WASHINGTON. March b.-M cam
bon the French Ambassador called az
the Department Of State to-day and
served formal notice OF the signing OF
the peace treaty at Madrid.
IL was agreed that the Ambassador
should act as the representative OF the
Spanish government IN making hnal eX-
changes. while Secretary Hay Will rep-
resent the government OF the United
States. Although not customary on such
occasions. it Is probable that President
Mckinley will be present at the nnal
ceremony of exchanging Publications
which in that case will take place at
the white House where the peace pro-
tocOl was signed.
II was said az the State Department
that tho Spanish government requested
that N. Cambon's services as its agent
be accepted. the French government
gave it's authorization and his designa-
ton was gratifying 10 our government.

A FEW days ago miner blythe name

plausible versit n of the trouble be-

pipes, They only superintend putting

done by Kaffirs and the Boer govern
ment has placed such restrictions about
the miners, provisions for collecting
damages etc. in case Of accident and
protection to their wages, that the min
ing corporations are in rebellion. He
mentioned some mines which have
been turned over TO British control and
says wages have been reduced to five
shIllings per day, one fourth the
amount in vogue In the Transvaal. Az

IT SEEMS quite possible that the re.
suit Of the South African war may be
new South African republic includ-
ing all the territory now settled, and
one that shall be power in the world.
OF course 1t Is we'll understood that
England has not yet been really &C.
verely strained and 1t may yet De true
that she can by force OF numbers over
run the Dutch, But 1t also seems ap-
parent that practically the whole BOer
population of South Africa is in revolt
which, II true, gives their side far
greater numbers than ht the first esti-
mates. Whether rightly or not the
newspapers, both in England anu on
the continent, especially the latter,
consider this as most dangerous crisis
to the British Empire. Many Of the
latter even say what many Americans
have said that for century or more:
England's power has only been held by
successful blutfing, that in that time
she has never fought against civilized
people unaided, which appears to be so
There is strong disaffection among
some Of her colonies and in any lasting
conflict which will require heavy taxa
ton they will not stay by her. AL
though reckoned as one Of the richest
nations Of the world, she enters this
war very scarce of funds. Her ma
tlonal debt is tremendous, any hope Of
paving the principal has long since
been abandoned and payment Of the
interest is all that is expected. Should
a really serious crisis come her brokers

they do elsewhere. Her navy may sus-
tain her, but in this conflict of what

MCKINLEY VS.. ooNoREss.

THE bill now pending In Congress
for the establishing Of the gold stand
ard permanently upon the country is
probably the most Infamous thing In
the line OF financial Legislation ever
proposed. Not that II makes the
financial system In theory any worse
than II has been for several years In
practice but 1t puts In definite form Of
law all the evils, infamies and abuses
Of the present system which has largely
grown up by the rullnRs OF secretaries
Of the treasury controlled by Wall
Street and without authority Of law,
For instance there was nothing In any
law establishing the ki00 0OO,OOO re-
serve, II was u Fiction Ut John Sher-
man and Wall Street. Neither was
there any authority In law for issuing
bonds TO buy gold to maintain the gold
reserve That was q fiction Of JOhu
Carlisle and Wall street, Neither was
there any authority In law for paying
the interest on the public debt, orprin'
cipal either, In gold alone. That prac
tice Was also u fiction Of the secretar-
les OF the treasury, Now 1t is proposed
In this new financial bill to give legal
force to all these usurpatlons Of these
officers II Mckinley has stamina
enough to stand by his former declara-
tions he will veto part Of them " the
bill is passed, notably that of issuing
bonds ts maintain the gold reserve,
And we must say that II we are TO
have the gold standard the president
ia in the right of this controversy. He
has repeated twice In his message the
following;
~ renew so much Of my recommend
alton Of December, 1897, as follows
"'That when any Of the United
States notes are presented for redemp-
tion In gold and are redeemed In gold,
such notes shall be kept and set apart
and only paid out In exchange for gold,
This 10 an obvious duty II the holder
of the United States note prefers the
gold and gets 1t from the government,
he should not receive back from the
government United States note with
out paying gold in exchange for IL.
The reason for this 10 made oil the
more apparent when the government
Issues an interest bearing debt to pro
vide gold for the redemption of United
States notes-a 0n-lnterest-bearln
debt Surely 1t should not pay them
out again except on demand and for
gold. II they are put out In any other
way, they may return again, to be fol-
lowed by another bond issue to redeem
them-another interest bearing debt
to redeem a non-interest- bearing
debit. Messages and Papers Of the
Presidents, Vol, x, Page 1893.
In this 1t will be seen that the presi-
dent fears the "endless chain" and
proposes a remedy for the prevention
of working 1t again, But the new bill
gives definite authority to the secretary
of the treasury to issue bonds and bur-
den the people anytime he deems it
proper.
