NEW YORK, June 2S.-The Com

gram says:
The news of the relief of Admiral
Seymour's party caused a slight flutter
in the markets here to-day, but opera
tors were soon absorbed again in the
uncertainties of the situation and the
market relapsed into stagnation.
Americans see-sawed within narrow
limits and doings in them were mea-
ger. the bank sold e14, 900 gold in
French coin and lost $50, 900 to the
continent. A large business was done
in loans at 3a per cent. There were
no discounts to speak of, a fact which
was regarded as significant in view of
the absence of an increase in the sup
ply of other securities shown in the
bank return. Bills accordingly were
down.
ll has transpired that the recent
bazaar buying of silver vas not by the
government but by local houses on ac-
count of the Monsoon and the Chinese
difficulties, but the government buying
is expected at any time.

Senator Hears Views.

The speech Of Senator Hoar Of Mls
sachusetts, in the L S Senate last
week was an able one and has attracted
wide attention The following is an
outline Of his ideas Of a proper policy
towards the Philippines
# would declare now that we Will
not take these islands % govern them
against their will.
-. | would reject a cessi0n OF SOW
areignty which implies that sovereignty
may be bought and sold and delivered
without the consent Of the people. Spain
has no rightful sovereignty over the
Philippine Islands. She could not
rightfully sell them to US. We cannot
rightfully buy them from her
g. would require all foreign gov
ernmeuts 10 keep out Of these islands.
IL. l would offer to the people Of the
Philippines our help In maintaining or
der until they have reasonable oppOr-
tunity 10 establish a government Of
their own.
- would aid them by advice, II
they desire il, to set up q free and In
dependent government
&c | would invite oil the great pow
ers Of Europe TO unite in an agreement
that that independence shall not be in
terfered with by us, by themselves. OF
by any one Of them with the consent OF
the others.
-. | would declare that the United
States will enforce the same doctrine as
applicable to the Philippines that We
declared as 10 Mexico and Haiti and the
South American republics 1t is true
that the Monroe doctrine, a doctrine
based largely on our regard for our own
interests, is not applicable either IN
terms or In principle to a distant Ash
attic territory. But undoubtedly, having
driven out Spain, we are bound, and
have the right to seoure to the people
we have liberated an opportunity, un
d sturbed and in peace. to establish q
new government for themselves.
- l would then, In a not distant
future, leave them TO work out theil
own salvation, as every nation Oh
earth, from the beginning Of time. has
wrought out its own salvation Let
them work out their own salvation. o.
our own ancestors slowly and in long
centuries wrought out theirs as Ger
many, as Switzerland, as France, in
briefer periods, wrought out theirs; a.
Mexico and the South American repub
lies have accomplished theirs, all OF
them within q century, some Of them
within the life Of q generation. To at
tempt to confer the gift Of freedom from
without, OF to impose freedom from
without on any people, is to disregard
all the lessons Of history. II Is to at

His Letter 10 a DemocraIlv Club Read at
Celebration OF Jefferson Birthday.

Atthe dinner given by the Brooklyn
Democratic Club in New York last
week to commemorate the 10Th ami
versary Of the birth Of Thomas Jeffer-
son, the following letter from ex.Pres-
ident Cleveland was read
IL regret that | am unable to accept
your kind invitation to attend the din
ner to be given By the Brooklyn Demo-
cratic Club on the 18th instant, to COM
memorate the birth Of Thomas Jeffer-
SON.
when those who profess the Demo.
cratic faith meet TO celebrate the birth
of the man who first gave that faith a
distinct formulation their pride in the
achievements and triumphs Of the party
which he founded should not entirely
displace all thought Of its present situ'
alton and the conditions which, in the
light Of experience, appear 20 be essen
tial to its success.
Though the faults Of the party In
power are many. and though it's offences
against the political health and safety
of tie country are fragrant, these things
should not encourage US TO base an ex'
pectatlon Of success and hope for the
restoration Of wholesome administration
upon the shortcomings Of our adver'
ssries We should too well understand
their ability to attach to their fortunes
the powerful contingent Of selfish inter-
ests TO place confident reliance on the
weakness which ought to be the penalty
OF their misdeeds.
"Besides, none Of US can close our
eyes to the fact that the Democratic
party is only formidable in Its own
strength. Its power to win victories
has always been found to depend upon
a sturdy and consistent adherence TO its
time. .honored principles, which have
proved sufficient to meet every emer'
Qency of our national life. Whatever
successes may have attended party Oh
opportunity with sails spread for every
transient breeze Of popular sentiment
or excitement, experience has abundant
ly demonstrated that Democracy is so
constituted that it is only strong when
courageous in the right and only VIC
torious when its forces are marshaled
under its old and well.recognized
standards.
"Our principles are so simple, and
they accord so we'll with the honest
American disposition which loves free.
dom and cares for the public welfare,
that they are easily understood by the
Democratic masses. AS a result OF this
there he's never been time when false
leadership Of our party and a departure
from simple Democratic faith have not
been quickly discovered and ruthlessly
rebuked by listless support, pronounced
detection and bitter defeat. These.con-
SEQUENCES have thus far been so ineyi'
table that the lessons they teach cannot
be disregarded without inviting ca
lamity.
"The healthfulness Of our party may
we'll be questioned when 1t shrinks
from such an examination Of Its position
az will enable IL TO avoid disaster by
keeping In q course Of safety, under the
guidance Of true Democracy.
Therefore. those who claim to be

to discharge a solemn duty If, in this
time Of doubt and temptation, they
eglect such an examination, and II

Mr.. wise's Letter on the Republican
Party Of Virginia.


The following is a copy Of the much
talked of letter of Hon. John S. Wise.
of New York, on the Virginia Republi
cans, published last week in the n. Y.
Sun:
"You announce that the Republicans
of Virginia are harmonious or, long
estranged, are getting together. The
Republican party of Virginia has never
been as much torn by faction or as
weak and leader less as IL is to-day since
have known it. II tcannot poll within
40, 900 votes of its strength In 1896, and
the only reason the convention held at
Norfolk was not marked by contest, FAC
tlonal recriminations and personal con-
troversies, is that the most respectable
element Of Republica-i ism has despaired
of doing anything, and left the empty
shell Of organization to a gang OF scala
wag ofIice.holders and oflice-seekers,
who are running the thing for their
own profit, and neither hope nor expect
nor desire q victory The silence from
which you take hope is the silence OF
death ~
