THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1893.

DM he think there was any hope for such legislation, unless it was attached to the reveal bill? "If I cast my vote for the repeal of the silver-purchase act. as I expect "to do," 2Ir. Dolph replied. "1 v,'Ul not do It with the expectation that, during the present administ.atoin, there will not be any other legislation concerning silver. I do not know a single sentence of President Cleveland's, from the time of hl3 first letter to Mr. Warner." of Ohio, up to the present time, that would lead rnyone to believe he had chanced his position in relation to silver coinage, or that he did not stand today in favor of the repeal of the Sherman lav and opposed to the further purchase of fllver bullion, and to the further coinage of silver dollars. I do not expect that he "will recommend to Congress any legislation looking to the use of silver by the United States v.ithont the approbation of other countries. And I do not expect that Congress could pass any act for the use of silver by this country which would receive his approval. But I understand that he would be in favor of what he considers a practical use of silver. The free coinage of silver is only practical with an international agreement by which the mints of all commercial countries of the world shall be open to the free coinage of sliver at an agreed ratio." THINKS CLEVELAND IS HONEST. In answer to a question by Mr. Teller, Mr. Dolph said: "I have no reason to suppose that Mr. Cleveland has not always been earnestly In favor of an international agreement. I do not doubt the good faith of Mr. Cleveland. He 13 honest when ho asserts, as I understand he has asserted from time to time, that he 13 In favor of bimetallism by international agreement, where by the parity of both metals can be maintained." "I did not sugerest," said Mr. Teller, "that Mr. Cleveland va3 not a bimetallism according to his definition of the term. What I wanted to know Is whether there Is anything in Mr. Ceveland's past history In connection with the question of bimetallism which would indicate a desire on the part of the present administration to secure this agreement for open mints which the Senator speaks of." "I know of nothing," Mr. Dolph replied, "which has been done under the present administration that would indicate that Mr. Cleveland either Jntsnds to renew effort3 to secure an international agreement, or that he has changed his views in regard to an international agreament." Here Mr. Palmer stopped into the arena of the debate, saying: "I am not authorized to speak for the PresMsnt, but I have no doubt that the President regards it a3 essential that we settle our own policy before we invite othsr nations to a conference, I have no doubt that the President understands that while we continue the purcha.se of silver we are disabling ourselves by putting ourselves to a disadvantage in any attempt at adjusting bimetallism with foreign countries. I am quite certain that the President believes, but I am not authorized to make the statement, that ko long as we continue the purchase of silver and endeavor to support silver coinage we would appeal in vain to foreign governments to enter Into any agreement to establish international bimetallism." Mr. Dolph I have been waiting with patience to have the Senator from Colorado (Mr. Teller) or some other Senator who believes as he does explain to the Senate how he can expect, with free coinage at 16 to 1, and with the price of sliver a3 it is to-day, to avoid the operation of the universal and imperative law by which the better money is always driven from the country by the poorer money. Mr. Teller If the Senator from Oregon will tell me why we are now circulating fMO,000,000 of silver dollars on an absolute parity with gold, and not redeeming it in pold, he will make one step in the direction of answering his own question. Mr. Dolph That is not so. We are maintaining our circulation of silver money, and a large amount of it on a parity with gold, but we are doing it with a provision for Its redemption in gold by the receipt of silver for- public duties at the equivalency of gold. MR. ALLLISON SPEAKS. There was considerable badgering over. fiat money between Messrs. Peffer, Jone3 of Nevada and Dolph. Then Mr. Allen got Into the controversy and brought up the subject of the Brussels conference, and thi3 brought Mr. Allison to his feet He stated that in regard to the charge of a conspiracy between great capitalists that Mr. Rothschilds had taken the strongest possible position in favor of silver. Mr. Allison added that the conference had adjourn ed for reasons which he had explr'ned to the Senate recently, and that it had ueen then expected, and was now expected, by the European states that the conference would reconvene. For reasons, however, which he did not understand the reconvening of the conference had been postponed from the 30th of May till Nov. 4, and, so far from European governments not being interested in the subject, there was rot one o? them that was not watching, day by day, every movement made in the United States. They were hoping that the American government would get them out of their dilemma by continuing the purchase of sliver. Mr. Dolph continued his speech and wound up by declaring, as he had said In the opening, that the operation of the Sherman law was not responsible for the business disasters and financial disturbances. Hut there was a large number of people in the United States who believed that it wa3, and the safer course was to repeal it. Mr. Power then addressed the Senate in opposition to the repeal bill, asserting that no argument had been made that would Justify the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law. The advocates of silver were here, he said, "not to cry havoc and let Blip the dogs of war," but to protest against the commission of the grievous wrong of demonetizing silver. Mr. Palmer said that after a session of eight weeks the inquiry arose whether the Senate would at any time dispose of the question before It. He had examined the rules carefully, and he confessed that he had not discovered any means by which the Senate could govern Itself. He regretted that he could find nothing in the rules or in the interpretation of the Constitution by which the Senate could act when the Sonate had even determined to act. As to the test of physical endurance, he could not contemplate it with great patlsfaction. If it were to be resorted to he hoped that such "ancients" as himself and the Senator from Vermont (Mr. Morrill) would be allowed champions to sit in their places and to starve in their stead hereafter. Was this thine:, ho asked, to end? If so, when and how? If the Senate were not going to decide anything why did it not quickly adjourn and go about its business, leaving things In their present condition? Mr. Palmer went on to discuss the bill and argue in favor of lt3 passage. In the course of his speech he said that all ouistandlng notes were payable in gold. Mr. Stewart contended that they were not. Mr. Teller stated that he had gone to the treasury to make Inquiries on the subject and had been Informed by the treasurer himself that no certificates had been paid In gold. So many Senators took part in the discussion that Mr. Dolph proposed. Jocularly, that Senators should be formed into a ring, so that fair play could be secured. That suggestion reminded Mr. Palmer of the anecdote of the farmer's boy and the dog. The farmer, in order to try the dog, had put on a cow hide, and the boy had tet the dog upon him. When the farmer fchouted to have the dog called oil the son Bald: "Oh. no. dad; it may be hard upon you. but it will be the making of the pup." (Iiu shter.) "This gold ring may be good for gold," Bald Mr. Stewart, "but it is very bad for silver." "And that may be taken," said Mr. palmer, "as the moral of my story." (Laughter.) In What Itcspectf XCew York Commercial Advertiser. In what respect, pray, Is Cleveland any better than the ordinary ward politician? This Van Alen business ha3 been a sad awakening to many poor little mugv.-ur.ps.

There were no new cases of snwillpoi reported to-day. but there was another death. It is the infant child of Mr. and 2 Irs. Thomas linger. The disease was contracted from tho child's sister, who has recovered. Tho case that developed six miles soutli of Muncio was brought to the city and placed in the hospital. Tho coxnmitteo that waited on Governor Matthews yesterday concerning aid for Muncio in her bard fight with tho ssourjgo made some discoveries that not only surprised the members, bat illled them with righteous indignation. It was discovered that tho city possessed citizens disloyal enough in the interests of the city to protest azainst State aid. Governor Matthews bad several letters from Muncio people which changed the committee with appropriating funds to their own ua statin? that if the State furnished more money it would only prolong the disease. The letters show a malicious disposition toward the o Hirers and special coxnmitteo from the City Conncil who have been laboring day and night to stop the pest. Drs. Jackson and Wman. ond Councilman Johnson, Lennon, Highlands and Mayor llrady takethematter most to heart. They are all men whom no man hero would openly assail. In referring to the matter this evening, the Times says: "Such representations and accusations aro the work of an assassin and men who will make them are not worthy of citizenship in Muncio." As to the matter of State aid, the Anderson Democrat says: "The State ought to lo something for Mnncie. It is to the interest of every citizen of the State to have tho smallpox Tooted ud, no matter where it may have a lodging place." The disease is not stamped out. and it will be weeks before it will be, even with the present quarantine regulations in force. The appeal made for help was not introduced eo long as it eonld bo prevented. The treasury is depleted as the city police, who fulled to get their monthly allowance yesterday, can testify. A LIVELY msCfJSSION. Raptlst Ministers Take Up the Question of Worldly Amusements for tho Young. Special to the Indianapolis Journ!. CoLUMisrs, Ind., Oct. 3. To-day's session of the Stato liaptist Association vras called to order by the president. Key. Cavis, at 9 o'clock. The programme called for papers, the first being on "How Shall Wo Get More of the Lord'a Money?" by Kev. 1!. V. Neighbor. "Tho State of Religion" was the subject discussed by Prof. .). II. Hall. This was by far tho most exciting of the day, as it drifted into the amusements of the young. A general discussion followed, in wmch Rev. Williams made tho statement thai it was bis honest conviction that there was no minister in the association that conld draw as large a crowd, with as many dollars in sight, as conld Nartcpr Hanks on an exhibition trot aud it was this state of facts that caused hitu to believe that tho amusements for tho young were not of the proper sort. lu tho discussion of this subject s::io claimed that great caution Bhoiild be exercised in handling this questiou as it was known that a minister of the Baptist Church had lost his "job" by proaohinc aixamet horse racing in the blue grass regions of Kentucky. This subject was so earnestly entered into that much more time was taken up in its discussion than was intended. The discussion f the snbject "How to Promote lieviTals"' then followed. Rev. James Smith, tho oldest minister at tho convention, rook a part. He is still quite vigoroos.thouh soventy-fonr years ot age. He has been in tho ministry n little over fifty years and id ntill engaged quito actively in the missionary work. Ho baa preached twenty years in Indiana, twenty in Iowa, and ten in Missouri. Ho claims to have witnessed over three thousand conversions dnriusr his ministry and to have baptized l,t;23 persons. Ho has published three books. After this discussion came tho election of oilicers for the coming y ear, as follows: President. B. K Cavis, of Peru, re-elected; vice president, J. K. Howard, of Lavonu; second vico president, P. M. Huckleberry, of Madison; secretary, U. M. Caille. of Indianapolis; treasurer. J. J. W. Uillingslev, of Indianapolis.

ABE" HAWKINS ON TItlAU Called to Answer Resisting Arrest in Shelbyville Last June. Srec!al to the Indianapolis Journal. SiiELnvviLLr, Ind.. Oct. 3. The trial of Daniel J. Hawkins, otherwise known as "liabe." and for years esteemed a desperado in certain quarters, was act for to-day, and the Cixcuit Court room was crowded nearly to suffocation with interested spectators. Ho is charged with an assault npon ex-Sheriff McDougall with intent to commit murder. The entire afternoon was spent in getting a jury and tho statements of the attorneys. Charles Hawkius, brother of this defendant. about two years ago shot Marshal llruco, of this city. and was plaoed in jail. That night a mob took him from jaii. hauged hiui to a true, and tilled hia body with bullets, "liabo" has always claimed to know who did the hanging, and, on account of his reputation as a desperate character, bo was greatly feared. He always goes armed, aud thootlicers have had considerable trouble with him. Tho trial begun to-day is lor an o liens'.) committed on Saturday. June 10. last. The State, according to the statement of its attorney, expects to prove that "Rabo" came to town that day armed to the teeth, and accompanied by a aang of his followers, with the intention of wreaking vengeance noon cx-SbenlF nnd night otbeer James McGill nud Deputy Sherilt McDongall for the part they played in trying to convict hiui for an assault with intent to kill John Chambers, last spring; that he met McGill and threatened his life, and said bo would kill McDongall on sight: that late in the afternoon McDongall and McGill attempted to arrest him for carrying concealed weapons and that ho attempted to shoot the oilicers; that ho blow a whistle and called his gang abont him. and in the uenernl tight which followed McDougali bad his leg broken and McGill was seriously injured. Tho attorneys for tho defense stated to the court that they expected to prove that it was a premeditated assault, on the part of tho oilicers. with the intent to kill Hawkins. The interest aroused by the trial is intense, and tho court room will be crowded at each session nnd some interesting testimony is looked for. ' NO LONG Kit A FUGITIVE.

Considerable sarpriso was created here, this morning, when William Teaip'.o. one of the ringleaders in the riot ut the opera house last January, when Rudolph's anti-Catholic meeting was broken np. voluntarily gave himself into tho hands of Sheriff Gaddis. Ternplo, a few days alter the conviction of tho now fugitivo Peter J. Clark, disappeared at tho same time that Clarl: did. Liko Clark, he was under bonds, which Judgo Lanednn forfeited. Temple seem to be glad to get back. He esya tuut einco tie led he has been iu t

nnmber of States, down in Mexico, nnd on the go nearly all the time, hourly expecting some man to lay hands on him. Temple denies that be left in company with Clark, and doesn't know whero Clark is. It is a coincidence that Temple should return and surrender himself on the night previous to the eecond appearance of Rudolph in this city, the professor being advertised to deliver, to-nicht, the same lecture that ho was prevented trora delivering last January. The case of Temple and that of .loneph SDeers are all that remain on tho docket. Sneers was indicted on n charge of aiding and assisting in the running oil' of au important witness for the State. The case of William Riley, the man who attacked Rudolph with a cole, has never been called, for the reason that Riley has as eflectually disappeared an if the shot of Whitney Thompson had made him a corcae aud he bad been buried.

IT RESTS WITH THE MEN. Status of the Chesapeake, Ohio & South . western llailvruy .Strlk. LouisviLLK, Oct. SL The settlement of the wage question on tho Chesapeake, Ohio tfc Southwestern nnd tho Ohio Valley railroads now depends entirely npon the ability of the men and the company to csree npon terms. The grand chiefs have withdrawn from consideration of the matter, and will not again meet tho oCiccrs unless the men are nnable to agree upon some eottletnout. Tho grand chiefs have only been called npon to settle one point thns far. namely, whether the two roads should be treated as separate corporations or bo taken together, and having settled that In favor of tho stand taken by the company in insisting upon a division, the chiefs have withdrawn, leavins the question of the acceptance or rejection of tho cut with the employes. That an oarly And omicabldadjustment of tho existing difference will bo made, both sides are confident, and it is probable that all will bs over within the next forty-eight hours at most. There is no change in the situation at the L. & N. shops except that there are more men at work there than at any time since the striko began. II. & O. Km ploy en Mar Strike.

WORKING FOE SILVER First Dav of the Panamerican Bimetallic Convention. Gov. Lcwellin Made Chairman Address by 3Ir. Fis!:c on the Unification of Western Interests. Ppcclalto t!ie In&aaspoiis Journrd. St. Louis, Oct. 3. To-day there assembled in St. I.ouia a convention of representative men, wboso deliberations and action may be felt upon the commerce and politics of tno entire Western hemisphere. When tho bimetallic convention was called by the Silver League in session at El Paso, several months ogo. it was given little attention by lha public nnd scant courtesy by the press. To-day, when the Fanamerlcan bimetallic convention was called to order in Armory Hall there were present many well-known men. The Southern and Western States of the Union, Mexico and Central and South America, bad their students of finance and commerce. While tho gathering Is sectional in its geographical chcractcr, there is exhibited no purpose or desire to array issues on sectional lines. Extremists will have no pronounced intluenco with tho convontion. Governor Lewellin?. of Kansas, was selected for permanent chairman. Presiden t Fisk, of the Bimetallic League, delivered an exhaustive address in favor of the unification of Western interests. In condensed form his argument was as follows: "We have been called together lor a patriotio purpose. Uelievmz. as we do, that existing conditions aro inoro favorable to some sections of the country than to others, aud believing that all sections are entitled to enjoy the fruits oftheirlabor.it should bo our purpose to inauguruto measures and eo far as posetble carry them into execution, which shall tend to the upbuilding and prosperity of every section oi our common country. The construction of railways, which are for the use of all the people, and burdening them with a debt far in excess of their cost, is an otlense against the people who are compelled to pay excessive rates to maintain fixed charges of dividends and interest. Tho permitting of our foreign carrying trade t j decrease, that tho balance of trade may bo against this country, is a grave mistake. The policy of transporting the products of our farms and all our raw material across the continent, and returning thorn in manufactured article, in order to divide our prolita yrith transportation cocipauioo. is unbusinesslike. The permitting ot loreion nations to dictate our legislation, thereoy forcing down the value ofthe prodocts of laoor. the crushing ot onr funning and mining interests in the interest of foreign powers, too impoverishing of the many to enrich tho tew. have Locomeruatters of serious concern to every thinking mas. "To correct these evils and formulate clans that p. ball insure greater prosperity to the hole country is what we are hero to consider. ' The eovernuient ownership of railways hits been ngested. 'the eoiution of this great qutstion should bo eliminated from partisan politics, as far s possible, aud considered by the people in a business way. One great step toward the solution of this question is tbe improvement of our rivers and waterways. The Western and Southern States produce the wealth of this country, but by moans of fostering tbe great corporations tho railways, tbe trutsts and combines, and tbe bankers, tbe wealth of the many is transterred to a few people iu the many centers of the North Atlantic seaboard and Europe. The wealth must be held in the sections that produce it. 'The manufacturing, forestry and mining industries of this country lind their principal consumers in tbe farming and mining sections. The promotion ot nil the industries of the Western and Southern States, upon which depends our foreign commerce aud tho prosperity of tbe proauotivo industries, are largely dependent upon cheap transportation, which can only be 6ecured by means of the Mississippi river aud cheaper railway facilities to gulf ports. Statistics show that the commerce entering and leaving tho city of New Orleans upon the Mississippi river exceeds in value S'.iO,000.(XX) that by rail, and yet the property of tbe railways entering that City Las not atall diminished in value. "It is not alone the Mississippi and its tributaries that need the fostering care of tho government; there aro other canals needed to connect itn portaut waters. The Wisconsin. Fox and lieunepin canals to connect the Mississippi and the lakes would work wonders in commerce, and so would a canal connecting tho James river with the Ohio on ouo side aud the Tennessee on tho other. On tbe Gulf of Moxico we have very few capacious harbors. The most important, besides New Orleans, are those at (Jul vest on. Mobile and i'onsacola. VY'lth tho exception of New Orleans, Mobile is tbo only gulf harbor having a great river aV6tem as a feeder. Tbo Hay of Mob lie is capacious enough to float the navies of the world. 'These internal improvements are not a question of politics, but one of bumnoas. Tho government has given New Vork, Boston. Philadelphia and ali the Eastern ports liberal appropriations and there it no reason why the West and South should not receive the same consideration. The ports of Savannah. Charleston, Pensacola. Mobile, Nsw Orlrnna, Galveston and tbe Nicaragua canal aro tho doorways to the teeniinu populations of Asia." The session was consumed in the appointment of committees, as recommended by the various "Stato and national delegations. Tho convention adjourned after this routine work, and the delegates finished the day at the exposition. To-nie,ht the Governors of other States nnd a number of Konth American delegates wero tbe guests of Governor Stone at the Veilod Prophet's ball. Tho real work of tho convention begins to-morrow. Inquiry among those representing the States elicits little as to the probable action of tho convention on silver, taxation and nthsr economic topics. All are bimetallists. and some favor free coinace. though restrictions on trade between States and countries is a prominent topic. Tho Colorado nnd Texas delegates have detinue plans as to silver, while tho from the southern republics aro more interested iu bettering commercial relations. HAWAIIAN KPISODE.
