WANT FREE SILVER
elMETALLlc LEAGUE DEMANDS IT
Unlimited Coinage of Silver at an Estab-
Iished Ratio of 10 to 1 and on an
Equality with Gold.

ST.. LOUIS, Oct. 4.-Pending the re
port of the committee on resolutions,
the Pan-American Bimetallic League
this morning proceeded to general bust
ness. Letters of regret and sympathy
were read from many prominent gentle
men.
On behalf of the knights of Labor
delegates present, T. A. Osborn, of Kan
sas, president of the convention, made
an address indorsing its objects.
The COLORADO delegation presented
for the consideration of the convention
bulletin of a bureau plan, which is to
be urged upon the state Legislature of
Colorado.
Under the plan the bureau of state
creation should receive bullion for stor-
age on the basis of units, such units TO
consist of 371A grains of pure silver,
and certificates of such receipt of units
to be receivable within the state for
taxes on lands, except school lands,
water rentals, interest and all other
dues to The state.
At the afternoon session, after sew
eral speeches were listened to. the COM
mittee on resolutions presented it's re-
port
The resolutions, after pointing out
the evils which will result to the varied
and vast interests of every section of
the United States from a single gold
standard, demanded free and unlimited
coinage of silver at an established ratio
of l6 to 1, giving to such coin equal
legal tender powers with gold unalter-
ably oppose the repeal of the Sherman
law, except by the passage of a law
providing for said free coinage. Rep
resentatives in congress are instructed
to instruct the president to issue a call
for an early convention of all nations
interested in the cause favorable to
free coinage of silver at the ratio named
for the purpose of establishing closer
commercial and financial relations with
them.
Further issue of bonds is opposed;
also speedy improvement of the great
waterways. The report was unani-
mously adopted amid great enthusiasm.
Governor Waite of Colorado wanted to
introduce supplemental resolution, de-
claring the right of states to establish
currency within its own borders of the
same standard as the national.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Secretary Car
Isle sent TO the house a reply to the
resolution of that body, asking him
why 4,5OO,0OO ounces of silver bullion
had not been purchased during July

ply he says that as the United States
is the largest purchaser of silver In the
world the ecretary of the treasury,
after examination of the offers and
quotations each day, should determine
what in his judgment is a fair price.
no matter how unreasonable or exorb-
liant, or he must employ such means
at his command to ascertain the actual

partment since June II has been to
simply ascertain the fair maaket price
of the bullion each day offered for sale,
and when ascertained make the pur-
chases at that price.

Pana Boy Averts a Wreck.

NATION, H. Oct. "A frightful dis
aster was narrowly averted by the pres
ence of mind of Ray Murray, a 14-year-
old boy, at Pana, forty miles west of
this city. The Big Four southwestern
limited, running at the rate of fifty
miles an hour, was entering the eastern
limits of the town when it was discov-
cred that a switch was thrown for
sidetrack upon which were standing a
Number of freight cars. The boy, no
ticing the approach of the flying train,
ran to the switch and threw it for the
main track just as the engine passed
over the split rails. A moments delay
would have caused fearful wreck and
the loss of many lives. 1t is presumed
that the switch had been left open by a
freight crew.

BANK EXPERT MAKES DISCOVERIES
People of BIanitOwoc Will Be Surprised
When the Report Is Made.

People of ManitOwOc will Be Surprised
When the Report Is Made.
MANITowoc, Wis, Oct 4.-People who
placed confidence in the security of the
State Bank of Manitowoc and the bust
ness methods of President Barnes and
Cashier Barnet will receive a shock
when-the report on the examination into
the affairs of the bank is made public.
The statement, which is in course of
preparation, will make some sensational
disclosures, and rumors that followed
the death of President Barnes and the
drowning of Cashier Barnet few days
later will doubtless be revived. Mr..
Bal mes died suddenly at Charlevoix,
Mich, where he was visiting relatives,
and Mr.. Barnet's body was found in the
river, entangled in a fish line, 1t being
supposed he was accidentally drowned.
The testimony of the expert engaged to
investigate the affairs of the bank, so
far as it has gone, shows chat there is
no stock ledger giving the names of the
stockholders; that there is no loan and
discount register, and that the trial bal
ance record of individual accounts is
also missing. With these exceptions
the bank books are in line with those of
well regulated banks. The deposit rec
ord shows SIS, 900 not accounted for in
the ledger

NIAGARA FALLS, Oct. 3.--Early in Aug
ust there appeared sleek looking
stranger at the falls, who said he came
from New York. He took rooms at the
Hotel Atlantique and gave his name as
w. c. Woodward. About the same
time there appeared in the advertising
columns of various papers throughout
the country a "reading notice" under
the heading matrimonial" which reads
as follows:
Refined and cultivated young lady,
living unhappily with her guardian, a
good housekeeper, fond of country life
ana worth $4,000, wishes to cores

list or stock raiser who is matrimonially
inclined. No attention will be paid to
answers unless the writer's contem-
plate matrimony. State age and re-
ligion; inclose picture if convenient.

Ontario, Canada"
Box in The little post office at Nj
agara Falls Center, just across the river,
bore on the inside the name of Ed Moon,
under which alias Woodward had
rented the box. Answers to the "ad"
poured in from all parts of the coun-
try, averaging twenty-five or thirty
day. Every other day Woodward
called for his mail, brought it across the
bridge, wrote answers, then crossed to
the other side to post them. These
answers were written in a neat femi
nine hand and signed "Marion Reed"
Marion told how she was imprisoned by
a cruel guardian, whom she suspected
of plot to poison her and obtain her
fortune. She was eager to marry and
suggested that place of meeting be
designated, If the stock raiser or
honorable agriculturist wrote again,

car fare to the place of rendezvous.
Within the last few days several vic |
Tins of this scheme made complaint to
the postmaster and chief of police of |
Niagara Falls, Ontario, inclosing letters
received and signed "Marion Reed" |
These complaints came from Connect |
cut, Rhode Islaad, West Virginia, and
as far west as California. = man from
Titusville, Pa, came in person, but

were about $50 of them, all in answer

He sent all his letters out from Niagara
