M The sharp report of ahalf dozen railroad torpe-
Jm ' does announced the departure of tho Hon. Wll-
I Hsra C. Whitney nnd his party of sound-money
advocates for the Chicago Convention as the
North Shore limited train rolled out of the
Grand Central Station at 4 :30 o'clock yesterday
I afternoon. A rather thin elderly man rushed
Into tho sUtlon waiting room In time to hear
tho torpedo fusillade. Between puffs he asked
I the gntemnn to let him Into the train. This
I liontlcman was Naval Officer C. C. Baldwin and
I one of tho delegates to the Convention from this
f "Dear, dear! tbtals toobaoY'asId he. "Isn't
I thero any way of catching that train ?"
vJ Tho gatemnn smilingly remarked that the
f train Is tho fastest through expross on the
J. road, and that the nearest Mr. Baldwin could
j come to catching It would be to take the 0
Tf o'clock train and breakfast with Mr. Whitney
on Saturday morning. Mr. Baldwin scoured a
berth on the 0 o'clock train.
The members of Mr. Whitney's party are:
Senator Gray of Delaware Senator Smith of
New Jersey, ex-Mayor Grant, District Attorney
Fellows, ex-Police Commissioner James J. Mnr
tlu. Smith M. Weed, F. II. Do Blgnon of Sa
vannah, Oo.. Thomos F. Ryan, Col. O. B. M.
IJarvey. Walter Stanton. Henry D. Mocdona,
and Mr. Whitney's private" secretary, Thomas
J. Reagan.
At Albany they were Joined by Senator David
B. Hilt, ex-Gov. William K. Russell of Massa
chusetts, ox-I.leut.-Oov. Sheehan of New York,
ami Chairman J. W. Hlnklcy of the Now York
Democratic State Committee.
Tho three prlvato cars In which the party
travel aro the stateroom rar Maumee, the
sleeper Mariposa, and the dining car Vice
roy. Soveral flags were stowed away In the
icars for use If enthusiasm should run high
enough.
All the Democrats who left for Chicago on the
North Shore limited were not gold men. The
sliver men will recelvosome notable reonforco
ments when that train gets to the Convention
city. Among Its passengers are Senator George
Graham Vest of Missouri. Sonntor John P.
Jones of Nevada, and ex-Gov. Samuel T. Hauser
of Montana, all free-coinage men. Senator Vest
was the first to show up at the station. He
greeted Senators Gray and Smith and Mr.
Whitney pleasantly, and said to an Inquiring
young newspaper man, who wanted to know If
he was one of Mr. Whitney's guests:
" No. sir, I'm going alone. But I'll be
damned If I'll be lonely when I get to Chicago."
Senator Vest's loneliness was destined to be
relieved sooner than he expected, for In a few
minutes those other free-silver advocates. Sen
ator Jones and ex-Gov. Ilnuser. arrived. The
ex-Governor surveyed the army of gold dele-
5 ales for a moment, then, turning to Senator
ones, said:
"Well, we've struck a hell of a crowd. Sen
ator." Tbls remark must not be taken as nny reflec
tion on the gentlemen referred to. for they are
all personal friends of the Governor, who tool:
occasion to tell cx-Pollce Commissioner Mar
tin that he nad a lot of 10 to 1 plunkera that
might be used if there were no chips.
S Senator Jones said he was going to Chicago
I because he had been requested by telegraph by
H Senators Teller. Dubois, and others, who bolted
the St. Louis Convention on the financial Issue,
to represent them there. He said that the en
dorsement of the Chicago ticket by the f ree
sllver Republicans " depends altogether on who
Is nominated."
Other pilgrims for Chicago who left on the
train were Shipping Commissioner Maurice .1.
1'ower and ex-Assemblyman James Oliver, who
was Sergeant-Ht-arma of the National Com
mittee four year ago.
Mr. Whitney said he had no statement to
make before leaving.
"We are going to do the best we can," said
he. "What that will amount to we do not
know."

s CntCAOO, July 2. Dr. H. S. Taylor, the Popu
list leader of Chicago and Use Illinois National
Committeeman, made the declaration yesterday
that the National Convention of his party In St.
Louis would under no consideration endorse
Bland, Boles, or any other Democrat for Presi
dent. "We will keep In the middle of the road In
naming onr candidate," he said. "Any man the
Democrats mar name who has always belonged
to that party will not be supported by as. Teller
Is the only man we will endorse. In the West
ern States there Is no Democratic party now."
Gov. Altgeld was asked yesterday what the
Populists might expect from the Convention.
He replied:
"The Democratic Convention must go ahead
I and do what It can fur the bulk of llie People's
party. There undoubtedly will be a Populist
ticket put In the field, no matter what the main
bulk of that party will do. The Convontlon
which meets next week Is a Democratic Con
vention and not any other kind of a Conven
tion. It might be possible for a large number of
tho delegate and the Democratic party to lay
aside party prejudice and call the Convention a
liver Convention, but in the Democratic! party,
as In the Republican party, there Is tho rock
ribbed element which will refuse to go outside
of the partv on any proposition.
" 1 know that our friends the Populists would
like to have the Democrats knock down party
fences, but I am afraid that cannot bo done,
nut they may rest assured that we will adopt a
free-silver plank on which thn free-silver Re
publicans and Populists can unite with the
Democrats, and we will put a man on that plank
that will go with It."
" Hut the f ree-sll ver Republicans say that tbev
cannot support a Democrat who stands on a
free-trodo plank."
" Tbore is no free trade and will be none.
Great Scottt It will take an Increase in the tariff
to meet tho national deficit. Yes, It will take
high tariff: hut tariff Is not tho Issue this year,
and any man with sense knows it."

When questioned concerning the interview

"I have had a long Interview with JIr.,Quay,"
and then Inquired after Mr. Hobar-t's health,
but did not have a conversation of un y length
before the train pulled out. Nothing was
said about silver. Mr. Hnluirt wns surprised
this morning to see he was quoted a'l to silver,

John Brlsben Walker made an address In
favor of free sliver at Cooper Union lest night.
He had an audience composed of remarkably
Intelligent looking persons, but there wero only
enough of them to fill about half the seats In
the hall. Mr. Walker said that the reason for
Ms appearing there was that the sliver side of
the present currency question could get no show
In the New York newspapers.
"I expect to suffer for this," bo said. Ills
argument was that the financial policy of the
Government waa dominated br the New York
bankers and that these men knew nothing nf
flnanoe.
" They never read up on finance," he declared,
"but they write about It and then talk about
what thoy have written." He held that the
New York bankers hod forced upon the country
a system of wildcat banks In 1817 against the
wisdom of Franklin and Jefferson, nnd that
they had upheld the old United Slates Bank
until Jackson smashed It. They lmd, he said,
caused everv panic up to 1857, anil then, after
the war, caused the later onos by forcing reduc
tions In the voluino of the currency from
$1,000,000,000 to S730.000.UOO. Tholr last mis.
take, he said, was In forcing the repeal of the
Sherman bill,
"Did this bring prosperity, as they prom
ised T" he askod.
Now, ho said, the people of tho whole country
west of the Alleghanys aro In revolt, and If the
Chicago Convention puts up an honest man on
a clearly worded platform tho ticket will sweep
tho country. "This Is not n fight for sliver."
he said, "but a fight to escape from the control
of n clique which controls the currency of the
people. At tho head of tho gold procession
marches Mr. Cleveland, closely followed by Mr.
Morgan. Mr. Gorman, Mr. Brlcc, Mr, Piatt, and
Mr. Quay, if yon lielleve that these men repre
sent the best Interests of the reople, then follow
them."
Mr. Walker had told Incidentally that the rea
son why there waa no Chairman for the meet
ing was that he hadn't been able to Induce any
ono to tnlto the place. At the end of his speech
several persona Jumped up to ask questions, but
Mr. Walker quickly retired, while a volunteer
covered his retreat by calling for three cheers
for him. The people cheered and then dispersed.

New Orleans, July S. Tho National Re
publican Stale Central Committee, representing
the sugar planters or white element of the Re
publican party, met to-day to arrange for the
Presidential campaign. It was decided to Ig
nore the old Republican element of the State,
and to so shape tho campaign as to compel the
old-timers and negroes to vote for the electors
put up by the Convention held under the
auspices of tho sugar Republicans. It was de
cided first of all to drop tho word National and
to call themselves simple Republicans In future.
A meeting to ratify tbo nomination of Mc
Klnley was called to be held on Thursday night
In New Orleana. An Executive Committee was
appointed with powers to combine with th
Populists, and a State Convention called for
Aug, 3 to choose the Republican electors.
The early dates for the ratification meeting
and Convention were fixed to forestall tbo old
Republicans headed by Capt- Wimberly of the
Republican National Committee, and to compel
them to snpport the McKlnley electors nomi
nated bv the sugar planter Republicans.
The latter are very strong, having been greatly
strengthened since by the State election. They
are claiming New Orleans by 15,000 plurality,
and South Louisiana by 40.000. They propnso
to unite with the Populists In support of a Joint
electoral ticket, and such a union can be proba
bly arranged, as the Issue Is an honest election
in spite of the differences between the two par
tics on the financial question. The Repuhltcan
and Populist members of the Legislature have
been acting together during the session and the
fusion formed between the two parties In April ;
s even stronger to-day than It was then.

Committee at Cleveland on Wednesday on
the conduct of the campaign, nnd particu
larly on tho treatment of the organizations In
tho Eastern Btates which sent Reed and Morton
delegations to St. Louis, has returned, and will
probably meet ex-Senator Piatt to-day. Mr.
Hobart, It Is said, went to Canton and Clove
land to warn Major MoKlnley and Mr. Hanna
that the unlv battln tn be fought In this cam
paign Is that for tho national ticket. Mr. Ho
bart Is Interested also In tho make-up of the
Executive Committee to be named by Mr.
Hanna, which Is to havo the acttvo direc
tion of the campaign. He Is said to
have Informed Mr. Hanna that the gold States
are not without tholr silver alloy, and that It
will not do to treat their eleotornl votes as
already cost for tho Republican candidates.
Republican candidates for Governor tn this
Stnto hnvo been plentiful enough heretofore,
but tholr numbers have Incrcasod markedly in
the past week. This Is dun perhups to the fact
that the State Committee, which will meet next
Tuesday at tho Fifth Avenue Hotel, will call
the State Convontlon, and the tight for tho nomi
nation must soon reach a point where the
favorites In the race will be declared by the po
litical bookmakers. The very latest candidates
are ox-I'otmasler Cornelius Van Cott of this
city and Congressman Frank S. Black of Troy.
Black buttons bearing the portrait of the Rens
selaer stntesmau made their appeoranco In the
city yesterday. Several of thorn were worn
In tho corridors nf the Fifth Avenuo Hotel
last night. Mr. Black is a young man. n bril
liant orator, and a solid organization man. Ho
was ono nf the travailing companions nf ex
Senator Piatt on his St. Louis trip. Speaker
Hamilton Fish nf tho Assembly was very busy
yestorday looking after his Gubernatorial boom.
There may be some serious talk about this selec
tion of a candidate for Governor at the Oriental
Hotel to-morrow. Chairman Hackett of the
State Committee, It Is said, will corns down to
night from his retreat on the St, Lawrence and
stay at Manhattan Beach until the State Com
mittee meets.
Other Republicans of note may be expected to
seek the same political Mecca during the
next two Oaj-s. The booms nf Congressman
Odell of Nowburgh, Superintendent of Pub
lic Wcrkt George W. Aldrldge, nnd ox-Collector-Francis
Hendricks must not be over
looked. All aro faithful organization men
and It ts practically conceded that the candi
date Is to bo of this class. One thing which may
militate against the choice of Mr. Hendricks Is
the Duct that Judgo Irving G. Vann, who will be
nominated for the Court of Appeals, resides In
tbxi sama city, Syracuse.
The proposed bolting movement, fathered by
John K. Mllholland and Warnor Milior. Is now
said to have died "a-comln'." Thero has been
no ready rcstwnse to tho call for a new organ
ization on the part of rural Bepubllcnns, and
some of the stand-bys of the antl-I'Iatt forces
In this city, like Cornelius N. Bliss, hnvo with
held their approval of It. Nothing discouraged,
however. Mr. Mllholland has gone right ahead.
His McKlnley League, which was merely n pro
visional affair which he proposed eventually to
transform Into n regular Republican county
organization, underwont the transformation
last night with the exception that It
i" still called the McKlnley League nf tho
City and County of New Yerk. In all other re
spects, ns permanently organized last night.it
resembles a regular county political organiza
tion. Mr. Mllholland was chosen Proldent:
Thomas F. Eagan. Rudolph Brenner, nnd Dr. K.
J. Tucker were elected Vice-Presidents: s. A.
Koenlg, A. F. Carll, nnd V. A. McElheney Sec
retaries, and William Brookfleld Treasurer.
It waa determined to appoint eub-oommittees
on orgsnlrallon, finance, speakers and halls,
naturalization, parades and entertainments,
first voters, and legislation. Just why
some of these subcommittees are to bo
named, unless the organization Is In
tended tn be permanent. Is not
apparent. For Instance, under the new law tho
Committee on Naturalization can have nothing
to do till 1807. and so with the Committee on
Legislation. It Is evident from tho char
acter of the organization that li has
other objects than the election of Mc
Klnley nnd Hobart ; In fact. that
it is the Intention of Its organizers to work hard
to supplant the present regular countv organi
zation, presided over by Edward Lauterbaeh.
Mr. Mllholland said as much In his speech ac
cepting the office uf President.

Thoy ainreh Under the Cosfederate and

to the Government The Features of the
Parnde nsd the Iseldents of the Day,
RtcmtoNp, Vo., July 2.--Tho sixth annual re
union of tho Confederate voterans ended to
day. The Convention and tho business part of
tbe reunion practically closed yesterday, but
the climax was seen to-day In the grand parade
of the veterans, sons of veterans, military from
n dozen States, and three battalions of cadets
from Virginia military schools and the High
School of Washington. It was more of a grand
assembly, in which thousands of men marohed
and countermarched, than a continuous parade.
On account of the Infirmities of the old sol
diers the line of march was mado short, about
a mile and a half. Flvo miles of troops passed
over the route, the military and cadets being
assigned to a longer march, which aided much
In preventing the congestion of the mass In the
line. The gray predominated everywhere In the
crowd nnd In tho line. Old bullet-torn flags led
more than ono division, and the flags of every
one of tho thirteen Confoderalo organizations
were carried tn the procession.
The parndo was three hours and a hnlf tn
reaching Monroe Park, where the ooremonles
Incident to the laying of tho corner stone of tho
Jefferson Davis monument took place. The
entire routo was profusely decorated, the Unltod
States flag banging ontwlned with Confederate
battle flags and Virginia banners. Not n fow of
tho camps carried tholr war banners sldo by
sldo with tho American colors and showed as
mu:h prldo tn one as tho other. Many veterans
worn their old faded gray uniforms, carefully
kept for thirty years, and marched with an em
blem of tho Union In their hands.
A veteran oceuplud tbe back scat of an elco
trio car this morning. Ho was very old and
grizzled, nnd cnrrled In his hand a small Amer
ican flag, which ha rolled up. A young man
shouted across tho car:
" That's right, old man; roll her up; we don't
want that kind bore,"
The old man answered :
" This Is now our flag as much as anybody's.
I fought against It once, and now I'll fight for
It Just as quick."
Standing, he unfurled the little flag, and,
placing It In his cup, put the capon his bead,
and ho wns loudly cheered by all on lionrd.
Gen. Gordon was chief marshal of the day,
wltn Mnyor Norman V. Randolph of this city
as chief of start and tho Virginia Military
Cadets an escort. Gov, O'Ferall, as commander
of iho Virginia troop's followed with his staff
on horseback, escorted by tho cadets of the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Mrs. Jefferson
Davis occupied a carriage, accompanied by her
daughter, Mrs. Hayes, and Gen. Peyton Wise
and J, Taylor Ellyson, President of tbo Monu
ment Association, as escorts. Carriage after
carrlago uf Southorn girls representing their
States as sponsors nnd maids nf honor followed.
Thoy received many cheers. One of theso car
riages contained Miss McAllister, a Choctaw
Indian maiden, sponsor for the Indian Terri
tory, with three Choctaw girls as maids of
honor. Their dark skins nnd comoly faces at
tracted much attention. Another striking
feature was the number of negroes In the line
who served their commands as cooks and
servants during tho war.
Carpenter's famous battalion of tho Stonewall
Brigade was represented by flvo survivors,
who inarched alone under a banner telling of
their history. Perhaps tho most Imposing
brigade In the parndo was that composed of
Georgia troops, led by Gov. Atkinson, escorted
bv the Orglethorpe Infantry. Onv. Carr lod tno
North Carolina troops. The flag of Cuba llbre
was seen twice In the procession and received
many cheers. The veterans of Washington
made a fino showing.
Tbe veteran cavalry was commanded by Gen.
Hampton. Rosser. Mnmfnrd, nnd other famous
cavalrymen rode at his side.
The corner stone of tho Jefferson Davis tomb
was laid at tho conclusion of the parade. Gen.
S. D. Lee mado the chief address.

boundary dlspnto with Great Britain, frrowlu
oat of tho rocont arrest of Mr. Harrison's at
gincerlng party by tho Yeneiuttlae troop
Tho department was Informed today that thi
arrest of the English engineers was without .
Justification. Inasmuch as thoy wero etrlctll V
within the limits of tho territory hold br Uu
British for more than ten years. This raise'
n question ns to tho nccurncy of the report
received through Venezuelan channels, whlcl
wero that tho British were trespassers 'tW
Venezuelan soil.
Advices received to-day say that the arret
'occurred at the confluence of the Acarablt,
River nt n point oast of tho Schomburgk line,
Tho English Government will probably demand
an apology nnd a money Indemnity before Ut
lncldont Is closed. Coming, as It does, nt a
tlmii when tho Urunn difficulty of a rear ago
was In a fair wny of settlement. It complicates
tho situation, and will undoubtedly delay that
harmonious adjustment of relations between
Venezuela and Great Britain which Is crin
slderod a necessary precedent of the boundary
dispute.
Tho Venezuelan Legation Is'wlthout recent
advices from Caracas, but tbo State Depart
ment hns used tho cnblos freely In communi
cating with tho United States Minister at thn
Venezuelan capital, nnd It Is not doubted thnt
the embarrassments which this country must
sutler In connection with the rnnttor haw
bcon made clear to President Crospo. Tho
Venezuelan Onvcrnment has been flatly ln-
formed thnt Great Britain will not be satis
fied with tbo payment of a small sura of money
as cnmnoiisatlon for tho arrest of Sergeant
Barnes mid soveral of his subordinates a year
ngo, which has now become a part of ths diplo
matic history of the two countries, and known
as tho "I'rtinn Incident."
President Crcspo has been Informed that
the punishment of the commander of the de
partment In which tho arrest occurred and
(ho payment of tbo indemnity must be followed
also by an apology which will go further than
nil other considerations combined. Ths Venez
uelan contention Is thnt nn apology would be
tantamount tn nn acknowledgment of Great
Britain's ownership of the territory In ques
tion, notwithstanding tt wns east of tno Scnord'
burgk lino. To this Uie British reply that if
tho Venezuelans did no' know they wero lr
thn wrong they ould bno glvon Lord Balls
bury no satisfaction whatever. In other words.
If Venezuela Is willing to punish the officer
responsible for the arrest and pay the Brit
ish Htibjects an Indemnity for tho Indignity
imposed upon them. It Is proper that thj
should rrnko a, complete reparation trhlcl
would include an apology- also, ItlsVcnes
uela's refusal to make this apology that hat
lengthened the delay In closing tho Incident.
The correspondence between tho State Ds
partment and the British Foreign Otoe vrltr
reference to a treaty of arbitration between tbf
two Governments will not be made public befort
the next fortnight. While the oorrespondenoi
is practically finished, there aro yet severs
Important letters In transit whlcb must bore

Mrnblo that all the communications bearing 01
the subject shall be mode public. Those wh.
are familiar with the correspondence nsser
that its tone Is most friendly, and that It lnd!
catcs n disposition on both sides to agree to
some Contention which will relegate Anglo
American disputes to a friendly Board of Ar
bitration. The draft of the Convention can ,b
