WASHINGTON, July 22.-Gen. A. ]. War
ner. president of the American Bimetallic
League. has issued the following address:
1.-The country has now had a years ex-
perience under the gold standard policy
since the acts of 1893 closing the mnts of
India and the stoppage of the coinage in
the United States. The results of this ex-
perience are manifest on every hand in the
business depression of the country, in labor
strikes, ard in general discomfort that ev-
erywhere prevails. Congress will soon COM
plete its work, and the general situation
then be fully disclosed. Some State cleo
tions, involving the election OF United States
Senator's, have already been entered on, and
the campaign for the election of members
of the House OF the Fifty-fourth Congress
will soon begin. In view OF these condi-
tions, the executive committee of the Amer
lean Bimetallic League has thought Ii ad-
visable to call a conference OF those who
believe that no permanent Improvement In
the condition of the country can be hoped
for as long as the present gold standard
policy is pursued, and who favor the i'm
mediate restoration OF the bimetallic stand

coinage of both gold and silver at the ratio
of 16 to 1, to be held at Washington, Thurs
day. Aug. 16, 1894, to take into consideration

on the policy to be pursued to bring about

great influx of Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine
was expected to take place to-day, there
are not more than $50 visiting members of
the order on the ground. More are ex-

presence decorously known by quietly
strollng through the streets with fez for
a head covering, reserving their forces
for locating of wells and the distribution
OF Zim zim tomorrow afternoon. Nothing
will be permitted to interfere with the
elaborate programme that has been ar
ranged. which means that a good time is
in store for the visitors. The ball will be
started rolling in earnest tomorrow night
but the ladies will be given reception at
the Brown Palace Hotel. Ii is expected
that sixty candidates will be introduced TO
the mysteries of the order. Many bus
mess places are handsomely decorated most
of them having Oriental scenes depicted in

Senator Villas still adheres to his determina-

he will not withdraw it. The House branch

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Although the
report that the President has chosen Ly-
man Trumbull, of Chicago, as one of the
two commissioners who are to aid Carroll
d. Wright in the investigation of the
cent strike could not be officially confirmed
tonight, 1t is generally credited. 1t is
Known that the President has under con-
sideration the names of Lyman j. Gage,
the Chicago banker, and Lyman Trum-
bull, and has intimated his intention of
selecting the Illinois member of the COM
mission early this week. Laboring men

called upon by women soliciting aid for the
strikers, and is reported to have said the
men should work for any wages he was
roundly scored for this, so that If his name
is under consideration by the President his

understood that Mr.. Dickinson suggested
M. Trumbull as an able and conservative
man. who would command the respect of
al paroles TO the recent labor conStroversy,
and whose decision would be received with
cut question.
1t is rumored that New York man will
be appointed one of the commissioners, and
that the President has selected him. Sew
Cral members of Congress have visited the
White House during the past few days TO
discuss the personnel of the commission
with Mr.. Cleveland and ii is understood
that he told a Western member prominent
ly interested in labor legislation that he
intended to name a well-known New
Yorker. The President Is reported to have
said that he was waiting TO hear from the
man TO whom the commissionership had
been offered, and that as soon as a reply
was received the appointment would be
made.
1t was reported tonight that the name
of eX-Secretary Fairchild had been dis
cussed by the President in connection with
a commisSonership, but whether Mr.. Fair
child will be named cannot be learned. Ex-
Collector Daniel Magone has also been
mentioned as a possible appointee. The
President had retired when the correspond
ent called at the White House tonight, and
ii was impossible TO learn positively
whether the members of the commission
have really been decided on. Colonel
Wright, who will be chairman of the COM
mission, has not been advised of the selec-
ton of his colleagues and does not expect
to be informed in advance of the public an
nouncement
There has been no little rivalry among
members of the House and Senate to name
the new commissioners, and no less than
a score of persons have been suggested to

fore him is that of Herman j. Shutters He
was recommended by Senator Villas who
just now is very influential in administra-
ton circles.
