IN OLD KENTUCKY Shrewd Plans Laid by the Sound Money Democrats. DETERMINED 10 SECURE DELAY No Free Silver Plank ‘to Be Per- mitted in the Platform. A REVIEW OF INTENTIONS Se Special Fron: a Staff Correspondent. LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 29, 1895. The presence of Secretary Carlisle in this city for several days in the early part of the week drew to Louisville a number of the most preminent politicians of the state, including both silver advocates and sound money men. The latter class have been in frequent conference with Mr. Carlisle, and the silver men got together and exchanged ideag and matured plans. Among the lead- ers who were present were ex-Goy. Buck- ner, the sound money candidate for United States Senator to succeed Senator Black- burn, Senator Lindsay, who is a sgund monty man, and Senator Blackburn, who is not; Lieut. Gov. Alford, who is a sound money man, but will stick to Blackburn out of personal friendship, and who wants to be governor; Mr. Proctor Knott, a free silver leader; Representative McCreary, who wants to go to the Senate on the plat- form most likely to get him there, and, last to be mentioned, but first in council, Mr. Henry Waiterson. There were other stars of lesser national magnitude, but of im- portant local standing. at ‘The presence of these war horses of dem- ocratic politics in this city has afforded the newspaper men who are here on special missions exceptional opportunities for feel- ing the political pulse of the state and for obtaining relialfle information, ex parte of course, from each side of the double-head- ed political contest now waging, the strug- gle for office and the attempt to land Ken- tucky into the column of free silver states. For the purposes of continuity this dis- patch will be devoted to an explanation of the plans and purposes of the sound money men, the free silver cause to be set forth in another chapter. Against a Free Silver Plank. It is the one purpose and aim of the sound money men at this time, irrespective of the senatorial contest and their personal ambitions or preferences, to prevent the coming state democratic convention from placing a free silver plank in its platform. In a_ previous dispatch it was explained how Senator Blackburn and the free silver candidates had gone before the people up- on that issue with a declaration of their intention to raise it in the state nominat- ing convention. The anomely of injecting a purely national issue into a convention called for the sole purpose of nominating state officials was represented to them in vain, and equally unconvincing was the argument that by dividing the democracy of the state upon a national issue the re- publicans might carry off all the state of- fices. - It is declared to be the purpese of the sound money men to confine their efforts to preventing the adoption of a free silver plank, and not to attempt to secure a decla- ration for sound money from the conven- tion. The logic of this position is readily apparent, for the condemnation of the attempt of the free silver men to com- mit the democracy to the free coinage of silver would apply equally to a move in the direction of a sound money decla- ration. The argument which is most fre- quently used to the silver men is that national issues are controlled by national conventions, and that a state nominating convention in an off year has no right to commit the democracy upon any natfonal question. After using this argument the sound money men could not expect the convention to come out for their views. Delay Will Be Beneficial. The plan of the sound money element in the convention, therefore, will be to sub- stitute for the free coinage resolutions, which will be offered, a reiteration of the financial declaration of the last democratic rational convention. If this is done it will ieave the silver question open, of course, and under dis- cussion until delegates are chosen for the next national convention. But this is just what the sound money people want. They say that six months’ time, under the cam- paign of education which they wil! pursue, will enable them to not only counteract the silver sentiment throughout the state, but to practically wipe it out. The politicians now in Louisville, pro- fessing adherence to sound money views, with whom the writer has talked, claim that to their knowledze there has been a marked change in the sentiment of the people of Kentucky within the past ten days. This statement is in a measure con- firmed by the tone of the country press and by individual reports from the hench- men of the leaders, stationed at different points. This fact is explained by the statement that up to a very short time ago there had been no actual attempt to meet the free silver question. The free silver boom in Kentucky was a thing of mushroom growth, anyway, springing up under the warm rain of eloquence of Sen- ator Blackburn and his associates. In a few weeks’ time it had assumed its pres- ent proportions. Nothing had been said on the other side and the sound money cause had, in a measure, gone by default for lack of defense. Buckner's Vigorous Position. The first plea in demurrer to the free sil- ver case was put forth by ex-Gov. Buckner, the sound money candidate for Senator. He came out fair and square against free coinage, opposing it in vigorous terms. At the time it was said he had wrecked his chances for the senatorship, but he replied he was more interested in the future of his state as a sound money community than in his possible election as Senator. Gen. Buckner is one of the most interest- ing figures in Kentucky politics. He was one of the few confederate generals who enjoyed the friendship of Grant. He visit- ed Gen. Grant at Mount MacGregor in the latter’s last days, and was a pallbearer at the funeral. With all this he is fairly idcl- ized by the ex-confederate veterans, and the Union element honors him also. He is a Kentuckian of the old regime, stately, courteous and punctilious to a degree. When he left the gubernatorial chair he retired to his home in a remote section of the state, and has lived a quiet and unos- tentatious life. He is honored by all par- ties, and if he does not get the senatorship, it is said, it will be because he is not enough of a politician to match the vete- rans who will be in the race. Gen. Buck- ner has made a host of friends by his fearless advocacy of sound money at a time when he seemed hopelessly in the minority, for the average Kentuckian ad- mires a man who is politically courageous, as well as personally brave. Gen. Buckner’s announcement aroused in- terest in the sound money question, for he put forth arguments to sustain his position, and for the first time the general public was apprised of the fact that there was N icotine Neutralize CHEW AND SMOKE NATL POUCH TOBACCO.

The Western Hot Wave Rolling Slow- ly Eastward. Forecast till 8 p.m. Thursday: For the District of Columbia, Delaware and Mary- land, fair; decidedly warmer; southerly winds. For Virginia and North Carolina, fair; warmer; variable winds, becoming south- easterly. The warm wave Is moving slowly east- ward over the central valleys. During Tuesday the temperature rose above ‘) de- grees from Oklahoma to the extreme upper Mississippi valley, and the maximum tem- perature at Omaha, Neb., Concordia and Dodge City, Kan., was 98 degrees. At Green Bay and Milwaukee, Wis., Omaha, Neb., Sioux City, Iowa, Wichita and Con- cordia, Kan., and Oklahcma the tempera- ture was 1 to 5 degrees higher than pre- viously recorded for the latter part of May. Closely following this warm wave the tem- perature has fallen nearly to the freezing point in the extreme northwest, and snow is falling this morning in Wyoming. The warm wave will overspread the middle At- lantic and New England states during the next thirty-six hours. In this section the weather will continue fair, with higher temperature, during Thursdey. The maximum heat of the warm wave will probably be reached Thursday afternoon, and cooler weather and rain may be expected Friday. Condition of the Water.

Sena- tor Lindsay followed in advice of the same character, and then came Secretary Car- lisle with his speeches, while all over the state the sound money press took up the cry. The assertion is made that the mass of the people of the state are unacquainted with the merits of the question merely from the fact of not having studied it. The mat- ter had not been brought to their attention as a political issue until Senator Blackburn sprung it, and then many of them took his word for it that free coinage was a good thing. The claim is made that when the other side of the question is presented the majority of the people will go for sound money. This claim is based upon the fact that Kentucky is naturally a conservative state. ‘The people are prosperous, energetic and of marked business rectitude. All of the tra- ditions of the people, it is claimed, are in the direction of good money and sound methods. There is no doubt that the sound money people, from Secretary Carlisle down, are confident that from the conditions existing in the state Kentucky will send a sound money delegation to the national conven- tion, and they are exceedingly hopeful that the adoption of a free silver platform at the state conventien in June can be pre- vented. N. O. M. PETITION TO BALFOUR. Anked Not to Put Bimetallism in His Platform, The Pall Mall Gazette of London says that, as an indication of the impending dis- solution of parliament, certain influential unionists are circulating a memorial to the Right Hon. A. J. Balfour, who Is slated for the premiership, urging him not to include in the party platform any pronouncement in favor of bimetallism. It is added that the memorial says that under no circum- stances will they, the unionists, support in parliament any proposal to alter the cur- rency standard on a bimetallic basis. ——- EXPRESSIONS OF SYMPATHY. Action of the Diplomatic Corps—Many Mesanges of Condolence. The meeting of the diplomatic corps at the British embassy last night was very fully attended, all of the foreign embassies and legations being represented. Sir Julian Pauncefote, dean of the corps, acted as chairman, and in explaining’ the purposes of the meeting expressed deep regret at the loss of Mr. Gresham, with whom all of those present were on terms of close per- sonal and official intimacy. As each of the ambassadors and ministers had received ftom Acting Secretary Uhl an official noti- fication of the death of the Secretary, it was determined that each should send a reply expressive of his government’s sym- pathy. In addition to this, Sir Julian was authorized to address a letter of condo- lence to the family of the deceased. ‘The individual letters from the diplomats will be sent to the State Department as soon as they have communicated with their gov- ernments. 'The British foreign office cabled to Sir Julian Pauncefote last night, and the message was communicated to the State Department. It directs the ambassador to express to the President and to the govern- ment of the United States the very deep regret with which her majesty’s govern- ment has heard of the death of Mr. Gres- ham. ; Many Messages of Condolence. Messages of condolence have been re- ceived from friends and admirers of the deceased statesman in all parts of the world. Among them were the following: ©x-President Harrison at New York: “I beg to tender to you and your children my sincere sympathy in your great sorrow.” Mrs. Julia D. Grant: “Would that I could offer you consolation in this hour. I can only say that my heart is full of sym- pathy.” Vice President Stevenson: “I beg to as- sure you of the heartfelt sympathy of Mrs. Stevenson and myself in your great sor- row.” Mr. and Mrs. Bissell: “Let us assure you, dear friend, of our profound sympathy with you in the loss of your noble husband. He had much to give his country, and he gave it all.” Others who sent telegrams of sympathy were Don M. Dickinson, O. T. Morton, ex- Senator Edmunds, Jno. W. Palmer, Gov. Matthews, Senator Voorhees, Senators W. E. Chandler, O. H. Platt, W. P, Fishback of Indianapolis, Ind., John E. Russell of Massachusetts, ex-Secretary_of War Rob- ert T. Lincoln and wife, Franklin Mac- Veagh and wife, George M. Pullman, Gen. Nelson A. Miles, Gov. Matthews of Indiana, Caminetti of California, Wayne MacVeagh, ex-Speaker Crisp, Senator Hale and Min- ister Strobel, at Santiago, Chile. The following members of the Tilinois senate joined in a message of sympathy: J, B. Hill, J. R. Campbell, Ralph L. Mc- Kinley, Charles N. Barnes, G. W. Paisley, G. M. Nilhaus, A. L. Brandt, H. W. Wall, Joseph P. Mahoney, Wm. J. O'Brien, Thomas E. Ford, A. W. Wells, M. Solomon, Harry Highce,’ H. CG. Bartling, A. A: Leeper, J. B. Craig. » ‘The ‘Illinois commander of the Loyal Legion,- Joseph B. Leake, in sending a message of condolence, requested to be in- formed at what place the funeral would take place. Secretary Smith’s Tribute. Secretary Hoke-Smith says of Secretary Gresham: “I never met Secretary Gresham until he became Secretary of State, but it was then only a short time before I honored and loved him. He was unconscious of moral or physical fear, and yet he was gentle and attractive 4s a woman. “His heart was full of patriotism, and his leaning was always toward the inter- ests of the masses of the people. “He was devoted to the cause of the of labor which he bestowed upon the De- partment of State cannot be overestimated. Se gg all day and often far into the night. i THE PRECEDENTS. What Hax Been Done When Cabinet Ministers Have Died. In the case of ex-Secretary Windom, who died January 2), 1891, President Harrison issued an executive order, directing “that all the departments of the executive branch of the government and the officers subor- dinate thereto shall manifest due respect to the memory of this eminent citizen in a manner consonant with the dignity of the otfice which he has honored by his devo- tion to public duty.” The President fur- ther directed “that the Treasury Depart- ment, in all its branches in this capital, be draped in mourning for the period of thirty days; that on the day of the funeral the several executive departments shall be closed, and that on all public buildings through the United States the national flag shall be displayed at half-mast.” in prior cases of the death of Attorney General Legare, who was Secretary of State and Interior, in June, 1843, and in the case of the death of Secretary of State Upshur end Secretary of the Navy.Gilmer, in February, 1844, the President directed that appropriate military honors be paid throughout the army. Half-hour guns were fired at every military post the day following the receipt of the order from sunrise to sunset. The national flag was displayed at half-staff during the same period, and all officers of the army were directed to wear for three months the cus- tomary badge of mourning. In the case of Secretary Blaine, who died January 27, 1593, after leaving the post at the “head of the State Department, President Harrison issued a proclamation, directing that “as a suitable expression of the national appreciation of his great pub- lic services, and of the general sorrow caused by his death,” that “on the day of his funeral all the departments of the ex- ecutive branch of the government at Washington be closed, and that on all pub- lic buildings throughout the United States the national flag be displayed at half-staff, and that for a period of thirty days the Senet of State be draped in mourn- ing.” ——_——_*--e~-___.

LIST OF THE PASSENGERS eee ee SAN FRANCISCO, May 29.—The steam- ship Colima, with 182 persons aboard, in- cluding passengers and crew, foundered off the coast of Mexico Monday. Fourteen passengers and five members of the crew reached Manzanita, Mexico, yesterday and gave the first information of the vessel's fate. Whether the remainder of the pass- engers and crew escaped in small boats or went down with the ship is not known. Definite, but meager, information of the disaster was received at 12 o'clock last night by R. H. Schwerin, general manager and vice president of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, to which corporation the ship belonged. A telegram informed Mr. Schwerin that a boat containing fourteen passengers and five members of the crew of the steamer reached Manzanita yesterday and gave the startling information that the Colima “had foundered the day before not far from the port. The names of the passengers and seamen in the small boat were not given in the dispatch. Neither was there any in- formation about the remainder of the pass- engers and crew. The Colima sailed from San Franc‘sco on the 18th instant for Panama and way ports. She carried 112 passengers, 40 in the cahin and 36 whites and 46 Chinese in the steerage. The officers and crew num- bered 70, making in all 182 people on board the steamer. Alexander Center, gereral agent of the company, says he is confident that other boats will come in, but if there was any loss of life, it will be impossible to give a full list of the dead, as on her way down the vessel doubtless’ picked up other pass- engers in addition to what she took from this city.

The first information of the loss of the steamer reached this city in a dispatch received by H. E. Alfred Railton, a book- keeper in the office of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. The dispatch con- tained the following brief statement: “Saved; wire father. (Signed) “RICHARDSON. Richardson was the storekeeper on the Colima, and was one of the few men at this time known to have escaped from the sinking vessel alive. He is a close friend of Bookkeeper Railton, and sent the dis- patch to Railton, as he knew better than any one else inthis city how to com- municate the tidings to his father. When Railton received the dispatch he went to the merchants’ exchange to cor- roborate the news of the vessel's loss, but failed to obtain any information there. The merchants’ exchange had received no advices from Manzanilla, and the inform: tion contained in the dispatch received by the Pacific Mail bookkeeper was regarded as a most startling piece of information. A few moments later a telegram was re- celved from the company’s agent at Man- zanilla to the effect that the ship had gone down and that fourteen passengers and five of the crew had reached shore in a smail boat. Just how many of the passengers were aboard the vessels when the accident oc- curred which sent her to the bottom cannot be ascertained at present. The vessel stops at Mazatlan and San Blas before reaching Manzanilla, and passengers were landed and taken on at both places. The corrected passenger list can be made out only after the names of the passengers who went ashore or boarded the vessel at these two points are received by tele- graph. - Various Speculations, The Colima was due at Manzanilla on Sunday, the 26th instant. The dispatches show that the vessel foundered Monday, the 27th, off Manzanilla, which would in- dicate that some accident to-the machinery occurred which retarded the progress of the vessel and prevented her from reach- ing the port of Manzanilla before she foun- dered. The officers of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company do not believe the vessel struck a bidden ledge. They are more inclined to think that the cause o: the disaster was an accident to the machinery. They are sure that the officers and crew did their duty when the trying moment came and believe that the loss of life will prove to be much less than is at present feared. The vessel, had life boats, which hung from davits ready to be launched at a mo- ment’s notice, and it is thought that all of these could have been launched, no matter how’ rapidly the vessel sank. The telegram received by Mrs. Schwerin only accounts for one boat, and the fact that more had not arrived at Manzanilla at the time the dispatch was sent is the only indication that the loss of life may have been very great. The Colima was a single-screw propeller with an iron hull. She was built in 1873, at Chester, Pa., by John Roach & Sons. Her tonnage was 2,909 gro#s and 2,144 net, her horsepower 1,100 and her speed eleven knots. This was her one hundred and twenty-ninth voyage to Panama. She car- ried about 2,000 tons of cargo and was val- ued at $103,000. > Gov. Lippit Inaugurated. The general assembly of Rhode Island “met yesterday. S. W.
