M'GRAWS REASONS
Explains His Failure to Appoint
Silver Delegates.
IS HIMSELF A BIMETALLIST
Claims That Free and Unlimited Coinage
Is Not a Popular Doctrine in
Washington.

Seattle, May 10.-Governor McGraw
has written a letter to Governor Rick
ards of Montana giving his reasons for
declining to appoint delegates to the sill
yer convention at Salt Lake. Governor
McGraw says:
First, executive activity or action
in the matter of naming men to partici-
pate in such conference, when not au-
thorized by legislative direction, should
imply on the one hand sanction by the
public opinion of the commonwealth, or
on the other justification of a plainly
avowed principle of the party of which
the chief magistrate is member; sec
ond, the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to l is not a
popular doctrine in this state; third, 1t
is with unfeigned diffidence that I ven
ture to oppose my views on the money
question in the opinions of gentlemen
who advocate the free coinage of silver
by this nation, regardless of the atti-
tude of other commercial nations. But
l am bimetallist, and it can scarcely
be denied that to put into practice the
monetary theories of Mr.. Merrill and
Mr.. Harvey, the authors of Coins FL
nancial School, would be to immediate
ly put this country on a silver mono
metallic basis"

KENTUCKY JUSTICE
Fulton Gordon, the Murderer,
Set Free.
THE CROWD WENT WILD
Cheer After Cheer of Appreciation OF the
Verdict of the Presiding
Magistrate.

Louisville. May o. The city court
was crowded today when the case of
Fulton Gordon, charged with the muir
der of his wife and Archie Brown was
called. Prosecuting Attorney Thurman
endeavored to show the court that
Gordon's crime was nothing less than
deliberate murder. Attorney Shields
for the defense, asked the dismissal of
the prisoner on the grounds of justifica-
ton. Then Mr.. Scott, who represented
Governor Browne in the prosecution
began a vigorous arraignment of Cor
don, and pictured in glowing colors the
character and qualities OF Archie
Browne.
After the arguments were COM
pleted and the case closed, Judge
Thompson announced that he could not
hold the prisoner and he would dis
charge him. as an object lesson to
other adulterers. Never was a crowd
more demonstrative in its appreciation
than was the immense throng in the
police court when Judge Thompson an
nounced in clear tone the verdict In
the case. Cheer after cheer went up
and hand after hand was thrust out to
the judge to show how much his YER
dict was appreciated. In vain did the
bailiff endeavor to restore order, and
even after the vast throng reached the
street the cheering was kept up. The
last chapter to the most sensational
tragedy in the history of Kentucky
thus ends

Worcester. Mass, May 10.-Philip w.
Moen, president of the Washburn G.
Moen Company of this city. said this
afternoon, regarding the purchase of
the plant of the California Wire Rope
Works by his company:
1.-THE dispatch from San Francisco
relative to this matter Is based on truth.
There has been no combination of the
Washburn-Moen Company with the Cal
ifornia company. however, and will be
none. We have purchased for a frac-
ton of the price mentioned the wire
rope machinery of the California Wire
Rope Works, with the goodwill of that
company. We have also secured con-
troll of patents covering wire rope ma
chinery owned by A. s. Halliday. We
have leased for a term of years the
buildings Of the California company used
for the manufacture of wire rope. The
plant is used principally for the manu-
facture of large wire rope cables for
railways and for use in mines on the
Pacific coast. We have been operating
the plant some little time and have In
process of construction a thousand or
more large cables. The plant will be
operated in conjunction with our plant

Once Used, they are Always in Favor.

Assist Nature little now and then, with
a gentle, cleansing laxative, thereby reniov-
ing offending matter from the stomach and
bowels, toning up and invigorating the liver
and quickening its tardy action, and you
thereby remove the cause of a multitude of
distressing diseases, such as headaches, in
digestion, or dyspepsia, biliousness, PIN
pies, blotches, eruptons, boils, constipa-
ton, piles, hstula and maladies too numer-
GUS to mention.
If people would pay more attention to
properly regulating the action of their
bowels, they would have less frequent
occasion to call for their doctors ser
vices to subdue attacks of dangerous dis
eases.
That, of all known agents to accomplish
this purpose, DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
are unequaled, is proven by the fact that
once used they are always in favor Their
secondary effect IS to keep the bowels open
and regular, not to further constipate as is
the case with other pills. Hence their great
popularity, with sufferers from habitual
constipation, piles and indigestion
They absolutely cure sick headache bill

appetite, dyspepsia and kindred derange-
ments of the stomach, liver and bowels

pREssYTERIANs SHORT OF FUNDS
pittsburg People in a Quandary How 10

Pittsburg. May 10.-Although less
than week will elapse before the open
ing of the general assembly of the Pres
byterian church in the United States,
the local committee which has charge
Of the finances for the entertainment of
the delegates Is in a quandry. At the
outset the committee had decided that
a fund of $4,000 would be sufficient for
its needs, but 1t now finds that nearly
$1,000 additional will be needed, while
even the first named sum is not yet in
sight OF the 600 delegates, less than
one-sixth have been offered entertain
ment in private families, whereas 1t had
been expected that at least one-half Of
the delegates would be thus provided
for. To make matters worse, a large
number of the churches In this city and
Allegheny have failed to respond to the
request to take up collections. The
committee, however. is In hope that the
patriotism of the Presbyterians of Pitts
burg will make itself manifest during
the coming week and that the subscrip-
tions will be large enough to give it
smooth sailing.

A Train Load of Sweetness

To the firm of B. l.. Gordon & Co., of
Spokane, belongs the credit for making
this week the largest single shipment
by any firm In the Pacific northwest. The
shipment consists of u carloads of dry
graduated sugar, the invoice value being
$4,000. The Western Sugar Refinery Co.,
of San Francisco, secured the order, and
the Great Northern railway, through its
local representative, the routing from Sc
attic. As Spokane is comparatively a
young jobbing city, she is to be congratu-
lated that her distributing business re-
quires such large consignments, and the
above named firm is entitled to great
credit for its enterprise, as II is the young
est in business here. 1t is also good evil
dence that the freight rates designed to
increase the territory of Portland job
bers have not made such serious inroads
as anticipated

ADMIRAL MEADE WAS lNDIscREeT

ministration.

Washington, May 10.-There was con-
siderable talk about the navy depart
ment today of a published interview
with Admiral Meade, criticising the ad-
ministration. Criticism of a superior is
an offense, according to the naval reg
ulations. 1t is possible that the secre-
tary of the navy and the president may
pay no attention to the admirals utter
ances, but inasmuch as a court-martial
has been ordered on charges preferred
by Admiral Meade against a surgeon of
the navy for giving certain matter to
the press, the admirars apparent viola
ton of naval regulations may be pre-
scented to the attention of the depart
ment by officers of the navy especially
interested in Surgeon Kershner.
