' In the course of an interview upon the flnsncialJsHaatlon in the country, Sena tor yuajr said mat be thought secretary Carlisle ought to refuse to purchase any more .silver and go into the Supreme Court and attack the constitutionality of the Sherman law. He said he could not say what the result would he, hut it did seem to him that no court would de cide that tho Government was compelled to purchase silver and store it away in vaults. "10 might just as well be held. he continued, "that the Government shonld buy wheat, Iron, or any other com modity, and store it away. If the present policy is continued the silver in the treasury vaults will after a while have little or no value, or at least will ne of no more use to the Government than so much pig Iron.'

DR. ABBOTT OJT Rl.ItiuS. Criticise the Assembly and Declares that the Bible Is Vot the Word of God Dr. Lyman At bott. in Ms sermon on ict Brlfcga case at Plymouth Church. Brooklyn, endeavored to ;rove that Dr. Brlggs and not the General Assembly, during the last two years, bad defended the true Christian faith: that It vas not Dr. Brlggs who was heretical, but that the stand taken by the General Assembly was one whose logical resnlt was Infidelity. Dr. Abbott exclaimed) "Here tic! What is heresy? For one thing it is x declare that God is not the father of all mankind and leaves no door of access :o himself save the one door of a written word that was not completed till the human race had longed and cried and prayet: for their father for 2,000 years. In your name and in the name of all that believe 1 i the living God, dwelling in the hearts o' his children to-day, I thank this prophet, successor to the prophets of olden timet, that in these two years of cruel trial he has never receded from

bis one position, never used words in uoume sense, ne"er retracted bis one as sertion, buthasssood firmly and faithful ly against persuasion on the one hand and attack on the other, for his fundamental principle that Cod is In the heart of the Individual and In the heart of His church, an revealed In the pages of tho Bible. The Bible is not the word of God. I charge any man who cal s the Bible the word of God to find that phrase tho word of God ever employed In the Bible to designate the Bible, or even employed In cue part of the Blue to designate any other part." WHEAT TAKES A TUMBLE. Failure of a Small Finn Sends Prices I.OW' er than for Thirty Years. The feeling of uncertainty and the fear of Impending dlsester which has existed In the stock exchanges for some time struck the Chicago Board of Trade hard rrlday. Under the Influence of a rumor of a failure, whear, went down with a rush, and was sold at the lowest figure In thirty yean. The failure, when it was announced, proved to be a small one. and one that in ordinary times would have attracted bnt little notice, but owing to the panicky fueling which existed In the pits, it caused a decided Surry. July wheat opened in the morning at 6s cents, an advance of X over Thursday nlghfa closing 3gures. In tho early trading it went as high as 60 and 69 cents, bnt on a sudden went down to 69- This decline precipitated the failure of Kellogg & Forsyth, a new firm, but lit tle known on the board. The news that suspension bad occurred spread quickly, but it was not knoirn what firm it was that had been compelled to give up. A rumor was started that a big failure was coming and the resnlt was a small panic Wheat, which had gone np to 69, went down in a few minutes to 69, and then, on the defi' nlte announcement of the failure, went to 68. There was t slight reaction when the speculators learned that the failure was not a big one Mid that no more dtsas ten were coming, but the market broke again to 68, whlctt was the lowest point reached. BKOKB THE KANSAS DROUGHT. Rainmaker Jewell Succeeds In His Experiment at Meade. C B. Jewell, superintendent of ralnmak lag for the Bock I sland Road, began his ralnmaklng experiments at Meade, Kan., Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock. His ap paratus was set up in the laboratory car and the cloud-collecting gases were sent Into the clear sky about sundown. After operations bad continued for six hours light clouds were visible In all directions about the horizon. They began to collect and at 1) o'clock they had gathered In a large body. At 10:80 light, drizzling rain began to fall. which continued until 1 o'clock In the morning, when it cleared. At daylight the conditions were still favorable for the successful termination of the experiment Mr. Jewell has kept bis apparatus con stantly at work anil will not discontinue his operations for several days, or until a drenching rain has fallen. There has been no rain in Southwestern Kansas, where the experiment la beinf; conducted, for eight months, and the fi.vorable beginning of Jewell's work has proved very encour aging. Cleveland on the Financial Situation. The President sale, on Monday, In reply to a- direct question, that he Intended to call an extra session of Congress not earlier than the 1st r. or later than the 16th September, unless unexpected contin gencies should necessitate an earlier meeting. The President lnrther said: While there has been no mvKtnrv or Mm i r in resard to mv intection in thfa matter T think it not amiss tilt our people should be informed authoritatively that the time is at band when their representatives in Congrens will be called upon to deal with a financial condition which Is the only menace to the country's welfare and prosperity. It is wen ior ine people to taxe up tne Buojeot ior themselves, and arrive at their own conclusions as to the merits of a financial polloy which obllses us to purchase idle silver bullion with fold taken from our res srve. One does not need he eye of a financier to see that this gold thus subtracted from the gc vernment's stock is eagerly seized by other no tious for the purpose of strengthening their credit at our expense. It does not need the art of statesmanship to detect the danger that avoir s upon the continuance of this operation. Already the timidity of capital Is painfully apparent, and none of us can fall to see that fear and apprehension in monetary circles will ultimately bring suffering to every humble home in our land. I think that between now and the meeting of Congress ranch depends upon tie action of those engaged in financial operations and business enterprises. Our vast nat ional resources and credit are abundantly suffclent to justify them in the utmost lalth and confidence. If instead t being frightened they are conservative, and if lnstoad of gloomily anticipating immediate disaster they contribute their share of hope and steadiness, they will perform a patriotic duty and at the same time protect their own interest. The things Just now needed are coolness and calmness ia financial circles, and study and reflection among our people. Against All Trusts, The Anti-Trust Con yen Hon which met at Apollo Music Hall In Chicago Monday was not Imposing as to numbers, but it was a representative one and its members were full of enthusiasm ind determination. The convention was called by Governor Knute Kelson, who. In obedience to a resolution passed by the Legislature of his Btate, issued an invitation to all the States of the Union to take art in a conference to devise means to abolish trusts and com -bines. Thirty-tour States responded by appointing delegates, and nearly that many States were represented on tho opening day. H. H. Warner's Small Assets. Marcenus H. Briggs, as representative of Job E. Hedges, H. H. Warner's assignee, haa,appeared before Ccu niy Judge Werner at Rochester, N.Y., and presented the petition of Mr. Hedges for leave to file a bond for the faithful performance of his duties. In the petition Mr. Hedges says that Mr. Warner's whole estate will not amount to over 160.090, because all the assets are either mortgaged or are the sublect of litigation, Deserted His Vouna- Bride. Perry Lawrence, a ycung farmer residing rfx miles north of Columbia City, Ind.. deserted hie bride of four months, leaving the following mysterlou note: My time Is up. I must be going. Mrs. Lawrence says that never an angry word passed between them. Twists Himself luto Eternity. Godfrey Barrel!, a New Orleans druggist, tied bis shoestrings together around a window bar, put his head through the loop and then twisted himself Into eternity.

Most of them trcre banks in name only, their business being mainly in the lino of note and loan brokerage and real estato deals, lbey had no standing of conscouence In the commercial world and were not considered first-class In any respect. Their failure occasioned little surprise in financial cir cles and should cause the public no alarm. That the seeming panic that has seized the savings bank depositors Is entirely sense less and Is without causa or founda tlou is proved bv the utter calm that marks the ccnoral trend of business and tho absence of nil anxiety or flurry In other branches of the banking business. Mou at onco very wealthy and very conservative see no danger In the existing financial and commer clal conditions. Every bank In Chicago bus on hand cash enough to meet all de mands, and has, besides. Immense re sources upon which to draw. The disturbonce of the past tew iliiys Is confined en tirely to a small percentage of savings depositors. KECirROClTV MEN MKET. Convention to Promote Closer Trade Re lations with Cauada.

By a further provision the formal requisition must be pre sented within forty days following an arrest, else the prisoner shall be discharged. The treaty shall remain In force for six months after notice of Its termination tshall have been given by either party. Wild Time on the Board of Trade. Monday was another wild day on the Chicago Board of Trade. The uneasy Feel ing in the financial world Invaded tho speculators in grains and provisions and caused a temporary panic.

The Republican State Convention was called to order Wednesday, by State Chairman Pursell. The st age was draped with tri-colored buntlnu. but with this 4xoeptiou the interior of the Opera House was bare 01 decorations. Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. David It.

gov. william

encomiums upon tbe party for securing I America for the Americans; Its acts ol ; legislation; urged renewed effort and ! predicted that "patriotic people of the ! country will rally to tho party wherever a free ballot and fair count Is permitted by tbe rullne powers of tbe Democratic party." The conventtou adjourned to moot at 10 o'clock a m., Thursday. A few moments after loo clock Tbursdav, Gen. Grosvenor called the Kepub - lican State Convention to order and Rev. Dr. N. H. Holmes implored the Divlno blesslud on tho proceedings. A hearty greeting was accorded Hon. fl M. Dougherty when he was. introduced as permanent Chairman, and In recogni tion ot tho cordiality he limited his speech to three minutes. After his speech tho report of tho Committee on Resolutions was next In order. It was read by Congressman G. W. Hullck of Clermont. Each plank was loudly applauded. It was as follows: The Republicans of Ohio, by their dele gates In State convention assembled, de clare as follows: 1. We indorse- and roaflirm the plat form of principles adopted by the national Republican convention in Juue, 1893. 2. We Indorse and commend the ad ministration of Benjamin Harrison while President of the United States as emi nently patriotic, wise, pure, and just. 3. 1 ho people of Ohio have a just pride In tho administration of affairs of this State by Governor William McKlnley, Jr. He brought to the discbargo of his duties as governor ripe experience, great learning, ability, sta esmaoshlp, and an honest and patriotic purpose; and he has always shown himself capable, faith ful, and wise. We heartily indorse his administration and assure him ol our great esteem and confldonco. 4. Wo indorse the action of tho last general assembly In providing by law for the protection of railway employes, by compelling tho use of the automatic coo piers for the arbitrat ion of labor controversies for the taxation of franchises and collateral Inheritances, and other measures tbe effect of Which will be to reduco tbe burdens of taxation on farms and other property. 5. we favor biennial sessions of the general assembly In obedience ta tbe original purpose of tbe present constitution. 0. Wo favor the policy of full and adequate protection to American labor and industries. The best exemplificaaion of tho principle of protection and reciprocity, that has found expression In the statutes. Is the Mckinley act. Wo ordlally declaro our adhesion to the doctrines of that great measure, and favor such amendments thereto for pro tection as time and experience may show to be advisable. 7. Wo condomn tho bill passed by the Democratic majority, in the House of Representatives ot tbe last Congress, and tho present avowed policy of the Democratic party, to place wool on the free Hat, as an unjust and ruinous attack on all the agricultural Industries of tho country. We insist on such full and adequate protection for the wool In dustry as will enable American farmers to supply tho wool required for i-onf umptlon In tho United States. 8. We Indorse the policy of tho Na tional grange "that all tariff laws shall protect the products of the farm as well as the produots of the factory." 0. We believo in a free ballot and fair count, and wo favor such legislation as will secure these results tor every voter In the United States. 10. We demand tbe enactment ol laws that will protect our peoplo against the Influx of tho vicious and criminal classes and the Importation of laborers undor contract to compete .with our citizens, and we demand the rigid enforcement of xlstlng Immigration laws by tbe Na tional administration. 11. We adhere to the Republican policy of granting ponstons to the wounded and disabled soldiers and sail ors of the late war, and the widows and ornbans of such as are deceased, and wo condemn tho unfriendly and unjust policy already made manliest by tbe present Democratic administration 12. We favor honest tnoiioy, composed I of gold, silver, and paper, maintained at equal value and under National ami not citate regulation, ine nuam-iai t.onor of tho State must be maintained ar d Its credit preserved unimpaired. Tbe weak and vacillating course of the present National administration in dealing with the financial situation meets our con demnation. 13. We denounce the avowed purpose of the Democratic party to repeal "the prohibitory 10 per rout, tax on State Bank Issues." Jts purpose Is to abandon the present currency system, established by the Republican party, tbo safost and best over provided in any nation and to supply lu place with a ourrRPy inufld Hn(jff tht tutbemy f

one of our forty-four States wblcn can never be either safe or of uniform value, When the platform had been read and adopted tho decks wore cleared for nominations. Governor McIClnloy's uamo was presented by Col. Bob Kevins of Dayton, and seconded by Sonator J. W. Xlcbols of Ilelmont. There wore no other nominations, and tha bovurnor was declared the nominee amid a scene of wild enthusiasm. A committee was appointed to conduct him to the hall and a few moments later ho made his appearance. He was greeted with cheers prolonged several momenta, lie commenced bis address by accepting the nomination and expressing his gratitude and appreciation. 'Republlcaaism," ho said, "will have a severe tost Im Ohio this year. This Htote is tbe coveted field of the opposition. Thov will center here, but with unity, harmony, and courage, our party will triumph over all. We do not wait for the oii-jmy to form their lino and challenge us to contest. Wo challenge them early upon every issue and upou every ltn'j of controversy. State or National, which divides us. One day we learn that tbe enemy want to give us tattlo upon Statu atfairs; then upon National Issues. Wo invito them before the bar of public Judgment for discussion upon both, and shall permit them to run away from neither." Tho Governor proceeded to review the administration of State affairs by the Republican party at extreme length. Then, coming down to National issues, he continued;

Mckinley. "Tho National administration has done nothing thus far except to create in the initids of business men a deep distrust. Tho financial situation, which, for tho most part, has prevailed since tho 4th of i March, has not been Improved, nor has ; the financial stringency been relieved by ; anvtliinp; the National administration has i said or done. It has announced no policy, suggested no relief, and given no sign ; of its disposition or ability to restore ; confidence, stop the outflow of gold to j foreign countries and the contraction 1 which has taken place at home. The 5100,000,000 of gold reserve which Mr. Clevoland, In bis first administration, set apart as a sacred fund to redeem tho greenbacks and which sum he dedicated to that purposo, and none other, has been the first, singularly enough, to encroach upon It the first to drop below the hundred million lino which he himself bad established as the only Hue of salety." Continuing this line of thought at some length, Mr. McKlnley said: "The Democratic victory of ISO'.' has not been able to bring the better times promised. It has not been able to naititaln tho good times which wore enjoyed everywhere in tbe country on the day of the victory. Business failures have increased, banks have suspended, money is harder to borrow, and borrowers are compelled to pay higher interest for their loans than for many, many years. Feverish uncertainty prevails in every financial and business circles. Labor and capitol are in doubt about the future. This has been our condition for two months and no change for tho hotter is at this moment apparont." Governor McKinley continued at considerable length, speaking upon the tariff, pensions and other questions of the day. Tho following nominations were mado by acclamation: Lieutenant Grovernor A. L. Harris. Treasurer W . -T. Copo. Attorney General John K. Richards. Judge of tho Supremo Court Joseph P. Uradburv. Member Hoard of Public Works Frank J. McCulloch. Dairy Commissioner B. P. McNeal. An eagle was adopted as the party emblem, and at 12.30 the convention, adjourned sine die. Gold and Silrer in the Sea. Sea water is impregnated with certain chemical salts, including chlorides, sulphates, bromules, iodides and carbonates, some of which have the power of dissolving gold and silver or holding them in solution. Tho chemist Sonstailt has recently shown that sea water contains nearly one grain of gold to tho ton of water, held in solution by iodide of calcium ; and it has been known for Some years that the old copper stripped from the bottoms of ships is often so rich in silver tak-ui from the sea that it pays a profit on the cost of smelting it. It is estimated thai the ocean holds in solution at least 2,0110,000 tons of silver. Assuming this to be the metric ton of 2,204.0 pounds, tho above total is equivalent in weight to 77,418,000,000 American standard dollars nearly seven times the total silver product of tho world from the earliest times to the close of 18711, or $11,315,000, as estimated by that eminent statistician, tho Russian councillor, Otresehkoff. A large discount may be made from these estimates, and yet there would be enough left, aside from all the treasures of sunken .Spanish galleons and oriental argosies, to demonst rate that the saying, "There is gold in the sea," is not merely a poetic fancy. Pestiferous Sriulrrels. In Arizona and California, and also in Western Texas and New Mexico, the farmers havo annually to contend against the destructive habits of certain rodents, whoso ravages have often devastated entire sections. The central and southern portions of California especially are overrun by innumerable squirrels, which increase with such rapidity that the means hitherto employed to destroy them have proved wholly inadequate. In Arizona, New Mexico and Western Texas several varieties of rabbits are equally destructive with the squirrels of California, and the huge field rats of Southern Arizona and the frontier. These destructive animals eat tbo tender shoots of the cereals as soon as they appear above ground ; but, worse than all, they barrow in the earth to such an extent that in a few hours a vast field of thriving grain will present the appearanoe of a thoroughly-plowed plain.

Ordinary food does not contain a sullicient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of iiving and labor imposes upon the nerves.
