FOR BIMETALLISM.
Chicago Leaders Favor a
Plan.
TO SECURE FREE COINAGE.
Outcome of Conference by
Financiers.
TO SECURE FREE COINAGE.
WORK ON A VERY BROAD BASIS.
Soon a Memorial May Be Sent to
Congress or an international
rleeting Called.

CHICAGO. May 6-Chicago bankers,
merchant princes and manufacturers,
whose names are widely knnown, have
come out for international bimetallism.
Marshall Field, Lyman j. Gage, George
Pullman and fifty others of wealth and
Importance in the financial world have
signed q creed with biInetallism as its
basis, and pledged themselves to promote
its adoption as an International system.
This is the outcome of conference held
short time ago by several rrominent
fnan ciers. At the conference the folio W.
ing statement of principles was prepared
by committee:
"The committee is formed for the pur-
pose IT promoting the establishment of
international bimetalllsm upon the gen.
eral plan of the Latin Union. but with a
broader basis"
Those concerned in the movement, while
earnestly opposed to the free coinage Of
silver or any increase in the use of silver
by this country. Independent of interna-
ti0nal action and agreement, believe that
the repeal of the purchase clause Of the
Sherman act affords a filter and fortunate
opportunity for advancing the cause of In
ternational bimetalism. They believe that
the day is not far distant when the neces-
stiles of commerce will compel the inter-
national use of silver as well as gold in the
currencies throughout the world.
Franklin ii. Head. who was appointed
secretary of the committee, at once set
about finding Others of the same belief.
and up to the present time has secured the
signatures Of over fifty prominent gentle
men.
In addition to Messrs. Field. Gage and
Pullman the list contains the names of P.
D. Armour, Franklin MacVeagh, John
Walsh and many others we'll known in
the commercial and financial world.
Speaking of the matter tonight Mr..
Head said IF England will enter an
International agreement to accept BIZ
metallic system every other great power
will do the same, and gold will cease to
depreeiate, pFiees~-wiH stop falling and
prosperity will be universally <estored.
If there is not some kind of change soon
India will be bankrupt. as Argentine,
Guatemala. Turkey and Egypt are now,
and England knows it. That is why the
time is ripe to make move for interna-
toual blmetallism.
Universal reconciliation of silver is
what we want. To adopt free coinage
the country. in the absence of such an
agreement, would be fatal to u.s. Let all
nations adoDt it and We shall see an end of
the worldwide depression in prices which
has followed the demonstration of silver
in 1873
Our committee will socn be organized,
and then we will be heard from, possibly
in a memorial to Congress- or in intarna
tional monetary conferences"

DEATH BLOW TO SLAVE TRADE.
British Forces Utterly Route King
Kabarega'S Forces.

ZANZIBAR. May 6. - Advfces have
reached here from Mengo to the effect that
the fugitive expedition, under the COM
mand of Colonel COlNle. sent against
Kabarega. King of Uniyore. has COM
pletely defeated the Kings forces. In
November last King Kabarega attacked a
chief at Toru who was British ally. The
chief applied to the British for aid and
force of 200 Nubians, comm nded by
Major Owen, was sent to his assistance.
This force met Kabarega's forces and
after fight that lasted three hours the
latter fed. leaving at least fifty dead.
War was then declared on Kabarega and
force of 400 Nubians and 10000 Wayan-
dota natives set against him. Five thous-
and of the latter carried arms. This force
was too strong for Kabarega. and though
he gave battle he was routed. The expe-
dition has established chain of forts
from the Albert Nyanza. on the banks of
which Kabarega's headquarters was
situated, to Uganda. 1t is expected that the
success of the expedition will prove a
death blow to the slave trade of this re-
gion and will bring Arab influence to an
end

ton to Strike.


TERRE HAUTE, Ind, May 6.-The ex-
ecutiye committee and board of grand
trustees of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen will, at the call of Grand Master
Sargent. meet in this city next Wednesday.

will be the Chicago and Eastern Illinois
wage controversy. in which Chief Sargent
is against strike, although the firemen,
by an almost unanimous vote. had voted to
strike. There has been dissatisfaction
among the firemen over their grand chiefs
action, aud the executive board will be
asked to fully investigate the question.
Chiefs Morrissey of the brotherhood of
fremen and Clark of the conductors have
been invited to participate in the delibera-
tions. Another important question to come

made by the roads have not been lived
up to.

vessel. and. after inspecting the passen-
gers. granted her clean bill OF health and
permission to transfer her passengers. 1t
will be impossible to haul the ship off,
even at high water, this evening. as she
went ashore at top of high water. LII fact,
the tide had just commenced to run out as
the vessel grounded. She will be lightened
of her cargo before being hauled off. All

man went from New York to the vessel
with lighter. and the crew of the
La Champagne commenced to transfer
the cargo and further Tighten the vessel.
Another attempt will be made to get her
ahoat tomorrow, but it is very un
likely that it will be successful. The

to be raised and towed off. 1t is not be-
lieved this can be done in less than two
days.

A QUESTION OF oBscENlTY.
Can a Report of the Breckenridge
Trial Be Sent Through the Mail?

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The question of
obsceniiy in the Breckenridge trial will be
passed upon by the postal authorities.
The story of the trial as told in book form
was recently submitted to Postmaster
General B;sSell By the publishers to de-
termine whether the transmission of the
books through the mails would not be a
violation of the postal regulations and in
accordance with the policy of the depart
ment. The unofficial request was ignored
pending complaint of the Postmaster at
Chicago. First Assistant Postmaster
General Jones has received from Post
master Hessing a copy OF the book, ac-
companied by request to pass upon the
question of violating the law. 1t is felt at
the department that passing upon the
question would involve the legality of
iran smission of newspaper reports of the
trial through the mails. Definite action
will be taken within a few days.
