No advocate Of the proposition to pay bounties

trade has the impudenee to say that millions
should be paid out Of the national Treasury FOR
this purpose If ships be built in this country
as cheaply elsewhere in the world II would
be exceedingly foolish to pay bouuties even Il
ships could not be built so cheaply here but TO
pay bountes when they can be built as cheapIy
here would be simply TO enrich certain class

A hint comes from Russia in the shape
of an article in the st. Petersburg "Novoe
Vremya," that the Sultan might get out
of his scrape with the United States by
asking a friendly power to mediate with
a view to settlement after arbitration.
Possibly, in the end. such a thing, if ae-
cepted. would lead to another Delagoa
Railway award, but in the case in point
arbitration or mediation is out of the ques-
ton. The amount of Turkeys indebted
ness TO the American missionary societies
has been automatically ascertained, ac-
knowledged by Abdul Hamid, and he has
made direct and repeated promises to ray
the agreed sum. 1t only remains for him
to keep his word or take whatever may be
the consequences OF kEeaking il.

We note with interest, not unmixed with
amusement, that Administration organs
are referring to the coI~ag scramble for
franchises in Porto Ri; as something
which Governor Allen and his Executive
Council will have to face with stern and
relentless virtue In sense. this is true.
They will show the frosted front to every
proposition NOT properly endorsed in a
certain manner in Washington. and they

of the value Of thirty eentayos. The or
gans are unconsciously funny.

GIoomier for auny.-The imr

GiOomier Tor anay--The impression
has become deeply lodged in many we'll
informed minds since Senator Burrows de-
livered his speech against the admission
of Quay that the PeunsyIvanian's cause is
not as promising as it was before
the Miehigander pounded the Senate with
his heavy artillery. II is stated that
notably in the case of two Senators who
were previously inclined to the Quay side
of the contest Senator Burrows argument
has produced a very decided change OF
view. One OF these so affected is said to
be Senator Kean of New Jersey. who is
now being labored with arduously by Sena-
tor Sewell to bring him back 20 the
Quay side. The other is said to be Sena-
tor Culberson of Texas. who is quoted
as having recently declared to a friend that
Senator Burrows threw a great flood of
light on the questions involved, and that
he is very closely studying Mr.. Burrows
argument. Some Of Colonel Quay's SUD
porters in the Senate now talk with less
confidence of his triumph than they did a
few weeks ago The optimistic Mr. Pen
rose has not yet lost hope. but it is re-
ported that even be fears that the QUAY
strength has dwindled down to a danger
ously close margin-too close, indeed, to be
trified with Meantime the tide seems to
be running heavily against Quay in Penn
sylvania- During the past month he has
lost county after county that used to be
considered among his stronghoids. Ex-
perts on Pennsylvania politics declare now
that Colonel Quay is doomed to defeat at
the hands of the next Legislature at Har-
risburg II. therefore, he should be kept

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

The New York Gnme--Mr. Bryan's
supporters in Washington view with sus-
pieion the action of the New York Demo-
cratic State Committee at its meeting yes
terday in fixing the time Cor the National
Delegate Convention at so late date as
June 5. 1t is probable that this will be the
last State Convention prior to the Kansas
City Convention Usually both parties in
New York are eager to set the pace for
other States in the matter Of elecsing dele
gates to national conventions and ogtlin-
ing platforms. When, therefore, one'of the
parties varies from this rule the politicians
naturally begin to look for the controlling
motive. The fact that former Senator Hin
was an active, and perhaps dominant, fac
tor in the meeting at New York yesterday
is OF itself sufficient cause to account for
whatever mystery may enVelOp the inten-
lions Of the New Workers. Mr.. Hill always
moves in mysterious ways his wonders TO
perform. All of those associated with him
In the manipulation of the party organi-
cation at present very glibly proclaim the
belief that Bryan will be ren0minated, but
they are not willing to concede that the
Nebraskan will stand the ghost of a
show OF election unless the Kansas
City Convention makes material con-

platform to be adopted. Obviously IL is
one of the purposes of the New Workers
to instruct their delegation TO Kansas City
to Eight for a platform that viii ignore the
main issue of fours years ago. and this too.
in spite of the fact that Mr.. Bryan and all
OF his Western and Southern advisers are
pledged to the readoption OF the Chicago
platform, word for word and line for line
1t is believed that the chief purpose Of
postpon.ng 10 so unusually late a date the
Convention for the election of delegates to
Kansas City is to take advantage of what
ever weakness the Nebraskan may have
developed by June Back OF this is be-
lieved to be the original scheme OF the
Fasteners 20 stampede the Convention 10
Admiral Dewey. Substance is given to this
theory by the circumstance that the Hon.
Perry Belmont very heartily endorses the
action of the State Committee and also
that IL is conceded that he will be a dis
trict delegate to the National Convention.
II is thought the delegates at-large will be
Croker. Hill. Murphy. and Sheylin II Is
the general opinion at Washington that the
New Workers will have no more influence
at Kansas City than they had at Chicago
four years ago.

The Army REORGANIZATION Bili--It
is believed that the sensational disclosures
concerning the allowance Of extra compen-
sation to a eoterie of favorite officers sta
toned at Havana. out OF the Cuban rev.
enues. will have a damaging influence on
the army Reorganization bill so carefully
prepared and insistentIy urged by Secre-
tary Root as an Administration measure
Had not the Administration consented at
the last hour to the provision promoting
Miles to the grade OF Lieutenant General
the bill would not have ENLISTED the
strength in either the Senate or House
that Is now claimed for il. Though Adiu-
tant General Corbin has ben permitted TO
distribute the vast patronage placed at his
disposal by the amiable President and the
Indifferent Secretary 20 the best possible
advantage to himself, still il is conceded
that his unpopularity in a personal way

would have defeated his promotion TO the
! grade 70 MijOr General Close students OF
