Recess Taken by the Virginia Dem- ocratic Convention. CFERRALL HAS PLATFORM COMIIPTEE. Tylez Men Propose to Make a Fight on Silver. ——— GOSSIP OF THE GATHERING. aan Eee. RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 17.—The O'Fer- Tall delegates came into the state demo- cratic convention this morning with an air of supreme confidence. They felt that all was plain sailing and that they had practically nominated their man. They retired last night full of con‘idence, having settled upon O'Ferrall for governor, Maj. R. C. Dent of Wythe for Heutenant gov- ernor and Maj. J. Taylor Scott of Fau- quier, the incumbent, for attorney gener- al. The Tyler men, however, had not sur- rendered. They had never shown as much backbone, and they were determined to go down with their colors. Many of them professed the belief that the Neutenant ‘governor would be nominated in the face of almost certain defeat. The Buford supporters were holding their own, although they had no hope of win- ning, but stood firm and would neither give nor ‘take quarter. Both Buford and Tyler spurned any offers of compromise, and | neithe> would accept any but first place. It | was really amusing this morning to see the independent delegates scramble for the O'Ferrall band wagon. It is sald that the O’Ferrall managers issued over a hu=dred badges this morning to delegates who yes- terday boasted they would go into the con- vention without announcing their pref- erence. When John Goode came into the con- vention he was loudly applauded. The next shout of applause went up when Senator John W. Daniel ascended the platform and took a prominent seat thereon. ‘alled to Orde: Promptly at 12 o'clock J. Taylor Ellison, the acting state chairman, rapped the great convention to order and announced as the temporary chairman B. B. Munford of Richmond. When Mr. Munford arose he was heartily applauded. When the rame of Grover Cleveland was mentioned by Mr. Munford, in the course of his remarks, the great audience gave a hearty ‘cheer.’ Mr. unford briefly referred to the money sit- uation, denouncing the Sherman act, term- igs it a “cowardly makeshift” and express- ihg confidence fn the work of the present session of Congress in giving relief. Mr. Munford then turned his attention to state legisiation, lauding the administration of Governor McKinney. When the speaker C. T. O'Ferral referrel to Maj. Tyler the applause was weak, but when he mentioned the name of O’Ferrall a mighty cheer went ip. The secynd resolution was offered by Capt. Ham Sheppard of Fauquier, an O'Ferrall man. He 1s a candidate for col- lector for the western district and expects to receive his commission Monday. ‘The committees on permanent organiza- tion, resolutions and credentials were then announced. The committee on resoluttons, which is charged with the important duty of formulating the platform, is composed of thirty members, three from each dis- trict. The following are the names: First, Judge G. F. Garnett, John C. Ewell and Dr. John W. Lecator; second, R. C. Marshall, J. E. Booker, R.'E. Boykin; third, C. Mere- dith, A. K. Leake, W. R. Aylett; fourth, W. N. Pukinton, W. T. Aikins, J. M. Page: fifth, E. W. Saunders, A. J. Montague and John Sutherland: sixth, John Goode, H. J. Brown and G. Cassell; seventh, J. B. Moon, M.S. Watson, Julian F. "Wood! efghth, Jobn T. Ryan,’ J. B. T. Thornton, M. B. Harlow; ninth, C. F. Duncan, R. C. Kent, J. B. Richmond; tenth, Gen. T. M. Logan. Robert Catlette, A. C.’Gordon. Two-thirds of this committee, it is cer- tain. are O'Ferrall men and are opposed to a free silver plank in the platform. The drafts of the platform, which were prepared last week and submitted to the | | United States Senators and others in | Washington last Sunday, will be before | this committee. These. as'has already been | stated, In these dispatches, reaffirm the financial and tariff planks in the national | platform. The indications are now that the O'Ter- rall men will succeed in having this plat- form adopted. The Indications are that the whole fight will turn upon the free silver question. The Tyler men are in a hopeless | minority. Their only reliance seems to be |in breaking upon the bimetal followers of | O'Ferrall. There are plenty of these and jit bas elready been developed that this | convention is for free silver. | Immediately efter the announcement of | the committees had been maie, the con- | vention took a recess until 4 o'clock in order that the committees on_ resolutions and credentials might prepare their reports, | Both of them are now in session, and will | — a hours. Some of the most prominent leaders here will be before the platform committee and give its members the benefit of its views as to what the convention should say on the momentous question of finances. The in- dications are that the convention will re- main in session until a very late hour to- night, and that it will hardly dispose of its work until tomorrow, unless the opposition | can stand them off. The nominations for | governor and the other officers will be made this afternoon or tonight. Probable Nominees. ‘Mr. Munsard, the temporary chairman, in calling the convention to order, indicated plainly that the platform was to be devoted | largely to state issues. He apparently pre- pared the convention to expect no fre si}- ver declarations. From the applause which O'Ferrall’s name evoked in the convention, and the most substantial outside indica- tions, the latter's nomination on the iirst ballot is assured. The attorney zeneralship is still the ab- sorbing topic. R. Taylor Scott is leading all of his competitors and {it looks as if he | will get the nomination. There may, now- ever, be combinations made that will de- | teat’ his hopes. R. C. Kent appears to be the only candidate for Heutenant governor who has any decided strength. The whole field seems to turn to him. It may be though, that combinations in the Interest of some one of the candidates on the end of the ticket will possibly make a change in_this program. The plan of the Tyler men is, if possible, to have the platform adopted before nomi- nations are made. This will be done to postpone the fight on the silver qrestion, and if possible to rout O’Ferrall’s followers. This plan is not at all likely to succeed. | The colonel’s organization is almost perfect. | ‘The opposition have few or no trained lead- | ers or politicians, and seem to be utterly at sea now. Another weakness of the opposition is that Buford’s delezates are nearly all op- posed to free silver, and in the fight pre- cipitated on the finances are quite sure to vote with O'Ferrall. a CHOLERA IS CHECKED.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—The same trregu- lar opening that has characterized this week's trading was evident in today’s mar- ket and without particular reason stocks advanced or declined from 1-4 to 3-4 per cent from closing prices. London was fractionally higher, but did little on this side.

THE SENATE, Numerous petitions were presented, some for the unconditional repeal of the Sherman act and some against its repeal without a Provision for the free coinage of silver. One was presented from the board of man- agers of the National Temperance Society against the proposed six moaths’ exten- sion of the whisky tax. A resolution was offered by Mr. Kyle (S. D.) and laid on the table for the present, calling for a report from the Treasury De- partment as to what national banks have diminished and subsequently enlarged thelr clreulation, and what national banks have no outstanding notes in circulation. A resolution was offered by Mr. Gallin- ‘and went over until tomorrow, report as to whether the Sec- retary of the Interior and the commissioner of pensions have conformed to the pro- visions of existing law in suspending and Groping pensioners from the pension roll. e° Montana Senatorial Case. The Montana senatorial case was taken up, and Mr. Pasco (Fla.) addressed the Senate in opposition to the right of Mr. Mantle to a seat under the governor's ap- pointment. Mr. DuBois (idaho) made a short argu- ment on the other side of the quest’ ton, ‘This was followed by a colloquy between Senators Mitchell and Chandler, the former advocating and the latter oppostug the ad- mission of Mantle. A National Bank Amendment. ‘The discussion was interrupted by an amendment offered by Mr. ‘3orman to the national bank circulation bill. Tne amend- ment provides that any national bank de- siring to withdraw any part of its circu- lating notes shall in writing, az least sixty days before the time of the propos2d with- drawal, make application to the «: of currency, and that no such withdrawal shall be made Unless such xppiivation be approv ‘ull or in part by the Secreta ofthe ‘Treasury, but no more than Sh 000,000 of national bank cfrealation shail be withdrawn within any calendar month. After a short argument by Mr. Call against the right of appointment by) the governor, Mr. Hoar, who has charge of the | report, called for a vote w | tion for the admission of Mr. Mantle. Ob- jection was made, however, by Mr. Vance, and finally unanimous consent was given that a vote shall be taken on Monday next at 5 p. m. The Senate then proceeded to ‘The session lasted not more than five minutes. ‘The Mileage Resolution Passed. After the executive session the Senate took up the joint resolution making imme- diately available the appropriation for mile- age for Senators and Representatives. Af- ter a half an hour's discussion Mr. Peffer asked for a roll call on the motion to in- definitely postpone the consideration of the resolution, The motion was defeated by a vote of 40 to 12, and immediately afterward the reso- lution was passed without division. The Senate then adjourned. THE HOUSE. m the resol In his opening prayer this morning the chaplain of the House feelingly alluded to the death of Mr. Chipman of Michigan and invoked the divine protection on the be- reaved family. ‘The silver debate was then resumed. Mr. Daniels (N. ¥.) spoke in favor of the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sher- man act. Terror, he said, had so taken hold of the public mind that disaster wa: bound to follow from the accumulation of silver bullion in the treasury. ‘This fear had been supplemented and voiced by the Presi- dent. Congress should Intervene to give some measure of rellef to the people by changing the financial policy. For the past fourteen years thts accumulation of silver had been going on. Instead of silver going into circulation it had gone into the treas- ury and there it remained a useless article as far as currency was concerned. The people had become confident that the law of 1890, which had succeeded the law of 1878, should be repealed. Mr. Cooper. Mr. Cooper (Fla.) said that ne would vote for the Wilson bill and against each and every one of the propositions presented by | the silver men. He admitted that he did not know of the industries of <his country, but as far as he could get information he was convinced that mills were not closing up for lack of money or for lack of orders. But they were closing because they could not get the cash. He argued that the Sherman law was the cause of the present depression. The want of public confidence had caused the runs upon banks, had caused the failure of sub- stantial banking institutions and had! brought About the present financial strin- gency. He could not resist saying one thins, and that was that when the democratic party had governed the country for four years, at the end of Mr. Cleveland's first verm, it | had turned the country over to the repub- ican party, prosperous and happy. ‘The re- publican party turned it back to the demo- crats in a condition of depression, with the country going over the financial’ precipice into the abyss of disaster. The democratic platform at Chicago had declared for the coinage of gold and silver at an equal in- trinsic value, and the men who stood now for free coinage of silver undertook t uver- ride the democratic platform. And they could not do it (applause). Some gentle- men had said that for three long years he/ had held his conscience in abeyance. He (Mir. Cooper) had never held his con- selence in abeyance; but if he did he want- ed to make that abeyance accrue to the benefit of the people. Within the next few weeks, if the situation were not changed, there” would be lower prices for every pound of cotton in Florida; there would be @ diminution in the great stream of north- erm tourists. He did not mean that thit latter remark should be taken in Its iiteral acceptation, because the people of Mlorida denied the statement that they lived on fish in the summer and on Yankees in winter. (Laughter.) It had been asked whether the United States was to be dic- tated to WW England. If he had come to this House when the country was not in a state of depression he would probably be found voting with the men who would vote contrary to his present views. Kut he now believed that for the United States, of itself, to establish a free silver coinage would be nelther wise nor couraseou! would be foolhardy. Congress was not here to try hazardous experiments. He was ready to support any measure which would bring the money of the people out of its hiding place and would place the currency on a stable basis; but he did not believe that the country ‘could safely provide for the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 20 to 1. Mr. Cooper is a new member, ::1.1 the at- titude taken by him was :omewnat cf a surprise to his friends. He is a young man with a strong voice, a ready flow of ian- guage, a quickness for repartee and » pier sant manner. He bids fair to join the ranks of the rising young :nembers of the House. Mr. Goldzier (1lls.) spoke in favor cf the repeal of the Shermen bill ind raise] his voice in support of the relitor clase— which did not, he said, consist of the tank- ers and brokers of Wall straet, but of a great mass of the people. Judge Chipman’s Death Announced. At the conclusion of Mr. Golizler's re- marks, Mr. Weadock (Mich.) announced the death of his colleague, J. loan Chip man; and the formel resolitions were agreed to; and the Speaker appointed the following committee to take action in the premises: Messrs.

This organization in 18, it was charged, be- came tired of constitutional agitation for the freedom of Ireland and entered into a determined physical force campaign, em- ploying dynamite in efforts to, force Eng- land to grant the Irish demands.

At the same time three other persons, named Whitehead, Wilson and Curtin, were convicted of the same crime and given life sentences. Strenuous efforts were made to secure the release of Dr. Gallagher, petl- tion after petition being prepared and sent to the home office. Repeated failures only spurred friends of the convict to greater eRorts in his behalf, and now, upon the plea of the prisoner's insanity, it appears that he has been given his liberty. The Story Denied. LONDON, Aug. 17.—The statetnent In re- gard to the release of Dr. Gallacher pub- shed today by the newspaper United Irc- land of Dublin, was made the subject of a uestion in the house of commons today. in replying to the questioner, Home Sec- retary Asquith said that there was not a shadow of fact in the report. He added that Dr. Gallagher had not been released and that the government had no intention of releasing him. RACING FOR THE ASTOR CUP. The America’s Cup Defenders Start in A Good Breese. BRENTON’S POINT, R. 1, Aus. There was a good breeze blowing in this morning from seaward and increasing with the incoming tide. Every indication was favorable for a good run by the cup de- fenders for the Astor cup. At 11:38 they were sent away In a smart white cap breeze. The Pilgrim had the weather berth on the start, with Jubilee just to leeward. The Colonia was third yy over a minute, with the Vigilant astern and under the lee of the leaders. The time of the start was as follows: HM Ss. Pilgrim... eee ee Jubilee. eae ats ee Colonia... nM & Vigilant 2000000000) 2th S10 All four were wearing baby jib topsails, club topsails over full lower vails; it was a rare sight to see those boats holding out along the shore with every stitch of cloth drawing rap full. At 11:38 Pilgrim could be seen to yull ahead of the Jubilee, which was a little to leeward as at the start, with the Herre- shoff trailing along behind the Coloni manifestly losing ground. A surprise to the watchers on shore at 11:42 was to see the Jubilee reaching through the lee of the Pilgrim. It was a case of wind jamming and nip and tuck fight. At 11:45 the leaders took in their baby jib topsails, Jubilee’s first and then her rivals. Slowly but surely, Jubilee pulled ahead. At 1148 there was daylight and blue water between the boats. The Colonia was still falling astern and the Vigilant’s posi- tion was not materially altered, The Pil- grim, seeing her chances for holding on after the Jubilee, came out and stood off on the port tack. As she passed out to | windward she went under the stern of the Colonia, which gave the watchers on shore some Idea of how far astern the Herres- hoff boats were. The course which the boats are sailing takes them well out to seaward, about midway between Block Island and Mar- tha’s Vineyard. —_—. ALVAREZ WAS FIRM. He Forced Gen. Trevino to Abando His Movement on Piedras Negra: GALVESTON, Tex., Aug. 17.—A special from Eagle Pass to the News says: Yesterday morning 100 armed men made their appearance above Piedras Negras and 325 men under command of Col. Trevine were seen in the valley below the town. Maj. Alvarez, in command of the federal troops, wired President Diaz that a large body of armed men were about to make an attack upon the town. The president wired to resist the attack. Upon this Alvarez, with about fifty sol- diers and sixty citizens, went to meet Tre- vino, and held a conference with him and showed him his authority from the City of Mexico. Trevino replied that they had come to take charge of the town and put new offi cers in charge; that it was the intention of the peovle to have a fair election and that it was impossible to effect this under the present arrangements. He also de- manded that the political prisoners now being held at Piedras Negras be released without the formality of a trial. Alvarez replied that he would forcibly re- sint the capture of the town. Trevino finally ordered his men to retire to Little river, assuring Maj. Alvarez that he did not desire to come in contact with the federal authorities, and then ordered that the state be placed under martial iaw until after election. But for the firm stand taken by Maj. Alvarez with his handful of troops, Piedras Negras would now be in the hands of the Cardenas faction. The senti- ment of the people seems to be largely in favor of a change in the state government. CAPITOL TOPICS. Senator Peffer’s Financial Bills. Senator Peffer of Kansas yesterday intro- duced (by request), two financial bills. one of which provides for the issue of $60,000,000 of legal tender money on sheets of aiuinin- um or silk-threaded paper, as the people may prefer. The amount is to be covered into the treasury as “surplus money,” and a call for the outstanding interesting-bexr- ing bonds is to be made and they are to redeemed at par and pald for from the wurplus fund.” ‘The second measure ts headed “The new silver bill,” and directs the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase all gold and sfi- ver bullidn and subsidiary coins offered at any price, less the cost of transportation and miniage, without regard to the price in any foreign country. ‘The bullion pur- chased is to be coined into standard coins at ratio of 16 to 1. No reserve is to be held, except a sufficient amount to meet the general indebtedness of the government. For every dollar of gold and silver coined the government is to issue $2 in greenbacks to supply the place of national bank notes. No special amount of bullion is to be pur- chased monthly, but the purchase is to be made so as to keep the mints running at thelr full capacity. In payments all three kinds of currency are to be used, and dis- crimination against any special’ class of it is prohibited. To Vote Next Monday. The Senate reached an agreement this afternoon to take a final vote on the contest- ed election cases at 5 o'clock on next Mon- day. As these cases are of the highest privi- lege, it is probable that the remainder of the week will be devoted to the consideration of this question, and that the national bank bill "will probably go over until after the cases have been disposed of. peasant aaat beret Died From Her Injuries.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—The first of the riots which labor leaders and others have been predicting for some time as a result of the large number of men out of employ- ment occurred this morning. A crowd of more than 6,000 men attacked Walhalla Hall on Orchard street, because admittance was denied them. They smash- ed the plate glass windows into atoms, forced in the door which had been turned against them and forcibly took possession of the place.

THE CENTENNIAL CHORUS. Successful Working of the Various Several of the divisions of the grand cen- tennial chorus held rehearsals last might and there was a gratifying incrzase of membership From a numerical stand- point the Capitol Hill division, under the leadership of Dr. F. J. Woodman, has so far made the greatest success, At its second rehearsal, held last aight, there was an actual attendance of 116 well bal- anced voices. Prof, Clowanl was prestnt auring a portion of the evening and says that Dr. Woodman and his assistants d serve to be congratulated on their excel- lent work. “The voices have been cure- fully picked,” he added, “and are so even in the several parts that this body alone iurnishes an excellent chorus.” The east central division, Prof S. Hi. Jecko, conductor, also held a rehearsal last night in Trinity’ Cnurch, and was visited by Prof. Cloward. Here there was a well- balanced chorus and an increased attend- ance. Perhaps the most gratifying report comes from the Alexandria division, where Mr. D, T. Gambrill has been most energetic. At his second rehearsal he succeed=d in more than doubling the number present at the first meeting, and ais ores pow numbers ninety-seven voices. “This,” says Prot. Cloward, “is most gratifying, ing much as when ‘we first considered the work- ing up of a division at Alexandria we esti- mated for fifty voices.” Mr. W. A. Domer, in charge of the Eck- ington division, held his second rehearsal last evening and had a good attendance. Much enthusiasm was manifested. Mr. Domer is the only conductor who reports greater number of gentlemen than ladies. He hopes that the singers trom Brookland, Metropolis View and University Heights will join his chorus at the next rehearsal. ‘The central division, Mr. Walker McAr- thur conductor, heid its first meeting in the Congregational Church last evening, and the attendance was gratifying. This prom- ises to be one of the most popular as well as one of the largest of the divisions, ‘The second rehearsal of the north cen- tral division will be held at the Mt. Vernon M. E. Church tonight. Mr. G. W. Law- rence has urged all within the limits of his istrict to be present. From the northwestern division, under the control of Mr. D. B. Mcleod, at least 10) voices are expected. Mr. McLeod has called his first rehearsal in the 23d street Episcopal Church tonight. ‘Mir. J. A. Roeder, who has been so suc- cessful in ‘working’ up the chorus at Ana- costia, will go to Hyattsville tonight to meet the singers of that place start them in the way of organization. Prof. Cloward has appointed Mr. F. A. Grant as an assistant conductor. He has not yet been assigned to any particular division, and may be employed to do extra work. Mr. Grant's abilities are well known, and he has manifested the greatest amount of enthusiasm in the work. Dr. Woodman will be absent from the city next week, and Prof. Cloward has called a Joint rehearsal of the Capitol Hill, north- east and Anacostia divisions on next Wednesday night, which he will conduct himself. It is confidently expected that by the end of this week the Chorus will number’ 1,600 voices. >_— MRS. SHAN! Testimony Regarding the Mysterious TRENTON, N. J., Aug. 17.—The taking of testimony in the Shann murder trial was resumed shortly after 9 o'clock this morning. Wm. Whortley, a night watchman in Princeton, testified that he heard a car- Tiage pass down Witherspoon street about 3 o'clock the morning that young Shann’s remains were mutilated. “At abont the same hour he saw three men walking in the direction of the village of “<ingston. They were in the neighborhood of a hun- dred yards of Witherspoon street. The gus and electric lights were out and it was dark. The witness could describe neither the men nor their apparel, excepting that one of them, who was nearest him, wore a derby hat. This man spoke to the witness, calling him by name, but the witness still did not recognize him. The trio were tail ing to each other and smoking. abel Shann was recalled and corrob- orated the evidence of her mother that Dr. Bergen had said after the disembowel- ment that the occurrence was no better than a grave yard robbery, ete. She was further questioned about the part she played in nursing her brother, but nothing new was elicited. — eee No Excise Board Meeting.

Drs. Hough and Pyles at the Emergency Hospital were kept busy today patching up wounds of persons who were unfortunate enough to meet with accidents of various kinds. R. J. McMahon of No. 7M L street northeast had his knee cap dislocated while | working in Mount Pleasant. His knee was dressed and he was sent home. ‘There were two persons injured today by the bursting of beer bottles. One was M. Hayden of 315 14th street, who suffered a broken finger, and the other was James ‘Twomey of 728 10th street, whose right arm was terribly lacerated, requiring the doc- tors to put in several stitches. C. H. Boston, a. driver for the United States Express Company, was transporting silver from the treasury this morning when one of the heavy packages fell and mashed one of his toes. He lives at 61 A street southeast. C. 1. Compton, a colored driver Tiving at 1806 E street, also met with an accident. A box of lead ‘weighing 500 pounds got on his foot and crushed three toes so badly that he will not be able to walk for several days. John Knight, foreman of an Ohio avenue saw mill, had three of his fingers badly cut while working at a machine. ———__ The Game Called “Oona.” From London Queen. Oona is a new game, specially designed for use on small lawns or places where space is too restricted to allow of lawn ten- nis or other pastimes which require a larger | area. It can also be played as an indoor game, the legs of the table being shod with | soft material to prevent injury to any pol- ished surface it may have to stand upon, Any number of players can participate, either forming sides or playing independ- ently. The table is made of polished wood, about two feet six inches in diameter and ordinary lawn tennis balls are used. The following are the principal rules of the game: 1. Choose the order of play. If more than two, fix whether the players are to be pai ners or not, and decide the number of balls {not exceeding six) each is to throw. 2. The first player bowls his ball or balls up the incline at the tower in the center of the table, when it will strike off at a tan- gent, and, if successful, lodge in one of the holes. The act of doing so will release the corresponding flag, which will fly up, the player adding the number it bears to his score. 3. Balls which go off the table or return down the incline are dead. When the player has played all his balls the next in rotation follows in like manner. 5. The game is usually two points, but this can be varied to suit the taste or conven: fence of the players. ——___-+0+____ Mrs. S. F. J. Trabue, wife of S. F. J.

(Continued From First Page.) of the Paris tribunal, is that the Bering sea is open all the year round to all sealing vessels, except those that fly the flag of the United States or of Great Britain, and that the only thing essential to uninter- rupted sealing in those waters at any time is that the vessels engaged in sealing shall be registered by some other country.

The Baltimore Sun says: “The most valuable sealing ground in the world is now in possession of the United States. There was an island in the South- ern Indian ocean, discovered early in this century, which teemed with seals. During the early years after its discovery over one million skins were taken by the British vessels, and as a result there is not a seal to be found in the vicinity. The Crozett Islands, in the same locality, came of discor a - dance of seals, but such was the tnGceery with which they were hunted that in a few years the seal life had been totally exter- minated. ss ‘An island in the Southern Pacific was also exterminated of seals America: and others many years ago, where it is = timated fully three mi skins were asa sealing grou two years was also famous Fite some years ago, and in 0 skins Were taken and ye north.

THE SECRETARY NOT RESPONSIBLE For the Views of His Newspaper 1 Atlanta. ‘The report which came from Atlanta, Ga., early this morning that the Atlanta Journal, formerly owned by the Secretary | of the interior, in 'ts issue last evening ed- itorially advocated ultra-bimetallism, fur- | nished a theme for unusual comment and | speculation in political circles. The dis-| patch stated that the Journal reasoned in| favor of the passage of a bill providing for the free coinage of both gold and sitver, the silver dollar to contain enough bullion to bring it to a parity with the gold dollar. It 4s said that the Journal also the belief that the President and his cabinet favored the plan. Because of the fact that the Journal | has all along done its utmost to promote the unconditional of the purchasing clause of the Sherman bill and the state- ments that have at various times come | from the south that the Secretary of the Interior continued to shape the policy of the paper, this latest alleged news made something of a sensation.
