L. A. w. PRESIDENCY.
Candidates for Election at the COMING
Assembly.


The annual assembly of the League
Of American Wheelmen, which will be
held in February, promises to be one
of the most important In the history Of
the organization. Many weighty Ques-
tions will come up for discussion and
the general opinion seems to be that If
wise policy is adopted and carried
out on strictly business lines the or
saniZation will regain many of the
members lost in the last two years
through internal dissensions in the
body. The League has done much good
work in the cause OF wheelmen, and
the officials are competent and ready
to do much more. There has been much
discussion regarding the presidency
and much guesswork has been INDUCED
in. Colonel T. j. Keenan,, jr., of Pitts
burg, has filled the chair to the salts
faction of the majority during the year,
and the international arrangements
and alliances which he has formed are
bound to bring excellent results Colo
mel keenan, himself will say nothing
about his possible candidacy for re-
election. The Far West desires the Of
hcc, but it has not mentioned a name
yet which would command the support
of the delegates in the East.
Conway w. Sans, of Maryland, is a
man who has done splendid work for
the League for years, and his friends
are anxious to have him hold the reins
of government Mr. Sans himself has
ambition in that direction, but he is on
record as saying that Colonel keenan,
has done good work this year, and that

whte;metal, back tosthe,senate in time
to participate in the debate on the gold
standard bill. He will be Il valuable re-
cruit.
As expected, the senate committee on
elections decided by a majority of one
to report against the seating of Mr..
Quay; but, owing to the hearing of the
Clark case, now going on before that
committee, it may be several weeks
before the report of the committee is
submitted to the senate. Quay andThis
friends are considerably frightened, but
dsnterested observers still think that
Quay has a chance of being seated by
slim margin.

The Roberts investigation is on its
last legs. ExSecretary Carlisle has
begun his argument against Roberts
and when he closes, which he is expect
ed to do about the middle of the week,
Roberts will be allowed to supplement
the argument he has already made by
replying. After that the report will
soon follow. Roberts is doomed. He
never had chance, but If he had he
would have spoiled it himself by his
own talk.

Senator Jones, of Arkansas, is not at
all worried by the Republican anxiety
in regard to his place at the head of the
National Democratic committee. He
understands, as does everybody else in
this city, that the whole discussion was
started by the other fellows for the ex-
press purpose of creating discord in the
Democratic party and is being fostered
by rival candidates for his place.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, January 9, 1900.
Arguments in favor OF the gold stand
ard bill must be hard to get when
prominent Republicans in the senate
stand up and say that the bill is not
unfriendly to silver; that its becoming
law will not prevent a continuation OF
efforts for international bimetallism,
and that sort of rot. The object of this
sort of talk is obvious. There are Re
publican senators who will vote for this
bill who have numerous constituents
who believe in bimetallism. They are
to be bamboozled into the impression
that the gold standard bill is not an
attack on bimetallism. Another de-
fense put forth for the bill is that it is
not really new legislation, but merely a
re-afiirmation of the act of 1873. If
that be true, why pass the bill at all?
But that it isn't true, any more than
the statement about its not being
antagonistic to bimetallism is shown by
the anxiety of the money kings to get it
on the statute books. 1t requires no
gift Of inspired prophecy to say that the
United States will never again enjoy
the blessings OF the bimetallic currency,
which distributes prosperity among the
whole people more equally than any
other form OF currency, until the people
elect congress and president,
pledged to wipe the gold standard law
out OF existence, and to substitute
therefor law providing for the double

standard. 1t isIfor the people to say
how soon that shall be done.

There is something very suggestive in
the reluctance of the Republican sena-
tors to permit the adoption of resolutions
OF inquiry, addressed to the president
in referenceato affairs at Manila. The
secretary of war, backed by his friend,
General Otis, asserts.t that the war is
over and the islands are practically
longer be need Of censorship over the
official reports of our army and navy
officers there. If Admiral Dewey did
salute the Filipino flag, thereby acknowl
edging the Filipino government, the
country has a right to know it. If
Aguinaldo did ask for peace two days
after fighting began, and if General
Otis told him that the war must go on,
why should the facts be concealed? D.?
Yet the senate has recently voted down
two resolutions respectfully asking for
information on these points. Surely
the administration does not fear that
the admission of the truth would incite
those scattered bands of rebels to
reunite and fight again-especially as
they must know the facts already.
Aguinaldo, according to General Otis, is
so thoroughly whipped that no amount
of knowledge can be of any use to him.
If the president is determined to give
no information as to the true state OF
affairs in the Philippines, why not adopt
| the imperialistic remedy of dissolving
congress when it does not agree with
him and so end the matter for good and
all?
/ /
If it is true, as stated by the admins
tion organs, that the balance sheet of
the country will show surplus of
5O,OOO,OOO for the fiscal year ending
next July, it seems high time that steps
should be taken either to abolish the
irksome war revenue taxes, or else to
remove the protective duties on goods
| controlled by trusts. 1t is understood,
! however, that the administration is
opposed to either course OF action. The
only hope for the passage of the ship
subsidy bill, which lies so near to the
hearts-and pockets-of the Republican
leaders, lies in the possession of an
overfowing treasury. AS long as the
war revenue law is on the statute books,
no one is likely to make any very violent
protest against it, but if it is once re-
pealed, it would be destruction to any
party to try to re-enact it in order to
obtain millions to throw as bounties to
ship builders. So there is little chance

BISHOP GRANT.


Bishop Grant, OF the A. NJ. E. Church.
returned to his home in this city last night
from attending the North Ohio Conference
at Hamilton, o.. yesterday. and was seen
shortly after his arrival by Journal re-
porter. In the press report of the confer
ence meeting Bishop Grant was reported
to have used the following language:
Il am an American citizen; this is my
country. / am not going around to ask the
white people what they are going to do
with US. We have reached the place where
We can say we are considering whether We
will let the white man stay in this coun-
try or not
Asked If he had made such a statement
Bishop Grant said: II have read the re-
as Ii is the first time it has occurred. What
l did say was this: 1T is just as reasonable
tor the negro to discuss the propriety Of
sending the white man to Africa for the
white man TO consider sending the negro
cut of the country. The Constitution guar
anteeS TO the negro the same rights in
this country as those accorded the white
man. The way to make the white man
respect you is to respect yourself. Since
the colored people were freed they have

OF better name or more accurate term
has been called influenza. How widely
distributed how prevalent the disease
may be has not been ascertained. Only a
small per cent of the animals in a COM
munity have been attacked. but the NOR
tally among those infected has been very
high. The symptoms of the disease differ
considerably depending upon the organs
affected. whether il be the respiratory, the
digestive, the circulatory, or the nervous
systems.
The owner seldom recognizes the onset
of the disease. The first thing noticed is
that the animal refuses TO eat or drink or
that the appetite is very irregular, but

GAS WAS TURNED OFF
FIRE HOUSES OF THE CITY COLD
DURING THE DAY.
City Controller johnson Says These
Drastic Measures Were Taken
with Negotiations Pending.

Yesterday morning, about 10 o'clock an
inspector Of the Consumers Gas Trust
Company turned the gas off at all the en-
CINE houses of the fire department supplied
by that company. No explanation was
made by the inspector other than that he
was obeying orders. Fire Chief Barrett
was out of the city and Assistant Chief
Coots had to hustle to get wagons to send
to the coal yards for fuel to make the fire.
men comfortable. The action of the COM
pany was unexpected and came when there
was no fuel at any of the houses The
houses where gas was turned off are engine
houses Nos. !, 4, 5, 10, II, b. Is, Is, No. 2
truck. No. 3 chemical and No. 3 hook and
ladder.
The gas company says the department
was notified that gas would be turned of
several weeks ago. The cause was a fail
ure of the city to sign contract acceptable
TO the company. Last winter a deduction
was made from the gas company's bill for
fuel bought when gas was short. The CON-
pany objected and notified the city that it
would not furnish the engine houses or
schoolhouses gas under such conditions.
Promptly the LIST of the month, when
the contract expired, the gas was turned
off at the schoolhouses, but supply of coal
was on hand and no inconvenience was ex-
perienced.
Negotiations were opened between the
city and the company some time ago to
furnish the engine houses with gas this
winter, the company promising TO supply
fuel providing the former deduction was
made good City Controller johnson saws
these negotiations were still pending when
the gas was turned off yesterday. He said
he presumed the company had taken this
method OF letting the city know that II did
not want TO supply gas under a contract
similar TO the one enforced last winter.

Two Organizations Of Spanish War

A movement is on foot to consolidate the
two national organizations Of Spanish

known as the Spanish-American War Vet
Grams and the other simply as the Spanish

meeting of the National Association of
Spanish War Veterans was held in Wash

son A. Miles was elected to the chief Of
fee. Half Of the offices were not filed and
a committee was appointed to attend the
