THE YACHT HAZEL SOLD. NATAL AUTHORITIES RETICENT ABOUT THY. GREAT DETERIORATION OF THE ENQUIRER, fBT TTUGHJkFH TO THE TRrBTTin.l Washireton. June The authorities of the Navy trtaaani a.re extremely reticent over the terrible deterioration of the yacht Enquirer during that vessel's brief naval career, and they are not convinced of the necessity for by documents on flic that the vessel vas in sad condition when John R. Hazel, nt fSufTafo.

by indefatigable persistence and exertion of influence induced the Department to purchase her for $80,000, only to sell her within a year For £20.000. Her condemnation for naval purposes and appraisal at 130,000 was made on April 29, by a board at New-York consisting of Captain Merrill Miller. Naval Constructor Bowles and Chief Engineer Bard, and the standing of these officers makes It certain that the Enquirer waa not worth more than $20,000 at that time. When Holmes, the ship broker, offered the vespel to the Navy Department In April, IS9S. he asked $100,000 for her, and for a while would not listen to accepting less.

A-fter two months, however. Mr. Dsera, the owner, consented to accept the Treasury Department's check for and the Enquirer, with practically new boilers and other overhauling-, 'was used in roardlni the mine fields of Xew-York City's defence? at the Narrow? for eighteen days. Sundays included. The yacht buying public and yacht brokers in summer of year apparently did not the Enquirer worth as the Navy Department did not receive a sinpie bid for her.

Under the law the Navy Department could not dispose of a at less than her appraised value, and the Army appears to have been The only possible purchaser with -whom money was free enough to pay $30,000.

Washington. Tune 1 (Special). George E. Matthews. Editor of "The Buffalo Express," who 5s at Raleig-h Hotel to-day, will be one of the witnesses to appear to-morrow before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary in opposition to the confirmation of John R.

Hazel's nomina( an a- a United States District Judge. Mr. Mat- r-" was here on the same mission last week. Ke says that Hazel is not a suitable man for the high position of a Federal Judg-e. that he lacks the requisite expe-ience as a lawyer, and that his training has not fitted him to "fill the place.

Mr. Matthews thinks that Hazel will be rejected. NO ACTION BY ROCHESTER BAR. P.richester. N.

June (Special). At a meet- Ing of the Rochester Bar Association this afternoon a resolution to take no action on the appointment of John R. Hazel was adopted by a vote of to 32. The reason for this determination lay in the conflicting- statement? concerning' his eligibility. Resolutions condemning the method of th- appointment, but not the personal character of Mr.

Hazel, were prepared, but were not presented. BAB. POMMTTI FOR CAPITAL. BEFORE SENATE ECIART THE ASSOCIATION'S ACTION ON HAZEL. John E.

m. to-day. Many in this city said that the personnel of the Bar Association's committee vas proof that the opposition to Mr. was not due to factional or political fr.nuences. £very member of the committee, it declared, was above suspicion of political intriirue.

The committee, it was said, should be able to convince the Judiciary Committee of the Senate that the opposition to Mr. HazH rested entirely on the grounds stated in the report to the Bar Association. It was remarked by some of the lawyers yesterday that the only in favor of Mr. Hazel's a.ppctntrn«:r.t heard at the Bar Association's meeting on Thumiay evening were made by Republican politicians who are supposed to be extremely anxious to keep gonatcr Platt's favor and to be r.urplng hopes for appointment to Judicial positions. The attempt of John Sa'nlne Smith to create the irr.preseion that a factional political fight was the only basis for opposition to Mr.

Hazel, It was said yesterday, was like an echo of Senator Platt's declaration that opposition to himself was all that was back of the opposition to Mr. Hazel's appoints snent. The V.elief was expressed by many law em of the city that the opposition of rhe Bar Association, to the opposition of members of bar in Buffalo, wouid cause President McKinley to withdraw Mr. Hazel's nomination. In that way.

it was the President might prevent a controversy that In the en 3 would be damaging to some Republican leaders. CONSTRUCTOR BOWIJBB WON'T TALK.

NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. BATUKDAY. TUNE 2. 1000. BRYAX OX THE A DENUNCIATION OF BOUND MONEY, IMPERIALISM AND TRUSTS.

"The issue presented in the campaign of 1900 is the issue between plutocracy and Democracy." With these words William J. Bryan begins an article in the June number of "The North American Review" on "The Issues in the Presidential Campaign." Continuing his opening paragraph, he says: "All the questions under discussion will, in their last analysis, disclose the conflict between the dollar and the a conflict as old as the human race, and one which will continue as long as the human race endures." Throughout his article Mr. Bryan reveals no tendency to lose sight of the money question. On this subject he says, among other things: Since ISu6 the same sordid doctrine that manifesitKl ltsel;" in tne. gold standard has muniieiied itself In several new ways, and to-day three, questions contest for the money question, ihe trust question, ami imperialism.

There are several tiler questions of scarcely less importance, but the lines of division upon these run practically parallel with the lines which separate the people upon the three greater ones. The contest between monometallism ana bimetallism is a worid wide con-est which must go on until silver is once more a money metal equal with gold, or until the gold standard becomes universal. He takes a very narrow view or the subject who considers merely the present volume or money in this country, it is true that we have largely Increased our supply or gold in the lasi three years (the Republicans neither promised nor expected the increase), but the acuon of England in placing India upon the gold standard ie likely to cause a drain on the gold supply or ihe Uuited States and of European countries. The gold blanket must now be stretched to cover nearly three hundred million people in Southern Asia, and China has yei to be considered. is needless to discuss mo ratio, since tneio is no "division of Beniimtini among those who are trying to secure bimetallism.

rhere is a no--itlve earnest and active force behind preseni ratio of sixteen to one; there is no DOSitive earnest or active force behind any other Neither is It any longer necessary to international bimetallism. The contest this auction mast be between those srho believe in the gold standard on the one and. on the o-'ier side who believe in a financial policy made by the American people for themselves. THE HIGH TARIFF AND TRUSTS. Mr Bryan does not believe Republican party can be relied upon to deal with the trust question.

He bays: high tariff has been a bulwark to the trusts. Foreign competition was first excluded, and then doS competition was destroyed not only not tion but the Republican party is not only not u-vta- to reform the tariff in the interest of the but it boa.ts of the Dingley law as a "an do much action is necessary to complete the deatructor of the trusts. A State can prevent the orea'ion of a monopoly within its borders, and can also excluae a foreign monopoly. But ihis remedy Ts not sufficient; cor if a monopoly really exists anc is prevented from doing business any State eople of thai Slate will be deprived of the Siai paruculax articla until It can with the State. Inatead of shULLing a monopoly out of one State and living it fortyfour States to do business in, we should shut it up in the State of its origin and take the other fortyfour away from it.

This can be done by an act of Congress making it necessary for a corporation organized in any Slate to take oat a license from the Federal Government before doing business outside of that State, the license not to Interfere however, with regulations imposed by other states Buch a license, granted only upon evidence that there is no water in the stock of the corporation, and that it has not attempted and Is riot, attemptring to monopolize any branch of business or the on of any article of merchandise, would compel the dissolution of existing monopolies and prevent the creation of new ones. THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION. discussing the Philippine question he says: The Philippine question is even Plainer than the trust question, and those who will be ben en ted. by an imperial policy are even less in numbej than those who may be led to believe that they 'would share in the benefits of a gold standard or of a private monopoly. Here again the Republicans dare not outline their policy.

When the present Congress was elected, in IMS, the Treaty of Peace had not yet been signed. No definite issue was bofore the country, and Ihe people could not sit judgment upon the purposes of the Administration. When treaty was ratified, in February followin" it was expressly declared by several Republican' Senators that 'the ratification of the treaty did not determine the policy of the Government, but merely concluded the war with Spain. rho McEnery resolution, adopted by the votes of Republican Senators, declared that it was the sense of the Senate that the Philippine Islands should never become an part of the United States, but left the policy open for future consideration. If the Filipino is 10 be under our domination he must be either citizen or subject- If he is to be a el'izen It must be with a view to participating ultimately in our government and in the makingof our laws.

Not only U.this idea negatived by the resolution, but it is openly repudiated by every Republican leader who has discussed the subject. If the Filipino Is to be a subject our form of government must h- entirely changed. A republic can have no subjects. The doctrine that a people can be kept in a state of perpetual vassalage, owing allegiance to the flag, but having no voice in the government, is entirely at variance with the principles upon which this Government has been founded. An imperial policy nullifies every principle set forth in the Declaration of Porto Rican tariff law illustrates this new doctrine.

The Sag is separated from the Constitution, and the Porto Ricana are notified chat they must obey the lawn made for them and pay the taxes levied upon them, and yet have no "hare En our Bill of Rights or In the guarantees of our 1 onstitution. No monarch or tyrant In all history exercised more despotic power than the Republicans now claim for the President and SEES NOTHING BUT GLOOM. "What Is to be the end? Can any thoughtful person believe that these conditions promise well a renublic" A.re we not following in the of Rome as described by Froude: To make money. by any means, lawful or unlawful, became the universal passion. Money! The cry was still money! Money was the one thought from the highest Senator to the poorest who sola Els vote in "he Comil l.

Instead of regarding the recent assault upon constitutional the attempted overthrow of American as a matter of destiny we may rather consider it as fee last the" slaying of the first born, which will end the bondage of the American people and bring deliverance from the Pharaohs who are enthroning Mammon and debasing mankind. ODELL RETURNB HOME. TO STFTET SENATOR PI.ATT AND OTHERS IX TO-DAT-THE GOVERNOR MAY BE PRESENT. Colonel Fox. the secretary of the Republican State Committee, talked over the long-distance telephone with Chairman Odell yesterday, and learned that Mr.

Odell had returned from his trip to California and was at his home in Newburg. Mr Odell said he would be at the headquarters In the Fifth Avenue Hotel to-day. Senator Platt is expected to be at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to-day to talk with Mr. Odell and other Republican politicians. Governor Roosevelt, who was in the city again yesterday, but kept away from headquarters, is expected to meet Senator Platt and Mr.

Odell about the appointment of a new Civil Service Commissioner. General Francis V. Greene, who is to be elected president of the Republican County Committee on June 21. may be among the men who will see Mr. Odell to-day.

It was reported yesterday that Lieutenant Governor Woodruff had planned to meet Mr. Odell on hie return to headquarters and ask for the support of the Republican organization in his canvass tor Vice-Presidency Chairman Odell will find plenty of business to engage his attention after his play spell. DAX FORTH SI ED FOR TAJ FEES: MAX BATE HE HAD AGREEMENT TO GET A THIRD OF THE AMOUNT RECEIVED. George N. Webster has brought an action In the Supreme Court to recover $832 62 from Elliot Danforth.

ex-chairman of the Democratic State Committee, which he alleges Danforth owes him under an agreement for having furnished him with information which resulted in Danforth's designation by the State Controller to assist the City controller in collecting the transfer tax on the estate of William H. King. Justice McAdam yesterday denied an application on the part of plaintiff to place the case on the preferred cause calendar holding that it would occupy more than two hours to try. The agreement was made in April, 1597. and Webster says he immediately informed Danforth thiit tae estato of William H.

King was subject to the Inheritance tax Danforth collected $30,378 70. Webster says third of the commission wan $1,012 62. of which he has received only $130, and he wants the balance.

Another friend of the Tammany chief said that Mr. Croker had engaged passage on the American Line steamship St. Louis, which is scheduled to sail from Southampton on June 14. was added that he had purchased .1 ticket for Khe New-York, which was to sail on the but that whea 'his vessel became disabled and the Kensington, a slow steamer, had taken its place.

VICE BOOMS.

SOME OF THE GOSSIP HEARD IN WASHINGTON. Washington. June- 1 Reviewing some of the recent gossip about Republican Vice-Presidential candidates, "The Star" says this afternoon: The Dolliver boom is having a famous run in the House. It has reached the point where Mr. Doliiver may properly be called the House candidate for Vice-Presidency, as Senator Fairbanks is the Senate candidate.

How serious the candidacy of either may be is yet to be developed. Dolliver is l. right sociable fellow, of an attractive oratorical temperament, having about the same standing a. a. jpeaiior in the House that Wolcott has in the Senate.

He is very popular among his associates, and a. very large number of the Republicans in the House from various sections of the country have declared their preference for him as a running mate for McKinley. Some of these declarations are no more than amiable expressions of friendship for a mar, whom they regard as a "good reLow. but a good deal of the booming is in serious earneat. and the young lowa orator has been pushed high, up in the list of Vice-Presidential possibilities.

Long's candidacy ta still regarded among the knowing one? as perr he strongest yet developed, but the friends rer say taat his name has attained as a a in favor as has that of the Secretary. With reference to Mr. Fairbanks' 3 candidacy, appears to be a strong tendency Republican Senators to further his ambition, but it is said that he seems himself to be doubtful as to his own wishes In the matter, and that he has not yet given any special encouragement to those who are disposed to boom him if he. desires it. Republicans in Congress are somewhat puzzled to understand the moaning of the persistent effort to bring Bartlett Tripp's name Into prominence a-? a Vice-Presidential candidate.

Pome Western men have received a number of letters urging the availability of Trip-p. The basis of the argument for Tripp is that the continued support of the antisilver Democrats la essential to Republican success In the intermountain ar.d Pacific Cofesr- Stares, and that the nomination of Tnpp. who a Gold Democrat before becoming a Republican, will Insure the support of the Gold, Democrats. This argument does not seem to make any impression upon the Republican leaders at who say they do not nee any evidence of a. purpose on the part of the Gold Democrats to interfere with the making of the Republican ticket.
