Patterson Tries to Turn it Into q
Third-Party Movement.
HELENA (Mont.), July 1.-THE Min
ing Congress met this morning to con-
slider the silver resolutions. The COM
mittee was not ready to report. The
morning hour was passed by the reading
Of paper advocating silver coinage and
denouncing gold bugs and bankers, by
John Doniphan of Missouri. Doniphan's
paper was very favorably received and
created enthusiasm. 1t was ordered
spread upon the minutes.
The silver resolutions were acted on at
the afternoon session. There are two re-
ports from the committee, and the ma
jority report favors unlimited free COIN
age. The minority report favors an in
ternatlonal monetary conference.
The Committee on Resolutions reported
at the afternoon session. Patterson of
Colorado made long speech in favor of
the majority report, and E. Y. Smalley of
Wisconsin spoke in favor of the minority
report and against the Stewart silver
bill.
The minority report was overwhelm-
ing defeated, but no action was taken on
the majority report.
Patterson's speech created a sensation.
H tried to turn the Mining Congress
into third-party movement.
The following was among the resolu-
tions offered by Patterson:
ReSOlUed, That wisdom and patriotism re-
quire that the people of the silver States and
the State Conventions of all parties therein
shall shape their action so as to secure the bal
ance OF power, if that be possible in the Elec-
toral College, to the end that the electors
elected by the PEOPLE of such States may so
act independently in the Electoral COLLEGE, as
to defeat the election of any man as President
who shall not agree that the will of the peo-
pie, as expressed in any further act of Con-
gress in relation to silver, shall stand without
executive interference or veto; that in order
TO meet the contingency Of the possible cleo
tion of President by the present House of
Representatives, the constituents of the mem
bers of the present House be appealed to to
demand of all members of the present House
who are candidates for reelection to promise
that they will support no man for President
who will not permit the will of the people, as
expressed in the future Act of Congress, upon
the silver question, TO stand without execu-
tive Veto

The NJ, X. and 7. passenger train, No.

masked robbers at Adair, Indian Terri
tory, late last night. The robbers secured
the contents of the safe of the Pacific Ex-
press Company and made good their
escape.
1t is believed the robbers are the noted
Dalton gang, who are responsible for a
large number of similar scenes in the
Territory. The method of robbery COR
responds with the method of all the Dal-
ton operations.
The train has just left Adair, when two
men crawled over the tender, terrorizing
the engineer and fireman with drawn re-
volvers, and demanded of the engineer
that he stop the train. AS he did so
posse, which was on the train to protect
it, prepared for an attack, which was i'm
mediately made by members of the gang
from the roadside. j. w. Kennedy and
two Indian policemen, members of the
posse, were shot and slightly wounded.
They, together with the other members of
the posse, retreated and left the robbers
clear field.
The express messenger, in the mean
time, locked the safe and hid the key.

WHITNEY WILL NOT LEAD THE FIGHT.
BUZzARDs BAY, July 14.-Cleveland
was shown a dispatch in the evening
papers saying eX-Secretary Whitney was
wavering in his decision as to whether
he should accept the Craftsmanship of the
Democratic Committee. Cleveland said
it was very plain that Whitney's accent
ance was demanded by the unanimous
sentiment of the party, but while he did
not think he ought to urge Whitney to
do anything which his judgment did not
approve, it was difficult to see how the
eX-Secretary could withstand the pres

CHICAGO, July 14.-Evidently the In
terstate Commerce Commission has de-
termined TO find out, if possible, the ex-
act relation between the Illinois Steel
Company and the five railroad COM
panles. Commissioner Veazey to-day
adopted new plan of procedure, max
ing formal demand of Vice-President
Sterling of the Illinois Steel Company for
the stock book of that concern.
Sterling's counsel declined to permit
the books to be inspected.
Then you refuse to let the commission
see the book?" inquired Commissioner
Neazey.
After a conference with the lawyers,
railroad men and steel company's Off
clals, conclusion was reached that it
would be unwise to let the books be in
spected.
Then" said Veazey, "pll subpoena
you, Sterling, to produce the stock book"
This caused sensation, and right on
top OF 1t came an order making it i'm
perative upon the Auditor of railroad
companies to yield the Secretary's books
for inspection.
Another consultation was held, result
ing in decision by the railroad people
to postpone action.
At the afternoon session the first case
called was complaint against the Grand
Trunk, East Saginaw and Michigan and
Wabash roads, charged with having
given lower rates than those stated in the
tariff sheets TO foreign and domestic
points.
The first witness was David Brown,
freight agent Of the Chicago and Grand
Trunk. Witness absolutely declined to
answer question in regard to the above
charge.
The next witness was Sumner Hop
kins, freight agent Of the Wabash. His
attorneys advised him to refuse TO
answer the Commissioners questions,
because he believed the commission had
no jurisdiction to institute such an in
quiry.
Other witnesses were placed on the
stand, with similar result.
Chairman Veazey said after adjourn
ment that an effort would be made to
compel witnesses to answer questions,
and he will invoke the assistance of the
courts. If they decline they will be in
contempt, and punished accordingly,

VIII Fight the Whisky Trust.

ST.. LOUIS, July l4.-For a long time the
whisky trust held monopoly in the mat
ter OF making quotations on high wine
spirits at st. Louis, Cincinnati, Chicago
and Peoria. Yesterday, however, the
Central Distilling Company of this city,
the only establishment of the kind in st.
Louis not controlled by the trust, notified
the trade that it would in future make the
market price on high wines, and followed
by quoting high wines at 81 10, or cents
less than the figures quoted by the trust.
A war ON rates is likely.

includes the right to make the provision
relating to coaling station operative by
the purchasing or transfer of land from
native or other Samoan owners to this
government. Legal steps toward the
purchase have been taken, and the estab-
llshment of the first regularly and fully
acquired coaling station on foreign soil is
now assured. AS there is an ample ap-
preparation available, it is reasonable to
suppose that within q year at least the

ST. PETERSBURG, July 14.-Siuce the
last report twenty new cases of cholera
and eleven deaths are reported at Sim
DISK. Some doctors assert that the choI-
era has appeared in Moscow, where there
are thirty-iive cases in the hospital. but
no deaths have occurred. The disease
continues to spread in the towns and in
the affected districts. 1t is reported choI-
era has broken out in a village near ia
letz.
Astrakhan has become the chief nurs-
cry of the cholera on this side of the Cau-
casus. The epidemic advances rapidly
there and not elsewhere. The latest re-
ports from Astrakhan say in one day 225
persons were attacked with cholera and
l02 others died.
The Astrakhan Messenger published
the details of the recent riots at that
place growing out of the epidemic. 1t
says the mob held the town two DAYS.
The hospital was burned to the ground,
and all the medical staff more or less in
jured. One doctor and his assistant were
brutaIly beaten by the mob and trampled
TO death. The patients in the hospital
were carried to the banks of the VoIga
and fed with milk as a supposed antidote
10 the poison administered by the doctors.
Several succumbed to this extraordinary
treatment. The firing of a number of
yolleys by the infantry brought the mad
dened mob to reason.
owing to report that the doctors were
causing cholera patients to be buried
alive the lower classes at Saratoff rose in
revolt, wrecked and plundered the police
station, the Cholera Hospital, and the
residences of the Chief of Police and
physicians. The medical assistants were
attacked and two killed. The rioters had
taken full possession of the city, and
would undoubtedly have held it had 1t
not been tor the opportune arrival of
troops. The mob resisted and the soldiers
were ordered to fire upon them. A volley
was poured into the mob, killing three
and wounding four others. The rioters
then dispersed.
