THE SILVER LEAGUE.
Resolutions Passed by the Des Moines

DES MONIES, Iowa, March 23.-The Ma
tional Silver League before adjournment
last night passed the following resolutions:
Whereas. the terrible condition which
now exists in our country is due to the
crime of demonetizing silver which has
increased the purchasing power of gold,
decreased the value of gold certificates,
closed our mines. shops and factories and
bankrupted our business men, and
Whereas. three-fourths of the people of
this country are in favor of the full re-
monetization of silver and opposed to the
present single gold standard and
Whereas, silver was stricken down by
old political parties, Notwithstanding the
direct pledges of both of their national
platforms to the contrary, therefore be IL
Resolved, that we recommend that the
nomination for Congress in the several dis
tTicts should be made by the friends of free
silver, who are unequiyocally in favor of
the unrestricted coinlge Of gold and silver
on the basis of 16 to ]; and where past
acts are the best guarantee Of the good
faith, and who will stand on the resolu-
tions adopted by this convention. And that
the said nominations be made either by
political organizations which are known to
be positively in favor of free silver, or by
Independent assemblagcs of men of all
parties; the candidates being pledged IL
elected, in case the election of President
of the United States is thrown into the
House of Represen tati"es, they will vote
for such candidate as is known to be earn
estly in favor of free coinage.

Yesterday Rawn was confronted with the

It is said today that his friends sent him

LAWYER O'NeiIl,s Action.

At the last meeting of the excise board. II
will be recalled, Lawyer z. ]. b. O'Nein
created somewhat Of sensation by forcibly
abstracting a liquor license from the files
of the office and refusing to give 1t up. AS
stated at the time in The Star. the action
was based upon the claim of Mr.. O'Neilrs
client, John A. Kain. The story is to the
effect that John Kahn obtained a liquor
license and shortly thereafter traI sferred
it to c. Maurice Smith, the attorney. Kain
at the time was in Jail upon several charges.
purchaser was found, and transfer of
the license was Sought. After Lawyer
O'Nein had taken the papers. the question
arose whether the Commissioners could
grant the transfer in The absence of the
license and whether ONeill was not pun
ishable for the offense. The papers were
sent to the attorney for the District, who
holds today that the transfer can be made
and duplicate license issued, but that Mr..
O'Nein cannot be punished unless the Com
missioners see fit to Iisbar him from prac-
ucing before them.
The Commissioners will probably accept
the attorneys Recommendation. grant the
transfer and issue an order preventing
Lawyer O'Neill from appearing before them
until he satisfactorily explains his action.

New Facts Brought Out.

PROvINCET0WN, Mass, March o.
A letter received here today from Capt.
e. T. Ryder, formerly Of this place. con-
tains an interesting fact concerning the
situation at Bluefields, Nicaragua, where
he now resides He reviews affairs at
BluefeldS prior to tie arrival Of the Brit
ish warship Cleonatra, and says that if
1t had not been for her coming all Ameri-
can and foreign residents of the place
would have been killed.
Capt. Ryder continues: After the forma-
ton OF the provisional government the COM
mander of the Cleopatra compelled the
Spanish troops to retire to Greytown, and
they sailed for that place on the Cleopatra
on the 9TH instant. Lieut.. Colman of the
ship and seventy-fve marines were left
to prevent further trouble. After the ves-
sci sailed it was found that some Of the
Spanish soldiers remained behind. That
afternoon some twenty Americans and my
self were on the streets when the Spanish
soldier drew a revolver and fired three
shots into crowd Of natives.
They attacked him and nearly beat him
to death That night a frightful riot COM
menced between the Spanish soldiers and
the natives. The streets were filled with
armd men, and the greatest excitement
prevailed About forty shots were fired
during the riot, two soldiers and one native

THE foreign residents sent for Lieut.
Colman, who was encamped a short dis
tance down the river, and he came to our
relief and has since remained in charge Of
the town. The Cleopatra returned on the
9th and increased the number ashore to
125 Yesterday (March 9th) 400 rifles and
$4,000 rounds of ammunition were found in
the brush near the town, and today 1900
more cartridges were discovered near by
all of 1t having been concealed by the Span
ish soldiers. 1t is believed they intended
to return when the warship went away
and sack the town.
The Americans have asked the COM
mander of the Cleopatra TO stay here and
protect them, as we see no relief coming
from home,and he has promised to stay un-
til relieved by another ship. Have all our
ships gone on Roncador reef and what
have become of them? If it had not beei

Donald, proprietors Of the company. pray
ing that they be forever enjoined from pro-

Mr.. Grimes alleges that he is the owner

thor Of a two-act comic opera, called "Si-

upon the same plot. and that the music
and librettos Is substantially the same as
that of the complainant. 'Si-Lootah," con-
tending the defendants have pirated the
plot, music, stage directions and libretto
of the latter. The complainant further al

The Buda Pesth system mt New York

The Metropolitan Traction Company has
decided to equip one of it's numerous lines
in New York city with the Buda Pesth un-
derground system. with a view to eventual
ly substituting this form Of motive power
for horses on most of it's lines if it gives
satisfaction.
The Metropolitan Traction Company has
about decided that there is nothing superior
to the cable for use on Broadway and all
thoroughfares where the travel Is heavy
enough to warrant the outlay of so much
capital on the roadbed. They expect simi-
larly heavy travel on Columbus and Lex
ington avenues, which are now being
equipped with cable power.
But for nearly all of their other lines they
are looking for cheaper motive power to
take the place Of horses, which,, as one of
the officers put it, are becoming antiquated
in New York city.
