TUESDAY EVENING JULY %. 1899

SOME of the opponents OF democracy,
and those who, while calling them
selves democrats, are during all they
can to effect the continued domlnancy
OF the republican party, with its unnec-
esssry wars and consequent high tarlh'
are criticising Mr. Bryan adversely ior
interfering in State affairs by helping
to elect the regular democratic ticket
in Kentucky. But Mr.. Bryan deserves
we'll of his party for doing so. The OBJ
ject of his party is success, and he has
common sense enough to know that
success in the whole country depends
upon success in the different parts
thereof, and that there cannot be sue
cess in any part, without unity in that
part. He, therefore, is using his infu
ence to effect such unity in Kentucky,
and though Mr.. Goebel may not bs
agreeable to some of the democrats Of
that State, Mr.. Bryan, like Mr.. Cleve-
land did when he was candidate, adj
vises them to abide by the decision Of
their party's convention.

The Late Brooklyn Strike.

New York, July 25.-Accordiog to
the estimate of the striking conductors
and motormen only sixty per cent. Of
the usual number of cars are running
today on the Second Avenue line in
Manhattan. The company claims it is
running the full quota OF cars. Cen
eral Master Workman Parsons declared
today that the boycott against that lire
will be continued and that it will be
felt more and more from now on. He
has appointed committee to consider
what the future course of the strikers
will be. The committee will also fled
means with which to provide for the
men who have lost their positions by
striking. The Brooklyn trolley strike
shows no signs of revivifcalion.

THE railroad strike in New York Is
over, and the street cars there are run
ming regularly. The strikers have lost
their wages and, many of them, their
places, and those who were reemploy'
ed are paid the same wages they were
receiving when they struck. Even a
burnt child breads the fire, but those
who strike without having previously
secured other places are siIlier than
children. However, there is, always
has been, and always win be, a large
class of that sort of people who if
prayed in mortars will be the same sort
still.

THE famous international conference
at The Hague has about concluded its
sessions, and the result thereof has prac'
ticslly amounted to nothing Arma-
ments will still go on, and difference g
between nations be settled in the future
as in the past by war or by concessions
of the weaker powers, and might will
make right, as it always has done and
always will do. But the American
members of the conference have had q
good time at the expense of the tax
payers of their country.

From Havana.


Havana, July 25.-Two Americans
developed yellow fever yesterday AS
the result, the quarantine against Vera
Cruz and Santiago is being more rigid
ly enforced. A number OF Americans
have been refused transportation to
Santiago where, however, the fever
conditions are improving, there having
been only one case developed in the
last ten days.
A report received here from Wash

Kinley proposed an early evacuation OF
Cuba by the American troops is not
favorably received even by many Gu
bans, who realize that Cuba is not yet
ripe for self-government.

The Ingcrsoll Funeral Services.

New York, July 25.-The funeral
services over the body Of Col. Robert
G. Ingersoll were held at 4 o'clock this
afternoon in the house at Dobbs Ferry.
Outside of members of the family few
we're pre- sent. There were no set exer-
cises. Prof. John Clark Ridpath, In
garsolPs intimate friend, read selec'
lions from the Colonies writings and
paid tribute to the deceased. Major
Orlando L. Smith delivered brief eu-
logy and read the Colonel's last poem,
The Declaration OF the Free" To
morrow morning the body will be taken
by special train to Fresh Pond, l.. l.,
and cremated. There will be no pail
bearers. When the incineration is
completed the members OF the family
will convey the ashes to their home in
an urn.
Dobbs Ferry, n. Y, July 25.-The
arrangements announced this morning
for the incineration of the body OF Col.
Ingersoll, at Fresh Pond tomorrow,
have been temporarily abandoned out

and her daughters, who refuse for the
present to give up the dead. All plead

been of no avail. Should Mrs. Inger-
soil and her daughters become more
reconciled to their loss the cremation
may take place Thursday. 1t was said
this afternoon that the three women
are in state of collapse. They refuse
to leave the death chamber for the
shortest time. They will hear to moth

The PRESIDENT has certainly done
all he could to provoke race trouble
at White Oak, Alabama. The negro he
appointed postmaster there, knowing
that his acceptance of that position
would be Objectionable to all the people
served with mail at that Office, ard be
likely to create ill-feeling, if not worse,
declined it, but Mr.. Mckinley insisted
that he should accept it, and sent it
back to him. But the negro declined
it again, and said be had been informed
there was no law by which he could be
forced to take an Office he did not want.
Poor and lowly as he may be, the negro
referred to is evidently a far better ciii-
zen than Nj. Mckinley.

The Arbitration Convention.

The Hague, July 25.-Tne last bust
ness session OF the peace conference
was held today. There will be another
meeting tomorrow or next day, when
the protocol will be signed. OF the con.
ventons, only the first which relates to
arbitration is substantial, and this will
probably be the only one signed gener-
ally by the powers. The arbitration
convention provides for a permanent
court to be composed Of four or less
delegates from each nation and to sit al
The Hague. Recourse to this court
will be optional An agreement to ar
bitrate disputes is practically the sole
result of the conference. Speaking OF
the results of the conference, one of the
French delegates said: IT'S all very
fine, but this is not peace" Ambassa
dor White, head Of the American dele
CATION, said the results are better than
be dared to hope for; that arbitra
ton paves the wsy for ultimate dis
armament. The American delegates
will sign the various articles of the
protocol subject to the constitutional
right of the U. S. Senate to repudiate
their signatures. The protocol COM
mends certain unsettled points to the
consideration of second conference.

TYLER AND MARTIN.

The campaign for the United States
senatorship between Senator Martin
and Gov Tyler was practically opened
yesterday when Hon. William A. Jones
aud MIR. Glenn Green, of Charlotte
county, met at Halifax Court House in
Joint debate. The former represented
Tyler ami the latter Martin, and in
dealing with the records Of the two
cane 1ates the speakers were quite per-
sonal.
Mr.. Jones's speech was vigorous at
tack upon the record of Senator Martin.
tie charged him with having helped
Kill the Senate resolutions looking to
the popular election of Senators, and
said that at the Roanoke convention
he went to Mr. Martin and besought
tim to vote for senatorial primary
resolution, but Martin refused.
Mr.. Green's reply was aggressive.
He said Martin was the most peerless
democrat in Virginia. Tyler was
straw man. He dwelt on the fact that
Martin had secured for the employees
in government navy yards back p,y for
overtime during the war. Tyler had
been running for office ell his life. The
people made him Governor to get rid Of
him. If he was made Senator, Ed.
Echols, gold democrat, would become
Governor.
Mr.. Green made an earnest speech,
in which he strongly presented MIR.
Martins claims for reelection and re-
viewed his work in the Senate.
The meeting seemed to favor Martin.
TREATY WITH FRANCE SIGNED.
An agreement on the disputed points
in the reciprocity negotiations between
France and the United States was
reached yesterday afternoon and the
treaty was signed at the State Depart
ment by NJ. Cambon, the French am
bassador, and Mr.. Kasson, reciprocity
plenipotentiary of the United States.
The agreement was q compromise. The
disputed points were II in number and
after consideration of the objections
the United States decided to compro-
mise in order to prevent the negotia
tons from comingto nothing. France
consented to place on the minimum
list majority of the twelve articles in
dispute, but refused to do so with re.
gard to several, including horses and
cattle. This is not regarded as OF great
consequence, as comparatively little
live stock is exported from America to
that country. Considerable concessions
were made by the United States on
oranges, grape fruit, and sugar in the
treaty signed on Saturday with Great
Britain in behalf of Jamaica. The
treaty contained also provision, that
coffee imported from Jamaica shall be
free of duty for five years.
There will be no further reciprocity
negotiations with any country unless
Congress should renew the authority
granted by the Dingley bill for the
period of three years which expired
yesterday.
