No Official Resnonsa.

WASHINGTON, May lit YVES stated at
the treasury department this afternoon
that no official response had been received
from any foreign governments invited to
join in the silver conference. The london
press dispatch containing Goschen's state
ment that England will send delegates Gre
ated no surprise for the reason that posi-
tive assurances were also received from
other governments and the president had
delayed the Issuance Of formal invitations
for the monetary conference until after
he received satisfactory assurances that
the principal European countries would be
represented. Invitations were mailed two
weeks ago and responses may be looked for
in a short time. The president has under
consideration the selection of two arbitra-
tors to represent the United States in the
settlement of the Behring sea question and
said the appointments would be announced
next week. Indications are that one of the
arbitrators will be Justice Harlan of the
supreme court.
The sub-treasury bill which has been be-
fore the committee of Ways aud Means
some time, was taken up today and Shively
was authorized to move its reference to the
committee On Banking and Currency.

CleveIand's Name Not Mentioned.

Council BLUFF, Ia, May 1.-THE Demo
Gratis OF Iowa today pronounced their I'M
shaken fealty to Horace Boies for presi-
dent of the United States by unanimous
vote, and without dissenting voice in the
committee or convention resolutions were
adopted instrncting twenty six delegates
of the Hawkeye state to vote as unit for
Boies and to use every effort in their power
to secure his.
NOMINATION FOR TIE PRESIDENCY.
As the first state in the great west to
pronounce in unequivocal terms for the
candidacy for her favorite son, Iowa must
occupy q prominent position in the ma
tional convention, and friends Of Governor
Boies are tonight rejoicing over the i'm
petus which today's action must give his
presidential boom.
In another respect the action of today's
convention is peculiar. 1t is the first state
convention for several years outside of the
state of New York, where the name of
Grover Cleveland has not been mentioned.
The omission to extol the ex-president
was not the result of error or forgetful-
ness. 1t was due to the deliberate action
Of the committee on resolutions, after q
calm discussion of the question of policy,
that Grover Cleveland was ignored, and
this action was taken in the very excess of
caution in order that some might avoid the
error into which Illinois is popularity re-
garded as having fallen in naming Grover
Cleveland as first and Palmer as second
choice.
Boies is apparently so emphatically and
solely the choice of Iowa Democrats that
even Clevelands name was banished from
! the official declaration of Democratic faith,
and not single man in the vast assemblage
protested against the omission.

this morning the work of rescue was re-

The exact cause of the terrible explosion
in the coal mine yesterday, in which forty
three men persisted, will never be known,
as it is now certain every man in the mine
was killed. The most reasonable conclusion
is that miner struck a gas pocket, which
ignited from his lamp.
This afternoon only fourteen bodies have
been recovered, the work being slow be
cause of the wrecked condition of the in

forty eight hours more will elapse before
