gineer Of the Cold Storage Company. This
was the only body unearthed yesterday.
The rumors that have been frequent Of
ghastly finds being usually based on the
discovery Of piles of wasted meat that had
formerly been stored in the refrigerator.
1t Is known that at least two or three
and possibly half dozen moro bodies
must be yet in tho ruins, as tho Michigan
brewer, the amateur elevator boy and q
Columbian guard are still missing.
1t appears probable that the families of

ties of life. Up to this morning $f2 625
had been subscribed and subscriptions are
still rapidly coming in.
1t is hoped the total may be swelled to
$1OO, 600, az the board OF trade promises

DENVER, July 13.-The silver convention

Delegates were appointed to the st. Louis
and Chicago conventions and to the Gold

The committee on resolutions then pre-

adopted. The report was In the form Of
an address to the people of the United
States. 1t asserts that preceding the call
for the extra session Of congress, the
classes which have struggled for 90 years
to overthrow the bimetallic money stan
dard inaugurated panic which they un-
truthfully charged to the existing silver
law. The report then continuess>
The Sherman law is not the work Of the
silver producing States. IL was forced upon
the country against their Will. Their constant
demand has been that OF agricultural states
OF the west and south and of the working
masses of the whole country. They have not
sought TO impose upon the country
Some New Financial Nostrum,
but have asked simply for the restoration Of
the coinage laws as they were from the first
year of the federal constitution until the
furtive repeal OF 1873.
The Sherman law was the trick by which
that restoration was defeated. IL was ac-
cepted by bimetallists pledge that the old
laws should at some future time be restored,
and they now demand not that the sherman
law shall be retained. but that the hostage
shall be redeemed by the re-enactment in it's
stead of the coinage laws under which the
country grew and prospered for more than
three-quarters of a century.
The charge that the bimetallists demand
that 90 cents be made dollar Is lie. 1t was
the trick OF the single standard conspirators

HERBERT TAKES ACTION.
CsSsS Concerning Navy Yard Command
are Settled.
DECISION OF MUCH IMPORTANCE.

Comm odors Kirkland to Remaip In
Command Of she Navy Yard 1T League
Island, Pa.-Captain Howison Placed In
Command NJ Mare Island. Cal.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-Sscretary Her
bert has taken action In two cases Of i'm
portance concerning navy yard commands.
He has decided to mako permanent the
suspension Of the order of Commodore
Kirkland to take command of the South
Atlantic station and will allow him to re-
main as commandment of the League
Island, Pa, Navy Yard. This will proba-
bly, result In sending Commodore Staunton
to the South Atlantic station. The Secrs-
tary has also issued an order making Cap
Island. CAL. Navy Yard.
The captain has been in temporary. COM
mand there for some time, and IL was full
ly expected that he would be relieved by
a naval officer of the rank of Commodore,
in view of the Importance of the command
and the desirability of tho place. But Sec
retary Herbert was determined by two
facts In reaching his conclusion to keep
Captain Howison In command.
In the first place the people and the
newspapers on the Pacific coast were uni
ted in the desire to have him retained; and
in the second place the report OF the Mat
thews Naval Board, which made a close
examination OF the workings of the yard,
spoke so highly Of the efficiency Of the
commandent and of Naval Constructor
Taylor as to justify what might be re-
garded as departure from the presidents
in this case.

We are now brought face to face with the
question of total silver demonstration in this,
the greatest metallic power the world ever
knew. The Democratic party promised first
of all a reform of the tariff. Tariff reform Is
no longer talked of except with hated breath.
The east proposes 70 formulate tariff policy
on the lines Of the original Chicago platform.
brought forward by the protection element OF
the Democratic party and not In harmony with
the substitute adopted by the convention.
They also propose to repeal the Sherman law
without granting the free coinage part of the
platform.
IL plain TO all that our eastern friends
played huge bunoo game on the Democracy
Of the south and west by Justify preaching
tariff reform measure so popular here, hut
at the same time intending TO spring upon us
after the election the sole issue of silver de-
monetization.
IL the Republicans Of the west and south
are true TO themselves and the interests OF
their constituents. his conspiracy will not sue
ceed. To repeal the sherman law outright
and substitute nothing for IL. would precipi-
tate n silver panic throughout the world, and
probably cause its universal decentralization
II we ever intend TO get free coinage Of silver
