DEMOCRATIC ISSUES.
Speculation Thereon by a Couple
of Leaders of the Silver
,. Movement.
WHITE METAL Is NOT TO DOMINATE

In the Opinion OF Both Gen. Warner and
SEQ. H. Keeney-Currency Phase of the
Money Question to Have n Front Pisse,
sats Warner Keeney's Views Some
what Differert-HIayor Jones and the
Independents of Ohio.
Milwaukee, July 1S.-Genera1 4. J.
Warner, president of the Bimetallic
League, who arrived in this city yes
terday, does not believe that the silver
question will be the leading one in
1900. He says that If the Philippine
war is not ended by that time the
strife on the islands will be one of the
leading issues of the campaign. He ex-
pressed the opinion that Bryan would
receive the Democratic nomination. q
do not believe there will be any change
whatever in the position of the Demo-
cratic party on the silver question"
said Warner. AT the same time the
increased production of gold is having
the same effect on the business of the
world that the restoration of silver
would have had il it had been restored
to free coinage and there had been no
increase in the product of gold.
Currency Question To BE Prominent.
In Other words, it is supply. and
not the particular color of the metal,
that does the work. The silver ques-
tion, therefore, may not press with the
same force in 1900 that it did in 1896.
The currency phase of the money Ques-
ton, however, which is unaffected by
the increased production of gold, will
assume special Importance in the COM
ing campaign, for all recognize that
currency legislation of some kind will
be pressed at the next session of con-
gress. The money question as a whole
will, therefore, keep a foremost place
in the platform and in the campaign of
both parties in the campaign of 1900"
Other issues, he said, would be trusts
and the Philippines. He believed the
administration would not be sustained
in the war for the subjugation of the
Philippines.
Silver To BE Less in Front.
New York. July 18.-Geo. H. Keeney,
president of the Association of Ma
tional Silver clubs, said to Times re-
porter: Il do not think that free silver
coinage will be made the principal is
sue in the platform the Democrats will
adopt next year. If Mr.. Bryan obtains
control of the convention, he will, of
course, see that silver has a prominent
place in the platform; but no man or
faction can, l believe, force that issue
back into the prominence it had in
1895. L do not believe that
will be made the chief
or even a conspicuous plank. Again,
the trusts are not going to be played
very heavily as a political card"
Speaks of Revolt A. sainst Bryan.
Keeney said that there is very de-
cided revolt in the south and east
against Bryan. German is stronger
than he is usue 7ly considered he said
'.FThaTp fS a G Aicnncifinr, ba
part of eastern and southern Democrats

doors of a saloon between them Will

Frederick Condor, a travelling sales
man, fought to the death yesterday aft

through the left thigh. The men were
business partners for some time, but
the business was broken up and there
had been bad blood between them ever

Yesterday afternoon a telephone mes

Condor saying he was coming down
to ''do up" Van Allen. An hour later
Condor entered the saloon and Van
Allen pushed him out on the sidewalk.

FIVE FEUDIsTs ARE DEAD.
Another Outbreak of Fatal Shooting in the

Another Outbreak of Fatal Shooting I'm the
Ozark and Bloody Ground"
Louisville, July 18.-A special to The
Courier Journal from London, KY, tells
of report reaching there of the out
break of another feud in Clay county
by which five men lost their lives yes
terday. The dead are said to be:
Robert Philpot, Ed Fisher, Aaron Nor
ris, Jim Griffin and Hugh Griffin.
These fatalities resulted from a
pitched battle fought near Little Goose
Creek. three miles from Manchester.
The feud dates back nearly two years.
On Christmas, 1897, James Philpot was
killed by Aaron Morris, but before he
died he shot and killed William Bundy.
a friend of Morris. The Morrises and
Griffins were closely affiliated. Since
then, the feeling between the two fac
tions has been very bitter and it has
been aroused recently by the White
Baker hostilities.

tition-No Hopeful View.
Washington, July 16.-An extended
cabinet meeting was held today
Gage. Wilson, Alger and Griggs are out
of the city. The Manila correspond
ent's Round Robin" was discussed,
and a decision reached to allow the
matter to drop. Officially it will he
ignored. Otis will be allowed to
treat it as he deems best.
The state department announced
it has received from the Philippine
commission an important dispatch to
the effect that by the cooperation of
the military and the commission,
municipal governments had been es-
tablisbed in seven important towns in
the provinces of Manila and Cavite
These are working admirably. One
of the good effects is that consid-
cradle mum bers of the insurgents
are constantly deserving; some with
arms. Continued success in this di-
rection means the beginning of the
end. The commissioners state the
general situation as des cribed III the
message of Otis of June 26 is correct,
except that number of ports have
since been opened to trade. The dis
position to accept American sover-
eighty everywhere is manifested. The
statement adds the courts are in sue
cessful operation under able Fill
pinos, and that Otis speaks OF the
general desire of the volunteers to re-
enlist

Independent in Ohio.
Toledo, July 1S.-The governor has
practically turned down the Cincinnati
labor union men who desire him to run
for governor on an Independent ticket
Contrary to expectations the commit
tee OF Cincinnati people which was to
see him Sunday did not materialize, but
the mayor has been approached by
Chairman Candee, and the result of the
talk is anything but hopeful for the
labor delegates. Mayor Jones has re-
fused to father an independent move in
the state, and insists that he will wait
on the action of the people.
IL they rise up and demand his candi-
dacy he Will then consent. He will not
start any Independent move nor be a
party to such a proceeding. This he
told Chairman Candee and such a re-
port will be made to the labor organ
iZation of Cincinnati. Candee stated
to the newspapers of Toledo yesterday
that if Colonel kilbourne is nominated
by the Democratic party there will be
no third party movement in the state.

OPINION OF an ENGLIsHMAN.
Says 1t VIII Take Fouf fesre and 100. 900
Men to Whip the Rebels

Minneapolis, July 1S.-The Times
says: According to H. baskerville Ma
son, of London, who is now at the West
hotel, the worst is yet to come in the
Philippines. Mason has spent consid-
cradle time during the last five years
at Manila. AT the most conservative
estimate" he said, II think that we
will not see an end of the fighting out
there in less than four years. There
were not enough regular or trained
troops to start with. 1t takes at least
a years service to make regulars out
of volunteers.
81 think that it will take at least 100,-
600 men to accomplish what this coun-
try set out to do in the Philippines.
General Otis has about 10000 soldiers,
and l doubt if over 1900 are fit for
active service. Opposed to these Aguin-
aldo has about 10000 men and they are
well supplied with $4,000 guns"

Washington, July Is.-The publica-
ton of the war correspondents formal
indictment of General Otis manage
ment of the Philippinecampaig caused
a sensation in the departments here.
This indictment was addressed to Gen.
eral Otis: charged him with misrepre-
senting the facts and untruthfully stat
ing the situation in his dispatches,
while he refused to permit the corre-
spondents to telegraph the truth. The
indictment wound up as follows:
Specifications: Prohibition of hospi-
tai reports, suppression of full reports
of field operations in the event of
failure, number of heat prostrations in
the field, systematic intimidation of
naval operations and suppression OF
complete reports of the situation 1t

Secretary Hay had received advices
as late as yesterday from civil as well
as military sources in the Philippines
which led him tor say that the situation
there was certainly improved material

ture had frightened very much With
these advices, the secretary said, Cen
eral Otis had nothing to do. and they
were from disinterested persons whose
opinions must carry weight. Generally
there was strong disinclination ex-
hibited by the officials TO discuss the
matter. General Miles, who was act

of Secretary Alger and Assistant Sec

upon the dispatch.
