The record of the re- publican party proves that it has always been in favor of increasing the currency in keeping with the demands of the coun- try, but only on the basis that the pur- chasing and debt-paying power of a dollar, whether of silver or gold, shall at all times be kept equal. The people will be satisfied to leave the solving of the currency qu2s- tion in the hands of the republican party. They know that in the future, as in the Past, the interests of silver in all Its rela- tions to the people can safely be intrusted to the protecting care of tHat party. This entire question as to the future use of sil- ver will probably be settled by the great commercial nations of the world within a year. Germany and France are seeking bimetallism, and England is fast turning in that direction. What the people should do !s to bring pressure to bear upon their Tepresentatives for the appointment of del- egates to an international conference, with power to act and insist upon an agreement and obligation from the nations partici- pating to maintain the ratio as there adopted.” ee the work of the league he sald: “This great gathering of young men froin every state in the Union, many of whom have traveled thousands of miles, with no promise of preferment or reward, bears testimony to the great work this organ- ization has accomplished, and demonstrates its value to the party. “In the eighth year of our organization we find ourselves grown beyond our expec- tations. Our conventions are the opening guns of every campaign. Our deliberations are listened to with the utmost considera- tion, and evince the fact that the future of the league as a power for good in the re- publican party is assured. As this organ- ization is but auxiliary to that convention, it can in no way bind the future action of | the party. We are satisfied that the reg- ular national convention of the party. will have the heart, brain and conscience to take up all national questions and decide them wisely and justly. It is our work to elect, not select, candidates, and promote, rot promulgate, platforms. “The league has no desire to control party machinery, or attempt in any way to interfere with any regular committee in- trusted ith campaign management. It seeks, however, through its clubs, to make more popular to all citizens the opportu- nity to participate in political affairs, and assume the responsibility, the labor and the glory of political service,” Adjourned Until Tomorrow. H. Clay .Evans of Tennessee moved to refer all resolutions to the committee on resolutions without debate. An amendment to refer without reading was defeated, as the silver men protested. Mr, Evans’ motion prevailed. The secretary arnounced that the state delegations should report their members of committees on resolutions, league work, rules and order of business, time and place, and the committees would meet at 4 p.m. A meeting of the presidents of the state leagues was announced for 9 a.m. tomor- row. : At 1 p.m. the convention adjourned until tomorrow, to give the committees time to work. CONVENTION SCENES. How the Names of the Lenders Were Received. Special From a Staff Correspondent. CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 19.—It would be hard to imagine a body of men more representative In appearance than the dele- Bates to the convention of Republican League Clubs that assemled in Music Hall this morning at 10 o'clock. Solid citizens they appear, men of substance and intel- ligence. As a rule they represent urban populations and show the advantages there- of. They are mot the ward heelers and pothouse politicians of the ‘ class who throng an ordinary political convention, but rather the men who direct political movements, the power behind the throne. They are called the “young republicans, but this term {s too broad, for the reason that by far the greater portion are men of maturity and the chaps are decidediy in the canot be said, therefore, with ai blanee of truth that the deliberations this convention are those of over-enthus- jastie young men with small experience in Iron is boiling briskly and league pl .

The New York delegation is very strong and wiil try to elect Senator Dubots of Idaho, who, of course, is looked upon as the free silver leader, stated this morning that every effort will be made by the western men to defeat 3 Alpin. They desire merely to keep the east from gaining absolute control of the ofli- cers of the league, they say, and personal- ities will not enter into the contest at all. The far west will probably combine on a central statesman with liberal idea: The free silver men drew up thei lution this morning. It recites the achieve- ments of the republican party, maintains that the party has always en equal privileges to the debtor and the creditor, and i 's that the party shall restore sil- ver to the position which it enjoyed prior to 1873 by providing for the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1.

M. SENATOR CARTER'S PURPOSE. To Sce That Si r Gets a@ince in the Plattorm. Special From a Staff Correspondent, cr YELAND, Ohio, June 19.—Senator- elect Thomas Carter of Montana, chatr- man of the republican national committee, is here, and is acting in what might be called a double capacity. He 1s playing two parts and they are incongruous. As chairman of the republican national com- mittee he says that his advice to the con- vention is not to do anything to bring dis- cord into the party, but to endeavor to avoid any course of conduct likely to pro- duce friction. “But I am not b national committeeman,” he ima adds, “I am here to sce that silver vided for if this ce make a platform. league in the past made platforms, is no rease one will not do so. “In t I wish It distinctly under- stood that there is to be a free silver plank in that platform, or else there will be a big row. ‘arter was accompanied by Sena- yabois of Idaho, who is a delegate to the convention. “1 here to make a fight for free sil- ver ator Dubois to the writer today. | “Si : the peopl want free to think that this rn) t 16 to 1," now what ey ure after and mean to get it. “If the republican party does not do sometiing for silver it cannot carry the wes! states, all there Is about aswer; the pa 3 frank and stralghtt stand for silver if it wants the é votes of the western states, sent them on the various committees. ‘They are full of fight and anxious for trou- ble. The sound money mer, who are trying to avoid precipitating the silver question upon the convention, are working a little scheme on the silver men, They are beg- ging them not to attempt to force a decla- ration for silver unless the conyention un- dertakes to adopt a platform. If they can succeed in getting promises to this effect it is their plan to abandon the idea of mak- ing a platform, contenting themselves with a general declaration of republican prip- ciples. The weak spot in their scheme is that the silver men are aware of the plan, and will contend that if there is a declara-» Uon of republican principles, however gen- eral in character it might be, it should in- clude a favorable reference to free silver- The silver men claim that it will be almost impossible to present any scheme which will not admit of amendment in behalf of silver. No Republican Bolt. Col. Isaac Trumbo, one of the prominent silver mer of the west, a member of the Utah delegation, says there will be no bolt of republicans in the west, even if silver is turned down by the party. “We will do all we can for the white metal," he said, “but if it is the judgment of the majority of the party ake sore be- tween this and election time that the silver question must be put in abeyance, I believe Western republicans will fal! into line and take the verdict of the majority.” A significant feature in connection with this meeting is the attitude of the southern delegates toward a presidential candidate. Where ar» strong delegations here from Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas and Missis- sipp!. They are talking of nothing but a protective tariff, and, of course, couple Mc- Kinley’s name with it. Even the Missis- sipp! men are rampant on the tariff. “We are for the tariff for an issu said Mr, Lea, who is chairman of the delega- tion. “The democrats, with us, are mostly for free silver, but the republicans of our state are tariff men and sound money men. We came up to see what the people of this part of the country want, and to do what we can against agitating the silver ques- tion at all.” The South Has a Man. After talking this way and urging: the availability of McKinley as a presidential candidate the southerners invariably bring in a reference to H. Clay Evans of Ten- nessee for second place on nal ticket. They claim that it would break the solid south by giving Tennessee to the re- publicans in the presidential election. Efforts are being made to induce McKin- ley’s friends in the north to consider Evans. There is no doubt that a great deal of good work can be done in behalf of pirants for presidential nomination at t! convention. The delegates to this meeting are representative republicans in their dis- tricts, men of superior intelligence and Ukely to be prominent factors in primaries to send delegates to the national conven- tion, and able to exert some influeace in the politics of their respective localities. It is for this reason that they furnish fruit- ful soil for the sowing of political seed. N. O. M. ——.__ THE BATTERY'’S MARCH.

Caulecbration by Patriotic Societies at the Washington Monument. There has been a slow but continuous tendency on the part_of the two Societies of the Sons of the Revolution and the Sons of the American Revolution of the District of Columbia to amalgamate into one great crganization, The present membership of the two socleties is nearly 1,000, and if a tnicn is consummated it Is expected that there will be a material increase in the near future. A joint committee of Sons of the Amer- ican Revolution and Sons of the Revolution has been appointed by thelr respective so- cleties. The mem)ers of this committee on the part of the Sons of the American’ Revo- luticn are W. V. Cox, chairman; John B. Wight 2nd Rarnest Wilkerson, with H. P. R. Holt, F. E. Grice ard W, H. Pearce as alternates; on the part of the Sons of the Revolution, C. F. T. Beale, chairman; Ed- ward D. Appleton and Fred. Huidekooper, with J. H. Yeatman, John B. Larner and Gaillard Hunt, alternates. The duty of this joint committee is to make arrangements for social entertainments and _ patriotic celebrations, and incidentally to promote the*growing desire for union of the two societies in the District of Columbia, which have long been separated by lines more or less artificial. Both societies have the same aims, which are: “To perpetuate the mem- ory and spirit of the men who achieved American independence; to cherish, main- tain and extend -he Institutions of Ameri- can freedom; to foster true patriotism and love of country, and to aid in securing for mankind all the blessings of Hberty." To Celebrate the Fourth. A preliminary meeting was held yester- day at the board of trade rooms, and an organization was effected by electing Earn- est Wilkerson chairman, and John Brewer Wight, secretary, of the joint committee. The Fourth of July being the next his- torical anniversary to be celebrated, it was decided that exercises would be held at he base of the Washington monument at 30 a.m. om that day, as on previous years. Orations will be made by distinguished speakers, the Declaration of Independence will be read, salutes will be fired, pa- triotte songs will be sung, and martial airs will be played by the Marine Band. Sub- committees were appointed to take charge of the exercises incident to the occasion,as follow: Committee on program, _Messrs.

ARMY OF Reunicn of the Society Held at New London, ~ New London, Conn., is adorned with flags and bunting In honor of the Socicty of the Army of the Potomac, which is hold- ing its annual reunion there. For a week decorators have been at work on buildings, public and private, ‘until, no matter where the eye turns today, the American flag and colors are visible. The reunion of the so- ciety took place in the armory at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Tt was voted to meet in Burlington, Vt. Maj. Gen, John A. Gibbon, U. S. A., on the first ballot, was elected president. In the evening literary exercises were held in the third regiment armory. Major Calif, U. S. A, delivered an address of welcome, and Major Gen. Gibbon spoke of blunders in the conduct of the war, referring especial- ly to outside interference with generals in the field. He said: Evils of Divided Responsibility. “If there is one well established prin- ciple in war, it is that an army commander in the field must have unlimited control of military operations. Two commanders in the field are bad enough; two, one in the field, and the other out, are worse. Who would ever think of sending a ve: sea with two captains aboard to abble over the command? «The results of a per- nicious interference from a dist: e do id with the specifle act itself, but unately they are extended to ail the ramifications in a campaign, not only to the particular commander at the time, but to his successors. On this point of divided responsibilit: orator referred to Mr. Lincoin and sald: “What could be clearer than the com- parison he made between a great army with its two wings divided by a river and an ox astride of a fence, unable to hook in front or to kick in the rear? He dis- covered In a few months that this outside interference with commanders in the fleld brought disaster, and he himself discon- tinued it It would have been well if his subordinates in Washington had followed his example. How completely Mr. Lincoin was cured of such interference is shown by a story current at the time that Gen. ‘ant, then commanding all the armies of the United States, was preparing to open the campaign of 18+. “Being in command of the armies of the United States, Gen. Grant, without con- sulting the Secretary of War, ordered cer- tain troops in the city of Washington to join the Army of the Potomac at the front. The Sccretary heard of it, and, sending for the general, said: “IT hear you have ordered such and such troops out of Washington to take the field.’ Grant repliéd that he had. ““But,’ said Mr. Stanton, ‘you cannot do that, general; you will leave Washington unprotected.’ Grant>replied in his quiet wi ‘I have done it, Mr. Secretary.” ‘But,’ exclaimed Mr. Stanton, ‘i protest; I will appeal to the President. “Grant bowed his acquiescence, and to- gether they went over to the White House. Entering the President's room, Mr. Stanton tuyned to Grant and sald: ‘Now, general, state your case.’ “‘T have no case to state,’ Grant stolidly replied. “Stanton at once poured out an indignant protest against Grant’s depleting Wash- ington of troops, and throwing open the capital to the inroads of the enemy. When he paused, Mr. Lincoln, placing his hand on the shoulder of the great War Secre- tary, said: ‘Welly Stanton, Congress has given us a man (glancing at Grant) to take charge of these military matters, and I reckon we had better let him have his own way,’ and that Was all the satisfaction Stanton could get out of him. After that, Grant had ‘his way,’ much to the benefit of the armies in the field.” —.__ Dr. Kershner’s Case.

Doing NOTES FROM THE CAMP Sta Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAMP WASHINGTON} June 19,1895. It was hoped by very many of the officers that instruction would be sufficiently far advanced to permit field maneuvers on a comparatively large scale, but Gen. Ord- way announced this morning that such maneuvers could not profitably be indulged in. The men are doing very well indeed, but they could hardly be -expected to catch up in seven or eight days all that has been lost by the absence of encamp- ments during the past four years. It is practically impossible to do in the drill hall the work which is being done in camp and as only a small percentage of the men who are now under canvas at Fort Wash- ington have ever been in a real camp be- fore they are necessarily ignorant of many essential things with which they today are becoming reasonably intimate. The Details, Guard mounting this morning could hard- ly be termed a satisfactory performance. The new guard were late in arriving on parade, and their shortcomings in other matters were quite evident. So great was the dissatisfaction at headquarters that Capt. Horton was sent down to the first battalion to find out why those things which were wrong were permitted to be. Company A, first battalion, composed the main guard, Lieut. H. J. Keough being de- tailed as officer of the day and Lieut. T. W. Williams as officer of the guard. ‘The various details for today are as fol- low: Medical officer of the day, Surgeon C. A. Weaver, third battalion. First regiment—Officer of the day, Capt. E. C. Edwards, company A, second bat- telion; officer of the guard, Lieut. Harry Dunn, company C, second battalion.

When the brigade returns to the city :t will not proceed immediately from the wharf to the brigade armory. By some of the least busy streets of South Washington the command will march to either 15th or 1ith streets and Pennsylvania avenue, thence down Pennsylvania avenue to 6th street, and thence to New York avenue and the armory. It is expected that the head of the column will reach Pennsylva- nia avenue at just a trifle after 4 o'clock Saturday aftérncon, The Drills. Today the companies will take up the work in which their officers have been in- structed during the past five days—aiming, sighting and position drill. This morning the first and third battalions toiled behind the tripods; this afterncon the second and fourth battalions will proceed to acquire in- formation on the same iines. Business Is being rushed quite rapidly now, because Gen. Ordway has a presentiment that there will be a heavy rainfall in the near future, and he ts desirous of getting as much done as possible before any such interruption makes its appearance. The other battal- fons will have the same drills tomorrow, and then much of the work will be applied to extended order drills, of which the aim- ing, sighting and position drills are the logical precursors, There occurred yesterday what for a time appeared to be the most serious case of sickness that has yet come under the observation of the post surgeons, Private Lucas of company D, fifth battalion, being stricken in his quarters Just after return- ing from drill in the sun. The ambulance quickly brought him to the hospital tents, where his temperature was taken, regis- tering more than 106 degrees. It was thought that he had been overcome by the heat, and much concern was felt as to his condition and his ultimate recovery, but after a few hours’ treatment he was resting easily and this morning has been returned to quarters at his own request, refusing to take advantage of the offer extended him to be allowed to return to his home. Camp Fire. A camp fire. was held by the engineer ccrps last night, around which were gath- ered mcstly the veteran soldiers who are erlisted in the District National Guard. Yieminiscences of war times were indulged in and many highly entertaining stories were told and interesting experiences re- luted. Some of those -who talked were Maj. Gilbert Thompson, the commanding aeneee of the engineers, Private Hill and Sergt. Daly, the latter_a survivor of the band of defenders of Fort Sumter when that post was attacked and. finally com- pelled to surrender. Sergt. Daly’s_enter- taining account of the gallant defense made in those stirring times of our coun- try’s history by the handful of soldiers un- der command of Maj. Anderson was list- ened to with the closest attention and in- terest.

Albert Ordway, commanding the Na- tional Guard of the District, a number of the directors of the board of trade will visit and inspect the camp at Fort Wash- ington tomorr afternoon, some going down on the 2:30 and some on the 4:30 boat. The party will probably return on the 7:30 trip from the camp. Such mem- bers of the board of trade as can avail themselves of this opportunity to see what is being done by the home militia will be welcomed as members of the party. ———— The British and Venezuela. Parliamentary secretary of the foreign of- fice, Sir Edward Grey, replying to Mr. Wm. P. Byrles, in the house of commons Mon- day said that in January last the American ambassador, Mr. Bayard, informed the sec- retary of state for foreign affairs, the Earl of Kimberley, that the United States gov- ernment would gladly lend its offices to bring about a settlement by arbitration of the dispute between Great Britain and Ven- ezuela, respecting the boundary of British Guiana. The position of Great Britain in the matter was explained to Mr. Bayard, who was Informed that the British govern- ment was willing to arbitrate within cer- tain limits, but it could not agree to the more extensive reference upon which Vene- zuela insisted. SUCCEEDS ADMIRAL MEADE Commodore Bunce to Command the North Atlahtio Squadron. Secretary Herbert Makes the Designa- tion—Admizal Ramsay to Remain Here—New Commander's Career. Secretary Herbert today settled the ques- tion as to who skall succeed Admiral Meade in command of the North Atlantic ®r home squadron, by the selection of Com- modore Francis M. Bunce for that detail. The choice rested between that officer and Commodore Thes. O. Selfridge, the senior commodore, who is president of the naval inspection board. The latter Is now beltev- ed to be slated for the command of the Asiatic squadron, to succeed Admiral Car- penter, who retires in January next, and who will be relieved from command in a few months. 1 The selection of Commodore Bunce, who is No. 9 in his grade, is accepted as a clear indication sthat Secretary Herbert desires to retain. Admiral Ramsay, chief of the bureau of navigation, in his present con- fidential position until he retires two years hence. The New Commander. The new commander-in-chief of the home squadron is at present on duty at the Navy Department as president of the naval ex- amining and retiring board. He entered the navy from Connecticut in May, 1852, and reached his present grade of cemmodore this spring. Before coming to Washington he was in command of the raval station at Newport. His total sea service is fifteen years and six months, his shore service covers a period of sixteen years and nine months and he was unem- ployed for ten years and four months. He has not been to sea since December, 1888. He had an interview with Secretary Her- bert this morning and was informed of his selection for the command of the home squadron. Admiral Ramsay to Remain Here. Admiral Ramsay earnestly desired the command, as he wished to make a cruise in his present grade before his retirement two years hence. Secretary Herbert has ruled otherwise, however, and in the or- dinary course of events Admiral Ramsay will serve out his active career in the navy in nis present office as chief of the bureau of navigation. Secretary Herbert has a high regard for Admiral Ramsay and does not wish to lose the benefit of his services in the admin- istration of the affairs of the Navy De- partment. The admiral is perfectly fa- miliar with every branch of the personnel of the navy and is otherwise exceptionally well equipped for his present duties. The Secretary has expressed his desire that he remain where he is, and the ad- miral has yielded accordingly. —_—_—_—_+--2+___ ARRESTED IN NBW YORK. and Partners Are in he Toi Inspectcr Hollinberger received a tele- gram this afternoon from J. C. Robertson of Richmond informing him of the arrest in New York of Eugene Boyens, Miss Ida Lewis and William Lewis, who was known here as the woman's brother or husband. No word has been received from the New York authorities, although Inspector Hol- hnberger thinks that the New York police must have notified the Richmond man who claims to have been swindled to the extent of $2,000. Eugene Boyens & Co. conducted business in the Loan and Trust Company's building and did quite an extensive business in the sale of cigar certificates on a Boston firm, as printed in @he Star several weeks ago, when the young woman wes arrested in New York and released before papers could be sent there for her. At that time there was a Police Court warrant issued in the case and an indict- ment was to have been found, but Mr. Robertson failed to appear before the grand jury at that time. Inspector Hollinberger notified Mr. Rob- ertson this afternoon to come here tonight in order to appear before the grand jury tomorrow. In the meantime, he will send the Police Court warrant to New York, and ask that the prisoners be eld until an indictment can be obtained. ———— > Marriage. Licenses.

REALIZING SALES BRING A REACTION —— Grangers Steady Around First Prices. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, June 19.—Opening prices this morning were steady around closing figures and subsequently became irregu- lar under a restricted volume of business. Trading was confined largely to the room and was dominated by the reactionary sentiment inspired py realizing sales in the specialties, Tennessee Coal and Iron in par- ticular, The price yielded easily during the early trading for a loss of 11-4 per cent, and ee extremely sensitive throughout the y. Missouri Pacific was strong on continued purchases by the brokers identified with the activity earlier in the week, and re- sponded readily to the character of the de- mand. The entire Gould group reflected fractional improvement, but the volume of business was insignificant. The Grangers were steady around first prices, but reflected some hesitancy on the part of traders to continue purchases at the present level, pending further crop in- telligence. The announcement that the control of New England has virtually passed into the hands of the New Haven has caused some apprehensicn on the part of the minority stcckholders, whose position under the transfer of ownership is anything but de- sirable. The accumulation of stock, looking to the control of the New England system, was begun many months ago, and all the stcck nezessary for such purpose was ac- quired around, if not under, 40. At the present level and-in consideratton of the fact that all stock now purchased entitles the holder to participate only in the delib- erations and purposes of the minority, the cieet oe inclined to refrain on — — Ing in the property, preferring to leave the market position of the stock entirely in the certrol of the manipulating interest. Should the minority stockholders suddenly decide to liquidate, which is not impossible, a sharp decline in price would result. Svgar was the\feature of the day, at an advance of 1 3-4 per cent, due to indications of early improvement in the trade. The buying was conducted largely in the in- terest of a prominent operator, whose re- cent efforts in the street have centered in this property. The resumption of activity today is gen- erally regarded as the reopening of a strong campaign in the interest of higher prices. Distillers was marked up on a fair vol- ume of business as the result of a growing belief in the success of the proposed reor- ganization. The strength of the foreign exchange market was commented upon during the day, indicaYons at present favoring large remittances during the next few weeks. The syndicate banks will have to supply the bulk of the drawings during that per- fod in order to prevent an outfiow of gold. The Adams reorganization committee is expected to report on the Northern Pa- cific plan at an early date, but owing to the secrecy employed the nature of the report is unknown. it is considered itkely that a reduction of the present capitalization will be urged, a process of particular benefit to the com- pany’s bondholders. The closing was mark- ed by some irregularity, but prices in the main were steady at fractional gains. —__ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The following are the openiffg, the high- est and the lowest and the closing prices of the New York stock market today, as re- ported by Corson & Macartney, members New York stock exchange.
