CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-After tie remark
able attempt to las. the St. Louis cy-
clone convention of the Farmers ALI
ance and Peoples party. Miss Frances
Willard, president of the National Wom-
ems Christian Temperance union, had
a yecy expressive look in her ewes when
she arrived in Chic; 90 tonight.
What will the Plohibitionists do

was put to her, adding quickly. but with
marked, deliberate emphasis and de-
cisio 1: You may put just this down
as what think they will do: On the
18th of June, in the city of st. Louis,
will be held national convention of
the Prohibition party. The dele
gates to which will be from
every state and territory in the
I'm on, with flair intersprinkling
OF women among the delegates, and
that convention will hew out platform,
heart of oak in every plank, sound Oh
economic principles, treating of govern
ment ownership of all highways and
means of communication, also of none
tary reform, ownership of land, pro-
hibition and women suffrage. The
platform will mean what it says
and say what it means. Candidates
will be chosen for president and vice
president, and we will have the specta-
Gle presented of two tickets in the field
among the divided reform forces who
seek the peoples good"
The PrOhibitlonists," said Miss
Willard, earnestly, would have been
willing and glad to meet the PEOPLES
party half way, and the method we had
in view was this: First, that the st.
Louis national industrial conference
would put into its platform woman
suffrage plank and plank for the sup
preston of the liquor traffic. We had
good reason to expect this would
be done, for at the Chicago con-
ference were present Gen. Weaver,
Ignatius Donnelly, AL. Streetor and
Gilbert Delamater, three of whom had
been candidates of that element for the
presidency. and presumably knew the
situation. We also knew that Col. Polk.
of the Farmers Alliance. and General
Master Workman Powderly were thor
ough temperance men. and in converse
ton with the two latter | understood
them to say they were willing to have
those plankS go in"
do l think Mr.. Powderly acted in
the conYention in entire good faith?
Indeed l do" sa Miss Willard, with
warmth. 81 have great admiration for
Mr.. Powderly, and SO far from believ-
ing that he or the Knights of Labor in

VALUABLE PAPERS LOST.
Sidetracked or Stolen Between
MINNEAPOLIS and Superior,

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Feb. 25.-Two
hundred thousand dollars of mortgages
and notes have been lost in the mails
between Minneapolis and Superior for
over month. On Jan. IA last the pa
pers were shipped from the office of w.
W. Townsend, the Minneapolis capital
ist and vice president of the water and
gas company, to the Superior Bank of
Commerce. The mortgages and notes
were on property in the LabeIle divi-
sion, South Superior, and payable to Mr..
Townsend, and were to be collected bv
the bank. No notice was received re-
garding the papers. Mr.. Townsend ar
rived in the city Tuesday, and in the
forenoon went to the Bank of Com
merce. He was astoniShed to hear from
Vice President Buxton and Cashier
Brooks that the papers had not been re-
ceived. The postal authorities were i'm
mediately wired the particulars.

the convention acted in bad faith, |
think they stood Squarely up for
the women till they saw that it
was going TO put them greatly at odds.
when they decided it wiser to vote for
suffrage as separate resolution. MI.
Powderly told me that he was not the
author of the Colorado resolution, and
that the use of his name in attempting
its withdrawal was wholly unauthorized
by him.
IL believe that with less gerryman-
dering in the convention suffrage would
have carried in the platform by large
majority. Had the leaders, too, strong
ly in speeches in the convention been
as favorable TO the liquor suppress
sion plank as they were at the
Chicago conference, that too would
have been part of the platform.
If these two planks had been put in i'll
good faith the next step would have
been to have joint meeting of the ma
tlonal committees of the two parties in
which they would have mutually united
dental campaign. The two cOnven-
lions would soon have been held
simultaneously in the same city,
the one platform as indicated, been
adopted by each convention separately,
and then the two conventions would
have Immediately met together in one
hall to give name TO the new party
and select its presidential candidate.
1.-The attitude of the Prohibitionists
was dignified from first to last" MAIN
tanned Miss Willard. "Such of the pro-
hibtion leaders as attended the Chicago
and st. Louis conferences announced
that they did SO in a purely personal
capacity. AS to the st. Louis convention
particularly, the presence of myself and
others was in accordance with custom
of ten years standing to have fraternal
representatives of the Prohibition party
at all great national gatherings. The
movement for party union with the
ProhibitionistS had its inception IN
conversation l had with Gen.
Weaver last fall. He believed
such union to be most desirable
and also feasible. That such union
may still take place in time for this
campaign | am not without hope. At
present, however, it would seem un-
likely that any conference committee
looking to union will be appointed at
the st. Louis national prohibition con-

rates to be liked by congress, and also
favoring the Postal Telegraph SUSTAIN;
also resolutions favOring freedom of
commercial transactions; also advocat-
ing uniform bills of lading, free of
all evasionS of carriers common
law liabilities. Secretary Crawford
read a set of resolutions from the
National Real Estate association, that
the laws on conveyance of real estate
be made uniform in all of the states and
territories. Gen. Randall l.. Gibson
then delivered an address on Mississippi
river improvement and levees, after
which Mr.. Cruise, of Kansas, offered
the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the improvement of the
Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio rivers1and their
navigable tributaries would supply facility
for water transportation which would SO re-
d9ee o the cost of carriage as To-
productive industry in their : valleys
than the entire cost of the Improvements,

cost OF transportation; reclaim an area Of
improve the property of the people and in
crease their trade relations with other Sec
tons of theU nited States and i'm prove the con-
dition of our foreign trade as to benefit every
Interest and every part of the whole country.
This improvement is therefore of national
significance, ana should be provided for by
congress by adequate and continuing appro-
priatiOns.
The committee on resolutions submit
ted the following:
That it is the duty of the United States to
return to free bi-metallic coinage without
delay; that its money should consist of gold
and silver coin of full legal tender quality
and both metals to be coined by the govern
ment upon terms of perfect equal
der authority of the government made
convertible into ccin that at the pleasure of
the holders. That every dollar coined by
the government should be of equal value
with every other dollar SO coined, and rec
ommendng the enactment of a law for
characterization in 1873, and indorsing the
majority report of the coinage committee to
the house of representatives.
Action on the matter was deferred I'M
til tomorrow. Col. A. c. Fisk, of Color
ado, delivered an address on the silver
question, advocating free silver. EX-
Gov. Anthony, of Texas, spoke against
free coinage. He favored a full weight
dollar. urging that the country'S debts
must be paid with honest money.
Mr.. Pattison. of Colorado, in a brief
address replied to Gov. Anthony, and
denied that the West favored free silver
because it would benefit the West to
the detrimental of other sections. The
congress then adjourned until 10
o'clock tomorrow

a split occurred among the free COIN
age men over the motion to adjourn,

Blard resolution. 1t was finally de-
cided, however, to adjourn-S to So. MIR.
Pierce started to insist on the yeas and

purpose of putting those present on

The result of the caucus seems to be

such an order will be made, and then all

as they see fit on the adoption of the

In the Case of Baker, on Trial at
Ashland.

ASHLAND, Wis, Feb. 25.-The de-
Tense IN the Baker trial began this
morning with an outline of the defense.
The attorneys for Baker will try and
prove conclusively that the first either
Baker or Perrin knew of the robbery
was when Informed by Cashier Rey-
nolds. The testimony of Reynolds will
form prominent part in their case.
They will show that Reynolds testi-
mony in regard to being able to see that
the vault door was open from the street
was wrong, as it is impossible to tell
whether the door is open or not at
distance of ten feet. On the night of
the robbery Reynolds also raised the

never before been allowed in the history

HOLSTERS UNITED.
Free Silver Likely to Be Supported
Solidly.

Solidly.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-The Indiana
delegation in congress held meeting
today, and the result is discouraging 10
the anti-silver men. The opponents
of free silver have been looking TO
Mr.. Bynum of this delegation with con-
siderable hope as strong Democrat
who would rally to his support quite
little strength Oh any proposition to
postpone vote on the free coinage bill
until next session. 1t has been stated
that after the silver bill had been
debated for q week or more Mr..
Bynum would move the postponement
of further discussion. These reports,
however. will not be verified, for MIR
Bynum said today he would go with his
state delegation. At the conference
this afternoon it was ascertained that
the majority of the Indiana Democrats
in congress were free coinage men.
No attempt was made to bind any
one. but, nevertheless, all present
agreed to act as unit on this question,
and to vote against pOstponement of the
free coinage bill and in favor of it pas
sage. The delegation. it is said, has
always acted together, and it was felt
that as the sentiment of the Democrats
of the state was favorable to free coin
age there was no occasion for a split on
the silver issue.
