THE WAY TO WIN IN 1900
Senator Chandler Gives His Views on
Republican Policy
Warns New Hampshire Voters Against
1.-The Haiiroad Power" Trusts
and other Nenaces.

CONCORD, y. H, November 2s.-Tnitcd
States Senator VIM. f. Chandler ex-Gov.
Charles a. Busiel and others today issued
an address to the republicans of New
Hampshire. inviting cooperation in oppos-
ing what is termed 'the railroad power in
the state, and in suppressing evils arising
from industrial combines. and advocating
improved election laws and other reforms.
The address, in part. says:
The undersigned republicans solicit your
cooperation in efforts within the party to
obtain:
1.-THE statutory prohibition of free
passes on railroads.
'2-The repeal of the power of the su-
preme court to decide that any steam or
electric railroad which its promoters desire
to build, is unnecessary and hostile TO the
public good.
"a primaries law governing the eau
cuses and conventions of the political par
ties
1.-THE discontinuanoe of collection for
alleged campaign expenses of large sums of
money from office holders the treasures
and owners of railroads ana other sources
and the promotion of honest election meth
DDS.
'5-The suppression of the evils arising
from trusts"
Under the head of trusts the address ad-
vOcates the universal application in the
state and nation of the principle Of unre-
stricted competition, which is the life Of
trade and the basis of all prosperity in So
ciety. and the election of members Of legis-
lature and Of Congress who will enforce
this principle.
The conventions will readily enough de-
nounce trusts and declare for competition.
The danger is that the cause will be be
trayed by the representatives and senator's
in the state legislatures and in the national
Congress; so that extraordinary pains must
be taken by he people to stand against
such betrayals
The appeal concludes: The undersigned
believe that the neglect by republicans
generally to pursue earnestly and in good
faith the five objects named above will en-
danger republican ascendancy i'm state and
nation. while with the sincere and effective
pursuit of those objects state and national
victory in 1850 will be achieved"

SENATE CURRENCY BILL.
Finance Committee I'm Practical
Agreement with House Committee.

prominent member OF the Senate hnance

that committee had been called to consider
a currency bill, said that no formal notice
had been given of a meeting by the repub-
lcan members of the committee lie un-
derstood that the chairman Of that com
mittee would not return to Washington
until after Thanksgiving, but As all the
members of the committee were in Wash
ington. he assumed that there would be
some conference of the members Saturday,
and that the committee would probably be
able to submit the result of their delibera-
tions of last summer to 4 caucus Of the
republican senators whenever caucus
shall be called.
He said no bill had been prepared. but
that the subject had been so thoroughly
discussed that it would be only matter OF
a short time for its preparation by the Sem
ate committee. The senator also said that
ne did not think any formal meeting OF
the republicans of the Senate committee
with the members of the House caucus
would be held but from what he had
learned of the House caucus committees
action he thought there would be no essen
tiai disagreement with them on the pro-
posed financial legislation. There might be
differences az to methods and details, but
ne felt sure there would be an agreement
as to the result aimed at, which was a
declaration in favor of the gold standard.
and such legislation as would make positive
provision by law for ITS maintenance

NO HITCH AS TO SAMOA
Agreement Between England and America
Will Be Signed.
Subject Matter Of the Paper is All
Agreed tO-OnIy Needs Gram
maticaI Correction.

LONDON, November 2S.-It is officially
reported that the statement that the United
States has rejected the agreement between
Great Britain and Germany regarding Sa-
.rca and has submitted a new draft OF an
agreement is misleading. representative
of the Associated Press has been informed
ttat the exact status of the Samoan ques-
ton Is as follows:
Consequent upon the signing of the Sa-
moan treaty between Germany and Great
Britain, TO which the United States has sig
nified its assent, there was drawn up new
form Of agreement between Great Britain
and the United States. This was necessi-
tated by the new order of things, but In no.
wise affected the validity of the German
British agreement, which included spheres
of influence In Africa and IN other matters
entirely foreign to American interests.
The statement that the agreement has
been rejected is based, according to the
British officials, 'entirely upon the sugges-
lions made by the United States of a
change in the wording OF the draft of the
agreement between herself and Great Bri-
tain. Those changes are entirely gram
uatical and will be acceded to-
That the United States submitted new
treaty affecting the three powers concerned
is emphaticaI.y denied, as, it is pointed out
the United States. though consulted. was
not n signatOry to the British-German
treaty. Il Is presumed that the United
states has pending with Germany an
agreement similar to that with Great BTl-
tain. But in relation to the draft, over
which differences as to the wording arose
Germany has no concern. The foreign OF
fee expresses entire satisfaction with the
progress OF the negotiations, and 1t Is SAID
Officially that there is no danger apparent
of a0V hitch.

Questions From Embassies in London

lics: has prompted inquiries by the various

the Beers status.
But in spite of the ambiguous references
in the queens speech and other official

1t is tacitiy admitted by the British off,
cials that the usual communications rela-

earlier because it not thought that
victory would be deferred long enough to
make such a diplomatic step necessary.
The government maintains that giving the
Beers helltgerent rights does not constitute
an acknowledgment of their claim to in

contention that both foreign governments
