River New.

The Chic river is still falling slowly
at all points from the Pennsylvania
state line to Point Pleasant, and indi-
cations are that the fall will contn-
ue. The coming of another cold spell
of weather Is looked upon by rlvermen
as meaning a freeze-up and they are
not feeling very good over the pros
poets.
Business was not so brisk at the
river yesterday, the boats in and out
not being so numerous as on the pre-
vious day. Some coal went down early
yesterday morning, but none during
the day.
The locals were all in and out on

The Bedford leaves this morning for
Wheeling at a. m.
The towboat John A. Wood which
passed here during the next to the last
rise, has reached New Orleans with
her tow of coal and has started on her
return to Pittsburg.
A slump in river business followed
the period of activity during the re-
cent boating stage, and not bushel of
coal went out yesterday. There are
very few towboats in the harbor, the
most of them being on the way down
the Ohio. The Maggie, Robert Jenk-
ins and Frances arrived yesterday.
The Clara Cavot went light, and the
packet Queen City arrived from Gin

GOLD DEMOCRATS STAND FIRM

That no misapprehension may arise
through this statement, it is well to be
explicit. The Free Press stood true to
its political traditions and opposed Mr..
Bryan in 1896, because of the financial
heresies to which the Chicago plat
form committed him and to which was
attracted unsafe elements in American
citizenship. Our convictions in this
relation have only been strengthened
and confirmed by intervening exper-
fence. If Mr.. Bryan be nominated at
the Kansas City convention and that
representative body reaffirm the finan-
cial plank Of the Chicago platform, we
can support neither the declaration of
principles nor the candidates who
stand for it.
This is without qualification or res
ervation. We have no aid or sympathy
for any movement that has for its ulti-
mate purpose the vitiation OF national
currency, the overthrow Of prosper ty,
the Generalization of business, and the
baseness of reputation. If the So
called Democratic party clings blindly
to it's free silver coinage plank, rejected
as it was under conditions most favor
able to it's adoption, 1t is rushing to its
ruin, just as 1t seems to be in the judy
ment of Mr.. White and the thousands
of other old line Democrats who re-
fused four years since to renounce
their allegiance Detroit Free Press,

to raise 100000 troops. Why did. you
do it If 1t was not for the purpose of
asserting and maintaining the author
ity of the United States government in
those islands? Why, then, this com
planning Of the President for doing the
very thing that Congress, on both
sides of the House, authorized him and
clothed him with 100, 900 men to do?
Did you give him that 100. 900 men
in order that the secretary of state
might write some diplomatic letters on
the subject? No; you gave 1t ia order
to clothe him with the necessary mil
itary power to do just exactly what
he has been doing in the Philippine
islands. And l say that it comes with
bad grace from gentlemen who voted
for that bill to attack the aaminfstra-
ton for using these very soldiers in
the very way and manner that YOU
knew he was to use and expected that
he would use them when you voted
him 100000 men little over a year
ago.

OUR TITLE THE STRONGEST.

Extract from recent speech in the
house Of representatives by Congress
man Marsh of Illinois:
/ hold, Mr.. Chairman, that our title
to the Philippine Islands is as COM
plete as is our title to the state of
Florida. We acquired each of them
from Spain; we acquired each Of them
by treaty with Spain, and the duty OF
the national government to maintain
its authority in the Philippine Islands
and suppress insurrection and armed
rebellion against the United States is
just as strong and just as powerful as
it would be to suppress rebellion in
the state of Florida. 1t rests upon the
fact that the sovereignty OF the Unit
ed States extends over the Philippine
Islands as well as it extends over the
State of Florida.
Our title to the Philippine Islands
and to Puerto Rico is as complete
and as indefeasible as our title to the
Louisiana purchase. We acquired one by
a treaty which has no more sanctity
and binding efficacy than the other;
and while Florida contains one state
and the Louisiana purchase contains
fourteen states and territories, the
aegis and sovereignty OF the United
States is there, no more there and no
more right to be there than it Is in
the Philippine islands
/ say here that if the President OF
the United States should of his own
motion abandon the Philippine ISL
ands, withdraw the army and navy
therefrom and allow them to go scot
free, he would be liable and subject
to impeachment by the House of Rep
resentatives and conviction by the
Senate. And In the prosecution of this
armed force in the Philippine islands
the administration is doing nothing
more nor less than what is its bound
en- duty to do. Aye, more! the Con-
gretss of the United States, men on
both sides of this House, ! am glad to
say--men. on both sides OF this House
in the last days of the last Congress
passed bill, with a very few dissent
ing votes, authorizing the President
to raise an army of 100000 men. For
what? To be sent to the Philippine
islands to maintain our sovereignty in
the Philippine islands, to maintain it
in Puerto Rico if necessary, and to
carry out the purpose OF the govern
ment with reference to Cuba. The
Democratic side of this House bear a
part of the responsibility OF this ex-
listing army, as well as this side that
I am on. What did you expect the
President to do with these troops
when YOU voted authority to him to
raise 100, 900 of them? The war with
Spain was over; peace had been de-
clared.
The treaty had been ratified by the
Senate of the United States and, be-
lieve, by the Spanish government, al
though the interchange nad not taken
nIace between the executives of the |
two governments; yet we were abso-
lutly at peace with Spain; no war with |
Spain; no war with any country on
earth: vet our Democratic friends. in |
the closing days of the last Congress,
stood up here, with few exceptions.

BoIES CAN'T GO BRYAN.

Ex-Governor Horace Boies of Iowa
has written letter to James j. Rus
sell of New York city, in which he
says:
THE denomination of Mr.. Bryan on
the Chicago platform reaffirmed
means not only the defeat of our par
ty next fall, but it means the practical
destruction OF the party's influence in
national affairs for many years.
To my mind there is but one hope
for the future of our party-we must
cut loose from the Populists, make
our own nominations on a platform
that accords with the position of cur
party prior to 1896 on the financial
question, and place the party squarely
in antagonism with the present ad-
ministration on the live issues of the
present.
imperialism Is ghost that will
not down. 1t will haunt the Ameri-
can conscience until some party will
deal 1t death blow. want the DEM
ocratic party to bear in history the
everlasting honor that will come to
those who deal that blow
If the Kansas City convention IN
sists upon the nomination of Mr.. Bry-
an on platform pledging the party
to free coinage at the exact ratio Of
16 to 1, then a convention of the con-
sentative Democrats will undoubtedly
be held"
That Bryan will be nominated at
Kansas City is conceded and that he
will reaffirm the Chicago platform
with all its heresies is proven by the
following statements made by him in
an article entitled THE Issue in the
Presidential Campaign, in the June
number Of the North American Re-
view. The candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for president out
lines his plan of campaign, which he
indicates will be made on the issues
of bimetallism, anti-trusts and anti
imperialism-this being the order in
which he considers the questions.
THE issue presented in the cam
paign of 1900" says Mr.. Bryan, lis
the issue between plutocracy and de-
mocracy. All questions under discus
sion will, in their last analysis, dis
close conflict between the dollar and
mana conflict as old as the human
race, and one which will continue as
long as the human race endures."
That the Nebraskan has not waver-
ed in his allegiance to the cause of sill
yer is Enthusiastically shown in his re-
peated CHASING of the money question
at the head Of the list. Says he:
'The contest between monometal-
lism and bimetallism is a worldwide
contest-a contest which must go on
until silver Is once more a money
metal equal with gold, or until the
gold standard becomes universal. We
cannot afford to throw the influence Of
this nation upon the side of the gold
standard unless we are prepared to
accept universal gold recommendation
with all that that means. The in
creased production of gold during the
past few years will act as parachute
to retard the fall in prices, but there
is no assurance that it will be suf-
ficient to enable us to dispense with
silver as standard money"

MINISTER WI HAS NEWS.
Says Peace and Order Prevail In
Central China

Washington, June "a. Reassuring
advices regarding the condition of af-
fairs in Central China have come to
Minister WI, of the Chinese legation
here. The viceroy of the provinces Of
Manan and Hupe has senta cablegram
saying that peace and order prevails
In that section of the country. At the
same time some apprehension is felt
that any attempt by foreign warships
to ascend the Yang-tse-kiang river for
the protection Of foreigners in those
provinces may excite the natives and
arouse their suspicious. Such an init
nation was conveyed in the viceroy's
dispatch. Minister WI conveyed the
contents of the cablegram to Secre-
tary Hay when he called at the state
department yesterdays, The minister
is still without any advice touching af-.
fairsin Northern China, and expresses
a disinclination to discuss what may
be the condition Of affairs In Picking.

London, June "a. The silence of
Picking continues unbroken. Four
thousand men of the allied forces were
having sharp defensive fighting at

with prospect of being reinforced
Thursday. This is the situation in

ers. The English consulate at Shang-
hal is said to have received from in
