Prominent members of the Bimetallic Leagues are arrivirg to attend the silver conference to be held on Wednesday. Gen. A. J. Warrer, a leading spirit among these men, is at the Ebbitt House. Speak- ing to a representative of The Star today about the conference and its object; Gen. Warner sald: “The silver men can win this presidential race by united action, and we are anxious to promote that end. We shall consider everything bearing legitimately on the sub- ject. We are opposing nobody but the gold men, no policy but the gold policy. We desire to co-operate with men of any party who, seeing that the time for supreme ..ction has arrived, are willing to enlist for this campaign under the banner of the white metal.” Populist Plan Praised. - “What do you think of the aétion of the national committee of the populist party just taken at St. Louis?” “I think well of it. The action is wise and conservative. It evidences the proper appreciation of the situation. It advocates a union of the friends of silver, and the putting of a national ticket in the field af- ter the two oid parties shall have made their nominations. The assumption as to what the two old parties will do on the financial question {s an entirely safe one. Both will adopt gold platforms. The free silver democrats will make an earnest effort to stem the tide in that party, but they'll fail. Then the test of the silver men will e. The elzction of either the republican or democratic ticket will mean the continuation of the gold policy. The only hope of silver will lie in opposition to the old parties, and a strong third ticket, thoroughly representative of the silver cause, ought to sweep the country. Let populists, bimetal:ists, silver democrats, sil- ver republicans, all come together, and the battle wil! be won.” Effect of n Single Issue. “But many silver democrats object to going into a new party representative of but one issue,” was suggested. “How do such men read history?” was General Warner’s reply. “Power has al- ways been obtained on one issue. The democracy under Jefferson first won on the issue of anti-centralization. The re- Publicans under Lincoln won on the anti- slavery issue, and the democracy came back in 1884 on the tariff issue. A multiplicity of issues accomplishes nothing. The longer the platform, the shorter the vote. No, the real reason for a new party is the fact that there is one issue whose overshadowing importance calls for a new party. The man who is not for silver is against silver, and the man who is for silver ought to be will- ing to put silver above everything else. Un- til our money policy is corrected, and es- tablished in the interests of the people instead of in the interests of the bankers, it is useless to talk about minor ‘matters. The people are not so seriously divided about the little things.” : ‘The New Bond Call. “What bearing has this new bond call on the question?” “It simply affords another fllustration of the fact that the gold policy can only be maintained by ceaseless and expensive bor- rowing on the part of the government. In my judgment, the present course of the Treasury Department is the most imbecile in its whole history from the foundation of the government. At one window gold is taken in for interest-hearing bonds, and at arcther window paid out for greenbacks which greedy bankers have collécted .for their own seliish uses. And there will be no end to the performance until the people at the polls order it stopped. I am expect- ue that order to be issued next Novem- er.” A New Party. There is now little doubt that the con- ference of silver men here Wednesday. means the launching of a new party into the political arena. In fact, the new Party may be looked for Thursday morning. In the above interview with Gen. A. J. War- ner, the president of the American Bime- tallic League, enough is said to show what is to be the program. The free silver men are already arriving. Among them here, besides General Warner, are ex-Governor Toole of Montana, R. Mc- Intosh of Utah, President Wardall of the California grange, and Geo. P. McKenney of California. A big delegation is expect- ed from Chicago tomorrow. W. H. Har- vey has been invited, and is expected to be present. In launching the new party the silver ven have made up their mind to go to the country on the single issue of finance, and to put all other questicns aside un‘ hi one is settled. ei that eee Transfers of Real Estate.

THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES. It is Thought That They Will Be Held in March. ‘A favorite topic of conversation when lecal democrats meet is the coming elec- tion of delegates to represent tke District in the national convention. As six are to be chosen this year instead of two, it is eapected that the number of candidates will be very large. As one of the local pol- {ticlans remarked today: “All the men prominent in this connection in former years will no doubt figure again as candi- ates. and in addition there will be a host who, having had no chance heretofore, will now make an effort to secure the nor.”” * Sieiaexnectea that the usual custom will be followed, and that after the national ecmmittee issues a call for the convention a meeting of the District central committee will be called. The date for the latter will probably be about the widdle of next month, and the primaries and the election will be held some time in March. aa The Mutual Company’s Election. ‘An event of considerable interest, made so by the fact that about 9,000 persons are entitled to vote, was the annual election to- day of a board of managers for the Mutual Fire Insurance Company of the District of Columbia. The offices of the company were crowded’ during the day with voters, the majority of whom, after dropping their slips in the ballot box, remained a few minutes and conversed with fellow stock- holders over the outlook. Although the polls will not be closed until 6 o'clock this evening, it was established before noon, so a Sta reporter was in- formed, that the old board of managers would be practically unanimously re-elected, as follows: Messrs. Jesse B. Wilson, Mat- thew G. Emery, James W. Barker, George ‘T. Dearing, Albanus L. Johnson, T. A. Lam- bert and W. A. H. Church. However, quite a number of complimentary votes were cast for Messrs. Ed. Donn, Andrew Archer and 0, T. Thompson. ‘The board of managers will meet to elect officers Monday, February 8. —— The Farmer Discharged, John R. Scott, the aged farmer from place called Germantown, near Fairfax Court House, who was arrested last week ‘because he had a pistol in his pocket, was called in court today to have his case fizally disposed of. The old man claimed that he. was the victim of a conspiracy. His son, he said, gave him the pistol to take home, aud then caused his arrest. Divorce proceedings between the old man and his wife are pending in Virginia, and it is claimed that this affair was brought about to influence the Virginia case. Judge Miller was satisfied that the pistol was given to the old man by his son, and discharged him from custody. “+ —. Held for the Grand Jury. Henry Pinkert, colored, and Mary Pink- ert, his wife, arrested by Detective Rhodes, were given a preliminary hearing in the Police Court today on a charge of grand larceny. It was alleged that the wife, who was a domestic at the house of Mr. George W. Sinsner, 1415 Rhode Island avenue, took a@ diamond ring and turned it over to her husband. They ere held in $500 security for the grand jury. 2 Looking for Mrs. Sexbury.

Complains Growin: pat “dr a Change Yat ‘the Mail Baw edir Shop. ~ Complaint has been “made by émployes’ in the government mail,équipment shop on C street’ northwest of a chapge made in the manner of paying forthe work of ‘re- pairing the mail’ sacks sent'there to be Te raired. The'assertion has been made that it 1s impossible for a weman to make under the new system more than $1 per day, while many of the 153 employed there are said to make much less than that sum. In consequence of this dissatisfaction a commitiee, representing the employes a few days ago called on Sécond Assistant Postmaster General’ Neilson and urged him to increase the rates now paid. Mr. Neilson declined to do s0 on the ground that justice to the government de- mands that the present schedule shall be continued for some time at least. Refer- ring to this matter Mr. Neilson today said to a Star reporter “Certain changes of an important nature have during the last few months been-made in the, machinery used in tae work of repairing mail bags and the manner of their Inspection. These changes very materially reduced the amount of time and work required to repair the aver- age sack. “The government has been at great ex- pense in putting in a large number of sew- ing machines and also incurred additional expense in renewing a lot of cld worn-out equipment, and the Post Office Department thought it was a proper thing to readjust the wages upon a basis that would require the same amount’ of work for the same smount of money that had been previously “The sewing machines to which objection has been made do very much better work than can be done by hand, while the closer inspection threw out a large quantity of old-and very-hard-to-repair sacks. “If the change had rot been made and the former rates continued to be paid; the wages would have amounted to at least one-half higher than was ever contem- plated or considered proper for such work. ‘We are actuated in’ this upon the prin- ciple that as a sack with two holes in‘ tt to darn or patch can be repaired in very much less time than one having five holes, it should be repaired at less expense to the government than the one with five ‘holes. This principle also applies to the rates that Were formerly paid to the hand sewers. Up to a téw months ago there were but few machines in the shop, and those who oper- ated them were paid by.the month. It was very soon found after we put in the large number of machines that. the good operators preferred to work by hand because they could make more money per month, while-the poorer ‘operators, who were inclined to take it very easy, worked 80 slowly that the average of sacks re- paired by them was so much reduced as to make the machines an‘absdlute failure, and ars ae department with the neces- putting tl o1 a, ie the entite force on piece “The effort was then mane to fix,a fair rate for the work.

The news sent out from New York Sat- urday night that a rumor prevailed there parties at present financially interested in Baltimore and Ohio, railroad affgirs have, through their representatives, agreed to elect Congressman John K. Cowen of Balti- more to the presidency of the company was yesterday the general subject of con- versation in- Baltimore and New York among men interested in railroads. In Baltimore, where a Star reporter met and talked with a number of persons who ere friendly to the Baltimore and Ohio, the report was received with pleasure. Consid- erable surprise was manifested that the name of Mr. Cowen had not been men- tlored sooner by the committee, to whom bas been entrusted the duty of selecting a president. Among the names mentioned during the last few days for the vacant position are those of D. B. Robinson, now vice president ef the Santa Fe system, and W. H. Bald- win, second vice president of the Southern Railway Company, and whose office is in this city. It is said that Mr. Baldwin would not leave his present position, unless the offer of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co. to advance $4,000,000 to the Baltimore and Obio is accepted. In such event the control of the Baitimore and Ohio will pass into the hands of J. P. Morgan & Co., and the Baltimore and Ohio and Southern railways be, it is believed, practically consolidated, both being controlled by the same bankers. The Debt and the Presidency. For some time past the efforts of the interests now controlling the Baltimore and Ohio have been directed toward securing the funds necessary, to meet the obligation referred to. It has been intended to se- lect a president whose views as to railroad management should be in accordance with those of the parties from whom the money should be obtained. Within the last few days, however, the committee has, it is said, decided to first selecet a president and let the present chairman of the finance committee of the company, Colonel Alex- ander Shaw, arrange for the raising of the large amount of money necessary to pay the indebtedness of the company. The speedy selection of a successor to Mr. Mayer is regarded as a matter of the high- est importance and the first that must be settled. The accession of Mr. Cowen, now general counsel of the Baltimore and Ohio, to the presidency would indicate that Miss Mary Garrett and other large stockholders who are jocilated with her have succeeded in ing such financial arrangements, through Colonel Shaw, as will retain the presidency of the road in the same quarters where it has been for nearly forty years. Although Mr. Cowen has never been em- ployed in the administrative offices of a railroad company, he is regarded by those who know him best as a great practical railroad man. His entire legal practice has been in the conduct of the railroad cases for the Baltimore and Ohio. For the past ten years he has devoted much time to the study of the great problems relative to safe and economical manage- ment of the company in whose service he has for so long been chief of the legal department. It was he who conceived the idea of mov- ing trains through*the long belt line tunnel at Baitimore by means of electricity. A Double Head, Perhaps. _ The belief is general that the English Plan of having two heads for a great rail- way system will be adopted by the directors of the B. and 0, at their meeting in Feb- ruary. The idea that has been advanced in some quarters that there might be a clash should the president of the B. and O. and the chairman of the finance committee be eguals in rank, is ridiculed by many of those: posted, as each would be supreme in authority in his own particular field. Thus, while Mr. Cowen, if he shall become pres- ident, will have absolute control of all mat- ters relating to the operating of the road, he would not be bothered with the cares of its financial affairs, and in the latter the chairman of the finance committee, which position, it is assumed, will continue to be held by Col. Shaw, will have supreme authority, but neither will have any right to interfere in the jurisdiction of the other. A gentleman who is interested in the B. and O. to the extent of more than $700,- 000, yesterday told a Star reporter that Mr. Cowen is the logical candidate for the presidency of the company, as he knows more about its affairs than any other living man, while several bankers stated that during the last six or seven years he has Prepared every mortgage that has been given, every bond that has been issued, and in fact, has personally conducted or super- intended every legal transaction that has occurred. It is understood that should Mr. Cowen become president of the B. and O. he will resign his seat in Congress. —_—_-— THE COURTS. Court of Appeals—Present, Justices Mor- ris and Shepard. Frederic 8.
