DEMOCRATS TALK
OF A NEW PARTY
Tliey Feci Disfranchised Under Exist
ing Conditions Cannot Vote for
Itryniiistn.
Ni:w IIavkk, Conn., Juno 7. K. C
lluni'dict, tlio Now York hanker, who
recently returned from a trip with Kx-
I'roHidunt Clovolond, Iiiih writtun n letter
in which ho mij'H :
"Tlio gross outrages porpotroted on
the good ii u in o of tlio domocrutic party
by tlio proHont nmnugora of a party by
that iiaini', witli Heorcely n vimtigo of
tlio old democratic gospol loft In it,
iiioki'h mo ut proaont a political orphan.
I am practically disfranchised hy their
action, while tiioir infidelity to demo
cnttic princiilt!H Iiiih provoked Infidelity
to tlio inline to Mich an extent that I
greatly fear we ran never ngoin succeed
under it.
I am not alone in thin orphanage.
On the contrary, I have not a single
uc(naintance anion); my democratic
friends with whom I have conferred,
who does not share this feeling with me.
It is also very apparent that this polit
ical orphanage is not conllnod to Hioho
ol our faith. McKinlnyiBin ia becoming
almoHt ns repugnant to the rank and
file of republicans as llryaniam ia to us.
As n temporary choice of evils, the
latter may survive the former, hut only
for a little while.
"These vast nnd increasing rebellious
elomonta from tbo ranks of both parties,
having common dangers, are fast be
coming common friends nnd are nnzious
to become enrolled under one banner.
Hut before an organization of thepo
elements can be effected, it ia the plain
duty of outraged democrats to use their
beat individual efforts, in the absence of
organization, to clean house by the
complete destruction of Uryanism. From
present appearances it is the only
function we can perform In the coming
campaign. Soon thereafter McKiuley
iaiu must surely perish as a punishment
for its infidelity to all sound principles
of government. Then will come tlio op
portunity for the formation of a great
party, based on a platform similar to
that of the national democratic purty in
18!)il (which was the soundest and most
patriotic ever placed before our people),
and the 'Moses' to lead it will be forth
coining when the proper time arrivea.
"The 'Hub Hollars' tell us in sub
flhiuco that to enjoy Heaven well we
should have a few moments of hell.
This ureal, rich country is sufleriug
vastly more from the pornicioua action
of its lawmakers nnd the unwarranted
action of tbo administration than from
all the Inw-breokera in tlio land ; but
our matchless form of government re
mains, under which our old party, with
all its time- honored principles, moy bo
buiii again with renewed patriotic vigor
with overwhelming ranks, and, quite
likely, with a now name."

San Fhancisco, June 7. At a confer
ence between Governor Gage and the
members of the state board of health
tiio governor stated that he would not
sanction the expenditure of state funds
to combat the plague until ho bad se
cured evidence of the existence of the
disease in this city. When ho Iihb fully
investigated the matter ho will reply to
the recent dispatch from Secretary of
the State Hay, miking for information.
The state hoard will notify nil county
and city boards of health iu the Btato of
the condiliona now existing in China
town, and will formulate a plan for mili
tary inspections throughout the state.
Since May 1 2(10 ChiueBe have left this
city for interior points.
President Williamson, of the local
board of health, has written to Consul
Piokerririll. of Victoria, II. C. stating
that no case of plague is known to exist
hero. This was done at the request of
the chamber of commerce, which feared
that Victoria might quarantine San
Francisco and thus cut off the city's coal
supply.

Boston. June 7. Former Judge E. G.
Walker, who was mentioned aa a presi
dential possibility at the meeting of the
national negro party in Philadelphia,
savs :
"I have heard rumors of the forma
tion of such a party. It is a beautiful
theory. I believe one of the principles
of the party was for colored men either
to refrain from voting or vote for this
new nurtv. So far aa not voting is con
cerned, I believe In voting if I were up
to my neck in blood.
"In regard to a presidential nomina
tion I have no desire or ambition to be
d tagged around in the mud.
"This uction of the colored people
seeking a new party is no doubt in
spired by tbo recent talk about repeal
ing tlio 15th amendment. There is a
party general feeling among the colored
people against the Republican party
this coming election if President Mc
Kinioy is the standard-bearer. McKin
ley Iia9 no sympathy for the negro."

Washington, June 7. In marked
contrast with the exciting incidents at
tending the bitter strugglee of the closing
hours of the session, Speaker Honderaon
laid down his gavel at 5 o'clock this after
noon at the conclusion of one of the
most picturesque scenes which has ever
occurred in tiio hall of representatives.
Party pussion and personal rancor, which
have brought the Houso to the brink of
actual riota at times during the last 48
hours, gave way in the closing half-hour
to good fellowship, have ended in a
patriotic outburst that stirred the
crowded galleries to tbo higlitest pitch
of enthusiasm.
Kev. W. E. Sitzor, W. Canton, N. Y.,
writes, "I had dyspepsia over twenty
yeare, and tried doctors and medicines

Kodol Dyspopsia Cure and it helped me

DIRECT RESULTS
OF EXPANSION
The Trade With Cuba and Our New
Possessions Exceeds Anything in Their
and Our History.
Washington, Juno 5. Exports from
the United States to Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Hawaiian, Philippine and
Samonn Islands will reach $45,000,000 in
the fiscal year which ends with the
present month, and will be more than
three times as much as in 1806, and more
than twice as much aa in any year of our
commerce with thoeo islands, except in
tho yeara 1892, 1893 and 1894, when re
ciprocity greatly increased our exports
to Cuba and Porto Rico. To Cuba the
total for the fiscal year seems likely to be
fully $25,000,000, against $7,530,000 in
the fiscal year 189G, and $24,157,000 in
the great reciprocity year, 1S93, when
exports to that island were moie than
doublo those of five years earlier. T "
Porto Rico, the exports of the year wi
be, in round termB, $2,000,000, against
an average of $2,760,000 in the reciprocity
years, 1892, 18f 3 and 1894, when exports
to that island were double those of
earlier years. To the Hawaiian islands
the total for tlio year will be about $15,
000,000, or five times as much aB in 1893,
nearly four tlmeB as much as in 189G,
and more than double the total for 1898.
To the Philippines the total for 1900 will
be about $2,500,000, or more than in the
entire fifteen years since 1885, the date
at which the first record of our exports
to the Philippines was mado by the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics. To the
Samoan Islands the exports ot the year
will be about $125,000, or nearly as much
as in all the years since 189G, at which
date the official records of our exports to
those began.
On the import Bide, Cuba beginB to
show something of her old-time strength
as on exporting island, as the total im
ports into tho United States from Cuba
for tho full year will show a total of $31,
000,000, against $15,000,000 in 1898, and
$18,500,000 in 1897, though they still are
less than half the average for the recipro
city years, 1892, 1893 and 1894, when our
imports from the island averaged over
$75,000,000 per annum. From Porto
Rico the imports of the year will be $1,
350,000, which iB lees than the total for
any preceding year since 1880, and Is
presumably due to the destruction by
last year's tornado of the rops which
supply Porto Rico's chief articles of ex
port. From the Hawaiian islands the
imports for the full fiscal year will be
$21,009,000, or double the average annual
Importation for the period prior to 1890,
and 20 per cent higher than in any pre
ceding year, while from the Philippines,
despite the war conditions, which reduce
producing and exporting power, the im
ports will bo lurg"r than in any year
since 1894.

A startling incident, of which Mr.

subject, Is narrated by Jhini as follows:
"I was In a most dreadful condition. My
skin was almost yellow, eyea eunken,
tongue coated, pain continually in back
and sides, no appetite gradually grow

cians had given me up. Fortunately, a

continued their use for three weeks, and
am now a well man. I know they saved
my life, and robbed the grave of another
