This Il the Demand Of tho Gold STANDARD
Men.


New York, April S.-A declaration
for flexible currency based on the
gold standard was adopted to-day by
the executive committee Of the Indian
apolis Monetary convention at meet
ing in this city called by the chairman,
II. II. Hanna of Indiana, for the pur-
pose of getting the advice OF the COM
mitten upon the recommendation to
be presented to the Republican caucus
committee of the House of Represen-
tatlves, which will meet at Atlantic
City April 18th.
Among those who attended We're

zard of Rhode Island and Eugene
Levering, Baltimore.
Two members of the Monetary com
mittee, ex-Sccretary Charles Il. Fair
child of New York and William B.
Deane of Minnesota, were present by
invitation, and discussed some of the
changes proposed IN the present none
tary system. Charles $. Hamlin of
Boston, recently assistant secretary of
the treasury, was elected n member OF
the executive committee.
A report was made by sub-commit-
tee and adopted, declaring the bill OF
the monetary commission to be broad
and comprehensive in its scope and
containing such provisions as are nee
essary to settle the financial problem,
but authorizing the chairman to sug-
Eest such notifications as might be
necessary to secure legislation not in
consistent with the principles of the
bill. The following resolution was
adopted unanimously as the expression
of the committees:
Resolved. That the executive COM
mittce Of the indianapolis Monetary

gress the adoption of II monetary sys-
TEN based on the gold standard, ade-
uuate in volume and sufficiently fieNi-

panding volume of domestic trade and

Spain's decision to prosecute Ad-
miral Cervera and the former captain
OF the Cristobol Colon for the loss of
the fleet off Santiago. savors of the
ethics OF the Middle Ages. On the 9TH
er hand, an act one hundred and fifty
years ago, of Maria Theresa, collat-
eral ancestor Of the Queen Regent of
Spain, embodies the generous spirit of
the nineteenth century. When Mar
shal Daun lost a decisive battle, after
bravely contesting it, his queen went
out from her capital to meet him on
his return, and by the warmest ex-
pressions of kindness and confidence
raised his crushed spirits. In this she
won a commendable victory.

Christmas tree As the cities grew larg-

of Thanksgiving as a feast day, the de-

years ago carload from the Androscog-

Castine comprised all the Christmas
trees sent out from Maine. Finding there
was money in the business, the farmers
and owners OF waste land sought to en-
large their market, and succeeded SO well
that in December, 1898, more thar 100.-
