remedy which would restore prosperity to the agriculturists o the country was the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Hundreds of thousands of copies of this epeeeh were ent out by the Hlmetalllc league and the national ?llvr committer, nnd there is more demand for tt from the Iemocrallc congressional -campaign committee than ali other literature combined. .Artthoujrh not a delegate Mr. Towne attended and participated In all the silver conferences held in St. Iouls and stoned the add,re?s 5ent out to the country hy the eilver bolters from the convention. He Immediately went to Chicago and worked until the last horn Mew for th nomination of tenator Teller by the Democrats, and his failure to achieve success came a a grievous disappointment. He pWl?M Minnesota to the support of a ticket headed ly Teller. Sine that time Mr. Towne has Ven repudiated by the Republicans of the iixth district, who two years ago elected him to Conffn-. He has not yet announced his fealty to llryan. and hence is free to accept the Populist nomination for thn presidency hhould it be tendered him. The boom for Towic was started by his own personal adherent and irnmediateJy received strong support from several Southern delegations. The argument is advanced that h is the superior of Hryan so far as oratory Is con';emvd, overtops him In Intellect, and Is fully his ro,ual in character. Vhllo Iirya.n drew h!s figures of speech which contributed to hi- fame from the r.ibl Mr. Towne gleaned his from German mythology. The following Illustration in his sr.rch of Feb. 8 attracted general attention: "We are told In an old German legend how . roonstf-r. All?rio. became possessed of a mai;ic ring of gold yrhleh gave him unlimited power, which power he u?d In breaking up and hoarding all the gold and vealth of the world; and that he fashioned for hirr.5'lf a helnut of g:M that enabled him at will to !vcom lmJsil' to men or to take upon himself any form that he pleased. And the world. It Is said, was at the mercy t that monster until the god, Wotan. appeared and tok him captive, while In th Insolence of his power he was boastful'y wearing hia most odiou.- shape. If. sir. ih'Te is in this country to-day a malevolent power, with ring and helmet of gold, row Invisible anil now terrible In a-Pct, as it "either insidiously or opnly undermines the fonndatlon of liberty, could there be for thr Republican party a more glorious destiny then, like the god In th story, to come to the relief of the people?" n kadv to in: sACitiFicnn.

Donnelly Willing to Hun on n Mid-dle-of-the-Hond I'll. t form. ST. LOUIS. July 21. Mr., Ignatius Donnelly was ask'M to-day if ho was a candidate for the presidency. He replied that he was not, but that he would accept if the nomination should be tendered with tht hope of promoting the interests of his party. Mr. Donnelly holds that the party should be maintained intact and that this cannot be done by tho indorsement of Rryan and Sewall. He said that his name had been suggested by live of the congressional districts of his State, but he had considered the movement in the nature of a personal compliment, growing out of local pride, until th present time. He thinka that a fusion of ehetors is possible and accept Cyclone" Davis's plan with favor. "There is a great battle waging here," he said. "The Reform Press Association had the largest meeting it ever held; representing th Populists of the country, it resolved almost unanimously against Mr. Bryan. That will have a great effect. I b-arn to-niarht that the Sonthern vote is almost solidly agamst him. Of course. I only speak at rtndom. as I am told this by delegates. The sentiment is very bitter in the South' because, they say, thy have been for years lighting the Democrats. The fight has been to the death la many cases. They say the Southern Democrats have treated them badly, depriving them of their votes and to turn them over to the Democrats now would mean the death of tho Populist party." FIGHTING JiKWALU Why Mr. Ilatenmn Ik Opposed to InilAminK the .Vhlp Ilallder. ST. LOUIS, July 21. The Populists who Co not Indorse tho vice presidential nominee on a Democratic ticket received additional strength to-night on the arrival of L. C. Ilateman, the nominee on the Populist ticket for Governor of Maine. Matters aro mixed In that State. Mr. Bateman was nominated on tho silver platform the 4th of May. Juno 17 the Democrats, at their convention, adopted a gold standard platform by a majority of ninety. They nominated Mr. Winslow, who stands On this platform and who. It is claimed by 3Ur. Rateman. Is supported by the vice presidential nominee. Inasmuch a Mr. Jtateman is the only representative of tho free-coinage sentiment in Maine on the gubernatorial ticket and Is not receiving the support of Mr. Sewall. he i3 here to flght Mr. Sewall to a finish. He says, tonight: "Mr. Sewall Is now a candidate for the vice- presidency ol the United States on a silver ticket. n advipes his friends to vot for Mr. Winslow. the gold candidate, saying that we must have a new convention and a new silver platform upon which Mr. Winslow can stand. Mr. Sewall was never a greenbacker. I have fought every campaign In Maine or the reform ticket for eighteen years. T.lr. Sewall admitted In an interview, last week, that he was not a greenbacker. He said: 'There must bo a change in the monetary plank of the State Democratic platform ami I believe that there can Ik? no other Democratic candidate for 'Governor but M-r. Winslow.' I will fight Mr. Sewall for trying to run In a notorious gold bug in crder to get votes away from me. I have been a. gretnbacker for many years nnd Mr. Sewall never was a greenbacker and never claims to be." Mr. Rateman. however, paid he would favor r.rj'an as the candidate to head tho ticket. SILVER PARTY'S AIMS. Talk with I. ftrven, Mrmbrr of the Kxec.ntlve Committee. ST. LOUIS. July 21. The Hon. I. X. Stevens, member of the executive committee of th; national silver party, arrived this morning. Speaking of what the silver party will do. he said: "Our party was organized to unite all silver voters Cor the campaign of 1W, without regard to past party affiliations. We started by asking them to lay Wide temporarily their views on other public questions and to unite in one supreme effort to settle the money question this year. Our convention will be largely composed of men who have belonged to the Republican party, and who have been easily, persuaded to Join our ranks for the reason that they do not have to sacritice their convictions on other political questions, but simply subordinate them to the money question. Our convention will nominate Rryan and Sewall on substantially the financial plank of the 'hlcago platform, which will probably be the sole plank ot our piatrorm. ana tnen an address will probably be issued appealing to the American people to hold In abeyance their belief upon other questions and Join with us in restoring the money of the Constitution. We will le a powerful factor In th Middle and Western States in uniting the silver voters. The members of our party undertook this work from motives of patriotism alone: they want no oJUcc; therefore, they have no trades or conditions to deJay them, and th silver convention wil probably complete its work bv Wednesday night. The party has a schcol district organization in all the Middle and Western States. It will bring to the support of Mr. Rryan hundreds of thousands who do not wish to vote a Democraticticket or join the party, but agree with us uron the money question." Li:c.isi.ATivn MiAurn. It Advocate the Initiative nnd Referenduni Jytem. ST. LOUIS. July CI. The direct legislative league, which seeks to engraft the initiative and referendum system on the body politic, will be In session here durln the progress of the Fopullst and silver conxentions. Its first sesNon was hld to-day. The objects are to secure: First, in all future platforms, municipal and local as. well as State and national, the strongest possible direct legislation declaration; second, the widest possible discussion f direct legislation: third, union of reform forces, local or national, for the game candidates, but without necessarily giving up their separate organizations or distinctive issues and platforms. The league demands a direct legislation through tiie initiative and referendum in local. State and national government. Among those present were: Ignatius Donnelly. Minnesota: W. Rreen. Omaha: W. Bt-nnlngton. Topeka: Reed Hiram Vrvenan, Raltlnmre; Nelson O. McClues. Denver; Henry It. Legate, Roston. and Lawrence J. McPharhn. Iockport. N. Y. The pledge taken by members Is: "If the candll.ite of my party for lawmaker refuses to publicly pledge himnlf to direct legislation, then 1 pledge myself to vote for tho candidate oi any other party who will so pledge himzelf." The -members say their purpose is rot to form a new party, but to secure the rdoptlon of their Ideas by parties already L existence. One of them Remarked: "We

have carried our fight before all conventions, and propose to continue In our work." Iteform Kd I torn Ann I nut llryan. ST. LOUIS. July 21. At the meeting today of the representatives of the National Reform Prep Association, which claims to have 1,300 papers In the country, the middle-of-the-road men had a large majority, nnd adopted a strong relutlon in favor of preserving their organization and keeping in tne middle of the road. There was a determined but small minority of the Populist editors in favor of the indorsement of Rryan. The minority presented the following protest against the resolutions, butIt was not submitted to a vote: "With the spirit of the resolution we are in accord, but believe that the only way to relieve the people of this country from gold buslsm and McKlnleyism Is to nominate Rryan and Sewall on a Populist platform." At the conclusion of the meeting this protest was signed by twenty of those present. Pettl!Xrev nnd .evudn Jones. ST. LOUIS, July 21,-Senator Pettigrew. of South Dakota, and Senator Jones, of Nevada, arrived here to-day. The former came direct from Manitou Springs, Col., whore the Republican silver Senators held their conference and whence they issued their manifesto in support of Mr. Rryan's nomination. Senator Jones came from the Kast. where he has been since the adjournment of Congress. Senator Jems is a delegate to the silver convention. He was a member of the last intf-rnatlortul monetary conference and is one of the most eminent bimetallists in the United States, if not in the world, and was most cordially received. Roth Senators are laboring in Mr. Rryan' interest. Imllnna Pops Fenr Democratic Trick. Fpfrial to the Inillanapolis Journal. TIPTON, Ind., July 21. A large number of Populists, who left the old parties four yoars ago, openly threaten that they will not support the nominees of the St. Louis convention if they Indorse Bryan and Sewall. They refuse to be made the victims of a plot to be led into the Democratic party, and they are anxiously waiting the results before they will place themselves on record as b ing opposed to McKinley. Many of the Pop a lists In this county are protectionists, and, whlie they favor free coinage as understood by the Omaha platform, trey are not ready to follow It Into the principles of Democracy on the tarift question. A Southern l-to-l Gavel. ST. LOUIS, July 21. The presiding orhcer of the Populist convention will wield a lC-to-1 gavel. It was presented to the national committee to-day by S. D. Walton, a colored delegate from Georgia, as the gift of J. T. Young, of that State. The gavel has 15 tips of silver and one of gold, and It is made of walput. oak and ash wood, collected from seventeen States sixteen Southern and Western and one Eastern State. Mr. Walton presented the gavel in a neat sp?ch and it was accepted with general applause. Ieln May (io to St. Louis. ST. LOUIS, July 21.-To-day Victor Rerger, delegate from Wisconsin, telegraphed Eugene V. Debs as follows: "You will not fail to do your duty when this country requires your services. The middle-of-the-road people want to nominate 3ou for President. Come at once." In reply, th following was received from Mr. Debs: "Shall try my best to Join you to-morrow." Henry D. Lloyd, of Chicago, also wired Debs, earnestly urging him to come. Interest In the Convention. ST. LOUIS, July 21. As nn illustration of the intense interest manifested by the press of this country in the proceedings cf the Populist convention in St. Ixuls it may be stated that the Western Union Telegraph Company, at D o'clock to-nisht. was working nineteen circuits between St. Loul-j and Chicago, and between this city and the East ten wires to New York city, tivo to Cincinnati, three to Washington and two to Roston, making a total of thirtynine wires. RENT AND TORN. (Concluded from Flmt Tatye.)

This decision had the effect of deciding the State contest between Hugo Prior and John Sites in favor of Pryor. Police were stationed outside the doors of the hall In which the committee held its evening session, and they were frequently In demand to prevent personal encounters between the contesting delegations from Chicago. There was one fisticuff between H. S. Taylor, the leader of the regulars, and Seymour Stedman, of the opposing delegation. Rad blood had been brewing all day, and when the two met In the corridor outside the hall they sprang suddenly at each other, and only the interference of the crowd prevented serious results. Neither was hurt, but as it was very evident that some one was likely to be, the police were called In to preserve the peace. The Illinois case was again under consideration In the committee room. The committee had decided to reopen contests upon the requests of the members of the delegations, which seats were not contested, and who had unanimously declared that the Taylor faction were entitled to tne seats. After an hour's deliberation the committee reversed its decision of the afternoon, which gave half a vote to eftch member of both delegations. They decided to-night by a vote of .10 to 21 to seat the Taylor delegation. There was a considerable feelins in the committee over the contest, and it was especially intense among some of the Chicago people on the outside. They declared that the committee had been packed, and that to-night's session was not necessary to sustain Mr. Taubeneck In bis position of national chairman. The Tau-beneck-Taylor people were very much elated over the result. The ousted faction will press its claims for scats before the committee on credentials. The contesting Fourth Wisconsin district delegation. Rubice A. Cole and Samuel Isaacs for Feats rs alternates, were decided in favor of Cole. The Colorado contest, inrolvlng the scats of the forty-five delegates from that State, was the' last on the list. It was decided without discussion in favor of the regular delegation, headed by the Hon. Thomas M. Patterson. R. A. Southworth, who, since the retirement of Governor Waite. has headed the contesting delegations, who has sat all day as a member of the national committee, made an effort to prevent action by raising the point of no quorum, but he was not sustained. This action on his part attracted attention to him and resulted in the point being raised that he was not a member of the national committee and had no riht to sit as such. There was a motion adopted declaring he was not entitled to a seat in the committee; the motion included those from other States similarly situated. The committee then adjourned. THK PLATFORM. Questions to He Covered in tlic Declaration of Principles. ST. LOUIS. July -21. While there are many platforms floating about there appears to be comparatively little crystalization of ideas. The subject has received nothing like the attention that was given to the same matter prior to the Republican and Democratic conventions. There have been no conferences of mtn selected by common consent as In those two conventions, prior to meeting, to prepare the declaration of party.principles. and it is apparent that the matter will be left largely until the committee on resolutions shall be called on to act. It is generally conceded however, that the lines of the Omaha platform will, be closely followed: that the money, transportation and bond questions will receive their chief attention. The convention will demand that the government shall control the railroads, that silver shall be coined free and in quantities limited by the supply, that the government shall .issue a sufficient supply of paper mcney to supply the demands of business, nnd that the national banks shall be abolished. It is believed that the subtreasury scheme will be dropped. Cyclone' Davis's Scheme. ST. LOUIS. July 2l.-Mr. Davis has prepared and will ask the Populist convention to adopt the following resoiutlon: "Wliereas, McKinley and' the Republican party represent the existing gold standard, the perpetuation of which means that the national banking system is to be chartered for fifty years and that our national debt Is to be refunded and made a gold instead of a coin debt, and the bonds to run fifty years: and, "Whereas. This system Is to be fastened on the country by a treaty with foreign nations under the. false pretense of an international conference, .which means the ultimate enslavery of the masses and the complete establishment of .the classes: "Resolved, That to defeat -this measure and Insure Mr. McKinJey's defeat, so far as our vote goes, we pledge ourselves to unite with the Democrats on one et of electors in each State." This is the sentiment ot the "middle-of-the-road' Topullats.

LONDON, July ; riueen Victoria arrived at Paddlngton station from Windsor Castle at 3 o'clock this afternoon. She will attend the wedding of Princess Maud of Wales, her granddaughter, and Prince Charles of Denmark, at Buckingham Palace, to-morrow. Immediately on reaching the city to-day her Majesty was driven to Marlborough House, where a large number of royal personages from abroad, who have come to be present at the wedding, were awaiting her arrival. As the royal procession was leaving Windsor Castle for the railway station the horses attached to the carriage preceding the one In whiclt the Quetn rode and which bore her Majesty's Indian attendants bolted and overturned the carriage. The driver and one of the Queen's attcnt ants were badly hurt The Queen's carriage followed quietly. Her Majesty was much perturbed by the accident and asked, with particularity, as to the condition of the men vho had been hurt. There was no demonstration along the railway route from Windsor Castle to Paddlngton. Arriving at the latter station, the Queen walked to her carriage with slight assistance trom an attendant, fine appeared to be in good health. She was dressed in black. Having been seated in an open landau, her Majesty was driven to Marlborough House, where she made a brief stay and viewed the wedding presents, after which she proceeded to Buckingham Palace. A gocd deal of excitement was caused for a short time this evening by some curtains and other drapery in a room in the fourth story of Buckingham Palace becoming ignited by some unknown cause. Quite an ugly looking blaze sprang up and an alarm was turned in which brought the fire engines and the fire escapes to the scene. The fire, however, proved to be trivial and was soon quenched. The Queen was within the palace at tho time and everything possible was done to keep her Majesty from being further perturbed after her experience of witnessing the runaway accident. Princews Mnud'n Gown. WASHINGTON, July 21.-A most entertaining and unique report has reached the State Department from United States Consul Meeker, at Bradford, enclosing two samples of the wedding gowns selected for the trousseau of Princess Maud. One is of pure black mohair with raised black diamond figures, and the second is a pure white mohair with small flowered effects. These were selected by the royal family from a large number of samples submitted for approval by the Bradford merchants, who are very proud of the distinction conferred on their town by the choice of their wares for the use of royalty, and naturally expect an enormous rush of patronage as a result of the advertisement. It appears also, from Mr. Meeker's report, that America is not the only country where the modish set believe that goods must he of foreign origin to bo worthy of their use and attention. The British merchants have complained bitterly for a-long time because of the preference shown for French and other European fabrics over the productions of their looms, although they make goods of undoubted superiority not only In quality, but In design. Mr. Meeker cites some interesting facts to show this home prejudice against local goods and its small foundation. He says it transpires that some Bradford goods had already been selected at a London drapers by the royal family, simply on their merits, and without knowing that they were of domestic origin. It has been discovered that English dress goods hav been Imported into France and re-exported to England and sold as French goods. One of the prominent manufacturers of Rradford had long been trying in vain to induce his wife to have a gown made of his own goods. Ills triumph can be imagined when on one occasion sne appeared fresh from the hands of her London dressmaker handsomely gowned in a fabric made by himself, but sold in London as a "French novelty." JAPA.N-CHIXKSE TREATY. The Victorious Nation Secure Valuable Concessions. LONDON. July 21. A dispatch received here from Tekln says that a commercial treaty between China and Japan was signed at that city to-day. It is based o the treaty of Shimonski. Under its provisions China grants to Japan favored treatment, but Japan does not reciprocate. Japanese factories may be established in China, but the duties that may be laid against their output has not been fixed. Uprising in Formosa. LONDON. July 21. A Singapore dispatch ro the Times says that native uprisings are reported from the island of Formosa, and the Japanese there aro said to be hard pressed. A missionary In Formosa wrote recently to the London Times alleging that Japanese were exterminating the Formosans. burning their villages and killing them by hundreds. The Formosans have proved on more than one" occasion that they are willing and able fighters, and the above dispatch indicates what may prove a serious revolt agaln3t the newly-Imposed Japaiv.se rule.

Xerr York Banker Prepared to Make Good the Treasury Louies. NEW YORK, July 21. In pursuance of the Informal agreement of tho national banks of this city to protect the treasury gold reserve, several meetings of bank officials were held again to-day to consider -the situation. In an informal way bank ofllclals generally confirm the reports that the banks are prepared to turn into the subtreasury an amount of gold extending al least to half of their holdings. It is understood that President Tappan. of the Gallatin National Bank, and several other officials favor holding all their gold at the disposition of the Treasury. Department. rihe directors of the National City Bank met this morning and agreed to contribute $2,000,000 in gold as the bank s share toward replenishing the treasury reserve. Well-informed financiers say that but for the present excitement there would be no need of any protective measures. At ihe same time the exchange market is very strong and exports of gold are expected to be made on Thursday and Saturday to a fairly large extent. WASHINGTON, July 21.

BOLT OF JUDGE CRAVENS

IIKXDRICKS'S OLD Rl'XMMS MATE IS OUT FOR M'KlSLCY. Indiana Pnpallntft W III ot Give Enthusiastic Snpport if Ilrynn Should Re Indorsed. Freclal to the Inlianapolis Journal. MADISON. Ind., July 21.-Hon. John R. Cravens last week stated that he could not indorse the Chicago platform. "The nominee," he said, "amounts to nothing. Parties are understood to be judged by their platform of principles, and the thinking people cf this country cannot afford to elect any candidate favoring a set of principles so menacing to the national honor and the best interests of the whole people as the monstrosity enunciated at Chicago." The defection of Judge Cravens will have quite an Influence on the Democratic party, with whu?h he has been so long and honorably identified In this county. He was a life-long friend and associate of the late Governor Thomas A. Hendricks, and ran on the Democratic State ticket with him for Lieutenant Governor. Rev. Father Henry Flin, the bright young parish priest of North Madison and always heretofore a Democrat, repudiates the Chicago platform and nominees and will vote for sound money. Grant County Politics.

July 21.-The Democratic convention to nominate a candidate for joint Senator for Tipton and Hamilton counties met here to-day. Tipton county was represented by "Calamity Jim" Fippen and five faithful followers. Only six of the nino townships of this county were represented. Outside the speech of "Calamity Jim" the meeting was more like a funeral than a live political convention. The leaders and business men of the party were conspicuous by ther absence, only two representative business men of this city being present. Fippen's speech was of the usual calamity type, howling against London and New York bankers and against Cleveland. Hill. Carlisle, Sherman, Harrison and al sound-money men of the country. His mournful story of the oppression of the farmer and laborer will deceive no one here, as they all know that the bad limes were brought about by the Democratic party.

More Tli an 20.000 Cars Stored Along the Union Pacific Lines. Kansas City Journal. During the past month the officials of the Union Pacific Company have been at work securing accurate figures as to the surplus corn stored in the territory along its lines in the State of Kansas. The work has been undertaken for the purpose of ascertaining what amount of freight there was to be handled if the prices should begin to move the crop. There is In sight one of the largest crops In the history of the State and the surplus corn from last year will have to move soon or else the farmers will have to arrange to feed it. The general Impression is that it is certain to start to market shortly even though the prices remain low. The result of the investigation of the Union Pacific was made known yesterday and it was stated that there was stored in the cribs alons the lines of the Union Pacific system more than 20.000 cars of corn. With this large supply from last year and an enormous yield now assured for the maturing crop, there will be so large a surplus that it will be ouite sufficient to hold prices down to a low figure during the coming year. The other lines in the State are at work trying to secure an approximate idea of the amount of grain in store in their territory and their reports from time to time will be interesting news.
