SILVER THE CURE-ALL.
Bimetallists Declare Coinage I
Be the Paramount Issue

Bfmetallists Declare Coinage to
Be the Paramount Issue.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE policy
to be pursued in advancing the princi-
pies of bimetallism was outlined at
today's session of the American Bi.
metallic league conference. Speeches
were made by severa al congressman and
by delegates from various states. Mr..
Bland characterized the silver question
as purely a political one, and urged
that the political battles of the future
be fought on the proposition that any
change of ratio must he put in abeyauce
until the full restoration of silver is
accomplished.
Representative Gotten, of Wyoming,
referred to the money question as the
oVerShadoWlng Issue before the coun-
try, and advocated more money rs the
only relief for general distress and
discomfort. Restoration OF silver to all
the rights and privileges it had at the
mintS before the decentralization act of
1878, he declared. was the first step to
Ge taken in all money reform.
MI. Bryan, of Nebraska, also made
short speech advocating unity of action
among bimetallstS.
A declaration was adopted recounting
the repeal of the silver purchase law
and establishment of tue single gold
standard, which has been followed by
steadily increasing depression; that
gold has steadily increased in value;
industries are everywhere paraIyZed:
labor is unsteady and precarious; busi-
ness enterprise Is imperiled and debtors
made bankrupt. 1t is asserted that there
is no hope of relief until the double
standard of 16 to Is restored, and that
the money question is
The Supreme Issue
before the country. Voters are urged
to make this issue paramount TO all
other considerations in the election of
state legislatures, congressman and
president. 1t is recommended that
convention be held at some central
point in both the mining and agricult-
ural states to perfect an organization to
work for this end, and that a committee
OF i've be appointed to carry out the
plan.
At the afternoon session, which closed
the conference, speeches were made by
Senator Jones on 'Bimetallism in the
United States Alone" Gen. Warner OIL
"lhe Consequences of the Legislation
of 1888" and by Representatives Bell
and Pence and Gen. w. H. Parsons, of
Texas. Gen. Warner asserted that the
cost of the years legislation was the
nearer approach Of every debtor to
bankruptcy and therein of constantly
increasing number. He estimated the
losses in production resulting from
closing industries and non-employment
Of labor resulting from that legislation
at S4,000.000,000. with a shrinkage of
over $1,000, 100000 in crop valuation. In
closing President Warner discussed the
necessity for making bimetallism The
paramount issue before the country.

Nothing Was Done on Considera-
tion Of the Bills.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-The senate
finance committee met at 10 o'clock
today TO further consider the free sugar
and other separate tariff bills referred
10 it yesterday. The Republican
members said they could not
take the responsibility of report.
ing those bills, and il the Democrats
desired them reported they must do it
with their majority. The Republicans
had four members of the finance com-
mittee here, aud as the Democrats had
but the same number, they did not pro-
pose to have the Democratic members
counted as five. The committee jmmedi-
ately adjourned, and then meeting of
the Democratic leaders was held in the
committee room to consider the question
of filling the vacancies on the COM
mittee.
While the impression was general
yesterday that Senator White
of California would be select
ed. it seems that there are
difficulties in the way of making any
selection. Many Democrats think that
having allowed the vacancy to exist so
long. it is bad policy to tlll it for an
emergency. Others claim that Demo
critic caucus must fill the vacancy, aud
when it is called it will be found that
there are other questions besides that of
free sugar TO be consulted, notably that
of free silver issue. ana before a con-
clusion can be reached many diverse
opinions will be developed. The Dem
ocratic steering committee is expected
to determine upon prog ramme early
in the day.

Will Not Be Built Until a Chal-
1enger Is Begun.
RYDE, Isle OF Wight. Aug 17.-ln
spite OF the deniais which followed the
announcement that George j. Gould
was ordering new Herreschoff racing
yacht the statement then made was
perfectly correct. 1t is true that actual
work on the new yacht will not be
started until the negotiations which are
now known to be pending result in
challenge for the Americas cup.
Talking to MIR. jameson and Capt.
Carter on board the Britannia the other
: day, Mr. Gould said:
LAS soon as know that challenger
is building here shall order a boat to
meet her."
The Messrs. Gould will return to the
United States in October. but they will
revisit England in February next, and
thereafter they will live very much IN
the country.
g The Immediate reason for the non.
appearance of the Vigilant was that she
had damaged the head of her mainsail
in yesterdays contest, and it was
deemed advisable to devote the day to
amending it and otherwise preparing
the sioop for tomorrow. Sailmakers are
busy getting her canvas in perfect trim,
and her crew is 0verhauling the rigging.

Lively and Bloody Fight Over an
Attempted Jail Delivery.
ROCKFORD. H., Aug. 1.-THE vii
7lage of Roekton, twelve miles north, Is
wildly excited over an attempt last
night to rescue from jail an alI-ar0und
tough named La Pointe by gang of his
henchmen. The trouble started Tues
day night, when Thomas Webber, a
wealthy stock buyer, was attacked in a
saloon by Elmer Johnson. James Wall.
John Moran and W. Phillips. They
nearly pounde the life out of Webber.
Albert Boone, II. Kocher and A. Liveac
had been camping on Rock river, a
short distance above RocktOn, and
Thursday morning went to Beloit.
They fell in with La Pointe and Ed
higgins, who accompanied them down
the river in their boat to attend the trial
at Rockton. On the way down quar-
rel arose, and La Pointe pounded Boone
with his revolver. kicked his teeth in
and crushed his breast, and, supposing
him to be dead. threw the body over
board into the river. The cool water
revived Boone, who swan ashore and
went to the house of John Randall. a
farmer, being closely followed by La
Pointe. Mr.. Randall, with his shotgun
In his hand, stopped La Pointe and held
him until an officer arrived and placed
him under arrest. Aa effort was
made last night to get La Ponte out of
the jail. An extra force of police had
been quietly sworn in, and when Tommy
Hess, of Beloit, and nine friends came
down to RocktOn TO release their friend
La Pointe they were given very warm
reception. Hess was shot under the
eye and one of the Beloit tOughs fell
with two bullets in his back. The
Would.be deliverers fired at the Rock
ton officers and kept them at bay until
they could carry away the man who
was shot in the back.
This morning posse went to Beloit
and found Sullivan Crook, who was
shot in the back. Other arrests will
follow.
