THE Bl-METALLlC LEAGUE.
Begins Its Session at Chicago with Big
Attendance.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-The national con-
vention of the American Bi-Metallic
League met at 10 o'clock this morning
and the attendance was larger than that
of any other previous assembly of like
character in the history of the financial
situation.
Chairman Warner of the Bi-Metallic
League called the convention to order,
and introduced Mayor Carter Harrison,
of Chicago, who welcomed the delegates
to the city.
In the silver convention this afternoon
the committee on permanent organiza-
ton reported, recommending Hon.
Allen w. Thurman of Ohio, son of the
sold Roman" for permanent chairman
of the convention. The report was rati-
fed by unanimous vote. Chairman
Thurman was received with great APP
plause and delivered speech. He said
should the Sherman law be repealed
without substituting anything in lieu
thereof, it means financial destruction of
silver money as measure of value.
No man can tell when it will
former place. This means for years to
issue resolves itself simply to the ques-
ton whether the paper money of the
country be issued by banking corpora
Stions upon the debts of the people, or
upon other kinds of corporate securities,
or whether it rest upon the broad and
safe basis of gold and silver. Gold
alone certainly cannot afford sufficient
basis upon which the amount of circu-
lating medium required by the people of
this country can safely rest If this is
not so, why is it whenever any of it be-
gins to flow from one country to another
we hear cry of distress?
Mr.. Thurman submitted for the con-
sideration of the convention the follow
ing plank: First, let our adversaries
agree to the free coinage of silver at eth
er the ratio of 1912 or 16 to l.; next
amend the national banking laws to per-
NIT any national bank to issue notes up
to the face value of 100 per cent upon q
deposit of 80 per cent with the United
States Treasury in either United States
further repeal on the tax on national
bank circulation.
Mr. Thurman argued that notes issued
under his plan would be absolutely safe.
He received considerable applause.
A committee on resolutions was APP
pointed.
The question of preparing an address
to the people and memorial to congress
was referred to the committee on resolu-
lions.
The committee on credentials reported
az states and territories represented by
$40 delegates. In response to general
demands T. V. Powderly addressed the
convention. The convention then took a
recess until $50 p. m.
The night session was mass meet
ing. Speeches were made by Senator
Stewart of Nevada and Congressman
Bryan.

SHERMAN MILLS.

[From Our Regular Correspondent
We are having bad hay weather. There
is quite an amount of hay to cut yet,
but nearly all those that began three
weeks ago have finished. The crop is a
very light one, and as there was very
little hay carried over, the amount on
hand at the close of the season will be
much smaller than for many years past.
The quality is very good and thus far has
been secured in very good condition.
The price held at present for loose hay is
from $14 to 500 per ton.
The grain crop is large and good and
is fast coming to maturity, many pieces
of it turning. Potatoes and all other
crops are looking splendidly. The APP
pie crop is almost failure.
The booming of blasts on the railroad
is heard in different directions, and is
almost continuous from Stacyville to
and beyond Grindstone, on the east
branch of the Penobscot.
Mrs. Mertie Lampkin, a native of Sher-
man, arrived in Sherman with two small
children from Jacksonville, Fla, two
weeks ago to spend few months with
relative and friends.
Mr.. Daniel Lewis and Mr.. Alfred
Spooner are both building large addi-
lions to their dwellings in the village
that will add largely to their convenience
and beauty. There are also many i'm
provements being made and several new
buildings built and others under con-
struction throughout the town.
Mr.. VIM. H. Lewis, accompanied by
his wife, went to the Maine General
Hospital, Portland, few weeks ago for
treatment. He has been iu feeble health
for several months, and we are pleased
to hear favorable news from him since
going to the hospital.

GAINS MANY NEW FRIENDS.

The Morris Cove Electric Road
Favored by Most of the Members Of
tho Pequot Club-InterestIns Cor.
respondence.
It is said that the Pequot club is now
about unanimous in favor of the Morris
Cove Electric road, but still divided in re-
gard to the location of the tracks. Those
who own horses want the tracks to run in
back of the cottages, but those who do not
have horses want the road to run whore it
will, in all probability, in front of the
club house. A good. many people who
have said that they wanted the road to run
in the rear of their cottages, now say that
rather than not have the road at all they
are willing that it should be run In front
of them. The management of the road
are very decided in their statements that
the road will either run through Town
send avenue or the terminus remain where
1t ia now.
The members who favor offering no re-
sistance to the road laying its tracks in
Townsend avenue in front of the club
house have done good work during the
last week, with the result that there are
many more members favorable to the road
than there were week ago. It has been
claimed by the opponents of the road that
the company did not intend to run its
tracks beyond the cove, and this Argument
has been used by them with telling effect
until this last week, when the issue was
clearly defined by the correspondence
which follows below: g. r. Chsmberlin,
who favors the road, and who is also q
member of the Pequot club and has its in
terests at heart, addressed the following
letter to President Townsend of the Morris
Cove road in regard to the intentions of
the company. The letter and reply are
self explanatory:
May s, 1893.
Dear sirNAs one of the members of the
following: Many Of the opponents to the electric
tha sn

At the Cev wthoSt building sg its
also that you intend making Morris Cove, and
Norris Cove only, yeur terminal.
Are these facts or not2
Kindly advise me at your earliest opportunity
Very respectfully yours,
GEORGE r. CHAMBERLAIN.
President Townsend's reply was as fol-
lows:

Dear sir-Your esteemed favor of the 9Th inst.
is received and hasten q reply.
Wnat you Wrlue arc not taCts oAu tAero 10 ~
truth In the statements which you say are made
by the Opponents to the electric road"
Had it not been for the injunction Of Messrs.
Beecher and Kimberly the road would have been
built last year transporting passengers through
the injunction and opposition of Messrs. Beecher
and Kimberly is removed have NO hesitatio1 IN
soon thereafter the track can be laid and line
extended.
The idea OF making Morris Cove the "termin-
MS" of the road or transport ng into and not
through Morris Cove" or ''drop its passengers
at the Cove without building further" has never
