EX-GoV. BoIEs' VIEWS.
Says If Democrats Reattirm Is to 1t
Means Practical Destruction of the
Party for Years.

New York, June 4.-Ex-Gov. Horace
Boies, of Iowa, has written a letter to
James j. Russell, of this city, in which
he says:
The denomination of Mr.. Bryan on the
Chicago platform reaff1rmed means not
only the defeat of our party next fall,
but it means the practical destruction of
the party's influence in national affairs
for many years to come 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 po-
s1tton of our party prior to 1896 on the fl
nancial question, and place the party
squarely in antagOnism with the present
administration on the live issues of the
present. Imperialism is a ghost that will
not down. 1t will haunt the American
conscience until some party will deal it a
death blow. [ want the democratic party
TO bear in history the everlasting honor
that will come to those who deal that
blow. If the Kansas City convention in
slsts upon the nomination of Mr.. Bryan
on platform pledging the party to free
coinage at the exact ratio of 16 to 1, then
a convention of conservative democrats
will undoubtedly be held.

Sims of the Tonnne

1t is an invariable rule that mem
bers of the house of commons must
address their remarks to the house
through the chair, and, though in
the flow of argument an orator is
often allowed without remonstrance
to use the second person plural in
admonishing his opponents, the first
words are always addressed to the oc-
cupant of the chair. This, like many
other rules of debate, has percolated
from the house of commons down
to all our minor assemblies, and the
consequence is that few members find
any difficulty in complying with the
custom. Not infrequently, however,
ruling habits prevail, and new mem

A PENINSULA AFLoAT.
It Contains Several Virginia Towns, Which
Are in Danger of Bling Carried
Out O Sea.

Newport News, Va, June 3.-The
startling discovery has just been
made that the Virginia peninsula is
fast being undermined by the action
of the waters of Hampton Roads, and
must eventually be swept out bodily
to sea. The assertion that the lower,
or stem, end of the peninsula is moth
ing more than a huge float, which
may at any time break away from the
larger body of land to which it is
moored, is made by Civil Engineer
Guild, who is directing the work of
placing in the sewerage at Hampton.
His theory that the peninsula, includ-
ing the city of Newport News and
the towns of Williamsburg, Hampton,
Phoebus, Old Point and Fort Monroe,
is now afioat at high tide, is based up
on scientific hypothesis.
