SILVER MEN AND POPULIsT sTS,
Opposition to Any Infiammatory Ha-
rangues.

CHICAGO, July 81. About 100 delegates
TO the National Silver Convention had
registered at the headquarters in the
Montauk block up to yesterday afternoon
according to advices received by the COM
mittee on arrangements.
Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, and Con-
gressmon Boen, of Minnesota, were among
the arrivals at the Grand Pacific They
tarried long enough only to remove the
dust of travel and take dinner and then
continued their journey TO Washington. In
conversation with some of the local silver
men who were anxious that he should re-
main for the convention, Senator Wolcott
said that he felt that he could be of more
service TO the party at the National Capital
I'm view of the fact that the makeup of
committees and other important matters
would command consideration during the
coming week. Congressman John H.
Reagan, of Texas, also arrived ut the
Grand Pacific.
The National Executive Committee of
the peoples party has established itself in
the same hotel. Only II. g.. Taubefeck,
Treasurer Balkin OF Terre Haute and
George ]. Washburn, of Massachusetts,,
chairman of the eastern division of the
peoples party have SO far put in an ap-
pearance.

convention will vigorously resist any at

BosToY, July 3l-Tae Herald says |:
While President Mcleod and his asso-
ciates in the organization of the New
York. New England and Northern rail
road are discreetly reticent concerning
the details of their plans. other railroad
men and students of the situation have
evolved the following as the outline of
the scheme. Enough has been admitted
or commented on by the parties best
posted to justify the idea that its main
features are correct:
The problem to be solved is to get the
New York and New England road into
New York, independently OF present
lines. It's relations with these are such
that its present access is matter of suf-
ierauce, and liable TO interruption and
suspension at any time.
The New Line.
The plan is to build a new line, 80 miles
or more in length. from near Brewster's, S,
where the New York aud New England
now connects with the New York Cen
trail to New York ci y. keeping easterly
of the Harlem, and the New York City and
Northern roads. The route offers no
especial difficulties until it reaches the
New York suburbs, where II has been
considered impossible to get in another
road.
But Mr.. Mcleod has apparently con-
uuered difficulty by securing control OF
the Second avenue elevated rood from
| Leggett's creek at Morrissnia, just above
| Harle m river, to Twenty-tbird street. This
| road runs along near the East river city
| front to point we'll down town, some 20
| blocks below the Grand Union station.
| The location Is already provided, and the
construc; ion Is already on the ground aud
| In use. There will be needed, however.
| a strengthening OF the elevated structure
| c. fit il for the beaver trains OF surface
| road, but this Is only matter OF detail
| which presents no insurmountable dif-
| ficulties
The Second avenue road already has n
| considerable terminus at Twentv-thir J
| street, aud it Is asserted that Mr.. Mcleod
| and his associates have a secure option
| on an entire block there for an ample
| I, rminal OF the new road.
Money Already Secured.
It Is stated that before any public men
| tion was made of the new scheme aud
before the application for the charter
was Il led, its promoters had secured all
the necessary contracts and options to
| insure the success OF their plan from
| Morrisania to Twenty-third street. Ii is
certain that they are confident OF the
strength OF their position and that en-.
| ginetrs have bPen busy for week in lay
| lug out the new line i'm detail. The con
trs"t TO construct the road Is also closed.
