THEY CANNOT EvADE II.

While the silver question is being de-
bated all over the country and the demo-
cratic press in other states are taking
sides or the proposition to make it the
paramount issue in 1900 or retire it to
the background, the leading bourbon
organs in Montana dare not touch the
question with a ten-foot pole. The ex-
pressions Of prominent democrats, pro
and con. escape their notice, and the
cause of free coinage does not get a
kind word in their columns. Their
treachery to a cause which they as
sumed to owe only a short time ago is
exciting widespread attention. Inc it
will be utterly impossible for those
newspapers to yer again convince the
public that they are loyal to the cause
of free coinage at a ratio of 16 to 1, by
the independent action of this republic.
The Tribune-Review of this city sizes
the situation up in a very able manner as
follows:
A few months since the Anaconda
Standard recognized silver as the para
mount issue. and a not a change Of
heart taken place, would at this time no
doubt have been devOting considerable
space in comment of the COMMISSIONS
report, but Montana's leading demo-
cratic organ has not only evaded this
question which must materially affect
their former pet hobby, but has repudi-
ated the white metal in refusing to dis
cuss it. The Miner, unconsciously, since
w. A. Clark's interview in southern CAL
i%fornia, has made great strides toward a
reconciliation with the Standard, not in
a personal way, but rather in a political
manner. The Standard on the 9th Of
January last placed itself on record as
refuting the democratic platform of
1896 by stating that the ratio of value be-
tween gold and silver should be regu-
lated by the worlds exchanges, which
was equivalent to saying, we RECALL all
former u~tterances concerning the silver
question, and are on the lookout for
something more attractive in the way of
issues. w. A. Clark, who, as every one
knows. controls the Miner. in his recent
interview said he is mot sure that silver
will be the leading democratic issue next
year." which at this remote period from
the election is equivalent to saying that
in his opinion the 16 to / question is as
dead as Billy Bryan's nance OF election
are remote. So as regards silver, the
Standard and Miner are on the most
friendly terms. the only point of antago-
nism remaining now in a political way
being that the Smelter City journal is
on the most friendly terms with Aguin-
aldo, while the Miner in confederation of
Mr.. Clark's statement concerning expan-
sion, will be compelled perhaps unwill-
ingly to help Mckinley carry on the war.
Neither the Standard nor Miner can
consistently support the white metal
cause in the next election. no matter
what the action of the next national con-
vention might be, for the former has
openly repudiated the free coinage OF
silver. while Mr.. Clark's trembling hesi-
fancy demonstrates that he has weak
ened in it's cause.

the party to which he belongs. It is nip

which can fill the most space in the pub

Tho war in the Philippine Is
lands goes on, and while NO gener-
al engagement has taken place,
every day there is more or less fir
ing along the picket lines, and
every day adds to the list of wound
ed, and Occaeionally a soldier is
killed. The Filipinos seem dis
posed to scatter when our men ad-
vance, and that has led to dis
position on the part of our COM
manders to divide companies into
squads of dozen soldiers and in
that way follow up the Filipinos
wherever they go, hunt them in
their hiding places. There was
considerable of a battle on Monday
when the town Santa Cruiz on lake
Laguna De Bay was captured, six
American soldiers were wounded,
many of the enemy were killed and

took part in the fight. A con-

5 Americans were killed and "A

A APREsIDEaT's RECEPTION

President LOubet, of France
would seem to be blessed with a
keen sense of humor, if an anec-
dote be true which is being told
about him. When he returned
from Versailles he went to the
ministry of foreign affairs, and
there, in a big hall, one end of
which was bounded by glazed
partition, he received the official
compliments of all CONSTITUTED
bodies" AS is always the case in
these stories-though this particu-
lar one seems likely enough to be
founded on. fact-there was some
one, a servant probably, on the
other side of the glass partition.
He had a perfect view OF the long
solemn, ceremoniOus procession OF
functionaries of all sorts, ages and
sizes defiling before the plump
little president, saying the correct
thing, and moving off again; for
the hall was brilliantly Lit up and
the corridor was in darkness.
When the presentations were over,
the president remained behind
with the secretary for few mo-
mentS, aud this is what happened.
The Axo men looked at one another,
and-burst out laughing

Real Reason Is Given.

London, Aug. 5.-Whatever fanciful
reasons are offered for the visit of the
French minister of foreign affairs, NJ.
del Case, to ST. Petersburg, it is safe
to assume it has reference to the pres
ent unsettled condition of European
politics. The appearance of the United
States as world power is primarily
responsible for this disturbance, and
there are repeated signs of latent fric-
ton between Germany and the United
States, the latest being Dewey's al
legged warlike statements, which give
European statesmen cause for uneasi-
ness and are regarded as the motive for
Emperor Williams overtures for rap

still smarting under the humiliation of

primary object of del Case is therefore
to get public evidence that the alliance
holds good by persuadng the car 20

personal contact with the Russian court
and statesmen to ascertain to what eX-
tent the alliance may be relied on.
The visit of Herr Fischer, special
agent of the Orange Free State. to Pre-

ence is expected to lead President Kru-
ger to accept the British proposal for a

TORPEDOES WITHOUT WIRE.
Deadly E1piosivee Are Steered by Mean
of Electric Waves.

VI I1IeClFlc waves.
From the London Mail.
,Contemporaneous with the sitting Of
the international peace conference
comes the announcement of a new in
vention by which torpedoes are to be
rendered more deadly in modern war
fare than heretofore.
The invention, due to Walter jamie
son and John Trotter consists in util-
izing the ethereal Or "Hertz,an'
waves, which are the basis of wireless
biography, as a means Of steering and
controlling torpedoes on their deadly
missions.
The apparatus is made in several
forms, which differ principally in the
means by which the current induced
by the waves is applied to the steering
mechanism. The best arrangement
consists of coil of iron wire, or 'solen-
DID, that becomes magnetic on receiv-
ing the ethereal waves, and Is thus rem
dered capable of sucking into itself a
magnet, the motion of which brings
about any required change III the st err
ing gear of the torpedo.
The latter is fitted with two rods,
which project above the water and
serve as ''recevers"-that is, means of
collecting the waves. Each of the rods
is in connection with a coil of the type
described, one on the right of the tor
pedo and one on the left, and according
as the right-hand or the left-hand rod
absorbs the waves, so the torpedo is
guided to the right or left.
The means adopted in using the ap-
paratus is as follows: Suppose that
the torpedo is fired in the usual man
ner and that its course is seen to swerve
from its proper path. From the torpedo
boat electric waves are Immediately
dispatched by the processes used in
wireless biography, in such manner
| hAXF Ait hnF ha iET,1t
hand or left-hand coil controlling the
helm, which is thus turned in any re-
quired direction, and the original course
of the torpedo reproduced.
When this is accomplished the cleo
trio waves are stopped and the helm
flies back to the midship position.
Large models of the apparatus have
been experimental with, and 1t is said
that perfect success has been obtained
under all possible conditions. Since the
new method of guiding torpedoes is
greatly superior to the old, which made
use of electric wires, it is evident that
the new invention will be an important
factor in future naval warfare.
