Mr.. De Leor's Story.

Mr.. Perry VI. De Leon, whose official
existence as consul general at Guayaquil
Ecuador. has just been terminated, is a
guest of the Riggs House. Until his re-
cent arrival here. Mr.. De Leon did not
know that he would be separated from
his office. He was aware, unofficially.
that he was not exactly persona grata
with the Ecuadorean government. but the
abrupt ending of his career in that coun-
try came as surprise.
Il do not wish to talk about the affair
from a personal standpoint" said Mr.. De
Leon to a Times reporter. II do not
mind saying, however, that the whole
trouble arose through my intervention in
the Bolan ease. Bolan, who is a citizen
OF Ohio will be here next Monday. and
can tell his own story. II ever an Amer
lean was the victim OF outrageous treat
mcnt this man was. He was a foreman
for the Mcdonald Company, an American
firm engaged in building a railway down
there. In the absence of his principal he
was arrested for an alleged debt, claimed
to be due to a native who furnished lot
OF yeon laborers.
"Bolan had no more to DO with the
financial affairs of the company than
had. and the official who committed him
to Jail had no jurisdiction, according to
the laws OF Ecuador. He was twice i'm
prisoned and finally had to decamp to
Peru. 1t was nothing more than an eff
fort at hlackmail, as can be fully SUBJ
stantiated
still more outrageous was the treat
ment Of Leonard De Selser. also United
States citizen. Seller. in an ARRAY where
he was nearly cut to pieces by natives.
in self-defense slew one. He never had
an examination or preliminary trial, nor
any chance of habeas corpus or bail. For
ten long months he was incarcerated in a
dungeon too vile and loathsome for words
to depict. He was n hale, robust man
when he entered prison. Yesterday one OF
the first physicians in Washington de-
clared him consumptive and physical

Mr.. Rhea to Return to Congress.

THE Republicans of our State will have

Lewis, editor OF the shelby (Ky.) Senti-
neil" at the Riggs House.
They have two now. but in November
We expect to elect the member from the
Louisville district. Among the Represen-
tatives to be sent next time will be Hon.
John Rhea. who was, as many think. I'M
justly turned out of this Congress. Mr..
Rhoa will be returned by a majority so
big that there will not be a chance for

Mr.. Mudd's Admirers.

| Whatever may be the estimate placed
upon Congressman Mudd's worth as a
Representative elsewhere, 1t is very clear
that among his own constituents he is
held in unbounded esteem, and has. SO to
speak, a "cinch" upon his district Of such
character as would seem to indicate
that he is likely to long remain a men,
Der of the House.
The resolution reported by the commit
tee on resolutions at the convention
which renominated him at Chesapeake
Beach, Thursday, and the only resolution
reported. was unique and unusual in the
latitude of action conferred upon Mr..
Mudd in case of his election. The resolu-
ton read:
Resolved, That we cordially and un-
qualfedly indorse the record Of the Hon.
Sydney f. Mudd as our Representative in
Congress, and his every act and utter
ance as such, and VIC commend to him
the exercise of his independent judgment
and discretion. in which we desire here
and now to express our utmost confidence
and approval in advance, as TO the means
and methods by which he shall best pro-
mote the interests of his constituency in
the Congress Of the United States.
II Mr. Mudd is not invited by this TO 90
what he pleases in Congress, so far as
his constituents have a right to recon-
mend action to him. il would be hard TO
find language more directly calculated TO
convey that intention.
The resolution is not one of those, 1t
may be said. that are sometimes acted
upon in the hurry of proceedings in con-
ventions without deliberation. 1t was re-
ferred to a committee having representa-
tiyes from every county and ward and
mart of ward in Baltimore city IN his
district. and was the only subject matter
before them for consideration.

A Reverie.
BY LINDSEY FLAvEL MINES.

Do you recall
The night we dined together fair7
How should you, since you were not there
Alone l sat, and in your place
Was nothing but a vacant chair;
Alone l ate the dainty fare:
Yet when the dishes all were gone
| lit a weed, Havana grown,
And in the fragrant, smoky air
That rose. I'm willing to declare
| saw the image of your face,
Sweet-smiling there, and full of grace.
Yea, ] recall
The music soft, the lights turned low,
The busy walters to and fro
In silence passing through the place;
The Margeaux, with its rosy glow.
And all the other things, you know,
That go to make feast complete,
And add a zest to drink and meat:
But better far, that these, trow,
Was when the smoke clouds gan to grow
And l the image of your face
Saw smiling there, and full Of grace.

creased the volume of metallic cur
rency.
Hence the question of bimetallism
is no longer a pressing issue, and will
not be an issue of the Democrats in
1904, without the volume of business
increases. which will necesitate a cor
responding increase in the volume of
metallic money. Whether this in
crease will consist of gold or silver
will depend on the amount of gold in
sight.
The position taken by the Demo-
Gratis in both the 1896 and the 1900
campaigns was based on the princi-
pies of political economy. The in
crease in the volume of gold, how
ever. has eliminated any pressing
need of the unlimited coinage of sill
yer, so that it need no longer be an
issue of the Democracy.

More of the Beef Trust.

Il heard the other side of the beef trust
story, when out IN Ohio last week" said
Mr.. T. B. Winston. of New York. at the
Raleigh.
"out there lots of people are engaged
in raising beef steers. and they arc highly
satisfied with the way prices have been
advancing Of late. A man whose live stock
enhances in value isn't worrying over the
reasons for the increase. He accepts it
as fact
An over the Western country there is
an impression that the Eastern people have
no right TO murmur when beef and other
meat products go soaring. The honest
farmer is opposed TO trusts. as theOreti-
cal proposition, but il his cattle are made
more valuable by the operation OF the
beef trust. why. that is altogether diff
ferent thing. In such a case the Presi-
dent and the Attorney General get no
thanks for their efforts to enforce the
Sherman act"

1.-THE great trouble in Hawaii" said
former Attorney General Smith. of Homo
lulu at the Shoreham, lis to get labor
from other than Asiastic countries.
There is possibility that negroes
from the States might answer very we'll
in the sugar plantations of Hawaii. but
great care would have to be used in
lecting from the most reliable and In
dustrious of the race. The small number
of blacks that were brought over were
not OF the kind that our planters
wanted. -,
THE most serious condition that mill
tates against the importation OF coiored
laborers is the long and expensive
journey"

way of legislation for his district.

Thursday and introduced to the President

handshake, the President put exceptional
emphasis in his resporHe:
