APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.
THE EXECUTIVE SILVER COMMIT
TEE ISSUE AN ADDRESS.
1t Protests Strongly Against the Uncon
dltional Repeal OF the sherman
Act and Recommends Stub
born Resistance.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE executive
committee appointed at the Chicago sill
yer convention met today. and tonight
issued An Rppeal to the People. signed
by A. ]. Warner. chairman, and George
F. Washburn, secretary. The appeal
says in part:
sThe unconditional repeal OF the pres
ent silver law will at once stop all in
crease in the currency, place the country
on a single gold standard, and at one
stroke change all debts to gold debts,
with the certainty that gold will there
after continue to increase in value at an
accelerated rate"
The address then comments on the
present financial disturbance, and asks
"Can this country be improved by shut
ting off the money supply and further
restricting the volume of currency? 1t
is time when more money, and not
less, is needed. It is futile to suppose
that credit. already over.expanded, can
be made to take the place of money.
There is work, but no money to pay for
it,"
The appeal then calls upon the people
everywhere bO lay hhiu0 parry uiuoT~
ences and to assemble las our fathers
did of old" "and pass resolutions calling
upon their representatives and senators
in congress to resist the repeal of the
present silver law, unless coupled with
a provision restoring free coinage of
gold and silver as it existed under the
law prior to the passage of the ''fraudu-
lent act of 1873"
The appeal recommends the reading
OF the Chicago silver convention plat
form at all assemblages, writing of let
ters to representatives and senators, aud
in fact, to make vigorous campaign
against repeal.
The address concludes: sit is as i'm
portant now that we free ourselves from
the financial domination of Europe as
it was for our fathers to free themselves
from the political domination of foreign
power. Let this mouement be the spon-
taneous action of free people, conscious
that the government is yet in their
hands, and conscious toe, OF their
rights and with a will to maintain

BERLIN, Aug. PA finance commit
tee composed Of delegates from the fed
Grated states will meet in Berlin in
September. The semi-official announce
ment from Frankfort that the confer.
ehce which was recently in session there
had agreed to the general principles Of
new taxation plan, is not credited here.
In the best informed quarters quite the
contrary is believed.
Count Won 6chouvaloff, the Russian
ambassador to Germany, has gone to
st. Petersburg to try to counter the anti
German policy of DR.. Witfe. the Rus
sian finance minister. General Won
Werder, the German ambassador to
Russia, has been granted an audience
by the czar. He was accompanied by
Count Won Schouvaloff and both of
them urged that commercial eAtente
be concluded between Russia and Ger
many. It 10 reported that DR.. Witte,
after the interview, declared to the czar
that he would resign his Office If the
tariff war with Germany was aban-
doned without concessions being
made by Germany. Witte strongly
was supported by the imperial council
and the czar was obliged to give way to
him in the matter. The latest develop
ments Of the struggle thus justify the
official warnings issned hers to the
public not to believe the report that q
settlement of the tariff troubles was
near at hand. On Thursday the emperor
signed a decree adding 80 per cent to the
duties collected on Finnish products
imported into Germany. This Increased
tariff will practically cause the ruin of
the leading branches Of trade in Fin
land.
The procsedines Of the American con-
eress are watched with keen interest
here.
The proposed visit in September of
Cardinal Dederehowski, project Of the
congregation of the propaganda fide to
Berlin end Posep, the first time he will
have yiaited those cities since he was-ax=
lied in 1876. is exciting all Catholic Ger
many. The cardinal wants the quietest
kind of reception, but the Prussian
Catholics are determined to give him a
public ovation.

BOMBAY RIOTS.

Tho Results Arc More Serious Than At

BOMBAY, Aug. 12.--The riots between
the Mohammedans and Hindoos resi-
dent in this city have had more serious
results than at first appfehended. Six
persons injured in the rioting have died
in the hospitals and many others are
still under the DOCTORS care. The bad
feeling between the two religious sects
is becoming bitter. There is feeling OF
uneasiness everywhere in the city and
merchants and shopkeepers have closed
their places OF business, fearing another
outbreak will occur. Two squsdrons OF
lancers have been ordered to Bombay.
Troops were called out tonight to bat
tie with the rioters. The troops charged
and fred upon the mob, killing s and
wounding about 100. Two hundred riot
ers were takeh prisoners. Hindoo mill
workers, who are we'll armed, continue
to attack Moslems wherever they meet
them. The hospitals are full of wounded
natives.

A Significant Occurrence.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-It is reported
that there was very significant occur
renee in the senate finance committee
Thursday. A motion was made author
izing the chairman to introduce a bill to
amend the law governing the issue OF
national bank notes. to permit the issue
OF notes to the par value OF bonds depos-
tied as security therefor. This was
agreed to, after discussion, by large
majority. Then it was proposed to au-
thorize the chairman to report bill to
repeal the silver purchase clause of the
Sherman Law, whereupon Vest is said to
have made sYeech denouncing the
proposition and notifying tsiriends that
no bill which ignored silver could pass
the senate. Under the influence OF the
remarks OF Vest the committee unani-
mously reconsidered action on the cur
rency question and adjourned.

WAsmNeToN, Aug. 12.-The silver de-
bate in the house today did not attract
much public interest. The knowledge
that DO vote can possibly be reached
until August 2Sth causes the members
to take little interest in the proceedings.
and it is doubtful whether there was q
quorum present in the house today.
Many members left for the seaside last
night resolved to remain until it should
be time for them to return and deliver
speeches, which nearly every man is
preparing on the financial situation. 1t
seems likely that the daily spectacle in
the house for the next two weeks will
be that of an impassioned individual
delivering frey speech to a score or
two of his personal friends and an array
of 200 or 300 empty benches. When
the house adjourned today there were
not more than 30 representatives in the
ball.
Before small audience the silver de-
bate in the house continued this morn
ing. Wheeler of Alabama continued
his speech.
Morse, Republican. of Massachusetts,,
followed Wheeler. He heartily approved
the presidents views in regard to the
repeal Of the purchasing clause o. the
Sherman act, though he believed the
present depression was not entirely due
to that. 1t came from fear that the
Democrats would pass tariff legislation.
Harter, Democrat, OF Ohio, followed in
favor of repeal. He charged the Repub-
lican party with being responsible for
the present eituation, but eulogized
Sherman for his attitude at the time of
the passage of the law which
bears his name. Instead of being
abused, he said Sherman should receive
the grateful thanks af the whole people
Harter was followed by Hendrix,
Democrat, of New York, who favored
the repeal of the Sherman law, followed
by an adjournment till the opening OF
the regular session. His speech was lis.
tened to attsntively.s y. -.-ss
Bowers. Republican, of California,
spoke for free silver, and in doing so
cast aslur upon political platforms, de-
claring that no party platform amounted
to anything. He referred to the scarcity
of small currency and raised laugh by
stating that he went into drug store
this morning to get something which
cost l5 cents and could not get any
change. Free coinage OF silver would
tend to relieve the present depression.
Many banks of the United States
which were today closed, would be glad
to receive the dollar of our daddies.
This nation could make it's own money
for it's own people, aud if England want.
ed to put up bars all right. This great
country, which could produce every ne
cessity and every luxury must not sur
render to little island which must de-
pend upon what it could obtain from
other nations. This question was not a
partisan one; it was business one, and
as such it should be considered.
Delegate Rawlins, Democrat, of Utah,
lent his voice in favor of free coinage,
and at the conclusion of Rawlins' re-
marks the house adjourned until Mon
day. ael

CHICAGO, Aug. ia most important
step in the direction OF relieving the
financial stringency has been taken
today in Chicago by organized labor.
An investigation recently instituted by

number of trades and full discussion OF

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The startling
news comes by telegraph from Bruns-
wick, Ga, to Surgeon-General Wyman,
that yellow fever has appeared in that
city, and that its first victim is q man
who was sent there to guard against the
scourge. All the information concern
ing the matter known to Wyman is the
following telegrams received by him to-
night from Brunswick:
Surgeon Branham, detailed to enforce
the quarantine regulations at this port,
is very i'll in this city at his private resi-
dence. Local physicians say he has yell
low fever. The people are greatly
alarmed.
(Signsd) DEvAUx, COLLECTOR.
Acknowledgment 1. Branham has
taken. Can you send US Garter.
(Signed) J. A. DUNwooDY,
Acting assistant surgeon.
Another, dated Savannah, Ga, reads:
Dunwoody wires Branham has yellow
fever. Precautions are being taken.
Have seen a private telegram stating
the people are leaving the city.
(Signed) w. T. BRuNNER.
Health officer.
DR.. Wyman took immed late steps to
prevent the disease from spreading.
Surgeon Carter, who arrived in Pensa-
cola tonight to take charge of the quar-
antine, WAS ordered by wire to proceed
Immediately to Brunswick to see that
the United States treasury regulations
are enforced. Surgeon Hutton who had
a large experience in the Jacksonville
yellow fever epidemic in 1888, arrived
in Washington today from Detroit and
he was ordered to Brunswick.
The officers of the marine hospital
service are not surprised to learn that
yellow fever appears in Brunswick.
Some time ago the bark Anita Berwind,
on which vessel the captain died of yell
low fever. was permitted to pass quar-
antine and the crew were landed in
Brupswick. Surgeon Carter, who in
vestigated, said the Brunswick quaran-
tine regulations were very loose. In
fact only local quarantine officers super
vised the inspection of vessels, the state
of Georgia having no board OF health.
The port is now in charge OF the United
States marine hospital service.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Surgeon-Gen
eral Wyman iH informed that no new
cases of yellow fever have appeared 1t
Pensacola, and that the excitement is
rapidly subsiding.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 12.-Thirty-
six yellow fever refugees from Pensacols
are stopping in this city. They have
been examined by the health officers
and permission given them to remain
here. Nashville has never had yellow
fever.
