Silver Democrats Formulate Placs ^ 3PNbr the Campaign. Besnlt of Their Conference at Washington —Text of an Address and Series of * Resolutions Adopted—Work ^' . y 'of Organisation. •WASHINGTON, Aug. 1G.—-The corridors of the Metropolitan hotel were crowded early Wednesday with delegates to the "** conference of silver democrats called to meet there for the purpose of agreeing upon a line of policy to be pursued in the interest of silver in the demo- cratic party. While the call for tha conference issued by Senators Harris, Tnrpie and Jones, of Arkansas, did not specify the hour, the meeting was post- poned until noon. The meeting was called to order at 12 o'clock by Senator Harris, who moved that Senator Jones, of Arkansas, be made chairman and William C. flin- richsen, of Illinois, secretary. This was done. Senator Jones, in opening, 6aid that the conference had met in accordance with the call, which ex- plained its purpose. He wanted to see a silver militia organized to cope with the gold forces. The roll call showed nineteen states represented, with the following number of delegates: Virginia, 15, West Virginia, 2, Arkansas. 3, Colorado, 3, South Carolina, 1; North Caro- lina. 8; Illinois, 14, Florida, 4: Tennessee, 4 Alabama, 4, Ohio. 1. Georgia, *, Missouri, 14, Indiana, 2, Delaware. 1; Maryland, 8, Ken- tucky, 1; Mississippi, 1, and North Dakota, 1. On motion of Senator Daniel, of Vir- ginia, the chairman appointed the fol- lowing committee to prepare a pro- gramme of proceedings and resolu- tions, and report the same to the con- ference at an adjourned meeting to be held at 4 p. m, Missouri, Gov Stone and R M Hill: North Carolina, Senator Jarvis, Illinois, W H.

Senior Daniel, in accord- ance with the agreement reached by the committee on programme, reported progress and asked that the confer- ence adjourn until 10 o'clock Thurs- day morning, at which time they ex- pected to be able to report resolutions and an address to the party. The re- quest of Senator Daniel met prompt compliance and the conference ad- journed until 10 o'clock to-dav. When the committee reports were announced as complete shortly before noon, Senator Jones took the chair and Gov. Jones, of Missouri, presented the address. He announced that it was substantially the same as that par- tially adopted by the Texas silver con- vention and adopted in toto by the Mississippi convention. WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—Without a dissenting voice the delegates to the silver conference on Thursday adopted free coinage resolutions, appointed a provisional committee to perfect a national organization, made speeches anything but complimentary of the administration and adjourned sine die. The Address. The main portion of the address fol- lows: After explaining the call for the conference and declaring that it was "purely a voluntary assemblage and therefore does not speak with party authority" it proceeds as foUowa. "Profoundly conscious that the domoorditfo party to-day confronts a crisis the most momentous In its history and fraught with far-reaching peril to the people and the country, we are assembled as Individual democrats to take counsel together and for the undisguised purpose of inaugurating and promoting a thorough and systematic organi- sation of the democratic masses, so that they may go forward as one man with a resolute purpose to rescue the old party, founded by Thomas Jefferson, from plutocratic domina- tion. "Therefore, with this object in view, this convention of American democrats, composed of representatives from twenty-two of the leading states of the union, make the following declaration on the monetary question which has been forced into the leading place imong the Issues of to-day. The federal consti- tution names silver and gold together as the money metal of the United States The first coinage law passed by congress under the con- stitution made the silver dollar the unit of value and admitted gold to free coinage at a ratio measured by the silver dollar unit "From the beginning of the government, fol- lowing a pulley formulated by Thomas Jeffer- son and firmly established by Jackson the democratic party has been the party of bimet- allism favoring the free coinage of both stiver and gold at the national mints and opposed to farming out to banking corporations the government's sovereign power of issuing and controlling the money of the peopla » *. Act of 1873. %> *> "The act of 1873 demonetizing silver was surreptitiously passed without the approval or knowledge of the American people, and from the time when the effect of this act in fastening upon this country the single gold standard was understood the democratic party has consistently and persistently urged that the grievous wrong be righted. "Failure to accomplish this object has re- sulted in the steady appreciation of gold and a corresponding fall In the price of commodities produced by the people, a heavy lncrease.iathe burden of all debts, public and private; -the enrichment of the money-lending class, paralysis of industry and the impoverishment of the people and unexampled distress in all gold standard countries. Experience has shown that while under the single gold stand- ard there may be an occasional revival of business activity accompanied by enhanced prices of ft limited number of commodities, suoh revival Is due to artificial and temporary causes and cannot permanently alleviate the sufferings due to the falling of prices brought about by the appreciation of gold and the in- adequate supply of primary or redemption money. \ "The rights of the American people, the in- terests of American labor and the prosperity of American industry have a higher claim to the consideration of the people's lawmakers than the greed of foreign creditors or the avarleious demands made by 'Idle holders of Idle capital.* , , An Inalienable Bight, ^f*t§ "The right to regulate its own monetary system in the interest of its own people Is a right which no free government can barter, sell or surrender This reserved right is a part of every bond, of every contract and of every obligation. No creditor or olalmant can set up a right that can take prece- dence over a nation's obligations to promote the welfare of the masses of its people. This Is a debt higher and more binding than all other debts and one that it is not only dishon- est but treasonable to Ignore. "The land and its products are the basis of all developments and prosperity. The pro- ductive capacity ot a country must be the basis of its credit In opposing tbepolioyof contraction, which must inevitably depreci- ate the values of land and Its products, we are the supporters of property rights and sound credit and stand between the homes and estates of the people and the red flag of the auctioneer. *, "The policy of gold monometallism hasb«en characterized by repeated and disastrous financial panics. The farmers have found thetaprosperlty and independence constantly waning under its blighting Influences,." "Manufacturers are Interested to oppose it, for they find the price of sale falling below the cost of production. Merchants should op- pose it, for with the falling 7 prices they are often compelled to sell for less than they paid for manufactured goods. Neither manu- facturer nor merobant can prosper unless the mass'Of consumers realize such prices tor their products and labor and supply themselves liberally with the necessities and luxuries of life, nor can the wage earner prosper, for under depressed conditions there is less and less competition for his labor. 0 Traditional Friend of Bimetallism. $&& "The democratic party Is the traditional friend and champion of bimetallism. Its strength and power and popularity has been largely built upon its steadfast opposition-to the demonetization of silver and <ts record of unwearied effort to restore it to its historic place as a money metal equal with gold, The effort at this late day to make it par excellence the champion of gold mono- metallism, the enemy ot the poHcy It has up- held, and the defender ot the crime It has denounced, is an effort to dishonor Its record, its promises and its principles. put moment the democratic party is foreed into this position it heaps obloquy oA its own past and crowns its great adversary with glory and honor. "Duty to the people requires that the party of the people continue the battle for bimetal- lism until the efforts are crowned with suc- cess: therefore, be it "Resolved, That the democratic party in na- tional convention assembled should demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold into primary or redemption money at the ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the action or approval of any other nation. "Resolved, That It should declare its irre- vocable opposition to the substitution for a metallic money of a panic-breeding corpora- tion credit currency, based on a single metal, the supply of which is so limited that it can be cornered at any time by a few banking in- stitutions in Europe and America • Resolved. That it should declare its oppo- sition to the policy and practice of surrender- ing to the holders of the obligations of the United States the option reserved by the law to the government of redeeming such obliga- tions in either silver coin or gold cola "Resolved, That it should declare its opposi- tion to the issuing of Interest-bearing bonds in the United States in time of peace and espe- cially to placing the treasury of the govern- ment under the control ot any syndicate ot bankers and the issuance of bonds to be sold by them at an enormous profit for the purpose of supplying the federal treasury with gold to maintain the policy of gold monometallism. "With a view to securing the adherence to a re-adoptlon of the democratic financial policy above set forth by the democratic national convention to be assembled in 1896 and of the nomination of a candidate for the presi- dency, well known to be in hearty sympathy therewith, we hereby pledge our mutual cooperation, and urgently recommend to democratic brethren in all the states to at once begin and vigorously and systematically prosecute the work of a thorough organiza- tion, and to this end the adoption of the plan of organization herewith submitted is recom- mended." Mr. Hill, of Missouri, moved the adoption of the" address and resolu- tions, which were agreed to by a unan- imous vote. "* "^ Plan of Reorganization. The plan of organization recom- mended by the committee was outlined to the conference as follows: ' Believing that a large majority of the dem- ocratic voters of the United States are in har- mony with the sent ments expressed in the foregoing address and knowing that a full and free expression of their views can only be as- certained and made effective through proper organization, we recommend the following plan of organization: "First—There shall be a national committee of democrats who are in favor of both gold and siher as the money of the constitution, which shall be composed of one democrat from each state and the executive committee herein- after provided for "Second—That until otherwise ordered by the national committee, Senators Harris, of Tennessee. Jones of Arkansas Turpie of In- diana, and Hon W. J Stone, of Missouri, and Hoa W. H. Hinrichsen, of Illinois, be and are hereby constituted the executive committee and shall have full power and authority and it shall be their duty at as early a day as possi- ble to appoint the members of the national committee herein provided for and tofillva- cancies in the same. "Third—That said executive committee shall have full control and direction of the patriotic effort of the blmetallio democrats of the natiou to secure in the next democratic convention the maintenance of the time-honored princi- ples and policies of the democratic party " After adopting the address and reso- lutions, and the plan of reorganization, the silver conference at 12:45 p. m. ad- journed sine die. MADE NEW RECORDS. Fred Titus and H. C Tyler Make Wonder- fol Bicycle Time. NEW YORK, Aug. 16. —The bicycle tournament held at the Manhattan Beach track Wednesday developed sen- sational record-breaking performances in the amateur and professional ranks. Fred J. Titus, of New York, the famous crack of the Spalding team.lowered the world's amateur competition record for 10 miles. Be covered the distance in 20 minutes, 58 4-5 seconds, beating the previous record of 21 minutes, 35 3-5 seconds by Harry Maddox, oi Asbury Park, by 40 4-5 seconds. H. C. Tyler, of Springfield, Mass., lowered Burden's world's professional 1-mile record of 1 minute 50 2-5 sec- onds, covering the distance in 1 min- ute 49 2-5 seconds. He went on for the 2-mile record, from which he clipped 2-5 of a second, his time being 3 min- utes 56 seconds. The tournament was in aid of the New York Herald free ice fund and between 3,000 and 4,000 peo- ple attended the sport. A LIGHT SENTENCE.%~ W. W. Taylor, South Dakota's Defaulting Treasurer, Gets Five Years. PIERRE, a D„ Aug. 16.—Ex-State Treasurer \V. W. Tayloi was Wednes- day morning sentenced to five years in the penitentiary at Sioux Falls by Judge Gaffy. The court room was crowded when judgment was pronounced on the of- fending state treasurer. In a low voice the defendant, in reply to the question if he had anything to say, said: "I have not." The court then reviewed the crime and the statutes bear- ing on the case. He considered the much-discussed section void and inti- mated that the two-year sentence was not intended to cover such a case. The worst part of Taylor's crime, in the estimation of the judge, was that he had tried to force a compromise after getting his hand on all the state funds he could. __ _, ' t A HERO'S FATE.

The sac- rifice of Mr. Hovenden's life was use- less, because the child that he at- tempted to save also met her death be- neath the wheels of the same engine. IThomas Hovenden was one of the leading artists of Amerloa. He was still in the com* paratlve prime of his intellectual vigor and artistic skill, being but GO years of age. His best-known painting. ^'Breaking Home Ties," has been engraved probably more than the work of any other American artist, and is a familiar object on the walls of thou sands of homes in the United States. Th* painting was one of the most notable of the American groups at the worlds fair. Mr. Hovenden leaves a wife, but no children. 1 1} mS\ lii-eaches New York. -^ ^J NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—Valkyrie til* has arrived. The boat which Lord Dunraven has built to wrest the Amer- ica's cup and the yachting supremacy from Yankeedom, is at anchor in New York harbor. After encountering heavy seas and considerable head winds since her departure from Gourock bay, Scotland, on July 27, the cup challenger arrived at Sandy Hook lightship at 7:10 o'clock Sunday even- ing, on her twenty-second day out. _ _ ^ _ _ _ _ "§-« Forest Fires In British Columbia. ^' SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 20.—Three Forks, a little mining camp in the Slo- can country in British Columbia, was entirely wiped out ysby the fierce forest fires whichK!^ continue to rage with unabated fury throughout the country north and east of here. The inhabitants left everything and fled for their lives. Reported Battle. "*^ v * NEW YORK, Jtajr.* 20.^-A^ letter *ju«k received in Trenton, N. J., says that a bloody battle occurred on August 3 at Straun creek and Mullins river, about 30 miles south of Belize, in British Honduras. The trouble arose over an attempt of English farmers to build p railroad from their plantations to the coast through the Carib reservations. An Outlaw Killed. SERGEANT, Ky., Aug. 16.—John Hop- kins, of Beaver, Floyd county, was waylaid and shot Wednesday evening by George Eunypn, % neighbor. Hop- kins has been feared more than any man in this vicinity. He has been practically an outlaw for years and his death is rejoiced in by the community. DENVER, Col., Aug. 20.—The Gumry hotel, Nos. 1725 to 1733 Lawrence street, was wrecked by a terrific explosion at 12:10 o'clock a. m. The rear half of the building, a five-story brick and stone structure, went down with a crash. The hotel was crowded with guests and many of them must have been killed, as well as the entire force of hotel employes, who were Bleeping in the portion of tbe'building which fell. On both sides of Lawrence, from Sev- enteenth to Eighteenth street, and on Larimer, directly back of the Gumry, the plate glass windows of the busi- ness houses were blown in and a num- ber of pedestrians were injured by fall- ing glass. The fronts of many build- ings in the vicinity were badly wrecked. r * * **•* ? A Mass of Ruins. The hotel structure for 100 feet along the alley and extending 75 feet toward the front is a mass of debris. Brick and plaster are piled in heaps 20 feet high, and from this mass of wreckage can be heard the moans of the injured ai»d dying. At 12:35 five injured persons had been taken out. They were all in- mates of the upper story, and sank down with the floors, escaping more fortunately than those above, who are still buried in the ruins. Forty Probably Dead. By some estimates forty people were in the portion of the hotel, destroyed, nearly all of whom must be dead. It will be late before a full list can be ob- tained. The cause of the explosion is uncer- tain, but it is supposed that the bat- tery of the boilers in the hotel base- ment exploded. The sound of the explosion was heard throughout the city, awakening people in bed a mile from the scene. A cloud of dust was thrown a thousand feet in the air, and as there is not a breath of air stirring it still hangs in the air like a huge column. Minute atoms of pow- dered brick and mortar are descending like gentle snow. At 12:50 the ruins were burning fiercely and the firemen were obliged to retreat from the work of rescue. Every engine in the city was pouring streams into the mass, but it was evi- dent the flames could not possibly be gotten under control before many of the Injured had been cremated. Awful Cries of the Victims. As their chances of escape lessened the cries of the imprisoned people in- creased, heartrending shrieks rising from every portion of the great mass of wreckage. v s * A MONTH LATE ~ -I lllMJESIjrA NEWS, ff ^ Discharged. ^ * EdwMf P. Long, a local jeweler; N. J. Stelcben, a Igfmber dealer, and H. C. Ervin, secretary of the Irleston Milling company, were on trial in Judge Mar- tin's court at St. Cloud on a charge of disturbing the peace one night recently, at which time some 50 bicyclists, among whom this trio took a prominent part, "playing horse" with the new bicycle ordinance, by promeaading the streets of the city on wheels, with cow bells, and otherwise making the night air ring with shouts of defiance. The trio dem inded a jury trial and a list of 30 was gone through before the 12 were selected. Both the prosecution and de- fense had able attorneys and the case was fought for all there was in it. The case was given to the jury and in half an hour a verdict of not guilty was brought in. Wheelmen are jubilant and feel that they have scored a big point. The case will cost the city in the neighboi hood of 8100. -• The Park. The Minnesota commission appointed to report on the proposed interstate park has been in session at Taylor's h alls and finished its work. The sec- retary, George H. Hazzard, said that the commission would file its report with the governor and state auditor Monday. It is reported that there were 301 different pieces of property to be acquired, making 110 acres, and that there were 487 different owners of the land to be condemned, and that the assessments to these amounts to less than $6,000. This makes Rep- resentative Aug. Anderson, Senator F. A. Hodge and the local park committee feel good, as it proves the truth of their respective representations to the as- sessed valuation for taxation purposes, which was $6,400, which included 12 or IS houses with many other structures. Increase of Insanity. Secretary Hart, of the state board of corrections and charities, figured up ihe increase in insanity in this state lince 1863. He finds that the state had out 11 insane people in that year. It ioubled in the following four years, again in the next five years. Doubled a third time in the next seven years, and in the last period it has taken nine years to double. Altogether it has doubled eight times since Minnesota became a state. The population of the asylums at the end of the last fiscal year was 2,781. Labor Convention. Labor Commissioner Powers has is- tued the call for the 11th annual con- vention of the national association of the officials of bureaus of labor statis- tics and kindred offices in the United States. The convention will be held at Minneapolis, Sept. 17 to 19. Addresses will be delivered by Hon. Can oil D. Wright, president of the association, and by Gov. C ough, Mayor Pratt, of Minneapolis; Hon VV. \V. Folwell, Hon. H. G. Wadin, of Massachuset*; Hon. H. EL Hart, of St. Paul, and others. Preuent Midsummer Dullness In Trade Was Due In July. Nsw YORK, Aug. 17.—R. G. Dun & Co. in their weekly review of trade say: "1% is a belated season, a frozen May set everything back The heavy business which ouKbt to have been done In May and June was pushed Into Julv, so that the midsummer de- cline due in July comes in August. With this in mind, one Is not surprised to find the shrinkage from July to August rather more conspicuous than usuaL Financial events are used in speculative markets to create apprehension. Exports of gold have con- tinued this week, and while the syndicate has deposited enough In the treasury to keep the reserve intact, the impression grows that another sale of bonds may be made. Exports are falling below last year's, in two weeks of August, $3,300 000, or iO per cent, while imports show a small increase ot 6V4 per cent. Government receipts for half of August are ST.ISI ,3C6 less than expenses. The disap- pointing irop reports of last Saturday, though evidently distrusted, lessen confidences in re- gard to the future of trade, even while some speculators g-ln by them Back of all doubts is the tact that the industries are doing better than anybody could have expected. "Actual consumption of pig-iron Is large and prices rise in the face of the Increasing output. ' Sales indicate that domestic wool Is large- ly held for speculation at prices about a cent higher than manufacturers feel able to pay. "Shipments ol boots and shoes have fallen almost to last j ear's figures for August thus far, and orders are as yet bcanty for the new season, but prices are firm, and leather does not change, though tanners decline to pay cur- rent quotations—*X to 10 cents—tor western hides. "CropreDorts modified expectations as to cotton and wheat, and cotton speculators have bought, lilting the price five-sixteenths while wheat, with more e\ ldence of loss in yield has decltned 1% According to govern- ment reports the crop of each would be about two-thirds of the maximum "The stock market has been quite inactive, with a trifling decline both in railroads and trust stocks as a whole, largely influenced from day to day by financial rumors.

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.—Holmes' notori- ous ''castle," Sixty-third and Wallace streets, the place of murder and mys- tery, was almost destroyed by fire early this morn|ng/ttta Avails and part of the roof alone remaining. The ori- gin of the blaze is almost as much a mystery as that of the one which par- tially wrecked it several years ago. Just after midnight three explosions w ( ere heard and immediately fire burst from the windows^ What caused the explosions is a mystery. The loss will be $25,000.

Horses stand- ing on the streets were knocked sense- less. The corn crop is totally de- fctroyedjV BrceHer Wauted. Application has been made for the appointment of a receiver for the Stand- ard Ore Company of Dnluth. Recently the Standard Company assigned to the Minnesota Iron Company, who held a slaim of $55,000 against its leases of two valuable iton mining properties, the Cincinnati and the Hale mines. The creditors now claim that this was done to give the Minnesota Iioin Com- pany a preference, and have petitioned the court to set the leases aside. Suits Begun. The county commissioners have com- menced suit against the insolvent Citi- zens' Bank of Redwood Falls, and the sureties on the bank's bond, for a little over $3,000, money on deposit to the credit of the county at the time the bank closed its doors. All of the bonds- men appear to be willing to make good the county's claim as soon as it is learned what the insolvent bank will pay. The bank is in the hands of the Northern Trust Company, of Minne- polis. Kewi in Brier. While engaged in digging the race for the dam at St. Hilaiie a few days ago, the workmen unearthed what may prove a valuable find. It was found in large quantities and is probab- ly mica, although experts have not yet passed on it. The substance is as clear as crystal, and has the micacious facul- ty of splitting in sheets. The mineral was struck about 10 feet from the sur- face, and is supposed to be plentiful, as it was thrown out by the workmen in great pieces. The Duluth, Missaba & Northern Railway Company filed its special re- port with the secretaiy of the state, showing the number of shares of stock issued up to the 31st of July, as being 25,125. During last year there were issued 58 1*3 shares at par value to pay for services rendered, amounting to$5,- 883.33. The threshing engine boiler of an outfit owned by Joseph Cartier, ex- ploded three miles from Hugo, Anoka county. Cartier was literally torn to pieces and his father fatally injured.

August Lahti, a Finn trainman at the Aurora mine at Virginia, was killed by being buried by a fall of ore caused by a blast ^ » ? ^ The earnings of the state grain in- spection department for July amounted t o $9,710.86. The school board of Rochester has purchased for $5,000 the business col- lege for the use of the high school, which has been much overcrowded in its present quarters. Chris Weiner, a watchman on the Northern King, made a bold and brutal assault on Marie Rocco, an Italian emi- grant, after the arrival of the vessel at Duluth. % J, K. Harris, who was arrested in Winona last week, was given 20 days in the county jail at Red Wing for ob- taining money under false pretenses. There is but little doubt that he is the man wanted in New York, and for whose arrest $2,500 reward is offered. Hilyer Finger, a section hand on the C. M. <fc St. P. Road, was run over by a freight train and his left leg was so badly crushed that amputation was found necessary. The accident hap- pened at Grand Crossing, near Winona. He is 52 years old and has a wife and five children. * *. 2 ife«*lE The Duluth, Mississippi & Northern Railroad Company, which has a line of road on the western Mesaba range, filed a trust deed at Duluth, for $2,500,000.

PROF. MCCOOK, of Yale, has been lecturing on "the pathological aspect of the tramp " He finds ti amps won­derfully healthy as a class, and not so vicious a s their appearance would indi­cate. The tramp life may be healthy for the tramper, but it is anything but good for the country or the people.

A N interesting feature of the ap­pointment of a woman sheriff in Missoun is the fact that in the court­room it wil l be her duty to order all hats off If the duties of feminine sheriffs could be extended to places of amusement a feminine sheriff would be chosen in many places where now a mere man holds the office

The value of the discovery comes in the fact that copper offers greater re­sistance to the action of salt water than any other metal

FOR several years Walter Wmans, of Baltimore, has held the revolver cham­pionship of England, which is decided each year at the Risley National Rifle association meeting. At the meeting for this yeai Mr ^ mans again won it, Mr. Joynt, the Irish champion, being second, and Lieut Chitty, the chain pion of India, third. Mr. \ \ inans also made the four best scores on record, two of them being the highest possi­ble, and ten fhst prizes altogether fall to him.

T H E singular story comes from the other side of the Atlantic that the per-Bistent drought has resulted in injury to all crops in Great Britain, the con­ditions being worse than any experi­enced since "the black year 1879" Usually the damage is the other way. The crops suffer from too much moist­ure instead of from lack of it, the posi­tion of the British Islands, right in tho sweep of winds that have blown over the Gulf stream, causing the at­mosphere of those islands to be nor­mally surcharged with moisture.

Besnlt of Their Conference at Washington —Text of an Address and Series of

* Resolutions Adopted—Work ^' .y 'of Organisation.

•WASHINGTON, Aug. 1G.—-The corridors of the Metropolitan hotel were crowded early Wednesday wi th delegates to the "** conference of silver democrats called to meet there for the purpose of agreeing upon a line of policy to be pursued in the interest of silver in the demo­cratic party. While the call for tha conference issued by Senators Harris, Tnrpie and Jones, of Arkansas, did not specify the hour, the meeting was post­poned until noon.

The meeting was called to order at 12 o'clock by Senator Harris, who moved that Senator Jones, of Arkansas, be made chairman and William C. flin-richsen, of Illinois, secretary. This was done. Senator Jones, in opening, 6aid that the conference had met in accordance with the call, which ex­plained its purpose. He wanted to see a silver militia organized to cope with the gold forces. The roll call showed nineteen states represented, with the following number of delegates:

Virginia, 15, West Virginia, 2, Arkansas. 3, Colorado, 3, South Carolina, 1; North Caro­lina. 8; Illinois, 14, Florida, 4: Tennessee, 4 Alabama, 4, Ohio. 1. Georgia, *, Missouri, 14, Indiana, 2, Delaware. 1; Maryland, 8, Ken­tucky, 1; Mississippi, 1, and North Dakota, 1.

On motion of Senator Daniel, of Vir­ginia, the chairman appointed the fol­lowing committee to prepare a pro­gramme of proceedings and resolu­tions, and report the same to the con­ference at an adjourned meeting to be held a t 4 p. m,

Missouri, Gov Stone and R M Hill: North Carolina, Senator Jarvis, Illinois, W H. Hinrichsen; Indiana, A. W. Clarke Georgia, ex-Senator Walsh, Alabama, J. F. Johnson. Tennessee, E M Carmack Virginia, Senator Daniel; Kentuoky, W Woodson, Colorado, A. Newell; North Dakota, W. R. Bierby. Ohio, P. S. Yoder. Delaware, J F. Sanesbury. Maryland, M M. Pullman; Mississippi, W. S. Stocksdale. South Caro­lina, J. F. Trentlen, West Virginia, J. J. Cromwell; Texas, ex-Representative Hare, Arkansas, Senator Jones, and Florida, J. S. Beard.

The conference reassembled at 4 o'clock. S e n i o r Daniel, in accord­ance with the agreement reached by the committee on programme, reported progress and asked that the confer­ence adjourn until 10 o'clock Thurs­day morning, at which time they ex­pected to be able to report resolutions and an address to the party. The re­quest of Senator Daniel met prompt compliance and the conference ad­journed until 10 o'clock to-dav.

When the committee reports were announced as complete shortly before noon, Senator Jones took the chair and Gov. Jones, of Missouri, presented the address. He announced that it was substantially the same as that par­tial ly adopted by the Texas silver con­vention and adopted in toto by the Mississippi convention.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—Without a dissenting voice the delegates to the silver conference on Thursday adopted free coinage resolutions, appointed a provisional committee to perfect a national organization, made speeches anything but complimentary of the administration and adjourned sine die.

The Address. The main portion of the address fol­

lows: After explaining the call for the conference

and declaring that it was "purely a voluntary assemblage and therefore does not speak with party authority" it proceeds as foUowa. "Profoundly conscious that the domoorditfo party to-day confronts a crisis the most momentous In its history and fraught with far-reaching peril to the people and the country, we are assembled as Individual democrats to take counsel together and for the undisguised purpose of inaugurating and promoting a thorough and systematic organi­sation of the democratic masses, so that they may go forward as one man with a resolute purpose to rescue the old party, founded by Thomas Jefferson, from plutocratic domina­tion.

"Therefore, with this object in view, this convention of American democrats, composed of representatives from twenty-two of the leading states of the union, make the following declaration on the monetary question which has been forced into the leading place imong the Issues of to-day. The federal consti­tution names silver and gold together as the money metal of the United States The first coinage law passed by congress under the con­stitution made the silver dollar the unit of value and admitted gold to free coinage at a ratio measured by the silver dollar unit

"From the beginning of the government, fol­lowing a pulley formulated by Thomas Jeffer­son and firmly established by Jackson the democratic party has been the party of bimet­allism favoring the free coinage of both stiver and gold at the national mints and opposed to farming out to banking corporations the government's sovereign power of issuing and controlling the money of the peopla » *.

Act of 1873. %> *> "The act of 1873 demonetizing silver was

surreptitiously passed without the approval or knowledge of the American people, and from the time when the effect of this act in fastening upon this country the single gold standard was understood the democratic party has consistently and persistently urged that the grievous wrong be righted.

"Failure to accomplish this object has re­sulted in the steady appreciation of gold and a corresponding fall In the price of commodities produced by the people, a heavy lncrease.iathe burden of all debts, public and private; -the enrichment of the money-lending class, paralysis of industry and the impoverishment of the people and unexampled distress in all gold standard countries. Experience has shown that while under the single gold stand­ard there may be an occasional revival of business activity accompanied by enhanced prices of ft limited number of commodities, suoh revival Is due to artificial and temporary causes and cannot permanently alleviate the sufferings due to the falling of prices brought about by the appreciation of gold and the in­adequate supply of primary or redemption money. \

"The rights of the American people, the in­terests of American labor and the prosperity of American industry have a higher claim to the consideration of the people's lawmakers than the greed of foreign creditors or the avarleious demands made by 'Idle holders of Idle capital.* , , An Inalienable Bight, ^f*t§

"The right to regulate its own monetary system in the interest of its own people Is a right which no free government can barter, sell or surrender This reserved right is a part of every bond, of every contract and of every obligation. No creditor or olalmant can set up a right that can take prece­dence over a nation's obligations to promote the welfare of the masses of its people. This Is a debt higher and more binding than all other debts and one that it is not only dishon­est but treasonable to Ignore.

"The land and its products are the basis of all developments and prosperity. The pro­ductive capacity ot a country must be the basis of its credit In opposing tbepolioyof contraction, which must inevitably depreci­ate the values of land and Its products, we are the supporters of property rights and sound credit and stand between the homes and estates of the people and the red flag of the auctioneer. *,

"The policy of gold monometallism hasb«en characterized by repeated and disastrous financial panics. The farmers have found thetaprosperlty and independence constantly waning under its blighting Influences,."

"Manufacturers are Interested to oppose it, for they find the price of sale falling below the cost of production. Merchants should op­pose it, for with the falling7 prices they are often compelled to sell for less than they paid for manufactured goods. Neither manu­facturer nor merobant can prosper unless the mass'Of consumers realize such prices tor their products and labor and supply themselves liberally with the necessities and luxuries of life, nor can the wage earner prosper, for under depressed conditions there is less and less competition for his labor. 0

Traditional Friend of Bimetallism. $&& "The democratic party Is the traditional

friend and champion of bimetallism. Its strength and power and popularity has been largely built upon its steadfast opposition-to the demonetization of silver and <ts record of unwearied effort to restore it to its historic place as a money metal equal with gold, The effort at this late day to make it par excellence the champion of gold mono­metallism, the enemy ot the poHcy It has up­held, and the defender ot the crime It has denounced, is an effort to dishonor Its record, its promises and its principles. put moment the democratic party is foreed

into this position it heaps obloquy oA its own past and crowns its great adversary with glory and honor.

"Duty to the people requires that the party of the people continue the battle for bimetal­lism until the efforts are crowned with suc­cess: therefore, be it

"Resolved, That the democratic party in na­tional convention assembled should demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold into primary or redemption money at the ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the action or approval of any other nation.

"Resolved, That It should declare its irre­vocable opposition to the substitution for a metallic money of a panic-breeding corpora­tion credit currency, based on a single metal, the supply of which is so limited that it can be cornered at any time by a few banking in­stitutions in Europe and America

• Resolved. That it should declare its oppo­sition to the policy and practice of surrender­ing to the holders of the obligations of the United States the option reserved by the law to the government of redeeming such obliga­tions in either silver coin or gold cola

"Resolved, That it should declare its opposi­tion to the issuing of Interest-bearing bonds in the United States in time of peace and espe­cially to placing the treasury of the govern­ment under the control ot any syndicate ot bankers and the issuance of bonds to be sold by them at an enormous profit for the purpose of supplying the federal treasury with gold to maintain the policy of gold monometallism.

"With a view to securing the adherence to a re-adoptlon of the democratic financial policy above set forth by the democratic national convention to be assembled in 1896 and of the nomination of a candidate for the presi­dency, well known to be in hearty sympathy therewith, we hereby pledge our mutual cooperation, and urgently recommend to democratic brethren in all the states to at once begin and vigorously and systematically prosecute the work of a thorough organiza­tion, and to this end the adoption of the plan of organization herewith submitted is recom­mended."

Mr. Hill, of Missouri, moved the adoption of the" address and resolu­tions, which were agreed to by a unan­imous vote. "* " ^

Plan of Reorganization. The plan of organization recom­

mended by the committee was outlined to the conference as follows:

' Believing that a large majority of the dem­ocratic voters of the United States are in har­mony with the sent ments expressed in the foregoing address and knowing that a full and free expression of their views can only be as­certained and made effective through proper organization, we recommend the following plan of organization:

"First—There shall be a national committee of democrats who are in favor of both gold and siher as the money of the constitution, which shall be composed of one democrat from each state and the executive committee herein­after provided for

"Second—That until otherwise ordered by the national committee, Senators Harris, of Tennessee. Jones of Arkansas Turpie of In­diana, and Hon W. J Stone, of Missouri, and Hoa W. H. Hinrichsen, of Illinois, be and are hereby constituted the executive committee and shall have full power and authority and it shall be their duty at as early a day as possi­ble to appoint the members of the national committee herein provided for and to fill va­cancies in the same.

"Third—That said executive committee shall have full control and direction of the patriotic effort of the blmetallio democrats of the natiou to secure in the next democratic convention the maintenance of the time-honored princi­ples and policies of the democratic party "

After adopting the address and reso­lutions, and the plan of reorganization, the silver conference at 12:45 p. m. ad­journed sine die.

W. W. Taylor, South Dakota's Defaulting Treasurer, Gets Five Years.

PIERRE, a D„ Aug. 16.—Ex-State Treasurer \V. W. Tayloi was Wednes­day morning sentenced to five years in the penitentiary at Sioux Falls by Judge Gaffy.

The court room was crowded when judgment was pronounced on the of­fending state treasurer. In a low voice the defendant, in reply to the question if he had anything to say, said: "I have not." The court then reviewed the crime and the statutes bear­ing on the case. He considered the much-discussed section void and inti­mated that the two-year sentence was not intended to cover such a case. The worst part of Taylor's crime, in the estimation of the judge, was that he had tried to force a compromise after get t ing his hand on all the state funds he could. __ _,

Fainter of "Breaking Home Ties" Glvet I * ^ Up His Life. ^NOBRISTOWN, Pa., Aug. 16.—Thomas Hovenden, the famous artist, was in­stantly killed by a railroad train near here Wednesday evening, and it was in attempting to save the life of a lit­t le girl that he lost his own. The sac­rifice of Mr. Hovenden's life was use­less, because the child that he at­tempted to save also met her death be­neath the wheels of the same engine.

IThomas Hovenden was one of the leading artists of Amerloa. He was still in the com* paratlve prime of his intellectual vigor and artistic skill, being but GO years of age. His best-known painting. ^'Breaking Home Ties," has been engraved probably more than the work of any other American artist, and is a familiar object on the walls of thou sands of homes in the United States. Th* painting was one of the most notable of the American groups at the worlds fair. Mr. Hovenden leaves a wife, but no children. 1 1}

received in Trenton, N. J., says that a bloody battle occurred on August 3 at Straun creek and Mullins river, about 30 miles south of Belize, in British Honduras.

An Outlaw Killed. SERGEANT, Ky., Aug. 16.—John Hop­

kins, of Beaver, Floyd county, was waylaid and shot Wednesday evening by George Eunypn, % neighbor. Hop­kins has been feared more than any man in this vicinity. He has been practically an outlaw for years and his death is rejoiced in by the community.

DENVER, Col., Aug. 20.—The Gumry hotel, Nos. 1725 to 1733 Lawrence street, was wrecked by a terrific explosion at 12:10 o'clock a. m. The rear half of the building, a five-story brick and stone structure, went down with a crash.

The hotel was crowded with guests and many of them must have been killed, as wel l as the entire force of hotel employes, who were Bleeping in the portion of tbe'building which fell.

On both sides of Lawrence, from Sev­enteenth to Eighteenth street, and on Larimer, directly back of the Gumry, the plate glass windows of the busi­ness houses were blown in and a num­ber of pedestrians were injured by fall­ing glass. The fronts of many build­ings in the vicinity were badly wrecked. r * * **•* ?

A Mass of Ruins. The hotel structure for 100 feet along

the alley and extending 75 feet toward the front is a mass of debris. Brick and plaster are piled in heaps 20 feet high, and from this mass of wreckage can be heard the moans of the injured ai»d dying.

At 12:35 five injured persons had been taken out. They were all in­mates of the upper story, and sank down with the floors, escaping more fortunately than those above, who are still buried in the ruins.

Forty Probably Dead. By some estimates forty people were

in the portion of the hotel, destroyed, nearly all of whom must be dead. It wil l be late before a full list can be ob­tained.

The cause of the explosion is uncer­tain, but it is supposed that the bat­tery of the boilers in the hotel base­ment exploded.

The sound of the explosion was heard throughout the city, awakening people in bed a mile from the scene. A cloud of dust was thrown a thousand feet in the air, and as there is not a breath of air stirring it still hangs in the air l ike a huge column. Minute atoms of pow­dered brick and mortar are descending like gentle snow.

At 12:50 the ruins were burning fiercely and the firemen were obliged to retreat from the work of rescue. Every engine in the city was pouring streams into the mass, but it was evi­dent the flames could not possibly be gotten under control before many of the Injured had been cremated.

Awful Cries of the Victims. As their chances of escape lessened

the cries of the imprisoned people in­creased, heartrending shrieks rising from every portion of the great mass of wreckage. v

Ervin, secretary of the Irleston Milling company, were on trial in Judge Mar­tin's court at St. Cloud on a charge of disturbing the peace one night recently, at which time some 50 bicyclists, among whom this trio took a prominent part, "playing horse" with the new bicycle ordinance, by promeaading the streets of the city on wheels, with cow bells, and otherwise making the night air ring with shouts of defiance. The trio dem inded a jury trial and a list of 30 was gone through before the 12 were selected. Both the prosecution and de­fense had able attorneys and the case was fought for all there was in it. The case was given to the jury and in half an hour a verdict of not guilty was brought in. Wheelmen are jubilant and feel that they have scored a big point. The case will cost the city in the neighboi hood of 8100. -•

The Park. The Minnesota commission appointed

to report on the proposed interstate park has been in session at Taylor's h alls and finished its work. The sec­retary, George H. Hazzard, said that the commission would file its report with the governor and state auditor Monday. It is reported that there were 301 different pieces of property to be acquired, making 110 acres, and that there were 487 different owners of the land to be condemned, and that the assessments to these amounts to less than $6,000. This makes Rep­resentative Aug. Anderson, Senator F. A. Hodge and the local park committee feel good, as it proves the truth of their respective representations to the as­sessed valuation for taxation purposes, which was $6,400, which included 12 or IS houses with many other structures.

Preuent Midsummer Dullness In Trade Was Due In July.

N s w YORK, Aug. 17.—R. G. Dun & Co. in their weekly review of trade say:

"1% is a belated season, a frozen May set everything back The heavy business which ouKbt to have been done In May and June was pushed Into Julv, so that the midsummer de­cline due in July comes in August. With this in mind, one Is not surprised to find the shrinkage from July to August rather more conspicuous than usuaL Financial events are used in speculative markets to create apprehension. Exports of gold have con­tinued this week, and while the syndicate has deposited enough In the treasury to keep the reserve intact, the impression grows that another sale of bonds may be made. Exports are falling below last year's, in two weeks of August, $3,300 000, or iO per cent, while imports show a small increase ot 6V4 per cent. Government receipts for half of August are ST.ISI ,3C6 less than expenses. The disap­pointing irop reports of last Saturday, though evidently distrusted, lessen confidences in re­gard to the future of trade, even while some speculators g-ln by them Back of all doubts is the tact that the industries are doing better than anybody could have expected.

"Actual consumption of pig-iron Is large and prices rise in the face of the Increasing output.

' Sales indicate that domestic wool Is large­ly held for speculation at prices about a cent higher than manufacturers feel able to pay.

"Shipments ol boots and shoes have fallen almost to last j ear's figures for August thus far, and orders are as yet bcanty for the new season, but prices are firm, and leather does not change, though tanners decline to pay cur­rent quotations—*X to 10 cents—tor western hides.

"CropreDorts modified expectations as to cotton and wheat, and cotton speculators have bought, lilting the price five-sixteenths while wheat, with more e\ ldence of loss in yield has decltned 1% According to govern­ment reports the crop of each would be about two-thirds of the maximum

"The stock market has been quite inactive, with a trifling decline both in railroads and trust stocks as a whole, largely influenced from day to day by financial rumors.

"Failures for the week have been 106 In the United States, against 229 last year, and SO Ic Canada, against 45 last year "

Recently the Standard Company assigned to the Minnesota Iron Company, who held a slaim of $55,000 against its leases of two valuable iton mining properties, the Cincinnati and the Hale mines.

While engaged in digging the race for the dam at St. Hilaiie a few days ago, the workmen unearthed what may prove a valuable find. It was found in large quantities and is probab­ly mica, although experts have not yet passed on it. The substance is as clear as crystal, and has the micacious facul­ty of splitting in sheets. The mineral was struck about 10 feet from the sur­face, and is supposed to be plentiful, as it was thrown out by the workmen in great pieces.

Skeptical still of the merits of the goods at so low a price, she hesitated, but finally took a half dozen pair, and went home to don her new appareL

In one short hour she returned. With hysterical l ittle screetches thin-spacing her lines she exclaimed: "You horned old thing, I've brought back your dirty old stockings.
