due to arrive at Manila. the word sent
to the American public direct from ahe
white house was that the president was
counting on the close of the war with
in forty eight hours. President Schur-
man, we insist, did the best he
could. To be sure, that isn't saying
much, because he really didn't do any
thing except to be in General Otis
way; but he did as much as any other
wrongly commissioned man could have
done.
The sequel is that President Schur-
man is very unkindly mentioned IN
many of the newspapers. Several sure
enough republican publications jest at
his expense. In instances he is laugh
ed at: the Washington Post, printed
within six minutes walk of the white
mouse, belittles the Cornell president
in words like these: 1--WE see that

COLLISION AT SEA.
The Hamilton Runs Into the Macedonia
and Sinks Her.


and Sinks Her.
New York, June 13.-The' Old Domin-
ion steamship Hamilton, which sailed
from New York to-day for Norfolk and
Newport News, ran into the German
steamer Macedonia and it is supposed
that the Macedonia has been sunk. The
Hamilton had on board large number
of passengers. At 5:55 this evening,
while proceeding at reduced speed and
sounding her whistle, the Hamilton
suddenly ran into a steamer which
proved to be the German steamship
Macedonia, striking her on the star
board side about aft the engine and
cutting into her hull IL feet. The shock
was terrific and indescribable confu-
sion prevailed for a time.
Order was finally restored on the
Hamilton and the crew were sent to
their quarters. The Macedonias crew
got out their boats as the disabled yes
sci drifted away from the Hamilton.
Those taken on board the Old Domin-
ion liner were three passengers, Cap

Their Indecent Play.

nth mawkish display of hy-
y" pocrisy that lacks little of out
right indecency, some of the
thick and-thin gold-standard organs
have used what had been deemed to
be Mr. BANDS dying hours as an OPP
portunity in which to awaken political
prejudice. These newspapers affect
great regret over the fact that Mr..
Bland was not nominated for the pres
idency in 1896; they parade the dis
honest charge that he was "betrayed;'
they profess great sorrow for him; they
pretend that the disoyal treatment to
which he was exposed embittered his
life and served to shorten his days.
This is the talk of newspapers that
abused Bland viciously during the long
period when he was prominent as sill
ver's champion; newspapers that de-
nounced him as lunatic, pronounced
him the advocate of fraud, and sought
to brand him as the apologisft for pub
lie and official dishonesty. They did
not spare Mr.. Bland they paid no
heed to his feelings; they stopped at
no dishonorable epithet Believing that
he will not live, to give them the lie,
these organs of the gold trust take even
more shameless liberties with his name
than they dared to take when they knew
he could confront them. They pretend
to be deeply panied now because, as
they allege, he was sorely wounded in
the house of his free-coinage friends;
they do not express regret because of
the insults which, year after year, they
themselves unsparingly heaped upon
him.
There was discussion of Mr.. BANDS
name in connection with the demo-
cratic nomination for the presidency in
1896. The fact is that, even when his
chances looked brightest, the feeling
was widespread that. however worthy
his record, nevertheless somehow he
was not just the man for the hour. AS
If by a providence, the rightA.man was
suddenly revealed at Chicago, and no
power given under heaven among men
could have checked the tide that swept
toward Bryan when, in the memorable
Chicago convention, the hour for action
came. If Mr.. Bland had grievances, he
certainly did not wear them on his
sleeve. And it i'll becomes the news
papers that spent years in brutal at
lacks upon him to parade now a SYM
pathy that is not sincere touching the
alleged treatment he received at the
hands of his own friends. 1t is a
shameless effort to make political CAPT
tai out of the career of grand mar
whom the perpetrators of the outrage
supposed to be dying when they put hi:
name to foul misuse.

CONCERN IN WASHINGTON.
The Heavy Fighting Greatly Surprised

the ADMINISTRATION.
Washington, June 13.-The news of
the heavy fighting almost in sight of
Manila and adjacent to the navy yards
at Cavite, where Admiral Dewey
landed his forces more than year ago
was received with interest here. 1t is
evident to the officials that the insur-
gents are either stronger than has been
realized, or that they have come to the
end of their resources and are making
this last struggle in sheer desperation
Otherwise it is hard to understand why
they should come down to the shore OF
the bay and fight, the warships.
Adjutant General Corbin steadfastly
maintained his confidence in the sue
cess of the present movement in Luzon
and said to-day that he felt encour-
aged at the advices that come from
Otis, particularly in view of General
Otis statement that Lawton had driv-
en- the enemy with heavy loss and that
the latter could not be reassembled in
force. STILL there is great concern ex-
hibited over the conditions that con-
front the American troops in this cam
paign, and there was a renewal of the
inquiry as to whether or not there are
to be further reinforcements of the
troops or another call for volunteers.
The statement was made in reply to
this that it has, or soon will have, all
the men needed, and the opinion of
General Otis in these matters can be
depended upon to determine the policy

Suppose He Hadn't?

~ ONE of the New York newspapers

candidate for the office of speaker"
One up-the-state New York newspaper
remarks vaguely that this course on
Mr.. Sherman's part would seem to
have been enough to bring about his
defeat. Another republican newspaper
sagely observes that, as soon as it was
known that Sherman had applied TO
Platt for permission to run, Hender-
sons boom put on big proportions. and
thus New York lost the speakership.
In many instances one finds sort
of served-him-righ opinion expressed
in the press of provincial New York, in
view of Sherman's appeal to Plat. How
ridiculous this talk appears when one
considers what would have happened
if Sherman had not requested a permit
to run from Boss Platt. In that event

in the canvass? Suppose he had slight.

It's Pure Gall.

YOU can get any kind of opinion
" you want in regard to the
J speakership fight and the swift
success of Henderson. For instance,
the Philadelphia Inquirer, expansion
list organ, remarks that Pennsylvania
made herself felt in the speakershlp
question and has been a very large
factor" The Inquirer concludes that
PENNSYLVANIA will therefore "be pow
erful in the committee, that Hender-
son will be friendly and that League
Island will now be made the great
naval center"
Just around the corner from the In
uuirer, in Philadelphia, the Press has
it's home-that newspapers managing
editor is Postmaster General Smith
The Press laments the power of Quay
which made Pennsylvania of no &C.
count in the speakership contest anc
promptly put one at least of the Key
stone states possible candidates alto
gether out of the race.
The pretense that Pennsylvania hae
any weight whatever in settling th'
speakership question or in promoting
Henderson's chances, is as ludicrous a
any political humor of recent date. l

THE LATEST FRENCH CRISIS.
Nobody Wants the Job of Organizing a
New Cabinet.

Paris, June 13.-President Loubet
conferred with the president of the
senate, M. Fallieros, and with the pres
ident of the chamber of deputies, NJ.
DeSchanel, this morning and impressed
them with the necessity of quickly end
ing the cabinet crisis. M. Poincare

this afternoon and conferred with him

garding the probable successor of M.
Dupuy as premier. M. Poincare was
the fayorite this morning, but after
three-quarters of an hour spent in con-
ference with the president, he declined
to accept the task. He is a moderate
republican, and evidently doubted that
he would be able to succeed in forming
a cabinet, which the papers this after
noon think, after yesterdays vote,
must be a radical cabinet.

choly view of the parliamentarian sit
uation and suggests that the president
should dissolve the chamber, saying
that if the present deputies cannot OF

appears to be no doubt that Wolcott is

More Western Talk.

>OT with good grace, although
Y apparent choice of Henderson
for the speakership is finding accept
ance with the prominent republican
bosses in the East. These politicians
yield to the situation, for the manifest
reason that they have to; there's no
alternative.
And there is more of it yet to come.
As soon as Henderson's majority APP
peared to be an ascertained fact, the
extreme East took up the proposition
that this selection makes sure the
choice of an eastern man for the sec
ond place, next year, on the Mckinley
ticket. Curiously enough, the politics
that centers in New York describes
Ohio as a part of the West and refers
to Mr.. Mckinley as western man.
These Atlantic seaboard people now
figure it out that Mckinley is from the
West, that the speaker will be west
ern man and that, therefore, the can
didate for the Office of vice president,
on the Mckinley ticket, will be an east
ern republican.
That isn't the way they figure it in
| Chicago; quite to the contrary, the So
| called western congressman have paid
a great deal of attention to this ques-
ton of the vice presidency of late They
| say that the selection of Henderson is
bound to find great favor, on the theory
that he is western man; that what
| republicanism needs is more of the
same sort of thing, and that the right
thing to do is to take a Missis-
| sippi man for second place on the Nc
Kinley ticket. That is the programme,
and the republican boosters of the So
called West are proposing to put it
| through.
1t transpires that many western con-
| gressmen We're lately in consultation
| with Henderson at Chicago-they gave
out distinct word that Mr.. Hanna and
Hobart is promptly put aside as an
available man for next years second
place. Their talk is that Hobart comes
from New Jersey; that New Jersey is
the state where all the trusts get their
charters and that New Jersey man
won't do. To such lengths are these
people driven. That Mr. Hobart wants
the nomination is certain. His friends
are demanding that the whole ticket be
named for a second term. All the
stories that have been in circulation
during recent months about Hobart S
wish to retire are fustian-Mr. Hobart
and his friends never started them,

SHELTERS CLOSE DOWN.
Constitutionality of the Eight-Hour La
to Re Tested.

Denver, June 13.-By the closing of the
Grant and Globe smelters in this city
about l. 100 men will be thrown out of en-
ployment. Neither the management nor
the men anticipate the closing will be for
long. The union has assurances from Mr..
Grant that he will not operate his plant
with imported men. 1t is estimated that
the shutdown of the trust smelters If
long continued, will necessitate the clos
ing of rs per cent. of the mines in Colo
RADIO and will have a disastrous effect on
all industries in the state.
The smelter managers propose to bring
a test case before the supreme court as
soon as possible to determine the consti-
tutionality of the eight-hour law. The
state board of arbitration has offered its
services as mediator between the employ
ers and employees. and 1t is hoped that a
new wage scale will be agreed upon with
in few weeks.
