Demand of the Populists Agreed to by the Democra: At 6 o’clock last evening the democratic and populist state conventions at Boise, Idaho, had not completed their work, the populists having made very little progress during the day. The conference committee reported the division, as given in Thursday night's dispatches; also that the fused par- ty be called the reople’s democratic party. The arrangerrent respecting the United States Senator does not please the popu- Usts, and they spent the entire day trying to get it straightened, the last demand be- ing thai the democrats shall agree to sup- ort a man selected by the populist legis- lative caucus. The populists did nothing more than to adopt their platform. It is devoted entirely to state matters. One plank says: “We heartily indorse the action of the national people's party in convention at St. Louts.” Another plank of general interest is: “Be- Heving in equal rights to all and spectal privileges to none, we favor the adoption of the pending woman suffrage amendment to the Constitution.” The democratic convention went ahead faster. It adopted a platform and nominat- ed R. P. Quarles of Salmon for supreme judge and Frank Stuenenberg of Caldwell for governor. The platform says In part: “Representatives of the party in Idaho in convention renew their fidelity to the prin- ciples of the democratic party as formu- lated by Jefferson and reaffirmed in the platform adopted by the representatives of our party in the Chicago convention of 1896. We ratify and confirm the nomina- tions made at Chicago, and pledge our- selves to use every honorable effort to se- cure the election of William J. Bryan and Arthur Sewall President and Vice Presi- dent of the United States. We recommend to the favorable consideration of the voters of the state the proposed constitutional amendment granting equal suffrage, be- Meving that this great question should re- ceive the earnest attention of every person as an important factor of the future wel- fare of the state.” ‘At the evening session the democrats no- tified the populists that they would accede to the last demand. The populists at once receded and fusion was closed up. ——_—___+ e+ —___ The Late Reuben Parnell. Mr. Reuben Parnell, who died tn this city last Morday, was born in King William county, Va., in 1811.

COST OF MAINTAINING GOLD RESERVE Believes in the Government Paying Out Silver. THE UNDERLYING QUESTION LAUREL, Md., August 22.—The home of Senator. Arthur P. Gorman was the scene last night of the first political meeting in Maryland during the campaign. The orator of the occasion was ex-Congressman Rich- ard P. Bland, who, until Bryan made his famous speech at the Chicago convention. was the leading candidate for the presi- dency. While at the home ot Senator Gor- man, Mr. Bland was not there at the Sena- tor’s invitation. He was there at the re- quest and as the guest of Auditor Ernest P. Baldwin of the Treasury Department, who is a warm personal friend of Mr. Bland, their friendship dating back to the tame when Auditor Baldwin was a factor in Missouri politics and a member of the Missouri state senate. Mr. Baldwin is one of the few administration officials who favor the free coinage of silver. Mr. and Mrs. Bland went out to Laurel from Washington at 4:53 o'clock, and were met at the depot by Auditor Baldwin, who escorted them to his home, on Railroad avenue. Between 7 and 7:45 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Bland held a public reception at Mr. Baldwin's residence and shook hands with several hundred persons. After the reception Mr. Bland was escorted by a torchlight procession through the principal streets of Laurel. He occupied an open carriage in the procession with Mr. Law- rence Gardner, the District national com- mitteeman, and Mayor Phelps of Laurel. Mrs. Bland was in another carriage with Mrs. Ernest P. Baldwin and her nicce, Miss Thomas of Missouri. All along the route of the procession Mr. Bland was cheered. The procession was headed by the Laurel Military Band. The procession arrived at the Laurel Brove, the place of the meeting, at about 5:15, and at 8:20 the meeting was called to crder by President T. M. Baldwin of the Laurel Democratic Club, under whose aus- pices the meeting was held. Mayor Ed- ward Phelps was chairman of the meeting. There was a large gathering, running above the thousand mark. The audience consist- ed of farmers from Anne Arundel, Howard, Montgomery and Prince George's. There were also delegations present from the East Washington Democratic Association and other democratic organizations from the District. A large number of the Lakeland Bryan and Sewall Club attended. Mayor Edward Phelps introduced the dis- tinguished silver leader, amid great cheer- ing. Most of his audience appeared to be in sympathy with his utterances. Mr. Bland’s Speech. Mr. Bland said, in part: ‘Fellow citizens, are you satisfied with the present condition of affairs? (Cries of ‘No, no!") If you are not, how are these conditions to be changed? (Cries of ‘By free stilver.’) Yes, they are to be changed by free silver and the ballot box. Everybody expects a change. Even Will!am C. Whitney and the monopolists of this country expect a change. This ts the first time in the past quarter of a century that the lines have been drawn between the great voting mass- es of the people of this country and those who have been the beneficiaries of class legislation. “What we complain of today is that it has cost this government and the taxpa: ers of this nation from $252,000,000 to $262,- 000,000 In the past three years to maintain the gold standard. When you count the in- terest on that amount the total will be more than double that amount. It so hap- pens, and I thank God, that our party has broken loose from the Whitneys, the cor- porations and the trusts of this country. We believe the laboring classes of this country ought to take charge of this gov- ernment and control it in their interest. Our opponents are endeavoring to put us on the defensive, but they cannot do it. If the Republicans Won. “If the republicans put Mr. McKinley in the executive chair, he will do exactly whet Mr. Cleveland has done, and can do nothing else. To maintain the gold stand ard he will have to issue bonds as Mr. Cleveiand has done. Republicans are de- nouncing Mr. Cleveland. and will vote for McKinley, who canrot do anything more than Mr. Cleveland has done. How can Mr. McKinley maintain the gold standard in any other way than Mr. Cleveland has done? You have no law upon the statute book that requires that a single cent shall be paid in gold and gold only. Your in- ternal revenue taxes may be pald in gold or silver certificates, or any form of cur- rency, as well as your other taxes. The gold people intend to make the customs duties and other duties, as well as taxes, payable in gold. When they make us pay taxes in gold and only gold, then the la- boring man will understand what taxation means. The United States genate is the body which stands between the people and these Wall street sharks. A bill to issue bonds of different denominations was brought up in the last Congress, but failed to pass the Senate and died in that body. The Senate is for free coinage by a ma- jority, and will peewee and bar out any lestela tion: upon the lines of the gold stand- ar “In the election of Mr. Bryan {s the only hope of a change. You could not have a tariff bill passed, even if Mr. McKinley should be elected, because the Senate stands as a barrier against it. You could not pass any bill looking to the mainte- nance of the gold standard because the Senate would oppose. even if Mr. McKinley occupied the executive chair*and desire it. You might as well pass a decree that Mr.-Cleveland should be President the next four years as to elect Mr. McKinley. Mr. McKinley would have to rely upon the laws, which Mr. Cleveland has had to do, namely, to sell bonds all the time in order to keep up the gold reserve. “I believe the temper of the American people is such that they will not be able to pass any tariff or currency legislation that dees not include the restoration of sil- ver. (Applavse.) “In 1892 we voted for a change, but it was simply the republicuns in over again. We intend now to have a change. (A voice—“L3t us have Gorman democ- racy."") Redeem in Silver. “If the Treasury Department would per- form its duty right ard conform to the law when these Evropean speculators demand- ed gold for expcrt, und the government had silver in greater amount, they should turn silver over to them, and thus stop ihe gold drain, “The gc!d people claim to be very mag- nanimous. Do they propose, in maintain- ing the gold standard, to make the rich Poorer and the poor richer, as they would have you believe? Why, of course, not. “With free colnage, we are told that all of our gold will go abroad. It has all gone abroad elready. The only way you can get gold today Is by issuing bonds. “We are told that if we pay out silver the same as gold we will go to a silver besis, And yet Mr. Sherman, after the law of 1878, v hich authorized the limited coin- age of allver, had passed, Insisted that the law enabled’ him to resume specie pay- ments. Mr. Carlisle in his testimony before the judiciary committee in the Fifty-third Congress sald that had it been the policy of the government to redeem in allver as well as in gold from the beginning of re- sumption he belfeved it would work well, but he was afrald to try the experiment, for fear that it might result disastrously. The people will decide this. France Pays Out Silver. “These gold people point to other coun- tries and nations as a lesson to us. But let us investigate. Here is France. That country has more silver and gold than we have in circulation, and has more paper than we have redeemable in gold or silver outstanding. The Bank of France, which is practically controlled by the govern- ment, pays out silver without stint or limit. No man can demand gold at that bank and get it at pleasure. He cannot get it either for domestic or foreign use. They pay out silver, and for this reason THE OFFICIAL WEATHER MAP.

Jf France is on a silver basis, it is as good as a gold basis. “You have got to pay a premium for gold at London and Berlin. Nowhere, ex- cept at the federal treasury at Washing- ton, can gold be drawn out without a pre- mium. The bankers of England draw gold from our treasury and export it for the of their banks. When we want it we have got to issue bonds to buy it back again. “Why do the gold people denounce the Chicago ticket and platform? It is be- cause they believe that if it is successful that their day of raiding the treasury, of speculating In gold, or reorganizing trusts and monopolies w!thout being prosecuted under the law will have come to an end. The Underlying Question. “The money question is the overshadow ing issue, but behind it there is another question which addresses Itself to the free people of this country, and that Is, When are you going to take control of your coun- try and govern it yourselves? (Cries of ‘We are ready now.’) You have a candi- date now pledged to it, and the men ar- rayed against you fully understand this. Coming of Foreign Silver. “They tell us that if we restore silver all of the silver of the world will be dump- ed on the mints of the United States. When it comes what will be done with !t? (A voice, ‘Give it to Mary Hanna.") If it is coined into our money will It be ship- ped back from whence it came? No. It will be invested here in property; it will be used to erect factories, and the men who have tramped for work and begged for bread will find work at gopd wages. So, if the dump comes it will be put to some useful purpose. It will give labor employment and promote industrial enter- pr It will increase our production. of farm, factory and mine. But this will zot be done. There will be po great dump of silver dollz Stlyer will rémain in ex- istence as money and that''whtch ts being produced at the mines will go to the mints of this country and others {ind’go into cir- cuation and will not be denlel monetary use will buy as much as our gold dollar. Why? Because the wealth of this country keeps the silver dollar on par with the gold dollar. Our sliver dollar is compared to the Mexican dollar, but the gold people know that this country fs greater than that country; that our wealth and amount of production is not to he compared with that of Mexico. “If the fiat of Queen Victotia makes gold the money of the world, why can’t the fiat of Uncle Sam make silver the: money of the world? If England hag had the power to make gold the money of the world where is the power of this country {f she cannot dictate the money of the world.” Mr. Bland then defined the term of 16 to 1. Effect of Free Coinage. “They say the demonetization of silver has not been the cause of a fall in prices. Why on earth, then, are they insisting that it should not be restored? With free coinage you will have the right to draw on two supplies of morey. If our dollar will be worth only 56 cents under free coin- age, as is claimed, you will have to pay, then, two 50c. dollars, or two uf our pres- ent dollars where you now pay one. It will mean that a lot in this town worth $500 will be worth $1,000; that a bushel of wheat today worth 60 cents will be worth $1; that a man who gets 50-cent wages will then demand a dc!lar, and that all prop- erty will be worth twice as much as $t is now. “Some of the newspapers tell us that low prices are good for us, and yet in an- other column you will see them exultant, because they see a rise in the market. This {s but deceit. The majority of the metropolitan press in the country today Is so subsidized by monopoly that it has no conscience. (Applause.) Of course, I make some exceptions.”” Mr. Bland closed with an appeal to all to do their duty on election day and secure relief from present oppression in the clec- tion of Mr. Bryan. Mr. and Mrs. Bland spent the night at the residence of Auditcr and Mrs. Bald- win, and returned to Washington this morning. —— Retirement of Col. W, B. Hughes. Col. William B.

Father Martinel Expected by Mem- bers of the Order to Arrive in This Ccuntry Some Time in September. No word has yet been received by the Augustinian Fathers in Philadelphia con- firming the published statement that the Most Rev. Sebastian Martineill, prior pro- vineial of the Augustinian Order through- out the world, has been appointed by Pope Leo XIII to succeed Cardinal Satolli as apostolic delegate to the United States. The general bellef, however, which pre- valls not cnly among the ‘Augustinians, but also among the Jesuits and the Catho- lic clergy, both secular and regular, is that the announcement is correct and that Most Rev. Sebastian Martinell Father Martinelli will arrive in this coun- try some time next month to assume the important duties of his office. Speaking to a Philadelphia Ledger re- Porter one of the Order of Hermit Fathers of St. Augustine, as the members of the order of which Father Martinelli is the head are called, said: “All we know is that the Very Rev. Chas. M. Driscoll, O. 8. A., who is provincial of the order in this country, has been called to Rome by Father Martinellf. Father Driscoll sailed from New York for Havre on last Saturday a week ago, and, it is thought, he will probably return to this country in company with Father Martin- elll some time next month, as he did two years ago, when the prior provincial first came to the United States to preside at the chapter of the Augustinian Order which was held in July, 1894, at Villa Nova. “Father Drisccll was formerly secretary of Father Martinelli, who was the first prior provincial of the Augustinians who ever visited this country. Father Martin- elli remained in the United States about six weeks, and during that time visited all the houses of the Augustinian Order in this country. “He is a man of affable manner. In de- meanor he is very quiet. He is about five feet seven inches in height, with dark eves and dark hair. His countenance is indica- tive of great intellectuali “Father Martinelli is a very learned man. His work at Rome has been of an important character. Besides being head of the Augustinians, he has been what is known as a ‘consultor’ in the congregation of the holy office, which has to do with affairs of the church all over the world. “Father Martinelli speaks English fluent- ly. He resides at the Augustinian Convent of St. Monica, which is not far from St. Peter's, in Rome. For years he has been in close touch with the irish Augustinians, who reside in St. Patrick's Convent in Rome, and is especially fond of Ameri- cans.” In the United States the Augustinians have only one province. They are more numerous in other countries, however. In Spain and the Philippine Islands, for in- stance, they have half a dozen provinces, and they are also established in Germany, Belgium, Holland, Austria, Ireland and England. In this country the order num- bers about sixty priests. ‘The Augustinians came to Philadelphia about 1796, and, it is said, were the ilrst canonically established religious province in the United States. The Augustinian Order is one of the four mendicant orders of the Catholic Church, the other three being the Carmelites, the Franciscans and the Dominicans. It claims its origin from St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, who was born in Numidia Novem- ber 13, A.D. 354, and who has been pro- nounced the greatest of the four doctors of the church, “more profound than Am- brose, his spiritual father; more original and systematic than Jerome, his contem- porary and correspondent, and intellectu- ally far more distinguisned than Gregory the Great, the last of the series.” A union of the order, which had existed in separate congregations, was effected in A.D. 1254. Two habits are prescribed for the membera, one of black, which is worn in the church and outside the house, the other consisting of a white cowl ami robe and a leather cincture. This last article of apparel is used in imitation of that worn by St. Augustine when he was bap- tized by St. Ambrose at Milan. In this country, however, the priests of the order wear the black habit only; they live a ccmmon life, and their bedrooms, which are called “cells,” are carpetless and de- void of all luxuries. The Jate Cardinal Martinelli, also an Au- gustinian, who died about eight years ago, was a brother of Father Martinelli. = aS es Discarded the Leggins. The hot and cumbersome leather and can- vas leggins are not worn so generally by the ladies as they were earlier in the year. The skirts have been lengthened slightly, and ordinary stockings are worn. These look neat and comfortable. The women are also wearing a fetching shirt waist in pleasant colors, with very wide sleeves. The effect is pretty. As they skim by with these X ray sleeves fluttering in the wind they look not unlike gigantic butterflies. TO UNITE IRISHMEN Purpose of the Coming Convention at Dublin. JOHN DILLON WILLING 10 RETIRE ae Se ag Hopes to See Basis Provided for Reuniting the Party. OTHER LEADERS DISSENT ——— (Copyright, 1896, by the Associated Press.) LONDON, August 22.—The Irish national convertion opens its sessions in Dublin Tuesday, September 1. It is expected that about 1,200 delegates from Ireland and Great Britain will be present. Several dele- gates are also expected from America, Canada, Australia and South Africa, but it is not possible to estimate their numbers. The convention is expected to last three days. It has been summoned, so its pro- moters state, with “the desire of laying down a platform in which all Irish na- tlonalists who are supporters of home rule can unite and thus secure a united body of national representatives in parliament.” To a representative of the Associated Press Mr. John Dillon, M. P., after caree fully considering the developments of the past fortnight, said: A Basis for Reunion. “I do not expect miracles from the con- vention, but I do see the strongest ground for hope that it will provide a pasis of reunion. It will afford an opportunity to all Irish nationalists who are disgusted with the contentions and divisions of the last few years to make their voices heard And I am convinced that although complete reunion may not be achieved at the con- vention a movement will spring from it which will result in the reconstruction cf a united Irish party. The divisions among the Irish members of parliament cast dis- credit upon Ireland, and to a gveat extent paralyze the power of the Irish party in parliament to forward the interests of the national cause, and if they were allowed to continue they would inevitably once more entirely destroy the confidence of the Irish people in the efficacy of any action in the British parliament. These dissensions do not spring from any essential difference in policy, but are questions of personality, and ought not to be tolerated by the Irish _peo- ple. “In promoting the convention which will meet in Dublin in September, I have sim- ply been pursuing the policy ‘which I have followed since I was elected In February last ax chairman by the seventy-one inem- bers who constitute the national party in parliament. That policy is based on the conviction that reunion among the nation- alists Is of the first importance in the na- tenal program. “It has been charged against me by thos who are opposed to the reunion that I make it a concition that nationalists shall unite under my chairmanship. ‘There is not the slightest fovndation for this state- ment, as I have all along made it ciear that the moment any one can be agreed upon under whose chairmanship or lead- «rship all will consent to unite, my resiz- nation is at the disposal of the national party. This will be made quite clear to the convention And, for my part, I de not care to what section the man’ may have belonged, providtd he can secure the un ed support of the Irish nationalist’ mem- bers. I should resign immediately favor and give him loyal support. “The regulations under which the con- vention has been summoned are the best proof that no attempt has been made to Pack it In any particular interest; ali or- ganized bodies of nationalists having been invited to send delegates in proportion to their strength. In view of the rumors that there is not so much harmony in regard to the conven- tion as Mr. Dillon's hope would lead one to suppose, the Associated Press representa- live asked Mr. T. P. Healy, M. P., his views. Mr. Healy sai Healy Will Stay Away. “I am not going to attend the convention. At least twenty-five of my friends will also stay away. The convention, as a conv tion of the Irish race, is a fraud. It is called simply to legitimatize the position of Mr. Dillon. It is all very well to talk about delegates from Australia, America and Canada, but such delegates wiil not come in expectation of controlling anything. They will be controlled, because it is im- possible for them to understand the exact situation of affairs. Then, again, any true convention of the Irish race would be called on a definite statement of princi- ples, certain published resolutions; {t would not be a mouse-trap, baited with harmony cheese, to be shut with a snap as soon as the refractory mice were nicely inside. The first thing that will be done will be to bind the minority by the majority rule. Will that make harmony? “The convention ts a fraud, and in no sense car it reoresent the Irish race.” The results of the late session do not make for reunion, 6s the fate of the land bill was fashioned by Healy and not Dillon. The government has really been afraid of Healy, who, with a handful of Irishmen, has set at complete defiance the govern. ment’s majority of 1%). Tke honors of the session are Healy’s. Another Prisoner Released. LONDON, Avgust 22.—Albert George Whitekead, one of the Irtsh political pris- orers who has been serving a life sentence of penal servitude since his conviction in London in 1883, was released from Port- land ccnvict prison this morning. White- head is an American citizen, and prior to his coming to this country resided in the state of New Jersey. He will probably sail for the United States on Monday next. Whitehead, whose real name is Murphy, was convicted with Dr. Thomas Gailagher, Jobn Curtin Kent and Henry Hammond Wilson, in London, thirteen years ago, and sentenced to penal servitude for life.’ The latest reperts from contidential sources on the other side to the men who are working for the Amnesty Association in this country say that Whitehead is mentally unbai- anced, a result of the treatment he received while in prison.
