NO ATTEMPT TO CHANGE RATIO.
When Republicans Make it There Will be
Time Enough For Discussion.

(By the Associated Press.)
Salisbury, Md, Oct 24-In his speech
a Preston, Md, Mr.. Bryan made refer
ence to the financial question in response
to an inquiry. The question was How
about 16 to 1?' Mr.. Bryan said: eff you
want to know about 16 to /, I will tell
you. Sixteen to one was the paramount
issue in 1896, but the Republicans have
done so many mean things since then
that we are kept busy on the new things,
but if Republican disputes the 16 to /
doctrine, you tell him that we have a
Republican President, a Republican Sen
ate and Republican House and they
have never attempted to change the IS
ito / ratio, and Mr.. Mckinley is now coin
ing silver dollars at the ratio of 16 to
/ without waiting for the aid or consent
of any other nation on earth. Until the
Republican party proposes to change the
ratio, l object to their discussing the
ratio. When they propose to coin silver
we VIII discuss the ratio with them.

ENGLISH TALK OF
ASKING FOR PEACE
London StatiSt Declares the War Is Hurting Great
Britain Too Much and Must End.
Roberts Turns Command over to KtchenerGenerS Keep
the World From Knowing Truth.

London. Nov. 30.-The Statist will
propose tomorrow that the government
begin negotiations with Commandant
Botha and General Dewet to bring the
war to a close. As the Boer warriors
might misunderstood the motive of an
overture from the military authorities,
ii will suggest that the highest civil
authority in Cape Town should begin
the negotiations. if not Sir Alfred Mil
ner. then the chief justice of Cape Col
ony, or even J. II. Hofmeister.
This great financial journal viii lead
up to its proposal by an analysis of the
situation in South, and viii say:
We are losing in every way, losing
in prestige and losing in life. We are
seeing our South African possessions
plunged iptO greater distress, and the
opinion is gaining ground abroad that
we are incapable of bringing the Strus-
gle to a satisfactory termination.'
Military incompetency will be alleged
and the Statist viii aver that military
harshness should be avoided, and the
Beers conciliated.
If men like Botha and Dewet volun-
tarily surrender and bind themselves
not to act against us in the future the
Statist viii say, lis there any good rea-
son why a promise should not be given
not to send them out of the country?
]. 3. Robinson suggests that Botha
and DeWet should be invited to take
seats in the legislative council that viii
be established. The suggestion is
Z worthy of approval The Beers should
not be excluded, even from the begin
ming, from anything which can safely
be given them"
The war office announced this even
ing that Lord Roberts handed over the
command OF the British troops in
South Africa to Lord Kitchener.
1t is further asserted that the queen
approves Lord Kitchener'S promotion to
be lieutenant general, with the rank of

Radical Changes As to staff
It is provided that officers below the
grade of lieutenant colonel in any of
the staff departments shall serve one
year in the line, but shall not lose their
places in the staff corps. This provis-
ion Is one Of the most important and
radical Of the changes proposed by the
Dill. 1t amounts, in effect, to the abOli-
ton Of the staff corps as a permanent
institution, in which officers now serve
throughout their military career. The
proposition that line officers be- APP
pointed to do staff duty for a definite
period. and at the conclusion OF that
term return again to the line, has been
stTenuously advocated by many of the
best military authorities in this COIN
try for years. 1t is pet idea Of for
mer Secretary of War Proctor. now one

ROW OVER WAR TAX.
Republicans Postpone Committee
Meeting to Settle Differences.

Washington, Nov. 3G.-Chairman
Payne, Of the ways and means COM
mittee. issued notices yesterday recall
ing the previous notice of a full com
mittee meeting tomorrow 10 consider
the bill for the reduction of war rev
enue. The real reason for this action,
it is stated is because further infOT-
nation is desired as to the views of
the Republican members generally in
reference to this bill. Such features
of the measure prepared by the Re
publican members a. have become
known. together with omissions that
the committee have made in the pro-
posed reductions. have caused cOnsid-
cradle opposition, and it is probable
that a conference or caucus Of the Re
publican members will be held before
a final decision is reached. The great
est opposition that has developed
comes from the brewing interests. Rep
resentativeS from districts where a
great deal of beer IS manufactured
are making serious protests against
the committee in not reducing the tax
on beer There are some other inter
ests also which are making protests.

HARRISON MUST GO.
Son o. ex-President VIII Quit Army
Today.

Today.
New York. Nov. 30.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Lieu
tenant Russell B. Harrison, son of for
mer President Harrison, viii cease to
bc an officer of the army on SATURDAY,
Dec. 1. Earnest representations of
friends and personal appeals made to
the president and secretary of war
have failed, and he will be discharged
in accordance with the orders issued
while Secretary Root was in Cuba.
This action is taken in spite of the
favorable recommendation of Brigadier
General COckridge, inspector general,
who is chief of the corps of which
Lieutenant Colonel Harrison was a
volunteer member. and it is under
stood that Lieutenant General Miles
favored his retention. The president
decided. however, that the action Of
the war department was justifiable
and Lieutenant Colonel Harrison must
go.
In explanation of the determination
of the president and secretary of war
to drop Lieutenant Harrison from the
service. "A high Official of the war de-
partment said that he had been in
service longer than any of the other
sons of the noted men appointed dur
ing and subsequent to the war with
Spain. James G. Blaine. Steward NJ.
BTiCe and others of prominent families
were discharged months ago.
Lieutenant Harrison. il is said. has
shown no special aptitude for the army,
and as the department Of Porto Rico,
to which he was attached was recently
abolished, there is no further need for
his services.

The dispatch Of Lord Roberts an
nOuncing the capture by the Beers of
400 men, make the stories published in
the London papers during the last
week look ridiculous
BY actual account, Dewet has been
captured a dozen times. The BOer
forces are completely routed regularly
twice daily with thousands killed and
and wounded. Every foot of ground
in the two republics is paCified week

ends with the statement that only "a
few widely scattered bands of guerril-
las now remain.
Every correspondent who shared the
slightest desire TO tell the truth has
been banished and nothing but pain
fully evidently dOCtored dispatches
reach England
The afternoon papers, only six hours
before the news of Dewet's victory
arrived, contained the most ridiculous
headlines announcing a great victory
over DeWet.
