ANTI-IMPERIALISTS.


CHICAGO, Jan. e7.-The Times-Herald
tomorrow will say:
1.-The American Anti-imperialist League,
which was organized at the anti-imperialist
conference held here in September. claims
to have an effective organization in thirty
eight States, Oklahoma and the District of
Columbia. The officers of the league, while
uncommunicative as to methods, admit
that it aims to make itself felt in close
congressional districts everywhere for the
election of Congressman this year who will
be against the retention of the Philippines.
Connection with the Bryan cause is de-
MED. Bourke Cockran's recent expression
of friendliness for Bryan is taken to be
significant in this connections: also the dec
iaration of Andrew Carnegie that he will
not contribute TO the Republican campaign
fund this year but may contribute to the
Bryan fund. Both are in this organization.
The States claimed to be organized are.
Alabama. Arkansas, California, Colorado,
Connecticut. Florida, Georgia, Idaho. Ill
inois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine. Maryland,
Massachusetts,. Michigan, Minnesota, Mis-
sissippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New
Hampshire, New York, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island. South Dakota South Caro-
lima. Tennessee, Texas. Vermont. Virginia
Washington. West Virginia and Wisconsin.

MIR. COCKRAN,s PLATFORM.
He Outlines His Belief for the Guild
ance of the Democracy.

NEW YORK, jan CIV. Bourke Cock
ran. in his statement issued to-day, after
outlining the reasons which impelled him
to support the Republican party's platform
and nominees in 1896, has the following to
say about the current years issue:
THE issue in the next election would
be Imperialism or silver; it cannot be both
no matter what platform the convention
may adopt. If its candidate were elected
the currency of this country could not
be reduced TO a silver basis for at least
four years. The silver question, there
fore. will not play a decisive part in the
campaign. A question which cannot be de-
cided by the election cannot become one
Of its issues. The American people have
never waged a presidential contest upon
an abstraction. The maintenance of an i'm
perialistic policy or its abandonment is
the one question which can be decided
and decided forever-by the popular YER
dict next November. There is little doubt
that Ii will be rejected If all who condemn
IL are allowed 10 unite in opposing il. The
only chance OF Its success lies in the dan
ger that anti-imperialists may be divided
by that injection of a financial discussion
into the campaign For my part, however,
L believe this issue will be presented with
out any distracting question to eomplicate
litical system the people should be denied
the right to pass directly upon question
involving the very structure and essence
OF our government. While a desire for
Mr.. Bryans denomination appears TO be
unanimous in his party, the sentiment is
still stronger that the people of this coun-
try should have an opportunity TO vote
squarely upon policy which threatens TO
effect divorce between our flag and our
Constitution by unfurling the one over
countries where the other cannot exist
and which has already deprived us of that
unquestioned primacy among civilized
nations which we had achieved during the
first glorious century of our existence"
In regard to the platform which would
meet his approval, he said: Il would re-
affirm the Declaration of Independence and
go to the people on that alone. On such
platform the campaign of 1900 would re-
semble the campaign of 1900 in its issues
its temper and it's results. Who doubt
that Jefferson's immortal work would OBJ
tain In 1900 an Endorsement as emphatic
and as salutary its author received in
1SO0?'' t,.5 ts
Mr.. Cochran attacks the Hanna-Payne
subsidy bill, and closes: mo party ever
entered a presidential canvass with
easier road to success than that now open
to the Democracy. The only cloud its
prospects is the danger that it will
tie itself to a question dead, as practical
issue, but still sufficient to hamper it's
movements, distract its councils and para
lyZe its efficiency"

P. D. ARMOUR, JR., DEAD
son OF THE CHICAGO MULTI-MIL-
LIONAIRE PORK PACKER.
Died Suddenly of Congestion of the
Lungs at Winter Resort in
Southern California.

PASADENA, Cal, Jan. 27.-News has
been received of the sudden death of Philip
ID. Armour, jr., at Monte Cito. near Santa
Barbara. Young Armour was i'll but twen-
ty-four hours and his death was due to
congestion of the lungs. He was thirty-one
years old. He left Chicago three weeks ago
in excellent health. A special train was
engaged TO take relatives and friends from
Pasadena to Santa Barbara. On the adj
vice of his physician. p. d. Armour, ST.,
father of the young man. did not go. his
health being delicate. Mr.. Armour is
standing the shock well.
CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-The news of the
death of p. D. Armour, jr.. youngest son
of the Chicago packer, came as surprise,
as it was known that when he left for the
coast he was in the best of health. A tele-
gram from a member of the party that
accompanied young Armour from Chicago
a few weeks ago, when he went to Cali
fornia to join his father, confirmed the
information to ]. Ogden Armour. a BROTH
er. AT first ]. ogden Armour was inclined
to believe there was an error in the report
of the sudden death of his brother, as the
name signed to the telegram was not that
of a member of the family. but confirma-
tory messages came later.
Phil ID. Armour, jr., with his wife and
two children. aged seven and five, went to
California two weeks ago, the double pur
pose of their visit being apprehension for
the health of Mr.. Armours oldest child,
Philip ID. Armour. III, and desire to
be near Philip ID. Armour, ST., who had
preceded them with his wife fortnight
or more ago.
Philip d. Armour, sr., whose health is not
of the best. had taken a residence in Pasa-
dena, and his son went to Santa Barbara,
fifteen miles distant, believing the climate
there would be of benefit TO his children.
Mr. Armour. jr., leased a winter residence,
and, so far as reports go. at no time was ill
while there until the sudden malady which
ended last night in his death. Mrs. j.
Ogden Armour and her children are in
Pasadena with Mr.. and Mrs Armour, ST.
Philip ID. Armour. jr., was thirty-one
years old and was Aborn in Milwaukee,.
but when a small child came with his par
ents to Chicago He attended Phillips An
dover College and later Yale, but after
extensively in Europe. Soon after his re-
turn from Europe and when he was barely
of age, he married May, the daughter of
John T. Lester. Mr.. Armour was men,
Der of the Chicago, Calumet, Athletic and
the Wheaton Golf Clubs. He was one of
the members of Armour a. Co., the other
two members being his father and brother.
He was not an athlete, but always had
reasonably good health and his sudden
death will cause a great surprise TO all
who knew him.

second has followed in sympathy. The
firms to the contest for business are the
Carnegie Steel Company, Ltd, and Jones &
Laughlins, Ltd The products thus far
sought to be put on the market are tank

plates sold at $62.50 ton. Now they are
selling at $45, a cut of $3.50. Boiler plates
readily brought So. so, and since the decline
on tank material started 1t has reached
the fifty-two-dollar mark. 1t is possible
that il will ultimately follow closely in the
footsteps of the tank product. AS yet no
efforts have been made looking to re-

other facilities, the near future will be
