THU SILVER QUESTION
Democratic Committeeman Give 1t Minor
Place in Platform.
TRUSTS LIKELY TO BE THE ISSUE.
Chicago Paper Collects Series of In
terviews on the Subject-N ebraska
Sticks to the White MetaI-The Sem
timent In Other States.


CHICAGO, June 13.-zThe> Times
Herald has been asking members Of
the democratic national committee
what should be their party's battle
cry in 1JOO-whether free silver" or
down with the trusts oor> both. .
Today the Times Herald publishes
the answers of those that have been
received. While only one of the re-
plies of these democratic leaders, the
representative for Maine, the home
state of Bryan's running mate in 1896,
says, Drop free silver" they are all
but unanimous in giving the trust
question a prominence it never had in
the platform of their own or any other
party. With one exception all who
speak freely suggest that some other
issue will divide the stage equally with
free silver.
Some say "militarism" or Imperial
ism" will be one of the prominent is
sues. Others-a few-frankly empha-
size the trust question as the big
thing. Still others speak for a twin
battle cry.
One committeeman says fatty: "The
issues of 1896 should be the issues of
1900" This one is Alexander Troup
Of Connecticut. Half a dozen of the
committeeman are either noncommittal
or refuse to be quoted. They are:
George Fred Williams. Massachusetts;
d. J. Campau, Michigan; B. B. Small
ley, Vermont; Frank Campbell, New
York; T. D. O'Brien, Minnesota, and
J. G. Dudley, Texas.
A statement from Thomas Gahan,
national committeeman for Illinois,
cannot be obtained because he is not
in the city and cannot be reached by
telegraph. His attitude is, however
pretty we'll known. The committee
men who say free silver must have
first place in the platform, although
generously combined with the ques-
lions of trusts, militarism. and so on,
are in Colorado, Kansas. Nebraska, Ar
kansas and Indian Territory which
latter does not vote for president.
All the others either put the trust
question first or lay much stress upon
issues produced by the Spanish war.

DIES AT TIE POST or DUTY.

Captain Nichols of the Monitor Monad.
mock Voluntarily Sacrifices His Life
MANILA, June 13.-'Hhe funeral Of
Captain Henry Nichols, the command
er of the United States double-turret-
ed monitor MonadnOck, who died from
Sunstroke on Saturday, took place at
Cavite yesterday with appropriate GER
emOnieS. The officers or the feet were
present and the flags on all the vessels
were half-masted.
The sudden death of Captain Mich
OILS was particularly sad because it
occurred just at the nom mt when the
result for which he had hoped and
worked for for months was about to
be realized, namely the capture of
ParanaQue and its occupation by the
American forces. The MonadnOck has
been lying off Paranaqus for two
months past, under fire from the rebels
almost daily. The heat here has been
intense and the officers and men of the
Monadnock suffered greatly. The COM
mander in chief offered TO retire the
MOnadnOck from the trying duty and
replace it by another ship, but Captain
Nichols preferred to remain, Geclar-
ing that he did not want to leave his
post until Paranaque fell and the coast
from there to Cavite was cleared of
rebels. The heat on Saturday was
most severe and the monitor was en-
gagged all day in Smelling the trench
es at Paranaque and the rebels fleeing
south through Las Pinas, and also in
watching the American troops clos
ing il upon the towns. Captain Mich
OILS was overcome by the heat at noon
and retired to his cabin, where he re-
ceived frequent reports of the opera
ton and gave directions for several
hours. He became much worse at
o'clock, lost consciousness and expired
at in the afternoon. Several hours
before his death he expressed gratifi-
cation at the way events were pro-
crossing, remarking TO an officer: I'VE
have got the rebels there at last"

Paw of Naval Officers.

NEW YORK, June ia dispatch
% the World from Washington says:
The navy department has issued a
circular fixing the salaries of navy
officers under the naval personnel bill.
Admiral Dewey will receive $4,000,
whether on duty at sea or on shore.
The senior rear admiral's pay is fixed
at $500 at sea and $63I on shore.
Rear Admiral Schley is in this list,
but only receives the minimum
amount, as he is assigned to shore
duty. The Junior rear admirals re-
ceive $500 while on sea duty and
S4,677 on shore. Rear Admiral Samp-
son is in the Junior list, but having
a command at sea, receives the maxi
mum pay.
Should Schley be given an assign
ment at sea he would receive $4,000
more a year than Sampson, but as 1t
now is his pay amounts to but 1915
more. Captains receive $500 at sea
and $2,975 on shore.

OLEOMARGARINE SALES
Dairy Commissioner Norton Busy With
Prosecutions.
TWO CASES ARE AT OTTUMWA.
Near Glendale are Other Parties Who
Have Been Designating the Law In
This --Miscella neous Iowa
Matters in General.

Dairy Commissioner Norton is re-
ported to be doing land Office bust
ness enforcing the oleomargarine law.
Last week he secured the indictment
of one man in Des MOines, charged
with selling the yellow cOlored pro-
duct, and secured the arrest of three
persons near Ottumwa and Glendale
in the southern part Of the state. In
addition four persons charged with
conducting illegal milk business have
been indicted in Des NOines. The
penalty for these alleged violations Of
law is any fine under 500 and any
confinement of less than six months.
Commissioner Norton arrived hides
MOines, and was seen by reporter
for the Register and asked about the
prosecutions begun in southern Iowa.
He said: I'VE had two men arrested
at Ottumwa Junction last Thursday.
They were NJ. G. Powell and w. r.
Stubbs, who had been in Chicago, but
came out when he discovered that we
were investigating his case. Powell
was foreman and Stubs owned an
outfit for railroad wOrkmen, or some
thing of that sort, which was en-
camped near South Ottumwa, on the
Milwaukee road. The outfit had along
refrigerator car, in which we found
ten or fifteen tubs Of the yellow cleo
margarine. POwelIs case was cOntin-
ued until Monday next at 8 p. m.
which technically is that of having
possession of OleUmargarine with in
Stubs pleaded guilty to the charge,
tent to commit a public Offense, and
was bound over to the grand jury.
Down near Glendale, Oh the q,
we found enough tubs of the OleOmar-
garine to warrant prosecution, and we
had w. r. Childs arrested. He plead
ed guilty and was fined by the justice
Of the peace"
Il doubt if the method of dispOsing
of cases of this kind is legal, said
Assistant Commissioner Wright. Il
doubt if a justice has the power to fine
in these prosecutions, since the otfense
is an indictable one. | believe that the
Justice made a mistake
