SHELBY NO CONsPIRATOR.
Congressman Tells Why He Changed
 His Politics.

Franklin Pa, Aug. 2S.-Congress- man Joseph c. Sibley returned home to- day from his country place at Valcour N. Y, on Lake Champlain. In an in tcrview this evening he denied vigOr- ously the story contained in an inter- view with eX-Congressman Sturtevanr alleging that he (Sibley) was in con- spiracy with Matthew Stanley Quay and the Standard Oil company to elect Quay to the senate this year, Sib!ey to congress from this district and two years hence to be governor of Pennsyl- vania and in 1906 to succeed Quay as senator.
 T would say that it is pipe dream of the most lurid character" said MT. Sibley. T am in no combination to elect any individual to the governor ship or to the senate. If I know my own feelings, I have but one ambition in the world, politically, and that is to win the fight in which l am now en- gagged after which it is my intention to retire forever from the political arsna."
 Regarding his reasons for changing his political faith Congressman Sibley said:
 Tt is ridiculous to say that I changed ny politics in order to be returned to congress, for did I not have the offer of the second place on the democratic ticket with MT. Bryan, and would not my election as vice-president and pres ident of the senate be a greater honor than to be elected to a seat in the house of representatives? I tell you that the honors to be sought were on the democratic side. There was no man to contest the place with me. I had as surances that the vice presidential can diddcy was mine but l chose to cast my lot with the republican party. l saw the wisdom of the republican policy and I accepted it. Further along in the campaign I will tell the people of this district my reasons for changing my politics, and after have been heard no fair-minded man, whether he agrees with me or not, will deny that I have been honest and sincere in my change

that the democracy has surrendered it. self wholly to populism, and that it's nominee dominated with absolute i'm per!alism the convention at Kansas City. He discusses the folly and the danger to business interests and to national honor of the advocacy of the free coinage of silver. He regards inn perialism and militarism as bUgaboos that ought to deceive nobody.
 Mr. Bryan's threat to call congress in extra session, in case of his election, and to withdraw our troops from the Philippines. he views as a startling Iro- gramme of national humiliation in the eyes of the world. and as an open road to war with other powers through en- suing complications.
 MT English reviews the admins tra- tion of President Mckinley, rendering it the highest praise for redemption of pledges, for restoring and sustaining prosperity. for freeing millions of op- pressed from corrupt and UyranniCal rule and for exalted and broad-minde patriotism.
 Mir. English dWelis upon the regret with which he leaves the party to which his honored father gave his de- votion. and to which he has been bound. He declares that if he has been honoreI by the democratic party. he has il turn served that party faithfully, hay ing worked for it during years as pre- cinct chairman. couuty committeeman and state committeeman. What he does now he does from the highest motives of patriotism and honor.
 As for BrYan's peraMouu, issue. he declares that the paramount issue is Bryan himself who must b. reject. q again by the people. and 50 emphati- cally rejected that the democratic party freed of the incubus of his mis- chicVous doctrines, may again be ra- stored to the condition of a wholesoma % force in the bodyt polite instead of an avOWed enemy of honest finance, to patriotism and to the example and tra- ditiuns of Jefferson. the father of eX- pansion.
 The announcement of MT English is a serious blow to the Bryan leaders. They cannot impugn his motives. They cannot ascribe his action to disappoint- ment. Whenever Mir. English has been willing to accept any prefement from Indiana, democrats it was his. His name always commanded the acclama- tion of any democratic convention.

A WORD TO CUBANS
SenOr VarOna Talks of Their
 Relations With Us
He Says the United States Has the Right to Be Recognized As Party Concerned In the New Constitu- tion.

Havana, Aug. 2S.-The republican party in Puerto Principe asked Senor Varona eX-secretary of finance, be- fore the constitutional convention. to represent the party in the convention. Senor VarOna wrote a long letter in Ie- ply in which he refused to be a dele gate. He said that the United States saved Cuba for civilization and human ity. and this entitled them to the etern- al gratitude of Cubans.
 Furthermore, said he, international law recognizes that the United States has the right to recognition as one of the parties concerned in the cOnsti- tuition of Cuba. Those who say that the Cubans can themselves alone dis pose of their own destinies are poison CTS of the public conscience. Cubans can aspire to much, but regarding the international status of the island the most that they alone could obtain would be conditions similar to thOsa or Belgium. If Cuban legislators persist in pretending that the Washington gov ernment has nothing to say regarding Cuba's foreign relations they will find themselves against an impossible wall SenOr Verona adds that public clamOr is asking what seems to be unattain- able
 Under these circumstances he could not consent to represent Puerto Principe in the convention and even if the peo- pie of the province accepted his ideas he could do nothing in an assembly

 A. R. Encampment.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-To the strains of "The Star Spangled Banner" Yankee Doodle" and Marching Through Georz gia," mingled with Aud Lang Syne' and My Old Kentucky Home" 30 OOO Grand Army veterans marched in the heat of an August sun and received the piaudits of the tens of thousands of men. women and children who lined the streets and filled the windows along the entire route of the great parade. It is true that some of the veterans fell by the wayside, but the vast majority stood the fatigue in a manner that punctured the predictions of the wise acres that this is to be the last march of the great host. The great majority of them marched with precision. even if they were not as quick, at obeying commands as in the old days. They carried the old flag. andgsoThe of them .were burdened with muskets, knapp sacks and blankets.
 The white banner of peace and the Stars and Stripes led the column. Her aided by twelve trumpeters the column came north on Michigan avenue and entered the Court of Honor through the Naval arch. The Pageant of Patriot ism" came first and evoked roar after

The Detection of W. E. Eng
 fish of Indiana
He Believes the Only Paramount Issue of the Democratic Party Is MT. Bryan, An Apostle of Upheaval and Ruin.

Chicago, Aug. 2S-The falling away of William E. English of Indiana is the most important loss the democratic party has suffered in this campaign. It removes any hope the democracy might have reasonably entertained of carry ing Indiana William E. English is tn son of William Ii. English. who ran for vice-president on the ticket with G-r- eral Hancock The family is of the highest standing socially, politically and in business and financial circles Mir English has been democratic member of congress. and has been per haps the most popular member in h;s state of the party that he now Sormllly renOunces.
 MT. Engiish's statement is a sea hing arraignment of the principles which Bryan advocates. and an indictment of Bryan himself as an apostle of upheaN- al. disorder, unsGund currency. the sinking of national responsibility. anl as the enemy of national expansion.
 The conscience of MT. English wouli not permit him to vote for Bryan in 1896, but he held his peace at that t'me. This statement explains that he did not openly leave his party then because he chung to the hope that. within the ensuing four years, the democracy would return to it's former principles and would renew it's respect for the ad- vice and counsel of its tried and form erly trusted leaders.

 Senor Varond's letter is most f. ank, and has caused much comment. He has the good will and confidence of all the parties but has occupied a posi- rion apart. It is admitted that he is one of the most able Cubans.
 The court has absolved all the men accused of customs frauds on the ground that there was no proof of wrong appraisements, or of intent to defraud.
