2 THE-SA\I FRANCIéCO CALL, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1896. SILVER'S BATTLE SOON TO BEGIN, Meetings of the Various White Metal Com- mittees. BIMETALLIC CONCLAVES. Plans to Influence the Framing of the Democratic Plat- form. FREE COINAGE LITERATURE. Populists Anxious for the Democracy to Name a Strictiy Silver Ticket. CHICAGO, IrL., June 26,—The active campaign of tbe various silver elements, preparatory to the Democratic National | Convention, will be inaugurated on Tues- day next, when the Bimetallic National Democratic Committee, which is made up of leading silver Democrats throughout the country, assembles at the Sherman House. The large clubroom of the hotel and six conference rooms have been engaged for the meeting, which promises to be very largely attended, the Democratic com- mitteemen of a number of Western and Southern States having wired for accom- modations for themselves and {friends. Theodore Nelson, secretary of the Demo- cratic State Central Committee, who is in control of the preliminary arrangements, said this morning. “The conference will commence on Tuesday and its work will continue until | the Democratic National Convention has adjourned. The main purpose is to influ- ence if not to determine the platform posi- tion of the convention, and we expect to | exert a potentif not a controlling influ- ence in that gathering. Theleading silver men of the country will be here with us and will have a full share in our delibera- tions.” This will not be the only round-up of the white metal advocates. A week from Sun- day the members of the executive commit- | tee of the American Bimetallic Union will | assemble in this city preparatory to a con. vention on the following day. The Union is a non-partisan organization, its purpose | being to promote a sentiment favorable to | silver by the abundant distribution of lit- erature and the providing of speakers for public meetings. National Secretary George E. Bowen said this morning: *“The object of the meeting is to look over the ground on the eve of the assembling of the Democratic Convention and see what can be accom- plished in the way of a union of the bi- metallic forces, in order that the entire silver strength of the country may, if pos- sible, be concentrated on one candidate.”’ H. F. Bartine, editor of the National Bimetallist, added that from hundreds of letters which were being received daily from all parts of the country it wasap- parent that the Populist party wasanxious that the Democrats should take neutral ground in the matter of candidates and nominate a ticket upon a strictly silver platform, which would be acceptable to the forces of the People's party. “It is apparent from this corres- pondence,”” said Mr. Bartine, *‘that if) Senator Teller should be nominated he will receive the unqualified indorsement and supgort of the Populists. Asto any other candidate I cannot say so much.” Between these two meeting there will be yet another. A week from to-morrow the National executive committee of the new silver party will open headquarters at one of the leading hotels. As in the other cases, the purpose of the meeting is to assist in rallying and concentrating the stiver delegates, to the end that a strad- dling platform may be avoided and a clean- cut declaration in favor of the white metal secured. The three committees will act independently, but harmoniously. S A HIS GRASS IS GONE. The Tread of Many Republican Feet Has Denuded McKinley’s Yard of Its Verdure. CA NTON, Oxnro, June 26.—Charles Em- ory Smith of Philadelphia arrived to-day and had a long talk with Major McKinley. Many phases of the campaign and the method of conducting it were discussed. C. L. Magee of Pittsburg came in during the morning. He thinks the tariff ratber tkan the sound-money question will be the effective issue among the great work- ing classes of Pennsylvania and predicts a larger majority for McKinley, in that State than was ever given a Presidential candidate. He believes the money ques- tion will be potent in tne East and that the platform adopted by the Republicans will make it impossible for the Democrats to carry New York with a Iree-silver can- didate. The reception this afternoon by the ladies of Canton to Major and Mrs. Mc- Kinley and the venerable mother of the major, was largely attended. For more than two hours an unbroken stream of women passed in and out. It was a good- natured, smiling crowd of all sorts and conditions of life, which numbered 5000. The light of day was excluded, and in- candetcent burners gave forth a blaze of glory. The reception commenced with a speech. It was made by Mrs. Alice Dan- nos-Jones, and was delivered before the doors' were opened. The assembled hosts of women had to listen to the speech or leave the reception. Major McKinley, in a dozen words, thanked the ladies for their presence and with his wife and mother received the womien of his town. The major stood at the left of his wife and made 1he introduc- tions. This evening a delegation of cheerful shouters from Norwalk, some 300 in num- ber, called upon Major McKinley and trampled the last spots of verdure from his beloved lawn. Major McKinley took much pride in his Jawn and counted it the courntry; it stands for the American fac- tory, the American farm, the American fireside, for American labor and American wages and American prosperity; to unite every part of our much-loved land. It stands for a protective tariff that protects every American interest. [Loud applause.] Itstandsforareciprocity that reciprocates; that gets something for that we give to the nations of the world. 1t stands for the reciprocity of Blaine and of Harrison and of the great Republican party [loud ap- plause], and it stands now, as it has al- ways stood, for sound money [vociferous cheers] with which to measure the ex- changes of the people—a dollar that is not only good at home, but good in every market place of the world. [Cries of ‘Bravo!’] 'With these principles em- blazoned on our banner this year—1896— we appeal to the deliberate judgment of the American people, and as Lincoln used to say, ‘There is no safer tribunal in the world than the American people,” and to that tribunal we confidently submit our aims and purposes this year.” it i ol TELLER IS THE MAN. Senator Mantle Thinks He Would Be Elected if Nominated at Chicago. CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 26.—Senator Lee Mantle of Montana, who is in this city, is emphatic in his indorsement of the candi- dacy of Senator Teller for the Presidential nomination. In an interview in a local paper hesays: “In my opinion he is at this time the only man in the public mind who can draw to himself the full strength of tne bi- metallic sentiment of the country, and un- less the full strength of the movement can | be concentrated upon one man defeat is certain.’’ “Do you think a silver Democrat could win?"’ “I dp not. In the firsf place it is only upon the issue of bimetallism as opposed to the gold standard policy of the Repub- lican party that the Democratic party has the slightest chance of success in this campaign. “It .must also be remembered in this connection that the silver question is not distinctively a Democratic principle. The People’s varty has pushed the silver question to the front and made it the principal plank in its platform. “Then again, there are thesilver Regub- licans, who constitute a far more numer- ous element than is generally supposed. “The Populists and the silver Repub- licans jointly will, I think, number at least 3,000,000 votes—nearly or quite one- third of the votes necessary to bring suc- cess. “Senator Teller has formally renounced the Republican party, so that in support- ing him no Democrat need fear that he is voting for a Republican. “With him as their nominee I firmly be- lieve the Democrats can snatch a victory from what, up to the meeting of the N tional Republican Convention at St. Louis, was the most hopeless prospect which ever confronted a political party.” kit BLAND’S CAMPAIGN OPENS. Preparations Belng Made Further His Interests at the Convention. ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 26.—Bland head- quarters will be ovened at Chicago next Monday. Colonel Nicholas M. Bell, Colonel Josepn K. Rickey and George V Allen will be in charge. They are all mem- bers of the Bland executive committee, of which Governor Stone is chairman, Governor Stone's newspaper organ an- nounces that on the heels of the meeting of the National executive committee of the Democratic Bimetallic League at Chicago next Thursday, a conference of the representatives of all the silver forces of the Nation would be held at Chicago. At this conference Bland's nomination will be urged by his friends on the plea that when the silver men enter the con- vention ' their strength should noc be divided between candidates. This could be done, it is contended, with perfect safety to the interests of favorite ones, none of whom, with possibly two excep- tions—Boies and Matthews—hope for more than a complimentry vote from their re- spective States on the first ballot; then, after the initial bailot, according to the present understanding of those favorable to the conference vlan, the votes of the free-silver States’ favorites will be cast for the caucus nominee. This plan is said to be entirely satisfac- tory to Mr. Bland’s friends, who are per- fectly willing to abide the issue, and if the supporters of Governor Matthews and Governor Boies can be brought to view the matter in the same light and with the same equanimity, the proposed conference will be held Saturday, July 4, and if the resolt for which it was called is then not reached, it will continue in session from day to day until the object is attained. TromaE MARK HANNA’S MONEY. to Many Thousands of Dollars of It Have Been Expended In Mc- Kinley’s Behalf. CLEVELAND, Onro, June 16.—An in- timate friend of Major McKinley said to- day: “The appointment of Mark Hanna as campaign manager was about the shrewdest political move McKinley has made in all his career. Hanna not only devoted his entire time to the cause, but contributed freely toward its expenses. A canvass extending over several years is an expensive undertaking, and the money had to come from somewhere. “Mr. Hanna said recently that the canvass cost him $100,000. Of that amount $38,000 was contributed by friends of Mc- Kinley throughout the country. Asone item of the expenses it may be said that the cost of keeping the friends of the cause posted on its progress was $2500, This was done by mailing 1600 copies daily of one of the local official organs to the convention delegates and leading Republicans in all parts of the country. This was kept up for several months and was but a single feature of one of the most perfect organiz- ations ever made in political campaign.” R At a0 B Cicero Populist Convention. CHICAGO, Inv, June 26.— John Z. ‘White of Cicero, who was the nominee of the Second Congressional District Popu- lists in 1888, was renominated for Congress by the People’s Party Convention of the district to-night. Four delegates to the National Conveniton in St. Louis were elected.

He bears the loss with becoming humor, however. .The Norwalk Repnblican Club was in- troduced by ex-Speaker Laylin of the Ohio House of Representatives, who dwelt upon the fact that Huron County has been a strong Republican county for t_ony years, In response Major McKinley said in part: +No man anywhere throughout the coun- try doubts where the Republican party stands to-day. It stands for a reunited RALEIGH, N. C., June 26.—The Demo- cratic State Convention ended its session at 4:30 this morning.

AN EPIDEMIC IS FEARED Sanitary Conditions Arising From the War Aggravate the Situation. HAVOC AMONG THE SPANIARDS Every Precaution Will B: Taken to Keep the Disease Out of This Country. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 26.—The most aiarming report from Cuba with re- spect to yellow fever comes from Sagua la Grande, where the marine hospital service is advised by its last report that were forty- one cases and four deaths. It is expected that within a very short time the fever will become epidemic and if it does not become virulert in the city of Havana all previous experiences will be set aside. The depart- ment has, however, received no advices to the etfect that cholera has appeared any- where on the island. The present war and its relation to the sanitary condition of Cuba isreferred to in the last annual report of Surgeon-General Wyman and the statements then made will represent the conditions of this sum- mer, only in a more aggravated form. On this subject General Wyman then said the insurrection had interfered to a great extent in the transmission of exact information from the disturbed provinces, and the normal condition of health in the island had been largely modified by the presence of a great body of non-immune Spanish soldiers. These persons have taken the disease and added to the natural number of cases annually prevalent in that island. The difficulties experienced last summer will be again met with this year. Accurate knowledge as to the number of troops stricken with the disease is denied by the Spanish Government. The reports from Havana last year showed a total of 1593 cases and a mortahity of 30 per cent. This summer special precautions will be taken to prevent the introduction from Cuba into the United States of yellow fever. Each of the four revenue cutters patrolling the Florida coast carries sani- tary inspectors tointercept fishing smacks and other vessels coming direct from Cuba with no intent to enter legally any port of entry, and also for the purpose of inter- cepting any returning filibustering expe- dition or refugees seeking to land surrep- titiously. Sanitary inspectors either have been or will be stationed permanently in Havana and Santiago, and such inspectors will be sent to every seaport of Cuba to re- port to the Marine Hospital Service of the pre7alence of yellow fever. e . FUNDS FOR WEYLER. A Royal Decree That Displeases the Mer- | chants of Cuba. HAVANA, Cusa, June 26.—The naval officer, Pando, who was shot in thé attack by rebels upon a gunboat which was as- cending the Cauto River recently is re- ported to have died from his wounds. Captain-General Weyler has issued an urgent order to the military commander at Santa Clara instructing him to con- struct barracks in which to place the troops who may be taken sick during the present rainy season. A royal decree has been received here authorizing the Spanish bank to issue $12,- 000,000 in gold bills, the same to be handed to the local treasury in payment of cur- rent obiigations. The Government will transfer to the bank $3,000,000 in silver and will allow the bank to retain part of the receipts from the stamp tax as security for the remainder of the issue. Merchants are displeased with the pro- ject and will soon hold a meeting and adopt resolutions in defense of their inter- ests, The local press comments unfavor- ably on the project. The Governmentls authorized to enforce the circulation of the notes. PR A KEY WEST EXCITED. Filibustoring Expedition Interrupted by Customs Officials. KEY WEST, Fra., June 26.—This city was thrown into a fever of excitementtnis evening by the arrival of the steamer City of Richmond with all the passengers and crew of the revenue cutter Winona on board. At 10 . M. the steamer Three F riends came up the harbor with an offi- cer from the cutter on board.

No Witnesses Against Emilio Nunez, the Cuban Patriot. JACKSONVILLE, Fra., June 26.—The case of the United States against Emilio Nunez, the Cuban patriot, charged with aiding in fitting out the expedition which is alleged to have left this port on April 27 for Cuba, came to an abrupt end to-day, the United States attorney asking for the dismissal of the accused as no witnesses appeared against him. STRIPPED AND STARVED. An Eastern Scientist’s Rough Experi- ence With the Yagquis. HERMOSILLO, Mex., June 26.—Henrie L. Bergmann, an archezologist from New York, who left here three months ago on a trip through the Yaqui Indian country, his intention being to traverse that wild section and strike the railroad at Chi- huah ua, hasreturned to this city, and is in a bad condition as the result of his ex- perience with the Yaquis, He statesthat he had hardly entered the Indian country when he was taken cap- tive and confined to an Indian camp for two over months. He was iinn but little to eat and was stripped of all bis clothing. When released _he was escorted to the limit of the Yaqui country and given orders never to enter again.

They pledge themselves to continue to de+s vote their energies to maintaining and de- veloping Rhodesia, the government of which remains vested in the company, The directors further say they regret that the occurrences in the Transvaal in De- cember and January, of which they did not have cognizance, compel them to ac- cept the resignations .of Messrs. Rhodes and Beit. e University Honors for Wales.

NEAT TRIPLE EXECUTION Three Murderers Are Dispatched by Colorado’s Automatic Device. Their Crime Was the Killing of Night Watchman Solomon at Trinidad. CANYON, CITY, Coro., June 26.—A triple execution oceurred in the State peni- tentiary to-night shortly after 8 o’clock, when William Holt, aged 22, Albert Noble, sged 35, and Deonoc¢io Romero, aged 38, were led from their cells in'the execution house to the death chamber and were separately hanged by the automatic device which has proven so suceesstul in past exe- cutions. According to the law no one but the warden, the prison surgeon and a few authorized witnesses are permitted to be present at such times. Each man in turn was ushered into the death chamber and seated upon a chair placed upon the trap. After cap and noose are adjusted the auto- matic device is set in motion, and in due time the trap is sprung. The crime for which these men were execated was the murder of a night watchman in Trinidad, named Solomon, which occurred one night in November, 1895, while the trio were in the act of rob- bing a gampling saloon. Before they had completed their job Solomon appeared and sought to arrest them. They were well armed and without a moment's hesi- tation shot the officer down and escaped. They were afterward captured by a Sheriff’s posse, tried, convicted and sen- tenced. Young Holt, who was led by his com- panions into this scheme, had sought for some leniency, but the Board of Pardons after reviewing the case refused the peti- tion. The plot to rob the gambling-house was originated by Mrs. Martinez, who wanted money with which to defend her son Leandro, who was then under arrest for the murder of one Charles Allen, Lean- dro Martinez is now serving a life term in the “pen” for the crime. The woman was never tried for complicity in Solomon’s murder. —_———— BIKING WITHOUT A LICENSE. Pauline Hall, the Comic-Opera Singer, Arrested at Pittsburg. PITTSBURG, Pa., June 26.—Two years ago the City Council ordained that bicycle- riders should pay a tax of 50 cents each, and do no riding except when the license plate was fastened on the wheel. Yesterday Miss Pauline Hall, the comic- opern singer, went riding in Schenley Park. Bhe was spinning along, when Bolomon Coulson, Assistant Superintend- ent of Police, appeared, wearing his every- day uniform, which is so gorgeous that Miss Hall stopped to look at him. Then Coulson saw she had no plate an her wheel and arrested her. Miss Hall was taken to the police station and turned over to the matron. Magistrate Macgonigle came in an hour later and gave her a hearing. Because of her ignorance of the ordinance he reduced the usual fine of $25 to §1 and costs. ORIl MRS. LEONARD'S SENTENCE. Thirty Years for Murdeving Reyr Hus- band in Kansas. WICHITA, Kax., June 26.—Mrs, Irene Leonard, the convicted murderess of her husband, H. H. Leonard, wassentenced in the District Court this afternoon to thirty years in the penitentiary. The court overruled a motion for a new trial. Leon- ard was murdered in cold blood in his own home and the $5000 insurance policy which he carried on his life and which was made out in favor of his wife furnished the motive for the crime. Mrs. Leonard has had two trials. F. M. Williamson, her divorced husband, was also tried for al- lefied complicity in the crime and acquit- ted. Willlamson was cleared after 8 long legal battle. Mrs. Leonard listened to her sentence with the utmost composure. e B Butte Miners Blown to Atoms. .

RELIEF AT WASHINGTON Secretary Olney Breathes More Freely After the Great Tension. THE INCIDENT'S GOOD EFFECT. Will Hasten the Settlement of the Whole Controversy by Arbitration. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., June 26.—Minis- ter Andrade at noon to-day received the following telegram, and immediately sent a copy to Secretary Olney: CARACAS, June 26.—Yesterdsy when the national commissary at Cuyuni telegraphed the occurrence that Harrison and nineteen others had crossed to the left bank of the Cuyuni to open a road, the aub-commissary of Acarabesi protested in writing, but Harrison insisted, and the sub-commissary took him to the post of El Dorado. As soon as the Govern- ment was informed thereof it ordered the re- lease of Harrison and asked details. The dispatch confirms the impression that the Venezuelans were not at fault, and that the statu quo observed for several years was broken by the Harrison suryvey- ing party. Senor Rojas’ dispatch announcing Har- rison’s release has reiieved the State De- partment and diplomatic circies of the tremendous tension they have been under for several days, notwithstanding the pre- vailing confidence that the blame would not be found to rest altogether with the Venezuelans. The main question which is understood to bave caused Secretary Olney the most concern was the exact location of Harri- son’s defiance of the written Venezuelan protest. All doubts on this point were set aside when the geographical experts con- sulted decided that the proposed line of road from the Upper Barima to Cuyuni, where the surveying party was stopped, was clearly west of the Schomburgk line and therefore in territory which the British had hitherto refrained from violating. The Acarabisi River and the Schom- burgk line are identical at and near the Cuyuni, the Venezuelan district in which the arrest was made being named for the river. A number of Englishmen and Americans are engaged in mining and other pursuits 1n this district, but they recognize Venezuelan jurisdiction and operate under Venezuelan licenses. The British Guiana police militia has not at- tempted to exercise authority in the dis- trict. It is thought among officials that in view of the latest developments public clamor mm England against the Vene- zuelans will promptly subside, and that in & spirit of fair play the authorities of the South American republic will be treated with much greater respect. Under such circumstances confidence is expressed that the incident will give a strong impetus to the movement in favor of settling the whole question by arbitra- tion instead of undoing all that had been accomplished through Secretary Olney’s firm and persistent demand that all boundary disputes on the American con- tinent must be included in any general arbitration treaty between England and the United States. Sir Julian Paunce- fote, the British Embassador, had an interview with Secretary Olney this after- noon, presumably on that point. — e LONDON PRESS COMMENTS, General Satisfaction Expressed at the Outcome of the Incident. LONDON, Exg., June 26.—The Chroni- cle, commenting on the statement that Venezuela had ordered the release of Crown Surveyor Harrison, will to-morrow say that President Crespo acted gracefully and wisely. Itadds that the incident has done good in showing that Great Britain and America are on such terms that the former can request the good offices of the latter when Venezuela misbehaves. The Post will say: It is not an altogether comforting reflection that Mr. Harrison’s release was dwe to the influence of the United Btates, although, under the pecu- liar conditions of the case, there was no alternative except to seek American in- tervention. The Standard will say that it was better for all parties that Mr. Harrison’s release was effected through the friendly offices of the United States than by a direct per- emptory demand addressed to Venezuela. The incident encourages the hope that it will lead to a settlement of the Anglo- Venezuelan dispute and the resumption of diplomatic relations. Lo ANGLO-AMERICAN DISPUTES. Presbyterians Suggest a Permanent Board of Arbitration. GLASGOW, ScorrAaxp, June 26.—The Presbyterian Convention, which has been sitting in this' city since June 17, unani- mously passed a resolution to-day to peti- tion the Governments of Great Britain and the United States for the establish- ment of a permanent board of arbitration to settle disputes which may arise between the two nations.

The two and Gates’ father had been fishing and were returning home, when Davis, who was walking ahead, saw a raftlesnake and called on Gates, who carried a shotgun, to kill it.

Man- now was the accomplice of Joseph Win- drath in the murder of Carey B. Birch, the cashier of the West Chicago Street Rail- way Company. Windrath was hanged here three weeks ago. ‘When sentence was passed Mannow had nothing to say. A scowl Iaused over his face and his lips twitched nervously, as though he was anxious to break outin a tirade of abuse. The officers of the court had been warned that he would make a demonstration and several Deputy Sherifts were standing near to prevent an out- break. Mannow saw them and prudently restrained himsei i FRENTIED FATHER'S DEED Pours Cyanide of Potassium Down the Throat of His Child. Then Swallows a Fatal Dose Himself, After Returning Home From a Debauch. CHICAGO, ILyn., June 26.—Louis Rose- land, who had been employed at the Pull- man Car Works for two years as a brass- finisher, murdered his two-year-old child, Weedie, early this morning in a drunken frenzy by pouring cyanide of potassium down her throat, and killed himself by taking the same poison. The tragedy occurred in the flat at Pull- man where Roseland, his wife and two children lived, and Mrs. Roseland fought her husband like a tiger in her effort to rescue the little one from hisclutches, The murderer, who came home last night from a three days’ debauch, slept with his victim apart from his wife, who was aroused first by hearing her child ask the inhuman father for a drink of water. In- poison with water and forced the child to drink, under the pretense that he was giv- ing her milk. Rushing into the room, the frantic mother rained her hardest blows on his breast and face until he released her dying child, only to seize his wite and toss her across the room. The child fell to the floor and was soon dead, while the poisoner, who had already drank from the drug, stood erect only long enough to gasp, ““Good-by; I've taken poison.’”” S ACTOR KELLY DEAD. “The Rolling Millman’ of the Variety Stage Reaches the Grave.
