So now we agree that it will change the measure. Mr. Harvey says that it is what ought to be done because, he says, the whole world is in debt and our country on the brink of ruin because the present dol- lar is too valuable. That is a position in Which I differ from him. The debts of the day have all been contracted with the gold dellar as the measure, and to relieve the payment of them in any way by a trick of this kind is repudiation.”’ Mr. Harvey continued his quotations from statistics in relation to the world’s of gold and the bearing the arts ard it. “The more costly either gold or silver becomes,”” he said, “the greater the de- mand among the rich for it for use as or- naments. Where the dearer is used exclu- sively for primary money it is the one that is hoarded. When gold and silver were both used as money in their own right silyer was hoarded by the plain people and was brought forth to serve them in time of need. Gold is principally hoarded by the rich to serve a purpose in bulling the money market. Hoarding of silver by the people was beneficial; hoarding of gold is an injury. The cause of hoarding in the two instances is different. In the first in- stance it is to serve & natural law, provid- ing for the future. In the second instance it is a commercial motive, affecting injuri- ously the community. s one of the reasons why s has always proved the more stable money."” Mr. Horr referred to Mr. Harvey’s habit of comparing size as having to do with value, and stated that the amount of gold the world all put into a cube had noth- to do with how much it is worth. He v of comparing things that re not alike with each other, and when a man did that, he said, be was always in the wr “Now, there is no disguising the issue between us. It is simply this: Can we benefit the people of this republic now by making a dollar mean about haif as much as it now means? Can we benefit them by making it seem any considerable amount less than it now is by making it actually less in value? We may disguise it as much as we will, but the free coinage of silver on a ratio of 16 to 1 means silver monomietal- lism.” Mr. Harvey maintained that there wounld be a commercial parity between gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 if the law was passed putting both metals on an equal footing at that ratio. What he meant by an equal footing was that both shoula have the right to enter the mints free to be coined into money with 23.22 grains of pure gold to be a dollar and 37134 grains of pure siiver to be a dollar. The money made from both metals was to be full legal-tender money in the payment of all debts, and the debtor to have the right to pay in either metal. The supply of silver ed. When a great nation like »se normal capacity for the ab- sorption of money in the transaction of its normal business is not far from four thou- sand million dollars, opened its mints to silver it fixed the price of silver the world over. Solongas the supply of silver re- mained as it is now no one would part with it for any less than they got for it in the Unitea States. “Mr. Horr will say to this: ‘The Govern- ment does not buy the silver under free coinage. It stamps it and hands it back | to the owner worth no more than when he brought it to themint.” What the Govern- ment has done is this: It has given to sil- ver a new use and the use is what gives to it its value.” Mr. Horr closed the debate with an elo quent peroration on the revival of business, of the appeal of Cuba against oppression, of the distressing sitnation of the South American republics, and said: “We are fighting the battle of liberty for ng. the world. [Applause.] The result of your v ict upon this momentous ques- tion will be world-wide. It will convey words of cheer and stimulate the nerves of free men in every land.” ALL FOR FREE SILVER. Sweeping Victory in Missours Democratic Conventions. KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 29.—Demo- cratic conventions were held in several Missouri counties to-day to select delegates to the State convention to be held at Pertle Springs, August 6. Clinton County adopt- ed resolutions for free coinage and St. Clair the same. Saline named nine dele- gates, who were instructed in favor of free coinage. Linn required a pledge favoring free coinage from its delegates. Lafayette had a big fight over a 16 to 1 resolution, but it was finally agreed to; Clevelana was declared more arbitrary than sny heredit- ary monarch. Audrain County selected twelve deleg: 1 for free si HAE | CLEIR MDA, Conservatives Will Be Able to Defeat Any Possible Coalition. With Three Districts to Hear From They Have Nine Seats to the Good. LONDON, Exe., July 20.—With the ex- ception of the polls in three districts, the result of the general election is now known. The districts yet to be heard from are the east division of Donegal, the south division of Londonderry County, and Ork- ney and Shetland. In 1892 East Donegal returned an anti- Parnellite by a majority of 763; the south division of Londonderry County returned a Liberal-Unionist by a majority of 501, and Orkney and Shetland returned a Lib- eral by a majority of 1003. The resultsin these districts will make slight difference in the political complexion of the new House of Commons. Elections were held to-day in the first two mentioned districts, but the poll will not be declared until to- morrow. The election in Orkney and Shetland will not take place until Au- gust 6. The returns now at hand show the elec- tion of 338 Conservatives, 72 Unionists, 176 Liberals, 69 anti-Parnellites and 12 Par- nellites. Thus the Conservative-Liberal- Unionist majority, subject to the results in three districts yet to be heard from, will be 153. The Conservative majority over any coalition that can be made will be 9. The Unionists have gained 110 seats and the Liberals 20, Eiae ELECTIONS IN FRANCE. Tiots and Bloodshed Occurred in Several Districts. PARIS, Fraxce, July 29.—In the elec- tions for renewal of half the membership in the Councils General, which took place throughout France yesterday, the Repub- licans secured 530 seats and the Conserva- tives 136. Second ballots will be necessary in forty-four districts. Riots occurred in several districts, the most serious in Rou- baix, Carmaux and Barbantams, near Mar- seilles. Blood was shed freely, but no deaths were reported. FREE TO WED AGAIN Champion Corbett Will Soon Be a Single Man. VICTORY FOR THE WIFE. Referee Jacobs Decided That She Was Entitled to a Divorce. WILL GET HEAVY ALIMONY. By Stipulation She Is to Recelve One Hundred Dollars a Week. NEW YORK, N.Y,, July 29.—Referee Edward Jacobs filed his report to-day in the Superior Court in the suit brought by Mrs. Ollie Corbett against her husband, James J. Corbett, the pugilist, for absolute divorce. Referee Jacobs finds that Corbett has been guilty of improper conduct with a woman named Vera, and recommends that Mrs. Corbett be allowed $100 a week alimony during her natural life, as provided for in an agreement entered into between the plaintiff and defendant when they separa- ted during the present year. Referee Jacobs’ opinion is as follows: The parties to this controversy were married on June 28, 1886, at Salt Lake City, in the Ter- ritory of Utah, and continued to live together as husband and wife until some time during the present vear, when they separated. The complaint charges the defendant with miscon- duct with & woman and the answer denies the same. The proofs are that the defendant was re- peatedly seen in the company of & woman named Vera; that she was present with him in ths dressing-room in theaters at which he was performing; that on & journey at night from Cincinnati to St. Louis they occupied together a stateroom; that they stopped together in a hotel in Cincinnati; that the defendant repeatedly introduced Vera to members of his company end to others as his wife; that at hotels in various places &t which the defendant and his theatrical com. pany stopped the defendant and Vera were gistered as “Mr. and Mrs. Corbett,” also 2mes J. Corbett and w: Wkile it is true that a divorce should not be granted upon mere suspicion, and must be founded upon facts which demonstrate to e mind that the party charged the offense of misconduct is guilty beyond a rcasonable doubt, yet this does not necessarily mean that direct evi- dence of the fact must be proven. If the evi- dence tends to guilt it is sufficient. In the present case the links clearly form an un- broken chain. In the case of Chase vs. Chase, decided by Judge Russell in the Supreme Court, special term, April, 1892, the learned Judge says: The objection that there was no direct evi- dence of misconduct with women by the plain- tiff is not sufficient to answer the findings of the referee. It it were necessary to have ocular evidence few divorces for this cause could be obtained. The cvidence of eircum- stances may be wholly and entirely sufficient. The case at bar falls directly within the rule laid down in the cese cited. Taking into eon- sideration the facts before referred to the con- clusion is irresistible that the defendant did commit illegal acts, and it follows, consequently, that the plaintiff is entitled to the usual decree in such cases. With reference to the question of alimony, that is a matter which the parties have agreed to adjust between themselves, end this they have arighttodo. By their articles of separation entered into March last, it was agreed that the defendantshould pay to plaintiff $100 per week during her naturai life. As no proof was offered before me to show the present financial condition of the defendant, I must regard the articles of separation as binding, and I recom- mend that the alimony which the parties have themselves fixed shouid be continued. S — FIGHTERS FOR THE NAV, Two New Vessels Which Will Prove to Be Formidable Antagonists. The Maine and Texas to Be Put Into Commission During the Next Fortnight. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 28.—The commissioning of the Maine and Texas within the next fortnight will mark a new era in the development of the American navy. The two vessels will be an addition differing from those which have preceded them for the past decade and they will be- long more distinctively to the fighting class of vessels than even the New York, the coast-defense vessel Monterey or the monitors Miantonomon, Monadnock and Amphitrite, all of which are now in com- mission. The Maine is classed as an armored cruiser, while the Texas is a second-rate battleship, but the Maine could very prop- erly be piaced in the category of second- rate battleships. Her barbeites are pro- tected by 12 and her turret by 8 inches cf armor. She carries four 10-inch and six 6- inch guns, in addition toa powerful sec- ondary battery. She has a displacement of 6682 tons, 2 maximum horsepower of 9000, can steam 17 knots an_hour and will carry a crew of 370 men. In the opinion of experts she could easily whip two ves- sels like the New York, which attracted so much attention at the recent naval exhibi- tion at Kiel, while she wounld provea match for half a dozen unarmored vessels of the tyBe of the Baltimore or Philadelphia. uring the next twelve months the three vowerful battleships, Massachnsetts, Indi- ana and Oregon, will be put in commission. ‘When Mr. Tracy of New York was Secre- tary of the Navy under President Harri- son he repeatedly asserted that these bat- tlesbips, when completed, would be the finest specimens of marine architecture afloat and that they could whip the strong- est vessels of the best navies in the world. pR i GOLD IN SAN FRANCISCO BANKS.

NEW YORK, N. Y., July 29.—Rev. William Edward Beecher, a brother of the 1ate Henry Ward Beecher, died yesterday ing at his home, 182 Macon street, Brook- lyn, in his 92d year. The venerable clergyman had enjoyed good health all his life, and his death was caused by a sudden attack of stomach trouble, which began three days ago. He sank into a gradual state of coma, which continued until ten hours before his death. Rev. Beecher was the third son of the famous Dr. Lyman Beecher by his first wife, and was born at East Hampton, L. L., August 27,1803. He prepared for college under his father’s care and graduated at Yale in 1823. For four years he was a tutor of the Hartford High School and at Yale. His career as preacher began 2t the Park-street Congregationalist Church in Boston in 1826. He retired to become president of Illinois College at Jackson- ville, where he was for fourteen years. He returned to the ministry at Salem Church, Boston, in 1844 and preached subsequently at Galesburg, Ill. In 1872 he came to Brooklyn to assist Henry Ward Beecher in the editorial management of the Chris- tian Union. His widow was a Miss Jones. He leaves two sons, Rev. Fred W. of f&ngellca, N. Y., and Eugene F. of Brook- yn. FOUND A HIDDEN VAULT, Another Discovery Made Be- neath the Castle of Holmes. Iron Box Thought to Have Served a Ghastly Purpose for the Demon. Passing An CHICAGO, TuL., July 29. — The huge brick vault underneath Holmes’ charnal- house was to-day unearthed by the police, who are still delving into the earth about the celiar. The existence of this vaunlt has been theoretical until to-day. Many rumors of such a thing have been circulated, but it was not until the police discovered Machinist Chappel that they succeeded in gaining any idea of the location of the vault. When Chappel accompanied the officers through the Holmes house yester- day he indicated the location of the vault in the southwest corner of the cellar and early this morning half a dozen men were puc to work digging in the place indicated. At 4:30 o'clock the officers in charge of the work telephoned to police headquar- ters that they had reached and uncovered a long strip of the roof of the vault. Super- intendent Badenoch at once gave orders to get the ground in shape that the vault could be easily opened to-morrow and then discontinue the work for the day. The police theory is that Holmes used this vault for quickliming the bodies of his victims and getting them into such a con- dition that they could not possibly be identified, and that Chappel, the articu- lator, would not suspect that the bodies were anything more than cadavers secured at some of the medical colleges, morgues or hospitals. While the police officials are not hopeful of finding bodies of murdered people in the vauli they are at the same time hopeful of securing evidence to fully establish just what the vault was used for, and what connection, if any, the vault had with the destroyed human bodies which were carted away from the charnal-house to that of the articulator. The finding of the vault made the police much firmer in their belief that Chappel is a reliable and valuable aid to them in the work they have before them. During the forenoon there was on ex- hibition in Inspector Fitzpatrick’s private office the skeleton and the trunk that contained it, which were found through Chappel's evidence. The skeleton is that of a woman 25 years of age, and the police think that it is the remains of one of the Williams girls or Emeline Cigrand. They have not get identified the tintype photograph and the silver piece found with the skeleton, but established beyond doubt that the skeleton or half-articulated skeleton was taken in the trunk now in their possession from tie Holmes house in 1892, and that it was delivered to Chappel the articulator, by an expressman name Richardson, who was accompanied by Holmes and Quinlan. Almost every new development lands Janitor Quinlan more fairly 1n the police net, much to their satisfaction. They know he 1s unwilling to tell what he knows, and are anxious to secure enough evidence to force a confession from him in order to fasten the crimes npon Holmes securely. The skeleton en exhitition to-day was taken by Chappes irom his home to the Hahneman edical College at Thirty- fourth street and Cotiage Grove avenue, when he had cleaned and mounted the boues. Whether or not the skeletons are those of murdered people, it is definitely known that Holmes derived considerable revenue from the sale of articulated human frames to the medical college. The police to-day found a man whom, they say, admits he was employed b, Holmes to do all the queer brickworl about the mysterious house. They have heard his story, and it is of the greatest importance, but refuse to divulge the par- ticulars, They have also found a man named Curtis, who runsa small warehounse and who still has a lot of Benjamin Piet- zel’s household goods in his possession. Pietzel stored them before payin, the visit to Philadelphia whic! cost him his life. Cuartis had letters from Pietzel concerning the disposition of the furniture and the police say they will make a thorough examina- tion of Pietzel's effects to-morrow. The man Richardson,who helped haul Holmes’ cadavers, has been lost sight of and ihe police are looking for him. It is within the knowledge of the police that Janitor Quinlan is a half-accomplished brick ma- son, and that he laid some brick for Holmes at the Wilmette House. The police think he built the vaults beneath the floor of the cellar and did other brick- work about the Holmes castle at Sixty- third and Wallace streets. tidinhy il s PLACED IN AN ASYLUM. Suit Against a Couple Who Left Their Chitd to Charity. EL DORADO, Kans., July 29.—A suit has been filed in the District Court in this county by the State of New York against A. Ettensen and wife of Augusta for the sum of $5344. The cause of the action, it is claimed, is that in 1880 Mr. and Mrs. Etten- sen left their son Marcus at the Syracuse Asylum with the fraudulent design of having him cared for as a charity inmate x;'nd Eeporwd that he was a resident of New ork. Mr. Ettensen claims that the boy was taken from him at a hotel in New York by some Jnm'es unknown, and he was in- formed the boy would be cared for and that he has heard nothing from him until the suit was brought. It seems as though F. J. Joyes, a lawyer of Augusta, reported the matter and that it was through his in- stigation that the suit was brought, ety S Henry and Cheuncey Brais, young boys, were w{din'in a creck near Pn’wfdfi:{‘&, LI Chauncey pushed his brother into deep “t::i and he sank. He tried to rescue Henry, & both were drowned. ¥ OUTLAWS IN A TRAP, Zip Wyatt’s Oklahoma Gang Surrounded by Vigilantes. MADE A RUNNING FIGHT. One of the Pursuers Fatally Wounded by the Fugi- tives. OFFICERS FORCED TO FLY. A Stronger Posse Returns and Will Close in Upon the Bandits. WICHITA, Kass, July 29.—Another battle between the Zip Wyatt gang of out- laws and the vigilantes that had organized to exterminate them was fought near Par- vin, O. T., last night, and to-night the gang, numbering six men, is surrounded by over one hundred pursuers, heavily armed and well mounted, in the foothills of the Glass Mountains in the Indian Ter- ritory. The Wyatt gang has been terrorizing the Territory for months past, and when two men heavily armed, rode to the store of G. 8. Clark, at Parvin, O.T., and bought extraordinarily large quantities of ammu- nition, suspicion pointed them out as members of the gang, and a small posse was quickly formed to pursue them. They rode west, and when they had gone a mile were joined by four outlaws also heavily armed. They discovered they were being followed, and two laid in ambush in a cornfield. ‘When the pursvers rode up the bandits opened fire and George Nickerson was fatally wounded. His companions tied him into the saddle and putting spurs to their horses escaped. Deputy United States Marshal Johnson, who liveti near the scene of the shooting, mounted his horse, organized a stronger posse and again took up the pursuit of the outlaws. The horse of one of the outlaws stumbled and fell. Johnson rode up and covered him with a six-shooter, and he was brought to Parvin. He proved to be an old offender named Wolf and a brother of the man arrested last week for harbor- ing the gang. Afterward fifty of the vigilantes came suddenly upon the outlaws in the center of a cornfield, and, though the bandits es- caped, seven horses, most of their ammu- nition and part of their clothing were cap- tured. Word was sent to Hennessey for re-enforcements, and to-day United States Marshal Banks, with a posse, and Detec- tive Fossett of the Rock Island Raiiroad set out for the scene. A courier brought the news that the band is surrounded by the vigilantes, who will close in upon them in the morning. Some of the outlaws are barefooted, and one is isbadly wounded. Nickerson, the wounded vigilante, is sinking fast, a 44-caliber ball having passed through his lungs. DENVER BANK' FAILURE, The Union National Forced to Close Its Doors to Business. Trouble Caused by Contention Over Deposits of County ~ Funds. DENVER, Coro., July 29.—Simultan- eously with the closing of the County Treasurer’s office at 10 o’clock this morn- ing the Unon National Bank suspended. There has been much contention of late among several of the banks, which claimed they were not receiving a fair proportion of the county’s deposits. This contention culminated a few days ago in the with- drawal of several prominent bankers of this city from Treasurer Wygant’s'bond. Mr. Wygant this morning submitted to the County Commissioners the names of substitute bondsmen, which were fejected, and the office of County Treasurer was de- clared to be vacant. Cashier C. L. Mec- Intosh of the Bank of Commerce, one of Mr. Wygant’s bondsmen, said: “Myself and associate bondsmen with- drew from Treasurer Wygant’s bond be- cause we no longer felt safe in remaining. We felt satisfied that the banks with whom he was doing business could better act as his sureties than ourselves. The unfavor- able statement of July 11, made by the Union National, cam({a large amount of withdrawal of accounts and brought about the failure. The failure, however, was not unexpected by the other banks, as the bank was intending to liquidate in the near future. Iam satisfied the Union Na- tional Bank will pay every dollar of its in- debtedness.” Cashier J. B. Lazar of the Union National Bank said that the assignment of the bank was due to the suit for a receiver for the State and the refusal of the clearing-house this morning to lend the bank .$100,000. Mr. Lazar declares that the bank will pay every dollar it owes, and the depositors need have no fear. Bank Examiner Z. T. Hill is now in con- trol of the Union Bank affairs. Closed a Treasurer’s Office. DENVER, Coro., July 29.—The County Treasurer’s office was closed this morning. Bankers Moffatt and McIntosh, with ex- Governor Cooper, have withdrawn from Treasurer Wygant’s bond for a half million dollars. New bondsmen were offered, but refused. Irregularities in the office are feared, and there are many sensational stories afloat. st fia LYNCHERS IN INDIANA, Two Incendiary Robbers Hanged by a Mob of Citizens. JEFFERSONVILLE, Isp., July 29.— Advices received by telephone from Alton, Crawford County, are to the effect that two men were arrested with the aid of bloodhounds to-day for the robbery of the residence of John Kemp, a wealthy farmer, and then firing it to conceal their crime, nearly cremating his entire family. An infuriated mob of neighbors who were following the hounds seized the prisoners and lynched them. Two of the party returned to the city late this afternoon, but absolutely refuse to give any information as to the disposition of the prisoners. The fact that the officers have not returned with the prisoners to place them in jail gives certamty to the story that they were lynched.” Several depredations in that vicinity lately have caused the residents to swear vengeance on the perpetrators if captured. At |Riot in a Saloon, OSKALOOSA, Towa, July 29.—Nathan Jones was killed in a brawl in a low resort Bunday evening. Jonmes was a negro. With four white companions he went to Gilmore’s saloon, and they got into a row with the bartender after getting drunk. They tried to clean out the place. John Eicht, the bartender, drew a gun and shot Jones through the heart. A riot followed, and Eicht shot William Kirkman in the right shoulder and was shot himself in the left foot. Eicht escaped, but was captured about midnight. He pleads self-defense. S R WEDDED A WEALTHY WIDOW 4ctor Horace Daly United to @ Woman of Seventy. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 29.—“The Ro- mance of a Poor Young Man’’ is a play in which Horace Daly, a young actor who was at one time a nfember of Kendal's theatrical company, gnight well take the principal part. Like many other bright men in his profession Daly, who is only 28 years old, is not the possessor of great wealth, but as the result of ‘“‘an affair of the heart” he is to-day the husband of a lady who owns real estate enough to place her far from want. The wedding in which he took the part of leading man occurred last week, the bride and leading lady being Mrs. Jane M. Mortimer, whose age is reported to be not far from 70. She is the widow of Jonn Mortimer, who died several years ago leav- ing her a four-story brownstone residence at 326 West Thirty-second street and other property. Itisherethat the happy couple are now living. 5 . Daly isan Englishman, whose home is in London, where he has wealthy rela- tives, from whom, however, he hears but seldom. He came to New York about three years ago and appeared in the com- any of Annie Pixley before he joined the endals. About one year ago he began boarding at 326 West Thirty-second street, which was at that time and is now being conducted as a boarding-house by Mrs. Schumacher, who rents the premisés from Mrs. Mortimer. It was there and then that he first met the widow. The actor was assiduous in his attentions, but pressed his suit in a most decorous and respectful manner. She finally gave her consent, and last week the couple were married. WON BY A SMALL MARGIN, The Defender Almost Beaten in a Race With the Vigilant. Crossed the Line So Close To- gether That the Result Was in Doubt. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 20.—The mem- bers of the New York Yacht Club to-day inaugurated their fifty-first annual cruise by holding some special races for prizes offered by Commodore Brown, off Glen Cove. The finish line was off Huntington, L. I. While the races for the commodore’s cups resulted in some splendid contests between the schooners and smaller sloops they were entirely lost sight of in the magnificent struggle between the De- fender and Vigilant. It was won by such a narrow margin that some of the mem- bers of the New York Yacht Club are ask- ing each other if the cup is safe. In a twenty-five miles race to-day, about equally divided between running, reaching and windward work in a rather light air, the Defender just managed to beat the Vigilant by 1 minute and 40 seconds, actual time. As neither boat has been measured, it is not known just what the Defender wins by, if she wins atall. Some, how- ever, say the Defender is a winner by a narrow margin. Be this as it may, the Vigilant sailed a great race and was splen- didly handled throughout. NI s R T COLLISION NEAR VALPARAISO. A Terrible Disaster Nearly Caused by a Drunken Captain. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasu., July 20.— Private advices brought from Chile to-day by a sailing vessel gives the first intelli- gence of a narrow escape from a violent death of President Gcorge Montt in an accident, which all but resulted seriously. The Chilean cruiser Captain Pratt was cruising about the entrance to Valparaiso harbor, having aboard as a special guest the President of the Republic. The vessel was in the act of executing some intricate maneuvers. The work of the ship was well under way when' the enormous coal-carrying steamer Isadora Consino, one of " the largest merchantmen carrying the Chilean flag, came into sight. Sugpos'mg the lat ter vessel would keep out of the wnr. the cruiser continued her maneuvers, until it wasappa- rent something was wrong aboard the mer- chantman, which seemed to be trying to collide with the warship. Despite the ef- forts of the captain and crew of the Pratt to keep away from the intruder the two vessels came into collision. The only thing that prevented a serious accident and an enormous loss of life was the fact that the collier was light and both vessels were under half steam. Later, when the two vessels returned to Valparaiso, an investigation proved that the captain of the collier was drunk and intended giving evolutions himself when the crash came, materially damaging both vessels. His license was revoked and an- other captain was placed in command under the special order of the President. S GARDINER BEATS BALD. Well-Contested Events at the Mansfield Cyoling Meet.

Sanger gave Tyler a hard ride in the mile bi- cycle open, lapping his wheel at the finish. In the mile handicap Patrick O’Connor, 70 vards, won by an inch from Tyler, who started from the scratch.
