Washington, D. C., November 19. —(Special

hard at. work on the message he is to send
to congress and the indications from the
white house these brigiTt autumnal days
are that the presidential mind is fil’d to

this can best be done that McKinley is
calling on his associates for advice.
The Wolcott Commission Failure.
McKinley has more than ills share of
trouble these days. Tlie failure of Hie Wol
cott commission was tlie first of a series
of events that has brought home to him
tho truth of the old adage which relates to
tho unpleasant sensations that go witli tho
wearing of a crown.
It was confidently expected by the Col
orado senator who conceived tlie. idea and
by the. other prominent republicans Who
thought it a foxy scheme, that the result
of tho Wolcott-Stephenson-! ’nine junket
would bo some equivocal reply from the
government of Great Britain which could
bo construed as favorable to bimetallic
action some time In the future. That was
the sort of political capital that tlie "com
mission” was expected to bring back.
When, however, it brought an answer so
decisive as to bo the strongest possible
Indorsement of the democratic contention
that England's co-operation could never be
obtained unless she wore driven to it in
self-defense, all calculations hud been up
set and the troubles had uegun for tho
president and his party.
Senators Chandler and Carter Talk.
Tlie hope that republican bimetallists
might be induced to let the bimetallism
idea drop was promptly dispelled by tlie
appearance of the strong letter of Senator
Chandler warning his party that adherence
to the gold standard would bring demo
cratic victories in the congressional elec
tions and that "a free coinage bill would in
1900 be signed by President Bryan.” That
has been followed by similar declarations
from high republican sources. Senator Car
ter. of Montana, who was paraded as "one
westerner who had faith in tlie old party”
and all that, now- adds Ills views to tho
disturbance of the party leaders. Senator
Carter still clings to tho idea that tlmro
may some way and somewhere lie a path
for tho party out of tho woods by the
bimetallism route, but lie warns his fellow
republicans that "when It is ascertained
that international bimetallism cannot bo
secured. I should unquestionably favor, and
upon a candid acknowledgment of tlie fact
it would undoubtedly follow, that a general
realignment upon tho financial question
would occur throughout the country. And
for that division, when it occurs, the sin
gle gold standard men will not b ■ well pr
pared.”
Tne senator's pretense that the time for
.that division has not yet come will hardly
be Indorsed by tlie men whom lie and his
associates fooled through international
promises last year. His talk on that line
Is like Wolcott's—a sort of sparring for
wind, nothing more.
Against a Bond Issue.
But the .Montana senator does not con
tent himself with these general references
to possible contingencies, lie comes out
squarely upon one of the subjects that is
perplexing the men in power; he is against
tho retirement of the greenbacks, and
says so.
"It can bo stated emphatic ally.” said ho,
"that ti'i alleged reform can slice. ■. <1 in
passing congress which proposes to contract
tlie currency or which provides for tin' is
suance of bonds. The exchange of gre. n
baciis for interest bearing binds would in
volve tlie. contraction of the currency to
the extent of the outstanding greenbacks
thus retired. I .am well satisfied that tlie
temper of tlie country and tin judgment of
congress will be adverse to such action."
Almost coincident with tin- appearance
of this interview with Senator Carter
comes an authorized sta mnent of the work
that is being done by this self-appointed
in .notary commission wiime mission is to
v.'i'ce the sentiments of tii.* 11. If. Hanna
business null and to add to the troubles of
the republican party. This st.-.!'nmnl is
evidently put out as a f iler, but :t reveals
one feature of the commission's work that
will attract wide attention to say tlie least
of it.
Will Recommend Gold Bonds.
The commission is going to recommend
tho Issuance of gold bonds.
This is, of course, a part and parcel,
and a meessary one, of th. m iln plank
In the platform of these Indianapolis peo
ple- the retirement of the greenbacks and
adherence to the gold standard. There
net er lias been any doubt as to the gen
eral trend of th? reconnm-nda'ions of tin,
commission, but that it would have tlie
t< rm rity to call for gold bonds in the face
of the overwhelming sentiment of tho coun
try against such bonds proves that tlie
commission is all that tlie republicans here
are calling it.
Which Is—well, everything that wouldn't
look well in print, if you have a desire
to he ir billingsgate more choice and more
va orous than < v. r fell from the month of
tlie original fish-wife, all you have to <io is
to mention this "commissi >n” n the I.ear
ing of a republican senator or congress
man.
When this body of mugwump financiers
first appeared upon tlie mmie there was
a disposition to ji-iss them by lightly with
a laugh. Nobody then took them seriously
put themsei ves. Th<-y were. ■■: eou rse,
weighted down with their own importance,
but republicans as well as 1.-mocrats were
inclined to treat them as nothing more
than necessary evils who could do no lairm.
Now it is different. The rejiubltcans see
that they are to lie held responsible for tile
acts of the commissi..n and : iie.v are by no
means jileased at the prospect. Hence
their curses.
Displeased with the President.
And it happens most n.itur.i'iy that tlnso
curses are not hurled seb-v at mcm.'.- is of
the commission. Some of them at., timed
at President McKinley, who is tightly
charged with having, by his re • >mm< rda
tlon for the creation of such a commission,
given a qua.sl-indorsement to this one. Tlie
president resents this and points to tlie
fact tliat he had no h in I in tlie appoint
ment of these nartiT.il.ir g-mtlenieti; but
th it his ni ; sage sent to con t’. s In the
closing hours of last s-ssion was In; 'tided
to give a sort of Ind >r m■ it to this ] i.r
tul.ir commission is und cib 1 ■ diy tine and
for tliat reason It Is perfectly it nn.de
to saddle the responsibility for Its actions
upon the administration.
His own people are doing it. Th< re are
manv members of tlie senate and house
who are blaming the president for wiiat
they consider a political mistake and ate
in a posit.on to do this because they warn
<.l !i Hl against tlie dangers "f this very
thing.
A Play to the South.
According to the statement of the press
agent of the commission, 'her;. Is io be a
recommendation for gold bonds, but it Is
honed to teni’ier the opposition to such an
issue by some other provisions. We are
told that "the new currency project will
embody advantages to the south which will
make a provision for gold bonds a merely
subsidiary feature.” How this is to be done
Is explained this way: “A gr it trurs of
public opinion exists In the south in favor
of in elastic banking currency, and tills
opinion wiil Im brought to bear in a man
ner which will at least temper the opposi-

tion of southern senators 'f it does not
bring them to the vigorous support of the
new project.”
After formulating their measure, this
commission will wash its hands cf the
whole matter, leaving to the H. 11. Hanna
executive committee the onus of getting
It through congress. Mr. Hanna’s commit
tee proposes an active campaign of educa
tion in behalf of the measure and the con
centration of tile bushi’ss sentiment in its
support. They figure on getting a majority
of tlie senate from the forty-three republic
ans, three gold democrats and, as they
put it, eight “sound money democrats who
supported Mr. Bryan because he was Hie
party nominee." They figure on tlie loss
of some of the silver senators who, i'ke
Carter and Chandler, supported McKinley,
but think they can spare these votes.
That count indicates tliat ,-omo cf the
unpleasant things tlie republicans are say
ing are true—the suggestion iliat Hie mem
bers of tlie commission and the committee
which created It are "mugwump ra nbow
chasers” for ‘nstance.
How It All Strikes McKinley.
Witli Chandler’s words of warn.ng ring
ing in one ear and the c imnii-.-don s talk
of gold bonds Jangling m at tne other, with
one set of advisers malting extreme t<ccm
mendation on one line .and another joint
ing out the certainty of party defeat and
repudiation if he follows those ucommend
atfons, tlie man in the white house :s not
spending many pleasant evenings. No won
der ho makes slow progress on his mes-
What tliat document will contain is os
yet a mystery, because tlie man who is to
write it does not himself know what he
will put in ft. But it is not at all likely
that ho will recommend definite action of
any sort. The man who possess 'S the skill
at saying nothing that was shown In those
doormat sin? .'lies during the l ist cam
paign can be relied upon to find some way
to cover up the predicament of the repub
lican party In this particular emergoney.
Another supreme effort will lie ncide to
fool tlie people into tlie belief tliat some
thing may yet come of flic international
bimetallism scheme, without seriously of
fending tho interests that are now . ailing
for explicit declarations for “currency re
form.”
Democrats Are Happy.
While th" republicans arc in trouble over
the situation, there is no such feeling to be
found where democrats or their allies, tlie
silver republicans, congregate.
The outlook from Hie standpoint of the
genuine friends of silver is certainly all
that could be asked. The silver repub
licans are especially jubilant over the result
of the Wolcott mission abroad, tills ng It
as a. strong indorsement of tlie w:sdom of
the position th.-y took in i'.e lasi cam
paign. < Ini' of tlie most active end most
vigorous of the representatives of tb s
party, which is small in numbers but
in influence, is Representative Hartman,
of Montana, who ts at present in the city.
He is tlie lead! r of the silver jepuijli. ans
of tlie house and while not pron . Io indis
criminate talk, when he Joes talk it is be
cause he lias same.hing p> say.
He was ig the re tent In'.'t views
of Senator ''handler anl Sen itor Carter
and their bearing upon the s.fin'Jtn.
"What they now say and wiiat tlie Wol

position taken by -In- nimbi: ins who
supliorted Itryan m He- la-t c.imp.iiwi was
the only correct position for a true friend

As to Chandler and Carter.
Tn expressing himself upon ‘.he t’nardlcr
letter and the Carter interview, Mr. Hart
man said:
"I regard those stat >ments as meaning

tain'd tliat International bimetallism can
not be secured. I presumed it had been as
certained to tlie satisfaction of ev* rybody
tliat international bimetallism involving
the consent of Great Britain is an irrides
cent dream. Tlie fact of Hie I'ompli te fig
ure of Hie three previous conferences, be
cause of the refusal of Great Britain to
consent to an agreement, ought tn itself
to be sufllcient proof of the improbability
of the achievement of International < o-op

statement publl-lied by Th. London Stat

folly of sending any more commissions to
