generally favors the policy of the late

such language that the Republicans feel
that they can subscribe to it even il il

perhaps the report would not satisfy
either the Democrats OH the committee

is the rule to certain extent, but the

vanced. The glutted money markets
continue to show that the volume of b,,si-
ness is still inadequate to employ the
circulation available, and the withdrawal
of about $GO,OOO,OOO from the New York
market by the sale of government bonds
does not cause the expected strengthening
Of rates. With gradually dccrcascins

'AD DRESS BY POPULIST
RESULT or THE DELIBERATIONS
OF THE PARTY's LEADERS.
Action of the Democrats aad Repub.
licans On the silver Question De.
noanced and Free Coiaage OF Both
Gold and silver Denanded.

st. Louis, Feb. 24.-The national CEN
trail committee of the Populist party,
which hus been In sec.et session here
the past two days, Chair MAJ III. Il.
Tat beneck presiding, concluded its work
this afternoon and issued the following
dcliberations:
"The union of the lc. ders Of the old
parties under Grover, Steve and John
Ski rman have forced down tie volume o.
the circulating medium to the single gold
standard, thereby enhancing the purclas-
irg power Of money, and depreciating tile
Price of all the products of labor us we'll
as the earnings Of wage workers. The
power acquired by the campaign promises
of the Democratic ard Republican par
ties to restore silver to the place occupied
us money metal previous to the crime
of 1873, has been used to consuminate
that iniQuity. The tactics Of deceiving
the people by sham issues, which have
been SO successful in the past, will be
employed to maintain the gold standard
and retire greenbacks. The British policy
of single gold standard system of
finance is contrary to every principle of
American independence. Therefore. we
are opposed to any international confer
eEce with foreign nations TO regulate the
finuEcial policy of this country, but favor
financial system that is distinctly Amer
lean. The success of the Dcln0- Republic
an financial policy enslavcs producers To
reward absorbers of wealth. The issue
is made by the declaration in the Oma-
ha platform in favor of the free coinage
of gold and silver Mt the ration Of 1G to /
and the issuance of standard money ex-
clusively by the government without the
intervention of banks. We den0unce the
issue of bonds in time Of peace, as an
act of treason and usurmltion unequalcd
in the history of civilized government.
They propose to drown the outcries of IL
pllnlered people with sham battle over
the tariff, SO that capitalists, corporations,
Eationnl banks, rings, trusts, watercd
stock, the decentralization of silver and
the oppression of the usurIers may not
be lost. They propose to sacrifice our
ht mes. wives and children OIL the altar of
mninnon; 20 destroy the multitude in
order to secure corruption from. the mil
licnaircs. The national committee claims
no right to dictate to the different states
or congressional districts as to tho de-
Il Ills of their platforms within the bounds.
of the fundamental principles Of The
Omaha platform. and we call uEGn all
patriotic. lil@rty-loving citizens to unite
with us i'll this effort to hold the rights of
AN cricin frvelnca from industrial sluy-
cy.'
Resolutions dcnouncing the Wilson lily
were also adopted.

Chicago, Feb. 24.-I'honms ii. Carter.
chair man of the Republican national COM
mittee, was in the city to-day OH his way
home TO Montana. In an interview this
morning Mr.. Carter said: ut is probable
that the national committee at its rcg,,-
lar meeting will adopt the rccommcn,l.,-
tion of the executive branch OH the
change of representation in the national
convention. Instead of two delegates
from each congressional district we pro-
pose to place it ut one, with an additional
delegate for each 1000 votes east in the
district for the last presidential canli-
date of the party. In the past the action
of the convention has hecn controlled by
the delegates from the states in which
there was no possible chance of securing
the electoral vote for the nominee. The
change will minimize the influence of the
delegations that are always given in con-
sidcration of some bargain. There will
be some opposition front he members of
the committee from the Southern states.
but ast he new basis is founded upon
right and justncss, have no doubt of
its adoption"

Chicago. Feb 22.-"Wallace." the 500
pound lion which IL OH exhibition at a
dime museum where lie il advertised as
the terrible untamed wonder Of tho
wcrld," escaped from his keeper and
bounded among crowded audience III
the rear Of the museum. Broucho
Boccacio, OH East Indian who Is the
lions keeper and trainer, was about to
give an exhibition in the big iron cage
with the lion when the animal leaped
from the cage. The theatcr was crowded
from the stage railing to the rear doors,
fully 300 people being present. The
brute gave vent to his feelings as soon
as he struck the floor by sending up n
mighty roar. The roar was heard by
people on the street us well as by those
on the upper floors OF the museum, and
when the onilnal went trotting up the
ais. toward the rear of the thcater
whipping his tail from side to side,
swapping and roaring, there was tho
widest kind of scramble among tho
men, women and children of the audi
ence. The animal is a ferocious mon-
stcr in appearance, and with his mouth
opeE and teeth exposed he presented
most formidable and fierce appearance,
and his snarls and roars added greatly
to the fear Of the people. The people
were panic stricken and the r,om was
soon cleared. The lion trotted to the
rear of the theater aud was about to 60
through one of the main exits which
leads to Clark street when Broncho
Bocoacio, the East Indian, bounded in
front of him. The tanner unhcsitatingly
gave the savage brute slash across the
face with heavy Inwhide whip which
he carried. The blow was severe ono
and the lion gave vent to a savage cry
OF pain. As he reared up on his hind
feet. Bocsacio, still showing no fear,
grabbed the beast by the long hair on his
neck and pulled it to one side and at
tempted to turn. his head toward tho
stage where he hoped to get him to re.
turn To the cage. The lion. however.
for - moment appeared stubborn. and
refused to move, and the fearless East
Indian again applied the whip. The
mans fearlcssMess conquered, and the
beast with mouth wide open and snap.
ping and roaring turned and re-cntcred
his cage. Fortunately nobody was ill.,
jnred in the mad rush for liberty, but
the museum people are posse ssed Of

to 10th sexes. They are also long on

which speaks well for his fcrociousness,
and his manager and keeper are con-
graduating themselves that he did not
