Applause.
Madison Square (Juiden, New York.
Aug-. IS. The muss meeting of the
Democratic! honest money league whs
held this evening:, under the most fa
vorable auspices. The weuther was
more than could be desired, clear and
delightfully cool and thoiisuuds upon
thousands of persons turned out to
hear Hon. YV.Hoiirke Cnckiun's reply to
the speech of William J. Bryan deliver
ed in the sume umnhithcalie last
Wednesday night. The arrangements
for the meeting were on a most clahor
nte and iihnost perfect scale ami the
trouble and tumult outside the garden
which marked the Bryan demonstra
tion were entirely lucking. Instead of
opening hut two entrances to allow of
the ingress of the auditors live different
floors were opened und the people came
in easily and without any crushing- and
crowding. The doors were opened at
i o'clock und from that hour until the
speaking commenced 'u steady slreuni
of people lloweil into the huge audi
torium. The ti'.ith Regiment bund rendered
a series of national airs while the aud
ience tiled in. 10 very man, woman and
child who entered wllhin was given u
small American Mug und a Iculli-t con
taining the words of "Star Spangled
Banner" und "Anierlcii." These souks
were rendered by ll double Iplul'telte in
which the vust assemblage assisted.
Tin- small Atnericun Hugs played a
prominent ;nt Inter In the evening,
when they were waved vigorously and
with charming effect liy I lie vust aud
ience when it nave vent to its enthus
iasm ut some of tlie many points made
by Mr. Cockran In the course of his
speech.
The cfecoi ul ions in the great hull
were far more profuse llian those ut
I he Bryan meeting1. Plugs, shields und
si reamers Were hung- in every it callable
place, und the garden presented a most
beautiful picture. The slurs and stripes
was the only dug used, und as thjere is
none more beautiful to look upon, ac
cording; to all put! Mic Americans,
everybody could not help hut be satis
lied with the effects they produced.

ol Senator Butler.
Washington, Aug. IS. The Populist
pally will be in t lie lushion tills yeur,
and like the two old parties, will live
in double barrelled headquarters, the
main oltice to be In Washington and
the brunch In Chicago. This may he
reversed, but the understanding upon

To a reporter of the railed Associat

"There Is a ureal cliumie of senti

WILL SALISBURY
YIELDTO OLNEY
The Crucial Point in the Plan of
Arbitration.
PROSPECTS ARE MUCH BRIGHTER
i. opes Aroused by Heportsol' British
I'oucessiou iu Vcne.iicbi Matter.
1'luu to Indemnity F.uiiliith t'olouints
Who Muy lie Dispossessed Eiig
lund Is F.tpet'led to Fay the Bill.
Washington, Aug. IS. Tlie cable re.
port from London that Lord Salisbury
has yielded to Secretary Olney oil the
crucial point of the Venezuelan nego
tiations, that of including tlie settled
portions of the disputed tract In the
proposed arbitration, is regarded us uu
Important development by those in
terested ill the subject. The inclusion
of the "settled districts" has been the
chief obstacle iii the way of arbitra
tion, so that if the report of its re
iiiuvul Is continued, the two govern
ments appear to lie nearer loan amic
able agreement than ut uny time
since the trouble began.
Lord Salisbury from the first has in
sisted tliut tills settled district wus
soveieiKii British soil, which could not
be subjected to the Judgment of arbi
trator. Secretary olney had urged
that the omission of tills settled por
tion from urbliratloii would defeat tlie
whole scope of the urbitrutioh.as th
unsettled or worthless sections, were
not what Venezuela contended for.
Th latest view of this phuse was pre
sented in a brief by Mr. Storrow, A
lawyer of Boston, of whose ahllty Mr.
oluey bus u high opinion. Tlie Storrow
brief wus luid before the Venezuela
commission us a part of the Venezuela
case, but a side from this it Is known
that its Hue of urgument wus similar
to tliut taken by the seceivtary of
state.
Mr. Storrow pointed out that the
"settled district" was. In fact, but lit
tle settled; that I he number of British
colonists there was comparatively lu
slgnlllciiiit: that their "improvements,"
on wbicli Lord Salisbury hud luid much
stress, were of the must meuger und
primitive kind, und tliut the whole
money value of existing British settle
ments, houses, Improvements, etc.,
would lie a comparatively small sum.
From this the conclusion was drawn
that these so-called settled districts
should not stand in tlie way of the ud
Jiistinent of so large a question. There
bus been no intimation that this view
wus shared by the Brilisli authorities
mi t i lthe cable dispatch stating that,
un what Is believed to be the Inspired
authority of the Bradford "Observer,"
the point was conceded by Lord Salis
bury. The further suggestion Is made
that payment will be made for the im
provements of the British settlers iu
ca.se Venezuela Is awarded Ihe terri
tory, but no reference is made as to
who will pay the indemnity, although
Oreut Britain will mollify those of her
subjects who are dispossessed.
BOERS "TRYING OUT" ENGLAND.
Suid to He Arming with a View nl In
timidating the British.
London, Aug. is. -The Times this
morning publishes a letter from Pre
toria, in w hich the correspondent notes
tin continued arming of the forces of
the Trausvaul Itepiihlic, und dwells
upon the universal opinion existing
unions; the Boers thai, uu attempt to
overthrow the treaty obligations toward
Kliglulid Is meditated.
Tlie correspondent is of Hie opinion
that the mo're shrewd view Is tliut tlie
Trunsvual authorities will only "try on"
the programme Intended, for the pur
pose of seeing how much lOnglund will
"stand," und If signs of weakness are
detected they will make the ubidgatioii
of tin; treaty clunses adopted by the
Anglo-Boer convention of 1SS4, which
placed the English government in con
trol of the foreign relations of the
Transvaal Republic, the base of u com
promise. In conclusion the correspondent of tlie
Times usserts that he Is coiitident tliut
the Trunsvual government will not go
to tlie extent of fighting. He believes
thut President Kruger is tuo wary to
allow the Boers to be forced Into a
course which could only lead to dis
aster. The Transvaal government bus Issued
n denial of the report thut tlie Truns
vuul, Iu contravention of the conven
tion of InM, hud entered Into a treaty
with a foreigu power without the con
sent of Ureul Britain. The government
tiildu that the republic does not desire
to violate uny cluuse of the convention.

Spnuish Warships Overhauled tbe
Ardanrose Three Times.
Philadelphia, Aug. 18. The British
steamship Ardanrose arrived ut this
port last night from Havana, Saguu,
Matansas and Daiquiri with a cargo of
sugar and Iron ore. She skirted tw-
thlrds of the coast of Cuba, and the
camptires of the Insurgents on the
mountain tops could be distinctly seen
by those on board. The destruction of
property by the torch was also visible,
hundreds of ucres of sugar cane and
millions of dollars' worth of machinery
having been swept away within a short
time.
While at iSugua the Ardanrose was
overhauled three times by a Spanish
gunboat. At Daiquiri the vessell loaded

arrived from Chicago this morning.
Mr. Byniim says that he learned New
York will send a lull delegation of 7-'
members und a large number of visit

certain that Maryland will retrieve the
steps which some of the leaders took
against tlie thild ticket. John J. Cow
an, the big Maryland Democrat, will
supMirt McKinley iu preference to a
third ticket. It is said.
Air. Byniim says thai there seems to

S01 Fourteenth street, N. W
Washington, Aug. 18.
Nobody cun blame Senator ilorinun
for declining to uccept a place ou the
Bryun campaign committee, especially
since it has been decided to establish
the headquarters or tlie nulional com
mittee iu Chicago Instead of iu New
York or Washington. Ionium's ex
cuse for not accepting ibe pruferreil
place is that Chicago is too fur away
lroiii Alurylund for him to give much
of his time to the work which would
be assigned him by Cliiilrmuii Jones.
It is doubtful if Gorman would liuve
accepted the job if headquarters hud
been established hi Washington, or,
for that matter. In Bultlniore. He is
not heart and soul either for the plat
form or the ticket named at Chicago.
He l not a free sliver man, neither Is
he much of a free trader, either. For
those reasons he wus glad to nave a
good excuse to get out of a nauseullng
Job.
Then Mr. tiormun will liuve more
than he call attend to In u political
way in Alurylund. His fences and
those of his party are badly shaken In
that state, und it will require all of his
attention to tlx them up. Of course.
Semi tor Oormun's term does not expire
until March ::. IMS, but he is anxious
about the state patronage which he
and his party lost two yeurs ago.
Without the state machinery at his
buck Senator Goi-muii is in an almost
helpless condition, uud unless he cun
retrieve his lost dllicul fortunes to
some extent this year he might us well
retire to the quiet of private lite, tior
mun has been feeding ut the public
crib since boyhood. He first entered
I'ncle Sam's service as a page In the
Semite, when he was thirteen years
of uge, and Willi tlie exception of ten
yeurs-from 1N7U to issii-duriiig which
time he held otllce under the slate of
Alurylund Air. (human bus hud u firm
hold on the government seat. It Is u
pretty good record for a man who Is
only 67 years old to huve hod ntllce 44
yeurs. From present Indications ho
will be forced into retirement at the
end of his present term unless the
people of Murylund change their minds
mightily in tlie next two year.i.
The Hon. Richard Purks Bland, the
man who didn't get the presidential
nomination on the Democratic-Populist
Ic ticket, but who had bis heart and
soul deud sot ou it. drifted into Wash
ington .Monday from New York, where
he left Brother Bryan and Ids wife
manager. Ju speaking of the Bryun
purly's trip through Pennsylvania last
week, Mr. Bland said it wus "Tlie most
remarkable thing lie ever witnessed,"
und that ho "wouldn't be surprised if
thut slute was found Iu the silver col
umn this yeur." Air. Bland might not
be surprised, but there are several thou
sand peonle in Pennsylvania who will
be if their wtute doesn't give McKin
ley and Unhurt Howards of ::in.uu ma
jority. Ureal crowds do not mean anything-.
Tuke. for Instance, the Singerly
campaign for governor two years ugo.
Did any candidate ever have larger or
apparently more enthusiastic crowds ut
his meetings that had Air. Singerly, or
wus any candidate snowed under by
such an avalanche of votes than the
commodore? A defeiit by l'45.(MKl major
ity is crushing, but it Is nothing com
pared to the licking Bryun and his free
silver fallacy will get Iu Pennsylvania
next November.
It Is Airs. Bryan and not Seiiutor
Jones who Is conducting tile Demo-cratio-Popullstic
campaign. It wus she
who insisted Upon the heiiiluuurters of
the committee being located at Chi
cago. She thinks Chicago is her hus
band's mascot, because lie happened to
be nominated for president In thut city.
It Is said that the members of Hie na

Justed iu the "skirt" end of the Bryan
oullit. They say that a man who Is
so absolutely under the control of his
wife us Bryun Is, ought not to be presi
dent. Airs. Bryun Is a Very brilliant
und talented woman, but her place Is
not on tlie stuuin iu a political cum
palgn. A gentleman who uttemled the
Aladisoii Square meeting Is responsible
for the statement that It wus with the
greatest Ui.t1l.-ult y thut Airs. Bryun wus
persuaded to occupy a box instead of a
seat on the platform along side her
husband when he was sneaking. The
committee in charge of the meeting had
to almost command Mrs. Bryan to take
a seat elsewhere thiui on tlie platform.
Candidate Bryun ought to profit by the
experience of one Air. Lease, of Kansas,
whose wife has driven him into political
us well us business and sodul obscurity.
While Senator Cameron has been
more or less Identified with the cause
of silver he cannot swallow either the
Chicago platform or the ticket. Senator
Cameron is above nil a Republican, it
his parly does not agree with him in
all things lie is not going to rorsnke it
like Teller. Dubois und others. He will
Vote for McKinley and Hobart because,
us he very aplty said to our Interviewer,
that he "is no fool." Tliousumls of oth
er Republicans who tire claimed by the
silver people are In Ihe same bout with
Senator Cameron. They may thitiK
well of silver but they love parly more,
