Political division alonecre- #tes an obstacle to unity of purpose and har- mony of action between them. The duty of ¢ patriot is to remove this obstacle, so far me it can be, by honorable concessions and reasonable sacrifices. These do not contem- plate even the thought of merging our party | er or the slightest impairment of | y; but, alone, for the sake of humanity, and to avert, if possible, the dis- ssters which the supremacy of the money power now so menacingly forebodes, to secure the union of good citizeus who think alike upon the important issues of financial reform, in tehalf of the election of a President who in spiritis antagonistic to none of the funda- mental prineiples of our party, has openly en- gaged in the most sturdy advocacy of our chiefest measures. Measures must be gained or defeated through men. After all the chief problem in thiscrisis is to find a 'man upon whom patriots can unite; whose life is witness that, if intrusted with authority over National legislation snd its enforcement, he will defy every allurement of wealth and every menace of power, stand- ing unflinchingly by the cause of the people in the fierce struggle inseparably connected its effi swallowed upin the greed and cruelty of the money kings. For twenty years he has beena commanding figure in the Nation's life, a Cabi- net officer and Senator of the United States. Nominally a Republican, he has many times openly defied his party when its members sought to make it an instrumentof injustice and oppression. “For twenty years he has stood as a bulwark against the tyrannical encroachments of the National banks; he has never hesitated to declare that they should be deprived of ail authority to issae money and to control its volume; he is an unflinching advocate of the duty of the Government to maintain and ex- ercise exclusively for the people the sovereign power of emitting all money—gold, silver and paper. He holds that to issue bonds in time of peace is a stupendous wrong to the people and the country. “When to this official record areunited an unsullied private life, a character without blot or stain, a grateful and generous nature, & patriotism that knows neither State nor sec- tion, we feel we are but performing a duty to our beloved country in thus calling attention to Mr. Teller’s merits and availability as & candidate for President, as one upon whom all Populists may consistently unite, while they strenuously preserve and strengthen their or- | ganization. ““The necessity and wisdom of a dispassion- ate consideration of his claims upon the sup- port of the American people have become the more apparent since the patriotic Republican leaders who abandoned their party under his inspiration have announced him as their nominee for President of the United States. “We beg our fellow Populists to calmly con- sider the suggestions we have made. It1isour fervent hope that the patriotism of our mo- tives will, in their judement, justify the course of communication we have taken. Letus sll %0 act tha, if in the wisdom of an inscrutable providence the union which we may tender and of which our suffering country stands in such trying need, may not be affected, we can at least declare in the presence of God and our that we did our duty as patriots and of failure does not lie at our door.” Indiana. , Colorado.

RENO, NEv., June 20.—The central com- mittee of the Silver party of Nevada met here this afternoon and completed its labors at 6 o’clock this evening. Chairman James H. Kinkead called the fifteen mem- bers present to order. It was evidentfrom the outset that the committee was at sea as to what it should do. Political changes were coming so thick and fast that it wanted to avoid future complications. The committee decided to make no dec- laration of principles at this iime, and passed a resolution inviting the Populist party of Nevada to a fusion with the silver party at the State Convention. Senator John P. Jones, Senator William M. Stew- art and Francis G. Nswlands were chosen | delegates at large to the St. Louis Conven- tion. The following were also selected, making fifteen in all: W. H. A. Pike, J. B. Tolley, Thomas Wren, M. S. Bonnifield, George S. Nixon, James F. Dennis, A. 8. Thompson, W. J. Westerfield, S. P. Davi J. G. McCarthy, M. Sheeline and William Burke.

CHICAGO, Irn, June 20.—Hon. A. B. Campbell of Idaho, one of the silver dele- gates at large from that State who bolted the St. Louis convention, and whose sig- nature was attached to the National dec- laration of the seceders issued from St. Louis yesterday, was in this city to-day. He said nothing would be done by the | element to which he had attached himseli to secure an indorsement of Senator Teller as a Presidential candidafe at the hands of the Democratic National Convention. In all consistency, be said, they could not seek Democratic support &s such. While they had withdrawn irom the Republican party on the financial issue, yet they did not desire nor intend to be placed in ihe position of going over to the silver Demo- crats. S e Silver Tones From Ohio, TOLEDO, Or10,June 30.—Five counties in Northwestern Ohio to-day elected delegates to the Democratic State Convention to be beld in Columbus next week. Four of | them—Beneca, Henry, Auglaize and Han- cock — instructed for silver. Sandusky County adopted no resolutions, but the delegates are for silver. Advocates of the gold standard here say that the State con- vention will declare for silver by two to one. BANCER WICKDFF DEA Head of the New Amsterdam Bank Succumbs to His Wounds. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 20.—George H. Wyckoff, president of*the New Amster- dam Bank, who was shot Monday by George H. Semple, died at the New York hospital to-day. His condition took a turn for the worse in the hot spell yester- day ana he passed a very bad nizht. His wife and family were with him when he died. President Wyckoff was born in New York fifty-seven years ago. He was the son of Jacob H. Wyckoff, vice-president of the New York Savings Bank. He was successively clerk, paying teller, receiver and cashier in the New York County Na- tional Bank. He became vice-president of the Deerfield National Bank in 1879and in May, 1805, was elected president of the Bank of New Amsterdam. Mr. Wyckoff's assailant, Semple, died the day after the shooting. The affair took place in the president’s office shortly after noon Monday. A stranger calling himself Clark presented a note demanding $6000, and on Mr. Wyckoff's refusal to pay it shot him and then himself. Railing at His Domestic Arrogance and Foreign Blunders. KRUGER’'S LATEST MOVE. Parliament Dare Not Ignore the Demand That Rhodes Be Tried. PLIGHT OF A TORY MAJORITY. Unable to Pass the Education Bill Over a Numerically Weak Opposition. {Copyright 1896 by the New York Times.] LONDON, Ex~6G., June 20.—Although Parliament as an institution is a good | many hundred years old in England its capacity for novelty is by no means ex- hausted. We are witnessing something now at Westminster which no one hasever seen beiore—that is, the spectacle of a party with 150 majority quite unable to pass its principal measure. Those who say frankly that the education bill is dead are probably nearest the truth. The pro- longed and anxious Cabinet councils and the personal conferences -among groups of Ministers which have been held all the week are going on still with a view to finding something to tell the party on Monday which will not bea confession of | blank hopelessness; but it is not likely | that they will succeed. In most other pariiamentary countriesa majority is always primarily a majority, | and it behaves as such. In England | alone can you find a majority of immense | dimensions, armed with the powerful and sufficient weapon of closure and with | no opposition worth considering, which suddenly stops on the path it has marked | out to follow, meditates, gets nervous, ex- | amines ita conscience fearfully and finally turns tail in a panic of 1ts own creation, trampling on its leaders and abandoning its party baggage in undignified, unintelligi- ble flight. That is how the situation reveals itself to the superficial view. A closer examina- tion, however, shows something more and | better. It shows that Englishmen are reallv governed by reason, and that not even a majority of 150, bound together by | perhaps the strongest disciplinary ties that any modern British party has known, | can be dragooned into passing a bill which, upon reflection, it sees would be bad for the country. That is the true explanation of what has happened. Itisalso true of course that Balfour has proved himself altogether un- equal to the task of managing this huge Tory majority. No one wants him to re- tire, because he is such a nice fellow, but everybody sees and admits that he is a grievous failure. There is much less di- vision of opinion about his uncle, Lord | Salisbury, of whom the rank and file of the party are bitterly sick, and for whom, in the bargain, they personally have no affec- tion. His foreign performances and his do- mestic statesmanship are alike incompre- hensible to them and they fiercely blame his bigot son, Lord Cranborn, for having loaded the education bill with impossible masses of sacerdotal and sectarian dead weights. The Cecil family stock, in other words, is down very low in Tory estima- tion. It was easy to foresee, as these dis- patches did last autumn, that something like this breakdown would occur. It is not so easy to guess now from day to day what shape events will take. Chamber- iain is moving cautiously about in the ob- scurity of the Unionists’ welter, feeling his way to secure profit for himself out of the disaster. There is an indefinite feel- ing that next week he will assert himself somehow and drag the party out of its mess. He has hated the education bill from the beginning and its collapse leaves him quite unscathed. If he were not just the man he is this crisis might bring him to the top with an irresistible rush, but being what he is no one quite trusts him. Possibly things might take shape so that the Tories would consent to follow him for a litile while as they did Disraeli, but he lacks ths genius which enabled Disraeli to convert that reluctant assent .into fervent loyalty. Obviousiy next week is also to be a Transvaal week. This interminable issue alternately fades out of sight and then bursts flaming upon the vision with the calculated regularity of a planet. In some respects this new formal demand from Pretoria for the immediate trial of Rhodes, Beit and Harris is the most serious phase which the whole business has yet as- sumed. Because of the form in which the demand is put it is very difficult for the British not to tell Kruger to mind his own business, but they know very well that he is really in the right, and half of them— perhaps many more than half—will say so. It is all an extremely delicate and difficuit question which the English, who are deeply ashamed of the part they are made to play in it, would gladly have kept quiet till it was settled by silent press of time; but these implacable, dogmatic Calvinists of Dutchmen may keep holding it up and rubbing the nose of the British lion with it until, as I have always feared from the outset, irritation gets the better of honor here, and then the Englishman will kick the Boer to pieces. The English papers know a good deal more about America than they used to, and the press comments here on the St. Louis Convention are quite conventionally correct, though not especially interesting, inasmuch as the London editors rarely read anything except the National from our sfde. Their opinion of McKinley 1s not high, but tbgy do not seem to be afraid of him, as might have been ex- pected. The dear old Daily News, in its cable dispatch, achieved one very charac- teristie blunder. It announced that “for Vice-President Mr. George has been elected,”” and added that he is “a Hobart of New Jersey."” ‘What *a Hobart'" is, or how their Jer- sey kind differs from others, the News did not explain. A letter was written to the editor, ingeniously begging information on this point, but it failed to get into type. There have been numerous shipwrecks with far greater loss of life within the last dozen years, but the tragedy of the Drum- mond Castle seems to have made a pecu- liarly vivid and somber impression on the public mind. Everybody has been think- ing so much about South Africa of late that this fatal break in the chain of com- ‘municatior with the Cape becomes, in imagination, a part of the general unhap- piness which England is getting out of Africa. Editorial comment here was dis- posed at first to be very harsh on Captain Pierce, but to-day’s papers contain a num- ber of protests from old Biscay experts, NEW TO-DAY—CLOTHIN! who agree that the currents off Ushant defy all science and zealous care. Several correspondents narrate from their own experience the unsuspected drift of a ves- sal thirty or forty miles out of her course in a single night, which in thick weather makes the rounding of that dangerous corner an absolute lottery. Aitention is also called to an ancient local belief that there is some powerful mineral or otlier influence in the submerged rocks off Ushant which throws the compass all wrong. This universal conviction among seafaring Bretons has been treated for centuries as a superstition, but now the disposition is to wonder if there is not something in it. Some sensation has been caused in Aus- tria by the news that the Archduke Otto has been summoned to Vienna from his garrison duties in Hungary, and that he is to be installed in the Auggarten Palace as visible heir to the crown. No one is much surprised at the fact that this ar- rangement passes over Otto’s elder brother, Franz Ferdinand, because he is known to be an incurable invalid, but the formal elevation of Otto to this high place forces some very ugly mutterings into | prominence. He is well known to be a | stupid, ignorant blackguard, whose gross conduct toward his wife and toward the decencies of civilization has before now angered his imperial brother to the point of personally thrashing him with a stick. Polite chroniclers pretend now to believe that residence in Vienna and the sense of responsibility will educate Otto into a val- uable personage, but everybody knows that this is arrant nonsense, and the private assumption is that Otto’s nine- year-old son, Charles Francis, is really to be the heir. The German papers are expending for them an unprecedented amount of space on the visit of Li Hung Chang to Berlin. The court set the example by giving him an official reception, which could not have been exceeded for the Emperor of China bimself, and he is treated in every respect like a royal personage. This is made sig- nificant by the fact that Marshal Yama- gata, chancing to come to Berlin at the same time, was barely noticed by the offi- X cials and hurried to quit Germany in con- scquence. The Liberal journals quarrel with this as a foolish blunder, but the Government press prints excited columns about China’s greatness and magnificence and of the part which Germany is des- tined to play in her development. It is said that Li is not only giving big crders in Germany for warships, arms and | the like, but that he has arranged for well- | picked German officers to go out at large salaries to completely reorganize and | train the Chinese army. The English | have not given up hope. however, that | [/OU when Li comes here and sees the vast shipping yards of the Tyneside and the | Clyde he will conclude to have the new | Chinese navy built here instead. Yesterday afternoon the nuisance of | women crowding upon the riverside ter- | i Suwits. | race of the House of Commons at the tea | hour reached a point where everybody | | admitted that it was intolerable, and it seems very likely that action will be taken next week to put a summary stop to the {abuse. The fashion is of quite recent growth. I remember when only an occa- sional American lady, in being shown over | the House, ever yielded to the suggestion of having tea on the terrace. Gradually a few of the more adventurous among British females followed this trans- Atlantic example, but for years they remained few. Then suddenly it became the mode of the smart set, and the num- bers rose to the neighborhood of a hundred. Now, this year, especially since the dis- | cussion about the employment of wait- resses has advertised the thing, literally thousands of women who long to be thought smart swarm upon the House every bright day, lay siege to members for | admission and crowd, not only the terrace, | | but ite approaches and the outer lobbies, | till it is impossible for the officials of the House to move about. The feeling is at last almost general in the House that an end must be put to the folly in some way, although probably many of those who protest most vigorously would shrink from publicly voting to stop the custom.

Since the rather extraordinary incident occurred of Catholic seamen belonging to the British Mediterranean squadron being received at the Vatican by the Pope in | their uniform, the alarm at the previously suspected Catholic movement inside the Anglican church has been spreading swiftly. One hears of Protestant parties organizing in varlous parts of England for the purpose of imposing an anti-Romish pledge upon Parliamentary candidates in the future, and all sorts of rumors are cir- culating about a secret understanding be- tween Rome and a large section of the Anglican clergy. Lots of ritualistic priests have been wearing birettas for a long time instead of the old collegiate mortar-boards, but now it is said that the biretta is being taken up by numbers of the younger clergymen hitherto not prominent in the ritualistic movement. It will not be sur- prising if soor. tbere is an organized “no Popery'’ agitation throughout the country. The Yale men are all well and bloom- ing. They are watched with attention by crowds of experts in their practice at Hen- ley. The first impression of the English poating men was altogether unfayorable, but this is changing, I hear, upon closer ob- servation, and public opinion is preparing itself for a close, hard race, though I find no Englishmen who think that Yale is going to win. The Trinity Hall men, who expect to win the victory themselves, say that the Yale boat goes very fast when the oars are in the water. but loses way when they are in the air. First details of the recent French census show some unexpected results. Generally speaking, the big towns have ceased to grow at the expense of the country, but the Mediterranean ports have gained enor- mously, to the prejudice of all the other seaboard places. Bordeaux, Havre, Cher- bourg and Dunkirk have been practically stationary, while Nantes, Brest and Calais exhibit serious losses. This is accounted for by protection, which has crippled French trade with the civilized European States and with Amer- ica, while Marseilles and Toulon have in- creased by 20 per cent because they are the gates through which all the new French colonial energy is poured, ana they profit by the expeditions to Asia, Africa and Madagascar which the repub- lic is continunally sending forth. The fact that all this activity costs France money. whereas the now diminished trade of the Atulantic and channel ports used to bring in money, apreals to a few thoughtful statesmen and economists, but they can- not get the French public to listen to them. It is estimated that in another five years Marseilles will have displaced Lyons s the second city of the country. Harorp FREDERIC. AM'S VICTIMS.

VANCOUVER. WasH., June 20.—John Burns, Hattie Burns and William Wilkins were arrested here last night by Constable William Smith for passing counterfeit coins. These, in company with another party who has so far not been apprehend- ed are known to have passed counterfeit dollars, half-dollars and quarters at sev- eral places in town, and are supposed to have made the coins themselves. A MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE, William Gottlieb Shoots Him- self in the Head Last Evening The Death-Inflicting Revolver Missing and in All Probability It Was Stolen. Another mysterious snicide—mysterious owing to the fact that the revolver which sent a oullet crashing through the brain of the suicide, William Gottlieb, cannot be found—occurred last evening in Golden Gate Park. Just at dusk, as Park Policeman Kinney was crossing & thickly wooded patch of ground near the conservatory, he noticed Gottlieb’s body. He immediately notified the Coroner's office and Deputy Coroners Hallet and Smith drove to the scene and conveyed the remains to the Morgue. A thorough search of the ground near the body was made, but no pistol could be found. A ragged hole in his right temple was sufficient evidence that a revolver bullet had caused death. To account for the weapon being missing the officials suggest that some person hearing the shot hurried to the scene of the lonely tragedy and, finding the body, robbed 1t of ail valuables. A pawn-ticket ldated June 20 was found on the body, showing that deceased bad received $24 on a watch a few hours before death. The following letters were found on tne body: To the Coroner: 1have taken my own life on account of different things—mostly because I have no money and cannot pay whatI owe. I ho ou will break the news of my death to the landlady of my house at 157 Seventh street first, because she will be better able to tell my wife. WILLIAM GOTTLIEB.
