Silver.
Upon the silver question he following
resolutions were submitted.
RESOLVED, That the congress of the
United States be petitioned to repeal all
laws which, in their effect work dishonor
upon, or, in the least, challege the sover
eignity of the silver dollar as an absolute
measure of Values and to restore to silver
the place given it as perfect money by the
trainers of our government
RESOLVED, That the only modification
of the above which we will accept is the
limiting of the operation of the law to the
silver product of the United States, and
TINS we VIII accept, believing that 1t Will
be but a change of method, which will
reach at once the same desired result.
RESOLVED, That we petition the presi-
dent and congress of the United States to
once more attempt to bring around an in
ternaGional recognition and adjustment Of
silver as money, and should this effort fail,
that a limited agreement be sought with
the nations of the Latin union whereby
the mints of those nations may again be
opened for the coinage of silver.
RESOLVED, That we petition the presi
dent and congress to continue, and if pos
sible complete, negotiations with the
Spanish American nations for common
currency for this continent south of the
Dominion.
A minority report ON the silver cause
simply demands the free and unlimited
coinage of silver"

ton, Thurston and Stewart, the Chicka-
mauga National park commission, Fri

coal, in order that they might immedi-
ately return to Chill. They did not get
the coal The consul did not bite, and
he is probably glad he did not, for he
soon learned from Washington that the
Itata matter had not been settled, and
that great care must be exercised to pre-
vent further complications which might
ensue should the Esmeralda succeed in
getting coal from the American com
pany.
Coal for War Vessels.
The present embarrassing situation of
the Esmeralda brings forcibly to mind
the comparatively helpless condition of
the modern war vessel when debarred
from full access to a coal depot. 1t like
wise emphasizes the necessity of the
United States government making pro-
visions for a like state of affairs with re-
gard to its cruisers in the event of inter
national complications. AS our navy is
placed to-day there are not many points
outside of United States territory where
an American vessel can ship
coal except through the courtesy of a
merchant or the permission of some for
eign government.
There are many ports visited by our
cruisers in which the only coal obtain
able is held either directly by foreign
power or is at the option of that power
and in case of strained relations existing
between our government and the one
holding coal, our warships would be
placed in the unpleasant predicament of
the Esmeralda,
Different With Great Britain.
In marked contrast with our own
status in this regard is the situation of
England. That governments cruisers
are assured of coaling facilities in what
ever portion of the earth their duties
may call them. In addition to the regu-
lar government coal depOts the English
admiralty reserves itself the right to use
any fuel in store belonging to any Eng
lish steamship company subsidized in
any way by the government.
Acapulcoites Alarmed.
The Herald dispatch from Acapulco
says:
The Esmeralda is clamoring for the
coal for which she has paid the Pacific
Mail company, but the Mexican authori-
ties are preventing the shipment or de-
livery of this coal. The coal is on board
few small transports in the harbor and
according to superior orders received by
the military commander Federal troops
are on the transports to prevent the
Chilians from taking the coal.
As the Esmeralda has absolute neces-
sity for fuel it is feared there will be a
conflict. The people of Acapulco are
much alarmed, because the Esmeralda
is sufficiently powerful to destroy a
portion of the town, which is only pro-
tected by small garrison and few old
cannons.
Nothing has been heard from the
Charleston and Itata since the Charles
toms departure.

TIE ROPE BROKE.
Disgusting Scene Witnessed at a Nebraska
Execution.


BROKEN Bow, Neb., May 25.-Albert
Havenstine, the murderer Of William
Ashley and Hiram Roton, was hanged
at 80 o'clock Friday afternoon. When
the trap was sprung Havenstines body
shot down six feet. There was snap
and groan and the body fell to the
ground. The rope had broken. Haven
stine, half-censcious, was at once picked
up by the sheriff and his deputies and
brought back on the gallows. The rope
was doubled and the trap was again
sprung. This time his neck was broken,
and death was apparently painless.
Fully 5000 people had gathered from
the surrounding country but in order to
witness the hanging they were obliged
to resort to mob violence. A stockade
sixteen feet high had been erected
around the gallows just outside the jail.
The crowd made dash at the frail
structure and in a twinkling 1t was com
pletely torn down, exposing the gallows
to view. AS soon as this was accom-
plished the crowd became orderly and
Sheriff Jones conducted the prisoner
from Jail. He was accompanied by
Father Haley, his spiritual adviser, and
retained his composure to the last.

were taken from cattle that died of con-

THE VESUVlUS.
Still Room for Improvement in Hel
Firing Mechanism.


WASHINGTON, May 25.-Commander
Evans submitted to the secretary of
navy Saturday the report of the board
appointed to conduct the trial of the
Vesuvius which took place near Fortress
Monroe this week. The board substan-
TALLY finds that the firing mechanism of
the guns will admit of considerable i'm
provement.
The results of the firing are given in
detail and the board suggests that an,
other trial be made. 1t suggests that
this trial be made at some location
where the exact places at which the pro
jectiles strike can be accurately deter
mined from shore. Under such circum-
stances the board believes that correct
estimate of the value of the guns can be
determined.
