Aug. 13.-Senator Harris, cf Tennessee, Is the only member of the committee which signed the. call for a con- I fprpnpe of rwinmt on fh silver nuestion erence or democrats on the sliver question to take place in TV ashlngton to-morrow, who has arrived here. Senators Jones, of Arkansas, and Turple. of Indiana, are the other two mcmDerg of the committee, and botn are expected before the opening of the conference. The meeting will be held In the r,arlors of the MetroDolitan Hotel, and will contlnue one or two days. Its duration depending on the will of those present. It is not Intended that the gathering shall be a mass convention, but merely a meeting of representative Democrats of the country, to the extent of two or three from each State, who favor the free coinage of silver by the United States. Independent of other nations, and who believe that the success of the party in the future is dependent on its assuming an aggressive policy on this line. This call for the Washington conference grew, out of a meeting at Memphis In which only Democrats participated after the conclusion of the recent mass conven tion there and the decision to hold it here was arrived at after a full exchange of views that It was the best place for secur ng co-operative action on the part of silver Democrats throughout the country. Notwithstanding there were a number of Ponulists and some Republicans present at the Memphis convention, no representatives of clther of these Parties were invited to the conference which authorized the call. The meeting here will have two principal purposes, ine nrst or tnese win be to devise a plan to hold all silver Democrats In the Democratic party, and the second to insure. if possible, a declaration for free coinage at th next national Democratic conven tlon. To accomplish this latter purpose it is expected mat an organization will De perfected In every State represented in the conference, whose principal purpose shall be that of securing delegates to the convention pledged to a sliver platform and to a candidate Of corresponding views. It is expected that men will be selected to umj nuift in cavil Ul Ilia to Vn ihof(rA ftf this n'A.lf In AstVi r0 States Senator Harris thinks about thirtv States will be represented at the conference. There were a number of arrivals of mem bers on the afternoon and late to-night trains and it is expected by some of the more enthusiastic advocates of the white metal that upwards of one hundred will be on hand when the conference is called to order to-morrow. Illinois and Missouri are well represented. Those from the former State include Hon. W. H. Henrichsen, Secretary of State and chairman of the Democratic State committee; Hon. Gee. V,r. Fithlan. John A. Barnes . and Oeorsr M. Lecrone, members of the Legislatu. ; ex-Chairman Nealy, C. R. Tuttle, of C .icago, and J. W. Yontis, secretary of thr Railroad ani warehouse Commission. Mjisourl Is represented by Hon. Webb M. Ruby, of Macon; Harry Hill, of St. Louis; George Rlcken and Geo. Allen. Others here are Representative Cox, of Tennes see, and Neill, of Arkansas; Alien W. Clark, president of the State Silver League of Indiana, and Olney Newell, secretary of the State Democratic central committee of Colorado. The Third Tailor Still Missing. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. At a late hour to-n!ght a tour of the Washington hotels shows that about twelve or fifteen men have arrived to attend to-morrow's silver convention. Senator Jones, of Arkansas. is here, and Senator Daniel's valise has come. Indicating that the Virginia Senator Is arriving by easy stages. Senator Turple, who wrote the call which Jones and Harris signed with him, has not been discov ered. It looks very much like the meeting of the three tailors of Tooley street, ex cept that the third tailor is still missing. Whitney's Scheme Criticised. LONDON. Aug. 13. An editorial In the Times this morning, commenting on ex-Sec-ret of the N Whitney's remarks on the silver question, expresses the hope that Mr. Whitney's aspiration for an lnternational agreement to rehabilitate silver will not be fuiailed.

The same result woV.d follow, on however a larire scale the abortive DroJct might be revived. The Bland and tho which gives promise of long outlasting their peal."

TOPEKA, Kan., Aug. !3.-The Kansas Republicans will not hold a convention this year, as had been projected, to take 'action on the sliver question. This decision was reached to-night at a meeting of the Siate central committee, which votM solUly against such a gathering. There were twenty-nine of the th'.riy-flve members of tho committee present. Before adjourning tho committee indorsed the canlUacy of Judse David Martin, of Atchi?on, for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Inir the new law a committee may not nominate a candidate, but its recommendation would be equivalent to that, and the tecnmcality of the law could be met by the petition.

TO FIGHT A COMBINE YERKES AND TUB SIEMEXS-IIALS-KEEL COMPAXY JOIX FORCES. Wnr to lie Made on the Latest Electric Combination Mr. WeatlnRbonse on Another Deal. NEW YORK. Aug. 11. The World this morning says: A new and gigantic electric combine has Just been formed to fight the new Westinghouse-Baldwln combination. It includes the Yerkes railroad people and the! Siemens & Halskeel Electric Company. The combination means the entrv intn thA I comoinauon means tne entry into tne American market of a big foreign electric supply concern, in affiliation with the WId-ener-Elklns syndicate of the street car lines in New York. Philadelphia. Pittsburg and Chicago. Charles F. Yerkes, the head of the new combine. Is known as the Chicago Cable Klne. He is a multi-millionaire, and is associated in cable and electric streetrailroads in Chicago, Philadelphia and New f k wi w Z n wm York with the hitney-Elklns-Widener traction syndicate. His son was recently elected vice president of the Siemens & Halskeel Electric Company. This company is the largest and most powerful electric manufacturing company in Europe. COl'LD NOT AGREE. . The Westlnghoane-General Electric Company Negotiations. PITTSBURG, Aug. 13.-In answer to the direct question as to whether there had or had not been negotiations between the uestinghouse company and the General Electric Company within the past few weeks, looking to the fixing of prices and the arranging of patent matters. Mr. George Westlnghouse, president of the company, to-day made the following statement: Some three months aeo Mr. TwomhW. an influential director of the General Electric Company, asked me if the Westlnphouse company would be willing to diacuss an arrangement with reference to the exchange of patent licenses between the two companies upon a basis which would establish their value and thereby terminate the costly litigation between the companies. which had already Involved large expenditures. Mr. Twombley was informed tnat the westlnghouse company would en ter into a general exchange of licenses upon an equitable basis, and thereupon a memo randum was drawn and committees were appointed by both parties to discuss an arrangement upon the lines of such a memo randum. No meetings of those committees were held, for the reason that only the General Electric officials can explain, it having been said to have been due to irreconcilable differences among themselves. Another attempt was made by two 1m portant directors of the two companies about a month ago, which came to nothing. "following tne latter iaiiure, a prominent director of the General Electric Company expressed regret to a Westlnghouse director that the earlier negotiations had been without result and also expressed a desire m renew negotiations. He was informed ,tvi if th nariArni Fiwtri fnmnanv would arpoint a committee and so inform the Westlnghouse director, that the Westinghouse company would probably appoint a like committee. Such committees were ap pointed, Mr. Coffin being one of the General Electric committee, and meetings were neid in New York Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of last week. An agreement was apparently reached but afterwards receded from by the General Electric committee. "Every suggestion made by air. comn was cf such a nature that the patent and other difficulties between the two companies would have remained so that harmonious relations under the patents would have been impcsslble if the suggestions were carried out. Mr. Coffin, who seemed to be the ruling spirit In the General Electric Company, was desirous of entering into seme kind of an agre?ment whereby his company would be assured a future business somewhat in proportion to the work of the past year, ignoring the fact that the Westlnghouse company, on account of the building of its new works, had permitted a large amount of trade to go to the General Electric during the past year and that the Westln?house company 13 now prepared to successfully compete In every branch of the electrical industry with a certainty that its improved facilities will give it preat commercial advantages and sufficient to Insure to it fullv cne-half the business. The General Electric Company, navlnar receceu irom an agreement a rjinai exchange of licenses, suggested that they he allowed thirty to sixty da$-s to censor the matter. The Westlnghouse committee declined to zo further, because It was ap parent that the negotiations hil already been used in Wall street for sio.c jobbing purposes, where it was stated thit the two companies had practically agreed to prices and a division of territory, neither of which propositions couli the Westtnghou?e company entertain for a moment belna contrary to pood business principles and contrary to law. "It is a moit obvious thing that a loasonable arrangement betw-??n the two companies with reference to patents wouli be of great benefit to the consumes, and to the public as wen. rne estingnouae directors, however, regarJ their ownership of tho Tcsla patents as reit value, and believe the result of the salt i."w pending against the General Electric Company will be to sustain th?.s- patents, and therefore naturally dislike to give up or share such an dvantage with tholr competitor, and certainly have no notion ot tlolng so exctpt under entirely UiT?tv:u trims ' Charccn Against Hankers.

Leonard, corresponding secretary of the Methodist Episcopal Board of Foreign Missionaries, received a letter to-day from Mr. McAdee, acting Secretary of State, wherein assurances were given that the United States will take all possible means to protect American missions in China. Dr. Leonard received the following cablegram from Foo-Chow to-day: "Gregory proceeds to Ku-Cheng to-day with consuls to investigate the Chinese reports. Hlng-Wa workers ordered to come to Foo-Chow.

Ills Efforts to Secure nn Investigation of the Ku-Chenj? Outrage. WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. Advices have been received at the State Department that Minister Denby Is consulting with the British and Chinese authorities relative to the full and complete investigation of the riots at Ku-Cheng. This commission had not yet been appointed, but it was being formed. There Is no doubt expressed at the State Department that United States interests will be carefully looked after when this commission is appointed. It Is stated also that Minister Denby so far has done all that was possible for a representative of the government to do to bring about reparation and redress. The State Department has given such instructions as will causo the minister to neglect nothing that will insure better protection of the interests of Americans at Ku-Cheng. He will also, with the cooperation of Admiral Carpenter, take steps to prevent further riots and to protect American interests should any new cases of outrage arise. Telegrams have been received at the White House regarding these riots, but they have been sent to the State Department, and not to the President at Gray Gables. The following cablegram, signed by the Chinese Foreign Office, the Tsung Li Yamen, was received at the Chinese legation to-day: "No Americans were injured in the recent riots, though several English were. Five of the rioters have been arrested." This is the first official information which has been received by the legation concerning the recent riots, and the fact that nothlnS waa sen until information of the arrest 0t iSSVy nese government is anxious to have the outside world understand that China is ex ertinS her utmost endeavors to punish those who participated in the assaults on the missionaries. The officials of the legation maintain strenuously that the Chinese gov?lmL11 SJJLl-?18 ffrong -ilrms the assertion that the matter will be left to a partial commission. While !JiInfrtre5ly,,ih? 5rlft2i xll among some of the 'lower classes of the Chinese against foreigners, they contend that the wealthier and better educated do not share this feeling. The legation officials aIso refuse to accept the statement that the officials of the provinces In which the rioting occurred were implicated in the dis turbances. They admit the possibility of negligence, but not of culpability on the part of the officials. They also direct attention to the recent decree of the Emperor for the protection and liberal treatment of missionaries from foreign countries as proof of the absence of antagonistic feeling to this class of foreigners. A Commission of Inquiry. SHANGHAI;' Aug. 'is Mr. Mansfield, the acting British consul at Foo-Chow; Mr. Allen, the British vice consul at Padoga island; Col. J.

He said to-night: "I have reason to believe that a demand will be made upon Chairman Gilkeson by those whose demands he cannot disregard to doctor the - roll of the State convention in his interest. The State committee has the authority to make up the roll, although It has always been left heretofore to the State chairman. In the event that Mr.. Gilkeson does not call the committee In pursuance of a request that I made of him to-day, I trust that every member of the State committee will be in Harrlsburg on Aug. 26, to take its business Into its own hands."

John Sammons is a responsible man. a good farmer, who stands high among his j neighbors, and whose reliability has never been brought into question. He was a brave soldier In the Confederate army, and was one of those who participated in that bloody tragedy on the banks of Chickamauga creek on tne istn of September, lsw. During the hottest of the engagement Sam mons found himself in an exposed condi tion, with v shot ana shell playine high revel around mm, ana he sought such shelter as was afforded by a largo oak tree which was in airect line of fire. While handling his piece a bullet struck his gunlock and cut off the two first Joints of the forefinger of his right hand as clean as a knife would have done it. The dismem bered finger dropped among the leaves, and as he was more particular about saving the balance of his body than about rescu ing as little a thing as a missing finger he made nis way out or tne nght, stanching the bleeding hand as best he could. The war was fought to a finish, and Sam mons came back home and went to. work. charging up his maimed hand to the losses of the Confederacy. Some time ago he de cided to revisit the battlefield, which he had not seen In thirty-two years nearly, and so he betook himself to Chlckamauga, and started to stroll over the battleneld.

BOLD, NOVEL SCHEME SEQUEL TO AX ATTEMPT TO STEAL 9-13,000 OF STEEL HAILS. Effort to Sell Tart of the Material to President F. L Patrick, of the I. & C. S. Railway. CHICAGO, Aug. 13. As a sequel to the bold attempt to rob the Union Pacific Railway Company of thousands of dollars worth of steel rails at Grand Island. Neb., about two weeks ago, A. W. Ralston, of No. 511 Fifty-third street, was arrested to-day. His alleged accomplice, George C. Shanks, Is now held in heavy bond at Grand Island. The larceny was attempted during the night of July 25 last. The alleged thieves chartered eight cars on the Burlington road which at this point runs close to the tracks of the Union Taclflc, and intended to ship the rails of the Union Pacific, which they began to load on the Burlington cars to Chicago. Previous to the attempt to secure the rails at Grand Island, both Rawlston and Shanks, It. Is asserted, were in this city, making arrangements for the disposition of the plunder when obtained. Shanks, it Is claimed, made a contract with a building contractor named Bradley to deliver the rails to him. Shanks, it is claimed, represented to Bradley and his attorney that he would buy the rails of Rawlston and of J. J. Reily, now roadmaster of the Union Pacific at Grand Island. It Is claimed he also made a contract at Rockport, Ind., with F. L. Patrick, president of the Indianapolis & Chattanooga Southern railway, to sell several tons of rails. He. endeavored to get Mr. Patrick to advance $1,200 for freight on the rails. Mr. Patrick promised to advance the money on the presentation of the bill of lading and executed contracts for a large amount of the rall3. Shanks then made contracts with the Black Pollock Iron Company, of this city, lor the rails, to which firm ho represented himself as J. I. Relly, an Omaha contractor. Had the contracts which Shanks and Rawlston had made to del.ver the rails to different parties gone through as they intended that they shouia they would have reaped a harvest of about t45,tOJ. The use of the name of Roadmaster Riley, of the Union Pacific, was entirely unwarranted and he was In no way connected with the transactions of Shanks and Rawlston. Vespers. I leave the city behind me, Shaking its dust from my feet; Leaving it3 thunder and roar of trade, I haste to the covert sweet. Where from dusk of the elm boughs' arching. As In long cathedrals dim. Through the hush of the lingering twilight The thrushes sing a hymn. In the town were hurry and bustle. Ana squalor and sin were there. And the trail of the worship of mammon. And the wearisome burden of care. In the fields are silence and perfume. And one might kneel and pray In the calm and cloistered forest At the tender fall of the, day. . , . The birds go flying homeward To the nest in the tree tops dim. And the vespers die into stillness; The thrush has finished his hymn. Oh! beautiful lanes, I love you As you skirt the babbling brooks, As you seek to the foot of the mountain, As you nnd tne hidden nooks. Where the ferns in great green masses The edge of the swamp land rim. Where I linger till stars awake above. And the thrushes sing their hymn. Harper's Bazar. MADAME IvOHANY AMD TUB WHEEL. She Finds Her Native Syrian Costume Sewly I'sefnl. New York Commercial Advertiser. There is a new bicycle costume at Asfcury Park, and the world of women cyclists who have seen or heard of it are profoundly agitated. The costume is the Syrian trousers, and the wearer, a young and charming woman. come3 not from the West, but out of the Orient. Mme. Korany, woman commissioner from Syria to the world's fair, and since Its close a writer and lecturer on social and political themes, is the wearer, and is the first woman In America to wear this sensible dress on the wheel Mme. Korany is opposed to the caricature commonly known as the "new woman," ana she is likewise opposed to the bloomers; the Syrian trousers she considers a happy compromise between trousers and skirts for the bicycle, and their good points seem to bear out her claim. The long, loose, full trousers are as far removed from bloomers as could well be imagined, yet although they cre ate almost the semblance of a skirt while standing, they have none of the namperlng Qualities of skirts, nor does the wind puff them out Into unseemly shapes, bal loon fashion, while riding. Indeed. even on the wheel they preserve the ceneral outlines of a skirt In a most remarkable manner. Mme. Koranv's trousers are made of dark blue serge, extending about two-thirds of the distance b?low the knee; nere tney are met ty cloth leggings of the same color as the skirt. A soft, wide silken sash is looselv teltfd about the waist, which is a full. rla:n Houre cf ciimson silk with a narrow ruffle about the neck and extending down the front. Over this the black cloth jacket. with it? gold Oriental embroideries, adds a fBBfinatlng and picturesque toucn, wmcn is completed by the Syrian head dres3 of black, with quaint and curious gold orna I mentation. Sometimes, instead of the by rlan cap, Mme. Korany twists a, soft s.arf of black and yellow about her head afier the fash on of her countrywomen, ana men the effect is even more pleasing. "Yes, I am glad cf an opcortunity to wear mv native costume in this country," sne paid yesterday. "I little dreamed, before I came to America, thai I should wear a parb so familiar to me In my own land in such an undiamed of manner. I am very fond of the wheel and I am delighted to find that this costume of my native land la eminently adapted to It." At Astury Park Mme. Koranv has easily been one cf the most admired figures on the wheel this season and her unique cos tume has excited ravoraoie comment. WHEELS AXD PEDESTRIANS. An Interesting Comparison Between Them as to Effort nnd Speed. Philadelphia Times. The Scientific Amelcan prints a very In teresting comparison between a pedestrian and a bicycle, showing the great advan tage of the latter in covering distance with the same amount of effort. It says: The srreat dlstane covered by bicyclists with ease shows conclusively that the hu man walklne apparatus, although It may be the best possible contrivance for all the uses for which It was designed, is not to be compared with wheels, for the one purrose of firettlncr over the cround. A slncle observation of a wheelman going at a mod erate speed shows that, with an effcit which In walking would result In two steps of say two feet each, or a total advance movement of four feet, with the whel the advance movement would be two bicycle steps, or downward pressure of the feet, or each resulting In a forward movement of seven and one.half feet, or fifteen feet for one entire revolution of the pedal shaft, and this with less exertion than Is required to take two steps. In fact, it would be easier for the bicyclist to make fifteen feet on a level with one pressure of one foot than to take two ster. Now, In view of these magnified steps made by the bicyclist. It would be Interesting to know what the stnture of a man must be, to make In walking ths same dis- J tance made by a bicyclist, with the same number of movements of tbe feet. Clear'" the steps In this case must be seven and one-half feet each, which at the lowest estimate represents three steps of an ordinary man. It would, perhaps, be nearer the m4rk to say four steps, but to ba ca

the safe siJe we will call It three, and have made an Illustration showing the comparative size of a wheelman ani a pedestrian built to keep step with him. Th pedestrian must be at least eighteen feet hUh. The man with this jrreat stature would, after all, fall far short of making the speed of the bicycle. There is nothing lika rctary motion; the wheel would te the winner in any race. While the bicycle has the advantage over the extremely tall peJ destrian. it is obvious that the tall wheelman, has no advantage over the short one. XEW Til IN G IX LOCOMOTIVES.

An Appliance Which It Is Promised Will Practlenllr Doable Their Speed. Philadelphia Inquirer. W. J. Holman, a Minneapolis inventor. Is having constructed at Baldwin's locomoxive worxs a locomotive wnica ne proposes to mount upon frlctlon-gearei trucks, which he has designed to increase the speed, safety and economy of railroad travel and transportation. Mr. Holman's Invention Is attracting a great deal of attention Just at this time when the possibilities of the electric motor may make It necessary to adopt .some Improvement, which will still enable steam locomotives to compete successfully with electric power. The railroad managers will not be inclined to cast asldo the locomotives In which millions of dollars are invested until every expedient Is tried which, may make them more effective, and on this account the Invention of Mr. Holman la attracting much Interest and Its trials will be carefully watched. Mr. Holman visits the Baldwin shops dally to watch the progress made upon the construction' of the locomotive, which Is to be completed In four weeks. The trucks are already made and as soon as the locomotive to be used with tnem is finished a. trial will be made upon one of the railroads near Philadelphia and possibly one of the straight and level tracks leading to Atlantic City may be used for the rapid running. The Holman friction-geared trucks are arranged so that one revolution of the hC driver of five leet diameter on the truck would carry the train along as far as a driver of ten feet diameter without the trucks. "This invention," says the inventor "doubles the capacity of the locomotive, or motor, or whatever power is used." The trucks are so Arranged that the usual weight of eight tons on each point of a ariver's contact with tne rail is distributed to the three wheels under the truck, giving each a weight of three and a halt tons. Instead of bringing the . sixteen tons of two drivers over each tie at once, he distributes over four ties. "Now," said he. "there are 230.000 men at $1 or more a day each employed along the 230,000 miles of railroad In the United States, tamping dirt and stone around sunken ties. If It takes sixteen tons to sink a tie, how many times may a threc-and-a-half-ton wheel pass over it without sinking it? An indefinite number of times. The railroads of the United States with this truck can save 9115,000 a day on tne item or track repairs alone. The big drivers of the passenger engines shake their many tons of metal about so that the machinery lstorn to pieces a.bove the speed of forty or fifty miles an hour. The ' limited express locomotives have to go into the repair shop frequently after only one trip. "To reduce the revolutions of these driv ers Just half means a great saving. Then with the trucks, while the locomotive Is raised about thirty inches, the center of gravity Is lowered so that the stability of the whole Is Increased. The friction sur face is increased as from three to seventeen. The durability of the whole engine is increased. The friction cf the Journals is greatly diminished by the antl-frictloa bearings. We made a trial of these trucks on a' disused track of the Northern Facinc railroad at Minneapolis and developed, easily a speed of eighty miles an hour. locomotive No. 939, on the New xork uen-. tral ran at the rate of 112 miles an hour for one mile. It had seven foot two men drivers. Put those drivers on my trucks and they would go two hundred miles an hour. We only want nve-ioot urivera ana on mv trucks they would run right away from No. 999 without the trucks." Older Than It Ought to De. Chicago Tribune.
