Los Angeles. Cal, May ia San
Francisco press dispatch dated Tues
day, stated that owing to the efforts
of General A. ]. Warner, chairman of
the national executive committee Of
the American Bimetallic party, to
boom Joseph c. Sibley for the presi-
dency in 1896, the late visit of these
gentlemen to California had not pro-
duced the expected results for free
coinage. and that one of the effects of
IT had been the fiat secession of the
State Silver League from General War
ner's organization which secession is
represented TO have occurred at a
meeting of the executive committee Of
said league held in Los Angeles last
Saturday.
Colonel John R. Berry, secretary Of
the Los Angeles League of the Ameri-
can Bimetallic party, was shown the
dispatch, and to an Associated Press
reporter said:
The fact is that all there is of the
so-called State League is the so-called
executive committee. and all there's of
that committee. so far as its active
committee is concerned, is a quartette
OF eX-Populists, who were members of
the local free silver movement started
here last winter. who refused to join the
republicans and Democrats associat-
ed in that NOV 9ment in endorsing the
national movement, of which General
Warner is the executive head The
names of this quartette are: Enoch
Pepper, Alva Udell, II. II. Savage and
John Robson. Their refusal to endorse
Warner and Sibley does not necessar-
lily commit the State Silver League.

CREELMAN AGAIN.
SAYS MINISTER DUNN'S OPINIONS
ARE PARTIAL.
Japanese Showed Great Barbarity
in the Slaughter of Chinese at
Port Arthur.

Marietta. Ohio. May 16.-When James
Creelman, the war correspondent. saw
Minister Dunn's report to the state
department from Toxic, he said:
Minister Dunn's opinions on the
japanese are partial. Mr. Dunn was
formerly an employee of the japanese
government, and is the husband of a
japanese wife and the father of
Japanese daughter. He is now a SUBJ
altern to the Japanese minister of
foreign affairs. 1 told him the details
of the barbaritieS perpetrated by the
Japanese at Port Arthur, and that he
could get further details from Fred
erick Villiers, Of the London Standard,
and Thomas Cowan, Of the London
Times. This conversation occurred in
the Toxic club, in the presence of the
Dutch and Hawaiian ministers. We all
dined together Mr.. Dunn showed in
dignation, but failed to seek further
evidence, although he now confesses
that he made haste to communicate
my words to Viscount Matsu, the JAP
anese minister of foreign affairs. Mr..
Dunn eagerneSs to serve the
Japanese is shown when he
quotes Colonel Dewogack as
person who did not see the massacres,
but ne does not mention the fact that
the Russian military attache did not
reach Port Arthur until five days after
the battle. He likewise quotes Captain
George Common, suppressing the fact
that he is an employee of the govern
ment, and did not enter Port Arthur
until three days after the massacre
Lieutenant O'Brien says that he only
saw men slaughtered on the first day.
He was Informed from day TO day
where the maSsacreS were proceeding
and told the correspondents that it was
better that he might not witness any
more slaughter, as it might EN- barrass
him in his official standing TO appear
too eager. In the presence of Mr.. Vii.

that he wished to be recalled by Score

Democrats of Kentucky Adopt
Strong Resolutions.
Owensboro, KY, May 16.-The Demo-
cratic convention to nominate for rail-
road commissioner for the First dis
trict, comprising thirty-nine of the
one hundred and nineteen counties of
the state, today unanimously adopted
the following:
I'VE declare it to be an elementary
principle of Democratic faith that both
gold and silver coin shall constitute
the primary money Of the country:
that both metals shall be received for
mintage without discriminating against
either, and that the legal ratio that
existed prior to 1873; and we demand
the unrestricted coinage of both gold
and silver at this legal ratio and that
both metals be declared full legal ten
der in payment of all debts, public and
private"
This being the strong Democratic
section of Kentucky. the action pos
sesses significance as affecting the
probable action of the state convention
next month. Senator Blackburn was
here taking an active part and was
earnestly interested in adopting the
resolution. Much interest is taken in
Secretary Carlisle's campaign next
week against free coinage.

THE wHEELMEN.
They Made n Very Fine Showing
Last Night.


By far the largest bicycle parade
that Salt Lake has witnessed since last
years political campaign, formed at
about $50 last night on Second South
street and made luminous line
through the main thoroughfares of the
town As the troop of wheelmen
rounded the Walker Brothers corner,
only about 243 were in the ranks, but
recruits came thick and fast and be-
fore they had gone more than a couple
of blocks it is estimated that there
were about 700 wheels in the parade.
The meeting place of the wheelmen
was in front of the Salt Lake and Og-
den Gas and Electric Light company,
where two large jets were squirting
natural gas. Inside the enterprising
company were serving out coffee to the
public, to bring to notice a large col
lection of gas stoves upon which the
beverage was steaming.
AS only twelve hours notice had
been given, the showing made last
night was very commendable. The
wheelmen were out to do honor to the
silver delegates, and they did it with
vim and enthusiasm that augurs well
for the cause of the white metal The
wheels were decked in festoons and
bunting and large numbers of flags
and Chinese lanterns were also dis
played. The slogan of 16 TO 1 went up
and down the line with lusty shout.

NEW WITNESS FOUND IN THE
MURDER CASE.
Clothing Can Easily BE Account

San Francisco, May 1e.-The police
are said to have found several new
witnesses who will testify against
Theodore Durrant at his forthcoming
trial in the superior court. One of
these, Miss Willis, will say that some
time before Blanche Lamont's muir
der, Miss Willis asked Durrant, in his
capacity of church librarian, for a
book from the church library. He es-
corted her thither, left the room a
few minutes and returned entirely
nude. The young woman made her es-
cape with difficulty. Similar conduct
would explain the absence of blood
stains on Durrant's clothing after
Minnie Williams was murdered.
