COMMERCIAL CONGRESS.

Look Into the silver Question.

Tho Transmississippi Conference VIII
Look Into the silver Question.
OGDEN, L. T., April 25.-The Trans
mississippi Commercial congress opened
in this city in the Grand opera house
yesterday.
Gov. Price, of New Mexico. called the
congress to order promptly at the
hour set in the opera house.
After prayer Gov. Price spoke, con-
graduating the congress on the mag
nificent representation, not only in
numbers but in representative. charac-
ter of the delegations. This session is
held in central point and as a result
delegates are present from all parts of
the Pacific slope, the mountain country
and states of the great western plains.
The governor spoke of the work out
lined for the congress, referring to
the subject of arid lands, irrigation
harbor improvements and free silver.
Each was cheered in turn by the 10
calities interested, but free silver
brought storm of applause from every
part of the convention, making it evil
dent that silver would occupy the
greater part of the conventions time.
Gov. Thomas, of Utah, being delayed
by railroad accident, Col. w. Ii. Har-
vey, of Ogden, made the address of
welcome, and was followed by Mayor
X. c. Lundy in behalf of the city of
Ogden. He expressed the belief that
the congress would be able to
impress the nation with the i'm
portance of restoring silver to it's
former place as the money of the peo-
pie. [Applausc.l In appointing a
committee on credentials it was found
that all of the twenty-five Transmissis-
sippi states were represented except
Minnesota and Louisiana, whose dele
gates had not yet arrived. The con-
gress then took a recess.

HUNTING GOLD.
The Assistance OF Bankers Invoked to

The Assistance OF Bankers Invoked to
Maintain the Gold Reserve.
New YORK. April 25.-Secretary Car
Isle, it is affirmed, sent to Assistant
Treasurer Jordan n communication
which Mr.. Jordan was instructed to
lay before the New York bankers. The
communication of Mr.. Carlisle is said
ts be as to how to raise from s25,O0O.00O
to s50,OOO,OO0 of gold. Among the
plans discussed were an issue of bonds
and a temporary loan. Each OF these
plans had some advocates among the
banks. Mr., Carlisle preferred to OBJ
tain the gold supply by exchange for
green backs, but the bankers did not
wish to give it in that way. y
While the conference was going on it
was reported on the street that II num-
Der of the bankers who were locked up
with Mr.. Jordan favored plan for
turning over to the government $685.
600, 900 in gold in exchange for legal
tender, and that an announcement
would be made after the closing of
business. According to Saturdays
bank statement the associated banks OF
New York held 72,250.000 in specie.
Probably more than s5O,OOO.OOO of this
is in gold. If the secretary of the
treasury could obtain n portion of this
it would undoubtedly help him out in
his policy of keeping the gold reserve
in the treasury as near to 800, 900
as possible.
Their views have been heretofore
that while they were willing to sub
scribe to an issue of bonds to tide over
the interval before legislation can be
accomplished they were unwilling to
give up their gold in order that the ex-
port to Europe might be facilitated.

SHOCKING DISCOVERY.
The Body of an Old Gentleman Devoursd

The Body of an Old Gentleman Devoursd
by Hogs Down to the Bones.
NEVADA, Mo-, April 25.-Two weeks
ago L. Co. Finch, residing with his SON
in-law, Judge Frank Brooks, of the
Vernon county court, disappeared from
his home. 1t was supposed that the old
gentleman had gone to visit some OF his
other sons-in-law who reside across the
line in Bates. When it was learned
Saturday that he had not been at either
place, search was instituted which re-
suited in finding his bones in a creek
which ran through thirty-acre hog
lot. His shotgun which he always car
ried with him was found on the ground
loaded.
The old gentleman was 20 years Of
age, and was born in North Carolina,
but had lived for many years with his
daughter in this and Bates counties.
AS he was subject to heart disease it is
thought he had an attack while cross
ing the lot, and the hogs, of which
there were $50 in the lot, finding the
body, devoured it. The bones were abb
solutely gnawcd clean.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Hon. Benjar
min L. Ravens, of Terre Haute, Ind,
and Secretary Gresham have just had \
short but spicy telegraphic correspond
ence. Mr.. Ravens has been an aspirant
for diplomatic honors for some time
past, and he thought he had one OF
those ''sure-thing cinches" upon the ap-
pointment. Mr.. Ravens had selected
the place of consul to Manchester s
about his size and had been exceedingly
earnest in his cntreaties to Secretary
Gresham for the appointment. But the
secretary appeared to be in no hurry to
name Mr.. Ravens. Finally the delay
became exasperating to the Indiann
man and yesterday he sent the follow
lug telegram to Secretary Gresham:
''Why don't you send me my commis-
Bion?"
The secretary read the message, and
picking up pen wrote this in reply:
because do not intend to appoina
you"

'You can not be surprised that we
undertake the solution of this great
question, and as on the one hand it is
not the least of the arduous efforts OF
the liberal party; so, on the other hand,
it will have its place in history-aye,
and not remote, but early history-as
not the least durable, fruitful and
blessed among its accomplished acts"
Before the cheering ceased, George
BARLEY, conservative for North Isling-
ton, rose to continue the debate. Mr..
Morley, chief secretary for Ireland,
moved the closure and it was adopted.
William Saunders, radical for the Wal
worth division, who threatened to bolt
to the opposition, changed his mind at
the last moment and went into the
lobby with the ministerialists. AS Mr..
Gladstone returned from the lobby,
liberals and natienalists rose, cheered
and waved their hats. John Red
mond shouted: "Three cheers for
Parnell." but the only response
was laughter. The announcement that
the bill had passed the second reading
by vote of 347 to So4 was the signal
for more cheers and hat-waving. There
was another demonstration when Mr..
Gladstone left the house. Crowds had
gathered outside the building, and a.

paradoxicaI, but however that may be,
there was much activity displayed yes
terday in both branches.
There appeared to be a misunder-
Standing as to the hour to which ad
journment was taken and there was a
conflict OF record. The record of the
house showed that in the concurrent
resolution 2 p. m. was the hour named,
while the council record showed "a con-
Ciusively that 10 a. IN. was the time.
In each branch the record was taken as
