THE SILVER CONFERENCE.
The Plan to Form New Party Meets
With Little Favor.

The Plan to Form n New Party Meets
With Little Favor.
SALT LAKE, May 1.-THE second day
Of the silver convention was devoted to
active business both in session and
committee room. The morning meet
ing was held behind closed doors, the
account of the proceedings being given
out by the secretary. The entire ses-
sion was given over to the expression of
individual views as to the best plan of
procedure,
1t is noticeable that all the talk is in
a moderate strain and that the PROPOSE
tion to form a new party with silver as
its only battle-cry does not find much
favor. The delegates are almost unani-
nous that the fight should be made
within the ranks of the old parties and
that all parties should bind themselves
to send no delegates to congress who
are not pledged to the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of l6 to l.
A synopsis of the various views pre-
sented By the leading members during
the executive session is as follows:
The Montana delegation was unani-
nous in agreeing that honest money
leagues should be organized in every
precinct, county and state. These
leagues should agree to n specific plan
of raising money to distribute litera-
ture throughout the middle states. All
prominent mining companies should be
asked to pay certain assessments per
month to aid in the work.
Gen. Price, of New Mexico, wanted
headquarters opened up in New York
City to distribute and to hold meetings
to be addressed by prominent men, ir-
respective of party, who should talk
exclusively on honest money.
Congressman Shaffroth, of Colorado,
was in favor of fighting from the Jump
and declared that henceforth each po-
litical party should instruct its dele
gates to the national conventions to re-
tire unless they secure candidate and
plank for silver. The democrats and
republicans can go to their respective
conventions loaded for bear and let the
east know they are there for but one
purpose.
Gov. Adams, of Colorado, sal it was
easy to win battle at the conference
but that when in the field the silver
men will not find Chinese army or q
LII Hung Chang to fight. They will
meet the finest equipped army in the
world, with the money power of the
world behind it and all Inducements in
favor of gold.
Gen. Jones, of Washington, wanted
the proceedings of the Brussels con
ference freely distributed and said il
was queer that the authorities iH Wash
ington said the supply was exhausted

A BOOM IN WHEAT.

The Price Advances Two Cents In Ono
Day on Account of Reports of Damage
by FrOsts and Insects.
CHICAGO, May 17.-Just before the
close of the board of trade yesterday
wheat took squirt to the top figure for
many months, GSs5 cents, an advance
of just two cents from the closing price
Wednesday. A short time after the
opening, July wheat sold down to 05%
cents. Many spectators predicted 75-
cent wheat before June 1, while the
more enthusiastic bulls talked of wheat
going up until the dollar mark is
reached again.
AS soon as trading began, buying or
ders poured into every commission
house from al parts of the country.
The reason became apparent when re-
ports came from dozen points in Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Indiana and Illinois that
the chinch bug and the Hessian fly
were devastating the wheat fields. Re-
ports of frost damage added to the bull
influence. 1t was estimated that the
Kansas crop would be cut down by
damage to 90, 100000 bushels.

TO PREVENT TROUBLE.

The Revenue Cutter Perry Is Hurrying to
Berlng Sea to Avert Complications With
Great Britain.
SAN Francisco, May 1.-THE reve-
nue. cutter Commodore Perry, which
left this port Wednesday night in a
hurry, will make all possible haste to
reach Bering sea in time to prevent the
patrol fleet, which is now headed for
the sealing grounds, from seizing any
armed vessel, as at present instructed
to do by virtue of the terms of agree
ment with Great Britain, not knowing
of the recent Reputation by that coun-
try.
The British government has practic-
ally decided that interference with
armed sealing vessels flying the Union
Jack will be sufficient ground for claims
for damages, and the hasty departure
of the Perry was for the purpose OF
averting such complications if possible.
