Convention.
Senator Stewart Tells of Uncle Sans
Dealings With the Rothschilds.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, juno 13-The silver
orators began their labors again this
morning after q good nights rest. The
second days session of the
great silver convention opened
with no sign of diminu-
tion of the supply of tho speeches, and it
is doubttuSf it will complete its labors
before late at night.
Senator Stewart said in, part: "rhe
object lessons OF the last three years
show that the American people are face to
face with concentrated capital, the enemy
which destroyed all previous civiliza-
tions.
"The modern Colossus, the Rothschild
combination, is the greatest brokerage
establishment the world has ever seen. 1t
deals with corporations and nations
which force from the people their
earnings, either by monopoiizing
the necessaries OF life or through the SOW
ereign power of taxation. The vast
bonded debts OF the United States and
Europe have passed through their hands
for nearly a century, and the increment
retained by the Rothschilds
alone, independent of their numerous
associates, is estimated at 10000 600.
This combination robbed the United
States OF gold to convert the silver debt
OF Austria into gold obligations and made
400, 600 in the transaction.
In 1893, the vaults of the United States
treasury were opened and more than one
hundred millions of gold was shipped
10 Austria with the aid OF
tho administration, which refused
to exercise the option provided by Con-
gross to pay in either gold or silver.

that his wife left him and
went with her three children to
live with Harvey who conducted a hotel
and saloon with his brother Fred Har.
vey, the champion pool player.
The relations OF the two men
were not cordial. Harvey forbade
Bovine from coming TO his place, and
they quarreled frequently over the abuse
Bovine had inflicted upon his wife.
This morning Harvey was seated back
OF the cigar case in the saloon. Bovine
passed in back of the screen, looked about
tho saloon few moments, and
when he espied Harvey he came forward.
Before those in the saloon could surmise
what he intended, Bovine stepped
up to the cigar case with
a drawn revolver. "Your time has
come" said he TO Hdrvey, and
then fired twice. Only one bullet took
effect, but that was fatal. IL struck Har-
vey back of his right ear and
lodged in his brain. lie died
In few minutes. When Har-
vey dropped, Bovine turned the pistol
upon himself. He shot bullet clean
through his head, from the right to the
left temple, and died instantly.
