VOLUME LXXX SAN FRANCISCO, MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 31, 1896. HONEST-COIN DEMOCRATS All Ready for the Sound- Money Convention at Indianapolis. IT WILL BE A NOTABLE GATHERING. Eminent Men From Nearly Every State in the Union Are Delegates. BRAGG AND BUCKNER FAVORED FOR THE TICKET. The Florida Delegation Will Go to the Convention With a Grover Cleveland Banner. INDIANAPOLIS, Isp., Aug. 30.—The movement that brought into being the convention of the National Democratic party, which will be called to order in Tomlinson Hall at noon Wednesday next, started with the adoption of the platform by the Chicazo Democratic Convention. No definite steps were taken, however, un- til July 19, when W. D. Bynum, John P. zel, John B. Wiison, Jokn T. Dye and ns Woollen sent out from this city egrams asking for a conference of sound- money Democrats at Chicago. From that day the movement has de- veloped so rapidly that now the National Democracy is organized in forty-one States, all of which, it 1s said, will be represented by full delegations in the con- vention this week. Mr. Bynum, as chair- man of the executive committee, has been almost night and day in pushing the unization and he has had the active | port and assistance of many of the | st Democratic politicians in the country. Secretary Wil n of the National Com- mitiee this evening completed making up the temporary roll of the convention, so | far s he could go, until the Tuesday meet- | ing of the National Committee, The fol- | lowing States have certified the names of | full delegations elected: California, Con- cticut, Iilinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, ky, Levisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, ~Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsyiva- nia, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dak: Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, West Virginia—twenty-nine in all. The following States have notified the committee that they have 1s, but have not yet sent Alabama, Colorado, Dela- a, Nebraska, New Hamp- nia and Washington. se States will, it is expected, elect ow: New York, Arkansas, Mis- and Montana, making a total of | ¥ ates, and leaving Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada and Utah as the States which will not take part in the conven- tion. The convention will be notable in one or two other particulars aside from the suddenness with whici 1t has been brought together. It will have no con- tending factions nor cpposing ambitions and it will contain more notable men than any of those held this year. The speeches to be delivered at the Wednesday night mass-meeting by Ehrich, Feliows, Breck- ridge, Eckels and Outhwaite are lgoked rward to as notable contributions tn the sound-money literature of the campaign. W. J. Curtis ot New Jersey, one of tbe leaders of the sound-money movement in the Democr: party of this State, arrived ty this afternoon. Hé said the i legation of twenty men from New Jersey would be here and that a number of others inierested in the movement would atiend the convention. 'he movement in New Jersey,” he *‘is widespread and powerful. Of the fourteen members of the State Committee when the committee voted as to whether or not it snould support Bryan, three voted absolutely against such a course ana one failed to vote.” ** We have three of them now on our Btate committee and the secretary and chairman of the old Staie committee are only waiting for the State convention for the election of electors-at-large to leave the old party and identify them- selves with the new movement. I use the term old party as referring to what is gen- erally spoken of as the Democratic party, but we do not recognize it as the Demo- cratic party atall. We look upon the ad- herents to the Chicago vlatiorm as the bolters, and as & matter of fact they are bolters in New Jersey, for they left tne principles whicn the Democrats of the State had already declared for. **Whno is the preference of New Jersey for the presidential nomination?” was asked Mr. Curtis. 1 cannot speak for the delegation,” he answered, ** as we have bad no conferences and every man comes free to cast his vote as he chooses. I can say, however, that we will probably be nnited and our princi- palaim, perhaps, will be to add strength to the strongest man. Personally I be- lieve that General Palmer would make the ideal candidate. *‘General Bragg is a man of whom Iam very fond and a man who wou!d do honor to the ticket. Watterson is very popular and would make a very acceptable candi- date to many and there is only one reason that I could offer for not supporting him for the nomination. Coming from the same State as General Buckner his nomi- nation for the Presidency would defeat Buckner’s nomination tor th- Vice-Presi- dency and I hope to see General Buckner get that nomination.” The Florida delegation will come to the convention to support Grover Cleveland for the Presidential nomination. To-day a telegram was received by Mr. Taggart executive Meigs, chairman of the delegation, asking that a banner be prepared for the delega- tion. The banner is to be of white silk with a gold border, containing in the cen- ter the portarit of Cleveland and inscribed with the words “Our Candidste.” Mr. Meigs requested that the banner be sent to the Union station to meet the delega- tion at 11:50 o’clock Tuesday morning. Chairman Bynum returned to-day from Bradford Junction, Ohio, where he spoke last night to a meeting composed largely of railroad men. He says there were 4000 people in the erowd, three special trains having brought large numbers from the surrounding country. The meeting was to him, at least, a very satisfactory dem- onstration of the interest of the people in the cause of sound money. Senator Donelson Caffery of Louisiana, who is to be permanent chairman of the convention, is expected to reach Indian- apolis to-morrow. Ex- Governor Flower, the temporary chairman, will not arrive here until Tues- day. The impression prevails to-night that the ticket is likely to be Bragg and Buck- ner. Mr, Curtis of New Jersey expressed his satisfaction with it, especially with the selection of Buckner, and the Kansas dele- gation are quoted in support of the two “Bra.” Mr. Bynum was asked to-night if the ticket nominated here this week would be heard from in the electoral college. ““Certainly,” he promptly responded. “It will carry four States.”” “What are they 2’ - “Florida, Alabama and Texas are three of them.” Nothing 1s known here of the intentions of President Cleveland regarding the con- vention and its work. Noone so far on the ground has received any communica- tion from him; at least, none that has even been whispered of in private con- ferences. Some people think it probable that Comptroller Eckels, who will be here to- morrow, has a message from the President oris authorized to speak for him in some way that will be satisfactory to the dele- gates. ElEe e McKINLEY'S MUDBHTi. Characteristic Reply to Words of Pratse From a Friend. CANTON, O=ro, Aug. 30.—Major Mc- Kinley spenta very quiet Sunday. The greater part of his mail was piled on his desk untouched, waiting for to-morrow. Only the most important of telegrams were answered. The Major had for his guest Hon. Benjamin Butterworth, who | is on his way to the Northwest, where he will go on the stump for the Republican party. Major Butterworth accompanied Major McKinley to church this morning, where they listened toa sermon by Bishop Milis. To-night Major Butterworth spoke most eloquently of his distinguished host. *I was going to church with him this morning, and as we walked along the quiet shady street I took occasion to say | to bim that his name was on every tongue and that he was known in every land, and asked bim if that fact did -not tend to exalt him in hisown eyes. “‘No,” he said, ‘it it tends to do any- thing it makes me more sensible of my shortcomings and causes me to seek with greater earnestness than in ail my life to learn the way in which my feet should go. Never before have 1 felt the need of strength and wisdom as I have these last two months, and never have I been so sensible of my own weakness.’”’ : e BRYAN ATTENDS CHURCH, “He Baw a Great Multitude” the Theme of the Pastor’s Discourse. JAMESTOWN, N. Y., Aug. 30.—Mr. and Mrs. Bryan attended service at the First Presbyterian Church here this morning and heard Rev. G. M. Colville, the pastor, preach a sermon from the text beginning “‘He saw a great multitude.” Thais was consirued into a reference to the vast multitude which Mr. Bryan addressed at Cleron, on Lake Chautauqua, last night. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan left Jamestown to- day on a special trolley-car for Lakewood, six miles from thes city. On the way out to the lake Mr. Bryan read in a newspaper that no hall could be obtained in which he could addressthe people in Toledo on Wednesday night. Commenting on this he spid he would speak on the open prairies at Toledo if the people wanted to hear him. Mr. ana Mrs. Bryan are stopping at the Kent House, where a rcception in their honor was held this afternoon. To-mor- row morning the nominee and his wife will make the trip up the length of Chau- tauqua Lake by boat to/Chautauqua, and from there they will be driven across the country sixteen miles to Ripley, where Mr. Bryan will speak. In the afternoon they will continue their journey westward to Cleveland. g e CLEFELAND WILL SBOON ACT. The President to Issue an Open Letter on the Money Question. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 30.—The Herald this morning says: President Cleveland’s visit to this city yesterday, the prime object of which was the reception of the Chinese Embassador, afforded him at the same time an excellent opportunity of discussing the political sitnation with the sound-money members of his Cabinet, and it is said that Mr. Cleveland did not suffer the golden chance to slip. As soon as Li had departed the members of the Cabinet present—Messrs. Olney, Carlisle, Harmon and Lamont—and Mr. Whitney, whose sound-money views are well known, began, i¢ is said, an informal discussion of the situation, dwelling prin- cipally on the question of a third ticket. 1t is understood that Mr. Cleveland told the gentlemen present that he would shortly issue an open letter on the money question, and that he bad wished to con- sult them as to its details. Tke discussion was prolonged for more than an hour pre- ceding the luncheon served in Mr, Whit- ney’s house, and was also continued during the repast. —_——— Brace Not a Goldite. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Aug. 30.— Chief Justice Theodors Brace of the State Supreme Court yesterday an- nounced his fealty to the Demo- cratic party, and declined the nomi- nation of the Gold Democrats. “Why I was nominated by that conven- tion,” he said, “I do not know. I was nominated by the regular Democratic Convention for State Supreme Judge. I stand upon the platform adopted by that convention, and shall do whatever I can consistent with my judicial position to at thc Grand Hotel from Mr. Arthur uphoid 1t, both in State and Nation,” —— o — e An Issue PRICE FIVE CENTS. o= M.

The Consul-General Unable to Gather Information for This Government. HAVANA RESIDENTS AROUSED. Oppose the Decree Suspending the Gathering of Sugar and Coffee Crops. LONDON, Exa., Aug. 30.—The Standard will publish to-merrow a dispatch from Madrid, saying that the Spanish Govern- ment has expressed approval of the decree which Captain-General Weyler has de- cided to issue, suspending the work of gathering the coffee crop in Cuba, and also of his action in forbidding Spaniards and foreigners to hold any dealings with the insurgents. The aispatch also says the American Consuls in Cuba have pro- tested against the inforcement of the latter order, upon the ground that i: would prevent them from securing infor- mation that the State Department at Washington required and would be con- ducive to demands for indemnity by American citizes, whose property suffered in consequence of the carrying oat of the order. —_—— WAGING WAE ON WEYLER, Havana Spaniards May Demand That He Be Recalled. R KEY WEST, Fra.,, Aug. 30.—Great ex- citement prevails in Havana over Wey- ler’s decree in regard to the sugar and coffee crops. It is believed that, if issued, the decree will be strongly opposed. Seri- ous complications are expected from the Spanish element. Itis rumored that the Conservative party held a secret meeting last night and decided to ask the home Government for Weyler’s recall, and if re- fused to forcibly expel him, as was done to General Dulce in the war., It is understood that Consul Lee has strongly vrotested against the notice posted at the entrance to Cabana Fortress, stating if the American Consul presented himself there to detain and arrest him. Lee has also demanded that Weyler make a full investigation of Charles Govin’s death. It is further reported that Quintin Ban- dera and sixty followers have crossed the southern section of the trocha and are now operating around Pozo Redondo and that Bandera will assume command of the forces in Havana province, heretofore ander General Zavas, who was killed in a recent engagement. AERONAUT BALDWIN'S FALL He Receives Injuries Which Will Doubtless Prove Fatal—Sad End to a Ro- mantic Career. DENVER, Coro., Aug. 30.—Sergeant Ivy Baldwin, attached to the Signai Service of the Department of the Colorado, fell from his balloon while making an ascension at Elitch's Gardens to-day and will probably die from his injuries. As the balloon was released and rushed upward a sudden gust of wind blew the aeronaut, :wingin, from =& trapeze, against a tree, the shock dazing him so that he jost his presence of mind, and when above the treetops hie let go his hold. tailing a distance of forty feet. Both arms were broken, & hip dislocated _most of whom were poorly arm and one eve was seriously wounded. He was taken to St. Anthony's Hospital, where he lies unconscious. Ivy Baldwin has had a romantic career, baving given balleon exhibitions all over tHe world. About two years ago Captain W. A. Giasford, who has been experi- menting with balloons as a means of sig- naling in army work, induced Baldwin to enlist, and his practical knowledge of bal- looning has been of great vaiue. The aeronaut has been taking great interest in the equipment of the new balloon park at Fort Logan, where practical operations ‘were soon to be inaugurated.

Traveling With the Czar and Czarina on Their Tour of Europe. A MAN OF STRONG CHARACTER Cool- Headed and Clear-Sighted He Was Never Swerved From His Purpose. LONDON, Exa., Aug. 30.—The Daily Telegraph to-morrow will publish a Kief dispatch saying that Prince Lobanoff- Rostovski, the Russian Minister of For- eign Affairs, who accompanied the Czar and Czarina on their recently begun foreign tour, died suddenly to-day while on his way from Vienna to Kief. Prince Lobanoff’s nomination to the Chancellorship of the Russian Empire marked the inauguration of a new era in Muséovite politics. M. de Giers was con- tent wit: a perfectly passive role while at the head of the Department of Fureign Affairs, leaviug all the initiative to the late Czar, who retained in his own hands the direction 6f Russia’s international re- lations, while Prince Gortschakoff—at any rate, during the last decade of his life— was so much absorbed by gquestions con- cerning his failing health and by his quest for pleasure that he had but little time to devote to the affairs of state, the administration of which he abandoned to subordinates, who were naturally afraid to assume any responsibility. Prince Alexander Lobanoff-Rostovski, -however, was a man of a very different stamp. Masterful in character, cool- headed and clear-sighted, he would not permit himself to be swayed by any one— not even by the Czar himseli—from the course which, upon mature reflection, he had decided to be the right one to adopt. Unlike the majority of his countrymen, he never gave way to impulse, never lost his temper and never manifested any of that passionate enthusiasm to which the Slavs are so prone. Nothing ever seems to dis- turb his equanimity, while his inde- pendence of character was something ab- solutely unigue in a Russian. Possessea of a vast fortune, as well as of a lineage which, extending back to Rurik, is, froma Russian point of view, superior even to that of the Emperor, he regarded himself as fully the latter’s equal as far as blood and ancestry are concerned. Prince Lobanoff, when Embassador at Vienna, received a telegram from the Grand Duke Nicolas Nicolaievitch, in which the brother of Alexander II an- nounced the hour of his arrival and de- manded that Prince Lobanoff should meet nim at the station. Without betraying any sign of irritation at the arrogant tone of the dispatch, he contented himself with sending an attache to the terminus to meet the Grand Duke, and to inform him that he wonld be pleased to see him at the embassy. He would not even call upon Nicolas at his botel, but waited 2t home to receive the visit of his Imperial High- ness, whom he greeted on the threshold of his library with that urbanity which characterized his manner to high and tRe | 15w alike. ‘Not a word of apology did he offer for receipt of his message, he had taken care to lay the telegraphic dispatch on the desk ‘n such a manner that its contents could not fail to catch the eye of any one entering the room. The Grand Duke took his lesson meekly, nor did he ever take more trouble than on this occasion to express his regard for the Embassador, who subsequently heard privately from St. Petersburg that Alex- ander III had been ,delighted with the snub administered to his uncle. HiWAIIAN (XFPORTS. The Trade With the United States 1Is Doubled in a Year. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 30.—Con- sul-General Mills at Honolclu, supplant- ing a former report calling attention to the diversion of Hawaiian trade from San Francisco to New York, writes to the de- partment under date of August 13 that during the six months ending June 30 the total exports from Honolulu to the United States were valued at $8.748,526 40, against $4,499,916 27 for the correspondirg period last year, an increase of nearly $4,000,000. Of this total $8,542,78164 reprc 'nts the value of sugar sent to America, $2,475,532 of it going around the Horn to New York, except a small cargo, which went to Bos- ton. Already duricg the present calendar year the direct shipments to New York have amounted to $3,046,368 49. S L SATOLLI’S SUCCESSOR. The New Papal Delegate Will Sail From Italy Newt Sunday. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 30.—Cardi- nal Satolli has received a letter from Rome announcing that Archbishop Mar- tinelli, the new Papal delegate, will sail from Genoa on the steamer Falda on Sep- tember 6. The ceremony of the installation will take place at the residence of Cardinal Satolli and will be an impressive yet very simple function. Cardinal Satolli will in- vite a few personal friends to be present. Cardinal Satolli will sail on October 17. Dr. Rooker will remain in Washington as Martinelli’s secretary. GRAY GAB.ES_ ROMANCE The Governess of the Cleveland Children Weds Grover’s Coachman. A Substantial Check Signed by the President Is Among Their Presents. SANDWICH, Mass., Aug. 30.—The an- nouncement that a wedding had occurred, in which the contracting parties were ‘members of the household of Gray Gables, excited Sandwich to-day, since report had it that the ceremony had been performed in this little town. Report for once proved true, and Rev. J. D. O’Keefe au- thenticated the rumor that the happy and handsome couple which Ieft the parochial residence this afternoon was composed of none other than the coachman and gov- erness in the family of the President. ‘T'he bridal party drove up from Gray Gablesearly in the day, going to the home of J. W. Dalton, where thev had luncheon and prepared for the ceremony. Later, the pastor having been apprised before of their coming, they went to the parochial residence for the service. ~The bride, Miss Jennie Schultz Landers, ‘was attired in a pretty traveling dress of dark color and was attended by Miss Sophie E. Peterson as bridesmaid, while J. W. Dalton acted as best man for John J. Nolan, the groom. No invitations had been issued for the ceremony, and pone but the members of the wedding party witnessed it. = After the service the party drove back to Gray Gables, where a wedding breakfast was served, and where the couple were heartily congratulated by both the Presi- dent and his wife. Mr. Cleveland remem- bered the couple. with a substantial check as a wedding gift. Mr. and Mr:. Nolan wili takea bridal triv of short duration, after which Mr. Nolan will return to Gray Gables and the having neglected to obey the behests of | bride will go to Washington to make the Grand Duke, and that the latter might ready for the return of the President’s be under no misapprehension as to the |family. LI MOURNS FOR GRANT Visits the Tomb of the General at Riverside Park. ESCORTED BY MOUNTED POLICE. The Celestial Embassador Much Affected as He Enters the Cryot. PLACES A BEAUTIFUL WREATH ON THE CASKET. Afterward Calls on the Widow of the General and T:kens of Esteem Are Exchanged. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 30.—Li Hung Chang, despite the fact that he a*tended a dinner given in his honor Saturday night by the ex-ministers to China at the ‘Waldorf and had remained up at leastan hour beyond his nsual hour for retiring, arose this morning at 6:30 o’clock. The great man breakfasted at 8 o'clock, after which he retired to bis sitting-room. At 10 o'clock a delegation of thirty Chinese mercharts, representing the Lee Fam in these parts, called on the Embassador to pay their respects. The delegation, which was headed by the Cuinese Consul, was attired in all the splendor of Oriental dress, and their pigtails were carefully groomed. The members of the delegation &1l bowed, almost to the ground, as they entered Li Hung Chang’s presence, and the great man returned the salute. The audience lasted for more than an hour, and it must have been a pleasant meet- ing, for the delegation was smiling all over when they came out of the room. Tne most interesting part of the pro- gramme was the visit of the Embassador to the tomb of General Grant on the River- side drive. L1 Hung Chang had a great admiration for General Grant, who was one of his heroes. At anearly hour in the forenoon acrowd began to gatber in the vicinity of the Waldorf anxious to get a glimpse of the famous CLinaman. Acting Inspector Harley, with a force of 125 men siationed around the house, kept the peo- ple from crowding around the hotel. There was no cavalry eseort to-day, the mounted policemen doing the bonors. The programme of the Viceroy was a per- sonal one, and this accounts for the ab- sence of the Government escort. The hour set for Li's visii to Grant's tomb was 3 o’clock. Before that time the police stopped. traffic and nobody was ad- mitted into Twenty-third street. A dense mass of people lined the sidewalks along Fifih avenue as far as' the eye could see. There were bluecoats stationed all along the route wuich was covered by the dis- tinguisned visitor. This was: Fiftn avenue to Forty-ninth street, to the Boule- vard, to Riverside drive and the tomb. Acting Police luspector Thompson was in command of 500 men, stationed around the tomb and along the drive. Colonel Fred Grant, accompanied by his son, Ulysses Grant, and by his brother, Ulysses Grant, of San Diego, Cal., arrived at the Waldorf at 2:20 o’clock.. Mrs. Grant, the widow of General Grant, who was staying at' the Fiith avenue Hotel, was driven to Colonel Grant's house, 25 East Sixty-second street, where Li Hung Chang was to visit her after the ceremony a: the tomb was over. An immense wreath which the Embas-- sador was to place on the tomb of the dead general was first carried downstairs from the Viceroy’s apartments. This wreath, carefuily guarded by a member of Li’s suite, was placed in a caband taken 0 the tomb. Precisely at 3 o’clock Li Hung Chang, escorted by General Ruver and Colonel Grant, came downstairs and walked through the corridor of the hotel to the Thirty-third-street entrance. There a car riage was waiting and he took nis seatin it. Colonel Grant, General Ruger and the official interpreter occupied seats in the same carriage. In the second carriage were General Miles, General Horace Por- ter and Henry W. Cannon. Ulysses Grant, the son of Colonel Fred Grant; his uncle, Ulysses Grant, and Mr. Drew, were in the thi.d carriage. Then came the Chi- nese Minister and ex-Minister to China General F. Seward. In the last carriage were four attendants of the Embassador. Li Hung Chang’s chair occupied a car- | riage all to iteelf. Everything was ready in a few minutes and the start for the tomb was made at 8:10 o’clock, the carriag s driving at a fair gate up Fifth avenne. Li Hung had his famous umbrella over his nead all the way. He received an enthusiastic ovation from the 30,000 or more people who lined the Riverside and Mcrningside drives. A large space surrounding the tomb had been roped in, giving the spectators a good opportunity of witnessing the pro- ceedings. At the foot of the streets lead- ing to the crypt was stationed a sergeant’s ——————————————————————— Just Now Hood's Sarsaparilla will do yougreat good by purifying your blood, giving you appetite, sweet, refreshing sleep.
