Anxious That the senate should
Rartfy Ia.

WASHINGTON. Feb ss.-As there have
been many rumors about the attitude OF

ions the best that could have been OBJ

taries olney, Day and Hay, in which they

GOVERNMENT BONDS GO UP.
An Active Demand Expected when
the Pending Financial NH
Is Passed,

NEW YORK. Feb. 2s-Government
bonds went up full point today. and the
price OF 4s of 1907 and 1875. with the 5 per
cent. bonds. reached higher level than
any touched last year The demand was
ascribed TO the belief OF individuals and
corporations there will be unusual call
for the bonds when the refunding law goes
into effect and the banks are allowed TO
issue circulation up 10 par value of the
bonds.
The per cents. of 1895 reached today the
highest price In their history. the a OF
1907 the highest since 1891. when the gov
ernment was still buying bonds heavily.
Part of tho heavy borrowing from the
banks has been attributed 10 operations
with view OF this future demand. and
some OF the banks have made purchases
for the purpose.

ALTGELD SEES BUT
GLOOM AND DISASTER.
Thinks the Country Is Going Rap
idly to the Dogs, Because IL
Lacks Free silver.

DETROIT. Mich. Feb 2s.-"Ths State
of Our Country and the tendency of the
times were discussed tonight in Light
Guard armory by John p. Altgeld. ex-
governor of Illinois, before an audience
of upward of 5000 people The meeting
was held under the auspices Of the Mo-
hawk club. Mr.. Altgeld declared that
the road to independence is closed to the
young man of today. Said he:
THE men and woman who have done
the work OF America and who have made
our civilization are being forced on TO a
lower plane. They have 10 sell products
in the open. competitive markets on a
narrow gold standard basis OF prices. and
are Obliged to buy their necessaries at
arbitrary, monopolistic prices. They get
one-half what they formerly did and pay
nearly double"
He reviewed the gradual contraction OF
the currency from the close of the war
to the present, alleging that It had re-
duced the value Of the products OF labor.
He said:
I'm 1896 the Republican leaders mort
gagged the country to the trusts. These
mortgages are being foreclosed. In every
way known to man the people are being
plundered The greatest OF these mort
cages is the currency bill, which IS TO
still further narrow the volume of
money"
The speaker denounced expansion. say
ing:
BY following the advice of Washing
ton we have become the greatest power
on earth. Instead Of remaining a mighty
moral force, We are to change our char
acter and become a great bully among
the nations. We are to take part In the
miserable wars waged by despots TO
plunder weaker nations"
He repeated the story told by ex-Con-
sui Macrum as 10 the opening of his Of
fetal mail by the British censor at Dur
ban to prove his statement that the pres
ent government is unduly Influenced by
Great Britain.

BOTTOMS
FOR HAWAIIAN TRADE.
senator Perkins Secures Amendment
Extending Coastwisc Trade
Regulations There.

WASHINGTON. Feb. Ex-senator Per
kins secured the inserting OF an amend
ment In the Hawaiian bill today, providing
that the coastwise trade regulations OF
the United States shalt be extended 10 the
islands. This means that all trade be-
tween the mainland and the Islands must
be carried In American bottoms. Senator
Nelson sometime ago introduced a special
bin covering this point. but II was thought
desirable TO include this provision In tho
general bill and dispose OF all questions
relating TO Hawaii while the general sub
jec; was under consideration by the SER
ate,
Perkins also introduced bin TO refund
siTi collected by the collector of customs
Of Port Townsend, on diving suits brough;

victory for the Republican party.
Speeches filled with sound Republicanism
and breathing the patriotism of loyal citi-
zens Of the nation and Of the city were
made by Mayor Humes Thomas F. Fisk
Samuel +. Rathbun, VIII r. Humphrey,
State Senator Andrews and frank Paul.
When the speakers referred TO the splen-
did record of the Republican party in the
nation, TO the history OF events which have
transpired under the administration OF
President Mckinley. to the nations policy
in the orient, and lastly TO the splendid
record of the city administration. the au-
dieuce broke into cheers.
Mayor Humcs was given an ovation at
testing his strong hold upon the affections
of the people of the city, and which is not
confined alone to his party Candldiy and
forcibly the mayor stated his position on
all questions involved in the campaign. He
declared that the people knew from his
own lips that he would take broad course
in administering the affairs OF the city;
that he would follow tho extremists on
neither side of the questions of dealing with
the liquor traffic and with gambling: and
that ne challenged any man In the audi

then TO find one place where there had
been waste, dishonesty or failure to per-

In conclusion he invited his opponent, Mr..
