The board of trustees of the memorial abbey of the south met vesterday at Rich- mond. They found that they could not take out a charter in the form they wish- ed under the laws of Virginia. They there- fore delegated to Col. McIntosh of Missis- sipp) authority to perfect the charter un- der the laws of the state of Alabama, as a compliment to the state whose capital was the first capital of the confederacy. Should there be anything to hinder perfecting it under the laws of Alabama, then it should be obtained under the laws of Mississippi, as @ compliment to the home of Jefferson Davis. Should the laws of both of these states have objectionable features to ob- taining the charter in the form they wish- ed, Col. McIntosh was invested with the discretion to take out @ charter under the laws of any of the southern states. When next they meet for organization they will assemble at Chattanooga, Tenn., as @ point central to the states represent- ed by this board. They will then effect a permanent organization by the election of president, secretary, treasurer and such other officers and subcommittees as they may see proper. ee Test of Plate Armor. A test was made et the Indfan Head proving grounds yesterday of an experi- mental plate of armor made by the D'Humy process, which consists of assembling a number of thin plates in a casing in such @ manner as to present the edges of the Plates to the shot. The result of the test was disappointing. The plates, which alto- gether were eight inches thick, were fired at by an eight-inch shot with a velocity of 1,200 feet r second. ‘The second shot struck the lower portion of the plate, car- ried a number of small billets or thin plates bodily through the backing and also smashed the projectile into small pieces, BLAND MEN SERENE (Continued from Second Page.) attitude of last night and this morning of not talking upon the issue is the basis of much speculation this morning. It had been supposed that both he and Mr. Whit- ney would be the great prophets of the gold movement and would do the talking, but, so far, while Mr. Whitney is looked upon as the leader, the statements as to cause and effect of the silver move upon the party have been made by ex-Gov. Flower and John R. Fellows. Whether Senator Hill's quietude betokens a desize to take the temporary chairmanship of the convention untrammeled by any incendtary or absolutely partial statement, or whether it is merely the quietude that betokens active work for the next few days, 1s un- certain. Silver men pooh-pooh this morn- ing the threats of Flower and Fellows that a silver ticket will be defeated and that democrats will not vote for it. Senator Blackburn was very caustic in his remarks about it. He said: “The walls of the very room in which the statements of silver defeat were made last night re- echoed four years ago with a similar tocsin as to the candidacy of President Cleveland. If I mistake not the. very same voices were raised in an even louder cry than last night that so sure as the convention nominated Mr. Cleveland just so surely would he be defeated. If their predictions of last night are as lacking in fruitfulness as those of four years ago, why, I don’t believe the silver people will quail very much before the denunciations.” Disposition Toward Hill. There seemed to be more of a disposition to accept Hill as temporary chairman among the silver men this morning. The more conservative among them argue that if he is selected by the national committee {t would be unwise for the silver people to attempt any fight over his taking the chatr, for many of the silver adherents are for him, and a split of the silver forces on the first question before the convention would be a bad precedent. Others of the silver men are rabid in their desire that a silver man shall preside, and assert that if tho national committee selects Mr. Hill they will move a substitute. Senator Hill him- self declined to discuss the matter. He said: “It would not be pcelitic for me to say anything prior to the action of the national committee. I am not seeking the honor.” The work of visiting the various delega- tions was begun by the gold men at an early hour, despite the fact that the meet- ing to make assignments had not been held. Cleveland’s Picture Removed. The picture of President Cleveland that surmounted two pictures of Senators Hill and Murphy in New York’s headquarters, } and was pointed to proudly yesterday as the only loyal display of Mr. Cleveland's face, was missing this mornirg, and in its place hung a picture of ex-Gov. Roswell P. Flower. Inquiries as to the whereabouts of the picture called forth the explanation that the “string was weak” and they were afraid {t would fall. The photograph is stored behind the gorgeous bed, cut of sight from the many visitors, and thera seems to be no attempt to secure a better siring or picture wire. There are those who point to the fact that Mr. Hill and Mr. Flower arrived here last evening, but it is also asserted that their arrival has nothing to do with the displacement of the picture. Holes Arrives and is Interviewed. Horace Boles of Iowa, candidate for the democratic nomination for the presidency, arrived at 6:50 o'clock this morning, and went to the Palmer House, where the Boies headquarters are located. His coming at this time attracted much interest, as he ts the first of the prominent candidates to take an active part in the contest. ‘The ex-governor was met at the train by a delegation of his Iowa friends, but beyond this there was no demonstration. He did not go to the hctel register, but one of his friends registered the governor's name in a bold hand, which was thereafter scanned with Interest as indicative of the rugged character of the candidate. He was as- signed to a room on the third floor, far from the confusion of the corridors and from the Boles headquarters, and here he received the long line of callers who soon entered his door. An obliging attendant presented each visitor by name, and the governor extend- ed a cordial greeting, unmarked by any trace of the effusiveness of a candidate. While known as a popular hand-shaker, the governor maintains a quiet dignity throughout his political conferences. He was dressed in a blue Prince Albert coat, showing signs of travel, and his general appearance was that of a plain, serious man. Shortly after his arrival the governor re- ceived at his room a representative of the Associated Press, and talked with freedom on the sitvation. He did not wish to dis- cuss his personal prospects, or to be put in the embarrassing position of urging his own availalility. He sald he had come here to get acquainted with his friends from various parts of the country. He would not make a protracted stay, he said, but after spending today here would re- turn to his home tomorrow. When asked as tc the silver question as an element in the present contest, Gov. Boies said: “My views favoring the restoration of silver to the coinage are £0 well known and have been expressed in such clear language that it seems unnecessary that I say anything more for the public at this time. I regard the financial question as the great question, the foremost ques- tion before the American people tcday, and I believe the present time is auspi- cious for its solution on the basis of which the people desire. The governor was asked if he felt that the financial question was stirring serious sectional differences. “Any fears I may have had in that re- gard,” he proceeded, “have been entirely dispelled within the last few weeks. Sil- ver sentiment in the east is growing be- yond anything we had reason to expect only a short time ago.” “Do you regard the tariff question as an important tssue at the present time?” the governor was asked. “The people want the money question settled first,” he replied. “I cannot bring myself to believe that the tariff question can be made to cut an important figure in the campaign. In other words, it will be overshadowed by the currency ques- tion.” The Temporary Chairma The movement among the silver forces to agree upon ex-Congressman Bryan of Nebraska for temporary chairman has re- ceived somewhat of a backset on account of the fact that Mr. Bryan's seat in the convention is contested. It has been sug- gested that the national committee may declare that the gold delegation from Ni braska is entitled to the seats from that state, and in that event the silver peopie would be in a somewhat embarrassing pre- dicamert if they should have counted upon Mr. Bryan and had no one else preparing to make the opening speech, upon which such great store is set. «The silver leaders are making an inves- tigation of the chances in the contest. If satisfied that Mr. Bryan will not be dis- turbed in his seat he will be chosen by the silver men, but if there should appear to be any doubt of his being seated they will probably take some one else. Ex-Senator Martin of Kansas has sug--| gerted that in case of the necessity for a change the honor should be conferred upon George Fred. Williams of Massa- chusetts, and the suggestion has been Byles with no small degree of favor. The silver men feel that Mr. Williams’ espousal of the free silver cause in New England has been of vast assistance to them, and they would like to find a grace- ful way of showing their appreciation. The friends of C. 8. Thomas of Denver are also pressing his claims persistently and continue to meet with encourage- ment. . The selection will not be offictally made until Monday afternoon. The Boies Workers. The Boles advocates are not In favor of a caucus for the purpose of nominating a silver candidate. They think that the con- vention should settle all such questions. Nor do they favor the abrogation of the two-thirds rule. They intend, however, to vote down any gold man that the national committee may offer for temporary chair- man and insist upon a silver man for the place. The activity for Boies has been ac- celerated by the arrival of the candidate, but the work is progressing on the lines previously mapped out. Seyeral Iowa democrats, who are anti- silver men, including J. J. Richardson, member of the national committee, are here working against Boles, and joining the gold forces in the effort to prevent the romination of any silver man. This has caused a great deal cf bitterness between the factions, and the Boies men say that they had their fight at home and defeated the anti-silver men overwhelmingly. ‘The Boies men say that the contest should have ended with the state convention, and are decidedly indignant that. the fight should be continued at Chicago. ‘Two Nevada Delegations. Two delegations from Nevada,each claim- ing to be regular, will demand seats in the convention. The issue turns upon the ques- tion whether the convention held at Carson City on June 1 or the one that met at Reno on June 12 was regular. The first convention, controlled by what is called the Keating element, had but seventeen delegates, of whom, it is alleged, twelve Mere employes of the United States mint. This convention did not name presidential electors. The opposing, or Dennis, conven- tion was attended by about 10) delegates, and, besides appointing delegates to the rational convention, named presidential electors. Senators Jones and Stewart up- hold the claims of the Carson City delega- ton, while Dennis’ faction carries a written statement from the secretary of state as- serting its regularity. The Carson City delegates are for Teller, while Bland has been promised the six baton gg the Reno delegates should they be seated. New Eng! d Delegates Tardy. No New England delegation has yet ap- peared on the scene, and New England has been without a voice and apparently with- cut an interest in the preliminaries. The only prominent New Englander here 1s ex- Governor Russell of Massachusetts. A de- sire to take part in the fight for the gold standard brought Governor Russell here be- fore the rest of the delegation. The New England party slated to arrive first is the New Hampshire delegation, which will come today, and all of the other New Engiand states are expected to put in their appearance Sunday. Gov. McCorkle Arrives. Governor McCorkle of West Virginia, whose name has been listed among the pos- sibilities for second place cn the ticket, Was one of the new arrivals. He comes as an onlooker, having no official connection with the convention, but was the central figure of the gathering of West Virginians. MARYLAND DELEGATES RESIGN. Three Gold Standard Men Refased tc Enter the Convention. Three of the Maryland delegates-at- large to the Chicago convention. all gold men, have declined to serve. In letters of resignaticn to Chairman Talbott of the State committee each states his unwil- lingness to be bound by a free silver con- vention or to accept a free silver candi- date. They leave no doubt of their in- j tention to bolt. Charles C. Crothers wired bis resigna- tion last night. Marion DeKalb Smith. former controller of the state, sent his letter to Chairman Talbott ‘yesterd: These two men ere influential democrais. Smith moreover, is a strong Gorman man Serater Gorman realized long ago that | the delegation could not be held for gold, and to avoid personal embarrassment he decided to remain at home. CONFERRING WITH HILL. The New York Senator Has Not Much Senator David B. Hill arrived at Chicago with the New York party, which came last night. The Senator declared that there was absolutely nothing to say on the situation, saying that he had not been on hand long enough to find what was the real situation. When asked if he expected to do anything, he said that he could not say, although he | added, significantly, that a great deal could be done if 1t was gone about in the right way. After dinner Senator Hill, Gov- ernor Flower, Chairman of the State Com-, mittee Hinckley and National Committee- man Sheehan had a conference in the New York headquarters at the Palmer House, and then adjourned to Governor Flower's | rcom fcr a more private conference, before they went into the general conference of anti-silver men, called or later in the even- ing. Racalor Hill refused to gay anything about the proposition to make him tem- porary chairman of the convention; but it was learned from his friends that he would rot refuse to allow his name to be present- ed if the committee skould so determine, and would not be deterred because of the Prospect of being voted down by the sil- ver_men. “Senator Hill,” satd his friends, “is not the man who shies from a position because there is a prospect of a negative result.” The Montana Delegates. W. A. Clark of Butte, Mont., who heads the delegation from Montana, has arrived and opened headquarters for that state at the Auditorium Annex. Mr. Clark says that he has no idea that the delegation will vote for Senator Teller, as they prefer a straight democrat. The other members of the delegation are coming on a special train, and are accompanied by a unique mountain band, which ‘te expected to be a novelty in convention music. OPPOSED TO A CAUCUS. Action Taken by the Indi gation. The Indiana delegation held a protracted meeting at Chicago last night and took un- expected action in opposition to the plan for holding a caucus of silver delegates, at which the silver nominee is to be chosen. Speeches were made denouncing the pro- Fosed caucus as undemocratic, after which the following resolution was unanimously passed: ‘Resoived, That the delegation from In- diana believe that the nominee of this con- vention ought to be made by the conven- tion, and we decline to attend or be bound by the action of any caucus or conference for that purpose.” When the caucus closed Senator Turpie made public the resolution, and added the following statement: “The resolution was passed for the reason that our state and several others have instructed by name for a candidate for the presidency to be voted fcr first and last in the convention. We think also it 1s undemocratic that the question of the nomination for the presi- lency should be submitted to a less body than the whole convention. All the states in the Union have been invited to send del- egates to this convention, and the question of a nomination ought not to be considered in a body consisting of less than all the states and a conference or caucus is not a Dele- convention and ought not to assume io be one.” As the Indiana delegation is conducting the candidacy of Gov. Matthews, the ef- fect of the resolution is te withdraw par- ticipation o1 the part of Gov. Matthews’ friends in the proposed caucus. GARLAND IS MENTIONED. A Boom Started, but Small One. It 1s possible that the name of Augustus H. Garland, Attorney General during Pres- ident Clevelana’s first administration, may be presented to the Chicago convention. Attention has been directed to Mr. Gar- land through a letter he wrote in June of last year to President Brown of the Bimetal- lic League of Memphis, Tenn., in the in- terest of free coinage. As Mr. Garland was a member of Presi- dent Cleveland's first cabinet, eastern and northern democrats would prefer to have him nominated if the nomination of a silver man is inevitable. As yet the Garland boom has been kept considerably out of sight, and it is not likel- ly that it will be brought into the view of the convention until the gold democrats are thoroughly convinced they cannot stem the silver tide. Then, regarding Mr. Gar- land as the most conservative of the silver men, they are likely to throw all their weight in favor of his nomination. SILVER MEN MEET. It is Yet a A Committee Appointed to Assist the Steering Committee. The silver delegates at Chicago held a brief caucus last night to take into consid- eration the advisability of naming a man for temporary chairman of the convention, but postponed action until Monday. The only affirmative action taken consisted in the adoption of a plan suggested by O. W. Powers of Utah to bring the silver dele- gates together in such numbers es to make conference among the delegations possible and render them thorough, without making the meetings so large as to be intractabiegg The plan curgists in the appointment of a mumber from each silver delegation, with power to act for the etate, to meet and confer with the steering committee, con- sisting of Senators Jones, Daniel and Tur- Stone and Altgeld. The mem- committee will be expected to poll their respective delegations on all questions, and to be the representatives of their various states in the proceedings of the silver committee. This committee is to continue in existence until the adjourn- ment of the convention. The committee will be composed of the following dele- gates: Alabama, John W. Tomlinson: Arkansas, J. T. Tillar; California, W. R. Burke; Col- crado, T. J. O'Donnell; Georgia, Patrick Walsh; Idaho, L. L. Haynes; lowa, Cc. A. | Walsh: Kensas, D.' Ober- hetmer; Kentucky, J. C. §. Blackburn; Michigan, George B. Hummer; Mississippt, H. D. Money; Missouri, D. A’ Dearmond: Montana, W. A. Clarke; Nebraska, C. J Smythe; North Carolina, T. J. Jarvis: Ore- D. Mullinix; South Carolina, Benj. James Richardsoi A Washington, W. H! White; Wyoming, Osborne; Arizona, Wiley Jones; Oklahoma, E. F. Mitchel Utah, O. W. Powers; Indian territory Owen; District of Columbia, John Boy) South Dakota, V. 8. No effort was made to secure a recom- mendetion for temporary chairman beyond @ speech made by Mr. O'Donnell of Colo- rado, pressing the name of TC. 8. Thomi of that state for the honor. The meeting adjourned after deciding against any further action on any subject until Monday at 2 o'clock, when the com- mittee provided for will be called together to take action upon any question that may be presented. The meeting was deferred until thai time in order to permit the com- mittee to secure official information as to the action of the national committee on the subject of tempcrary chairman and other questions. Senator Jones was among those depre- cating any immediate selection of a tem- porary chairman. He indicated in his re- marks that there was still reason to be- lieve that the national committee would #e- lect a silver man to preside The committee will also decide at Mon- day’s meeting whether it is desirable to hold a general silver caucus. The question was discussed at some length, several dele- gates, among them Senator Money, advo- cating the cus. Other delegates urged the impracticability of so large a gathering, and it was suggested that any decision to hold such a meeting should at least be postponed until it should be demonstrated whether the committee plen adopted would prove practicable. It is belleved that the postponement of the decision upon # cau- cus to so late a date will have the effect of preventing the holding of any. > SCHOO MILLIONS OF CHILDREN. Interesting Annual Report of Commixsioner of Education, The total erroliment in educational inst!- tutions of all kinds in the United States for the school year 18%-94 was nearly 16,000,000, according to the report for that year just promulgated by Commissioner of Bducation Harris, Of there all but 400,000 were in the regular schools, an increase of about a half million for the year. The percent- ege of total population enrolled in the schools was 20.53. School property gained in value during the year over $26, me and 1,103 more school houses were in op- eration. Discussing educational growth in cities, the report says: “Instead of ninety-nine drudges producing 4 raw material and one person working to furnish and diffuse directive intelligence, it will come to pass in the distant future that one man wiil, by the aid of machinery, furnish the raw material, another man's labor will make the useful articles for food, clothing and shelter, ten more will elab- orate articles of comfort and luxury; the rest, more than 8) per cent of the com- munity, will take up vocations having to do with protection and culture. With the krowth of cities, therefore, there is a rapid increase of educational facilities. In the past twenty years the south has increased 34 ver cent in population, but Its schol attendance has incressed 130 per cent—more than twice as fast as the population. In the twenty years from 1874 to 184 the val- ue of school property in the south increased from $16,000,000 to $51,000,000—an addition Of $40,600,000, or $2,000,000 a year. Higher <ducation has also made a good record.” The report includes Specialist McDonald's criminalogical investigations. The latter seeks to prove that there can be no ration- al treatment of crime until the causes are investigated. He estimates nine-tenths of crime to be due to bad soctal conditions. He attacks the theory that crime is a dis- case in a medical sense, claiming that 82 per cent of criminals are in good health. +e. 0. 0. F.

Funeral services over the body of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe were held yester- day afternoon in the Seminary Chapel at Andover, Mass. Professor Smith, a life- long friend of the dead author, officiated. The body was subsequently conveyed to the private burying ground connected with the Phillips Academy and the Andover Seminary, in which the bodies of Professor Stowe and a son are interred. The pall- bearers were Professors Moore and Church- a Rev. Dr. Bancroft and Rey. Selah Mer- ri. — Capt. Riley of the Bermuda Relensed. Capt. E. G. Riley of the steamer Ber- muda, charged with having violated the neutrality laws by conducting a fillbuster- ing expedition to Cuba, after a hearing be- fdre Commissioner Otto, was discharged yesterday at Jacksonville, Fla. The two government witnesses, Frank Williams and Howard May, sailors on the vessel, were unable to swear that the ship was within 100 miles of Cuba. They were also agreed that Captain Riley did not take charge of the vessel until more than three miles cutside of St. John’s river bar. Up to that time Captain O'Brien had been in command. a Union Veterans’ Union Protest. W. S.
