Of Commander in Chief Weissert's singing
Telegram to OlNeil, Of Massachusetts,, by
asserting that he was candidate for re-

Republic, which the soldier haters never
fail to show. Every tolerably Informed man
knows that it is the, unwritten law Of the
Order that no Commandments Chief shall be
reelected. There are so many comrades in
the Order worthy of the great honor that 1t
would be unfair to them to bestow it twice
upon the same man.
It has been the furthest from Commander

slider the possibility of such thing He is
making q most acceptable Commander-in-
Chief, and winning golden opinions wher-
ever he goes His popularity increases with
every visit he makes. The comrades are
more than satisfied with him, but he has no
other thought than, when his term of Office
has expired, to retire upon the honors he
has won, as his predecessors have done
before him.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-There was a little de-
lay in the calling to order of the second
days session Of the silver convention, and
it was whispered among the delegates that
there had been trouble in securing funds
for the continuance of the convention.
AS soon as Chairman Thurman called
the body to order this morning, J. s.
Dougherty of Texas. in a voice that could
be heard to the roof. moved that the roll
Of states be called for the appointment of
a committee to devise a plan and consider
ways and means for impressing upon Con-
gress the ruin and peril now threatening
all our material interests by the demoneti-
zation Of silver. He claimed that the pro-
ceedings of the convention were not being
fully reported to the country. and need ex-
listed for immediate resolution.
Several objections were made on technical
grounds and General Warner announced
that the committee on resolutions would
fully cover the subject.
patch of greeting from the Knights Of
Labor of st. Louis was read. 1t stated that
Assembly had adopted resolutions for the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver at the
ratio of is to 1.
This was received with applause.
Ex-senator Hill Speaks.
The committee on resolutions not being
ready to report. ex-senator Hill Of Colo
RADIO was introduced to the convention and
spoke at length. He referred to the depres-
sion that had existed in agricultural and
labor circles with short intervals since
1873 and to the money riots and other
troubles in this country that had marked
this period
Western Europe was also completely
honeycombed with revolutionary ideas and
secret conspiracies. the outcome of which
could not well be foreseen. All profits, he
held. had been wiped out by the existing
business depression. These profits were a
natural stimulus to business and how
could II otherwise happen than that an alb

sence of profits with q fall in prices should
result in stagnation and unparalleled de-
preston.
The ex-senator continued that the gold
standard countries were in an abyss of
century as result of their present condi-
ton of prices. while the silver standard
countries were comparatively prosperous.
The amount of money now locked up and
hidden away was more than double all the
gold in the country. The silver men with all
cheerfulness would aQuiesce in any inter-
national arrangement that promised to re-
store bl-metallic conditions to what they
were before 1873.
He criticised the men who were incapable

Continuing. ex-senator Hill said: TT is
not western Europe which is the master
OF the situation, but the United States.
We have had bimetallic currency since
the hrst settlement Of America by the
bimetallic. In the Constitution of our pres
ent national government, now more than a

undoubtedly In favor of the continuing in
the old way. At all events, we will, by
maintaining our double standard law. make
the old way by keeping our mints always
open to all Corners for the coinage of gold
at the ratio to silver of to 16."
But IL western Europe perseveres in
measures which raise the value of gold to
such a height that it flows away from us
because we cannot retain 1t in monetary
use without intolerablc sacrifices. and II
silver becomes at last our sole metallic
money 1t Is this country which will be car

all the past, and 1t is western Europe

Ex-senator Hill concluded amid loud
cheers, and Immediately Delegate Pearse of
Colorado Springs was on his feet with a
resolution setting forth that the delegates
to the convention do not sit here to approve
Of any agreement affecting the free COIN
age of silver at to l6."
There was something more to the resolu-
ton, but Chairman Thurman squelched II
under the rule by which all resolutions go
to committee, and MIR. Pearse was ruled
out.
The committee on resolutions being still
out. the talking was resumed and Congress-
man Francis Newlands of Nevada was pre-
scented.

Fined for His Talk to the Omcer.

The circumstances attending the arrest
OF John j. Leonard. for an alleged second
offense under the liquor law were ventilated
in the Police Court today. Leonard, as
heretofore published in The Star, served
several days in Jail after his first convfc-
ton. and 1t was only a short while after
his release that Sergt Daley went to serve
the second ofense warrant on him. Leon
ard objected to being arrested, and direct
ed volley of profane words at the officer,
among other things calling him -
perjurer."
This language was continued on the
street, and was renewed in the station
house There it wac stated the officer call
ed Leonard Jail bird" and locked him
up.
Leonard said that he did not use any
profanity on the street, but he admitted
that he said something out of the way in
the station.
Lawyer Smith. for the defendant, argued
that his client was being prosecuted, and
that he ought not be fined, but Judge Tay-
lor took a different view Of the case, and
imposed fine of S. In the liquor case. a
jury trial was demanded, and the court

DEFIED HIS CAPTAIN.
A Sailor Charged With Disobedfence
on Trial Before Judge Cole.

An interesting question was raised before
Judge Cole in Criminal Court No. this
morning in the case of James Niles, a col
ored seaman on the schooner Rhode Island,
against whom an Information was filed by
District Attorney Birney charging him
with refusing to obey the orders Of the CON-
mander of the vessel on the 2ith of last
month, when the vessel was in the Chesa-
peake bay bound for Georgetown. The
prisoner was first charged in the Police
Court. but there the court decided there
was a want OF jurisdiction. Whereupon an
information was filed in the Criminal Court.
Messrs. Albright and Martin, represent
ing the prisoner when the case was called
demurred to the information. alleging that
the court was without jurisdiction. They
contended that. while IL was true that a
district or circuit court of the United States
had jurisdiction over offenses committed on
the high seas, the Supreme Court Of the
District of Columbia was neither dis
trict nor a circuit court within the meaning
therefore as the alleged offense was com
mitted upon the high seas beyond the terri
tory of the District, the courts of the Dis
t-ict We're without jurisdiction.
Mr.. Birney said that the fact that the
courts Of the District did not possess Juris-
diction in such case seemed SO plain to
him that argument on his part appeared
continuous one, and Georgetown being the
point of destination of the vessel, IL was
right ana proper tnat tne DlSlrlc- supreme
Court, through its Criminal Branch, should
have jurisdiction.
Judge Cole said the District Supreme
Court undoubtedly possessed the 1urisdic-
ton of circuit and district courts. and il
appeared to him that although the offense
alleged was committed upon the high seas
without the territory of the District, the
Criminal Court possessed ample jurisdiction
In the matter. He would so hold for the
present at least, although the testimony
might show differently.
Counsel for the prisoner thereupon de-
manded a jury trial, but when Judge Cole
informed them that no jury could be had
before next October. the demand was with
drawn and a recess taken until 1 O'Clock
At the continuation of the trial this after
noon the captain, mate and steward of the
vessel testified that Niles, when told TO take
his turn at the wheel refused to do SO. Civ
Ing as an excuse that his leg was bad, and
that when the captain told the man that he
must do as ordered Niles threatened TO cut
the captains bowels out. Niles and two
shtpmates testified that the prisoner was
suffering from bad sore on his leg and
that he refused because he was unable to
do duty.

Prices Went Up and Remained Firm
Despite a Selling Movement.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, Aug. Q, 1893.
Cables came higher again this morning and.
as on yesterday, they were accompanied by
orders to buy stocks, and followed by the an
nouncement that about $500, 900 additional
gold had been purchased for shipment to
America.
The street came to the ,clusion owe
night that the bursting of the pork bubble in
in Chicago would not create the generalization
1t had been led to expect from the tone of the
alarming dispatches received from the windy
city yesterday afternoon.
The decision of several Of the largest national
banks to increase their circulation and their
latest proposition to take $4,000, 600 of the
bonds held by the savings banks of this city as
basis for further issues of notes was regarded
as very important by Wall street, and helped
materially the better feeling, which was empha-
sized at the opening of the stock market this
morning. first prices being anywhere from a
to per cent; Manhattans opening price being
11U against LOG last evening.
There some hesitation after the opening,
as it was thought that too much steam had
been expended by the first buyers. but 1t soon
developed that the market was still in an over
sold condition and the wants of the bears be.
came urgent, and when lenders of stocks re-
fused to accommodate them without exacting
shave Of 1-S2 to SIG thew became thoroughly
alarmed and some lively running was wit
messed.
As on yesterday, telegraph and sugar were
the special features in both activity and
strength. though sugar bore the honors, OPEN
ing at 67s67a and selling up to 70, with
scarcely q reaction worth speaking of. Chi
cago Gas, Lake Shore, Northwest and Lacka-
wanna followed closely in point of activity. the
latter making one OF its sensational O-point
rallies on comparatively light trading.
The pace became too rapid for the more
conservative of the commission houses and the
more prominent room traders detecting the
withdrawal OF their speculative orders to buy
commenced selling the market at 80 pm. for
. reaction.
Notwithstanding efforts Of the reactionists,
market continued to show firm front, though
the volume Of trading was not SO large, and at
2:3O prices were firm at substantial advances all
along the line, though at slight concessions
from extreme advances.
Money on call opened at per cent aud
ruled easy all day, loaning as low as 2 per cent.
Foreign exchange demoralized, sumping to
4S01 Sa4S3, Brown Bros. quoting the extreme
low rate.
Clearing house operations show a debit to
the subtreasury Of S162, 900. Their debit Of
yesterday was paid partly in gold and part in
currency. There was no further applications
for issue Of loan certificates.

ings today were 10000 ounces at prices rang
ing from SOIL to So.7l5o per ounce. All were
declined at that rate and a counter offer of

herence to the policy of not going above the
market price OF the metal calculated by
treasury experts.
