DeplOred in America.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The most pro-
nounced sensation was created every
where over the assassination of Carnot,
but particularly in official circles was
the tragedy most keenly felt and most
inteiligently discussed. President
Cleveland, Vice President Stevenson,
Secretary Gresham, the Fench minister
and other officials were given the news
and without exception they were deep
ly affected and expressed their regret
in strong terms.

have entered a troubled time. This is
not moment for stimulating bitter
ness or infaming passions. We need
all our powers of forbearance and self
control. Let us give credit to our op-
ponents at least for good intentions,
even though they give no credit to US.
All Europe and all America are IN
trouble. Everyone admits that the
world stands on the edge of revolu'
ton, social and political, but everyone
shrinks from it. Neither the north or
the south, the east or the west, neither
the capitalist nor laborcr wants to
create caste, or classes, or to spread
misery, oppression or violence. We all
see the danger before US. We all want
to avoid it. Our only dispute is about
the path.
Those of us who had chiefly in mind
the struggle between silver and gold,
lelieve this is the question which for
the moment presses the hardest. The
single gold standard seems tc US to be
working ruin and violence that nothing
can stand. lifts influence Is continued

LEAGUE CONVENTION
Six Thousand Visitors Assembled
at Denver.
DELEGATES ADVOCATE SILVER
Senator Cameron Sends u Letter of Re-
gret for Not Being Able to Attend
Which Was Well Received.

DENVER, Colo, June Outstanding
room was at premium in the spacious
Broadway theater when the National
Republican league convened yesterday.
The number of visitors in the city is
estimated at 5000, of whom about one
third are delegates.
At the back of the stage, between
the portraits of Lincoln and Grant,
was an immense representation of a
silver dollar.
Delegates began assembling at 10
o'clock, but owing to the confusion in
the seating of the delegates, proceedings
were not begun till 11:2O. Rev. DR..
Kerr B. Upper officiated the opening
prayer, then F. G. Cloudy, president of
the state league, welcomed the dele
gates in a long speech. He savagely
attacked Governor Waite and the popu-
list party and promised that Colorado
would be redeemed by the next elec-
ton.
President Tracey then delivered his
address.
The response to Goudy's address of
welcome was made by William Mason
of New York. His words were well
chosen and highly appreciated.
The roll call, which followed i'm
.mediately after the presidents address,
showed 40 states and territories repre-.
scented, the largest number in the his.
tory of the organization. Iowa report
ed 81 delegates, Kansas 81, Minnesota
Al, Mississippi 50, Wyoming so dele
gates and 60 visitors. When Oregon
was called the chairman answered:
"Here with 1000 majority"
In the afternoon the doors were
thrown open to the public after the
delegates had been seated, and great
crowd poured in, filling all seats. The
venerable Henry B. Blackwell offered a
woman suffrage clause which was re-
ferred to the committee on resolutions.
Blackwell was called to the platform
and made short address. Resolutions
for unlimited coinage of gold and silver
to be unlimited legal tenedr; and for
the admission of New Mexico to state.
hood were introduced and referred.
Ex-Governor Prince of New Mexico
presented the following: "Resolved

to agree upon bimetallic monetary
system, which will bring renewed pros

CAMERON'S LETTER.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1894-06-30


flags, which were in abundance, were
procured by the crowd and with cries
of "Down With Foreigners" "Out
With Them hundreds of people
marched to Rue de la Barre, in which
street the Italian consulate is situated.
There is no doubt that the consulate
would have been attacked had it not
been for prompt action of the police,
who stopped the crowd and compelled
its members to dispense. Excitement
continues at fever heat and 1t would
take very little to precipitate bloody
riots. Threats are made to take sum-
mary vengeance upon the countrymen
of Santo, and, the authorities fearing
attempts would be made to put these
threats into effect, sent policemen to
patrol the city and prevent outbreaks.
1t was thought the entire population of
the city was on the streets when the
attack was made, but this proves
wrong, for the crowd constantly aug
mented. After attacks on the Italian
cafes, the disorderly element of the
crowd devoted their attentions to Ital-
ians they found upon the streets. Some
of them were pursued and barely es-
capped with their lives. The police had
great difficulty in rescuing the hunted
men. Rue de la Barre is now barri.
caded at both ends and guarded by
troops.
The assassin is a beardless young
man, 20 or 25 years old. As he was
marched under police guard from Rue
de la Republique to the station he had
his head down, but his eyes glanced
furtively around as though seeking an
opportunity to escape. To have made
such an attempt, however, would have
been the height of folly, unless he de-
sired to commit suicide, for there is not
the slightest doubt that had he got
away from the protection of the police
he would have been torn limb from limb
by the crowd, whose every action
showed that they were thirsty for his
blood.
The man, who speaks French badly,
when questioned at the police station,
said he had lived at Colt, department
of Perault, for six months past, and had
only come to Lyons yesterday. He gave
his age as g.. His replies were given
coolly, but without any sign of bravado.
He refused, however, to answer any of
the questions put to him regarding his
motive fo- stabbing the president, de-
claring that on this subject he would
speak only before the tribunal. When
he was searched by the police book
was found in one of his pockets in which
it was written that he had been born in
a village in the province of Milan, Italy.

port from the judiciary committee as

ident to appoint agents or commission

advice or consent of the senate.
NO INTERVENTION NEEDED.
A fourth resolution in relation to
Hawaii was offered by Mr.. Turpis,

table, and will bs called up tomorrow,
or next day as basis on which Mr..

Severe blow At TRADES unions.
The Largest Hat ManufactorY in Dan
bury, Conn.,, Removes to Newark,
N. J., to Get Cheap Labor.

DANBURY, Conn, Jan. 8.-The hat
manufacturers have begun to move out
of Danbury. Beckerle & Co., who
have the largest hat factory in Con-
necticut and who employ 500 hands,
announced today that they will remove
to Newark, N. j. The first shipment
of machinery was made today and
the work Of removal will be done as
expeditiously as possible, as the firm
wants to get located in their new quar-
tsrs in time to start work on spring
goods
For the past five years the pay roll
of this firm has exceeded $400, 900 an
nually, and the loss to this city by its
removal will be incalculable. In New
ark the firm will run its factory inde-
pendently of trades unions, something
it has found it impossible to do in
this city. Not only will Danbury lose
the factory, but in addition it will
lose William Bsckerle's immense
stock farm on which there are 900
high bred horses. 1t is thought that
this move of Beckerle's company will
break the ranks of 4, 900 union hatters
who have for six weeks refused to go
to work IN the twenty factories that
closed their doors against the unions,
and have since tried unsuccsssfully to
open as independent shopry
1t is too late now TO prevent the re-
moval Of Beckerle's company and 1t is
thought that tho hatters before seeing
the other manufacturers leave will
give mp their unions and acknowledge
defeat. Many of the other msnufaOt.
urers have their arrangements nearly
completed for removing elsewhere.
Since they first signitied their inten-
tion, a week ago, of moving out of
Danbury they have received hundreds
of letters from all parts Of the country
offering inducements to move.
