HELENA, Mont, July Gin con-
formIty with the call issued a week ago
for a silver conference, 800 delegates,
representing every county in the state,
met here today. While the silver min
ing industry had a good representation,
the majority of the members are en-
gagged in mercantile business and stock
growing. The banking interests had a
full representation, every bank in the
state, with one or two exceptions, hav-
ing a delegate present. The most
prominent men in the state, including
Congressman Hartmann, Senator Power.
ex-senator Sanders, Senator-elect
Lee Mantle, Lieut.. Gov. Botkin,
Marcus DAILY, S. L. Hauser and Martin
Magtnnis were present, and took an
active part in the conference. The
meeting vas called to order by Martin
Maginnis, of MissOula, who explained
in a few words the objects of the confer

the conference to discuss the silver
question, as every mau in the state was
of the same opinion on the subject. The
conference was called, he said, to organ-
lZe the silver forces in Montana, and to
arrange them so they would have the
proper moral effect. After recess the
committee on permanentorganiZatlon re-
ported, recommending that an ASSOCIATION
be formed to be known as the Montana
Free Coinage association. Marcus DAILY
was elected permanent chairman and
president of the association; James B.
Lehigh, secretary; Barnard Brown, as
slstant secretary, and William E. Hall,
of Butte, treasurer. An executive COM
mittee Of seven, consisting of s. I.
Hauser, John r. Toole, E. G. Mackay,
Thomas w. Hart, John Caplice, w. w.
Anderson and Thomas G.. Marshall, was
also elected. This committee was clothed
with power to call a meeting to fill all
vacancies, and generally to direct all
movements of the association; also to
name delegates to the bimetallic league
convention at Chicago, and to appoint a
committee, if it saw necessary, to attend
the extra session of congress.
At the Night session the committee on
resolutions reported. The resolutions
were quite lengthy. They declare that,
having full knowledge of the premises,
we declare it to be our deliberate opin-

WARNER HAS HOPES.
He Thinks India Will Soon Be
Buying Silver.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-'.What of the
night?" said a reporter to Gen. A. j.
Warner. president of the American BIZ
metallic league. Gen. Warner said:
II see that the legislative council
of India has decided Ito receive
sovereigns at the treasury of India
without limit in exchange for
rupeeS, but not Bank of England note S,
The council has also carefully abstained
from making gold a legal tender. If
they should do st Europe would rapidly
be drained of its gold to settle balances
due to India. The policy, therefore, is
simply to sell council bills, which are
drafts on the Indian treasury for ru-
PEGS. for gold, and then to buy silver on
government account at the ratio fixed
i'll council, and from this silver coin ru-
PEGS with which to meet any excess of
draftse over the tax collections of
the Indian treasury. We may look for
purchases of silver on account of the
Indian government at any time. In
fact, that government has adopted a
sort of Bland law, excepting that it
has fixed the ratio at 21H for convert
ing rupees into silver. Ii the mints of
he West remain closed for any length
of time silver will rise, as the result of
purchases by our government and on
account of India"
Questioned as to the alleged purpose
of the silver convention, which is to
meet in Chicago Aug. 1 to pass a resolu-
ton %favoring the denomination of
gold, MIR. Warner said:
Il know nothing of IA purpose to in
troduce such a bill. If the gold mono.
metallists insist on a subversion of BIZ
metallism by demonetizing the only
metal which can be produced in suffi-
cient quantities to maintain stable rela-
tons between money, supply, popula-
ton Il business, and if they persist in
their evident intention to destroy the
automatic regulation of money through
the mines they need not be surprised at
a spontaneous movement to demonetiZe
the other metal and transfer the control
OF money from the mines to legislation"

course, always to be preferred for the

may be made cool in appearance by

A bowl of Ice and a Jug Of water and
