SILVER MEN TO MEET.

Call for a Convention of the Bimetallic League at Chicago, August 1. W aßhikgtok, July s.—The folio win* call for a national convention of the American Bimetallic league, signed by A. J. Warner, president, and W. M. Barrington, secretary, was issued from the national headquarters of the league Tuesday afternoon: ••The culmination of events of the greatest moment to the people of this country calls for wise council and determined action on the part of all patriotic citizens. A concerted purpose la manifest to seize upon the present opportunity to destroy sliver as money and to establish finally and lorever the single gold standard, and at one stroke to change all debts to gold debts, with a never-ending rise of gold and fall of prices ‘‘A financial disturbance, largely artificial and needless, has been created as an ‘object lesson,’ and falsely attributed to the present silver law, in order out of it to create a manifestation of public sentiment, under cover of which the greater crime of overthrowing the money of the constitution and establishing the tingle gold standard may be consummated. As a part of the same great conspiracy the mints of India have been closed, and the shock Is felt around the world. “Congress has been called to meet in extra sestion on August 7. If at this sessionthe money standard of the constitution is overthrown and the single gold standard Is finally established, to be extended over the world, an economic revolution will have been inaugurated more disastrous to the welfare of mankind, and especially to the producing and laboring classes, than any in the history of the world. “In view, therefore, of the threatening conditions that have arisen and in answer to numerous appeals for action the executive committee of the American Bimetallic league haa deemed it proper to call a national convention, to be held at Chicago beginning August 1 and to continue as long as the convention may direct.

“All members of the league are urged to attend, and all who are in favor of maintaining the money of the constitution and opposed to the establishment of the single gold standard in the United States without regard to party are Invited to attend and participate in the deliberations of the convention. All economic associations and all Industrial organizations are requested to send delegates to this convention. A special Invitation is extended to memhers of congress and members of state legislaturea Governors of states are requested to appoint as many delegates as they may deem proper.” The idea of the silver people is to meet at Chicago and adjourn to Washington. Here the convention will reassemble at about the time when congress convenes and will probably continue in session until after the organization of that body. Gen. Warner made the following statement Tuesday evening: “A thorough poll of the silver foroes establishes the fact that the Sherman law cannot be repealed without a substitution which will bo satisfactory to the silverites. This canvass of strength has been in progress since the day after the issuance of the president’s proclamation. It has been pushed actively by means of personal consultation, mail and telegraphic communication. When the canvass jyas begun the first effect of the anti-silver blow was still felt, and there was a manifest fear on the part of the silver men that the Sherman law would be repealed. Gradually this fear gave way to hope, and in turn this has been supplanted by defiance.” Ihis statement of Gen. Warner reflects the sentiments of the free silver men here, and there can be no doubt that within the last twenty-four hours they have gained renewed confidence in the belief that the Sherman act cannot be repealed without giving the silverites something equally as good or better. This hope is in the senate, and they boldly announce that they will never give up the Sherman law unless they can be conciliated with a measure that is more friendly to silver. .With the determination of such men to repeal the present law may be a difficult m ter.

HUGHES PARDONED.

Gov. Flower Orders the Release of the I.ahor Reader. Rochester, N. Y., July 5. James Hughes, of Chicago, the ex-master workman of district assembly 231, Knights of Labor of this city, wiio has been sentenced to one year in the Monroe county prison, and for whose release the local assemblies of the state have been working earnestly, will become a free man to-day. Gov. Flower has granted a pardon to the convicted labor leader and it will be executed this morning. [Hughes’ conviction grew out of the trouble between the Rochester clothing manufacturers and their employes in 1890. Several firms were forced to pay to the order of Master Workman Hughes sums ranging from 81,000 to 82,000 each to avoid a boycott. At last the employers united and March 7, 1891, locked out all their cutters. In June of the same year Hughes was indicted for extortion in connection with the trouble, was convicted and sentenced to one year's imprisonment An appeal to the general term resulted in a confirmation of the conviction. The case wa then carried to the court of appeals, but before it was argued February 6 last Hughes came to Rochester and announced that he was prepared to serve his sentence. For five months he has been an inmate of the penitentiary. He has worked as a clothing cutter, and never caused the offleiajs any trouble. February 20 Master Workman Wright, of the Garment Cutters' union, declared off the boycott which had been standing against Rochester clothing ever since the lockout, and from that time efforts to obtain Hughes’ release had been unceasing.]

MIDWINTER FAIR ASSURED.

Voluntary Contributions of 8300,000 Place the Big Scheme on a Safe Footing:. San Francisco, July s. —Three hundred thousand dollars have been offered to the managers of the proposed midwinter fair by voluntary subscribers before a systematic canvass is begun, and there seems to be no doubt that fl,000,000 can be raised without great difficulty. The subscriptions include amounts of from 150,000 by the Southern Pacific company down to sl. The , projectors of the enterprise had determined to go ahead on a $500,000 basis, but it appears now that their plans will have to be enlarged. Headquarters have been established in this city, organization is being rapidly completed, plans are being perfected and an active campaign fox the fair has begun. Four or five years ago the late Senaator Stanford built for himself and his family an elaborate mausoleum! The site is a beautiful four acre plot just outside of San Francisco.

It is the most elaborate repository for the' dead ever built in this country. The beautiful mausoleum of Jay Gould at Woodlawn, and the magnificent tomb of the Vanderbilts at Huguenots* Stateh Island, arc eclipsed by this work of art.

THE COLUMBIAN FO URTH.

Celebration of Independence Day on the World's Fair Grounds—Historic Flags Displayed Patriotism Expressed in Speeches, Songs and Concerts —Tbe Fireworks. Chicago, July s.—Tbe turnstiles at Jackson park on the Fourth showed that 274,817 persons paid for admission to witness the grandest celebration of Independence day that was ever held. Ihe grand stand and speakers’platform were built just east of the terminal station. On either side sat half the chorus of 2,000 voices. It was almost 11:80 o’clock when Director General Davis rapped long and loud for order. He made no speech, but simply introduced Rev. Dr. Canfield, who made the opening prayer. At its conclusion Vice President Stevenson delivered an address. While he was speaking Silas G. Pratt, the leader of the chorus, was preparing his 2,000 singers for the next thing on the programme. At the signal the band struck up “Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean.” When it came to the chorus the crowd joined in and “Hurrah for the red, white and blue” came with a*wilL Promptly at 12 o’clock Mayor Harrison gave the signal and Mrs. Madge Morris W’agner, of California, a lineal descendant of the man who took the old liberty bell from Philadelphia to Allentown, Pa., in 1777, when the English threatened Philadelphia, and Miss Minnie F. Mickley, of Mickleys,. Pa., touched the key which sent word to Troy that it was noon in Chicago. At the same instant the Paul Jones flag and the flag of universal peace were hoisted. Between them stood Mayor Harrison with Andrew Jackson’s sword in one hand and the. flowers from Jefferson’s tomb in the other. Cannon boomed on the lake and the mocking-bird whistle sounded in unison with the hoarse notes of deeper-toned steam whistles. The little flags flutterel in the crowd, handkerchiefs and hats waved and the roar of thousands of voices swelled the . ovation. When the tumult died away ! Mayor Harrison spoke briefly. Hampton L. Carson, of Philadelphia, followed Mayor Harrison. He delivered the oration of the day, “The Old and the New Liberty Bells.” While he was speaking the following telegram to Maj. W. O. McDowell from the office of tfie Clinton H. Meneely Bell company, Troy, N. Y., was received by the operator on the platform: ‘ The. Columbian liberty bell was sounded the instant you touched the button at noon of this grand Independence day and this ringing was followed by the playing of national and patriotic airs on the grand chime made by us for St Patrick’s cathedral, New York city. Thousands upon thousands of pairiotic citizens have called to see this historic bell, many coming long distances. The glorious day, bright and clear, Seems to have been granted as a special favor to liberty lovers. You can announce to the 260,000 friends who have made such splendid offerings to this bell that their gifts have crystallized into grand form and that the new liberty bell has been set ringing to aid peace and good will throughout the. whole world. “Clinton H. Meneely.” James S. Norton, of Chicago, was the last speaker. The rain was falling briskly, but no one seemed to mind it. After his address Mr. Norton read the declaration of independence. The exercises closed with everybody singing “My Country, ’Tis of Thee” and the “Doxology,” not, however, before Mayor Harrison had called for “Three cheersffor America.” It. was a real old-fashioned never-tet-be-forgot-ten Fourth of July cheer that broke the clouds and brought out the sun for' the first time during the day. When it died down the band struck up the “Suwanee River,” and the crowd joined in. This was followed by other songs of like character, and for an hour the impromptu concert continued.

Fully 150,000 people gathered along the plaza between the Manufactures building and the lake to witness the pyrotechnic display, which began promptly at 9 o’clock. It was a unique spectacle which the Midway Plaisance presented to Fourth of July sightseers—a spectacle which never before was and never again may be seen in this country. The queer people of the Plaisance had their own celebration. The avenue was decorated with a continuous row of steamers, flags and lanterns on each side, and every turret, dome and minaret was gay with little streamers. About noon a long cavalcade of Bedouins, the Wild East show, mounted on camels and spirited horses, gayly caparisoned, moved toward the west end of the plaisance. They were followed shortly by a procession of Turks with the star and crescent intermingled with the stars and stripes. A vigorous pounding of drums announced a delegation of donkey boys, swordsmen, jugglers, wrestlers and dancers, as well as bronzed Soudanese from the Cairo street. Richly robed Chinese followed them and then Dahomeyites with their wild music. - A procession of painted stolid Pottawatomies stalked along in a dignified manner uttering occasional whoops. After the queer people had taken their stations in the open grounds at the west end the Tattersail British artillery came galloping in just on the edge of noon. At 12 o’clock the stars and stripes were unfurled from a lofty pole to the salute of the British artillery. The various nationalities vigorously cheered in a score of tongues, and fifes, drums, tomtoms and gongs saluted the stars and stripes. Then there was silence for a moment and a Mohammedan priest in gorgeous robes made a prayer with sonorous voice to the accompaniment of amens as ferverently uttered as if it were a camp-meeting. Commissioner Burton, the orator of the day, made a short cosmopolitan speech of welcome. _

The largest pie ever made was baked at Denley Dale, England, for the queen’s jubilee. It spoiled, however, so that when it was opened the stench was awful.

The Greatest Medical Disc* very of the Age. KENNEDY’S MEDICAL DISCOVERY. DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROXBURY, MASS., Has discovered in one of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cures every kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple. He has tried it in over eleven hundred cases, and never failed except in two cases (both thunder humor). He has now in his possession over two hundred certificates of its value, all within twenty miles of Boston.
