Aldredge Discusses the Coinage of Silver. SINGLE STANDARD MEN TTS FRIENDS Cause of the General Decline of Interest. ENCOURAGING PROSPECTS ATLANTA, Gt., October 16—The second day's session of the American Bankers’ As- soclation was called to order this morning by President Odell and the convention pro- ceeded to business after prayer by the Rev. J. W. Heidt. Chairman E. W. Pullen read an extensive repprt from the executive council in refer- ence to a number of proposed changes in the werding of the constitution. The ques- tion of anrual dues was referred back to the council to be reported on tomorrow, znd the minor amendments suggested were adopted. ““The proposition that this government should coin silver for the world in unlimited amount at double its market value is so re- Pugnant to the common sense of mankind,” said Mr. George N. Aldredge to the conven- tion, “that it oughj to be unnecessary to aiscuss it; and it would be, but for the fact that a portion of our people have been mis- led by appeals to their prejudice and by the specious reasoning of sophists.”” He pointed out that the leading nations of the earth, after testing silver for hundreds of years, voluntarily adopted the single gold standard, and that no nation today has the silver standard from choice. The gold stand- ard advocates believe in gold as a standard with, the largest possible safe use of silver among the people. “The 16 to 1 dreamers believe in the so called double standard, and we are driven by this law to the use of silver alone. All gold standard countries use large amounts of silver and no silver standard country uses any guld whatever. As the practical question is the use of the metals it follows that we are the bimetallists and the 16 to 1 people are the monometallists. Hence, the battle that is to be fought to a finish next year is whether we will remain under a gold standard, witi actual bimetailism in use among the people, gold and silver circulating freely without discrimination against either, or shall we have a so called double standard at the mints and nowhere else, with silver monometallism in actual use? - “The battle is between substance and shadow, between those who want bimetal- lism in fact and those who want tt in name only. We are the friends of silver money, who would bring to its aid the power of the government to keep It good, und they are its enemies, who, by unlimited coinage, would take from it the guaranty of parity by the government and thereby degrade it to its market value. Our government has been and is now coining silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. It is enabled to do this becayse under the law it can restrict the ainount coined, and being vested with this control it undertakes to make every dollar good money. The moment the govern- ment leses control of the coinage confi- dence in its ability to protect the money issued is gone and a silver dollar then rests on its merits, and is worth 50 cents.” In refutation of the contention that gold has appreciated and depreciated prices he pointed out that no two articles have de- clined at the same time or in the same de- gree, nor has any article mentioned re- mained uniformly depressed, and there- fore but one controlling cause can be as- signed for these results. Continuing, he said: “Interest has de- clined since 1872 in my part of the country from 3 per cent per month to 6 and 8 per cent pet annum. There is no denying the fact that the gold bugs did that. The south and west have saved more on the decline cn interest than they have lost on the de- cline of wheat and cotton. Interest is al- Ways low under an honest standard, among an honest people, where money is plentiful. It is lower in London than any other spot on the globe, because her standard is stable and her commercial integrity has been the care of her statesmen and her people for ages past.” Mr. Aldredge charged that it is repudia- tion of debt and not coinage tpat the 16 to 1 man is after, and he said in conclusion: “Allow me, in conclusion, to say that our country is in no danger of repudiation. This 16 to 1 coinage clamor fs but one of the manifestations of hard times, brought on by the late panic. On low lands in the night time. a deadly mlasma accumulates, but when the bright sun climbs ever the hill tops and shoots his purifying rays into the bottom the jniasma is dispelled. The atmosphere is sweetened and made whole- some, and men go forth to their daily avo- cations with assurance of health. In spite of all the isms that have affilcted us, in spite of demagogism on the stump and in legislative halls, this country is rapidly ad- vancing. Our. factories are taxed to their utmost with orders, and wages of their employes have been everywhere voluntarily raised. Prices that have been depressed by the panic are’ improving. Sinister discon- tent, witn all her imps, {s fleeing before the benign presence of prosperity, and in after years the heresies of today will only be re- membered as a troubled dream. ‘The Amer- ican people are honest and patriotic. Upon this rock we build our faith, and all the ages and agencies of truth are ours for the superstructure.” Y ACCEPTS THE REFORM SCHEME. Turkey Yields to the Demand of the Powers. CONSTANTINOPLE, October 16.—Said Pasha has accepted the scheme for reform in Armenia drawn ‘up by Great Britain, France and Russia, and It now awaits the signature of the sultan. The scheme is al- most identical with the proposals of last May, which, in substance, were that the governors and vice governors of Van, Er- zeroum, Sivas, Bitlis, Khartut and Trebi- zend be Christian or Mussulman, according to the inclination of the population; but either the governor or the vice governor is to be a Christian, and the appointments are to be confirmed by the powers. Local and state officials are to collect the taxes and enough money is to be retained before it is forwarded to Constantinople to pay the ex- penses cf local administration. Complete changes will be made in the judicial sys- tem, torture will be abolished, the prisoners will be under surveillance, the police will be composed of Christians and Turks equally and the laws against compulsory conversion to Islamism will be strictly en- forced. The ambassadors of the powers expect that the whole question will be finally set- tled during the course of the week by the promulgation of an imperial decree. Con- trary to general expectation, the high com- missioner who will be charged with the execution of this scheme will be a Chris- tian. This was the hardest pill for the porte to swallow, and for a long time it threatened to bring about the most serious complications. ‘A Russian warship has arrived here. The situation at Ismid is critical, The Chris- tians are apprehensive of a Turkish out- break. ——— WAS PRINTED PRIVATELY. ‘fhe Sackville Pamphlet Was Not In- tended for the Public. LONDON, October 16.—Lord Sackville, formerly Sir Lionel Sackyille-West, British minister at Washington, writes to the Times this morning in reference to the pamphict entitled “My Mission to the United States, 188!-'S9,” the substance of which was cabled to the New York World and given to the Associated Press. Lord Sackville expiains that the pamphlet was printed privately for friends, and was never intended to be published, and he cannot understand how It became public. 2 ag The Spread of the Bloomer. SAN FRANCISCO, October 16.—This city hag had bloomer balls, bloomer marriages and now a bloomer restaurant has been opened in the very business center of the city. The restaurant has been a success from the start. Four shapely girls, attired in neat-fitting bloomers, attend to the wants of the customers, and have proved such an attraction that more girls will have to be employed to take care of the increasing trade.

Clothing and Equipage Furnished and Construction and Repairs at Posts—National Cemeteries. The annual report of Gen. Batchelder, quartermaster general, showing the opera- tiens of the quartermaster’s department of the army for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1895, has just been made to the Secre- tary of War. The report shows that there was a tota) disbursement of $1,960,104 dur- ing the year, leaving a balance of $1,023,- 095.33. The issues to the militia of the sev- eral states and territories amounted to $185,235. During the year the army has been liber- ally and promptly supplied with all neces- sery articles of clothing and equipage. Transportation for 434,500 persons, 4,357 animals and 92,087 tons of material was furnished during the year by the quarter- taster’s department; and for the move- ments of troops in changing station there was expended the sum of $174,923, exclusive of deductions on account of land grant and bond-aided railroad. Cost of Horses. The contract system for the supply of horses continues to give general satisfac- tion and the standard has been greatly im- proved since the system was adopted. The average cost of cavalry horses for the fiscal year was $05.44, and for artillery horses $148.04. The cavalry mount of to- day, Gen. Batchelder says, excels that cf ary previous time, and all information shows it to be superior to that in foreign armies. The cessation of Indian wars and hostil- ities on the Rio Grande rendering it un- necessary to further maintain post trans- portation on a field campaign basis, orders were issued in Octobes last fixing a new allowance of draft and pack animals for the several military departments and di- recting the sale of all surplus animals. The reduction in the number of animals, wagons, harness, tcamsters, hostlers, &c. & thus effected, together with the forage and bedding heretefore required for the animals will effect considerable saving to the appropriation. The average cost of team horses during the year was $167.83, and of niules $114.64. During the year there were sold, died, &., 1,422 cavalry and artil- lery horses, 84 team horses and 1,088 mules, leaving on hand at the close of the year 6,189 cavalry and artillery horses, 247 team horses and 3,040 mules. Construction and Repair. ‘The sum of $650,000 was expended in the construction and repair of officers’ quar- ters, barracks, storehouses, stables, etc. There was also expended during the year the sum of $44,919 for the construction and repair of hospitals at military posts, which includes the new hospitals in course of erection at Fort Barrancas, Florida, and Fort McHenry, Maryland. A new hospital is in course of construction at Fort Meade, South Dakota. By act of Congress, approved August 18, 1804, the sum of $200,000 was appro- priated “for the construction of buildings at and the enlargement of such military posts as in the judgment of the Secretary of War may be necessary,” which, with the balance of $110,068.11 ‘remaining on hand from prior appropriations, together with other available amounts, made an ag- gregate of $326,530.86 for this purpose, which was apportioned partly as follows: For Crook, Neb., $70,058.75; Presidio of San Francisco, Cal., $31,341.27; Fort Myer, Va., $45,600; new post near Little Rock., Ark., $116,600.0$; Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, $14,620; Plattsburgh Barracks, New York, $21,383.80; Fort Bliss, Tex. (reconstruction), $9,600; Fort Sheridan, Ill, $11,759.27. The buildings are either in course of erection or under contract. Under authority of act of Congress the lands afd buildings known as Mount Ver- non barracks were relinquished to the state of Alabama, and all right, title and in- terest of the United States in the property known as Newport barracks, Kentucky, was transferred to the city of Newport. Reservations to the number of fifteen were transferred to the Department of the In- terfor as no longer needed for military pur- poses. National Cemeteries. During the year 7,340 white marble head- stones were provided to mark the grave- stones of soldiers, sailors and marines buried in national, post, city and village cemeteries, and the sum of $19,454.88 was expended in necessary repairs to roadways to national cemeteries. The appropria- tions made by Congress for the establish- ment, maintenance and improvement of national cemeteries, including pay of super- intendents, headstones, monuments, pur- chase of sites and construction and repair of roadways from their inception to June 30, 1895, have amounted in the aggregate to $3,105,636.47. —_—— 2+ ____<_ Struck by a Train, Howard Longus, a colored boy twelve years old, was struck by a train on the Baltimore and Potomac raflroad near Land- over about 7:30 o'clock this morning and severely Injured about the body.

Today of the Conven- tion Take a Practical; Denomina- tional Tara. ——s The second day’s session of the spiritual- ists’ ccnvention was begun at 9 o'clock this morning with music and prayer. The un- finished business coming over from yester- day, regarding the arrests of mediums in Philadelphia, was, considered, but definite action was postponed temporarily. The report of the committee cn the president's report was then taken up,'and the recom- mendations of the president which received the indorsement of the ccmmittee were con- sidered. Considerable discussion was caused by a Proposition to limit the Urdination of spirit- ualist’ ministers, the gencral sentiment seeming to point to limitation within bounds of this privilege. Half-Rate -Fares. A recommendation urging action to com- pel railroad companies to grant clergy- men's half rates to spiritualist ministers provoked a long talk. Mrs. Cora Richmond suggested that the matter should be dealt with delicately, as the railroads are be- ginning to appreciate the “commercial valub of our patro. e.”" She thought it would be better to let the pressure of pub- lic opinion sway the rallroads rather than attempt to coerce them by litigation. Many delegates told of their experiences with the railroads in applying for reduced rates, and it was shown that some were enabled to get them and others were not. The matter was finally referred to the incoming board of trustees for settlement. It was agreed to set aside a day to be known as “National Association day” at the camp meetings. The proposition to es- tablish a defense fund for the protection of mediums against persecution was adopted. The incoming board of trustees was di- rected also to consider the question of pro- moting lyceum work, after a number of stirring speeches were made in behalf of extending lyceum instruction. It was the unenimous opinion of the speakers that Sunday schools should be provided for the children, so that they may be defended from the doctrines of orthodox teachers, and be inculcated with the prin- ciples of spiritualism. In the course of the discussion it was suggested that tracts and illustrated literature for the instruction of ckildren should be published. It was ex- plained that the Veteran Spiritualist Union is doing considerabie good by circulating spiritualist tracts among adults. School to Teach Spiritualism. The proposition to raise a fund for estab- lishing a national school to teach spiritual- ism was discussed and adopted. A vote of thanks was extended to those who have made gifts to the national organization. The stggestion that spiritualists enter pol- {tics to the extent of supporting candidates ‘0 indorse favorable laws was agreed to by the delegates. Several minor proposi- tions looking to raising funds were adopted. A warm discussion was provoked by the recommendation to continue the per capita tax of 25 cents for the support of the na- tional association. The sentiment of the convention seemed to be divided as to con- tinuing it. It was decided to submit the question for settlement at a subsequent meeting. ,The afternoon session, commencing at 2 o'clock, was devoted to hearing the report of the auditing committee and the commit- tee on resolutions. there will be 20-minufe a M.

HE USED A KNIFE Desperate Fight Today in a Hotel Office. THEATRICAL MEN IN TROUBLE Quick Punishment Meted Out to . the Offenders. ANOTHER WARRANT This morning about 8 o'clock there was a lively fight in Cobb's Hotel, corner of 10th and E streets, which seriously interfered with the appetites of those who-were at breakfast at the time. For several min- utes there was a rough-and-tumble fight, and it was only after one of the partici- pants had been cut and nearly killed that a colored man separated the fighters and the police made two arrests. John N. Painter, who is property man of the show at Ker- nan’s this week, was the victim, while his assailants were John and Thomas Thorn- ton, brothers of the proprietor of the show. The Thorntons were very much under the influence of liquor and were almost unabie to tell the cause of the trouble. When it was reported that a man had been seriously assaulted the first precinct patrol wagon made a quick run to the hotel to get the man in time to save his life, but Dr. Baldus, proprietor of the drug store across the strect, had succeeded, after considerable trouble, in stopping the flow of blood. Badly Hurt. A small penknife was the instrument used, and the wound made extended from the rear of and below the left ear to a point on the man's face near his nose. The wound was a deep one, and had narrowly escaped making a wound which would have cause death in a few minutes. The Thorntons were arrested by Police- men Sprinkleeand Carlsson and locked up. Later in the morning they were taken be- fore Judge Miller and arraigned on a charge of simple assault, to which they plead not guilty. Tom, Thornton was decidedly under the influence of liquor, and was inclined to be quarrelsome. He gave the bailif warning not to put his hands on him, but the bailiff treated the intoxicated man the same as he treats other prisoners. Painter, who was not under the influence of liquor, was called as the prosecuting witness. He had not lad time to remove his blood-stained garments, and his ap- pearance indicated the kind of an encounter in which he had figured. Painter’s Story. He told the judge that he knew the de- ferdants. through their sister-in-law, the wife of the proprietor of the show. This merning,he said, he went down stairs for an’ early breakfast, and when he had seated himself in the dining room Tom Thornton called him over to where he was sitting and asked him about some members of the theatrical company. “I returned to-my table,” he sald, “and Tom called me again.” Witness did not hear him, as he was talking to another friend, and presently Tom came over, tapped him on the shoul- der. and asked, “Why don’t you answer me?" “I didn’t hear you,” was what witness told him. Witness said that there were ladies in the dining room, and he did not care to talk to the intoxicated man, so he left the dining rcom, and walked out to the office. Tom Thornton followed him and seemed offended because he would not converse with him in the dining room. John Thorn- ton, whom the witness called “Jack,” was soon upon the scene, and Tom told him that witness would not talk to him. Witness explained that he did not want to talk to him in the dining room, where- upon Ton: took off his coat and said, “Well, I'm going to give trouble.” Painter said he told him he did not want any trouble. “Jack said that he would see that I had fair play,” said Painter, “and I told him I did not want any kind of play, as I wanted to Keep »ut of trouble.” The Fight. Witness then described the fight. Tom started the combat by pushing him, and then blows passed. As the brothers came to him he knocked them down, and then when a colored man grabbed him (witness) Jack cut him. “How lorg have you known these men?” Judge Miller asked. “About two months,” was the response. “I knew them through their brother's wife.” Other Testimony. Thomas Gray, the hotel clerk, was next put on the stand, and he told the court that he saw the men when the fight started, but did not witness the cutting. Several other witnessés were called, but none of them had seen the cutting done. Policeman Sprinkle produced the. knife. He found it in Tom’s pocket, and was told that he (Tom) had pursued @ colored man with it earlier in the morning. The defendant who is known as “Jack” was not much under the influence of liquor. In answer to the inquiries of the court, he sald he was a resident of New York, and is a bartender. He lives at No. 203 East 3ist street, and said he had never been arrested before. He denied that he had done the cutting, as claimed. Poor Effort. Then the intoxicated defendant, Thomas Thornton, was called to the stand, and he mude a poor effort to convince the court that he did not cut his brother's property man. He said that Painter had told his sister-in-law something, “and,” he said, “my sister-in-law does not think the world of me anyhow.” “Did you cut Painter?” Judge Miller ask- ed him. “No, indeed,” he replied. He said he was in his brother’s employ as advance agent. “Your testimony does not help the court out much,” said the judge. “TRen,” added the drunken man, “I'll swear the God's truth, I cut him, and (turning to Painter) you're a liar.” “Keep quiet,” said the judge, “and be careful. You are not in a New York bar room now.”" The Sentence. Dr. Baldus was sent for, and he said that the wound was doing very well, and he thought the injured man was in no danger. Judge Miller questioned the witnesses again, but none of them were able to throw any light on the case. Speaking to Tom Thornton the judge told him that he might have been charged with murder, had the weapon gone a little deep- er. He was told that this elty is not a good place for the exhibition of such conduct, and the juige told him he was not going to let him off on the payment of the fine. A sentence of six months was imposed, and Jack was fined $25 or sixty days. Another Warrant. Mrs. Elizabeth Thornton, the sister-in- law mentiored in the testimony, appeurea in the court later in the day and swore out a warrant charging John, or “Jack,” Thorn- ton with having made threats of personai violence toward her. It appears that Mrs. Thornton handles most of the czsh of the show, and this is why there is an ill-fecling existing. Her husband did not want her to swear out the warrant, and it is stated that the affair is likely to cause a domestic un- pleasantness. Mrs. Thornton charges that the young man threatened to kill her. This case will, in all probability, be tried tomorrow, when the affair will again be ventilated in court. - a Forfeited Collateral. W. J. Costello, charged with concealed weapons, forfeited $50 collateral in the Po- lice Court today. The court ordered the de- struction of the weapon. ——— Mannie Gray, the famous thoroughbred brood mare, died at Major B. G. Thomas’ farm in Kentucky Monday of heart dis- ease.

Resolutions Presented Calling for Legislation to Secure an Equitable Basis for the Trafic. The National Retail Liquor Dealers’ As- sociation got down to real business in its convention at the Ebbitt Hovse this morn- ing, ard sat behind closed docrs for several hours, engaged in an animated discussion of the various matters needing considera- tion. Chairman Morrissey grew warm de- ciding the many parliamentary questions propounded and got out of his coat. in order to better settle them. The first business considered was -the report of the finance committee, which showed the organization to be in excellent financial standing, and then Mr. B. T. Kearns, chairman of the committee on resolutions, submitted the report of that body. The Resolutions Presented. ‘The resclutions recited that the associa~ tion affirmed and believed that its mem- bers are engaged in a legitimate trade, from which a larger revenue is exacted than any other business in the United States, and such being the fact, insists that all citizens are entitled to enjoy the largest meature of personal freedom con- sistent with good government and the wel- fare of the community. It believed that the public demands the existence of the saloon because it was a public necessity and authorized by Icgislative enactments, and the members believed the suppression of the legitimate saloon tends to degen- erate the traffic and society retaliates by supporting illicit and illegal establish- ments, which not only tend to debauch the morals of the community, but deprive the nation and state of their revenue. It was therefore resolved that it was the wish of the representatives present that on organization be maintained, - through which and by which the interests of the retail trade in every section of the country can be united in strength and influence,.and while they favored the ex- istence of such an organization in ro sense affiliated with any political-party, yet they deemed it necessary to watch all po- litical movements with the greatest care and carefully investigate the personnel of the respective candidates and support only those who declare themselves in favor of personal liberty and oppose to the utter- most any candidate of any party who caters to the intolerant and fanatical. An Equitable Regulation of the Trafic. It was also resolved to demand from the national and local authorities an equitable regulation of the retail liquor traffic upon a basis which would accord retail dealers the same rights as those engaged in any other legitimate trade. The association protested egainst the enactment of unjust sumptu- ary legislation, and pledged itself to resist all lawmaking powers who may attempt to levy an unequal or unjust tax or fee vpon,one class of business, and to aid in opposing all. unjust restrictions to the liquor traffic. In conclusion, the resolutions emphatically denounced all illicit and dis- reputable resorts which may be tolerated for any purpose, because they propagate drunkenness and debauchery among the ycuth of the community, desecrate the Sab- bath and cast an odium upon the legitimate trade, and pledged the association to assist in their suppression. After discussion, the resolutions were unanimously adopted, and the convention proceeded to the considera- ticn of grievances existing in various states and cities. The Afternoon Session. The afternoon sevsion was devoted to a consideration of state reports, and meas- ures were taken to assist the city and state associations .which are confronted with issues that constitute grievances. An effort to get some definite expression on the proposed increase of the beer tax was frustrated, it being pointed out that ie resolutions adopted in the morning gener- ally covered that subject, while there was no necessity of meeting an issue until It was more fully defined. The election of officers was then proceeded with, and quite a contest developed over the presidency, the candidates being John Morrissey and Mr. Patterson of Philadelphia. The delegates will be entertained at a banquet at the Ebbitt House tonight, and will spend tomorrow in Philadelphia, as the guests of the local liquor men’s asso- ciation there, while the New York organ- ization will entertain them in the metropo- lis Friday. Stringing Wires. Krank H. Clark, an officer of the United States Electric Light Company, was charg- ed in the Police Court today with occupy- ing public space for private purposes. It is charged that persons in the employ of the company strung two service wires across M street in Georgetown in violation of law. Mr. Henry Wise Garnett will represent the defendant when the case is tried in the Police Court Saturday. Nicotine Neutralized CHEW AND SMOKB MUAIOG POUCH TOBACCO. NO NERVES QUAEING.
