Bismarck Divulged State
Secrets. . '
DUE TO JEALOUSY OF CAPRIVI
Bin Article in the Hamburger Nachrlcb
ten Brings Forth a Ribnke From
the Official Press.
Berlin", Oct. 28 Pnblic opinion gen
erally in Germany condemns Prince Bis
marck's revelations in the Hamburger
Nachrichten, regarding the alliance be
tween Russia and Germany, which ex
isted daring the last years of his chan
cellorship, and allusions are made to his
'indiscreet loquacity, which isgradutlly
tarnishing his glorious reputation."
There is little doubt that the prince'
has divulged important state eecrets in
his attempt to triumph oyer his success
or, General Count von Caprivi, -and the
official communication in the Reichzan
ger yesterday, cabled exclusively to the?
Associated Press, indirectly admits the
truth of the article In the Nachrichten,
and sharply rebukes Prince Bismarck
"by saying:
"Diplomatic events of this kind are!
strict state secret's, and to preserve them J
conscientiously is an international duty,
a breach of which would prejudice' im
portant state matters. The imperia
government must therefore decline any
attempt to clear up the matter, and it
will neither deny what is false- nor snp
ply what is incomplete.
THINKS SPAIN WILL WIN.
General Weyler la Confident or Success
in Cuba.
Havana, Oct. 28. In an interview
General VVeyler was asked last night-:
"What do you think about the pros
pects of putting down the insurrection
in the province of Pinar del Rio?"
The general replied that he thought
tne chances were excellent for the corn-
piece success oi tne epanisn arms in tnH
for some time, he said, and the recent
victories of General Munoz at Cacaraja
cara, and of General Arolas at ArU'miaa,
had only confirmed him in his belief of
freeing the province of all insurgents.
"Is it a fact that you have decided to
take the field in person. General VVey
ler?" asked the correspondent.
"There is nothing absolutely decided
on that subject. I am in telegraphic
connection with my generals every
where and.can direct the movements of
all my - forces. Here I can follow the
course of events, both civil, political and
I military. I have so far believed that
my best work could be done here. Here
II can better direct operations; here-I
have in my bands the control of tele
graphs, railroads and steamships. Once
in the field my scope would be limited
to that of a commander ot an army
corps. ' '

The State Will Give McKinley an Im
mense Majority.
Columbus, O., Oct. 28. Hon. C. L.
Kurtz, chairman of the Ohio Republican
executive committee has sent the follow
ing telegram to M. A. Hanna at Chicago :
'Columbus, Oct. 27. Hon. M. A.
Hanna, Chairman Republican National
Committee,: Chicago: Ohio will give
McKinley a larger majority than the
ever gave to a leading candidate on the
state or national ticket, with the possi
ble exception of that given to Broach for
governor in 1863. O. L. Kurtz, chair
man." This is the first nredictment which
Cnairman Kurtz has made concerning
the election in Ohio. Numerous state
ments have been attributed to bim, bnt
none of them have been authentic. The
magnitude of the vote claimed by Mr.
Kurtz can best be understood when
it is stated that two years ago Hon. S.
M. Taylor, Republican candidate for
secretary of state, received a majority of
64,000, his plurality being 137,000.
Brongh's majority for governor in 1863
was 100,882.. Mr. Kurtz says be does
not care to give any fignres at this time;
bnt may do so before the election. ' It is
figured that the vote in the rural pre
cincts will stand about the same as last
year, the cities and towns rolling up the
big majorities for McKinley.

REPUDIATION AND DISHONOR.
A Part of One of Henry Ward Beecber'a
Best Sermons.
During the fiat money and unlimited
paper currency excitement of 1877 Mr.
Beecher delivered a famous sermon on
Thanksgiving of that year on the perils
of the day. In it he used this language:
"Whenever in any nation there is
such an attempt to tamper -with ' stand
ards that the moral sense of man is be
wildered and liberty is given to nnprin
cipled men at large to cheat, to be un
faithful to obligations, to refnse the
payment of honest debts whenever that
takes place, it is all tlte worse if done
with the permission of the law. I hate
the devil riding on a law worse than I
do the devil riding without a law nnder
him. Whoever tampers with established
standards tampers with the very marrow
and vitality of pnblio faith. The
danger into which we are running is
hidden under the mystery of finance and
the currency. All money is bnt a repre
sentative of property. As now, by facil
ity of intercourse, all the world is one
open market, the need of one and the
same standard of money, nniform, uni
versal and unalterable, becomes imperi
ous. "Gold is the world's standard. Gold
is the universal measure of value. Other
(kinds of money there are silver, cop
per, paper but they all must conform
to gold and be measured by it and be
interchangeable with it, in fixed and
definite proportions. Gold is king in
commerce. All other money must rep
resent gold. No vote of legislature can
change the nature of commerce, the na
ture of property; the nature of ijs repre
sentative in money or the relative supe
riority or inferiority ' of different cur
rencies. Gold came to its supremacy as
a representative of property by the long
established consent of mankind. Con
gress cannot change it for the world,
nor even for this nation, except upon
past transactions. 'It may give impu
nity to men to cheat confiding creditors,
bnt it cannot rule the value of currency
in all fnture transactions. .
"'The crime of paying a debt in a cur
rency inferior in value to that in which
it was contracted, base at all times and
anywhere, has a deeper guilt and a
baser infamy in our case. When in our
mortal struggle capitalists were solicited
to lend their money to us on the faith of
the nation, we were too glad,' most
grateful, for their aid. Then they were
not grasping and swollen usurers. Oh,
no! They were benefactors. We rejoiced
in their bounty and gave thanks for
their confiding faith in our national
honesty. Now, 'our dangers past, we re
vile them, finding no epithets too vio
lent, and strive to pay them, not gold
for the gold they lent our misery, but in
a dishonest measure of an inferior
metal.
"In the court of the ' commercial
wolrd's conscience we shall be convict-
.ed of endeavoring to cheat the men who
came to our rescue in the dark day.
This congress would not have existed
nor any government of the United
States brit for the strength given to our
armies by foreign capitalists, and now
to return their' aid by a .base treachery
is to deserve an infamy as deep as the
lowest depths of hell. But woe to those
men, bull headed, without eyes, who are
attempting to undermine the integrity
and simplicity of the nation."
An Unworthy Citizen.
. Silverite Orator What we want is
more money. "
Skeptic Would, free coinage make
more money? ...
S. O. Certainly. It would give us
both gold and silver.
S. But wouldn't f ree "coinage" at 16
to 1 drive gold out of circulation, in ac
cordance with the Gresbam law?
S. O. My friend, Mr. Bryan pro
poses to repeal any law that is working
in the interest of the goldbngs and Shy
locks. - - -
' S. But the Gresham law is a natu
ral law, like the law cf gravitation.
S. O. My friend, you are a pessimist
and don't know that you are a citizen
of the grandest country on earth one
that can "without the. aid or consent of
any other nation" repeal even the law
of gravitation itself if it should become
a tool of Wall street. Shame on you 1
You don't belong to this country. As I
was saying "'..,..
