(Sneclal to Washington Post.) -
Boston, Dec. 3.-"Shall We Vote for
Bryan or Mckinley" was in effect the
subject mainly discussed at the annual
dinner of the Massachusetts Reform
Club last night. The meeting was one
Of the 1iveliest In the history of the
organization. The report of Secretary
Charles Warren reviewed the progress
of the war in the Philippines and lik-
encd the proclamation OF President Nc
Kinley regarding the Filipinos to the
proclamation OF King George III dur
ing the American struggle for indepen-
dencc.
The presiding officer, Colonel Charles
r.. Goldman. said that he was an anti
imDerialst. The crimes of the present
administration have not been passed
upon by the people yet. he. said. The
country could not be blamed until the
people had voted. Rather than vote
for the present Chief Executive" he
said. II don't know who I would not
vote for" (Applause.)
Charles Francis Adams said there
was only one course to pursue. He
knew that if he did not vote for Nc
Kinley he would have to vote for
Bryan. THAT cannot do, gentlernen."
he said. and was applauded, "I sup
pose L Know MIR. Mckinley as WELL as
any of you. He would be very likely
to be a better President in his second
term than Mr.. Bryan in his first. If
we had Mr. Cleveland to turn to, the
result would be different" (Tremen-
dous applause.)
Mr. Godfrey Morse said: At did not
vote for Mr.. Mckinley at the last cleo
ton, but haven't thrown mud at him
since. L would like to see third can
didate nominated, who would stand for
free trade. a little less paternal gov
eminent and gold, and nothing else"
(Applause.)
GamalieI Bradford said: at believe
Mckinley intends to make this country
an empire. believe he brought on the
war with Spain for political purposes"
Richard H. Dana said he should vote
for Mr.NcKinley on the money ques-
ton. He was an anti-expansionist,

In the History of the Countrywide
Terrible Situation in Texas in Con-
sequence of Recent Floods.

In the History of the Countrywide
Terrible Situation in Texas In Com
sequence of Recent Floods.
WASHINGTON, July 12.-Repre-
sentative R. B. Hawley. of Texas, who
is now in Washington, made public the
following statement with reference to
the food situation in that stnte:
1.-THE disaster which has overtaken
the communities In southern Texas is
without parallel in ouT country. At
some points the precipitation was 3Ia
feet in sixty hours, resulting in flood
of enormous proportions, covering an
area of many square miles to a depth
OF from five to twenty feet, and n
loss of from twenty-five to forty mill
mo less than twenty populous
towns have been inundated, us well as
thousands Of we'll established and well
ordered farms which to-day are in u
complete state OF desolation. Prncti-
cally every work animal, milk COW, to-
gether with all stock cattle and every
vestlge OF vegeatIon have been swept
away, leaving the country completely
devastated. Within the influence OF
this awful disaster resided over one
hundred thousand people. almost half
OF whom are in a state Of helplessness
to-day, except as they may be provid-
cd for by those who are generous and
able to assist them.
1.-THE whole state OF Texas Is alive to
the situation, and Is doing Its utmost
to relieve the suffering. It is, how
ever, impossible for the state alone,
within the time necessary, to succor
the people to come to their relief. When
the great Johnstown flood occurred,
Pennsylvania could have easily taken
care OF their own II given time, but as
time was then, us 1t Is now, the essen
tial factor, they were obliged to appeal
to a generous public In every part Of
the Union, and from every quarter the
relief was immediate, on scale COM
mensurate with the disaster.
ITO this public the flood district OF
Texas appeals to-day to supply the
necessarles OF life until the horrors
OF the flood shall have passed. and the
people shall be In position to again
address themselves to the task OF re-
establishing their homes.
For this purpose. 1t Is urged through
the press. the different commercial
bodies and municipal authorities of
every city Of the Union that this ap-
peal be answered,
For the distribution Of this relief n
system Is being organized throughout
the flooded district Immediately, under
the direction OF the governor of Texas
to whom all contributions should be
addressed at Austin, Texas, and under
whose care every dollar will be Judi
ciously and effectively expended"

THE TIN PLATE
CONFERENCE
DECIDES
To Figure on Bars Instead Of Biz
lets as Basis of the Slid.
ing Scale.
THE ADVANCE in WAGES
VIII be About IS Per.cent..Mills
of the Company to Start
on Monday.

CHICAGO, July 12.-Bars instead Of
blllets and a ratio of one-seventh in
stead Of one-hfth was agreed upon to-
night at the conference between mem-
bers of the Amalgamated Iron and
Steel Association, and representatives
of the American Tin Plate Company,
as the basis from which the sliding
wage scale of the tin plate works will
be figured for the coming industrial
year.
The Abandonment of billets as a basis
from which to do the figuring and the
substitution of tin plate bars in their
stead was decided on as the more
equitable from the fact that the bars
do not enter into so many items Of I'm
ished steel products. The change Of
ratio was simply a necessary detail at
tending the change of base.
The change is an important one as
each of the items in the long list of de-
tails going to make up the new scale
had to be gone over carefully by both
sides before any headwny could be
made toward its adoption.
The long conference will in all lIkell-
hood end tomorrow and the mills of
the American Tin Plate Company Will
resume operations next Monday. The
advance which the men will secure
over last years scale Of wages will fig
ure out about 10 per cent IL the predlc-
tlons made tonight hold good at to-
morrow's conference.

IN A BAD WAY.

Germany and England TO Make
Naval Demonstration Against Guat-
emalA-Bonds Repudlatod.
NEW ORLEANS. July lg.-The Plea
yune prints the following:
News OF the gravest import from
Guatemala was brought to this city By
the paaSengers on the Snyder steam
ship BTsaSwater which touched at four
or five Of the leading Central American
ports before putting here late Monday
night. The reports seem to be authen-
tic IN the main.
Just before sailing on the steamer
for New Orleans" said one OF the pas
sengers, 81 was informed by persons In
the best Of positions that probably be-
fore I could get back both England and
Germany would make a naval demon
BtrntiOn at the two leading ports Of the
republic Of Guatemala. Investigated
the information before sailing and eve
erythlng seems to point TO its genuine-
ness, A large amount OF the govern
ment debt in the form Of bonds issued
by the government OF Guatemala ID
held here by English and German in-
terestS. These bonds have been prae-
tIcally repudiated, at least the bonds
have sunk to nothing and the German
and English holders have protested Wig
orously to their governments.
"Tour warBhips are said to have been
ordered to Guatemalan waters, two
German and two English. One Of each
flag will proceed to Puerto Barrios and
one OF each will be sent to San Jose de
Guatemala, which is on the Pacific side
Of the republic.
pThe point that most interests the
United States is that II this seizure Of
the custom houses should result in q
long holding of these ports in order
that the amounts could be collected it
would be necessary for 4 protactorate
to be established over the republic of
Guatemala while this was going on.
In that case the natural course Of af-
fairs would be to turn to either Mexico
or the United States for that pr0tec-
torate. The first proposition would
hardly be probable because Of the bad
feeling existing between Guatemala and
the republic of Mexico over the boun-
dary dispute"

At Demonstration in His Honor.
Maintains That Ho Is as Strong a
sepaFRtist as Ever.
HAVANA, July 12.-At the meeting
held last evening in the Payret theatre
after the street demonstration and pa-
rade in his honor, Juan Gualberto Go
mez, was himself the principal speak
er. In the course of long address
dealing with the reasons for beginning
the war against Spain, he said:
"I am now. as always have BEEN a
separatist, and 1 still demand the sep
aration that / asked before the war.
''Not only such separation from
Spain, but from any and all other ma
tions. People now begin q revolution
when It Is absolutely necessary TO life
and progress. II n superior force de-
ters them before their object is at
tnined, there is merely the question OF
delay.
"The revolution will inevitably re-
turn, Nations, like stars. have their
seasons Of eclipse, but, following their
orbits, they emerge and accomplish
their final destiny. The destiny OF Gu
ba is only Independence. The base
ideas of the revolution were no mystery
and therefore, a synopsis, now which
would really remind US of past suner-
ing and Of incidents only to be recalled
with horror, is unnecessary. Still we
would return to those dreadful days II
1t had to be. Honor is as much ne
cesslty in national life as food IN the
life of the individual and It ought 70 pc
insured, II possible, even though the
attempt may result in catastrophe ana
death.
'such disasters we can avoid by per-
feet unison, by raising our voices TO
declare that this country Is ours ana
that we want 1t for ourselves, by Tor
getting our enemies, by obliterating
personalities, by drawing line
through our terrible past and by deVot-
ing ourselves to the future.
I'VE should give due thanks to the
Americans whose progress and power
inspire our admiration, but this does
not mean that we should resign our
selves to a tutelage to be exercised over
us, Let us make the same statement to
the United States that the American
colonies made to England when they
declared In 1T6 that Americans owned
North America" p"
The local press praises the speech to-
day as the most important occurrence
since January /.
Most OF those present Mt the meeting
were negroes, and many OF the banners
borne in the procession showed the le-
Eend, Independence or death"

sECRETARY ALGER
Denies All Stories About His Intended
Reclamation.


WASHINGTON, D. c.. July 12.-sec-
retary Alger to-day made to a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press his
first personal statement concerning the
reports that he is about to resign from
the cabinet. When asked us to the
truth of the rumors the secretary said
what do you mean eXactly?"
~ mean to ask whether or not tho
stories that you are to retire from the
cabinet In the near future are true"
"There is nothing in these reports but
air." replied the secretary. II shall not
retire this year certainly, and cannot
say us to the future. My private busI-
ness and the state OF my health will
govern my future course.
"These constant assaults and re-
peated baseless reports are, OF course
very annoying to me and extremely
distressing to my family, but have
never yet retired under fire and do not
propose to do so now. Nothing that
have ever heard Of or known of has
been so cruel as these attacks upon me.
II my critics can point TO one thing in
my official career I have done that
ought not to have done, or / have not
done that I should have done, shall
be very glad to surrender my present
official duties"
