Washington, Aug. Senator Fora
ker of Ohio does not see any more oc.
casion for keeping troops in Cuba than
In Ohio or Illinois The senator says
he has received Information from many
sources in Cuba that the people are
law-abiding and quiet. An army officer
writes to him that, judging from news
papers received In Cuba, there has been
more need for federal troops in I'LL
nols at Pana and Virden, or at Cleve-
land, Ohio, than In Cuba.
Senator Foraker thinks that the ad-
mlnistration ought to allow the Gu
bans to form a government OF their
own, and then decide whether they
care to stand alone or be annexed to
the United States. That, he believes, Is
the only way to settle the Cuban ques-
ton, and he hopes the administration
is preparing to do that very soon, and
bring the United States troops home.

The &. n Would Abdicate.

London, Aug. IN. de Blowitz, the
Paris correspondent of the Times.
gives an extraordinary explanation of
M. Delcasse's present mission. He as
serts that Emperor Nicholas is disap-
pointed and tired of the throne. The
absence of an heir eXcites his super
stitious feelings, and he connects him
self with a Russian legend, according
to which an heirless car Is to be sue
ceeded by a Gar Michael, predestined
to occupy Constantinople. The death
Of the czarowitz and the failure OF the
conference at The Hague led him to
decide to abdicate on the occasion of
his coming visit to Darmstadt. On
this becoming known in Paris, M. Del
casse was sent in hot haste to dissuade
him from carrying out this intention. -"

balance in the state treasury.
4th. We commend the action of the
Iowa delegation in congress in its support
of protection, of the Dingley tariff, of the
maintenance of the gold standard, and In
its faithful support of the administration
of President Mckinley i'm his policy in
peace and war.
5th. We rejoice in the prospective cleo
ton OF David II. Henderson to be speaker
of the House of Representatives, and en-
dorse him as wholly worthy of that honor.
9th. We readopt the following declara-
ton from the Iowa republican platform OF
The monetary standard of this country
and the commercial world is gold. The
permanence of this standard must be as
sured by congressional legislation, giving
to it the validity and vitality of public
law: All other money must be kept at a
parity with gold"
And we urgently call upon our senator's
and representatives in congress to lend
their best endeavors to enact these propo-
sitions into law.
18th. We denounce the Chicago platform
and its declaration in favor of free trade
and free silver coinage at the ratio of six
teen to one, and its attack upon the
courts, as threatening the American peo-
pie. with departure from the policies of
god government that would prove fraught
with evil to the American people. The
enormties of that platform call for the re-
sistance of all good citizens.
Sth. AS republicans, we make recogn!-
ton of the loyalty and exalted patriotism
of the sound money democrats and men
of al parties who put aside partisanship
in order to maintain the good faith of the
nation, and in resistance to the Chicago
platform and its candidate.

tion Against unltod States.
Washington, Aug. There Is no
anxiety among the officials at the state
department over the report that the
South American republics may form
an alliance against the United States.
These rumors are said to be OF Eng
fish, Italian and Spanish origin and
are inspired by the traders OF those
countries for the purpose OF influence
ing trade. The wish is father to the
thought, but the state department has
the best assurances of South Amer
lean friendship and has no fear of an
alliance against this country
An official of the state department
whose business 1t is to keep posted on
South American affairs and conditions
said concerning this reported alliance:
You can rely upon 1t there Is moth
ing serious in It, 1t is the old rumor
revived. We had 1t when President
Cleveland sent his Venezuela message
to congress, we had 1t again when the
protocol was signed for suspension of
hostilities with Spain, and now we

position that we intend to get hold

mans also, in South America who are

poses. | have read all the South
American papers closely, and l cannon

Americans have really any existence
among them"

Chicago, Aug. Labor unions re.
gard the action of Judge Windes in
modifying an injunction against strik-
ers as great victory. 1t is the first
time, they say, they have made any
Roadway in a court when the use OF the
injunction was invoked against men on
a strike. This injunction was granted
few days ago by Judge Hanecy of
the Circuit court against the striking
iron molders of Fraser & Chalmers.
The order forbade the strikers from
persuading the nonunion men to quit
Judge Windes modified this order to
the extent of annulling that part of it
that prohibited the use of persuasion.

Washington, Aug. 7.-Relative to the
report made by crown officer that
surveys are being made along the
Alaskan boundary in connection with
the pending negotiations on that sub,
ject, it is learned here that these sur,
veys are simply the working out OF
physical data growing out of the pri.

the same surveys on their side of the

moral advice or by profound thought
or by absolute non-action, unquestion-
ably violate the law.
