(&) \ THE SAN ‘FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1895. WORDS OF WARNING. Mr. Gladstone Talked at a Pro-Armenian Meeting. RESPONSIBLE FOR CRIME. An Earnest Arraignment of the Government of Turkey and Its Agents. PROPOSALS OF THE EX-PREMIER The Grand Old Man Forcibly Sets Forth the Stern Duty of the Powers. LONDON, E~G., Aug. 6.—A pro-Arme- nian meeting, presided over by the Duke of Westminster, was held at Chester this afternoo: Mr. was gia the Armenian que eve gerthan he spoke upon the he ac ed his h s to @ d forming a premn re judgment, but evidence was forthcoming which showed that unspeaka- ble crimes were committed in Armeniaday after day which were far beyond the out- ragesin Sassoun in horror. The acts of violence committed, Mr. Gladstone de- clared, may be truthfully summed up in the four awful words—plunder, murder, assault and torture. The Government at Constantinople and its agents were, he asserted, responsible for the crimes, d it was necessary that the responsibility for their acts should be brought home to them. Mr. Gladstone continued thatas America had no political interest in the Levant her witnesses were doubly entitled to credit. The treaty of 1856, he said, gave the powers the right to march into Armenia and take the government out of the hands of Tur- key, and under the treaty of 1878 the Sul- tan was bound to carry out reforms. The ex-Premier made three proposals: First, that the demands of the powers should be moderate; second, that no prom- ises of Turkish authorities should be ac- cepted, and third, that the powers should not fear the word *‘eoercion.” “We have reached a critical position,” said Mr. Gladstone in conclusion, ‘“and the honor of the powers is pledged to the institution of reforms in Arme; A resolution was then proposed, express- ing the conviction that the Government would have the support of the entire nation in any measures it might adopt to secure in Armenia reforms guaranteeing to the inhabitants safety of life, honor, reli- gion and property; and that no reforms can be effected that are not placed under the continuous control of the great powers of Europe. The resolution was seconded by the Rev. Canon Malcolm Macoll and was adopted. A letter from Lord Salisbury, the Prime Minister, was read, acknowledging the donation by the Duke of Westminster of £1000 to the Armenian relief fund, and givi Sir Philip Wodehouse Currie, the British Embassador at Constantinople, full discretion as to how it shall be distrib- uted. dstone was present, and said he d to leapn that the sentiment on stion in America was country.

MARSHALLTOWY, Towa, Aug. 6.—The Prospect is for the hottest sort of a fight over the financial question in the Demo- cratic State Convention, which meets here to-morrow. The free-silver element devel- oped unexpected strength this afternoon. The leaders demand a free<coinage plank and will pot talk of compromise. The sound-money men have given up hope of keeping the contest out of the convention, and both sides are waiting for the final test of strength. The free-coinage delegates who were here held a caucus fhisaftérnoon. Sam B. Evans of Ottumwa presided. About 200 were present. Radical addresses were made by Colonel C. H. Mackey of Sigour- ney, E. M. Carr of Manchester and others. Colonel Mackey declared that the Cleve- land hirelings wearing Wall-street collars were attempting to dominate the conven- tiom and that they were assisted by the corporation interests of the State. Mr. Carr, in the course of his address, said: “Our forefathers fought and bled for commercial freedom. We will, if neces- sary, fightand bleed for financial freedom.” Others said that the Democratic party would better bedead than to longer remain, untrue to the interests of the common people. The caucus determined to make a fight to securea free-silver man for permanent chairman. E. M. Carr was selected to pre- sent the demands of the silver element on the flcor. He will not insist upon a men- tion of tne ratio of 16 to 1, but will accept nothing less than a declaration in favor of the restoration of silver to its position prior to the demonetization act of 1873. The sound money leaders also held a caucus this afternoon. They selected can- didates to be supported by the sound- money men for places on the committee on resolutions, and also arranged for an organization of their forces. They can- vassed the subject of candidates, and agreed that the following would be accept- able: Governor, W. 1. Babb_of Mount Pleasant, if he will accept; Lieutenant- Governor, William Groneweg of Council Bluffs; State Superintendent, L. B. Per- shall of Maquoketa; Railroad Commis- sioner, C. E. Whiting or L. E. Bishon; Supreme Judge, T. G. Harper, L. L. De- lano or E. E. Hasner, all of whom are can- didate: The ZpoZ/zha;?ZE “THE QUEEN OF TABLE WATERS.” Iver men have not discussed candi- Received the HIGHEST AWARD at the WORLD'S FAIR, and at the | ANTWERP EXHIBITION, , dates, They claim to be assured of the votes of 600 delegates of the 1053 in the convention. Their opponents concede them 300. The convention will meet at 11 o'clock in the Odeon Opera-house, with Nathaniel French of Davenport, a sound- mohey man, for temporary chairman. Nearly full delegations are promised. ALL WILL BE UNITED. Senator Gorman Predicts a Victory for the Democrats. BALTIMORE. Mp., Aug. 6.—Senator Gorman visited the State Democratic head- quarters to-day and expressed his views on different matters with a freedom that was very unusnal. In regard to the ticket nominated last Wednesday, Mr. Gorman said: “There is less objection raised than I expected. In politics some people must be disappointed, but the party in the end will get together and win, as usual. Ihave no fear whatever as to the result in No- vember. Long before that time all real Democrats will be united for the common cause.” THE SILVER DEMOCRATS. Large Attendance of the Convention in Texas. FORT WORTH, Tex., Aug. 6.—The State Democratic Free Silver Convention was called to order to-day, and the attend- ance was a considerable surprise to those who had predicted a small attendance. About 1000 delegates responded when Hon. A. C. Owsley of Denton called for order. Hon. Bryan T. Barry of Dallas was made temporary chairman. Committees were appointed on resolutions, permanent or- ganization and basis of representation. Ex-Senator Reagan was invited to address the convention in the afternoon. The sensation of the forenoon session was created by a motion that a comvlete list of delegates be made out in order to give the lie to those newspapers that had been saying that the free-silver conven- tions were made up chiefly of Republicans, negroes and Populists, with a'slight sprink- ling of Democrats. The afternoon was almost entirely taken up with speech- making, Senator Reagan making the lead- ing speech of the day. The committees on resolutions and platform could not come to an agreement. Letters were read from Senators Morgan of Alabama and Jones of Arkansas, and a telegram from R. P. Bland, chairman of the D2mocratic silver convention of Mis- souri, in session at Pertle Springs. The convention then adjourned until 8:30 p. M. At the night session resolutions were passed declaring in favor of free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, independent of inter- national agreement, and condemning the financial policy of the present administra- tion. Mississippi Democrats. JACKSON, Miss., Aug. 6.—It is esti- mated that there are 1000 strangers in Jackson to-night and that as many more will come to-morrow to attend the Demo- cratie State convention. There is some discussion as to who will be made chair- man and several names have been sug- gested, but that most generally heard is ex-Congressman Stockdal MRS: GRDIER IS FOUD The Missing Christian Endeav- orer Teaching School in a Town. No Longer Any Fear That the Dele~ gate Met With Foul Play. BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 6.—The missing Christian Endeavor delegate, Mrs. Anna M. Gardner of Arcadia, Nebr., has been located and is teaching school in a Con- necticut town. The case of Mrs. Gardner was a strange one. She came to Boston as a delegate to the Christian Endeavor convention from Arcadia, Nebr., and stayed with friends while the convention wasin session. When her husband received a letter from her on July 15 stating that she was about to die he was greatly surprised, asshe had always been healthy and he had heard nothing of any illness contracted in Boston. This letter was quickly followed by another, signed J. Brown of South Boston, in which the husband was informed that his wife had died and that her body had been buried in Boston. Gardner was not satisfied with the con- dition of things and started an investiga- tion. He found that there was no record in Boston of the death of Mrs. Gardner. He could not find J. Brown, whose name was signed to the letter announcing his wife’s death, but he found a young woman postal clerk who remembered the mailing of the John Brown letter, and said that it was mailed by a woman answering Mrs. Gardner’s description. It was feared that Mrs. Gardner might have been the victim of foul play, as she was known to have considerable money and jewelry in her possession, and the lice force worked hard to solve the prob- lem of her disappearance, with the result that she has been found peacefully teach- ing school in Connecticut Ry CUTTING COAL RATES. Anthracite Mine-Owners to Take Matters in Their Own Hands. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 6.—The Morn- ing Journal says: Asa result of daily in- creasing demoralization in coal rates caused by the coal-carrying roads, the in- dividual anthracite operators have decided to take matrers in their own hands. Yes- terday it was announced that they will at once place 1,000,000 tons of anthracite on the market at $2 a ton, unless prompt ac- tion is taken by the coal roads to restore prices and to limii the output. The Central Railroad of New Jersey, the Philadeliphia_and Reading, the Susque- hanna and Western, and the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western have been bizmed for the trouble. The individual operators have addressed themselves par- ticularly to these lines at any rate, and now they await the outcome. "A tew days will tell the story. Rumorsof a coal presi- dents’ meeting were heard yesterday, but could not be confirmed. e Will Not Insure Cleveland. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 7.—A Wash- ington special to the Morning Journal says that a report is current here which says that President Cleveland has been rejected by a life insurance company which had subjected him to a physical examination with a view to insuring hiun for alarge sum. The name of the company hasnot yet been ascertained nor has the specifin cause of the company’s rejection of the President been stated. All of the Pres- ident’s friends who have been seen since midnight have declared their ignorance of the matter. R Counterfeit Siiver Dollars, CROWN POINT, IxNp., Aug. 6.—It is es- timated by the secret service men that at least five thousand counterfeit silver dollars bearing date of “1885” and *1879” have been set afloat in this country. The coins are so perfect that one bank cashier took in fifteen of them in one day before he de- tected the error. Peter Hoffman was ar- rested this morning on the charge of pass- ing the coins. He confessed that he pur- chased them for fifty cents each, HORR VERSUS HARVEY Recapitulation of the Points Made in Their Speeches. “COIN’S” PURE FICTION. That Is What the Editor Says About the Author’s Book. ARGUMENTS AND EVIDENCE, Keenest of All Is the Assertlon That the New Yorker Is Ighor- ant of Bilmetallism. CHICAGO, IvrL., Aug. 5.—In accordance with the agreement entered into by the silverand gold debaters, Messrs. Horr and Harvey, governing their recent contest in this city, each was to prepare a recapitula- tion of the points made in their respective arguments not exceeding 2500 woras each, and to complete the same within a week from the close of the contest. This has been done, and in substance the summary of Roswell G. Horr is as follows: “Mr. Harvey admits that the book is pure fiction. He repudiates its motto by declaring that it does not mean what it says. His statement that primary money only is the measure of value he has not even attempted to sustain, though his proof has been called for repeatedly. His statement that the people of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries were in the most degraded condition of serfdom and slavery on account of the lack of metal- lic money has been completely de- molished. Mr. Harvey next based his case upon the assumption that the law of 1873 was a crime, and stated that it had its origin in fraud and its birth through briberv and corruption. He introduced no evidence in support of either proposi- tion, and he stands convicted of making every one of those charges without any proof that would be received in any ordi- nary court of justice. “If Congress was bribed to pass a bad bill, then the bill must first have passedin bad shape. Now, if that be true, then there would be no need of a clerk to do the dirty work. Ifit was done by the enrol- ling clerk, then it folows that Congress passed the bill as it ought to have been, and consequently they would not have done what he says they were bribed to do. If Congress passed the bill all right and the enrolling clerk enrolled it correctly, then the bribery could apply only to the members of the conference committee. All these villainies are then abandoned when he claims that the whole thing was accomplished by means of ‘a substitute bill.” “Mr. Harvey’s statement that free coin- age creates unlimited demand is not true, because there can be an unlimited demand for no human productions. Mr. Harvey fails entirely to prove that the use of one metal as the measure of value isan ex- periment. He utterly failed to show a fall in the price of a single article which is not fully accounted for by cheaper cost of pro- duction, improved transportation or in- creased supply. He misled people by par- tial statements which led to false conclu- sions. The civilized world is clearly on my side of this issue.” Mr. Harvey, in summarizing the debate, says: “It is settled that the proposition that gold and silver are the money of the con- stitution. Mr. Horr did not controvert this. The silver dollar was the unit of value in our coinage system, fixed by the act of 1792. Mr. Horr admits this. Silver and gold were the measures of value of all other property until 1873, and the debtor had a right to pay in either metal. The act of 1873 was surreptitiously passed. For all time of which we have any knowledge gold and silver were treated equally as money, until 1816, when England closed her mints to sil- ver, and in 1873-74, when the United States, Germany, France and the Latin Union followed suit. The prices of all property are now measgured in gold alone, and are substantially one-half what they would be under the bimetallic system. I have made good all the propositions set forth in my opening statement. Mr. Horr found no errors in my book except the statement that the silver coined prior to 1873 was $105,000,000, instead of $143,000,000. Mr. Horr shows that he does not yet know what bimetallism is. Mr. Horr, in his rejoinder said: “Mr. Harvey took two days to discuss a erime which never existed and had no time to defend many errors in his book repeatedly pointed out and whieh he promised to ex- plain later. He now tells what wonders he would have done had he not been driven from bhis essays, which he calls his ‘regular order.” In this summary he goes out of his way to vilify this afternoon this court, the only honorable body in the United B8tates which he had not slandered in his part of the debate. Nowhere has he show the advisability of this Nation freely coining silver at 16 to1, nor can he do it. His summary, like his debate, attempts to disparage honest industry and solvence. The whole system clearly aims at the de- struction of law, individual development and cocial order, if need be, through rev- olution. I have shown that Mr. Harvey is devoting his life to deceiving the peo- ple.” Mr. Harvey, in reply, declared that he made no statement as to the condition of the people in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, reading only a statement from the report of the monetary commission of 1876 to show what the preface in the “‘school” was quoted from. *Mr. Horr,” he concluded, *is exceedingly mixed as to the order in which I presented the crime of 1873. 1did not claim that any one was bribed.” AGAINST FREE COINAGE. Senator Burrows Spoke Before a Big As- sen blage in Michigan, PETOSKY, Micn., Aug. 6. — United States Senator Julius C. Burrows spoke against the free and unlimited coinage of silver to-day at Bay View to an audience of 5000 persons. Senator Burrows began by reviewing the monetary system of the United States, and said whatever of just criticism our present financial system may provoke, it is a matter of pride and congratulation that in all this vast volume of cur- rency. there is no one dollar inferior to any other dollar in its purchasing and debt-paying power, but all are maintained at a parity and all as good as the best money of any nation on the face of the globe. He denied that silver is demone- tized, He then described what was meant by free and unlimited coinage of silver. Gold would be expelled from circulation together with every bit of paper redeem- able in gold, and a panic the like of which has not been seen in the generation would result. ““Coins of unequal vaiue cannot be made to circulate side by side, but the cheaper will invariably drive the dearer into re- tirement,” the speaker said. “The one thing that makes the silver dollar on a par with gold to-day is because the Govern- ment treats them the same as gold, and the belief that the Government can at all times maintain them on the equality with gold. Under free coinage there would be no such restraint. Relieve the Government of the responsibility of maintaining the silver -dollar thus issued at a parity with gold, and every dollar coined would at once sink to its commer- cial value and pe worth no more than the market value of the bullion it contained.” In conclusion Senator Burrows said: “I would not have it inferred that I am qp- posed to the use of silver in our monetary system. Iam a thorough bimetallist, be- lieving in the use of both gold and silver, maintaining at all times the equality of all our dollars whether paper or coin. Our present system is bimetallism in practice and not in theory.” DONE BY DESPERADOES. Crimes Committed by Buck and Pals in Indian Territory. MUSCOGEE, I. T.,, Aug. 6.— Frank Buck, the young bandit leader who in com- pany with three others of his gang last week murdered Deputy Marshal Garrett at Okmulgee, has added more fiendish ¢rimes to his list. On Sunday he and a pal were riding along the highway west of the cen- tral part of the Nation when he met a white man and his daughter traveling in a wagon. Buck ordered the girl out of the wagon, and threatened to kill them both if she did not. She got out, and in sight of her father Buck and his pal assaulted her, On Sunday evening the desperadoes met Benton Callahan, a stockman and a mem- ber of one of the leading families of the Nation, in a pasture about twenty miles southwest of here. A negro boy was with Callanan. The bandits robbed them and compelled them to unsaddle their horses and then required them to mount the horses bareback. They told them to run or they would kill them. Callahan and the negro began running for their life. They were shot at repeatedly, one ball grazing Callahan’s head, another went through his ear, and passed through the boy’s body, killing him. - ITWO BROTHERS SHOT DEAD. Jealousy Caused a Tragedy at a Church Meeting. BATON ROUGE, La., Aug. 6.—A trag- edy occurred Saturday night at Antioch church, about fifteen miles from here. ¥or some time bad feeling existed between Hill Picou and Albert O’Neal of that neighbor- hood. It 1s said a young woman was the cause. Saturday night Albert O'Neal and his brother Henry attended church at An- tioch, where a protracted meeting is being held. Hill Picou and his brother Wallace also went there. All the parties went to church heavily armed. During the services the O’Neal brothers left the church. As they reached the open air they met the Picous. Almost instantly there was a sound of three shots and the O'Neal brothers fell dead. The Picous were not wounded. TOCONTESTTHE LASTWILL Heirs of the Duchess of Cas- tellucia Dissatisfied With the Bequests. e The Third Husband and Other Relatives Anxious for a Slice of the Big Estate. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 6.—The fu- neral service over the Duchess of Castel- lucia was conducted at the Burlington yes- terday afternoon by Rev. William J. Dono- van of St. Leo’s Catholic Church. Only relatives were present. The remains were taken to Greenwood. By the Duchess’ will, which was drawn last spring, at which time a former will made during the lifetime of the Duke was destroyed, W. Corte was named sole executor. The bulk of theyg;orop- erty, which approximates $1,500,000 in value, is left to the son, Frederick Beals, and the daughter, Mrs. Richard A. Hudnut. There are small requests to her granddaughter, the Marchesa Ungaro, who for the past two years has lived at the Bur- lington with her grandmother, and is at vresent suing for a divorce from her Italian husband, whose family ndme is Calderazzi. A few thousand dollors is also to be distributed among the children of the Duchess’ deceased eldest ter, Emily, who married an American named Sim- monds. One of the grandchildren said yesterday that the will will be contested. No specific mention is made in the will of the Bur- lington Hotel or of the Duchess’ valuable jewels. No mention is made of her third hus- band, Edward L. Dwyer, to whom she was married last spring at her Indian River orange grove in Florida, when she was 73 years old. Dwyer was not st the funeral. Dwyer was born in 1858 in Torrington, Conn. His parents were farmers in moderate circumstances who raised leaf tobacco. At an early age he went to Mexieo and fell in with Father, now Archbishop, Gillow, who took a fancy to the lad and ve him a home on his ranch. Years after- ward Dwyer drifted to Chicago and be- came known as a successful grain operator. In 1879 he joined what was known as the American “deputation, a body of eighty capitalists and speculators, who went to Mexico and opened up the Santa Rija mines at Nieves, near Zacatecas. Dwyer was_instrumental in securing English capital to the amount of £47, for this enterprise and at first made much money, but was finaily frozen out by his colleagues and returned to Chicago in straitened cir- cumstances. For a time he sold machinery for a wholesale house. Then he resumed pro- moting, and he purchased for an English syndicate a tract of land at the mouth of the Columbia River, about 120 miles from Portland, Or. It was while on a business trip for this syndicate that Dwyer met the Duchess, who was nearly forty years his senior. 1t is said that the Dnchess gave him for a wedding present the celebrated Dix Island quarries, near Bar Harbor, Me., which were left her by her first husband, Horace Beals. Dwyer was admitied to St. Vincent’s Hospital on West Eleventh street (1);1 I.Zuly 3, last, and left the hospital on the 2th. When seen Jast evening at his residence, Lawyer Hardy refused to make any state- ment about his client’s intentions as to groceedings to_attack the Duchess’ will, ut a friend of Dwyer's says that proceed- | of V ings will be entered in Dwyer’s interest as soon as the will is offered for probate.
