It Goes Into Eject To-Day-Prcparation
to Meet II.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12s-The treasury de-
partnent has practically completed ar
rangements for the execution of the new
silver law, which goes into effect to-mor-
row. The bureau of engraving and print
ing has been employed night and day max
ing the new treasury notes required by the
bill, but SO far printing has been confined
to notes of the denomination of $1,000 and
800. Nineteen million dollars in these
notes were turned over to Treas
urer Huston to-day to receive
the impression of the treasury seal,
without which they are of no value. About
$5,OOO,OOO were completed to-day and
shipped to the subtreasury at New York for
use in the payment of silver to be purchased
tomorrow under the terms of the depart
ment's circular of Aug. l, last. Purchases
made elsewhere will be paid for in drafts
on the assistant treasurer of that city until
provisions are made for supplying other
subtreasuries with the new notes. The
department will purchase during the re-
mainder of the month 2,76O.OOO ounces of
silver. the amount required under the pro-
visions of the new law for the nineteen
days. It is expected that tomorrow the
offerings will be heavy, intimation having
been received from dealers of offers to the
amount of about 4, ,OOO, 900 ounces. Director
Leech, who will have charge of the bust
ness, says he does not propose or accept.
He will give out only the amount required.

Those Of the Republican Party
Tersely Set Forth by Dela-
ware Democrats.
The Platform Prepared and Read
by Ex-Secretary Of State
Bayard.
Illinois Republicans Alarmed at Pal,ner's
Popularity, But Exceedingly
Jealous Of Each Other.

Down, DEL, Aug. 12.-Prior to the a.
sembling of the delegates Of the democra-
tic state convention to day a secret con-
ference was held at which there were pres
ent Thos. +. Bayard, Ex-Governor Stock
ley, Robert J. Reynolds, the most proni-
nent gubernational candidate, and few
other party leaders. The indications are
that Reynolds will be nominated for COVER
nor and Causey for congress-. The conven-
ton was called to order at l p. m. The
usual committees were appointed. with
Bayard chairman of the committee ON plat
form, and the committees retired to make
up their reports. Governor Charles Stock
ley was chosen permanent chairman. The
platform was read by ex-Secretary Bayard,
and was received with great applause. The
platform arraigns the republican admins
tration and congress for reckless expendi-
ture; denounces the action of the republi-
can majority in congress in the adoption Of
rules designed to cripple the essential pow
ers of self-government and pave the way
for arbitrary legislation; condemns the sub
stitution for the high discretion of the
house of the will and autocratic power of
one man; protests against the force bills;
declares the enactment of q measure 80
atrooious would deprive the state of local
self government, and that the people of
Delaware Indignantly resent the menace
and insult of the bayonet at the polls; de-
nounces the Mckinley tariff bill, which in
creases taxation, while it lessons revenue,
strangles commerce, enhances the cost of
living and production, obstructs enter
prises of ship building and employment of
mechanics and navigators, and piles new
burdens on agriculture without obtaining
for the farmer wider market for single
product. Mr.. Reynolds was nominated for
governor on first ballot.

Illinois Republicans Demoralizsd and
Jealous of Each Other.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Aug. 12.-The republi-
cans are considering the advisability of
inviting ex-Gov. Oglesby to enter the race
against John M. Palmer for the United
States senate. Palmer was nominated for
the senate by the state convention and there
in no question but that he will be elected if
the democrats secure control of both hous-
es. His nomination, however, has had the
effect of suppressing the enthusiasm of the
leaders of the party. who can see no hope
of realizing their own ambitions by push
ing Palmer to the front and keeping him
there. Palmer's popularity in the state is
admitted, and the republicans anticipate
the result with some apprehension if he is
to be let roam up and down the state
unopposed. Oglesby is just as popular
as Palmer is, and it is thought that as he is,
too, an excellent stump orator, he would, if
carry the legislature futile. The republi-
cans however, fear that if they should an
nounce him as their candidate for the SEN
ate, it would cause split in the party and
probably lose them Cook county, as neither
Farwell nor Davis would take much interest
in the campaign. Then Senator Cullom
looks coldly upon the proposal. If Oglesby
should 20 to the senate, Cullom thinks his
own chances for going into retirement are
the same section of the state. and the Gus
tom has been established of taking one of
the senators from Chicago. Although the
scheme commends itself to many, il is re-
garded by the leaders as unwise, and it will,
therefore, in all probability. be not adopted.

They Tell Dinerent Stories About the
Railroad Strike.
New YoRx. Aug. 12.-At the Grand
Central depot this morning there no longer
existed even q substance Of strike, pas
senger trains coming and going with all the
appearance Of usual regularity. A telegram
to the general manager from Syracuse says:
"Order has been fully restored and trains
are running without interruption" This
he said, ended the strike. Vice. President
Webb says arrangements have been COM
pleted to run freight trains. Vice-Presi
dent Webb also said the road had all the
men it wants now. Reports from along
the New York Central railway indi.
cate that the strike is practically at an end.
Passenger trains were running on time be-
tween here and Albany this morning and
the delay west of there il unimportant. All
trains are now leaving the Grand Central
depot exactly ON time and the incoming
trains are only sllahtly delayed. Freight
traffic will be resumed and the blockade of
cars gradually raised. The leaders Of the
strike are still defiant and talk mysterious
ly about some important move to be made
which will allow them to retire from the
fight with flying colors upon the basis Of a
compromise with the railroad officials.

statements Of officials of the New York

lie Of these assertions, the strikers them
selves are still confident that the crisis has
not yet been reached, and that before the
week ID over the road will be tied up as
tight as drum. This belief is strength
ened by speeches made at meeting Of
over six hundred strikers this afternoon.
When Master Workman Lee was asked this
afternoon the reason he told the reporters
that the fremen would 90 out last night,
he said he had every reason to believe the
firemen in the Grand Central depot would

''they will strike." Reports read at the

desertions from the ranks Of the strikers
had taken place 90 far. Reports from
towns along the line stated that the strikers
are az hopeful as they were Friday night.

Travellers who have penetrated into the
easternmost parts of southern Russia find
some strange beliefs as to the power of fish
charms. Many fish found in those coun-
tries have two small. hard, round bones on

A paragraph is going the rounds to the
effect that wild animals are completely fssci-
mated and can be tanned by perfumes. and
this story is told: "There was Mrs. Lee
in India who had a tame leopard that played
in the house with her children. He was
very inquisitive. as all of the tribe are, and
loved to stand on his hind legs and with his
forepaws on the window sill look at the
passersby. When the children wanted the
place for themselves they would all take
hold Of his tail aud pull him down by that.
He was generally very amiable, but some
times. his claws being very sharp. the chill
dren we're scratched. So Mrs. Lee taught
Sal to keep his claws sheathed by giving
him, when be did SO, little paper tray on
which lavender water had been dropped.
This would throw him into transports Of
delight. He would tear the paper into bits
and roll over them on the floor. With
nothing but bottle of lavender water per-
sons have become the best Of friends with
leopard. tigress or ioness in

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-THE conference
committee on the Indian appropriation bill
passed favorably ON many of the amend
ments affecting the northwestern Indians
to-day. Among them 10 the senate amend
ment authorizing two Commissioners to ne
gotiate with the Indians On the Puyallup
and Colville reservations in Washington.
The committee agreed to the amendment
which makes an appropriation for carrying
out the agreement made with the Ceur
d'Alene Indians in Idaho. This amend
ment drew out a good deal Of discussion, in
which the benefits to be derived BY the ad-
joining state were enlarged upon at oonsid-
cradle length. The confereuce also discussed
at length the amendmsnt appropriatina

this amount was to pay forsboarding houses

amendment was agreed to.
