WASHINGTON, March 2. - The American bimetallic party, through its executive committee, has pre? pared a statement of the issue on which the new party will organize and with it forward an address to the . people of the United States. Following is the statement : The money question is now indis dutably the dominant issue in the United States and will remain so until settled and settled rightly. Other questions, however important, must wait for this, which to a greater or less extent, involves all others. This issue is between the gold stand? ard, gold bonds and bank currency on the one side, and the bimetallic standard, no bonds and government currency, on the other. First. On this issue, we declare ourselves to be unalterably opposed to the single gold standard, and demand the immediate return to the Constitutional standard of gold and silver, by the restoration by this government, independently of acy foreign power, of the unrestricted coinage of both silver and gold into standard money at the ratio of 16 to 1, and upon terms of exact equality ; the silver coin to be a full legal tender, equally with gold, for al! debts and use, public and private. Second. We hold that the power to control and regulate a paper cur? rency is inseperable from the power to coin money ; and bene* that ali currency intended to circulate as money should be issued, and its volume controlled by the government only and should be legal tender. Third We are unalterably op? posed to the issue by the United States of interest bearing bonds in time of peace, and demand the pay? ment of ali coin obligations of the United States, as provided by exist? ing laws, in either gold or silver coin, at the option of the govern? ment and not at the optiou of the creditor. On this issue, we appeal from the dictation of the money power to the intelligence and patriotism of the American people. The address to the people of the United States, accompanying the statement, is an argument upon the issue set forth in the statement. In it appears these paragraphs : "The purpose of this movement is not to array section against bection nor class against class ; not to re? quire anybody to give up his con? victions on other questions, or to sever his party relations for any other purpose than to unite io a com- j mon cause-the cause of justice! against injustice, and prosperity in-1 stead of adversity ; of continued j employment of labor, instead of j forced'idlenss; of abundance and hap? piness instead of want and misery. "There can be no doubt, moreover, that a return to the staudard of gold and silver will promote in the high? est degree the business interests of the country, while the continuance of the present policy must necessarily be attended by a further fall of prices, imperiling the business enterprise still more, and prolonging indefinite? ly the present stagnant condition of trade and industry. " Mrs. Vanderbilt Divorced. The Mobile Girl Free From the Multi-Millionaire. NEW YORK, March 5.- Judge! Barrett of the Supreme Court this afternoon granted a decree of abso j lute divorce in favor of Mrs. Alva E ! Vanderbilt from her husband. VVil- j liam K. Vanderbilt, the well-known ? millionaire. As all of the testimony j and the report of the referee have bees sealed, no facts can bo ascer- j tained as to the parties who are im? plicated with Mr. Vanderbilt. Al? though a liberal allowance has been granted Mrs. Vanderbilt, there is no record of the sum which her husband has agreed to give her. The only pa? per the public can examine is the de cree of divorce. Mrs. Vanderbilt is to have the care and custody of her three children. The decree is grant? ed upon the report of Edmond Kelly | who was appointed to hear and deter-1 mine ail the issues involved. Miss Lily Marshall, au English girl, | who has a studio ?D New York, ie the inventor of tbe fioe iridescent effects in brass work, the secret cf | that process being known only to ber brother aod herself. All the work 1 exhibited, including many articles of j silver, as well as of brass, is doue entirely by hand, and comprises trays, j plaques, candlesticks, loviogcups, ; porringers and fruit bowls, together with a noticeably artistic piece of sil- ! ver, a "Queen Anne's salt cellar." : MiS3 Marshall ha? been but seven years in this country. The invention of ?the irisdescent brass was achieved just five years ago, after much labor and effort. At the recent world's fair ? held in Chicago, she was awarded a : gold medal for excellence and origi- ? nality of design. 1 Will Sell Cocktails. Tho Dispensary Caters for Trade. State Liquor Commissioner Mixson has announced that cocktails will hereafter be kept for sale in the dis? pensaries. He had just given an order to Uls man, Goldsborough & Co., of Balti? more, for 300 cases of pint and 100 cases of quart packages of gin, Man? hattan and whiskey cocktails. The State is to have its official bottles sent on to this concern, and they will fill them with the three varieties of cock? tails. Colonel Mixson says the in? troduction of the cocktail is purely an experiment, but one that will doubt lees prove popular. He intends to supply each dispenser with the cock? tails. It will depend upon the re? sults of the experiment as to whether thc sale of this style of liquors will continue. The Plymouth Rock Pants. BOSTON, March 7.-Ata meeting of the creditors of the Plymouth Rock Pants Co., to-day, Mr. Miner, chair? man of the committee of ivestigatioo, stated that the assets of the concern nominally aggregate ?1,012.000 while the liabilities amount to ?1,170,000. In the items classed as assets, however, there is little of real value and the statement was made by some of the creditors that it did not seem possible that the company could pay five cents on the dollar. The receiver stated that all the assets j had been swelled on the books and were j in reality very small. The available assets consist largely of old sewiDg ? machines, 'fixtures and remnants not j worth ?25,000, out of which must be paid preferred claims, rent, etc. The I outlook is very barren and he had ] thought that there was practically noth- i iog for the creditors. To-day he had been approached by a person who made an offer that might pay the creditors about five per cent. He bad fouod that the concern had not only put io orders for clothing as an asset on the j books, but also the value of the stock oat of which to make the clothes ordered. The French government proposes to impose fines upon railway companies for trains that start after the time men? tioned in the time tables. The iocb ?as formally divided into three * .barleycorns," these divisions be? ing originally the length of a well-dried grain of corn of the barley. The total production of beet sugar in Belgium, Germany, France, the Neth? erlands, Austria, Hungary, and Rus? sia together for last year was 3,687, 000 tons. Wooden pipes are used by the water? works of Denver. They range from thirty to forty-eight inches io diameter, and are made of Texas pine staves, banded with iroD. The first printed books abounded to such an extent to abbreviations that they were extremely difficult to read and un? derstand, and a treatise was prepared ; aod printed "How to Read a Printed Book." It gave explanations of the abbreviations. A San Francisco girl, disappointed in love five years ago. has built a cabin in the woods on the Upper Salmon Riv? er, and lives alone.- She is an expert aunter, and has raised a pair of griz? zly bears, which are very affectionate towards her. A knife is being brought out in En? gland which has a nickle-plated handle. On this handle is stamped in remark? ably plain letters the rates for letter and pnrcel postage, book and foreign postage, money orders, with also the rates for telegrams. The birth rate in Ireland for the 'ast quarter of the past year was 0.4 over ! the average rate for the corresponding quarter of the past teo years, and 0.5 I over the rate for the fourth quarter of 1893. The deaths were below the last j quarter of 1893 to the exfceot of 3,117. j A French railway has recently ar-1 ranged its telegraph lines so that at a prearranged sisnal the wires are switch- i ed from the telegraph instrument to j telephones, thus enabling the or.sprraot cither to talk verbally or to communi? cate by the telephone code at will.
