2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1895. VIEWS OF SHERMAN, Stated at the Republican Convention of Ohio. OLD ISSUES AGAIN MET, All Products, Says the Senator, Should Receive Equal Protection. FAVORS A SOUND CURRENCY, But Thinks Gold and Silver Are Both Indispensable for Man~ kind’s Wants. ZANESVILLE, Onio, May 28.—The Re- publican State Convention was called to order here to-day promptly at4 ». M. by Colonel Joseph C. Bonner, chairman of the State committee. A half hour previous the hall was packed to its full capacity of 5000 and many were unable to gain admit- tance. Senator Sherman was given a stir- ation when he was escorted into 3:50 by Congressman Van Voor- g ger. Ex-Secretary Fos- ter, the members of Congress, several can- didates and others were cheered as they entered. Among the working delegates were Herman (. Denison, son of the war Governor, and Harry Garfield, son of the murdered President. While Chairman Bonner, who is a'mem- ber of McKinley’s staff, was eloquently congratulating the Republicans on the re- sult of the last Ohio election and forecast- ing another triumph for next November in his introductory speech, ex-Governor Foraker entered the hall and a very boisterous demonstration followed his ap- pearance. After Chairman Bonner had made repeated efforts to secure order and proceed with his introductory remarks ex- Govern ker came to the front of the platform Gentlemen of th e Convention: I hope you will not an disturb the deliberations of the convention. There will be time for us all to be heard before we leave Zanesville. [More shouting than previously.] Itisa good town to stay over night in, and we will stay just as long as our business may require. At the proper time, when that will be in order, I will be very glad indeed to exchange greetings h you, but I beg for the present that you let the chairman of the Central Commit- tee proceed with his speech in order to expe- dite the business of the convention. [Great applause.] Even after this appeal it was with great difficulty that Colonel Bonner concluded his remarks and introduced Senator John the temporary chairman. 1an met the demonstration at first with the remark that be hoped to see the Republ of Ohio keep up such” a pitch of enthusiasm till the next Novem- ber election. The ¢ tor soon com- manded the closest tion and spoke as follows: Gentlemen of the Convention: I thank you for the honor you have conferred upon me in selecting me to preside over this convention. You have met to designate the next Governor of the State of Ohio. You have & good many candidates before you, but each of them is worthy of the highest honor which you can confer. You have the assurance that whoever you may nominate wiil have the hearty sup- port of all the candidates and of each member of the convention. You have also to select several of the chief executive officers of this State. Ineed notimpress upon you the impor- tance of selecting thos@ who will honestly and faithfully perform the duties assigned them. You have a still higher duty, to announce the principles and policy of the Repub- wi lican party in the State of Ohio and in the Unitea States. What you will say here will have an {important influence be- yond the limits of your State, for the intelli- gent action of the Republicans of Ohio will, as in the past, indicate the opinions of Repub- licans in all parts of the United States. We have a common faith and creed. We act to- gether on great matters on principle, on small matters for disciphne. The primary and fundamental sentiment of the Republican party is love for our country, our whole coun- try. Weere for the Union, oneand indivisible, now and forever. The Republicans of Ohio are Dot provincial, but national. This 1s our cornerstone, planted in the first Republican convention in Ohio in 1855. We stood by itir the storms of the war when Lin- coln was our standard-bearer. Our soldiers fought for it under Grant, Sherman and Sheri- dan. The soldiers of Ohio carried our flag in every great battle of the war for the preserva- tion of the Union. Other patrioticcitizensand soldiers were equally deserving of honor and praise, but they could not arry their party with them. When Grant was in the Wilger- xess and Sherman before Atlanta, & great party declared the war a failure. Ours made it a success. When the war weas over we did not treat our enemies as conquered subjects, but as erring brothers. We in- vited them back into the Union with una- bridged powers, prescribing only one condition; that there should be no slaves in our country. We now meet them &nd gréet them as friends. Turning our back on dead issues, we congratu- late them on thelr prosperity, which they did not end could not have in their condition prior to the war. When the war was over the Republican par- ty developed its civil policy. Firstof all it de- clared its purpose to pay every debt or obliga- tion contracted during or since the war, that the public faith should be unblemished. In spite of the temptation and the shrieks of Pop- ulists we have discharged every obligation con- tracted during the war, and especially the highest and most sacred debt to the surviving soldiers of the war, their widows and orphans. The pension roll is a roll of honor, higher in amount than any pension roll ever provided by ey nation. While the Republican party is in powerit will only be diminished by the death of pensioners, a fate that awaits us all. We are in favor of a protective tariff. We had such a tariff. While it was in force we had prosperity, good times and money in plenty. We had so diversified our domestic in- dustries that American labor and American capital supplied nearlyall the wantsof the American people. We prefer to tax foreign production rather than our own. We believe that the policy ot protection should be ex- tended to all productions impartially; to labor on the farm as well &s in the workshops. We' ere opposed 1o the Democratic poliey of pro- tecting woolen manufactures und admitting ‘wool iree of duty. We denounce & scheme of taxation which annually increases the public debt more than $50,000,000. This is the re- sult of Democratic ascendency. The tariff law of the last Congress is partly a copy of the Mc- Kinley law, and generally a failure. All that 1s good of it was taken from the MeKin- ley tariff, and, the rest of it is con- fessedly a hotchpotch. The Bupreme Court has already disposed of part of it. All the productions of the South, from peanuts to whisky, are carefully protected, while the du- ties on the great staple industries of the North are largely reduced, and on some articles, like ‘wool, are entirely repealed. ‘Wejdemand a re- form in the tariff, not to promote sectional in- terests, but to secure ample revenue and im- pertiel protection to domestic industry. This Wwe can have only by the election of & Republi- can President. We want a change, and for this change we will have the hearty support of & large portion of the Democratic party. We are in favor of a sound National currency elways redeemable in coin, All forms of money should be of equal purchesing power. For fourteen years after the resumption of specie payments, while the Republican party was in power, we had sucha currency. We had gold, silver and paper money, all bearing the stamp and sanction of the United States, of un- questioned credit and of equal value, passing current not only within the United States, but in all parts of the commercial world. Both gold and silver are indiepensable for use in the various wants of mankind. Gold is now and has been for ages the chief measure of value in international commerce, and the larger transactions of domestic exchanges. Silver, from its bulk and weight, is not availa- ble for large payments either at home or abroad, but it is indispensable for the minor wanis of markind. Gold, from its greatly superior value, cannot be utilized for such purposes. Therefore it is that both metals have been coined into money at a fixed ratio. The enormous increase in production of silver in the United States, Mexico and Australia has disturbed this ratio and has jowered the mar- ket value of silver precisely as a like increase of production has lowered the price of other commodities. Itisa universal law thet price or value is measured by quantity. Under these conditions the rational and proper course would be a change of ratio, but this can only be effected &s to these t¥vo metals by a concert of action among commercial n tions. Until this can be accomplished the only logical way is for each nation to coin both metals and maintain the coinage of the cheaper metal at par by limitation of the amount and redemption when in excess of the demand for it. Such is now the policy of the United States and of every great commercial nation, including every country in Europe. Other nations adopt the silver standard alone, not from choice, but from poverty. I believe that the policy of the United States adopted in 1853 of coining fractional silver coins in lim- ited quantities from silver bullion purchased at the market price and making them legal tender for small sums is the only way to pre- serve the parity ofgold and silver ata fixed ratio. This is properly called bimetallic money. I hope and believe that the common interest of commercial nations will lead them, through an international commission, to either adopt & ratio based on merket value of the metals or to coin them and maintain them, as we do, at their present ratio. The policy now urged by the producers of silver and by men who wish to pay their debts in cheaper money than they promised to pay is the free coinage of silver. This means the single standard of silver and the demonetiza- | tion of gold. This is the only monometallic system. It is the degradation of our dollar to 50 cents. If applied to our National bonds it is & repudiation of one-half of the public debt. Itis the repudiation of one-half of all debts. 1t coufers no favors on producers of any kind, whether of the farm, the workshop or the mine, for if they get nominally more dollars for their productions their additional dollar would have only one-half the purchasing power of the gold dollar. The great hardship of this policy would fall upon workingmen, skilled or unskilled, whose deily wage, meas- ured by the presentstandard, is higher than in any other country of the world. Their wages will purchase more of the necessities of life than the wages paid for similar labor anywhere out- side of the United States. It is & faise pre- tense that the cheapening of money will be beneficial to them. The Republican party in its National plat- form of 1892 demended good money of equal purehasing power, whether coined of gold or silver or composed of United States notes and National bank notes, based on the eredit of the United States, meintained at par with coin. This is the bimetallic policy. There we stand to-day. Ihope and trust there we will stand forever. We will seek the co-operation of all nations and of all parties in maintaining the parity of gold and silver coins. If they will not co-operate with us in this policy the Re- | publican party can and, I hope, will do it alone. Good money and plenty of itis as im- portant to all our people as equality of rights and privileges. Let us hope then, with & firm reliance on the principles, policy and wisdom of the great party to which we belong, nominate our can- didate and declare our platform, and then make our appeal to the intelligence of the peo- ple of Ohio. In all the great issues made in the last forty years the Republican party of Ohio has had the courage to propose and to do what isright. Let us now foilow in the same path- way, and we will not only elect a Republican Governor and State officers, but also another Republican Senator,and, I hope,a President of the United States from the State of Ohio. At the conclusion of the Senator's speech the twelve Congressional districts were called for members of the committees and other positions and it was found that there were bitter contests for seats, espe- cially in the Toledo and Springfield dis- tricts, A committee on resolutions was appointed and afterward organized, with ex-Secretary Charles Foster as chairman. The convention then adjourned to 8 . . On reassembling the temporary organi- zation was made permanent. The con- tested delegations from the Toledo and Springfield districts were not unseated. With a corresponding number of speeches the following names were presented to the convention for the nomination of Gov- ernor: J. W. Barger, J. Warren Kiefer, J. H. Hoyt, George W. Nash, Robert M. Nevin, A. L. Harris and E. W. Poe. General Bushnell’s name was not pre- sented by any speaker. There were 827 delegates in the convention, 414 being necessary to a choice. The first ballot re- sulted as follows: Bushwnell 58, Barzer 86, Harris 55, Hoyt 17614, Kieter 74, Nash 168, Nevyin 60, Poe 14614. Chairman S8herman announced there was no nomination. The second ballot: Bush- nell 83, Barger 83, Harris 44, Hoyt 16914, Kiefer 63, Nash 16914, Nevin 81, Poe 133. The third ballot resuited: Bushneil 159, Barger 86, Harris 27, Hoyt 165, Kiefer 4014, Nash 19934, Nevin 78, Poe 64. At the end of this ballot the name of E. W. Poe was with@rawn. The fourth ballot resulted: Bushnell 347, Barger 32, Harris 26, Hoyt 148, Kiefer 16, Nash 257. Bushnell lacks only sixty-seven votes of the nomina- tion. The fifth ballot resulted as foliows: Bushnell 410, Harris 5, Hoyt 120, Kiefer 12, Nash 279. On the sixth ballot General Asa A. Bush- nell was nominated, receiving 509 votes, Nash 201, Hoyt 11; necessary for a choice, 419. President Woodmanze, Secretary Miller and other officers of the Republican League ot Ohio, together with ex-Governor For- aker, who were sitting on the stage at the time, telegraphed their congratnlations to General Bushneil at his home in Spring- field. The Clark County delegation, from Bushnell’s home, stood out for General Kiefer until the last ballot, when it gave each half of its vote. The result of the nomination was received as a great victory for Foraker. The resolutions adopted declare as fol- lows: First—We reaffirm our adherence to the principles of the Republican party as defined by the national convention in 1892, chief among which are: A protective tarift which, Testoring American wages and American pro- ducts, shall prove the highest interests of American laborers and American develop- ment, while providing sdequate revenue for the uses of the Gqvernment; reciproeity, ‘which, while seeking and gaining the world’s market for our surplus products, shall not lower or destroy American wagy nor sur- render our own markets to foreign commodi- ties which can be produced at home. Fair elections, based upon a free ballot and an honest count, the safeguard of American in- stitutions, the true source of public authority. Honest money, consisting of goid, silver and paper, every dollar as good as any other dol- lar, and all backed by the National faith and honor. We favor bimetallism and demand the use of both gold and silyer as standard money, either in accordance with a ratio to be fixed by an international agreement, if that can be obtained, or under such restriction and such provisions to be determined by legislation as will secure the mafntenance of the parity of values of the two metals, 5o that the purchas- ing ana debt-paying vower of the dollar, whether of silver, gold or paper, shall be at all times equal. Second—We denounce the present Demo- cratic administration, whose vacillating course has brought us distress at home and humiliation abroad. It has inaugurated a policy looking toward ultimate free trade, which has deranged business, crippled our in- dustries, distressed our homes and dealt labor a serious blow. With deplorable incompe- tency it has failed to receive revenue enough to run the Government, and had to borrow, in less than two years, $162,000,000, msinly to pay ordinary running expenses, and selling in secret to favor foreign syndicates the bonds of the Govgrnment at prices fur below their actual value. It haslowered the flagin Hawaiiin an un-American attempt to overthrow a republic and restore a monarchy, and, with unpatriotic indifference, has suffered British troopsto land in Nicaragua in contemptuous disregard of the Monroe doctrine. By these and similar acts our country, second in power and dignity to none, has suffered a loss of respect throughout the world. We denounce the free wool provision of the present tariff act as an unjust discrimination againstan important industry,and demand such protection for sheep husbandry as will secure fair prices for American wool. We de- nounce the present administration of the Pen- sion Bureau for its betrayal of the interests of the Union soldiers, and we pledge anew to veterans of the Republic a watchful care and recognition of their just claims upon & grate- fut people, We indorse the able, honest and business- like administration of Governor McKinley. Be- lieving the proposed Nicaragua canal is needed for commercial extension and National de- fense, and that it ought to be constructed and operated by the Government of the United States or under its protection, we commend this project 1o our representatives in Congress. The election of a Republican Legislature in this State next November will enable Ohio to send to the United States Senate a Republican coileague to that grand old statesman, John Sherman. For this homorable place in the upper house of the United States Congress the Republicans of the State have but one candi- date, ana we, their representatives here assem- bled, give voice to that sentiment in naming and recommending as their choice for that position that grand soldier, peerless orator and patriotic statesman, Joseph B. Foraker. The people of Ohio are proud of the charac- ter and carcer of their distinguished friend and citizen, William McKinley. A pure, patri- otic, unselfish life of public service has en- desred him to the Republicans of the Nation and justly won him a place among the few chosen by popularacclaim for high station and great leadership. Believing him to possessin an eminent degree those rare qualities of broad, wide and patriotic statesmanship which not only fit him for victorious leadership in a great campaign, but for a successful adminis- tration after election, we present William Me- Kinley to the Republicans of the Nation as & candidate for the nomination for ®resident in 1896, and we pledge him the absolute and un- swerving support of Ohio in the National con- vention. We have heard with great sorrow of the sud- den and untimely death of the Hon.W.Q. Gresham, and we extend to his bereaved fam- ily our sympathy and condolence. Other resolutions, referring wholly to State matters, were adopted. At midnight the convention adjourned until to-morrow at 9 A. . “SOUND” MONEY CAMPAIGN. Edmunds and Trenholm Make Speeches at Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 28.—The opening gun of the sound money cam- paign in the East was fircd to-night at an enthusiastic public meeting in the Acad- emy of Music. The affair was under the management of a group of the best-known financial and business men of the country. George B. Roberts, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, was chairman. The principal speakers of the evening were ex-United States Senator George F. Edmunds, ex-Comptroller of Currency William L. Trenholm, Congress- man Michael D. Harter of Ohio, ex-Min- ister to Russia Charles Emery Smith and James Wharton. In the beginning Mr. Edmunds said the sound money guestion must be decided by political action, not party action, but that kind of action the Romans used to speak of when no man was for party, but all for the state. Quoting Thomas Jefferson’s words, “The whole art of government consists in the art of being honest,” he said; That phrase is worthy to be written in letters of gold and placed in front of every public edifice in every hamlet on the continent. Ina careful report prepared for the benefit of the first Congress Jefferson saild that the question of the difference between the value of gold and silver as money was purely a commercial question. It did not depend on legislation or the fancy and tastes of man, but on commerces which regulates the price of commodities. The speaker then discussed the variation in value of the two metals, saying: It any faith can be put in human experlence it ought to teach us that we cannot make a giv- en amount of silver worth any more when it is printed at the mint with the stamp of the United States than it was before. When the act of 1873 was passed to stop silver coinage all the principal countries of Europe were coming to have a single standard, gold. If the last Congress had passed on March 3, the last day of its session, what is now vo- ciferously demanded by the free coinage people every owner and producer of silver bullion would take his ounce of silver to the mint, worth 63.04 cents and get $1 29.29, and having got more than two silver dollars for his ounce of eilver.he would come to the workingmen to whom he owes for labor and say: “Ii I bought it in metal it would have taken ten pounds, but I have taken the bene- fit of the United States’ offer and had it stamped and you must take five pounds off it.” Ex-Comptroller Trenholm, during his remarks, declared it would be found that the issue now confronting us has become serious only because the two political parties have at one time or another, and on one plea and another, courted the sup- port of those whe entertained, or affected to entertain the idea, that the coinage of silver dollars is so essential to the welfare and happiness of the people of the United States that all other political questions should be subordinated to it. HAS THE R1GHT RING. Sound Platform Adopted by the Republi- cans of Colorado. DENVER, Coro., May 28.—The State League of Republican Clubs met here to- day, electing full delegations to the Na- tional League meeting at Cleveland. A red-hot fight occurred over the resolutions, a minority favoring instructions to the Colorado delegates to bolt unless the con- vention came out unequivocally for free coinage of silver at 16 to 1. The resolu- tions finally passed to instruct the delega- tion to work for such action by the Na- tional convention. The platform adopted is worded in the strongest expressions. High tariff against all countries refusing to adopt a bimetallic money standard is urged. Another plank says there is nov a square inch of room for the anarchist, so- cialist or nihilist or any one not willing to swear allegiance to this country. DEMOCRATS OF TEXAS. The Exeowgive Committee Equally Di- vided on the Silver Question. DALLAS, Tex., May 28.—Mr. McInniss of Bryan arrived to-day, making a quorum of the State Democratic Committee. Chair- man Dudley called the committee to order with eight gold and eight silver men on hand and fifteen members of the commit- tee abeent. Chairman Dudley therefore held the balance of power. Mr. Ware introduced a resolution that the financial question, so far as the Demo- crats of Texas ‘are concerned, be referred to a separate State National convention of delegates choseh by vrimaries of the peo- ple, said primaries and State convention not to be held earlier than 189. Several delegates wished to make the date indefinite, to be left to the future dis- cretion of the State committee, the appar- ent idea being to hold primaries and a State convention during 1895. Mr. Mosely, who had seconded Mr. Ware's original motion, objected to any amendment that would bring about pri- maries or a State convention earlier than 1896. The free-silver question, including these motions, was then referred to a com- mittee of five, Mr. Hill and Mr. Barefoot, for the silver men, and Ware and Walker, gold men, with Chairman Dudley as the fifth member. At 12:30 this committee went to work. The committee reported in favor of Mr. Ware’s original motion, with the exception that the date was left ‘blank for the holding of primaries and a State convention on the finance question,. the State committee to use its discretion as to 1895 or 1896. GOLD STANDARD DEFENSE. ZLondon Bankers and Merchants Form an Association. LONDON, May 28.—At a meeting of the leading city bankers and mercnants, held at the banking-house of Glynn, Mills, Curry & Co., it was decided to form a gold standard defense association, and Bertram Currie, the chairman of the meeting, was elected president’of the new association. The following address was then for- warded to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir William Harcourt: We, merchants and bankers of this city, de- sire to address you with reference to the dis- cussion which has taken place in Parliament on the question of currency. But we are con- strained to state that we view with grave ap- prehension any change in the system of the currency which has prevailed without in- terruption in this country since 1816. We believe any serious attempt to modify it by the adoption of silver as a standard of value, either alone or concurrently with gold, will be followed by consequences dangerous to the trade and commerce of the country, and, further, if 1t were possible that such a measure should not only become & law, but be made effective in practice or should be- come & law without_growing effective in prac- tice, it would disturb contracts, tnjure credit, check enterprise and thus prove disastrous to both capitalists and wage-earners, The signatures to the above address in- clude the names of Brown, Shipley & Co., Frunling & Goschen, Morton, Rose & Co., Rallie Brothers, Charles Rapael & Co., Barclay, Bevan & Tritton, Benson Bou- viere & Co., Currier & Co., Roberts, Lub- bock & Co., Schroder & Currie, and the di- rectors of the National and Provincial Bank of England, the London and County Bank, the London and Westminster Bank of England, the Union Bank of London, Lloyd Bank, Parr's Banking Company and the Alliance Bank, Martin’s Bank, the Union Discount Company, and the Bank of New South Wales. The Chancellor of the Exchequer sent the following reply to the address: I concur entirely in the opinion that the experience of well nigh a century has proved that the present system of currency is suited to the wants of this great commercial country and that to depart therefrom would be disastrous to the trade and credit of the United Kingdom. You may rely upon tt that her Majesty’s Government will not give countenance to any change in the fundamental principles of our monetary system, nor in any discussion in which they may be called to take part will they admit any doubt of their intention to firmly adhere to the single gold standard. HAS SYMAPATHY OB DEBS, Action of the Amalgamated Association on the Decision. Laboring Men View With Alarm the Supreme Court’s Ruling. CLEVELAND, Omro, May 28.—The Amalgamated Association to-day adopted the following resolutions: WHEREAS, The Supreme Court of the United States has just handed down its opinion in the case of Eugene V. Debs, the language of which opinion states in terms that cannot be Misun- derstood the Supreme Court’s approval of the use of the weapon of issuing injunctions against labor in strikes, and thus the issuing of injunctions further encouraged and the peo- ple’s rights further endangered; therefore be it Resolved, That we, in convention assembled, do view with alarm the unnecessary and un- justifiable curtailment of our liberties that is being done by injunction; we regard it as the means through which it is sought to steal and take away from the people by piecemeal rights that a liberty-loving public would not permit direct legislation to interfere with, thus 0aking it the more repugnant because of its pretended innocence. Resolved, That we regret this latest and most far-reaching decision on mnjunctions, and that we believe the time has come when the united forces of labor should lend all their energy to the correction of this evil—an evil that if per- mitted to go on and continually increase, as seems probable, must inevitably bring about the enslavement of the masses. % Resolved, That our sympathy goes out to Eugene V. Debs, and that we regard the denial of his petition by the Supreme Court as a de- nial of a simple justice. OFFERS TO SURRENDER. Debs and Associates Ready to Return to Jail. CHICAGO, ILvL, May 28.—Eugene V. Debs, president of the A. R. U., called on the United States Marshal to-day and an- nounced that in view of the decision of the United States Supreme Court deny- ing him a writ of habeas corpus, he was ready to resume serving out his sentence in the jail at Wheaton. The marshal said he had not received amandate of court for Debs’ reincarcer- ation and did not expect it inside of a week. Debs contemplatesa trip through North Dakota and gave a schedule of his itinerary. ““ 1 have written to all of the officers out of the city,” said Mr. Debs, ** and it is our purpose to come in a body and surrender ourselves and go back to our pleasant quarters at Woodstock Jail.” AT e TRAGEDY AMONG NEGROES. Jealousy Causes Several Murders and a Suicide in Texas. CAMERON, Texas, May 28.—A tragedy was enacted on the farm of George Growl, fourteen miles from here, this morning. Jeff Lewis shot and killed Espy Smith and her husband, Will Smith, and shot and probably fatally wounded Lucy Smith and her daughter Emma, after which he committed suicide. Espy and Will Smith had only been married yesterday and it is thought jealousy on the pari of Lewis caused him to do the killing. All parties are colored. san il A Toledo Factory Destroyed. TOLEDO, Osro, May 28.—Roth & Fried- man’s knitting factory was destroyed by fire. Loss on building, $40,000; on ma- chinery and stock, $125,000; insurance, E 2 e —— An Insane Mother's Act.

BURSTING OF A BOILER. Over One Hundred Per- sons Perish in the Waves. EIGHTY EMIGRANTS ARE LOST. Two Hundred Additional Passengers Were to Have Embarked at Carillo. CADIZ, Spaiy, May 28.—The French steamer Dom Pedro, bound for Carillo, Spain, has been wrecked off Corrubedo. The disaster was caused by the bursting of a boiler. About 100 lives were lost. The Dom Pedro was a 3000-ton steamer and was engaged in running between Havreand the Argentine Republic, calling at Bordeaux, France, and carried freight and passengers. The latter were mostly emi- grants bound for the Argentine Republic or other points in South America. On her return trips the Dom Pedro was generally loaded with frozen meat. She left Havre May 20 with a crew of forty- nine all told and eighty passengers. At Carillo the steamer was to have embarked 200 additional passengers, but on the way to that port she ran on a rock at 6:40 P. M. off Cape Corrubedo, on the west coast of Galicia. The boilers exploded, the vessel foundering immediately afterward. It is now stated that only the captain and twenty-six of the crew were saved, which would indicate that all the passen- gers were either killed by the explosion or drowned when the vessel went down. MADRID, Spaix, May 28.—Later details of the wreck of the French passenger steamer Dom Pedro are being secured with difficulty. The number who have perished in the disaster is now ascertained to be 103, and only 38 were saved. The survivors have taken refuge in the little town of Villagarcia. The rocks of Cobos, near Corrubedo, upon which the vessel struck, are a rongh headland which forms the northern limit of the bay of Arosa. The gunboat McMahon has been sent to the scene. Not @ Government Victory. ROME, Irtavry, May 28.—The opposition papers refuse to acknowledge the victory of the Government in the recent elections. The Italia, commenting on the result, says: “The Ministers have not obtained the result expected.” B As to Norway and Sweden.

Heinmin GROVER Executive Mansion, May 28, 1895, —— 4 WILD BULL OPENING, There Is Another Great Flw CHICAGO, I ol » ILL, May 28, —Wheat haq a wild bull opening to-day, and within five rTY in the minutes from the time of the bell it was selling 2 cents higher than the price at which it closed yesterday. Inside of an- other five minutes it had lost 1} of the ain. & The news was all of a bullish character. Yesterday’s low barometer in the North- west had resulted only in a light shower here and there,and the cold wave was being followed by what promised to be a scorching one. Perhaps the most bullish piece of news, however, was the report of King & Co. of Toledo. They summar- ized the advices from over 4000 correspond- ents in the wheat belt by saying that the indications were that in six principal wheat-producing States not more thpn half an average crop can be raised, in- volving a reduction of 1,100,000 bushels in the crop aggregate for the year.

WEAPONS A Desperate Battle Between Cowboys on a Colorado Ranch. All of the Men Who Participated In the Melee Receive Serious Wounds. DENVER, CoLo., May 28.—A special to the News from Wolcott, Colo., puts rather a different aspect upon the reported battle near there Sunday. Instead of growing out of the hatred between the cattlemen and the sheepmen, it now appears to have been simply a row among some cowboys. The dispatch is as follows: The fight originated in a cow camp on the Sheep Horn, about twenty-tive miles from Wollott, where a branding round-up has been in progress the last few days. Sunday morning, when some un- pleasant remarks were passed between Harvey Dice and Jack Mather, which resulted in a battle with quirts, Mather was knocked down several times. Tom Dice, who came to the assist- ance of his brother, was met by J. E. Wins- low and they also engaged in the mill. In turn Alexander Winslow came to the aid of his father. In the fight all the men sustained ter- rible cuts. It is claimed that Tom Dice did all the cutting. He also received a severe knife wound. The physician in at- tendance anticipates no fatalities unless unfavorable conditions develop. e R To Be Voluntarily Dissolved. NEW YORK, N.
