtedly the conditions which
have delayed the disarmament of
the Cuban army have contributed to
encourage the recent outbreaks. With
a body of men in the vicinity of the
capital licensed to carry arms and yet
in a measure unrestrained by discipline,
the tasks of the police in dealing with
the refractory classes of society have
ben doubled, and it has been found ex-
tremely difficult to repress the habit
of carrying weapons concealed or un-
concealed.
1t is believed that the attack on the
police was inspired by certain notorious
criminals, known as NanigOs, who have
recently been repatriated from Spanish
prisons; but, whatever the cause, the
assault is accepted here as showing
the need of a prompt curtailment of the
privilege of carrying arms and the en-
forcement, by some example of sever
ity, of a wholesome respect for the po-
lice
The abandonment of the upper prado
by the Tenth infantry is visible sign
of the relaxing grip on the city of the
American military occupation. This
stretch of pathway had been appropri
ated for a. camp site and the tents of
the soldiers had shut off completely the
pleaSantest view up this part of Hav
ana's only show street. The Tenth in
fantry has now gone to Matanzas and
the pradO and it's environments are no
longer alive with the diSfiguring actiVi-
ties of a military camp.

THEIR WAGES RAISED.
The Carpenters Secured an Advance
to 80 Cents an Hour

A strike among the carpenters in To-
peka has been averted by the agreement
reached last night between the Master
Builders association and the Carpenters
and JOinerS' union.
The workmen demanded an advance
in wages. They have been receiving
1925 and $3.50 a day. They wanted
more. The builders were willing to
make some advancement but the car
penters wanted a larger raise and all
workmen to receive the same wages.
The builders wanted different grades of
workmen to receive different pay. 1t
was finally settled that the employers
should pay 271z and 80 cents an hour
and no further trouble is expected.
