Associated Press Disnst; ny 5oeital Wires.
Washington, d. O., Aug. Ia. The
corridors of the Metropolitan Hotel
were crowded this morning with dele
gates of the conference of silver Demo
Gratis called to meet there to-day for the
purpose of agreeing upon a line of
policy to be pursued in the interest of
silver in the Democratic party.
While the call for the conference issued
by Senators Harris, Turpie and Jones
of Arkansas, did not specify the hour,
the meeting was postponed until noon.
The forenoon was spent in a general
exchange of views and in formulating
plans for the meeting. There was a
larger attendance than had been
counted upon and the hotel was crowd
ed by delegates and silver sympathizers.
The leaders of the movement were anx-
ious to correct the impression that it
was intended the meeting should be a
mass convention.
Among them who appeared early at
the hotel were Senators Jones of Ar
kansas; Daniel and Harris and ex-Sen-
ators Jarvis Of North Carolina and
Walsh of Georgia: Hon. Casey Young
Of Tennessee, who has conducted the
correspondence concerning the confer
ence on behalf of the Senatorial com
mittee and Representatives Cox of Ten
nessee, Otey OF Virginia; Livingstone
of Georgia, Mcneil of Arkansas and
Booskhire of Indiana.
Secretary of State Heinrichsen of
Illinois was prominent figure in the
hotel lobby. No man present was more
generally sought than he. There was an
exceptionally large delegation from Mis-
souri,, including Gov. Stone, Secre-
tary of State Stephens, Judge Hill, W.
M. Ruby, bank president, and George
Allen, railroad man.
Mr.. Josephus Daniels of North Caro-
lima, was one OF the busiest of those
present. Olney Newell, Secretary Of
the State Democratic committee of Col
or;ldo, was the only representative
from the State. "We do not need a
big delegation here till people know
how we stand,'' he said John F.
Salisbury Of Delaware, was the solitary
representative of that State. Mr.. E.
w. Carmack of the Memphis Com
mercial Appeal, " State Senator w. En-
field of Virginia, Allen W. Clark of
West Virginia, John S. Beard of
Florida and Congressman-elec Lock
hart of North Carolina, were also
among the delegates who arrived early.
Mr.. Casey Young, in reply to questions
said that his correspondence indicated
that about two thirds of the States of
the Union would be represented, and
he confirmed the statement that the
meeting was intended to be simply
conference Of Democratic leaders to
shap, the party policy on the silver
question as far as possible.

A telegram was received at the Navy
Department to-day announcing that
Commander Newell has sailed with the
Detroit from Shanghai to Chefo. This
latter port is further from the scene
of the riots than Shanghai, and the
navy officials take this as Indicating
that the United States authorities in
China do not fear further outbreaks,
especially in the region near Shanghai.
Upon receipt of the telegram AS
sistant Secretary McAdoo cabled Adj
miral Carpenter advising him that
there was great deal of apprehension
here that American citizens in China
might lose their lives and property,
and telling him that every possible
effort must be made to protect Ameri-
can citizens. He also asked the adj
miral to cable him at once the real
situation and whether there is danger
Of further disturbances.

ADVICES FROM YOKOHAMA
The Railway Disaster of July
25th Exaggerated.
SIXTEEN KILLED; EIGHTEEN HURT
Thousands of Houses De-
stroyed by a Storm.
Rumors of Changes In the Japanese cabl-
net-count Inouye TO He offered The
management of Foreign Affairs-Ameri
can sbipbuiiders to BE Invited TO Bid for
New War Vessels.


Victoria, B. c., Aug. ii. The
steamer Empress of Japan has arrived
with advices from Yokohama up to
August I'd. The number of deaths re-
ported in the railway disaster of July
25th was greatly exaggerated. Only
16 soldiers We're killed and Is were
more or less seriously injured. The
statement that the train was blown
bodily off the track into the sea is also
discredited. 1t is believed that some
of the rails were displaced by the
waves which were driven by the tenn
pest to great height and that the cars
consequently ran over the edge of an
embankment and were plunged into
the deep water. The effects of the
storm were disastrous in all the south
western provinces of Japan. Thousands
OF fishing boats and other small craft
were sunk and at least 100 lives are
known to have been lost.
Reports of impending cabinet changes
are freely circulated in Toxic and are
largely credited, although entirely
without official confirmation. The ILL
ness of Viscount Mutsu is believed to
be too serious to allow him to resume
the control of the foreign office bust
ness which may fall into disorder if
left long without practical supervision.
Marquis Saionji, the acting foreign
yiscount and minister of public in
struction, finds it impossible to ade-
quately discharge the duties of the
two posts. 1t is also stated that Count
Ito will offer the management Of
foreign affairs to Count Inouye as soon
as the latter returns from Corea, prob
ably before the end of August. Two
other government changes are more or
less confidently predicted Mr.. Ito
Miyoii aspires to a seat in the cabinet
and he is supposed to have earned this
promotion by his excellent success as
secretary 10. the ministry. A place
will be made for him by providing one
of the present seats of departments
with diplomatic station in Europe.
Mr.. Shivano, recently vice minister of
home affairs, is expected, though with
less certainty, to join the cabinet in
the same way.
Chinese officials in Pekin are unable
to resist the temptation to show their
spite toward Japan and disagreeable
part of the new Japanese envoy duties
is to call them to account when they
become offensive. Lii Yamen has
twice been obliged to apologize to Mr..
Hayashi for the publication Of an OBJ
jectionble epitaph "Wojen' in the Off
cial gazette and once for the circula-
tion Of memorial to the Emperor in
which the Japanese people were spoken
of as insular barbarians.
Since the purchase of the iron clad
Stonewall 40 years ago the Japanese
have not looked to the United States
for additions to their navy but it is now
proposed to invite estimates from
American as well as European ship
builders for the new vessels required.

How Britain Annexes an Island.

We know at last how John Bull an- nexed Trinidad in January. Lieutenant Ryan of the Barracouta, landing on the little island in high surf, clambered with his party up the steep rocks, raised tho British flag on spar, appointed the gunner of the Barracouta as governor and the surgeon as medical officer of the domain, and having gravely read Q proclamation of annexation buried it in a bottle at the foot of the flagstaff.
 This performance was supposed to establish claim on the island, as 8 sequel to Halley's visit in 1700. It ap- pears that the spot was generally barren and without sign of animal life, although fresh water was found on the eastern slope and some vegetation near the waters edge. What puzzles the British, however, is why Brazil should want the island, when England could make use of it.-New York Sun.

Chairman Sits With His Feet In Different
 Counties.
 The Republican senatorial convention of Adair and Madison counties, la, has developed remarkable and peculiar as- poets. When the time came for selecting the place for holding the convention, both counties wanted it. As neither would waive its claim, 8 compromise was effected, and the convention was held in a dense forest between the two counties. The chairman sat on the di- viding line with one foot in Adair and one foot in Madison. Each county is en- titled to 12 delegates, and they sat in their respective counties on either side of the dividing line, and in this position the convention deliberated for five days.
 The delegates were chosen on account of their staying qualities, and they are proving their reputation as such, for 8,010 ballots have been taken without B choice, and it is impossible to determine when the deadlock will end.
 The convention temporarily adjourn ed to meet Sept 24, when the struggle will be renewed.
 Thousands of people have visited the senatorial camp, and a daily paper has been printed on the ground. New York World

DIRECTING A PARADE.
Novel Use Made of Electricity at the
 Knights Meet In Boston.

Knights Meet In Boston.
 But the most interesting use of cleo trioity reported by the Knights was that which was made in Boston at the time of the parade of the communicates. It revealed that by the use of electricity great bodies of men can be commanded from @ central station almost as easily as the chess player controls his pieces and pawns. It was a new departure in the way of directing parades in which many thousand men participate.
 Upon a platform, with a telephone at his command and a switchboard con- meeting with dozen or more circuits, sat the general director of the parade. All along the proposed line of the parade there were placed at convenient inter vals skillful men, with a telephone also at their command. They sat upon ele- vated platforms.
 Each one was able to take in at glance 8 considerable section of the parade. All of them saw the whole parade, and they were eyes for the gen. eral director. It was as though he, from his central station, saw that whole parade. Therefore when a break oc- cured anywhere in the line the observer telephoned the fact to the general director, and it many times happened that this director was aware of such break before the commander of the com mandery knew it.
 The director was therefore able in- stantly to communicate with the com mander, telling him to wait until his line had been reformed. Thus the whole parade, containing perhaps 1000 men, moved with the speed, the good order and the ease of battalion in a drill- room, probably the first time that such a thing has been accomplished, except ing, perhaps, by the veterans of the war, upon Pennsylvania avenue, in 1865.
 The method is sure to be adopted everywhere hereafter for the direction of great bodies of men moving in parade. Holland in Philadelphia Press.
