In 1895, when Mr.. Mckinley was being
talked of for President, and nearly a year
before the national convention met, he said
in a public speech: IF the Republican
platform declares for free coinage / will
not be a candidate. 1 would not run on. a
free silver platform" On the other hand,
before the Kansas City convention met
Mr.. Bryan caused 1t to be made known
that If the convention did not reaffirm the
Chicago platform and 16 TO / he would not
accept the nomination. On this question
the two candidates stand exactly where
they did four years ago.

MORE EVIDENCE OFFERED
ACTING DIRECTOR FOSNE APPEARS
AGAINST MIR. RATHBONE.
Trial Expected to Begin the First

migrants Victims of Fever.

HAVANA. Aug. MARTIN C.. Fosnes.
for the first time personally to-day against
Estes G.. Rathbone, the deposed director,
n offered additional evidence In the court
of first instance. Deputy Auditor Lawshe,
who has been investigating Mr.. Rathbone's
accounts, disallows items -aggregating more
than 5000. These include unauthorized
personal expenditures and stuffed pay rolls,
contracts.
The Fiscal is ready to go to trial after
Judge Barringa makes a summary of the
charges and the time allotted to the ac-
cused to answer expires. 1t is probable
therefore that the trial will come on during
the first week in September. The question
has been raised as to whether Mr.. Rath-
bone can be legally convicted without the
presence of c. f. Nicely, the dismissed
financial agent of posts, who is also
charged with heavy defalcations. 1t is
held by some that Mr.. Rathbone's alleged
offense is quite distinct. despite the fact
that an old Spanish law requires the same
tribunal to try simultaneously persons ac-
cused of joint ~criminality.
Mr.. Rathbone, when asked by the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press to-day to
make a statement. absolutely declined to
discuss any feature of the situation.
Fifty cases of yellow fever are now I'M
der treatment in Havana and the disease
is on the increase in Pinar del Rio. These
conditions are said to be largely due to the
advent of nonimmune Spanish immigrants,
now amounting to some 10000.

MED Mrs. Mckinley for a short drive about
