sILVERITEs TO MEET.
BimetalIic Convention to Be
Called at Once.


NEW YORK, June 3O.-Gen. A. j.
Warner, president of the bimetallic
league, came up from Washington this
afternoon and held conference with
Senator j. p. Jones, of Nevada. who
is stopping at the Grand hotel, on the
monetary outlook. The announcement
that congress will hold an extra session
Aug. makes 1t necessary for the
OlmetalllStS to come together, and
after long discussion OH the
subject, 1t was decided TO call conven-
ton of the bimetailic league to be held
some time prior to the date fixed for the
extra session of congress. 1t will
probably be about the middle of July.
No place for the convention has vet
been agreed upon, but both Chicago aud
81. Louis are mentioned, and Gen.
Warner said tonight that he favored the
latter. After the conference reporter
saw both Mr.. Warner and Senator
Jones. Gen. Warner was asked to ex-
press himself on the present condition
OF the silver question, and said:
we have now arrived at the most
critical period OF the century. In fact,
consider the present movement
with regard to silver the most impor-
tant economic revolution in all his
tory. 1t is a life and death
struggle, not only for bimetallism. but
for metallic money. If binetuiliom
goes, recommendation will also 90, and
the principle of the automatic reguIa-
ton OF money-that is to say, it's
regulation through the prOduc-
tionn of the mineS-wiil come
TO an end. Bimetallists favor the
retention of both gold and silver at a
parity, buttat what ratio can be deter
mined only after both are admitted to
monetary use on equal terms. If after
that has been done the United States
cannot maintain the parity OF l6 to l,
the ratio can be changed, as it has be
fore"
At this point Senator Jones added:
"lt the gold producers and the income
and creditor classes conspire in their
interests to destroy the automatic
system by the demonstration of
one of the metals, and that
the only one of the met
ais that promises a supply sutfi-
cient to maintain equity of contracts
and stability of prices, and to prevent a
destructive rise i'll the value of the unit
of money, it need not be matter of
surprise if the producing classes and
the debtors in turn unite to serve the
other metal in the same way"

worse, upon mere suspicion. Maryland.

A REMINDER OF M'KlNLEY.

Today the tax of four cents a pound
on pig tin, provided for in the MCKIN-
LEY act, goes into effect. This tax was
laid for the announcement of a lot of
English spectators who had been
gulled by sharp Yankees into a belief
that there was tin galore in the hills
about Harvey Peak and the San Jacinto
mountains, and had been persuaded to
exchange their yellow guineas for stock
Ill the companies formed by the Yam
KEGS to exploit the mines. The Harvey
Peak company never succeeded i'll do
ing anything but spend lot of good
English money in building mills and
piling up lot of dirt on the dumps;
but the Temescal company did get out
some twenty or thirty tons of tin at
cost of dollar pound before it decid-
ed that 1t had been unmercifuIiY sailed.
1t did contribute something, though, to
the humor Of the campaign of 1890 by
supplying r publican clubs with tin
plates with which to adorn their pat
riotic breasts, bearing the inscription
Made From Ohio Steel and California
Tin Incidentally, ii afforded Nal. Nc
KINLEY the opportunity to indulge in
that bit of mellow drama at PiQua.
But the mines and mills at Harvey
Peak and Temescal are deserted, and
the Straits continue, with the aid of
Wales, to supply US with our tin, which,
after tomorrow, will cease to come in
untaXed. One-fifth of its value will
then be added to its cost to the importer.
The average consumption of the coun-
try for seven years prior to 1899 was 2S,-
100000 pounds annually. Last year 49,
90S652 pounds were imported. The re-
turns of last year and this show the
etfectof large and speculative increase
in anticipation of an increase of duty,
there having been imported for the ten
months of this fiscal year ending April
80, fl, S33, 3SI pounds. This averages
about 10000 pounds a month, but in
April the receipts we're Z, 446. 0S6 pounds.
showing the force of the speculative
movement.
So utterly useless was this tax seen
to be towards furthering its purpose of
making more costly the supposed nat
ural deposits in this country that the
house, with practical unanimity, passed
bill repeating it at the last session; but
the senate dOggedly stood by its shat
tered idol and smotheied the bill. AS a
result, the consumers of pig tin, and in
the end the consumers of the articles
made from it, will have to pay four
cents pound on not only that which
may come in before the law is repealed,
but on that watch has been brought in
in anticipation OF the tax.

RELIEF IN SIGHT.

The announcement that the president
has decided to call congress to assemble
in special session and has fixed the date
of assembling for Aug. Z, will be hailed
with glad relief by all parties. Even
the Republicans. who might be sup
posed to look with dread OH the assem-
bling of congress pledged to cut pro-
lection out of the tariff, have mad their
dread so tempered by their experience
of the results of their own dScal legisla-
ton that they, too, rejoice in the pros
poets of speedy relief from the fell in
huence of the SHERMAN act Thus is it
ever that the rough winds are tempered
to the shOrn lambs, and the sweets of
consolation are distilled from the bitter
waters of adversely.
There has been something OF basis
for the suppoSition that the president
was unwilling to call congress together
until he was assured that it would re-
peal the SHERMAN act without insisting
on replacing it with something as bad
or worse. The intimation g ven the
New York bankers by Secretary CAR
Isle that the rough jolting of that act
would be beneficial in reducing the
financial delirium of the slverites
doubtless expressed the presidents
views.
1t has had no such effect, however, on
BLAND, and we may expect that he Will
try to rally again his following to force
the passage of a free coinage bill. He
will be supported IN this by the repre-
Sentatives in the silver states, by the
POpuliSts, and by much diminished
number of Democrats from districts
where the money famine has brought
people infected with the free coinage
mania to their senses. 1t is probable
that bill of repeal will pass, leaving
further action TO Dc presented i'll other
measures. 1t has been felt with reason
that there is more to fear from the sem
ate than the house. There are more
men in that Ooiy holding stock in silver
mining companies, and the silver states
have a propOrtionately larger repre-
sentatiOn there than in the house.
But whether the president has be-
come certain of support sufficient to
repeal the act or not, he has done his
duty i'll calling congress in session and
leaving with it, where it belongs, the
responsibility of acting. The country
can be assured of one thing, however,
that if there should be enough Demo-
Gratis to pass any financial measure
which will threaten the welfare of the
country, the president will veto it; and
there will not be in this congress, as
tharp was i'm 1873 a tyvO-thirdS IN aiOritv
to pass it over his head, as the BLAND
ALLISON bill was passed over the head
of President HAYES.

Train Robber.
WICHITA, Kan, June 3o.-The lone
highwayman who attempted to rob the
Santa Fee passenger train at Wharton
yesterday and who was captured by
Conductor Gleason and put in Jail here,
is boy only sixteen years old. He told
the sheriff last night that he met a gang
of four men at Scven-Mile Flats in the
Chickasaw nation one day and they told
him OF a scheme TO rob the Saute Fe
train, and told him that he had to
help them under penalty of death. They
told him he must go on the Sante Fee train
on June 80, aud when it approached
Black Bear creek he must cover the
conductor and stop the train, but that
they would do the rest All this work
was imposed upon him under bullet
orders" as he calls it, and he was afraid
to disobey. He says he made a mistake
OF one day i'll carrying out his orders.
He thought yesterday was the 30th, and
carried out his part of the programme.
He says the leader of the gang under
whose orders he was working was Bill
Dalton; two of the others were Bill An
\dersOn and Arthur Gage respectively.
while the fourth man was a native of
Fort Gibson, whose name he did not
know. Ii this story is true the other
robbers are due at Black Bear creek
today, and they may be caught. Several
officers are on their way to the scene
now.
