THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 26, 1895. CURRENCY HIS THEME, Carlisle Endeavors to Enlighten Voters of Kentucky. HAS NO USE FOR SILVER. So He Talks on the Lines Laid Down by the Ad- ministration. GOLD THE PROPER MEDIUM. Coinage of the White Metal, Says | the Secretary, Would Cause a Great Panic. BOWLING GREEN, Kv., May 25.— Hon. J. Carlisle, Secretary of the Treas- ury, spok e to-day in the opera-house on the currency question. The seating capacity of the house is only about 2000, and it was found necessary to exciude women and children, voters only being ad- mitted. When Mr. Carlisle was escorted upon the he was greeted with loud 1 brief statement that he yerat to discuss public in any way to apologize tion, which he knew Mr. Carlisle com- nether we shall continue monetary system, under n use with the people, rether gold, silver or paper, are equal in pur- chasing power in all markets.

It has for that reason been difficult to make the issue clear and distinct. Since Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle have now pronounced for gold there is no longer any need of doubt or concealment. A universal gold standard would be a crime against mankind. Our Nation as a debtor Nation would suffer much more than England from a gold standard. The speaker here quoted from a memo- rial presented yesterday to the Chancellor of the English Exchequer regretting the growing agitation in favor of bimetallism. The United States should take the lead The ratio of 16 to 1is the most practicable ratio. If it should be fixed differently, say 24 to 1, by international agreement, it would contract the metallic money o’ the world one-sixth, increase the debts of the world by millious of dollars, and decrease the market value of the property of the world. “I believe the United States is large enough to afford an unlimited market for all the silver that would come to it and maintain the parity at the present ratio. It is absurd to speak of the silver dollar as a cheap dollar and then complain that free coinage would enrich the mine-owner. “Mr. Cleveland and his associates seem to g to run the Demoeratic party on | the financial policy of John Sherman. | The agitation going on will soon be over | and the Democratic party will rest again | i listurbed possession of Democratic | les, and will present an almost un- broken front in favor of the gold and silver coinage of the constitution.” SHEEP MEN MR EXCTE There Is a Prospect of a Lively Conflict in Colorado.

If we can, by making the ratio sixteen to one, make a silver doilar passas 100 cents when it is v worth 50 cents, why could it not be done &t a ratio of ten to one? Before free coinage of silver can be brought about another Congress and another President favorable to it would have to be elected. This would certainly take three years, and during that time every creditor in the country, seelng the comingof cheap money, wouid call on his debtors to liquidate before the cheap money n effect. This would bring upon the coun- & panic compared with which all former cs were nothing. In1806, when the Span- ish dollar and the French crown were made legal tender and were slightly under weight, it drove all the full-weight American silver dol- lars out of the country, so that Jefferson stopped the coinage of the silver dollar. The subsidiary coin was also driven out because of full fractional weight, and the coins were slightly reduced in weight in order to hold them in circulation. CARLISLE'S 1IN SISTENCIES. They Are Vividly Pointed Out by Senator Blackburn. LAWRENCEBURG, Ky., May 2.— Senator Joseph Blackburn, replying to Sec- retary Carlisle in his speech here to-day, de- clared the administration was not satisfied to let Mr. McCreary, Mr. Buckner, Mr. Brown and himself fight this battle on its merits, but they imported a man who is no greater than John the Baptist to drive back this silver craze as they call it. Con- tinuing, he said: “Now understand what I am going to say about Mr. Carlisle will be said in the mildest tones possible.” He went on to prove Mr. Carlisle’s inconsisteney in view of the Secretary’s record in Congress. The peaker then said: “Now, I know you will say that showing his inconsistency does not answer his argument. I know that,and I am now going to answer his argument—every point of it. I thought when the mighty Carlisle came they were going to throw new light on this subject, but they did not. He did not adyance a single new idea. First he made the assertion that if you have free coinage of silver. you will put the country on a silver basis and would drive all gold out of the coun- try. This is not true. We have tried it once and when we quit had $3 to §1 in gold Juore than when we began. He says this conntry would be the dumping ground for all silver bullion. He is off there, for ours is the only nation under the sun which has silver bullion The speak A4 [ went on to answer every point of Mr. Carlisle’s speech to his own satisfaction. Mr, B burn then attacked the administration, saying: “I am greatly handicapped, but let Messrs. Cleveland, Carlisle and all the rest take the stump and I will make this race in spite of the whole combination.” AT A SILVER ma MEETING. Mr. Bryan Makes a Mast. o the White .m-(‘;."lly T JACKSON, Texy., May mass-meeting was beld at the Tabernacle this aiternoon, attended by 5000 people from Northern Mississippi, Western Ten- nessee and Kentucky.

Both sides are seem- ingly determined. At present the sheep are held in California Park, the source of Fortification Creek, and it is not deter- mined, it is understood, by the cattle men whether sheep will be removed into Wyo- ming now or wait until their movement decides that the sheep men will advance. S ] TROOPS READY FOR PENDER. Serious Trouble Reported at the Winne- bago Reservation. OMAHA, NEBR., May 25.—From the best information obtainable at the headquarters of the department of the Platte, the Sec- ond Regiment is held in readiness to pro- ceed at a moment’s notice to Pender to quell disturbances, which are reported to have broken out on the Winnebago Agency. | Wheelmen board denied to the representa- At a late hour to-night General Coppin- ger, commanding the Department of the Platte, states he had received no orders from Washington about the moving of the troops.

No evictions were attempted to-day or yesterday. No TUnited States troops have arrived here. e SHOT ALL 1N SIGHT. 4n Enraged Blacksmith Kills Two Men, a Horse and a Dog. WACO, Tex., May 25.—At Third and Franklin streets to-day George D. Griffice, a blacksmith, stood just within his shop and fired upon Wash Anderson and his brother, L. Anderson, who were driving by. Wash was shot through the head and killed instantly. Griffice fired three or four more shots, one fatally wounding John Lewis (colored) and seriously injuring Willie Smith (col- ored). The trouble grew out of divorce proceedings, in progress here, entered by Wash Anderson, who is Griffice’s son-in- law. A horse and dog were also killed. AT R MURDER OF DR. POPE. William Brusseau Tells of the Crime on the Witness-Stand. DETROIT, Mice.,, May —William Brusseau, the confessed murderer of Dr. Pope, was the star witness in Mrs. Pope’s trial to-day. The witness gave details of the conspiracy between the woman and himself to slay the doctor so as to get his $5000 insurance money. Brusseau says he finally agreed to kill Pope with a hatchet, and finally summoned up enough nerve to deal him the fatal blows. - Not Investigating Wheelmen. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 25.—Chair- man Gideon of the League of American tive of the Associated Press this afternoon that he was investigating Sanger, Bald, Titus or Tyler. He said he would be glad to get any information against the men if they were crooked, but if they were straight he wanted them left alone. —_— And the Preacher Escaped. GUTHRIE, 0.T., May 25.—The Rey. J. L. Smith, a country preacher, was con- victed of stealing meat at Stillwater Wednesday and sentenced to the peniten- tiary for one year.

Its Criticism of the Board of Home Missions Not Relished. Now the Session of the General Presbyterian Assembly Is Nearing a Close. PITTSBURG, Pa., May 25.—During the sessions of the Presbyterian Assemblv a pamphlet has been circulated in which Dr. Roberts of the Board of Home Missions stated that the receipts of the board had fallen off $63,000 during the month of March, 1895. After the appearance of a pamphlet in which the missionary boards were criticized for their action in purchas- ing a site in New York and erecting a building thereon at a cost of $1,750,000, Mr. McDougall of Cincinnati, the author of the pamphlet, wrote a letter to Modera- tor Booth in which he demanded that a retraction of the statement be made by Dr. Roberts. A portion of the letter was read to the assembly to-day, and the floor was given to Dr. Roberts, who began to read a paper protesting against the entry of the letter of Mr. McDougall on the minutes of the assembly, saying these allegations were based on rumor, and that they were care- lessly drawn and too sweeping in their implications, being unwise and unsup- ported by facts, A motion was made to table the matter, but the moderator ruled that there was nothing to lay on thetable, this being only a question of privilege before the house. Before this ruling there was a chorus of questions, in the midst of which Elder- George E. Sterry of New York mounted the steps of the platform. He attempted to speak, but was unable to be heard on account of the noise. The moderator in- terfered for his bexefit, using his gavel and saying in a loud voice, “You shall hear Elder Sterry.” When at last he was heard he said that Mr. McDougall had told him that the con- nection of his pamphlet with the falling off in contributions was false, since no cop- ies went out before the firstof April. Just here Dr. Roberts stepped to the front of the platform, waving a copy of the pamphlet above his head, shouting: “This was in my hands on the 25th of March.” Another commissioner had stated that he received a copy mailed from Cincinnati as T{arly as the middle of March, if not ear- ier. Governor Beaver now took a hand in the ray, moving that there be no record of generally unfit for human occupation. either letter, reply or discussion placed on the minutes of the assembly. ) This action was taken after some re- marks from the floor, and the assembly adjourned until Monday morning. The clerk informed the assembly that the pros- pects were that the final adjournment will be reached on Monday between 3 and 4 P.M. In the afternoon the assembly went for a carriage ride at the invitation of the committee on arrangements. e CAPSIZE OF THE TRILBY. A Steam Yacht Goes Down in the Ham- burg Canal. BUFFALO, N. Y., May 25.—A steam yacht bearing the name of Trilby was cap- sized in the Hamburg canal this morning, and two or three men are thought to be drowned. The accident occurred at the Michigan-street bridge, which is being re- paired. The yacht was used as a ferry to carry workmen across the canal, and to-day there was a large crowd of Polish laborers who sought conveyance to their work. They clambered aboard like a flock of sheep. The Trilby took three loads safely across, but when she returned for the fourth, the Poles made a rush for her, and all jumping together on one side, caused her to lurch, capsize and go to the bottom. For several minutes the canal was alive with the half-crazy, terrified human beings, few of whom could swim, but all of whom were struggling and clutching at each other or anything within reach. Many climbed out on the dock, but others were seen to sink and were not seen again. The canal is being dregged. It seems impossible that all escaped, and it was believed that two or three Poles are missing. Grappling continued until noon without being able to bring up any bodies. Harbor Master Soper, who superintended the work, now says that he believes that nobody was drowned. The yacht has not yet been raised. — BLOODY FEUD IN TEXAS. There Have Been Several Killings and Ten Arvests. WHARTON, TEx., May 29.—The bodies of three murdered members of the Crocker family have been found on the open Pprairie, about two miles from where the assassination occurred. The bloody work was done by a faction opposed to Crocker remaining in the country any longer. Two years ago Crocker's house was burned. Last winter Mrs. Crooker killed a man and the same day a man who shot at Crocker was killed by him. Young Crocker also killed one member of a mob. There are ten men under arrest. Oneis said to have made a full confession. el N Sibley and Warner Speak. SALT LAKE, Uran, May 25.— Hon. Joseph C. Bibley and General A. j. ‘Warner addressed an audience here to- on the silver question. THE DANVILLE LYNCHING, Would Not Give Governor Alt- geld a Chance to Pardon the Men. How the Mob of Angry Farmers Was Urged to Hang Two Prisoners. DANVILLE, IrL., May 25.—During the lynching of John Halls and William Royce, early this morning. Judge Bookwalter ad- dressed the mob. At first his words pro- duced a telling effect, but the leaders, the most prominent men in the county, re- plied: “Yes, we know a jury will convict them and give them a severe sentence, but Governor Altgeld will pardon them. ‘“He recently pardoned three brutes you sent up from Champaign County for twenty years. If any other man than Altgeld was Governor we would not lynch these men. But we are determined that he will never have a chance to turn them loose.” The mob was composed of 1000 people, mostly farmers from near Indianola, where Miss Barrett lived. In the jail, before being taken out, both the prisoners pro- tested their innocence, although identified by Miss Barrett’s companion yesterday at the jail. CHICAGO. Irr., May 25.—Touching the charge made by one of the speakers at the doublelynching at Danville, I11., last night, to the effect that the mob did not propose to allow the law to take its course because Governor Altgeld would pardon the guilty man, the Governor, who is now here, said: “This is simply the result of Republican vilificaticn, and a part of the system of the deliberate lying which has been carried on for several years. “The Republican newspaper men know therecordsin the capitol at Springfield show that 1 have fallen far below the average of pardons and commutations granted each year, while the number of prisoners have nearly doubled, and consequently the number of appiications for pardons has nearly doubled.” The Governor then proceeded to quote figures in substantiation of his statement. . OFF ON A TRIAL TRIP, First Voyage of the Giant Steamship St. ZLowis. . PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 25.—At 11:45 o’clock to-day the pioneer of the mod- ern merchant marine, the giant steamship St. Louis, cast off her hawser at Cramp'’s shipyard and started down the Delaware River on her initial ocean voyage. As the big steamer pointed her nose down the stream she was greeted by all kinds of craft in the river, the noise being simply deafening. This was continued until the 8t. Louis had passed League Island, the extreme low end of the city. The St. Louis is the largest vessel that has ever sailed down the Delaware River. She is in command of Captain William G. Randle and a crew of 400 men, who sailed away with her to-day, will take the big vessel on her initial voyage across the Atlantic. Itis expected that she will re- main at sea from four to five days and then go to New York. The coatract of the St. Louis calls for a speed of twenty knots an hour, but it is thought she will easily surpass this speed. ONLY ON HELD. Examination of Three Women for Hav- ing Counterfeit Dollars. DENVER, Coro., May 25.—The prelimi- nary hearing of Gertrude Corbett, Mamie Allen and Millie Hyland, three sisters, charged with having counterfeit dollars in their possession, occurred to-day before United States Commissioner Capron. Of the trio Mrs. Corbett thus far seems to have been the most deeply implicated, inasmuch as she had endeavored to destroy or hide the certain alleged counterfeiting machinery after the arrest of her husband. The connection of Mrs. Allen in the mat- ter thus far is rather remote, and there has been absolutely nothing to indicate that the third sister, Mrs. Hyland of Butte, Mont., knew anvthing about the matter. At the conclusion of the hearing, Mrs. Hyland and Mrs. Allen were discharged | while Mrs. Corbett was held in $500 bond. e On the Diamond.

DENVER, Coro., May 25.—Attorney E. H. Wilson, representing creditors of the Colorado Securities Company to the amount of §127,000, filed a petition in court to-day for the removal of Receiver Frank G. Patterson. The petition alleges that the appointment of Patterson was secured through false representations to the court, and that he has not managed the affairs of the company in the interest of its cred- itors. A TO PUBLIC CHARITIES, First Regular Session of the National Conference in Connecticut. Some Interesting Reports Received From Various States and Territories. NEW HAVEN, Coxx., May 25.—The first regular session of the National Con- ference of Charities and Corrections began at 9 o’clock this morning. Robert Treat Paine of Boston presided, and the meeting was devoted to hearing reports from the States. The first report was prepared by Sheldon Jackson of Bitka, Alaska, but was read by H. H. Hart, the corresponding secretary of the conference. The report dealt largely with the question of intem- perance, which prevails to an alarming extent in the Territory. John E. Coffin of Whittier, Cal., made a report from the State officia He said the State Legislature had passed a com- mendable act forbidding the sale of cigar- ettes. 5 J. H. Gabriel, secretary of the State Board of Charities of Colorado,- bore especially hard on Colorado politics and made the statement that the State is more completely subject to the spoils system than any other State in the Union. He said the work done there in aid of the poor and helpless was excellent. | This ended the reading of reports for the day and was followed by Dr. F. H. Wines of Tlinois, who read a paper on the sub- ject, “The Ideal Function of State Boards in the Economy of the Commonwealth.” Following this was a symposium on State boards, Clarence E. Snyder of the Wisconsin State Board of Control speak- ing in the affirmative. el gl & SOONERS AKE SHUT OUT. Few Applicants for the Kickapoo Lands Are Accepted. OKLAHOMA CITY, O. T., May 25.— The penalty for “soonerism’’ is being in- flicted already. Of the applicants offered at the Land Office to-day for filing only twenty-seven were accepted. The others were rejected on account of the ap- plicant having entered the Kickapoo coun- try since March 3, 1893. This is causing great excitement here and will affect the great majority of men who made the race for land. Nearly every man in this country has been across the Kickapoo Strip since that date on business or pleasure. If the Secre- tary of the Interior should uphold the action of the Land Office it will cause hun- dreds of contests.
