CHILLY AT RoSEMOUNT.
Cold Wave Makes Fine Horseback Rid
ine-Flood of Music.

ESOPUS, N. Y. August 23.-Former Sec
retary Of the Treasury John G. Carlisle,
who spent the night at Rosemount as the
guest Of Judge Parker returned to New
York today. Neither he nor the judge
would say anything of the purpose or re-
suits of their conference, which was almost
unbroken throughout last evening.
A cold north wind brought weather con-
ditions at Rosemount unlike anything that
has prevailed hitherto this summer, and the
day was clear and notably cool Former
Judge Frank Hulsapple and his son came
down on horseback from Hudson and Went
for a long horseback ride with Judge and
Mrs Parker.
Judge Hulsapple is an old friend of Judge
Parker, before whom he has argued many
cases. The ride planned last night by
telephone
The candidate Is now being flooded with
campaign music, and marches, waltZes,
two-steps and parodies upon familiar songs
are in almost every mail.
De Lancey Nicoll, vice chairman of the
democratic national committee. arrived to-
day with Mrs. Nicoll. They were met by
Rev Mr.. Hall and were driven to Rose
mount where they had luncheon. While
the visit was in a measure social Mr..
Nicoll and Judge Parker used their oppor-
tunity to go over the various phases of the
political situation very fully, and the situ-
alton in New York city and state, with
which Mr.. Nicoll is familiar, was discussed
to some extent. Mr.. and Mrs. Nicon will
return to New York this afternoon.

NEW CURRENCY SUBSTITUTED
The Exchange in the Philippines Ac-
complished Smoothly.

When the new currency system for the
Philippines proposed there were pre-
dictions in some quarters that the con-
servative islanders could not be readily in
duced to surrender the Mexican dollars and
the Spanish coin, with which they had been
familiar for so many years. In favor of the
bright, new Philippine peso proposed by
the commission But reports received
here show that the change has been made
smoothly and more eXpeditiously than was
ever thought possible. Col. Edwards, chief
Of the insular bureau has just received
the following letter from Henry c. 1de,
secretary of finance and justice OF the
Philippines, bearing this subject:
You will be Interested In knowing that
our new currency scheme has made great
progress since l last wrote you. Nearly all
of the business houses nave by common
consent put their business on the basis of
the new currency. In all the provinces 1t
Is found in free circulation, and the people
now object strenuously to taking any other
currency. The old currency has been very
largely brought into the insular treasury
for recoinage, or the Mexican has been eX-
ported. What little Mexican there is In the
islands Is now flowing out because 1t has
pretty good market IN emma, ana the ao-
normal prices that were paid for it for
time in the Philippine Islands have ceased
with the special demand for it, and ex-
change on Hong Kong is substantially at
par at the present time; The whoie OF the
old currency will not be eliminated until
our taxing law gets fairly to work, but for
all practical purposes the new currency
will have eliminated the old and taken Its
place by January l. 1905. 1t is small
achievement for our government to have
eliminated thirty or forty millions of de-
based currency and have substituted Tor II
a currency based upon the gold standard,
all within less than one year and SIX
months of time. ana without d tremendous

HEARST FOR GOVERNOR
Judge Parker Said to Be Not
Antagonistic.
OVERLOOKED BY BOSSES
WHAT HIS EXPLOITATION OF
TOM WATSON MEANT.
A Dilemma Presented to the Gold
Democrats Who Are Return
ing to the Fold.

1t is current political gossip in New York
that Mr.. William r. Hearst is an aspirant
for the guberna torial nomination. and that
Judge Parker is not antagonistic. The
democratic state convention will be held
about the Goth of next month, and in the
meantime Mr.. Hearst's friends are said to
be busy in his behalf
That gossip, coming so soon after Mr..
Hearst's recent exploitation Of Tom Wat
son, the populist candidate for President,
and his tacit Endorsement of Mr. Watson's 8
structures upon the democratic party, is at
tracing the attention of democrats. They
naturally ask If Mr.. Hearst was serving
notice upon the democratic management in
New York that he was a factor in demo-
cratic politics still to be reckoned with in
making up the New York slate.
Overlooked by Group Of Bosses.
Since Judge Parker's nomination Mr..
Hearst has been overlooked by the Bel
mont-Sheehan- an-McCarrenTaggart group Of
bosses. and some of his friends have re-
sented 1t. Judge Parker was not inclined
to underestimate the value Of Mr.. Hearst's
friendship and invited him to Rosemount
But the young man has not thus far ac-
cepted. He stayed at home and used his
newspaper to exploit the populist leader,
who said that he could not understand why
any man In this country wanted to vote the
democratic ticket this year.
The politicians are asking, in view of the
latest New York gossip, If Mr.. Hearst is
trying to force the New York managers to
recognize him. Mr.. David B. Hill would as
soon swallow Hearst as the Old Boy would
draught of holy water. Some Of the dem
ocrats hereabouts are laughing at the pros
pect of Hearst forcing himself down Hills
throat, after the way Hill rolled him under
foot In Albany last April.
These democrats say 1t would be the
proper play for Hearst, having his pres

the New York guberna torial nomina ton II
he can, and they think his Tom Watson
move was in that direction. He Is solid"
now with the populists, -ocialists and that
crowd, Of course.
The Next Query.
The next query would be, How about
these returning gold democrats the bank
ers, plutocrats. corporation men and that
ilk? What would they think If Hearst
should get away with the gubernatorial
nomination? That would present a fine
pair of horns of alternatives to them. They
would have come back because of Parkers
conservatism. only to be met with the most
radical extreme in the gubernatorial stu
alton.
Mr. Lamont and his Interests" would
probably have a lively nightmare at the
prospect of the Hearst radical outfit in
does not take much guesswork to figure
how the allied interests would go as be-
tween Hearst and some conservative
publican candidate for governor.
There are SO many considerations to the
questions that the proposition of Hearst

political topic for the local democrats
