IOWA PoPULIsTS.
They Meet in State Convention and
Nominate a Ticl,et-,rbe Platform

They Meet in State Convention and
Nominate Ticket-The Platform.
DIES MONIES. Ia, Sept. 5.-The state
convention of Populists was held here to-
day. The convention was very demon
strative and backed up its enthusiasm by
raising the nucleus of a campaign fund
OF 81 500. The principal work of the con-
vention was the adoption of platform
which declares fealty to the Omaha plat
form of 1892, and says the present
stringency is due to the subserviency of
the two old parties to the eastern money
oligarchy.
The silver law IF 1878 is declared to have
been surreptitiously stolen in on our
statutes books by political sneak
thieves and President Cleveland is
declared to be using the Offices to "bribe
congressman to betray their constituent
cies' and that the two old parties are in
conspiracy with Wall Street to steal
mortgaged farms, railroads and other
property and to bankrupt the nation.
The plank on silver says: The one
rshadowing all absorbing issue be-
lore the American people today is the
question whether debtors of the United
States shall be allowed to pay their debts
In the money of the constitution, or
whether their homes and property shall
be confscated for the benefit of pirates.
The only party that votes as unit
against the tricks of millionaires is the
Peoples. There are only two parties to-
day-the Peoples party and Gold party
and we call upon voters of Iowa to repudi-
ate all party connection with gold men;
to draw the line before they are forced to
revolution to protect their children from
tenant slavery.
The resolutions further favor the cleo
ton of United States senators by direct
vote of the people; the abolition Of all
trusts; denounces attacks on pensioners;
favors the taxation of mortgages.
On prohibition the platform demands
the retention OF the present law until a
system of state and national control IS
devised with an element of profit elimi-
mated. 1t also declares for equal political
rights for both sexes.
The following ticket was nominated:
Governor, j. III. Joseph OF Creston; lieu
tenant governor, ETA. OFT of Des Moines;
supreme judge, A. W. c. Weeks of Win
terest; railroad commissioner, John Idle
of Towns; school superintendent, Mrs.
E. j. Woodrow of MarshalltoWn.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-The weather is fair,

dispensation issued by the arch druid,
permitting the Fisteddifod at the Worlds
lair, and authorizing Hwfa Mon, whose
other name is Rev. Roland Williamson,
Presbyterian clergyman from Wales, to
establish branch OF the Druid organize

were all in the Welsh tongue, and de-
signed to be just as the ancient Druid
priests conducted them centuries ago.
Interest in the festival hall session
centers in the male chorus competition

REMEDIAL LEGISLATION.
The Policy of the Administration Is
Clearly Defined.

Clearly Defined.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The financial
policy of the administration was clearly
defined today. 1t is that all secondary
financial legislation be postponed till the
Senate acts on the repeal bill,
The committee on banking and cur
recny b which falls the duty to originate
legislation to follow repeal, met this
morning but adjourned for week. It is
learned that the President and Secretary
Carlisle have expressed a wish
that all remedial legislation be post
poned til the repeal bill has actu-
ally passed the Senate. There is no
doubt the committee intends to follow
this suggestion. The object is to put
spurs on the Senate by concentrating
public attention on it. The House will
keep the road clear for immediate con-
sideration of repeal as soon as it comes
from the Senate.
During the meeting of the Senate COM
mittee on Finance this morning there
was al informal discussion of the policy
to be pursued with reference to measures
now before the Senate which has been re-
ported by this committee. Senator Voor-
bees announced his determination to
push the repeal bill as rapidly as posi-
bic and indicated that this would be done
Gt least Tor the present without reference
to other bills which the committee had
under consideration. This is taken to mean
that whatever truth there may be in the
rumor that the administration has other
financial plans coming, or that Mr..
Voorhees, himself is anxious to secure
other legislation, all these schemes will
at least temporarily be held aloof and the
repeal bill be given undivided attention.
Senator Harris also made important an
nouncements in the meeting on behalf it
is supposed, of opponents OF the repeal

Pan American Medical Congress.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The first for
NAL session OF the Pan American Medical
congress assembled today. After prayer
by Bishop Parrot, of Maryland, Presi-
dent Cleveland welcomed the members,
dwelling on the high and important posi-
| ton which the medical fraternity held in
relations to individuals and government.
| At the conclusion of his short address,
| the president declared the congress open
| for the transaction of business. The oc-
casion was one of great interest, as it was
| President Cleveland's first official appear
! ance since his return from Gray Gables.
Speeches of welcome were then made by
| DIR. S. s. Adams, chairman of the Wash
| ington reception committee and by ]. W.
| Ross, for the District OF Columb ia. DR..
William Pepper, president, then spoke
words of welcome of congress to its for
| elgn guests and he was followed by adj
dresses of foreign representatives. Other
remarks were made by Hon. J. B. Nc
bard, president of the American Medical
| association.
Reports were made by DR.. G. A. L.
Reed of Cincinnati, secretary general;
and Secretary DIR. 8. s. Adams of Wash
| ington. The general address of the day
was delivered by Professor Risquez of
Venezuela, on American plants and their
uIuS pIOuuClS.
The most important work was at the
meeting in Grand Army hall. DR.. Gihon,
medical director of the United States navy
was in the chair. The subject attracting
most attention was the establishment of
national scientific control of the public
health. DR.. Gihon read the first paper
dealing chiefly with the necessities of
| hygiene. In the course of his remarks he
said:i
Immigration is huge pestilential
sewer contaminating our once pure lake
of American people. Facts show that II
per cent. of the population is foreign,
| while 80 per cent. OF the Inhabitants of
our asylums and hospitals is foreign.
Our race is dying out. Our American
women bear no more children. Who is
to take their place? Americans no longer
nurse their young. How can we prevent
| it? Give us national scientific body
and the sure betterment of our race will
| soon follow.
| After other speakers were heard, reso-
lutions We're adopted declaring that the
interests of public health should and
must be entrusted in any nation to q de-
partment of government especially
charged with their administration, one
of the indispensable requirements OF such
department being that il shall be ma
tiOnal.

sATOLLI IN CHICAGO.
The Papal Delegate Addresses the Ameri-
can People.

tHe Idpal delegate Addresses. Inc AmerIs
can People.
CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-HIn the name of
Leo XIII l salute the great American
republic, and call on the Catholics of
bearing the book of Christian truth, and
in the other the constitution Of the
United States,'' said Papal Delegate
Satolli, wrapping the purple robes of
his office about him and speaking with a
burning intensity of feeling that sur
prised the great multitude gathered in
the Catholic congress.
The scene was dramatic in the extreme,
the personal representative of the Roman
pontiff to the United States literally shak
ing under the stress of excitement, the
occasion of which was his first public ap-
pearance since his appointment to Office
and by many regarded as his installment
into the Office. All this occurred after the
congress was called to order by the pre-
siding officer, Judge M. j. o. Brien of
New York, who delivered the address of
welcome. In the meantime the royal
delegate sat on lofty throne-like chair,
said to have been brought to America by
Columbus. The papal delegate spoke in
Italian which was afterwards translated
by Archbishop Ireland.
Satolll said the first great Catholic con-
gress, the ideal and model for this and
every such gathering, was when Christ,
surrounded by the children of Israel, de-
livered the great sermon on the mount,
| the burden of which was: sSeek first
the kingdom of God and his righteous
ness, and all other things shall be added
unto you.' Here in America the key to
the future and the pope had charged him
to speak words of hope and blessing and
the message quoted above. Other ad
dresses were delivered by Bishop Waiter
son of Columbus, o., the cousin OF HoE.
Henry Watterson of Louisville, and a
number of laymen.
Among those who participated in the
discussion opened by Bishop Watterson
were: Edward Osgood Brown, single tax
advocate, and Judge John Gibbon of
Chicago; Timothy Dwight OF Boston ;
| Mary Theresa Elder OF New Orleans. In
teresting address on ''Catholic Summer
School and Catholic Reading Circle, -
were delivered by Catherine Conway of
Boston. By special invitation several
representatives of the colored Catholic
congress were given seats on the plat
| form.

THE GEARY Law.
an Important Decision by United States
Judge Ross OF California.

An Important Decision by United States
Judge Ross OF California.
Los ANGELES, CAL, Sept. 5.-Judge
Ross, of the United States district court.
today announced that the statement of
the treasury department., that there is no
money to enforce the provisions Of the
Geary act, is not founded upon fact, and
accordingly ordered the deportation of
Cham Shang Yuen, Chinese Iaborer, who
refused to register. When the case was
called this morning the district attorney
presented telegram from Attorney Gen
eral Olney, setting forth the fact of no
funds Tor the execution of the law and
the action of the federal court in New
York on similar case, discharging 8
prisoner until such time as provision for
MS deportation was made by the proper
authorities. The court was asked to take
q similar order. Judge Ross declineds
and In an opinion said in part:
s'That the information conveyed to this
court is not that there are no funds avail
able for the execution of the Geary act,
but that there are no funds to execute it
in so far as it provides for deportation OF
Cinnamon who have not procured certifi-
Gates Of residence. That portion of the
Geary act requiring such certificates to
be procured having been sustained by the
supreme court, is as much a part
OF the law as any other part
of it, and any Chinese laborer 7io-
lating it's provisions is as much
unlawfullv here as if ne had Struggled
himself into the country contrary to other
provisions OF the statute for the simple
reason that in each case existing law
makes such act unlawful. Violation of
each is subject to deportation and equally
so. The distinction attempted to be
drawn between the different offenses as
denounced by statute is in my Judgment
without authority of laW.7
People are greatly pleased at the de-
cision and applications for over hun
dred warrants were taken today.

AN OGDEN MAN ARRESTED.
He Is Charged with Assault on a Young
Girl.

OGDEN, Sept. 5. Especial. VIII
Driver, son of one of Ogden's most
prominent citizens, was this morning ar
rested by Sheriff Loveland of Box Elder
county, and Sheriff Belnap on a charge
of assault with intent to commit rape
upon Olive Hanson, 17-year-old girl of
Brigham City. The young man was
taken back to Brigham, where he was
held in bonds to await preliminary
hearing.
The complaint alleges that Driver,
while out riding with the girl attempted
to commit the crime named and was pre-
vented by the girl who managed to es-
cape and raised an alarm. Driver has
been attending to some business interests
of his fathers in Brigham City for some
time past.
Members of his family are confident of
acquittal upon preliminary hearing and
the young man himself declares his en-
tire innocence.

THE GRAVES SUICIDE.
An Attempt to Disguise the Fact That He
Took His Own Life.

DENVER, Sept. 5.-The coroners jury,
in the case of DR.. Graves, reported that
judging from letters the deceased left be-
hind him, he committed suicide, but that
from the testimony introduced the jurors
were unable to determine whether it was
a natural death or suicide. There
is an evident attempt to disguise
the fact that the doctor took his
our lie. Acting upon the request of Mrs.
Graves, the board of county Commission
ers will take no action lathe request of
the doctor. That the expense OF the
Transporting of his body east, together
with his wife, mother and servant be paid
by Arapahoe county. Mrs. Graves did
not want to be placed in the position of
receiving charity from the county.

inform Congress that the apprehended
evils which produced the panic existed
only in the imagination OF bond holders,
bankers and their newspaper organs who
had created the present distress for their
own selfish and sordid purposes.
There is an honest remedy, he said, for
the present condition, and that is to re-
store silver. If that cannot be done to
utilize the silver in the treasury by issu-
ing silver certificates. The dishonest
remedy to relieve distress is to pass re-
peal bill; ratify and sanctify the Infamous
act OF 1873, thus fastening a perpetual
gold standard upon the country. The
creditor class had already doubled the
value of gold, and by SO doing had doubt
ed the obligations of debtors. This was
revolutionary. 1t was dangerous for cap
ital to engage in revolution, and he ap-
pealed to the Senate today to listen to the
voice of the people and to turn deaf ear
to a subsidized press and bankers petit
tons extorted from their trembling
debtors.
It was the duty of every Senator who
loves his country, said Mr.. Stewart, to
resist by every parliamentary means the
perpetration of great wrong which
would be done if the repeal bill passed.
The great journals of New York say,
''Vote first, debate afterwards We
notify them now that the fort occupied
by defenders of the people will never be
surrendered, said Stewart, that the
armies of avarice, fraud and deception
must take it if they can"
At $40 Mr.. Stewart had exhausted his
typewriter manuscript. He said he did
not know whether he could finish his
speech tonight, and went on: ''If our
friends,'' said the white haired silver adj
vocate, twill for one session throw off
English influences, what change would
result?''
Before the Nevada senator had finished
Mr.. Morgan, Democrat of Alabama,
moved that the Senate go into executive

for and by a vote of 80 yeas to IS nays the
