THE SILVER CONFERENCE.
Paris and London Financiers Talk
ing Of Plans TO Restore the
White Metal.

PARIS, June 2.-In the chamber OF dep.
uties yesterday M. Soubeyran moved an
Interpolation in favor of silver standard
of currency. He argued that if silver was
demonetized it would no longer have any
value in France. In Austria, he said
measures are pending that will withdraw
$40 100000 francs in gold from the Paris
and London market. 1t is essential that
the French government shall send re-
presentatives to the coming silver con-
ference with instructions tending to effect
rise in silver and prevent withdrawal
OF gold. Both England and France ought
to make most strenuous efforts to rehabi-
tate silver. The United States govern
ment is well disposed toward the project.
M. Rouvier, minister of finance, res
ponding said that the country most af-
fected by the situation was Great Britain,
owing to the relations of that govern
ment with India. Therefore it was the
place of the British government to find a
solution. The key to the situation was in
London. The French government was
disposed to give its delegates instructions
favoring an increased value OF silver, but
these would be subordinate to the instruc-
tions given to the British delegates. In
the meantime the French government
was opposed to the abrogation of the
Latin Union. In regard to the invitation
extended by the United States to France
to take part in the international silver
M. Rouvier stated that the
French government would accept the IN
vitation, but would reserve the right of
liberty of action both now and in the
fntnra

INDIANAPOLIS, June q Floods con.
tinue to increase in magnitude and dis.
asters are reported on every hand. White
river and Fall River are flooding all
contiguous territory, and many OF the
bridges in this vicinity are to succumb to
the raging waters before the day is over.
Several persons are reported drowned
this morning, and the indications are that
Indianapolis is about to experience the
most disastrous flood in her history.
Reports from points throughout the
state tell of great havoc wrought by the
waters.
Denison, Texas.-For twelve hours it
has rained uninterruptedly. The storm is
the most violent in the present year. The
country Is OVERLOADED. A number of
bridges have been carried away. The
damage to crops is very great. Trains are
badly delayed by the washouts.
Milan, Mo.-A water spout, near Dun
lap station, on the Quincy, Omaha &
Kansas City road, fifteen miles west of
here, washed away two bridges and 900
feet OF track, blockading all traffic. Heavy
rains have been falling at intervals dur
ing the past twenty-four hours.
Rolla, Mo.-At Newberg, Monday night,
Diehl's store was struck by lightning and
sixteen persons shocked into insensibili-
ty. Frank Viking, aged 16, and John
Deakin, aged IA, were killed. The others

Getting Ready.

CHICAGO, June 2.-The members of the
Republican national executive committee
left for Milwaukee yesterday afternoon
on a special train over the Milwau-
kee road. The members of the

Burke, the president of the college league
Of Republicans also accompanied the
party. The committee held no meeting
yesterday, but there was general discus
sion on the appointment of temporary
chairman OF the convention. The latest
gossip was that the honor would either
fall on Tom Reed, J. Sloat Fassett, or ex-
Senator John ]. Ingalls,. of Kansas. The
chances seemed to be in favor Of the
Maine man. Colonel Conger said that
Mr.. Reed had many friends on the COM
mittee. The vote, however, will not be
taken until Saturday when the entire
committee meet in MINI eapolis.

Arrested for Treason.

Honolulu, June again the capital
city of the Pacific is aroused, the present

persons, charged with the crime Of
treason against the Hawaiian govern
ment. The persons arrested are from

overthrow of the existing form Of govern
ment by deposing Queen Liliwokalani and

BOips and Tammany,

DEs MONIES, June 2.--It is developing
here by talk among the Democratic politi-
clans, including some of the delegates to
the Chicago convention, that Iowa ex-
poets to be the beneficiary if Mr.. Cleve-
lands name is withdrawn in the conven-
ton. 1t is assumed that Senator Hill is
not a possibility under any circumstances.
Some of Gov. Boies's closest political
friends are on intimate terms with Rich
ard Croker, the Tammany boss, and ON a
good footing with Tammany in general.
Mr.. Croker is reported at his end OF the
line to think very we'll of Mr.. Boies and
his campaign, and since Palmer has prac-
tically lost his own state it is regarded
here as almost sure that the Hill men in
New York will go to Boies as the available
western man, if one is to be chosen.

CHICAGO, June 2. - Even Emmons
Blaine apparently does not know how his
father stands regarding the presidential
nomination, The son of the secretary OF
state was at the Grand Pacific hotel yes
terday in conference with Messrs. Clark

afterward he declared he knew nothing
regarding his fathers intentions, though
admitting that the secretary's silence
seems to mean a good deal.

Free Adv. for st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, June MANY conflicting
reports have gone out here as to the dam
age done by the floods, estimates as high
as 100000 have been given. Now
that the water is receding it is evident
that so far as the city of st. Louis is con-
cerned the loss will be nominal. The
expense that will have to be incurred by
the municipal government is 30 trifing
that the city comptroller has not deemed
it necessary to make any allowance for it
in his estimates, and acting on his rec
ommendation the municipal assembly
has reduced the tax rate from so cents to
40 cents. There is much rejoicing in the
city over this unexpected action, which is
the more surprising as the city is erect
ing new water-works, and a new city
hall, costing altogether about 5000, 900,
and an increase In taxation was feared in
consequence. The reduction is the result
of an enormous increase in the assessed
valuation Of the city.

The Great Canal.

ST. LOUIS, June 2.--The large music
hall of the exposition building was crowd
ed to-day with delegates appointed by the
governors of nearly every state in the
union to represent their respective com.
monwealths at the Nicaragua canal con-
ventlon. Among the delegates from Ohio
are ex-Speaker j. Warren Keller and
Hon. Amos Townsend. The special OBJ
ject OF the convention is the memoralizing
of congress on the question of subsidy.
Resolutions will be adopted addressed to
the national conventions of both parties
requesting them to incorporate in their
platforms an Endorsement OF the canal
and the promise Of both parties to aid in
securing government aid for the project.
The resolutions will be submitted to the
Minneapolis convention by Mr., Estee, and
to the Democratic convention at Chicago
by ex-Postmaster General Dickinson.
A statement prepared for the informa-
ton of the convention says that the work
of the Canal Construction company is
progressing beyond all expectations. A
large number of millionaires have inter
ested themselves in the scheme, both
with their money and with their influ-
ence as result of the efforts of ex Sem
ator Warner Miller. The work on the
canal was commenced in May, 1889, and
one mile of it is now in actual operation.
The clearing of the canal line of timber
has been completed, and eleven miles of
railroad is in operating order, and over
5000 people are employed on the work.
1t was originally thought that the cost of
the project would be about $65, 900 900,
but the indications now are that fully
double that amount will have been ex-
pended before the work is completed.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-Much interest
has been felt as the financial views of
Gen. Eppa Hunton, who has just been ap-
pointed United States senator to succeed
the late Senator Barbour. 1t is emphatica-
ly stated that the general is strong advo-
cate of bi.metalsm and will both work
and votefor the speedy passage Of a free
coinage measure in the senate.
Conservative estimates place the final
vote upon Mr.. Stewards bill at 45 to 40
against it, leaving Brice, Carlisle and
Gibson, of Louisiana, in the doubtful coll
umn. In these estimates Mr.. Hill is
placed with those who favor the bill.
Although Senator Stanford voted to take
up the bill for consideration, it is believed
that he will vote against the passage.

Roquefort and Its Cheese.

Cheese, which has bcen the fortune
of Roquefort, has destroyed its pict-
uresqueness. 1t has brought slecu-
lators there who have raised great,
ugly, square buildings of dazzling
whiteness in harsh contrast with the
character and sombre tone of the old
houses. Although the place is SO
small that it consists of only one street
and a few alleys, the more ancient
dwellings are remarkable FOR their
height. 1t is surprising 10 see in n viii
lage lost among the sterile hills houses
three stories high. The fact that there
is only a ledge on which to build must
be the explanation.
What is most curious in the place is
the cellars. Before the cheese became
ar important article OF commerce these
were natural cavcrns, such as are
everywhere to be found in this ~calcar-
eous formation; but o they are
really cellars that have been ~cNcavated
to such Il depth in the rock that they
ARE to be seen i'll as many rs five
stages, where long rows of clieescs are
stacked n over the other. Tho vir-
tue of these cellars from the cheese
making point of view is their dryness
and their scarcely varying tcmpera-
ture of about 8 deg. ccntigradc sum
mer and winter.
But the demand for Roqucfort cheese
has become Sc great that trickcry now
plays 4 part in the ripening p rcss.
The peasants have learned that time
is money" and they have found that
bread crumbs mixed with the curd
cause those green s.rcaks of mouldi-
ness, which denote that the cheese is
fit for the market, to appear much
more readily than was formerly the
case, when it was lett to do the best it
could for itself with the aid OF a sub
terranean atmosphere.
This is not exactly cheating; it is
commercial enterprise, the result of
competition and other circumstances
too strong for poor human nature. In
cheese-making, bread crumbs are found
to be a cheap substitute for time; and
it is said that those who have taken to
beer brewing in this region have found
that box, which here is the commonest
of shrubs, is n cheap substitute for
hops. The notion that brass pins are
stuck into Roqucfort cheese to make it
turn green is founded on fiction

BY Rail to the Nearest Star.

In a recent lecture on .Fixed Stars"
DR.. David Gill wanted to give an illus
@tration Of the distance to Ccntauri.
This is what he said: "We shall sup
pose that some wealthy directors, for
want of outlet for their energy and
capital, construct a railway to Cen
tauri. We shall neglect, for the pres
ent, the engineering dihicultics-a
mere detail-and suppose them over
come and the railway open for traffic.
We shall go further, and suppose that
the directors have found the construc-
ton of such q railway to have been
peculiarly easy, and that the propri-
etors of interstcllar space had not been
exorbitant in their terms for right OF
way. Therefore, with a view to en-
courage traffic, the directors had made
the fare exceedingly moderate--viz,:
first-class at two cents per 100 miles.
Desiring to take advantage Of. these
facilities, a gentleman, by way of pro-
viding himself with small change for
the journey, buys up the national debt
of England and 4 few other countries,
and, presenting himself at the office,
demands q iirst-class single to Gem

ticket; but at this time the national
debt from little wars had been run up
from $500, 900. 900 to So, 500, 900. 900.
Having taken his seat it occurred to
him to ask: AT what rate do you
travel?:'
"''Sixty miles an hour. sir, including
stoppagcs,' is the answer.
"'Ihcn when shall we reach Cen

Tried Her Lovers Patience.

The London NewS gives this interest
ing version Of Henrik Ibscn's court
ship: When he fell in love with the
beautiful daughter of Pastor Thorssen,
how to make known the fact to her
troubled him for weeks. At last he
resolved to write to her. He would
come and fetch his answer tho same
afternoon at 5. Did the lady accept
him she would be sat home" other
wise not. AT 5 o'clock he presented
himself, and the maid asked him to go
into the best ROOM. He was very hope
full and was glad to have time to col
lect himself before he met tho lady.
But when he had waited half an hour
awful doubts began to assail him.
After an hour had passed he imagined
the letter had not reached the young
lady. Some fatal mistake was max
ing a fool of him. Still he waited on.
After two hours he began to be ashamed
of himself. She would learn that he
sat two hours in that deserted house
and would laugh ut him. AT last he
jumped up in II rage and a TO tho
door. He was opening it when a loud
pcal of laughter arrested him. He
turned and saw the fair head of his
adored emerge from under the sofa.
Her mouth was laughing, but her eyes
were filled with tears. 20, you dear,
good fellow. to wait all this while!' she
said. II wanted to see how many
minutes a lovers patience lasts. How
hard the floor is! Now help mo to get
out, and then we will talk" In less
