NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 5.-The

the railways and steamboat lines for
their transportation.
Visitors have been arriving by hun

BIG DIVERSITY OF OPINION.
Morrison a FaVorite Candi-
date Of the Democrats
for President.
HESING ASKS SOUND MONEY
He Is Confident the Movement
to Be Begun in Chicago
Will Be a Winner.

CHICAGO, April 5.-The Times
HeT aid will print tomorrow the views
of 1853 of the 204 members of the
Illinois legislature on the silver ques-
ton. Seventy-three favor uncOndi-
tional free coinage and forty-one are
opposed to it; fourteen favor coin
age by international agreement, and
thirteen want coinage of the Ameri-
can product only; twenty-five are
non-committal. Of siXty-seven Dem
ocratic members interviewed, forty
seven are for free coinage and only
four against it. MORRISON is the
favorite Democratic candidate for
president.
In an interview on the subject of
the call for a state convention to
consider the silver question, Post
master Washington Hesing said he
considered it a most unfortunate and
fatal step. This outspoken attempt
to commit the Democratic party to
free coinage, he said, can have only
one effect-to draw from that party
thousands of voters, especially the
Germans. He knows, he said, that
the Germans are almost unanimous
ly in favor of honest money, and for
the maintenance of the parity Of all
money issued by the government
They know well that free. coinage
would necessarily mean the destruc-
ton of the parity of the metals, and
would drive all the gold either out
of the country or into stockings.
Any declaration of principle said
Mr.. Hesing, which repudiates the ma
tional platform of 1892, the state plat
form of 1894, and is in opposition to
the determined and consistent position
maintained by President Cleveland in
behalf of the parity of these metals,
must inevitably lead to permanent
and irreVocable split within the De-
mocracy and drive from it's ranks all
advocates of and believers in honest
money. 1t might be better put by
stating that it would drive free coin
age advocates out of the Democratic
party, and mean the formation of a
free coinage party. Both would mean
about the Same-the absolute destruc-
ton of the Democratic party as such.
and the REIMBURSEMENT. Of any and all
claim as one of the two great parties
OF the country-as one of the two great
parties destined to govern.
Three weeks ago I had a consulta-
ton with President Cleveland on this
subject. His views are well known.
He expressed to me the hope that the
beginning of the movement for honest
money would be made in this city. for
he felt that Chicago, with it's push and
enthusiasm, could give an impetus to
the movement such as could nowhere
else be found. Such movement should
be started

ALTGELD A SILVERITE.
Illinois Governor Says State Dem
ocrats Will Declare for Free
Coinage.

CHICAGO, April SIN an interview
here today, Gen. Altgeld minated
that the Democratic party of Illinois
will probably declare for free silver at
the state convention to be held June
8. 81 believe" said the governor.
THAT four-fifths of the Democrats
and Republicans of the state are at
the present time in favor of free sill
yer, L mean by this that if the senti-
ment of the votes could be obtained
without any political coloring, it
would show belief in free silver"
DO you think that with this feel
ing prevailing the Democrats will put
a free silver plank in the platform
adopted at the state convention?' he
was asked.
well, no, can't. say as to that, be-
cause there is no telling what may
take place between now and the time
for holding the convention. I will not
attempt to make a prediction, but I
will say that the feeling in both parties
is in favor of free silver. The
southern part of the state is unit
for it. The enthusiasm extends up as
far as the central portion and 1 be-
lieve that the sentiment in that dis
trfct alone is strong enough to control
the policy of the entire state in the

train from the West. They acted
strangely and the woman did not want
to go to the hotel, but they went
there together. The man registered as
Frank Robin, of South Haven, Mich.
The woman is not mentioned on the
register, but they were both assigned
to the same room. The man gave
orders not to be called this morning,
as they wished to rest as long as pos
sible. The clerk raped on their door
this morning and got no response.
The door was then forced, and the
couple were found lying dead in bed.
There was no evidence of a struggle or
violence. A paper lay on the floor,
labeled strychnine. Both held hand
kerchiefS in their hands as though
chloroform had been used. The man
is younger than the woman and both
have light compilations. On one of
the mans cuffs is the name Sudge
Whitney, which had been partly
erased. The affair is a deep mystery.

freight. On the train were sixty la
borers and tramps, most of whom had
just quit work on the drainage canal
near Chicago.
The accident occurred on Wood
bridge, which is an open structure,
seventy-five feet above water. There
is down-grade here and the engineer
applied air brakes to the front cars,
as is customary. In the middle of the
train was an empty car, and back Of
this a number of heavily laden box
cars. When the air was applied, the
heavy cars forced the fiat car off the
track, and in an instant fourteen cars
went over the bridge. The scene fol-
lowing was one of heartrending dis
tress. 1t was yet dark; and chaos
reigned. The injured were brought
to the hospital here. The wreck is on
the cutoff" so that trains were not
delayed. None of the train crew were
hurt, as the middle cars only went
over the bridge.

SUFFRAGE IN UTAH.
Women Won After u Decidedly
Warm Contest.


SALT LAKE, Utah, April 5.-The
woman suffrage article which was
passed to a third reading by the cen
vention several days ago, came up
again today on a motion to recomrnit
with instructions to present the ques-
ton to the people in a different ar
ticle. The most of the day was spent
in the discussion of the subject. Able
speeches were made on both sides.
The motion to recommit was lost, ~
to So. A vote to adopt the article was
carried, rs to II, and it now goes to
the committee on revision. Unless
the opposition can muster votes enough
to have today's action reconsidered,
woman suffrage in Utah may be con-
sidered an accomplished fact.
A largely attended meeting was held
this afternoon to protest against
woman suffrage, and another meeting
is being held at the exposition hall
tonight to discuss the question Tie
opposition has been seeking delay,
claiming that numerous petitions
against the measure would reach the
convention within few days.

GRESHAM MISSING.
Secretary Is Believed to Have
Quietly Started on u Vacation.


WASHINGTON, April SIT is not
improbable that Secretary Gresham
left Washington quietly this afternoon
without giving public notice of his
intentions SO to do. No informa ton
could be secured at the Arlington
where he resides, except that the
secretary of state was not in and the
hotel clerks could not say where he
was or when he would return Mr..
Gresham was not at his rooms during
the evening and at midnight had not
been to his apartments. There is good
reason to believe that he has start
on a short vacation to recuperate his
health as his purpose to do this was
announced few DAVIS ago. 1t is
thought that he left for the West,
though no definite statement could be
secured. Mrs. Gresham is still in the
city.

his sweetheart, Miss Kate Early. in
Omaha, today. In a letter taken from
the corpse addressed to the press, he
explained that he came to the city this
morning in the hope of persuading
Miss Early to consummate their en-
gagement of many months. She had
suddenly acquainted him with the fact
that she was already married and he
had arranged to commit suicide. To
this story, Miss Early replies she was
merely Colvin's FREUD, never had prom
tsed to marry him, and denies that she
is married woman. She gave vent to
these words while the blood was still
trucking from the wounds of the man
who had penned but a few hours be-
fore the accusation against her. Miss
Eary resides at Columbus, Neb., where
her father is merchant Six months
ago, Colvin's letter explains, they be-
came engaged. According to agree
ment they met at the Mccain home,to
marry. Colvin declares that Miss
Early's wedding clothes were prepared
and he believed they would go to the
altar before he returned home. This
morning he called on the young woman
