Success of the“ Convention in Sos-
sion at Indianapolis.
ADOPT SOUND-MONEY, PLAN
Not to Adjourn Without Day. but Subject
to the Call of the Chili“nuns-Prepared
the Campaign for Sound
in Fight
Money.
indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 27,—The Mon—
uni-y Convention is doing its work in
.1 manner which justifies the most san-
guine expectations of its promoters.
The meetings have all been marked
by a large attendance, great enthusi-
.1511: and a resolute disposition to
(mile in support of the plan of the.
Monetaxy Commission. The features
111’ the, session yesterday “me the reso-
luiions indoxsing the Iepmt the speech.
2:11 ex- Secret_aryFalrchild upon the prin—
lziples of sound currency and brief fiv e-
minute speeches by delegates from dif-
ferent States reporting the state of
feeling at their homes, and the general
demand from the business community
that Congress take energetic action on
the currency problem.
A separate resolution which had been
carefully prepared by the authority of
the Executive Committee was adopted,
thanking all members of the Monetary
Commission by name for their report
upon the “conditions, faults and dan—
gers of the present laws, regulations
and customs governing the currency,
banking and standard of value of the
United States of America. and their
plan f01 the changes iecommended.”
A copy of these resolutions VV- ill be en—
grossed and sent to each member of
the commission.
A significant hint of the temper of
the convention was shown by the reso-
lution offered by Mr. J. Harden
Rhoades, of New York, which was
withdrawn for the moment, but was
adopted before the close of the ses-
sion. The proposition of Mr. Rhoades
was that the convention should not ad-
journ without day, but subject to the
call of the chair.
The idea of Mr. Rhoades is to serve
notice upon the country that the busi-
ness community is prepared to fight
the campaign for sound money to the
and. The refusal of Congress to take
proper action or the development of
any serious crisis may result in a. new
call by Chairman Hanna, of the Ex-
ecutive Committee, for the assembling
of the delegates, the. adoption of new
methods of conducting, the campaign
and the raising of additional funds.
Those who ‘believe that the currency
question can be ignored are not likely
to find much comfort in the spirit dis—
played in this resolution of
Rhoades.
Another incident showing the enthu-
siasm and unanimity prevailing among
the W'estern delegations was the action
of the Iowa representatives. When
they read in a silver paper that they
were against the retirement of the
greenbacks they promptly called an in-
dignation meeting at which each of the
fifteen delegations designated one of its
members to visit the local newspaper
offices and deny the truthfulness of
this representation of their position.
They informed each paper that they
were in favor of .retiring the green-
backs and indorsing the plan of the
:0mmission in its entire seepe and ’pur-
pose. Some of the delegates Were not
satisfied with this action, but ,called
another meeting late Tuesday night
and adopted formal resolutions re-
questing the Iowa representatives in
Congress to 'use their best efforts to
secure currency reform based on the
gold standard. They further expressed
themselves in favor of the general plan
of the monetary commission’s report
including the maintenance of the gold
standard, the gradual retirement of de-
mand notes of Government and the
establishment of a. sensitive system of
banking not limitd to Government
bonds. as a basis of issue. 1 These reso-
lutions were adopted unanimously and
will be transmitted to Senators Allison
and Gear and the Iowa members of the
House.
Another incident showing the appre—
3iation felt for those members of Con-
gress who are declaring themselves for
a. brave fight for currency reform was
the dispatch sent to Representative
Prince, ,of the Committee on Banking,
signed by Franklin MaeVeagh, John
M. Clark, H. H. Kohlsaat,
Field, and the thirty or forty other
members making up the delegation
from Illinois. Mr. Prince was assured
that the Illinois delegation sent “greet-
ing, congratulations and hearty in-
:lorsement of the firm stand you have
taken for the currency reform.”
Resolutions were adopted by the con-
vention, of which theehief points were:
1. To remove at once and forever all
doubt as to what the standard of value
in the United States is and is to be.
2. To establish the credit of the Unit-
ad States at the highest point among
the nations of the world.
3. To eliminate from our currency
~,ystem those features which reason and
experience show to be elements of '
weakness or danger.
'4. To provide a paper currency con-'
V'ertible into gold and equal to it in
value at all times and places. on which.
with a volume adequate to the general
and usual needs of business there shall
be combined a. quality of growth and
elasticity through it will adjust itself
automatically and promtly to all varia- ‘
tions of demand, whether sudden or
gradual, and which shall distribute it«
self throughout the country as the
wants of different sections may require.
To so utilize the existing silver
:lollars as to maintain their parity with:
gold Without imposing undue burdens
upon the Treasury.
6. To aivold any injurious contraction
3f the currency. ‘
7. To avoid the issue of interest—
')earing bonds, except in case of un—
ooked-for emergency; but to confer the
“mower to issue bonds when necessary
’or the preservation of the credit of the
flovernment.
8. To accomplish these, ends by 3.

ent confused and uncertain 'situation

.ut shock 01" violent change to a mon-

The Cubans in Washington Do Not. Be-
lieve That Blanco Has Gone to Meci

All Quiet in Havana.
Havana, Cuba, Jan. 27.-—The German
cruiser Charlotte (schoolship) hasl'jusl
arrived here, a'British war ship has
reached here from Key W'est and some
French war ships are expected hex-11
from New Orleans.
THE MISSION OF BLANCO.
Cubans Do Not Believe He Has Gone tc
Propose Terms of Pom-e.
Washington, Janu 27.—-‘~‘No, I do not
‘think he has gone on such a mission."
said Senor Quesada in charge of the
Cuban headquarters here, when his at-
tention‘was called'to a published state-
ment that captain-General Blanco's
trip to the eastern part of Cuba was
for the purpose of conferring with Gen
Gomez on terms of peace.
“His purpose in going there, I think,
is to assist in bolstering up as far as
possible the Spanish cause,” continued
Mr. Quesada.
“It has been five days since we heald
from the operations of the armies in
that section of the island. General
Pando, the Spanish commander, was
very severely wounded and may be
dead, and the Spanish army there is
in a badly demoralized condition. Blan-
co’s visit, I think, is for the purpose
of strengthening the lines and giving
the troops what encouragement he can.
Shortly after Blanco was appointed to
his present position Gen. Gomez ad-
dressed him, as he had Martinez Cam-
pos, a letter urging him for humanity’s
sake, to use his influence with Spain
to stop the bloodshed and bring the
war to an end, on the basis of indepen—
dence for Cuba. By this means Spain
would get the glory of acting as a
mother to her son and independence
would be acheived without the inter-
vention of another nation.’
Gen. Lee Reports All Quiet.
W'ashington, Jan. 27,—The latest
news received here from Havana is a
cablegram from Consul-General Lee.
He said: “Have just received a visit
from the commander of the Maine. He
had already returned official visits of
Spanish and other naval vessels. No
disordeIS of any sort. ”
The report that British and French
war ships are to join the American and
German war ships in Havana harbor is
regarded here as highly favorable: The
presence of the vessels of those nation-
alities alongside the United States war
ship will go far, it is believed, to con-
vince the people of Hayana and Mad-
rid that there is no sinister purpose in
the Maine’s arrival, while it will make
it exceedingly difficult for the Spanish
Government to find any reasonable
g1ounds for complaint against the
United States Government without lay-
ing itself open to the chai ge of discrim-
ination, since the same objection must
lie against the presence of the war
ships of any or all nations.
Secretary Long yesterday received a
telegram from Admiral Sieard saying
that the North Atlantic squadron had
gone into the inner anchorage of Dry
Tortugas. The telegram was brought
to Key West by the Fern,,which is serv-
ing as a dispatch and supply boat for
the fleet. The torpedo boats in the vi-
cinity of Key West are under Admiral
Sicard’s orders, to serve as dispatch
vessels ’and to give the vessels some
drill of repelling torpedo attacks.
This does not, however, interfere with-
the standing orders ofLieutenant-Com-
mander Kimball,- the commanding of—
ficer of*the torpedo boat flotilla, and
the little craft will later continue on
their cruise along the coast as far west
as Galveston, and then returning, to
go up the Mississippi River in the early
Spring.
Food and Quinine' for Cuba.
New York, Jan. 27.—The steamship
Orizaba, of the Ward line, which de-
parted for Havana yesterday, carried
away 400,000 pounds of provisions and
200,000 grains of quinine ,colleeted by
the Cuban Relief Committees to be dis-
tributed among the suffering people of
the island, under the direction of Con-
sul- General Lee.
A separate eonsignmnt to General Lee
consisted of eighteen tons of provis-
ions, contlibuted by the members of the
Philadelphia Grocers' and Importers’
Exchange, and six cases of quinine
from the Philadelphia Drug Exchange.
The hIaine’s Cordial Reception at Havana.
Washington, Jan. 27.—Th_e Navy De-
partment received a long dispatch from
Captain Sigsbee of the battleship Maine
yesterday afternoon. He says that
general interest was manifested in Ha-
vana. in the arrival of the Maine, but
there were no demonstrations. ' He has
been ashore several times, and official
and naval courtesies have been extend-
ed with increasing cordiality. He will
visit the Palace to-day .

SOME SEVERE CRITICISM
Alleged Questionable Appointmeiits Made
"A Letter to Theodore ltoosevelt on
the SubjectuBusiness Confused and
Changes: in the Office Recommended.
Washington, Jan. 27.——-E. D. Bailey
chief clerk of the Examiner’s .office,
Civu Service Commission. submitted
some sensational testimony at yestei-
day’s session of the Senate Civil Ser-
Vice lnv estigating Committee 11 was
<9 sequel to the changes he made Mon-
Jay of intimidation and interference by
the Commission with his testimony.
He called attention to the bitter a1-
tack made or: him then by PreSidenl
Proctor, of the Commission. In a let—
ter whigh the \Vlll‘AC-SS made public at
the instance of the committee, ad-
dressed to Theodore Roosevelt, then
New York Police Commissioner, now
Assistant Secretary of the Navy, the
Commission was severely criticised.
In an accompanying personal letter
he expressed the hope that in any rev
organization the President might deem
desirable to make, Mr. Proctor might
be retained in his pesition. This com-
munication making startling charges,
and which created a sensation, follows
in brief:
“The business of the Commission is
in the greatest confusion and is becom-
ing more and more demoralized for
want of intelligent management. Re-
quisitions remain u‘nacted on for
months, and many complaints are made
by the departments of delays and an-
noyances detrimental to the service. In
such cases temporary appointments
were authorized, and after ninety days
made permanent, although no rule ex-
ists permitting such actiops. These
requisitions probably cover several
hundred places. In one batch thirty—
two appointments in the Marine Hos-
pital service were reported for which no
authority existed, and the: only excuse
was the failure .-of the commission to
provide registers. The Navy Depart-
ment recently appointed fifteen steel in-
spectors without examination [pr certifi-
cation by the Commission, and the de—
partmentdias. requested the Commis-
sion to make the appointments regular
by issuing certifications. No action
on these has yet been taken. The en-
gineer service at large has made requi-
sitions to fill hundreds of places and no
provision has yet been made to meet
the demands. A number of appoint-
ments in the Sub—Treasury at N 1.V
York have been made since the classi—
fication without examination.
“No attempt has been made to meet
the needs of the ordnance department
and irregularities and questionable ap-
pointments have been so numerous that
the rules have almost lost their force
and the alleged law of necessity is reg-
nant and a waht of uniformity exists
in all the business of the Commission,
and the greatest uncertainty prevails.
The subordinates cannot do their work
with confidence because all precedents.
practices and principles are abandoned
and new ones substituted.
“The present condition is thoroughly
alarming. Disaster can be averted
only by immediate remedial action and
at least three changes in the office
should be made at once, not for politi-
cal leason, but in the interests ofwthe
service.
Mr. Proctor asked if Mr. Bailey had
not sent copies of this communication
to certain Senators. The witness re—
plied that hls wife was, so far as he
knew, the only other person who knew
of its existence.
President Proctor, of the Commission.
then took the stand, and sought to
show that the sweeping extension of
May 6, 1896, was not, as has been al—
legcd, “a. leap in the dark.”

It: Is the Same as the Substitute Ofl‘ered
by Senator Edmunds Twenty Years
Ago for Stanley Matthews’s Resolution
--A Vote Probable.
offered in the Senate yesterday a sub-
stitutefor the Teller- Stanley- Matthews
resolution. Senator Lodgjfiés declara-
tion is the same as the one offered by
Senator Edmunds as a. substitute for
the original Stanley Matthews resolu—
tion.
The Edmunds substitute struck out
the declaration of the Stanley Mata
thews resolution that all United States
bonds issued, or authorized to be is-
sued, under the various acts of Con-
gress, might be paid in silver dollars
at the option of the United States Gov-
ernment, and inserted the following:
“That all the bonds of the United
States issued or authorized to be is-
sued under the said acts“ of Congress
hereinbefore recited are payable,‘prin—
cipal and interest, in gold coin or its
equivalent; and that any other‘ pay-
ment without the consent of the cred-
itor would be in violation of the public
faith, and in "derogation of his rights.”
If the substitute that " Senator
Spooner, of W'isconsin, has offered.
which is in substance the financial
plank' of the St. Louis platform, is
adopted, it will not be necessary for
‘ Senator Lodge to pres's his Edmunds
substitute. But while the financial
plank of the St. Louis platform ought
to command the votes of all the regu—
lar j.epublicans, including Senator
Chandler, Senator Pritchard. and the
five W'estern Republican bimetallists
who are supporting the Stanley Mat-
thews resolution, it will not, it is fear-
ed, secure the support of the sound
be taunted afterward with. having vot-
ed for the Republican platform.
Therefore it will be defeated, and a
vote will be required on the Lodge Ed-
munds substitute.
It will not be defeated by any such
majority as was cast against it twenty
years ago, when it only got 18 votes
against 44, the majority of the Repub—
licans voting against it, headed by Sen-
ator Allison, —with Mr. Blaine absent
and paired. The vote on the Lodge-
iust about the same as on the Teller
resolution to—morrow.
It is known that Senators Gray and
Caffery; and probably Lindsay, who
are the three gold Democrats of the
Senate, will vote against the: Teller
resolution, and if Senators Gorman.
Murphy, Smith and Mitchell. of VVis—
consin, follow their inclinations and do
the same they will just balance the
seven Republicans who are expected to
vote for the resolution. This would
bring the majority for it down to three.
OPPOSITION TO GAGE.
Report That He Will Soon Be Out of the
-Cabinet.
Washington, Jan. 26,—The feeling
against Secretary Gage among the
Western Republican Senators, who are
bitterly opposed to his financial policy,
appears to be growing stronger. It
has been intensified since the President
rlamed a successor to Mr. Preston, the
Director of the Mint, and as that was
virtually a. removal, it .is freely pre-
dicted at the Capitol that not many
weeks will elapse before there is a new
Secretary. ,
The story is revived, also, that not
long ago Mr. Gage practically offered
his resignation to the President, but it
was not written out, and the matter
was then dropped.
A report is in circulation that the re-
lations between' Secretary Gage and
many of the Republican Senators have
become so strained that Mr.
has tendered his resignation and will
soon cease to be a member of the Cab-
lnet.

men were lost. ' Captain O’Brien was

uegat while a. terrific storm was rag-
