Washington. Dec. 15.-The confer
ence of the leading silver men of the
country to devise means for continuing
the fight for free silver was opened to-
day. Among those present were Cen
erals Weaver ana Fields, of Iowa;
Stewart, of Nevada; Kalb of Alabama;
Moreton Frewen. a British authority
on bimetalism, and General Master
Workman Sovereign. About fifty in all
were present, representing the bone and
sinew of the silver movement.
General Weaver says the conference
will probably last several days and be
a very thorough canvass of the situa-
tlon. The conference is being held with
closed doors.
The possibilities of a new political
party. with free silver coinage as the
sole plank OF the platform, was among
the developments at tOday'S secret ses-
sion of the silver leaders. The day
was devoted to expressions of opinion
OF representatives from different states.
Ihey we're uniformly to the effect that
the working people and farmers were
dissatisfied with the course of Congress
IN repeating the purchase clause Of the
Sherman act.
Senators Jones and Stewart. Master
workman Sovereign, of the knights of
Labor, and National Lecturer WHITE
mead, were among the speakers of the
afternoon. S--S
During the address of Senator Jones
an interesting colloquy occurred be-
tween him and Master Workman Sow
erelgn. The latter suggested that when
the labor ranks had assisted toward
securing free silver, there should he
reciprocity by which the silver lead
ers would assist in securing labor re-
Jones contended that all labor oues-
tons were merged in the money cues
ton, and its solution would settle them
ALL 80
Sovereign and the Senator at last
met on common ground in agreeing
that the silver question be made the
paramount isue of all labor and indus
| trial organizations
| Frequent references made during the
speeches today Of the necessity Of or
ganizing a silver party, made up of
the elements heretofore gathered under
the standards of the Populfsts. Ma
tional Grange. Knights Of Labor. Far
mer's Alliance, etc.
The tendency of the conference is
towards this new organization. The
probability is the first effort of the
united forces will be exerted to carry
the congressional elections next fall.
1t is undecided whether this will be
! done by nominating Independent silver
candidates for Congress or by endOrs-
ling such candidates of the old parties
who have shown by their records they
favor silver. 1t is the belief of those
ATTENDING the conference that a ma
tional silver ticket will be put in the
field, as result of the present meet
/ ing and the hope to achieve victories
| in the congressional elections.
Senator Jones said at the close of the
conference that this new national
party was among the strong probabili-
ties Of the meeting.

a MIG SUIT DECIDED.
The Verdict Contrary to the Judges
Instructions.

| Butte, Dec. ia suit of consider
able Importance to that class of mining
men who lease property was decided
| by a jury in the district court here this
morning, but the verdict was CON
/ trary to the INSTRUCTIONS Iof Judge
Speer, being rendered in favor Of the
defendant.
| The material instruction was in sf-
feet that a lease Of the character at
| issue created a community Of interest,
and that the rights of the lessor were
| to be equally protected with
those OF the lessee, and that the equity
terms of the lease, as relating to the
mine, could not be subordinated to the
personal advantage of the lessee to en-
nance the profits of an individual en-
terprise such as the smelter.
| The case was that Of James A. Muir
ray, a wealthy mine owner. against
F. Augustus Heinze, who branched out
| in the mining and sIhslting business
here about two years ago. About a
year ago Murray leased the Estella
mine, a property rich in copper and sill
yer, the stipulations of the agreement
being that Murray should receive 90
per cent of the net product Of the mine
| with copper at five cents per pound,
and 80 per cent. of the silver. based on
the market value. Heinze was to per-
form certain work in and about the
| MINE anu murray was " Pay AA1AA4 81 =
ton for concentrating the ore.
Heinze worked the property seven
months, during which time he extract
ed $112,000 worth Of ore, but by concern
ltrating the waste ore together sue
ceeded in bringing Murray out in debt
to him two months out Of the seven
and giving him only small margin
during the other five months. Heinze
had a years lease on the property, but
when Murray discovered the kind Of a
deal he was getting he brought suit to
annul the lease. served an injunction
to prevent Heinze from doing further
work in the mine, and followed both
with another suit for $4,000 damages
The latter is yet to be levied. The suit
to annuI the lease lasted seventeen
days and was stubbornly fought by
both sides from beginning to the finish.
| C. S. Batterman, of Colorado, was
Eamong the expert witnesses for the
Idefense. Heinze has worked several
LEASES in the district, the owners claim,
in the same manner as he has the Muir

TT FAIRLY RAINED LEAD.
Great Damage Done to the City of
Rio.

New York, Dec. 15.-The Herald's
Buenos Ayres, Dec. Is. special: The
Herald's correspondent at Rio sends
word that on the night of Dec. 10, the
city was thrown into by storm of
shot and shell which lasted fifty min
utes. The missiles came from the rifles
and rapid firing guns on Cobras island,
and fell all over the city. but especial
ly in Carioca, Pavadrila and Traves
streets, and on other points where the
theatres are situated. The play houses
were just being emptied of throngs
of patrons and the effect was tremen-
.dous. Scared women fled, shrieking,
for shelter. This was the result of the
attack made from the shore upon the
island by Peixoto's troops, to which
Gama's island batteries were not slow
in responding. The houses on the wa
ter front were much damaged by the
aeaden shower, but the number of
casualties Is unknown. 1t IS stated the
attacking force of Peixotos men suffer
ed heavy losses, as did also the island
garrison, but accurate figures could
not be procured.
The usual firing between the forts
and Nictheroy is not allowed to flag.
The Worlds special from Buenos
Ayres of the 18th says: Terrific bonn
harding is reported in the harbor of
Rio De Janeiro today. Many persons
were killed.

He said his name was Frank Easton,
and he confessed to a successful bur-
glary committed in San Francisco q
few weeks ago. The detectives saw

He said:
about three weeks ago he met an
other colored man in San Francisco.
The latter planned the burglary and
a mans house on Suffer street was Sc
lected. I did not care to take part in
the burglary, but was threatened with
death unless I did so. On the night of
the burglary I attempted to back out,
but my accomplice made me get
through the window at the point of a
revolver. Once inside the house, I ran
sacked almost every room in it. I got
through the window to escape, but my
accomplice was nowhere to be found.
Having the jewelry and the precious
stones in my possession Immediately
left San Francisco coming directly to
Chicago"
An expert jeweler and diamond dealer

at $3.50; three opals. $500 each; two dia-
mond studs $500 each; pair Of cuff but

Washington, Dec. 15.lThe course of
events in the House today resembled
the halcyon days of Reed in Congress,
at a galloping speed.
The bill for the admission of Arizona
was put through under whip and spur,
and the bill for the admission of New
Mexico was well under way when a
wrangle over what was to be done with
Oklahoma interviewed and the debate
lasted until the adjournment.
The bulk Of the eastern opposition
to the admission of the territories as
expressed by Bingham, of Phiiadel-
phia, is predicated on the theory that
while the eastern states, rich in wealth
and strong in population, would be
able to hold their own in the House
where the basis of representation was
on population, the influence of the
great states Of the Union would be
overbalanced by the greatly increased
state representation in the Senate
Hepburn, Of Iowa, raised an objec-
ton to the clause in the Arizona bill
giving four sections in every range a
total of 100000 acres.
OI AIlZOtd, interrupted, de-
clared that Arizona would get just what
Iowa got
This Hepburn denied Even if it
had, Iowa had 100000 inhabitants.
To the suggestion that people would
leave Iowa TO go to Arizona, Hepburn
simply moved his hand contemptu-
ously. t.'ftf
'The idea that people would go from
Iowa out to that arid country is pre-
posterous, said he. 81 went out there
once and never saw a green thing
unless he added, 'ft wore breeches
Qaughter).
Bowers. of California, in a heated
reply, drew graphic picture OF the
valleys of Arizona, more fertile, he
declared, than the plains of the Nile
In five years he predicted the popula-
ton of Arizona would be increased
over four-fold
Very few amendments were adopted.
One increasing the grant Of lands to
state institutions, one hundred thous-
and acres each to the insane asylum
penitentiary, deaf and dumb asylum
and $4,000 acres to the hospital for
disabled miners was adopted
Motions to consolidate the judicial
districts of Utah and Arizona and re-
duce the salary of federal judges were
defeated.
The Republicans generally did moi
refrain from voting on the final pas
sage of the bill. although many voted
against it
The motion was carried-1S5 to 81,
and the bill for the admission of Ari-
IONA passed

THE NIcARAGuAN CANAL
Reasons Why the Government
Should own 1t Are Urged.

Washington. Dec 15.-The House
committee on Interstate and foreign
commerce, after listening to arguments
by Senator'S Morgan, of Alabama. and
Frye, OF Maine, reported favorabIy the
JOINT resolution Of Representative Doo-
little of Washington, for the apuoint-
ment Of joint commission. consisting
or three senators and six members. ia
investigate the present status of the
Nicaragua canal project
Senator Morgan recjted at length the
past history of the enterprise and IFS
struggle to obtain governments rec
ognition. He thought the time had
come when we should decide whether
the United States would aid the pro-
Jectcr or abandon it altogether. He
declared that the world is determined
to have the canal and if the United
States would not build it some other
nation would. He pointed out the adj
vantages of the control Of the canal
by the United States and earnestly
hoped the resolution would be adopted.
Senator Frye also spoke warmly in
favor of the resolution, and stated
that the government which controls
the Nicaragua canal would also CON
troll the Hawaiian islands. and that it
would be useless for this country to
annex those islands unless the control
Lof the canal was assured

VERY CRANKY FEMALES.
They nre Making Themselves the
Laughing Stock of Utah.


Laughing Stock of Utah.
Washington. Dec 15.-The bill for
the admission of Utah will probably
be opposed in the Senate by its old an
tagonist, the Ladies Home Missionary
society, which is seeking an oppor-
tunity to be heard by the Senate com
mittee on territories.
The members of this society take ex-
ception to the statements which have
been made very freely by the adyo-
Gates of the bill that polygamy is dead
in Utah, and say they have positive
information that the contrary is the
case. They have obtained this infor-
nation from the missionaries scattered
throughout that territory The infor-
nation is to the effect that the prac-
tice is not carried on as openly as for
merly, but in places remote from the
towns and centers of habitation there
IS little or no abatement in the custom.
They also say that in the towns and
cities there is a covert observation of
the old doctrine, and that everywhere
among the Mormon people there is q
feeling in favor of polyganly, just as
strong as in the palmiest DAYS of Nor
moniSm. and that where this feeling Is
suppressed at all it is only done he
cause of fear Of the federal authorities.
The ladies argue that if the territory
should be admitted as a state and ire
authority removed, the Mormons world
control the state organization and il
would be a short time only before
polygamy would again be openly taught
ana practiced as one of the tenets of
the Mormon people. =
The society embraces large member
ship in the Presbyterian, Congrega-
tional and Methodist churches

Stevens Says They are All on File

Boston, Dec. 15.-Ex- Minister John
L. Stevens made the following self-ex-
planatory statement today:
Regarding the dispatch to Secre-
tary Blaine signed by me and publish
ed by the Associated Press yesterday
morning. probably no answer was ever
received by me and probably none was
ever written. Doubtless Blaine thought
standing instructions and usages of le-
cation, of which / then had CHARGE, es-
pecially Secretary Bayard's dispatch
to Minister Merrill of July 2, 1887, were
sufficient for my guidance, thus throw
ing on the American representatives
at Honolulu the responsibility Of deal
ing with the facts and emergencies as
to which they could judge more &C
curately than Washington officials. All
official dispatches received by me DUR
ing my residence in Honolulu are duly
| numbered and are on file in the lega-
ton at Honolulu

court held that the grant was a grant
by quantity amounting to an area of d
little more than seven and a half sidias

had been entirely satisfied within the
Mexican republic, and that conse-
Iquently the claimants had no cause oil
