Every year the apportionment is ex-

Austrian army officers are proverbially
unlucky in finances. The distressed of-
ficer, over his ears in debts and threat-
ened with disgrace, makes out a state-
ment of his case, which is laid before
the old \emperor’s kindly eye. If it is
made certain that the debts are not

unavoidable, so to speak, the emperor
directs the chief of his private cabinet
to grant relief. This custom was estab—

Presidential Candidate.
NEW YORK, March 5.-—The New York
Commercial Advertiser (Rep) has the fol-
lowing from its Washington correspondent
- this afternoon:
Mr. Whitney’s reply to those Mississippi
legislators who signed ‘a call requesting
the use of his name in connection with the
presidential nomination at Chicago does
not cover all of the ground the boomers
had in view when the movement was be-
gun. The original intention was to se-
cure a letter from Mr. Whitney going at
some length into the whole subject of the
Democracy’s present em barrassments and
suggesting in general terms a line for re-
union.
But the boomers confined themselves
too much to one question—the silver ques-
tion—and either through ignorance of
Mr. Whitney’s real attitude or through an
excess of zeal in prosecuting their Work
put him in a wrong light. They made
him appear as a friend of free coinage in
the contention as it now stands, instead
of mi advocate of bimetalllsm through the
agency of international agreement. There
was but one thing to do, therefore, and
that Mr. Whitney has done. He could not
afford to be misrepresented, even uninten-
tionally, on so important a proposition,
and so he has addressed himself in his
communication to setting himself right,
not only before his southern admirers, but
the whole country.
But, short as it is and silent as to several
leading topics, the letter is regarded as an
important one and likely to accomplish
something. For one thing, it is thought
to take Mr. Cleveland out of the Cleve-
land column, so to speak, and insure him
a hearing among certain Democrats who
ordinarily appear unwilling to heed any
financial suggestion that comes from the
east. A friendly word for bimetallism,
although coupled with the old condition
of an international agreement uttered by
a man of M; Whitney’s environment, is
welcomed by conservative Democrats.
They so express themselves. They prom-
ise to give it a wide circulation, and they
predict that it will serve to soften some of
the asperities that have sprung from a.
growing conviction in the south that gold,
and gold only, is the eastern financial
creed.
A Prominent Democrat’s Idea.
A prominent Democrat, friendly to $11-
ver, in discussing this point said:
“Mr. Whitney may prove to be a bar-
monizer. I’m sure I trust he may. This
letter, at any rate, has a. good ring. The
answer to it on the part of the extreme
men is: ‘Oh, Mr. Whitney may mean Well,
but we’ve had enough talk about an inter-
national agreomentl The trouble is that
we can’t get an international agreement.
Eastern men, Democrats and Republicans
alike, are not only opposed to free coinage
Without an international agreement, but
they are really opposed to such an agree-
ment. They throw their influence solidly
against it whenever the proposition begins
to take shape. Mr. Whitney personally
may be ever so friendly to bimetallism,
but, surrounded as he is by none but gold
monometallic influences, he is powerless
and would be powerless to help silver even
in the president’s chair. He would be
more than ever surrounded there by New
York influences, and they would shape his
policy.’
“That is not my view of the matter,”
said this Democratic leader. “I can see a
difference between Mr. Whitney and Mr.
Cleveland on this money question. Mr.
Cleveland is, in my judgment, a gold
monometallist. He is in full agreement
with Mr. Sherman. He would reduce sil~
vei' to the condition of subsidiary coin and
keep it there. But such is not the cel-
tion of Mr. Whitney. I take him is be a
bimetallist of the right stripe, and I be-
lieve he desires to promote an arrangement
by which silver may perform larger uses
in our financial system. I would vote for
him for president.”
“But he declines to allow his name to
be used,” was suggested. .
“Well, that ought to give his letter all
the more weight. I think he is sincere.
I don’t think he has any selfish Object in
view.” ,
“If he succeeds as a harmonizer, may
not the Chicago convention nominate him
anyhow?”
“Oh, no! That Would be bad policy.
If the convention should be reduced to the
necessity Of choosing between drafting a
candidate or making no nomination at all.
the latter would be the. wiser act of thé
two. A drafted candidate for the presi-
dency is the most pathetic object in the
world. Horatio Seymour was placed in
that most embarrassing attitude, and the;
Democratic campaign that year was all
but a. farce. Mr. Whitney, you may be
sure, will not permit himself to be forced
into the playing of any such role. But no
drafting will be necessary at Chicago.
There’ll be avowed candidates before the
convention, and one of them will be
taken.” ‘

A Synapslc of England’s Claim to Ten-l—
' tory' “feet of the Orinoco.
LONDON, March 5.—Thc St. James Ga-
zette this afternoon publishes a forecast
summary of the British blue book upon
to be issued. .
It is said to contain extracts from the
archives of Holland from the latter part
of the sixteenth to the second decade of the
nineteenth century and extracts from the
archives of Spain from Orellana’s ascent
of the river Amazon in 1542 and'Marti-
nez’s ascent of the Orinoco river to Diego
de Oodaz down to Venezuela’s independ-
ence in 1830.’
All the documents in this connection,
it is said, have been ransacked in order to
establish the British case.
Against the Venezuelan claim for pos-
session of the west bank'cf the Essequibo
it will be shown, it is said, that the pos~
yond doubt. .
The statement of Sir Frederick Pollock,
corpus professor‘of jurisprudence of Ox-
ford university, who has prepared the Brlt-
ish case, is described by the St. James Ga-
zette as being “remarkable for mastery of
detail and skill in collecting evidence. and
the force and clearness Of its conclusions.”
Continuing, The St. James Gazette says:
”The statement shows the Dutch orcu-
pation of the coast of Guiana up to the
mouth of the Orinoco, such possession im-
plying the right of ownership to the bin-
tcrland (back country). which right, it is
shown, the Dutch exercised in the six-
teenth century. The early Dutch maps
give the northwest boundary as starting
from Barima Point and going northwest-
Ward inland, roughly parallel to the Ori-
noco, to the confluence of the Caroni and
Orinoco. '
”According to the map which De Lisle
‘ prepared for Louis XV in 1774. the delimi-
tation of the district and the Dutch bound-
ary from Barimu Point is identical with
the present British claims. Sir Frederick
Pollock proves that the Spaniards were
never established in Guiana proper until
they oven-an a part of the British territory
to the Cuyuni in 1858.
“Previously the extreme Spanish set-
tlement was St. Theme. This is borne
out by the Dutch map of 1798, prepared
for the assistance of the statesmen who
were negotiating the cession of the Dutch
colonies in America to Great Britain.
“Sir Frederick Pollock enters into the
details to show that the ccssion was effect-
ed on this basis.
in 1776 and another in 1772
the Louis XV map of 1774.
“Sir Frederick Pollock establishes be-
yond question that Holland vigorously pro-
tested whenever thc Spaniards entered the
Cuyuni valley; that Spain had no answer
to these protests. and that anyway she
never claimed its ownership.”
DEFENDERS FOR WEYLBR.
Statements of Senator Sherman Ind‘lgnant-
ly Denied In Havana.
HAVANA, March 5. -—Friends of General
Weyler here are highly indignant at the
statements made by Senator Sherman in
the senate, and they assert that the pam-
phlet of Enrique Doderis, which Senator
Sherman cited as authority for his state-
ments, consists of 43 pages and does not
once mention the name of Weyler. It is
stated that General Weyler receives innu-
merable telegrams of sympathy apd feulty
both from Spain and Cuba and protesting
against allegations of his cruelty. The
steamer Alfonso Doce has arrived with the
battalion of Lercna, which was accorded a
splendid reception. This has served to
raise the local feeling of enthusiasm and
patriotism, and new battalions of volun-
teers and guerrillas made up of Cubans
are asking for arms.
CITY OF MEXICO, March 5.——Public sen-
timent is warmly in favor of Cuba, the
only exception being the clerical party and
its organs. The government has given
permission to Cuban residents to hold
meetings under police protection against
possible intcrruption by Spanish residents.
Central American governments are also
giving Cubans ample privileges. The de-
bates in the American congress are follow-
ed with eagerness, and public feeling over-
whelmingly supports Cuba. Americans
arriving here from Cuba predict Weyler
will have to withdraw. The hot weather
is setting in, and the yellow fever will
decimate the Spanish troops.

WASHINGTON, March 5. —In the senate
today Mr. Sherman reported back the Cu-
ban resolutions and moved that the house
amendment to the senate resolutions be
nonconcurred in and a conference commit—
tee be appointed. The motion was agreed
to, and the vice president appointed Sen-
ators Sherman, Morgan and Lodge a con-

Mr. Frye, from the committee on foreign
relations, reported a. substitute for the

Mr. Cannon (Rep, Utah) introduced a
resolution, which was agreed to, asking
the secretary of the interior for informa-
tion as to why the Uncompahgrc Indian
reservation had not been opened to settle-
ment, and when thisiwould be done.
, “,Mr. Allen (Pop, Nob.) called up his
resolution of yesterday, declaring that
United States bonds and legal tender notes
are redeemable in either gold or silver
coin. Mr. Teller (Rep, Colo.) had ex-
pressed a desire to speak upon the subject,
and, as he was absent, the resolution was
passed over.
The house bill regulating proof in pen-
sion cases was passed.
Mr. Mitchell (Rep, Or.) then presented
and had read a resolution that Henry Du
Pont of Delaware was duly elected a sena-
tor and entitled to a seat since March 4,
1895. Mr. Mitchell, as chairman of the
committee on privileges and elections,
then entered upon an explanation of the
majority report drawn by himself. He
would, he said, speak particularly during
the course of his argument on the subject
of the right of the United States senate to
inquire into the right of any person to
hold a seat in the Delaware legislature.
The membership Of the legislature num-
bered 30, and he contended that on the
ballot on which Du Pont received 15 votes
he had a majority, as the vote of Mr. Wat-
son was illega'. He read the law of suc-
cession when n governor dies or is disqual-
ified. The governor died, and Mr. Wat-
son, as speaker of the senate, was then
eligible to fill that Office and took the
oath. This occurred about one month
prior to the election of senator. .
’ His name was dropped from the rolls of
the senate, and he did not claim the right
to vote until shortly before balloting be-
gan, u hen he took the chair. Protest was
made to the vote of Mr. Watson, and Mr.
Du Pont was declared by the speaker of the
house to be elected.
In the House.
The attendance in the house today was
small. Some routine business was trans-
acted before the consideration of the legis-
lative appropriation bill was resumed.
Bills were passed as follows:
To authorize the county of Navajo, A.
T., to issue bonds for the construction of
county buildings; to authorize the con-
struction of a bridge across the Missouri
river at Chamberlain, S. D.
The unanimous report of the committee
on elections, No. 3, in the case of Moor-
man versus Lattimer, from the Third
South Carolina district, was presented.
The report was in favor of the sitting
member.
A joint resolution was adopted author-
izing the erection of a statue of Francis
E. Spinner at the treasury department.
The conference report on the army ap-
propriation bill was adopted.
The house then went into committee of
the whole and resumed the consideration
of the legislative appropriation bill. The
amendment to abolish the fee system in
cases of United States marshals and dis-
trict attorneys was the pending question.
Ari Absurd Rumor Denied.
WASHINGTON, March 5.——The state de-
partment has not been informed of whole-
sale resignations from the United States
consular service of persons of Spanish birth,
as reported by cable from Madrid. In
Spain and the Spanish colonial possessions
there are just 30 persons appointed to the
United States consular service from Spain,
most of these being of Spanish birth.
Generally they hold offices of minor im-
portance, such as vice consuls and consu-
lar agents, and the compensation of. these
officials, being made up solely of fees, is so
small that it fails to attract suitable per-
sons of American nativity or citizenship.
Hence if the United States is to have rep-
resentatives of any kind in many small
places it is under the necessity of appoint.
ing some reputable resident of the place
who is willing to assume the duties, not
for the fees so much as for the distinction
conferred by representing a powerful for-
eign government. ‘
