Topeka, Kan., July Congress man Charles Curtis returned from Washington to-day and will remain in the state during the campaign. In an interTiew he practically repu diated the St. Louis platform. He said he was surprised when he learn ed that the national convention had promised to maintain the gold stand ard until there should bo an interna tional agreement. "I believe," he said, 'that it would havo been better to have de clared for free and unlimited coinage at least until such time." Continu ing, he said, "I have not changed my position on the money question. On March 9, the republicans of the 4th Kansas district honored me with a third nomination at which time the convention declared in fav or of bimetalism. I explained my position to the people of the 4th in 1890. '92, '94 and '93 and have do reason to change. They know where I stand and I look to thp re publicans of this district for my in structions. Personally, I believa in honest bimetallism. In other words I am for a bimetallism that will guarantee the permanent use of both gold and silver and am against monometalism cf either metal, because I believe monometalism will decrease our circulation. For one, I shall adhere to the cause of bimetallism as enun ciated by the Republican party in the Stanley Matthews concurrent resolution which passed the Senate and House in 1878. This resolution was used in the Republican cam paigu book of 188S which was furnished Republican orators to fortify them with arguments for bimetallism. The resolution to which Mr. Curtis refers is: Resolved, That all the bonds of the United States is sued under the said acts of Con gress hereinbefore recited are pay able, principal and interest, at the option of the government of the United States, in silver dollars of the coinage of the United States containing 412J grains each of standard silver and that to restore to its coinage such silver coins as a legal tender in payment of said bonds, principal and interest, is not in violation of the public faith nor in derogation of the rights of the public creditor. The St. Louis Qlobe Democrat says that an "international agree ment for the larger use of silver is nothing but an irridescent dream," aud that Whitney "talks about it simply with a veiw to avert the itu pendeing suicide of his party." If the Globe-Democrat's statement is correct, that portion of the republi can platform declaring for "an inter aational agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to pio mote," is an irridescent piece of po litical chicanery, inserted in the republican platform for the purpose of deceiving and humbugging the masses.

The Re publican Bimetallic league was or ganized a year ago. At a meeting held here recently the following res olution was adopted and has been signed by all members of the league who could be reached: The Republican Bimetallic league deems the time to have come when it should make the following declar ation: "Its organization was formed in the hope that the Republican party would, iu the future, as in the past be true to the behest and will of the people upon all the living issues, and especially in the demand for free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio cf 1G to 1. But that hope has been dispelled. In its national council at St. Louis the party de clared for gold and the single stand ard; that this great nation, dedicated in its birth to the highest develop ment of the human race, should en- gaga in tb.9 business of making railli onaires and paupers; that the classes should dominate the masses, and that the government of the people, for the people aud by the people should perish from the earth. "We, as a league, most heartly in dorse the stand taken by Hon. Henry M. Teller aud his associates in their patristic efforts to prevent this party betrayal of self, and alike commend their withdrawal from such convention when it ceasod to represent the party of Liuooln, Grant and Garfield. "We are further persuaded that our duty is clear; we are called up on as men and citizens of the Repub lic to resist this proposed wrong; we therefore invite all Republicans to join with us in securing the unit ed action of all persons and parties who are, in belief and sympaty, with to make one united effort to establish the financial policy of this govern ment upon the true principles of bimetallism as it existed prior to 1S73. D. D. Gregcry, President. "R. F. Williams, Secretary.'' New York, July 1. A dispatch to the herald from Athens, says: Deputy Scouloudi, a friend cf the King and Linister of Marine under Tricoupis, has asked the Herald to express the wish of all Greeks that United States should scad a ship say the San Francisco to aid the starving fugitives, women axui child ren. There are 5,000 at Gonia and 7,000 at Point Plata. The wo meu are weakened by exposure and lack of food that they caanot suckle their children who are dying by the hundreds. M. Scouloudi says that Americans are the only people that cannot be suspected of having any ulterior motives, therefore, the only people who can undertake this great humanitarion work without exciting jealousy and disagreement.

Kaunas liepubhcau League Con vention a Dull Affair. Outside cf Slmwn County I.e. Than 20O Were Present. Topeka, Kan , July 1. The annu al convention of the Kansas Repub lican league in this city today was a great disappointment to the man af-r. Ther3 were less than 200 delegates prest-tt, barring the at tendance from -Shawnee county. Last year four times that number were present. It is supposed that the dissatisfaction in the ranks of the party on account of the financial plank iu the national platform was responsible for tho falling off. The proceedings of the convention were uninteresting, and many spectators left the hall during the sessions Most of the epeeches were lifeless and the convention, taking it alto gether, was about the dullest affair of the kind ever given in this city. The object of the league is to create enthusiasm among Republicans, but the party will not be burdened with the enthusiasm created today. The actual work of the organization is to meet once a year and elect officers This was the tenth meeting. A Campaign of Dynamite. New York, June 30 Several Cu bans who arrived here last night from Havana, on the Saratogo, brought with them copies of a circu lar issued to the Cubans, informing them that during the summer there would be many explosions in the towns, of the island, caused by dyna mite. The circular advised all Cu bans to U-ave the threatened district while tti.a campaign of destruction was u progress. At tho Cuban Junta headquarters yesterday it was said that the de struction of Havana in this way had been under contemplation for a long time, and that private buildings and property owned by Spauiards oppos ed t; the independenca of Cuba, would bo sacraficed as well as the public edifices. Detroit Tribune Holts. Jefferson City Tribune is. The Detroit Tribune, one of the oldest daily newspapers in the west, and the leading republican paper of Michigan since the birth of the party has unequivically repudiated the action of the republicaa National convention at St. Louis in declaring for the single gold ntandard. The Tribune says that, while McKinley is all right, "tha platform on the only important issue before the country is damnably uapatrotic and unrepublican." It says "no one's republicanism can be impugned if he continues to stand squarely on the National aud State platforms of the past, and if he repudiates utterly the false and unamerican falmina- tion of the St. Louis conspiracy,' and advises active campaigning against "go'd monometallism by con gressional candidates.'' Riot In Oil lo. Weslview, O , July 1. Over 100 shot3 were exchanged by deputy sheriffs and strikers this morning at the Berea Stone Quarries. No one was kilied so far as known. One striker had his leg broken in two places, and many have sore heads as the result of a hand-to-hand con. flict. The strikers approached the nnr. ry through a woods, with the avoir. ed intention of driving out the non union men at work. Thev were met by the sheriff and forty dep- uiiea, v,uo commanded them to stop For an answer began firing auu me ngnt men became general. For a few moments the strikers were repulsed and fell back to the WOOds. The men in the quarries are quitting for fear and through the importunities of their wiyes. At noon fifty additional deputy sheriff were sworn in at Cleveland and started for Westview. Banker Mo n an Suicides. Batavia, N. Y. June 29.

Teller will go to his mountain homa at Central City, Col., for a week or two to recuper ate. During the cainrairn hft will w 1 o . - deliver a number of speeches in the interestof the silver ticket in Illinois aud Indiana, and probably also in Ohio and several other Eastern Statea and in California. 'Just now it looks as if Bland or Boies were in the lead, with Bland a little ahead if anything," Senator Teller said today, when asked re garding the situation at Chicago. 'T believe that the Democratic par ty will declare for silver at 16 to 1. The silver pecpl9 are too much in earnest to allow a straddle. I do not think the gold Democrats will bolt the convention, but Jthey will knife the ticket at the polls. The gold forces of the country will be a unit in November.'' 'What would you advise, should the Democratic party declare un equivocally for eilvei f' he was ask ed. 'I would advise all the silver forces to support it, for that is tee omy way we can win," he ans wered. "We must meet the enemy with a solid front. I believe that if the silver forces unite, and there is a genuine silver ticket in the field on a straight silver platform, we will succeed this November. Silver is gaining strength with amazing rapidity in all parts of the cm-irv and I am sure it will continue to grow from now cn. It is the oulv subject discussed, and the more it is discussed the more adherents it will gain. The tariff has been relega ted, and the battle will be on the financial question.1" Did You Ever 33 4t Try Electric Bitters as a remedy for your troubles? If not, gat a bottle cow and get relief.
