rv Very Rn\ Montgomery Schuyler. ‘ His death wK^soexpecled to all the ‘family, for, although his ^ickness was bronchial pneumonia, he was natural* ly so robust that it was thought he would overcome the attack. y A week ago last Sunday, he read the Gospels for the morning to his con* grcgation at Christ Church cathedral. This last effort fatigued him unusual* ly. and on Monday he took to his bed, gradually growing weaker and more frail, and for the last 4t5 hours of his illness his children and his wife had remained by his bedside night and day. . On Wednesday evening he rested somewhat easier. No one thought that the end was near, and at three o'clock Thursday morning all the family, retired for a little rest except one son, hr.

GEN. BOOTH'S LATEST MOVC. Cal. Gkdto, of MraUoa Army Headquart•ra. Ordered te Take lee re ef America end Betsra to London—A Preliminary1 Move Looking to an Effort at BeconeUlotion with Ballington Booth. New York, March £3.—The first step in a plan to effect a reconciliation be* tween Ballington Booth and the lead* era of the Salvation array has been taken by Gen. William Booth, who has ordered CoL Eadie to take his fare* well and return to London. In obedience to the general's orders, CoL Eadie yesterday began his ‘'farewell” services. Be spoke in the afternoon in'the Bowery barracks, and in the evening in Memorial hall, at the national headquarters, but at neither meeting did he refer to his recall. He seemed surprised when questioned about the general's message, but while he would not affirm the re* i port that he had received it, he would i not deny it. That an attempt will j be made by Commander and Mrs. I Booth-Tucker upon their arrival ! here to induce Commander and Mrs. j Rpllington Booth * to abandon i their new organization and return to the Salvation army is quite certain, . and as the retention hereof Col. Eadie j would make such a .reconciliation 1 impossible, it is believed that his recall | was decided upon to open the way to j | amicable negotiations. It is thought j a temporary post, in another field, | I perhaps Canada, may be tendered to I Ballington Booth, with a promise to j ! place him again in charge of the army | j in the United States in a year or two; ' | but his friends say he will not be I j tempted by such an arrangement. ; > Commander Ballington Booth said ' last night, after a meeting of the Vol- j uuteers at Cooper Union, that he heard j that Col. Wm. Eadie of Salvation army j , headquarters had received orders to return to England. The commander said that he had received no proposition as to again taking command of the American army, but that his place now is with the Volunteers and to stand by them. A POSITIVE DENIAL (it a Report sent Oat In Regard to tho Venezuela l»nimU«iou. Washington, March 21. —Secretary j Mallott-Prevost, for the Venezuelan * tcommission, has issued the following ; Statement: "During the past week reports have been industriously circulated, to the effect that the commission has reached a decision with reference to the boundary dispute favorable to Venezuela. This is untrue. The report has been circulated in another form and it is now asserted that while the commission, as a body, has reached no su'ch conclusion, the commissioners individually entertain the views inferred to. It must In* evident to all that so long as anything remains to be examined and considered the commissioners are not in a . position $o form an opinion respecting the merits of the controversy." SENATOR MORGAN Introduces a Joint Cuban Belligerency Resolution. Washington, March 22.—Just before the senate adjourned Friday Senator Morgan, who reported the Cuban resolutions originallv and has from the start taken a prominent part in the senate debate favorable to the recognition of the Cabans, introduced the following joint resolution: Hy the senate and house oif representatives of the United States l(i congress assembled that It Is hereby declared that a state of public war exists in the island of Cuba between the government of Spain and the people of that island who are supporting a separate eotermueat under the name of the Republic of Cuba, and the sfate of belligerency bet wee c said governments is hereby recognizee." The significance of the resolution is that it is a joint, resolution instead of concurrent, and that it is confined to a bare recognition of beligerency upon the basis of the declaration that a state ; of w ar exists in Cuba.

ANOTHER VICTIM Of Overwork In the Naval Engineer De* I part menu Washington.

LOVE LETTERS F ROM M’KINLEY. Thousand* «t Tkmlihid Their War *»<• ladlaaa. * do not krtr.T whether Maj. McKinley, In working up sentiment for his presidential aspirations, has a young woman or not to whom he dictates those pleasant typewritten letters that have reached every voting precinct in this stale, but I do know that they have much to do in strengthening the original McKinleyite and winning over the wavering. Without the typewriter he could not have reached one-half the Indian Laos he is now rallying under his banner in response to the clicking of the little instrument in. his law office or library at Canton. Ou an average 50 republicans to a county have complimentary letters from the adroit little Napoleon. One would suppose that the distinguished gentleman in Canton had a powerful memory for persons and localities, for there is never the mistake of a letter in name or post .office of the one addressed. Up in Clinton county the other day n visiting politician from the capital was taken aside by a resident politician of Frankfort with a mysterious wink and nod of the head. "Look at that,” said | the verdant politician, unfolding a let- j ter bearing the McKinley office head and the McKinley signature, with a dozen or fifteen lines of typewritten copy betw een. “Oh,” remarked the visiting politi-1 'ckin, who is -an Allison-Harrison or a Harrison-Allison man, just as events at St. LouiB may dictate, “that^is from McKinley, ie it? Well, your letter is i only one of the many thousand the major has sent into Indiana.” "That don’t make any difference,” the resident politician replied. “He may send 100,000 if he wants to do so. The letter shows that some time or other he has heard of me, and now, when he wants help, he remembers me. I’m for McKinley from this time on.” The major varies his compliments in these missives of {rood will to the im- I portance of the one addressed. If the I latter has a pull only in his precinct j the major tickles biis vanity with a few pleasant words, closing with the hop? that he can find it consistent with his views to give him his personal support. If the one the Little Napoleon wishes to come over to his side is of mysterious greatness he phrases his communication with the suggestion that he (Maj. McKinley) can’t go much further in | this campaign unless his particular In- | diana friend, whom he takes the liberty j to address in bps interest, visits Canton and the McKinley home at his earliest convenience. One of these letters reached a prominent Harison man the other day. It added an inch to his stature and two to his stomach circumference. He had a secret that was burning a hole in his heart. He could keep it no'longer, and. singling out a victim whom he knew would be moved by consuming envy, took him out of a group in a hotel lobby and in one of the out-of-the-way corners whispered: “Have you heard from the major?” “Major who?" “Why, Maj. McKinley, of course. Hasn’t he written to you?” "No, and I don’t care a rap if he doesn’t,” "He has to“ me. Look at that, will you?” , • And the victim of envy read the Ohio man’s compliments without comment, and, passing the letter back to the proud Indianian, moved off into the crowd to say a good word for any candidate but McKinley. , All these letters are the sequence of a request the Canton candidate made of Chairman Gowdy some weeks ago. It read like this: "Mr Dear Cavt. Gowdt: Will you kindly send me the names of £5 or 50 republicans in each county of Indiana who will likely support me. Yours respectfully, “William McKinley.” That is the secret of the major’s remembrance of so many ardent friends. —Cincinnati Enquirer. ,

Morton has-fturly begun to sign checks is unseetaily anc^. unbusinesslike.—Louisville Courier-Journal. -McKinley’s platform straddles •verything but the tariff, and, on that question he is fiatfooted for plunder of the people for the protection of monopoly.—Wheeling Register. --It may be that the democratic party is not yet through with trouble over the silver question, but the republican party’s troubles on that score have hardly begun.—Albany Argus. -The republican party is a^qoeer trinity just at present. One part wants' free silver,, and free trade; another protection and free silver, and a third sound money and protection. A rather refractory three-horse hitch. — Boston Herald (Ind.). -The McKinley platform is already doing its deadly work. The New York Tribune swears roundly that it means the gold standard, while Editor Godkin’s British organ rips ont an oath that It smaiis the silver standard. So tberarou

READY TO STRADDLE. McKinley'* Attitude on t)M Currency Inne When Got. Foraker spoke to the Ohio republican convention on taking th i chair it was noticeable that he said nothing about Maj. McKinley’s viewi an to silver. On the contrary, he 6&it l everybody knew that the s upreme issu j it whether this country i|s to be ruled by democracy or republicanism. Thi l is no issue at all until it is determine 1 what democracy and Hepublicanisri are to stand for this yeiw. Gov. For • aker said further that republicans ha 1 no differences of opinion upon nations 1 questions or policies, though he knerr the most important measures befor s congress frfive been kil led by repul - lican votes, and that the leading repul rlican papef~qf Ohio had called in vaia on McKinley, Beed, Allison. Morton an J others to define their position on the currency question. All thiB indicated a disposition to straddle the most important issue of the day. This promise is in the mai a borne out by the money plank of ti e platform. It reads as follows: “We contend for hofteilit money; for a currency of gold, silver land paper wit h which to measure our exchange that shall be as sound as the government ai d as untarnished as its hohor; and to that end we fhvor bimetalftsm, and denial d the use of both gold and silver as stands -d money, either in accordance with a ratio :o be fixed by internationj&l agreement, if that u.n be obtained, or under such restrictions and such provisions to be d etermined by legislation as will secure trie maintenance of the parities of values if the two metals, so that the purchasing ai d debt-paying power of thel dollar shall be it all times equal." This plank is said tcf have been written by McKinley himsjelf. It eontaii is some of the language of the Minneapoi is platform of 1892, and something that was not in that platfonjn. It is render* d more incoherent and! fcrasive by tie matter added. The rhetorical flouris h that the money of gold!, silver and papf-r “shall be as sound as the government and untarnished as>its hoeor” is nut very impressive when ive recollectwhr .t bad money republicans have thrust upon us in times past, and reflect that they might get into power again, t the resolution is properly transmitted it declares for “a currency of gold, sliver and paper with \i hich to measure our exchange,” which| is not material y different from arrant! nonsense, but is eminently McKinleye^que. The resolution adopted at Minneap olis in 1S92 was written in part by Jones, of Nevada, and contains the juggling word “bimetallism,” to which silverites give a meaning altogether different from that which was given it by its inventors and by sdund-money men generally. Still, it might have answer 'd well enough but for the fact that the silver men have interpreted it as meaning free coinage, and have declared th at hereafter they will insist upon adefinite expression for or against the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of sixteen to one. The silverites say properly that this is the real issue before the country, and they ask for r. deliverance on this point. Instead of making it clearer t;ban that of 1S9-, Maj. McKinley has made it vaguer, more rhetorical, more unlike the utterance of a real advocate of hejmest money. * McKinley is a straddle himself, lie has been on every side of the silver question except that of an unbending and uncompromising foe of the degradation of our currency. He cannot be trusted to veto a six teen-to-one freecoinage bill, and such a man is unfit for} the presidency. To this personal straddle he has now addetjl a platform straddle. Maj. McKinley m the expectancy and rose of the straddlers nnd the trimmers who call themselves bimetallists without defining what they mean by the term.—Louisvillt Courier-Journal

What Hay* Mr,. McKinley? Senator Ghandlerjs utterances respecting' the campaign methods being used on behalf of l\|r. McKinley conic with peculiar force). The blow thus struck at the Ohio man’s candidacy is aimed, not by a democrat., but by a republican, and it is struck straight from the shoulder. Without attempting to extenuate the abuses which are charged up against him, it is alleged by Senator Chandlejr that Mr. McKin- | ley's supporters are carry hag on their campaign bv “begging money from | die manufacturers of the west and the east and everywhere else, to be expend- . ed in manipulating (state conventions." If Mr. McKinley’s advisers are wise j they will counsel (him not to underestimate the gravity and weight of these charges. Ilatji they come frciii a democratic soured jit would have been : different. The people might have set them down as thejemanation of ]>artisan hatred. But they come ifrorn a j republican of long standing and high political josition. They arc spokety : with the force of ebnviction and without qualification. Mr. McKinley has nothing to do, if lie would save himself from the effects of a serious blow, but to come out with a fair statement defining just what basis of truth there j is in Senator Chandler’s charges, and furnishing cogent proofs to bock up • his denial.—Chicago Record (Ind.), Th* Reciprocity Incident. Senator Cullom, in his letter against | McKinley, recalls an episode in the j framing of the tariff bill bearing the : latter’s name which many republic- j a ns appear to have forgotten. Uis supporters couple his name with the so-called policy of reciprocity. ‘‘But," j as Senator Cullom says, “the truth is that McKinley fought reciprocity with j all the force he had until forced to j surrender.” The surrender was occasioned by Secretary Blaine's dra- | mstic smashing of his hat on the table of the committo-room, emphasizing his declaration that the Men j Kinley bill as framed “would not make a market for another bushel of j American grain or another pound of American meat.” In his extreme and narrow protectionism McKinley was opposed to foreign trade, but the stronger will of Blaine forced him to accept the reciprocity provision.—$(• Y, World.
