As a city, wo have no direct means of either hniiimr or controlling your deliberations or final action. Conventions in this hospitable city aro untramnieled nnd unhampered by any views which the city maintains." TUB. HOHriTAIJTT OF MISSOURI. Gov. Stone followed with a brief but hearty welcomo on the part of the state. After extending the hospitality of Missouri, he said; "One word moro. In the deliberations of the convention. In the expression of political sentiments, 1 would ndvlse moderation. I do not like namby-pamby men. I do not like milk and cider. I l)ellevo that men should bo outspoken, but I would impress upon you that extravagance nnd exaggeration nnd Intemperate exfiresslons of opinion may excite hostility, and f you indulge In It the convention will do more harm than good. I do not know yet how many states ro hero represented. There has been nome talk of tho body 1 eing sectional. I believe It to Ik) a national convention. I now bid you a double welcome, and express tho hope tho your deliberations le temnered by wisdom: that you will bo prudent, and that tho work vou havo undertaken may be carried through to a most successful Issue." ZIESPON3K. On 1 ehalf of tho delegates S. S. King, of Knnfas City, reponded. He referred to tho charge Of sectionalism mado against bl metalllsts and Ud that the chargo was made by eastern dates, which had shown undoubted local seift. hness. He did not see then why they should avoid an appearance of sectionalism, He closed -wl'.h an earnest compliment to St. Louis for its Snn stand during the late financial troubles. Tho call was thou read by tho secretary. Gov. Tillman was electod temporary chairnan. His address was brief, but It was well filled with southern Are. After thanking the delegates he plunged at once Into tho subject beforo tho convention. He said ho had come out to boo if they of South Carolina could trust the west. He had a number of questions to ask which he would put later In thu session and ho wanted definite answers. It had been said that politics should havo no part in tho convention. That wa.s nil right so far siH Iho other issues were concerned, but if the delegates had met just to pass resolutions and then rest on their oars ho was ready to put on his coat and go home, Thoy r-f tho south had tieen mado victims of the north, nnd the west was Just awakening to tho fact that it had been ground under the heal of the northeast. Ho didn't want any sectionalism. They of the south had had enough of that. "Hut whero Is this country anyhow! cast of the Ohio and north of the Potomac? Gov. Tillman suddenly paused and said ho would speak further at another time. Olney Newell was elected temporary secretary nnd tho following committee wero appointed: On Credentials Dohrer, Ituby, Culp, Merrick and Osborne. On Permanent Organization E. W Snyder, W. H.

Gov. dwelling ifpoko briefly in acknowledgment of the honor conferred upon him nnd then said that Mrs. Mary K. Lease would make Ills speech for htm. Mrs. Iasa was conducted to tho plntform by Gen. Weaver and was received with unthuslatle applause. Tho words of Introduction were lost In cheers. Evidently no Introduction was needed. Mrs. Lensc handled the subject of the money tinsls without gloves. She spoke of the patriotic Americans who in tho last century fought to gain freedom from England, Hut now tho cowardly political and ilnanclal leaders of America, led by the gold tyrants of Wall Htreet, aro cringing to tho monarchical goldmoney basis of tho mother country. We havo met to servo notice upon tho money kings of Wall street that wo want and will have not only a sound money, b'lt a sufficient quantity of money. Thank Heaven tho west and south bnvo united on this question, and If uccossary wo will take down that hateful Mason und Dixon Una and place it -where It scemi to belong between tho east .and west. Wo -must meet on a broad plain of American citizenship and make indeed a government of, for and by the people COMM 1TTRC ON ItlWOl.tJTtONS. The following committee on resolutions was appointed: It.

It dealt largely with statistics which were Introduced lu substantiation of statements and to augment the fore a argumenta. The toplo

of traftlo was ttrst taken up. Tho watered

stocks of railroad corporations wero attacked and the Improvement of natural highways of tratflo the waterways advocated. There could be no doubt of Mr. Flsk's knowledge of bl mntalllsm. Having shown the present situ tlon In terse laacuage ha spoke of remedies, The only remedy awMcxted, the only one, he argued, which should become a permanent financial system, was free colaage of sliver. If this could not bo had at present, some make hl ft saust be secured for the tlmo being. Cer tiflcatcs on stored silver bullion, which has been discussed often, to the makeshift. An other and better one was that the stall's should make foreign coin legal tender- This ho be lleved practicable and the best possible pres ent solution et the difficulty- In conclusion ho bade thu delegates stand tlrm, and prophesied ultimate success. OEM. WXAVF.H. Gen. Weaver was called upon and spoke briefly. The principal question nt tho present time, he said. Is; "What shall bo our perma nent systom of finance." Gen. Weaver's ideas are woll known nnd In the few minutes during which ho spoke he derolod himself not so much to answering tho question propounded as to impressing upon the delegates tho importance of some solution not a tern porary makeshift, but u permanent so lutlon, Itegardlng Mr. Flsk's proposal for tho states to make foreign coin legal tender Gen. Weaver pointed to tho fact that tho power of such regulation rested In congress and was taken away from the states. With congress rests tho responsibility and from congress must be demanded relief. Gen. Weaver's description of the president and present congress was expressed by tho words recreant." "And If wo can't get relief from them now. wo will meet them again at the bal lot-box and will keep this up during our nat ural lives, or until wo win our end," Gen. Weaver read a letter from President Cleveland explaining his stand upon the finan cial question. This letter Gen. Weaver ana lyzed sentence by sentonce, ridiculing each idea advanced. When he had finished speaking the conven tlon adjourned for tho day. Second Owv. St I.oris, Oct. 4 The Jelegntes to the PanAmerican bbmetalllc convention were slow In assembling, and it was 10 o'clock before a suf ficient number had arrived to warrant Gov. Lowe Hing of Kansas to call them to order. A largo number of letters wero read that had teen forwarded by leading bi-metallists of the country who were unable to attend tho con vention. Congressman II. P. Hland wrote that he was in full sympathy with the objects of the convention. Gov. Flshbnck of Arkansas sent ns a letter the speech he would havo delivered had he attended. The letter was a review of the financial legislation of a hundred years, on expression that every Interest demanded the remonotlzation of silver and the removal of the high protective tariff. Tho policy of the government Is at this time antagonistic to the commercial life and presperlty of the west and south. Tho remedy lies in tho ballot nnd not In the wild talk of commercial secession and the Isms of "populism run mad." Other letters were read from A. J. Warner. T. L, Nugent, of Texas; David Obcrmeyer, of Kansas: 1 E. Dee. of New York, and W. II. Standlsh. attorney-general of North Dakota. all breathing the spirit of opposition to tho in fluence exerted by Hritlsh gold. . W alter N- Allen. of Kansas, a farmer delegate. delivered a strong silver speech, heavy with statistics. A. C. Powers read a paper prepared by A. Walcott. of Maryland, taking strong grounds ngalnst international bl-mctallism. Judge Osborne, of Texas, read a Knights of Labor financial platform. At tho afternoon session Judge S. S. King tollvcred an address on "The Transportation Question," and a number of resolutions on every conceivable subject were read and re ferred to the committee on resolutions. Tho committee on resolutions reported at tho evening session as follows: WlfEUKAS. Tho nroducinir. manufacturing mercantile, financial, transportation and other business interests of the United Si:it,v nr.. paralyzed by a patent and universally-confessed lack of sufficient nctual money to meet the requirements of legitimate trade: and wiiKiiKAS. we believe in glvlnir full and equal legal tender power to every dollar bearing tho stamp of tho government, which nlonn gives a money value: and Wiieueas. The gold and silver nroduend In tho mines of tho United States are necessary for tho requirements of tho country for coin, it Is essential that congress take such net inn relative to tho coinage of the two money metals ns will restore silver to the position it held In 1HT3: and WimiKAs, The present deplorable condition of the producing ard all other Industrial and commercial Interests Is the legitimate fruit of a vicious financial system, established by and maintained in tho interests of a plutocracy which threatens our liberties; and Wiikiikah United action is necessary botr.'een the parties to any common interests to secure ImtHirtant and lasting results; and Wlir.HBAH.IJy geographical position, diversity of God given agrl ultural. industrial and other natural capabilities and resources, the western and southern states and tTrltoties of tho United States are happily fitted for mutual Intercourse and dependence, responding alike to tho some beneficent or dctermlnal Influences and effects, whether legislative, financial or commercial; It is the sense of this convention, that ln.vlew of these facts, and of tho continued flagrant disregard of the vital interests of the great producing states by the dominant Influences in national centers, financial and political, that a clesr alliance between tho Inhabitants of tao west and south Is Imperatively demanded, for the purpose of mutual protection asd advancement along all legitimate lines. We assert that, white this Is true of the southern and westoru states, it is also truo that the manufacturing states of the east can not enjoy prosperity while tho south and west are depressed, and ure not provided with moncv with which to purchase the product of their factories. And we declare that In all material matten which affect the general prosperity of our co-mtry, the several states are and must of necessity bn independent; and Wnr.ur.AH. Tho coinage of sliver upon the basis herein demanded has repeatedly been Invited, and Is conceded to be necessary to tho upbuilding of trade relations of Incalculable magnitude between the United States and our sister republics of North and South America: 1. It is thorcforo resolved that wo demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the established ratio of 18 to 1, giving to such coin equal lejnl tender powers with gold, That we are unalterably opposed to the repeal of tho so-culled Sherman law. except by the passage of n law providing for tho free nnd unlimited coinage of silver at the established ratio of 10 to I. 3. That our representatives In congress instruct the chief executive to issue u call for nn early convention of nil nations Interested In nnd favorable to tho free coinage of silver at the ratio of Ifl to 1. for the puriwso of. estate llshlng closer commercial and Ilnanclal relations with them. 4. That tho total nmount of gold now In existence, or capable ofsproductlon under tho stimulus of Its Increased value, la totally inadequate to supply the demands of the world for money, and tho adoption of the single gold standard will result In universal bankruptcy and ruin, anil we deularo that such un act on the part of our government would bo a flagrant violation of tho constitution of the United States. In that It would lmnalr all existing iontracts and douldo tho obligations of all debtors, nod wc declare It to bo tho duty of all patriotic cttUens to resist In the courts und at the bnllot-box Its adoption and enforcement, If adopted. S. That wo are opposed to the further Issuo of government lwnds, and doclaro that tho real purpose of tho proposed Issue of bonds Is tho perpetuation of the national banking system, to which we nro unalterably opposed, for the reason that It enables a few selllsh Individuals at their pleasure to contract or expand tho volumo of tho currency to the great Injury of the masss; nnd wo demand a ilnanclal system which shall prevent the congestion of money In the Ilnanclal comer of tho east. fl. That we urge the speedy Improvement by the national government of tho great waterwavs, and particularly those which drain the vast agricultural region of tho south and west, and we Invite tho active co-operation of tho great mercantile Intorest In securing tho creation of moro direct routes to the ocean, in order that oifr products may reach tho markets of the world at a minimum cost. 7 Thnt we send greetings to the representatives and sanators In congress who have alood by their pledges made before election and who are contending for the rights and lntorcsts of tho pcoplo who elected them. We thank them In tho name of American liberty, and wo hold In undying contempt those who seek to betray us, and make this country a tlnuntlal dependency of Great Hrltaln. At the conclusion of the reading of theroport two minority roports wero submitted. Ono of the latter Is algned by II. It. Tabor, of Dm City ot Heike, aad fevers the Issuance I

legal tender nates secured by real estate. The tfcond minority report was that submitted by Gov, Wulte. Jt wuutod the legislature of th different states to declare foreign coin legal tender. It was evident that the minority report had friends in tho convention, and that the majority report would meet with opposition, und it was, therefore, concluded to adjourn until 9 o'clock Thursday morning for their ilual consideration. Third Hay. St. Loitis. Oct. 6 Tho third and last dsy'e session of the Pan-American bl-iuetalllc convention was devoid of any sensational features, the principal proceedings being the discussion and adoption of the majority report of tho comtnittee on resolution, which had been present

ed Wednesday. Tho convention was called to order by Secretary Olney Newell. In tho absence of the chairman, and, on motion, Col. A. C. Klsko was mado temporary presiding officer. Tho delegates proceeded almost Immediately to tho discussion of the resolutions, J II. Follett moving the adoption of the majority reinirt. Mr. Watcrbury, of Kansas, moved an amendment to tho orlgjnal report, uddlng tho minority report of 11. II. Taylor, of the City of Mexico, providing for the Issuance of legal tender notes, secured by real estate, to be mortgaged to tho government. State Senator Cochran, of St. Joseph, opposed the udoption ot tho minority report in vigorous terms. This report was defended by Its proposer. Mr. Taylor, and also by Mr. Waterbury, both shaking at length. Gov. Tillman of (South Carolina was thea called upon, and stated that he did not approve of tho land-currency scheme. An attempt to cover too wide a field should not bo made, ami tho delegates would hardly take kindly to a new basis of currency. Following him cumo Gov. Walto, who argued that thj convention should confine Itself to ono Issuo, tho silver question. Free coinage was tho practical matter before It. and such action should bo taken ns would advance tho Inter ests of thoso sections which had representa tives present Delegate Manning, of Alabama. delivered an address in favor of the uniting of tho south and west for free coinage, Mr. Skaggs. of Alabama, followed with a criticism of President Cleveland, in which be stated that tho south had come to realize and deeply regretted its mistake In voting for Cleveland as president. He charged tho presldont with bolng tho enemy of the people, having .shown his character in the message to congress. Hrlef addresses wero made by Delegates Taylor nnd Gov. Walte, both of whom pro fessed their willingness to withdraw their minority reports. Tho question of a vote on tho majority report then camo up. nnd after some dicu.slon it was decided to postpone the vote until after noon. The convention then took a recess until 3 o'clock. AKTEllNOON SESSION. Gov. Lewelling called tho afternoon sesslot. to order at S:2J o'clock. Capt. C. A. Powers, of Indiana, read a resolu tion calling a convention of freo silver men In January, 1MM, to formulate a nlan of campalgr for the next congressional and Presidential elections. The regular order of business was called for. however, and the resolution was laid over. Dr. S. S. King, of Kansa-j City, was then given the floor to discuss tho resolutions. He dwelt upon that portion which referred to the improvement of ail the great waterways of tho country, and especially thoso of the west and south, and udvocated this In strong terms. The silver convention held last August In Chicago was also discussed and the unfriendliness of the Chicago press toward tho convention commented upon. 1 he question of the adoption of the majority report of the committee on resolutions was then placed beforo tho convention, and by & unanimous vote it was declared adopted. Tho resolution offerc 1 by Capt. Powers was then called up. but the gentleman from Indiana stated that ho had concluded to withdraw it. This practically ended tho business of tho convention. On motion, tho thanks ot the convention were tendered tho city of St. L.ouis nnd th press. A motion was made by S. II. Snyder. ot Kansas, and unnnlmously adopted, that the president and secretary of tha Pan-Amoricau IJI-motallle league 1m empowered to Issue a call for another convention when one. In their udgment, was deemed necessary, this conven tion to Include delegates from all parts of the country favoring tho free coinage of silver at a ratio of löto I. Tho convention then adiourted sine die. A LIVELY VACATION. Sim Sought a Quiet Place and She Found One. "Try not to notice my nervousness, please," said the pirl whose face was pale and whose eyes had a haunted ook. "I've just returned from tho country, where I've been on my vacation. I selected an isolated village so as to get as far away as possible from noisy cable cars and trucks. Many other persons were struck with the idea at the same tiin for when I arrived at my little rustic farmhouse the housewife escorted me to the parlor said it was the only vacant room she had" here her shoulde'rs quiverod as if sho had a chill. "Tho house had ijreen shades that were always drawn down to the lowest notch. Tho furni ture was upholstered in that black, scratchy haircloth that makes you think of an undertaker's shon.

Another night I thought that I as burled alive, and I could uven smell tue damp earth. Kvery morning I had to go around to tho pump in order to wash my face. Of course, hair-curling was out of tho question, inasmuch as there wasn't a mirror, except one m the kitchen, that the old gentleman called his shavingglass. "Oh, that room!

All that could be done was to mass their forces on West Third street and the bridge and wait for the Humes. Hero b desperato and successful effort was made to prevent the ilames from cross ing the street and penetrating to tho heart of the business district, and to tho lumber-yards and Hour mill district. Noz.el men were stationed in front of the wall of ilames to shec and keep wet the buildings tin the opposite side of the street, while other pipemen played on them in turn to keep their clothing from igniting. Finally the Ilames were cheeked at. the very border of a district where, had they entered, a clean sweep would havo been made to the Missouri river, and the loss would have exceeded half a million. Four squnre blocks were burned as it was and the loss is close to $'.'00,000. Thirty buildings were burned.

Ciiicaoo, Oct. 111. Frenzied with fright and driven into stampede by a raging fire that broke out early last evening in the Wallace-street barns o! the Chicago Street Railway Co. 503 horses were suffocated or burned tr, death. The barns were totally destroyed. They were located at Wallace and Thirty-ninth streets ami wero among the most extensive under Hio control of the company. They occupied the large brick building two stories in height and extending 400 feet on Wallace street and ninety on Thirty-ninth. The fire broke out about ß o'clock, and at once the low building was surrounded with ilames. They burst from windows on cither side und entrance through the doorways was cut off. Inside, the horses were helpless.. They were blinded by the glare of the flames and the smoke that rolled through the place in great volumes, and soon a stampede was in progress. The animals surged back and forth in fifties and hundreds, led on in their mad rush to escape. Their neighing and an occasional of pain told the people on loud cry the street of the fearful scenes that were being enacted on the inside. Yet little or nothing could be done to save any of the animals. Gradually the sounds of the stampede grew fainter and fainter, and when the first group of firemen had forced their way into thu barn they saw charred carcasses lying about on every hand. Tho loss on the building Is $125,000; the loss on horses about $50,000, and that on cars and feed will bring the total loss to about $110,000. FIRE AT WAYNETOWN, IND.

LORD MAYOR SHANKS

Succeeds In Making- lllmirlf llVraoua Noii lrat with the World' fair Ahtkurltlea liy Kiponhiff Ills Iffm'ratire Ih a 1'uit fr.mdlal Speech, fur WliKh II was Promptly Turned lluwu lijr Dir Z ector-tltMieral Oavlt. Woiti.D's Faik Ghouniih, Ciiicaoo, Oct. 111. Dublin's lord mayor, James Shanks, is persona mm grata with tho high governing oillclals of tho fair today, particularly with Director-General Davis. Tho trouble was caused by the lord mayor's ill-advised discourteous speech at the Music hall banquet at an early hour this morning. Not half a hundred of the banqueters remained until that time, and most of them stood In a cluster around the directorgeneral, who was acting as toastmaster. Executive Commissioner Hovey, of Massachusetts, came to the banquet prepared with an interesting speech, which he was to deliver in response to tho toast "The ExecutiveCommissioners of the United States." Long before it came his turn to speak, just before the closing address of President Higinbotham, the representative of Massachusetts left the banquet hall, with feelings of ill-concealed disgust, because of the confusion created by the foreign and other guests j and their persistent refusal to listen to the speeches. So tho ' director-general announced that Mr. Hovey's place on the programme would be taken by Mayor Shanks, who had evidently come primed to make a discordant .speech although his name, as he took pains to inform Iiis hosts at the beginning of hiss speech, was not on the list. His first complaint was that through an unintentional oversight the name Ireland was not included in the toast, "Great llritain nnd Her Colonies." The director-general felt offended when the lord mayor also complained that Ireland was not represented at the fair with a building of her own and courts of her own. When he said: "Tho next time don't have the McKinley tariff," Col. Davis, who is a staunch republican, stood up, and his eyes flashed with indignation. Hesaidtohis friends around him: "I will call him down for that." When Mayor Shanks sat down no- I hotly applauded the sentiments, nnd the director-general quickly arose. In firm but polite language lie informed the lord mayor that it was no time or i place, and it ill became him as a guest ' when asked to respond for nn Amer-1 tcan commissioner, to criticise Amer-1 lean statesmen. As to his complaint ' that Ireland was not represented as a nation, it was absurd as well as dis courteous to the exposition officers because only nations recognized as such by all the civilized powers could bo ' represented at the World's fair. The , lord mayor looked abashed and made ' no reply. j TROUBLE IN THE AIR, i l'osslbllltr of Another Indian Outbreak In the I'Iiim ItldKe Section. Chicago, Oct 13. There is said to be a strong possibility of another Indian outbreak in the Pino Ridge section. The Uig Foot band, which Col. Forsythe seriously crippled some time ago, recently marched. 400 strong, including 1.10 lighting bucks, from the Standing Kock agency to Pine Ilidge, where they declared they would remain if they had to fight. They said their people were buried there, and they wanted to make it their home. Capt, Penny immediately called out his sixty Indian police, arming each with forty rounds of cartridges, to preserve order, and a trtiop of the famous Ninth cavalry were dispatched to escort the Dig Foot Indians back to Standing Dock. This may precipitate trouble. As Pine Itidge is not in this military division nothing is known of any Iudian troubles here; but James F. Asay, Indian trader at Pine Itidge, who is now in Chicago, says he left there a few days ago. and that there is trouble in the air. MAY BE EXTENDED.

The special committee recently appointed to consider the question of keeping the fair open after this month, has practically decided in favor of doing so as long as the weather will permit and as long as the people come in suflicicnt numbers to make it proiltable. The plan is to continue charging the present admission fees and to induce as many foreign and Ameri can exhibitors to keep their displays intact as possible. Many foreign exhibitors have already agreed to do so, and everyone who has an exhibit was given a permit for the removal from the fair upon application. The .1 . i..- . , . .. ucparuneiii oi atunissions and tue executive oilicers of the fair are making their arrangements for November as if the plan had been formally adopted.
