SECOND DAYS PROCEEDINGS.

Resolutions Adopted FavOring the Free
Coinage of Silver.
KErcHUM, Idaho, Aug 15.-The silver
convention met again this afternoon.
The resolution committee reported and
their report was adopted, as follows:
To the People of the United States:
The national congress is now assembled
in extraordinary session, having been
summoned to meet for the purpose of
providing remedy for the extraordi-
nary business conditions which have for
weeks convulse6 the country. The
financial question is the absorbing
theme of discussion and multitude of
plans are being put forth for changing
the status of silver in our monetary
system. In this crisis of our financial
history the people of the state of Idaho.
through their duly accredited delegates
assembled in state convention, promul-
gate to the world their abiding belief
that no final settlement of this great
question can be effected until congress
shall restore the law providing for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio to gold of Is to 1. In support
of this belief we submit the following
facts for the consideration of our fell
low citizens, asking that they be care
fully weighed by all who desire that
the principles of right and justice shall
be stamped upon the fiscal legislation
Of the country. We know we are right
and we believe that every sincere man
who will clear his mind of prejudice
and examine the subject logically will
share our belief upon this all-important
issue.
1t is very generally admitted that
gold alone does not constitute a sufh
ciently broad basis to sustain the vast
structure of credit which represents
the trade and industry of the world.
This point is so we'll established that no
argument is needed to sustain it. 1t is
voiced all over our eastern states, and
even by great financial and political
leaders in the United Kingdom, and yet,
strange as it appears, multitudes of the
American people, rendered desperate
by situation which they do not under

Gerhard WarSOn wounded and Rancher
Fishers Eyesight Destroyed.
SPOKANE, Aug. "A sensational
shooting scrape, which deprived one
man of his eyesight, sent another to bed
with bullet wound in the arm and
lodged the third in the county Jail, oc-
Cured yesterday morning at the home
of Rancher Fisher, about nine miles
southeast of the city, on Hangman
creek
Early Sunday morning John Bilfor,
stonemason, and Gerhard Warson,
contractor, started down Hangman
creek grouse hunting, each carrying a
shotgun. When about nine miles out
they met Mr.. Fisher, the owner of the
ranch, who ordered them from the
premises. Angry words passed between
them, but the two hunters started of
and a quarter of a mile away came
upon Fishers house. The rancher was
there and came out with a Winchester
He ordered the hunters TO turn back,
and when they refused Fisher and War
son fred at each other. Warson was
struck by bullet in the arm.
Fisher then fired at Bilfor, but missed
him. Bilfor ordered Fisher not to re-
load, and, as he attempted to do so,
fired, the birdshot striking the rancher
in the face and neck. Fisher had lost
the sight Of one eye some years ago,
and he is now totally blind. Fisher
staggered and fell and the two hunters
ran down the road and came into Spo-
kane through the woods, Warson going
to his home, where a surgeon was called
in, and Bilfor giving himself up to the
police.
Blood poisoning having set IN it is i'm
possible for Fisher to recover.

The Lumber District Swept by Destruo-
tive Flames.
MINNEAPoLIs, Aug. 13.-Two fires, pre-
sumably the work of incendiaries, de-
stroyed over $1,000, 900 worth of prop
erty this afternoon. The fires broke
out within short time of each other.
The first fire broke out in a stable in
the rear of the Cedar Lake Ice COM
pany's warehouses and soon spread to
the ice house proper. From there,
famed by quick breeze, it spread to
Clark's box factory and then destroyed
the boiler works of Lintzes, ConneIl e.
Co., including a 1927, 900 riveting ma
chine. The Lenhart Union Wagon
works were totally consumed, also a
quantity of lumber belonging to the
various firms. The Cedar Lake Ice
company loses $4,000; the Clark Box
company, 100000; Lintzes, Cornell &
Co., 100000; Union Wagon works,
SIS 900. OF this the total insurance is
about one-half.

] ard ia this couatry
1 Free coinage of silver will enlarge
the volume of basis money; it will stop
the fall of prices and establish them on
a higher plane; it will add to the re-
wards of all who toll: it will increase
wages: it will make the burdens of life
easi,l ia the homes of the masses; it
will make music among the spiudles; it
will put thanksgiving in the hearts and
Songs on the lips of millions; it will
overturu the bondholders' conspiracy
and take the yoke of hopeless poverty
from the necks OF those who
have been ground in the dust be-
meath the wheels of this juggernaut of
gold. Moreover, we want to say to
those VINO own factories that are stand
ing idle that free and unlimited coinage
Of silver would al once create a new
and almost boundless market for them.
Free coinage in the United States at
ratio Of 16 to would at once bring a
food of orders for goods from Latin
in exchange would be done away with.
This trade would amount to tens of mil
lions of dollars annually. 1t would
permanently turn the general balance
of trade in our favor and would oblige
Europe to pay its balance to us in gold.
While drawing the silver of Mexico we
would draw the gold of England and
the bimetallic United States would be-
come the money center of the world.
We believe that the United States is
strong enough to decree what The post
tiou of silver in the business of the
world is to be,
We are opposed to any and all COM
promises that the goldbugs are sure to
offer.
We would point out the fact that the
headquarters of the bondholder's con
spiracy against silver is in Great
Britain, evidenced by the recent action |
in India and the pronounced stand |
taken by Gladstone, who stated that |
al the world owed England and de-
handed the payment of debts in gold.
We condemn the doubtful expedient
IF bankers of various cities of issuing
clearing house certificates to help pull
hem out of trouble as an attempt 70
lvert the necessity of free coinage.
We earnestly recommend that con
sress make certificates issued upon
deposits of silver coin to be full legal
tender as the coin is deposited. Recent
vents have emphasized the fact that
he restoration of silver and free and
unlimited coinage at the American
alto Of l6 to l is the paramount issue
'efore the American people and the
PEOPLE of Idaho hereby record their con-
'iction that if congress shall fail to
'ass free coinage law at this session
t will be necessary for all binetallists,
aging all other issues aside, to unite
n political organizations whose sole
i'm it shall be to rectify the disastrous
error committed in the demonstration
.ct of 1873
Many stirring speeches were made
fterward. 1t was resolved to organize
state bimetallic league and a COM
nittee was appointed to draft consti-
ution.

IDAHO'S SILVER MEN
FREE COINAGE DEMANDED AT ONCE
They Want Silver Restored at the Ratio
to Gold of I6 to 1-ResoIutions Re
ported and Adopted.

KETCHUM, Idaho, Aug. 1.-The trair
bearing the delegates of the Idaho sill
yer convention and state press meet
ing was boarded at Bel!eview by a brass
band and delegation. AT Haley
another delegation got aboard. The
town of Ketchum was handsomely deco
rated for the occasion, flags and ever
greens being displayed ia front of bust
ness houses and residences. Great en-
thusiasm prevails among the delegates,
who are very earnest. The state silver
convention was called to order at p.
m. The large hall was packed and
nearly all the counties in the state
were represented. Across the stage
was banner bearing the inscription,
"16 to mo Compromise" The hall
was handsomely decorated.
Governor Mcconnell called the con-
vention to order in a short speech in
the course of which he reiterated his
opposition to any compromise, and
stated that if congress did not do some
thing to relieve the strain all those who
are in favor of free coinage must Join
hands in political party favoring sill
yer and setting every other issue aside.
E. B. True, late democratic candidate
for congress, expressed similar views.
There was some rivalry over the selec-
tion of a temporary chairman, but
Governor Mcconnell was finally chosen.
After an address of welcome by Rev.
Gillette a committee of five on perma-
nent organization was selected with
committee of 10 on resolutions, and the
convention adjourned until tomorrow.
A message from Representative Sweet
was read, which had been promptly
taken up. Unconditional repeal, it said,
is impossible and free coinage seems
more probable.
Senator Shoup telegraphed as fol
lows; The proposition for free silver
coinage grows brighter every day.
recommend strong resolutions and an
earnest appealto congress. Hold meet
ings at all convenient places"
ON. J. DonnellY, delegate from the
Occur d. Alenes, read letter from Sec
rotary Hays of the Knights of Labor
strongly indorsing free coinage and |
urging that western lodges send litera
ture among eastern people.
G. V. Bryan wired that mis- commit
tee was doing good work but Idaho
must send money to assist the cause.
Tonight the citizens of Ketchum are
giving ball and banquet in honor of
the visiting newspaper men. The peo-
pie of the beautiful mountain town are
setting an example in hospitality that
few can keep pace with.

The origin of the fire is a mystery.

the overturning or explosion of lamp
The night clerk had just gone to the
to clean up, preparatory to
leaving his watch, when he heard a
slight noise outside of the office. By the |
