Gold democrats generally approve his
course but silver men feel otherwise
The Pennsylvania democratic state
convention has met and instructed for
Bryan ever since Dewey's declaration
and Byran democrats nearly every
where declare that the Dewey an
nouncement will have no effect upon
their course. Republicans will nomi-
nate Mckinley. That is a foregone
conclusion. Dewey's platform is the
flag and free trade but the admiral
really admits membership in either
party. The popular assumption, how
ever, is that he is a democrat-at least
since he married a sister of John r.
Mclean, the millionaire free silver
editor and politician of Ohio who was
recently defeated for governor there
1t has been suggested that Dewey may
be nominated by the Qopulists and
then an attempt be made to have the
democratic convention endorse him
A common belief exists that Dewey is
prompted to his course by his beauti-
full, brilliant and ambitious bride.
The announcement is the political
sensation of the hour.

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, April 2.-Advocates
and opponents of the Porto Rican
tariff government bill waged a vigor-
Gus war in the senate for more than
seven hours. The galleries were
crowded. The speeches were good and
the running debate unusually bright
and lively. During the speech of
Senator Spooner (rep., Wis., particu-
larly, the chamber seemed to scintil-
late with sparks, as he crossed argu-
mentative swords with some of the
best debaters on the. democratic side.
Senators Bate (dem.. Tenn. Cullom
(rep., Ill), Depew (rep. N. ", Spoon
er (rep., Wis.,, Perkins (rep., CALI
and Simon rep, Ore.) spoke.
Never since the close of the war OF
the rebellion said Senator Spooner,
in opening, has either the president
or congress been called upon to solve
problems equal in difficulty with those
which confront us now Does the con-
stitution follow the fiag?" he inquired.
mo, il does not. Our army entered
Cuba during the war with Spain. Our
flag is there now. But is our consti-
tuition there? Certainly not Can we
legislate for CUBA? No we cannot.
Our soldiers are there, but our consti-
tuition is not. The only law which fol-
lows the flag is the law of war. The
flag follows the constitution not the
constitution the flag" In re-
Spouse to question asked by
Senator Tillman (dem., S. c. Senator
Spooner said: The proposition that
the constitution extends of its own
force over acquired territory was in
vented in the interests of slavery"
Senator Spooner declared the pend
ing measure was the most generous
ever proposed for any territory belong
ing to the United States, and the peo-
pie OF the territory were being treated
thus differently from those territories
because they were IN dire distress.
Senator Spooner maintained that ter
ritory acquired by the United States
over which the constitution had been
extended could not be disposed OF by
congress and demanded to know how

were irrelevant.
Mr.. BOeiring (Ky.) aroused general
interest by discussing the Kentucky
situation. Holding the light of civili-
cation before the world as the United
States is doing, were We, he asked,
willing to see the torch of liberty ex-
tinguished at the birthplace of Abra-
ham Lincoln and the home of Henry
Clay? So far as the Goebel election
law of that state is concerned. he said,
the people of Kentucky would be glad
to exchange places with Porto Rico or
Hawaii. They are not asking for fed
eral interference; they simply want
fair election law. He submitted that
the clause in the constitution which
guaranteed each state a republican
form of government was a dead letter
in Kentucky In conclusion he gave
notice to the country that if it was
necessary to get rid of the Goebel law
he would ask for the passage of fed
eral election law Mr.. Wheeler (Ky.)
replied to Mr.. Boeiring in a fiery
speech. He had sincerely hoped, ne
said, that the Kentucky situation
might not be brought to the attention
of congress. He admitted the situa-
ton was humiliating to every Ken
tuckian but had hoped it would not be
ventilated here. He eulogized the
Goebel election law which had been
declared constitutional by the Highest
court of the state. To that decision
he said it was the duty of every law
abiding citizen to bow He would not
contend the dominant party had not
taken advantage of it's power in dis
tricting. 1t had done so following
the tactics of the dominant party in
most of the states. 1T will never be
repealed" said Mr.. Wheeler, referring
to the Goebel law Mr.. Wheeler said
"all the fus was being kicked up in
Kentucky by fellows who are trying to
hold office in defiance of the courts
whose mandates they refused to
obey" Mr.. Wheeler assured the
house there would be no bloodshed in
Kentucky. But" said he, 'the Goe-
bel law is there to stay 1t will remain
as permanent and enduring monu-
ment to the knightIy son of Kentucky,
who was stricken down by a concealed
cowardly assassin"

WHAT A MAN SAW IN PRETORIA

We have just received a bit of news
from Pretoria, the authenticity of
which we guarantee, and which pos
sesses a flavor of unusual interest, de-
clares the Paris Nouvelles.
After the defeat of Colenso Sir God
frey Langdon, British commissioner
in Basutoland, assembled the princi-
pal chiefs of the country and an
nounced to them that the English,
having just achieved a series of vic
tories, were on the point of making a
triumphal entry into Pretoria. The
supplemented negroes opened their
eyes in wonder Thereafter, they
said, they could refuse nothing to the
vanquishers of the beers.
President Steyn of the Orange Free
State got wind of the boast, and un-
derstanding the English intention,
found immediate means of saying to
the great chiefs of Basutoland that
If they could send some men on whom
they could rely to Pretoria their rep
resentatives would see what was really
occurring there
The natives held a council instantly
and delegated the oldest son of their
most powerful chief to go at once into
the Transvaal on the mission.
When he arrived at Pretoria he was
given place of review on the public
square, and before him, without drums
or trumpets, were marched the Eng
lish officers and soldiers, numbering
about $500 who had been made pri-
soners on recent battlefelds.
The son of the chief seemed SPELL
bound by the sight He looked at first
as if he thought he were dreaming
then little by little the humor of the
situation broke upon him, and he
roared with laughter, forgetting the
dignity of an envoy, and performing
one of the dances that are the symbol
of the highest form of pleasure among
the black men of Basutoland. The
news he carried back 10 his country
was distinctly fresh"

Washington, April 4.-Peace was re-
stored in the senate before the body
convened. During the proceedings OF
the session there was only a reminder
of the harsh language used just be-
fore the adjournment Tuesday. The
session opened with a discussion of
the status of the Quay case. in the
course of which Senator Wolcott (rep.
COLI apologized for the language he
used. disclaiming any intention OF
being offensive to anybody, least of all
to his friend Senator Lodge. The
Colorado senator made an eloquent ap-
peal for early action upon the Quay
case. He was supported by other
friends of Quay, and it was finally de.
cided to take up the case tomorrow in
accordance with the unanimous agree
ment made March 10. In accordance
also with that agreement the Spooner
bill was made unfinished business,
