AND MARK HANNA AGREES.
Senator Warren of Wyoming Sings
Praises of Republicans.

Chicago, May Ex-senator Francis
L. Warren of Wyoming, was at the
Auditorium annex today.
The st. Louis conference was signifi-
can't he said, lin that it foreshadows
the probable platform the Democrats
will adopt next year. 1t looks as il
they were preparing to sing exceedingly
low on the silver proposition and fiaunt
high the banner of anti-imperialism
and antitrust. They will probably
give a sort of epuivocal Endorsement
to the Chicago platform of 1896, but
they will make their principal fight
along the other lines.
The Republican party will take
such action as seems best calculated
to check the trust epidemic, but 1 think
the evil is quite likely to find a remedy
to a large extent in itself.
las to the anti-imperialistic, eXpan-
sion cry, the Republican party has met
this successfully, solved all great prob
lens which have confronted the coun-
try and will do the same with refer
ence to the ones now before it,
Senator Mark Hanna, who has been
in Chicago for several days, will leave
FOR his home tomorrow.
Il agree with Senator Warren's esti-
mate of the situation" he said.

ANOTHER SEARCH FOR ANDREE
RELIEF PARTY FOR COAST OF
GREENLAND LEAVES.
Theory That Missing Aeronaut
Might Be In Vicinity of 73rd De-
gree North Latitude. ri1t

Copenhagen. May 26.-The expedi-
ton under Professor A. G.. Nathorst,
which is TO search along the northeast
coast of Greenland for Professor
Andree, the missing aeronaut, has sail
ed from Helsingborg. Sweden.
Professor Nathorsts relief party sail
ed on the steamer Antarctic. of which
he is part owner. A wealthy Nor
wegian merchant named Hammes VIII
defray almost the entire. cost of the
expedition. after carefully examining
the region between the 73rd and 18th
degrees north latitude, Professor Nath-
orst will proceed toward Cape Bis
marck, on the east coast of Greenland,
in the hope of meeting Captain Otto
Sverdrup's expedition, which left Chris
tiana last June on the Fran.
His theory is that Andree, if alive is
probably on the northeastern coast of
Greenland. He argues that if the
missing aeronaut landed in Greenland
and took the east coast route to the
south, several years must elapse before
he could work his way without a ship
to the nearest settlement.
The relief party consists of six
scientific men beside DR.. Nathorst and
a crew of thirteen. The plan is to head
for jan Mayen, an island in the Arctic
ocean, and then to follow the ice edge
until an opening is found through
which the shore can be reached.

MONEY FOR CUBA'S FREEDOM
OVER A MILLION DOLLARS COL
LECTED IN UNITED STATES.
Junta Denies the Report of Fabulous
Sums Being Contributed For the
War With Spain.

New York, May 26.-Inquiries having
been made concerning the amount of
money received and expended by the
junta in connection with the recent
troubles in Cuba and war with Spain.
T. Estrada Palma. the delegate in this
country of the so-called Cuban repub-
lie in an interview, said:
The idea that upward of $4,000, 900
was collected for the Cuban cause and
turned over to me as the Cuban repre-
sentative is rubbish The estimate that
S4 800. 900 was subscribed by Cubans in
the United States during the last four
years is preposterous. I don't suppose
it was much more than half a million
dollars, and the total amount received
by me from all sources was probably
less than 81, $50. 900. OF this about $40
600 was received from Cuban planters
on account of taxes. the Cubans in
Paris may have subscribed s150, 900. and
the private contributions of Americans
and Cubans in the United States were
probably less than $4,000. l shall ex-
plain all of these matters at the proper
time"

Labor at the Salt Palace

1t was reported to the Federated
Trades at last nights meeting that
Salt Lake is flooded with convict-made
broows, manufactured by Lee, Brown
& Co. of Davenport, Ia After consid-
cradle discussion. a committee of five
members was appointed to visit the
storekeepers and see what could be
done towards getting them not to ham
Ole any brooms made by eOnvicts.
IL was reported that the plumbers
union had appointed delegates to the
federation. and the report was hailed
with satisfaction, as the plumbers have
not been represented heretofore
Another question discussed was the
Salt Palace. The idea was to have
union labor employed and union wages
paid. After some debate a committee,
consisting of ]. II. Britain, T. Trow-
bridge, A. Bernstein. Fred Gardner
Karl Ostby and William Desmond. was
appointed 10 wait upon the Salt Palace
directors and keep them alive to the
fact that they promised to employ
union men and pay union wages, and
TO get them TO insert a clause to that
effect in all contracts let by the di-
rectors
The matter of Sunday closing next

stores close on Sunday, was handled

MRS. BRYAN ON THE ROSTRUM
ADDRESSES TO GRADUATING
CLASS AT JACKSONVILLE.
Takes For Her Subject "The Ameri-
can Woman" and Handles It In a
Mastery Manner.

Jacksonville, Ills, May 26.-Mrs. Will
lam j. Bryan, herself graduate of the
Academy for Young Women in this
city, made the chief address to a
graduating class today. Mrs. Bryan
spoke on THE American Women" She
said, among other things:
THE American woman should be
sufficiently Independent TO study her
own surroundings, choose her own
course and live the life which is best
for herself and those nearest her, with
out regard to the opinions of the outer
world.
While we hear great deal these
days about equality, the real perman-
ent advancement of women depends
on her own individual development
When man finds in woman a thorough
appreciation of his work and aims;
when the mind of woman becomes the
perfect supplement and complement of
the mind of man which the creator in
tended it to be, then will all the dis
cussions as to the right and privileges
cease. Woman has long been IA recog-
nized power in the spiritual world, and
when one looks into church in any
part of our land and sees how much
of the work is done by woman. it seems
almost superfluous to say that the
ideal of American Womanhood is at
tanned under a three-fold development
of the physical, the mental and the
spiritual

DREYFUS' CRY OF INNOCENCE.
LETTERS WRITTEN BY HIM
WHILE IN PRISON.
Once Prepared to Hang Himself, But
Feared That He Would Be
Thought Guilty.

Paris, May 26.-The Figaro publishes
today some notes written by Dreyfus in
November and December, 1894, when he
was awaiting trial. These. in part, are
as follows:
During the seventeen days following
my arrest underwent several examin-
ations. An officer came in the evenings
with his secretary, anger in his eyes
and insult on his lips. My over-tasked
brain. could not stand more.
II always asked what were the proofs
of the accusation, but he refused TO
show them, and said that the ipstru-
ment of my so-called crime was a let
ter. Why was l not shown it?
MY condition became such that /
wished to commit suicide. 1 was mad.
In the midst of my trouble 1 took my
sheets and prepared to hang myself to
the window, but l reflected that if
died thus, all would think me guilty
and that 1 must live in order to cry
aloud that l am innocent"
Dreyfus goes on TO express astonish
ment that he should be arrested and
disarmed because experts asserted that
his writing was similar to that of the
letter. Throughout the
they said to him: You
are lost; nothing can save you" FL
hdiiy ne was iHIornleu, ne says, thdt ne
would be sent before a courtmartial,
as the Prescriptions of guilt were sufti-
cient to warrant it. Thus the "over-
whelming proofs of the first days of
the investigation had become. at the
end of two months, only ''presump-
TONS" To this he replied:
Il declare that a monstrous infamy is
being committed towards me, a name
less act of cowardice. L have nothing
to do with investigating judges, but
with executioners"

STOP AT VARIOUS PLACES.
Dewey Will Not Make Public His
Itinerary.

Washington, May &c = Admiral
Dewey telegraphs the navy department
that he will stop at various places on
his way to the United States and will
reach New York about Oct l.
Admiral Deweys dispatch did not
enumerate the points where the
Olympia will touch en- route to New
York. 1t NAV be an effort will be
made to ascertain this for the benefit
OF some of the towns especially along
the Mediterranean who may desire to
take official notice of the visit of the
distinguished naval officer and his
famous flagship.
Some of Dewey's friends in the
navy department suspect that the adj
mlral IS purposely evading a state
ment of his itinerary so as to avoid as
far as possible all demonstrations:
One result of the postponement of
the admirals arrival in this country
until October has been the impossibility
of the admiralS presence at the c. A.
r. encampment at Philadelphia. His
friends there say that after all that
was the only occasion which the adj
miral had positively promised to at
tend and they intimate that in having
been obliged by his health to decline
the dinner at HOngkong in honor of
the queens birthday. Admiral Dewey
will find it impossible to depart from
the rule heretofore established and at
tend any banquets or popular demon
STATIONS in this country.
Most of the time of Admiral Dewey
before his return it is expected will
be passed in Mediterranean ports and
generous part at Malta and
Gibraltar and perhaps coming by the
southern route the Olympia will touch
at the Azores and Bermuda

OUT in THE FIFTH.
Terry McGovern Defeats Sammy
nelly In New York.

New York, May 26.-Terry McGovern
of Brooklyn defeated Sammy Kelly in
less than five rounds at the Broadway
Athletic club tonight. Kelly was in
good shape, but McGovern, with the
weight on his side, was better. Both
stripped well, and although McGovern
was the favorite at 100 to 40 on, there
were many bets made at even money
that Kelly would last twenty rounds
In the opening round McGovern pun
ished his opponent on the body very
severely. McGovern came up like a
bulldog in the second round and forced
Kelly into the iatter's corner, sending
right and left to the head, wind and
ribs. Kelly, in an endeavor to break
ground, slipped to the floor, and Nc
Govern helped him to his feet.
In the third, McGovern began bear
ing in and sending his trip-hammer
right hard and fast To Kelly's ribs.
During the fourth, McGovern kept on
forcing, landing hard and often, and
had Kelly weak from body blows at
the bell.
In the fifth round, McGovern was the
aggressor, and got Kelly into a neu-
trail corner. He swung his left to the
head. followed it by right on the jaw,
Kelly Then. without a
delay. he sent his left TO the
jaw, and Kelly fell backward, his head
striking the floor heavily. McGovern
danced around his PROSTATE opponent
while the referee was counting ten sec
onds.
Kelly, who was not unconscious,
tried hard TO, get up, but it was to no
purpose, and he was counted out.

that in one thing. at least. the orien-
tai much resembles his American friend.
IL is in the elaborate style of his cuisine
when he entertains the swells-fOr
there are swells in China. The happy
wight in question describes a dinner he
was so unfortunate as to be obliged To
attend. 1t may be taken as a sample
of all such affairs in the land of the
pigtaI. A real swell feast, he says,
lasts for three hours. and all the while
attendants wave peacock feather fans
over the heads of the guests and keep
some sort of incense burning that fills
the air with fragrance. The dinner be-
gins with cake and apricot kernels, with
watermelon seeds washed in salt for a
relish. Then comes a group of courses,
ham gaInished with bamboo sprouts,
smoked duck and cucumbers, picked
chicken, shrimps with leelxs, spiced sau-
sage-fancy it's ngredients.-with cell
cry fish with fir tree cones and sweet
pickles. After this comes peaches in
honey, pomegranateS, water cheStnuts,
fresh thorn apples and honey gold
cake. 1t is not uncommon to have sew
enty courses, and one is proffered birds

mushrooms and pigeon eggs. lotus
seeds, the stomachs of fat fish, whales

ever supped or dined in China at home,
he has the sense to shut his eyes and
open his mouth and let the eatables

WORK OF Y. NJ. C. A.
Proceedings of Convention at Grand
Rapids, Mich.

Grand Rapids. Mich, May 26.-There
was a large attendance at all sessions
of the Y NJ. c. a. international con-
vention today. At the morning session
the subject of discussion was Forces
Which Are Destroying Young Men,
Anthony Comstock's topic was I'm
purity and his address was devoted
mainly to a description of the work of
the New York Society for the Suppress
sion of Vice, which, he said, must have
financial assistance at once in order to
maintain its usefulness. He was fol-
lowed by DR.. E. NJ. Buckley, editor of
the Christian Advocate, who spoke of
"Rationalism," which he considered a
dangerous force, but not nearly so bad
as impurity or intemperance.
In the afternoon the convention was
divided into three conferences, one of
which, led by w. d. Murray of New
York, discussed Bible Study" An
other, led by Bruno Hobbs of Kansas
City, considered Religious Meetings."
and a third, led by S. NJ. Sayford of
Boston, discussed Personal Work" for
an hour.
The Auditorium was crowded again
at the evening session, which was de-
voted to reports from field secretaries.
One of the most interesting addresses
was that of William c. Weldon, presi-
dent of the association at Honolulu.

CONSUMPTION NOT HEREDITARY
Prof. Vischow Makes An Important
Statement.

Berlin, May 26.-Dr. Won Schweinitz,
the American representative at the
tuberculosis congress here, has been
chosen honorary secretary of that body.
DIR. Boyd, who represents the United
States navy at that body, will give a
dinner at the Hotel Bristol to the
United States government delegates
and to the higher German medical Of
ficials.
Professor Leyden gave a brilliant re-
ception this evening to the delegates,
which was attended by the imperial
chancellor, Prince Won Hohenlohe. the
foreign diplomatists and other notable
persons.
This evening Professor Rudolph Vir-
chow delivered an important address
before the congress, rejecting the the
DRY of hereditary tuberculosis. This
doctrine, he declared. was contradicted
by all his pathological researches. He
said he had never found tuberculosis in
unborn or newborn infants, though 1t
might be contracted during the first
days existence.
