FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 1899.

IN spite of the many thaws and hard freezes reports from all over the country are to the effect that the wheat crop still gives every promise of success. Even the weather cannot stop the flow of Republican prosperity..

IN 1897, the latest year for which statistics are complete, the revenues for the British colonies were 8~55,000,000 and the expenditures $745,000,000. At this rate it will be some time before the British empire is financially destroyed by its distant possessions.

MR. BBYAN goes to some pains to demonstrate that there are points of difference between Thomas Jefferson and Perry Belmont. If Perry were a real vicious sort of a cat he might try to show that Mr. Bryan isn't exactly a reproduction of Democracy's patron saint.

AT Nashville the other night Ool. Bryan devoted three solid hours to the exploitation of his views ou "Pending Problems." The late Henry Ward Beecher maintained that the orator who couldn't strike oil in forty minutes ought to abandon the business of boring.

TBE United States commission is preparing to issue a proclamation calling upon the fighting Filipinos to lay down their arms and co-operate in the interests of good government, but of more practical effect will doubtless be the re-enforcements of soldiers and additional supplies of smokeless powder ammunition being forwarded to the American firing line.

AGUINALDO announces that he intends to lead hiB army into Manila within twenty days if the American aoldierB don't get out. Such an attempt on the part of this bumptious fellow would quickly settle the trouble in the Philippines. If Aguinaldo does any leading toward Manila it is a foregone conclusion that he will never do anything else.

SENATOR MARION BUTLER, of North Carolina, chairman of the Populist executive committee, tells the Washington Post that Barker and Donnelly, who were nominated by a convention calling itself Populist last year as a presidential ticket for 1900, are not Populist candidates at all, and that the party has made no nominations yet. According to Butler, his committee next year will issue a call for a PopuliBt national convention, "which will assemble before either of the old party conventions, and will then nominate a presidential ticket for 1900.".

Wheat, contrary to all expectations, after selling at 70 on curb Wednesday, opened up at close of Wednesday and was dull and a shade weaker all day. The commission houses in ChicBgo are not able to say why the curb bidding has been done only it looks very much as if something tvas in the wind. Curb Thursday was a shade weaker than the close with little doing. Wheat is a puzzle to nearly everyone.

When the Athenaeum club was first founded Crolter was urgent that no man should, be admitted who had not in some way distinguished himself in literature. Soon after he proposed the Duke of Wellington,when some one said, "The duke has never written a book." "True," replied Croker, "but he is a capital hand at reviews."

SAILS IN PORTO RICO

Natives Incredulous When Told That Sealed Letters Were Held Sacred.

CAPTAIN W. H. ELLIOTT'S

Experience on an Official Tour of the IslflUAd—Natives Have Only Intrusted Unimportant Letters to the Mails.

No Dissatisfaction or Danger of Rebellion Has Been Reported.

Washington, March 23.—Acting Postmaster General Heath yesterday received a personal letter from Captain W. H. Elliott, director of posts of Porto Rico, relating experiences'on an official tour of the island which he has just completed. Director Elliott states that the people were incredulous when he told them that sealed lettsrs would be sacred in the mails, and that any one who meddled with mail in transit or in possession of the government would be severely punished. He says the Porto Ricans intrust to the mails only unimportant letters, never mailing any matter regarded as private or valuable, as the mails have frequently been rifled.

The roads in the island were dry and the trip was therefore pleasant, although in ordinary weather the roads

The municipal authorities have been compelled to carry-the mails without compensation as a sort of interexchange of governmental courtesy, an imposition required by the general laws of the

The people, says Captain Elliott, have returned to their regular avocations, and in the farming communities the crops are in fine prospect and the people expect to be prosperous. All are greatly pleased with the coming of American rule. Director Elliott states that the report of dissatisfaction or danger of rebellion among the people is untrue, and that they are entirely satisfied with American rule and regard it as a blossiug-

ALGEH OFF FOR CUBA.

Takes His Detroit Business Partner With Him—Object of the Trip. Washington, March 23. Secretary Alger and a party of friends left here last night for Savannah, Ga., on their way to Cuba. They occupied a special car on the train leaving over the Southern railjoad, which is scheduled to reach Savannah late this afternoon. ,At the latter place the party will take the transport In galls, in which the voyage to Havana will be made. The secretary's trip has two objects in view first, to familiarize himself with existing conditions in Cuba, and second, to obtain a brief respite from the routine of office duties. Whether the trip will be extended beyond Havana will depend entirely upon circumstances that may hereafter develop. Those who accompanied the secretary included the following: M. S. Smith, his business partner at Detroit A. M. Henry, his brother-in-law, and H. G. Meredith of Detroit Major George H. Hopkins, his military aide Colonel W. D. Mann and Victor L. Mason, his private secretary.

DEWEY IAY

Washington's Proposed Peace Celebration to Be National In Character. Washington, March 23.—A committee of citizens who are arranging for a peace jubilee in Washington next May called at the navy department to secure, if possible, the attendance of Admiral Dewey on that occasion. Their application was made directly to Secretary Long. They stated that' the proposed peace celebration will be exceptional, in the fact that it is to be practically national in character and that this would justify the request, that the hero of Manila bay be summoned to attend. Tbe secretary listened with interest to what the committee had to say and replied that he would confer with the president on the subject. It would bo a question, he said, simply as to whether or not the occasion would justify the admiral in leaving his duties at Manila.

False Report Kegarding Sherman. Washington, March 23.— General A. W. Greely, chief of the signal corps, lost night made public the following signed statement with reference to the report that the signal officer as Guautanaino had confirmed the report of exSecretary Sherman's death:

Office of Chief Signal Oflicer. WASHINGTON. March23.

To ttie Associated Press: Captain Leigh telegraphs me from Santiago that, the information regarding Mr. Sherman's alleged death came direct from the representative of the French Cable company at Uiiantanamo and that the responsibility of the signal corps is limited to the telegraphic transmission of the story. Yours truly, A. \V. GREELY.

SPANISH FLAG

Presented to President McKinley at Brunswick. Thomasville, Ga., March 23.—President McKinley and Vice President Hobart returned to the home of Senatoi Hanna last evening much refreshed and pleased with their trip to Jekyl island. The visit has been one of quiet enjoyment throughout. Politics cut not the slightest figure. The meeting of Speaker Reed and the president was confined to two exchanges of common courtesies in the presence of a number of other persons.

At ±srnnswicK, on the return trip, an the shipping, including three Spanish vessels, saluted the president's cutter, the Colfax. H. H. Raymond, southern manager of the Mallory line and the big steamer Rio Grande, ablaze with bunting and flags, presented to the president a good sized Spanish flag from the bark Tafalla, whish had been waved in salute as the president's boat steamed down the harbor to Jekyl last Monday. It was accompanied by the following note:

This is tho first Spanish flag which saluted President McKinley after tho conclusion of peace between tho United States and Spain and is now presented to tho president, at Brunswick, Ga., March S3, 1899, with tho compliments of Rosendo Torras, lato vice consul of Spain.

This courtesy greatly pleased Mr. McKinley. T0 FIGHT

Independent Telephone Interests Said to Be Forming a Trust. Chicago, March 23.—The Record today says: Independent telephone manufacturing interests have organized to fight the Bell Telephone company with a trust of their own. At a secret session yesterday the ways were greased for the launching of a $7,000,000 combine.

W. T. Blaine, president of the Victor Telephone Manufacturing company of this city, is in charge as promoter-in-chief. It is represented that operations are in hand or in prospect for 90 per cent of the factories producing "independent" apparatus. Details as to the plants this includes, as well as the sources from which capital for their acquisition is to come, are most zealously guarded, but the names of John J. Mitchell, president of the Illinois Trust and Savings bank William P. Williams, assistant United States treasurer, and Mr. Merigold, a New York banker, are mentioned as the financial sponsors of the deal.

DEFENDS TRUSTS

l-rofessor Ashley Thinks Their Power to Rule Prices Overestimated. London, March 23.—At a banquet of the British Economic association Sir Robert Giffen, former assistant secretary of the board, of trade, presiding, Professor Ashley delivered an interesting address on the position of trusts in the United States. I

Professor Ashley said the trusts were mainly the outcome of an attempt to get rid of the disastrous effects of cut throat competition. The public, in his opinion, had greatly exaggerated their power to rule prices. He contended that the general tendency of trusts in the United States was in fact, that to lower prices, as had been seen in the case of the Standard Oil trust. Undoubtedly the trusts gave an advantage to the capitalists, but they, also tended to secure steadiness in the rate of remuneration for labor and to promote continuity of employment and an increased stability iu industry.

Sufl'ering From Depression. .- Loudonj March 23.— The Rome correspondent of The Daily Telegraph says: "The pope is beginning to suffer from depression.

Havana, March 23.—Geiieriil Weyler's decree suspending executions upon judgments will expire with the present month, and the situation, especially regarding mortgages, is somewhat complicated. Creditors and debtors alike, in anticipation of the expiration of the decree, have been petitioning Governor General Brooke for weeks to take aotion with a view to an equitable adjustment. The form of a new decree has been carefully considered by General Brooke and his advisory cabinet, and the decree will bo issued on or before March 3i.

Generals Chaffee and Ernest yesterohose a site near Buena Vista for a barracks for the garrison of regulars. It is on a ridge overlooking the sea, and is now occupied by the One Hundred and Sixty-first Indiana volunteers. There will be 22 company buildings, with officers' quarters, to be occupied by the Seventh cavalry and Eighth infantry regiments. The work of construction will be begun next week. The plans call for running wrater and a comploto sewer system.

The military assembly, owing to the absence of a quorum, held no meeting yesterday. Saturday's meeting is likely to be tho important session of the week. The feeling is now that, as it is clearly impossible for the assembly to raise funds for the use of the army, the most logical course, all things considered, would be to disband the army and dissolve. Amotion to this effect -will undoubtedly bo made and will provoke a hot contest.

Cuban Generals Diaz, Monteagudo, Robau, Nodarse, Betancourt and Peraza held another secret meeting last night. It is supposed, that having consulted their commands, they are now prepared to take the side. of General Gomez, against the assembly.

A night school has been established, where intending Cuban voters may learn to read and write. Orders have been issued to the police to confiscate all revolvers carried by civilians, and already th,e results aro a large collection of miscellaneous arms.

The platform will also favor fvee suffrage, public schools, reform in taxation, free trade with the United States, tho establishment of a gold basis for the currency, the American system for the judioiary and will pledge the party to lend every effort towards civilization and to, teach the inhabitants to become, loyal to the United States.
