sILvERITEs VERY STRONG.
They Are Pretty Apt to Carry the

Chicago, April 2S.-John Mayo Palmer,
a son Of United States Senator Palmer,
and a member Of the executive COM
mittee Of the Honest Money League. re-
turned yesterday from Springfield. lie

Gratis of the state have nearly all h6cked

met old friends, with whom I could talk
coniidentially and got the impressOn that
while there is a very strong and respect
able sentiment throughout the stae in
opposition TO this currency theory, yet
the opponents of is 10 / are without or
ganzatiOn, apparently without any ambi-
tlon to sucseed and are singularly silent,
while the silver men are vigorous, active
and aggressive.
1T seemed to me utterly impossible that
the opponents OF is to 1 silver should they
take part in the June convention could
make any serious Impression. The con-
Yention will unquestionably declare in
favor of 16 to !. without conference with
any nation.
I'VE oppose that view, although there
are some differences of opinion among us.
and Will, as rule, take no part I'm the con-
vention, although in some counties dele
cations will be sent composed Of leading
men, representing both views, wholly ire
spective OF the sentiment in the particular
locality.
There has been a great deal of unnec-
essary personal criticism and controversy
over this subject, which is very much to be
deplored. There will be a good deal of talk
about reading men out of the party
The immediate effect of the expected
declaration VIII be TO disorganize the
Democratic party in this state II such a
thing is possible. The ultimate effect
should the currency question be the promi-
nent one of 1896. win be the re-organiza-
ton of the both parties on new lines.
Those who, like myself may be called
may be able 20 induce the June convention
10 declare that 1t Is inexpedient to draw
party lines upon the silver question by a
state convention. but confess / have no
very great confidence that we will be able
to secure this. Unless the refusal Of the
democrats who agree with me 10 take
part in the convention shall lead the
party elsewhere to believe that democratic
sentiment is not thoroughly represented
by the convention, this declaration will
have a very strong effect and powerful in
fluence upon the parties in the western
and southern states. but will not affect
anything east of Ohio"
Mr. Palmer believes that the only way
to overcome the existing free silver craze
on the lines proposed by the Honest Mon
ey League.

RETURN OF THE CRUISERS.

Anchor on Gotham.

New York, April 2S.-The United States

without any extensive alterations or re-
pairs.
"The health Of all on board now is
good. When we were at Colon, and in the
neighbOrhoOd, a number of the men were
attacked by fever and We had to send
them home.

All the officers were loud in their praises
of the Columbia They said she -bFexe the

under one-half boiler power. For the
last nine hours the power was increased
TO five-eighths and the vessel then aver
aged 1715 knots. She made the run from
here to Kingston in three days and twen-
ty-three hours, according to the log. That
beats the best run by several hours. An

PheIan's Dismissal.

Asbury Park, N. j., April 2S.-In the
Westminster church of Asbury Park to-
night petition was circulated among the
congregation as follows:
To His Reverence, Monsignor Satoln,
Roman Catholic University. Washington.
d. c.; We, the undersigned Christian
Endeavorers of Asbury Park, N. j., re-
spectfully call your attention to the
wicked, false and slanderous statements
published by Father Phelan, one of your
priests in st. Louis. This base and inex-
cusable assault is made upon more than
100000 piouS earnest, Cody and ire
proachable young Christians in America
1t is unparalleled in its baseness and enor-
nifty, and should consign its author to
everlasting infamy and contempt. We,
therefore, ask that the creature from
which it emanated be degradated, un-
frocked and deposed from the high posi-
tion which he has so releptlessly dis
graced. We are encouraged to make this
petition from the many protestations
which you,' as well as the holy see you
ably represent, have recently fully and
earnestly made. with full confidence that
you will give it immediate and careful
consideration.
Tomorrow this petition will be taken
in hand by the Epworth League and Chris
place and Ocean Grove. When this is
done, the petition will be forwarded to Mgr
Satolli at Washington.
Prior to the circulation of this petition
into the church, Rev. J. =. Dawson, the
pastor preached on the subject Father
Phelan's~ base attack upon the young la
dies of America"
He scored Father Phelan severely
Among the pointed passages were the
following: Judas Iscariot was a gentle
man compared with this shameless priest
1 would not be surprised If Iscariot would
decline to recognize him below
Father, confessor God pity the poor
girl that should ever be so silly as to
whisper her secrets In such a swine's ear
Retraction is no remedy. Swift and ader
quate punishment alone Will reach the
case and IL it does not soon follow the
whole Romish church authorities will be
held pesponSible"

FRANCES FATAL FLOOD.
The Lives Lost by the bursting OF
the Reservoir Now Put at 13O.

the Reservoirs Now Put at 13O.
Paris. April 2S-Reports OF the devasta-
ton caused by the bursting Of the reser-
voir at Bousey yesterday have been re-
ceived from Epinal hourly this afternoon.
The loss OF life is far beyond the first
estimates. About 100 deaths are now known
to have been caused by the food, and the
list may grow. as in the confusion and
ruin it has been impossible to account for
scores OF persons who are missing Tho
search for dead bodies is still in progress.
Thirty or more of the dead were buried
to-day.
The villages and peasant farms 10 the
path OF the flood are strewn with the
wrecks OF buildings and are covered with
heavy layers Of mud. More than 100 FAM
tlies are homeless and destitute.
NJ. Leygues. minister OF the interior.
has gone with staff of officials TO the
afflicted district to distribute money
among the needy. Most of the towns
near Epinal have sent food and clothing
to the destitute sufferers.
A large part of tha valley is little more
than a mOrass, with timbers and uprooted
trees protruding from the mud. The sol
diers who are looking for bodies make
only slow progress, as the work Of dig
ging in the debris is necessarily slow.
Much damage was done TO villages at
some distance from the dam. AS the food
swept down the valley Il gathered an
immense quantity of timbers and tree
trunks, which We're thrown against the
buildings in the lower neighborhoods. For
the same reason the number OF deaths
In the lower villages was disproporton-
ately great, and more bodies were man
gled than al points nearer the dam.
Part OF the Bousey tavern was found
to-day on the bank of the Moselle. eleven
miles distant. The reservoir Is now emp
ty. For several days Il had been above
the normal level. The exact cause OF
the break Is not known. Some think the
defect was in the plan of the structure,
others assert chat the dam, though orig
inally strong, had been cracked for years
The truth may not be determined until
the official inquiry.
Fifty thousand persons visited to-day
the scenes of desolation in the Aviere val
ley. The little Aviere broke, which ordina-
rily IS but Ave feet wide, has been con-
verted into a lake mile and half broad
Soldiers and workingmen from the depart
ment Of roads are burylng cattle and sheep
as rapidly as possible to prevent disease
Hundreds OF carcasses were put under
ground to-day.
The masonry on the Bousey dam was
begun IN 1879 and finished In 1884. 1t was
strengthened In 1889. The dam was 500
yards long. 66 feet high and the same
thickness at the base, 1t was built against
vertical rock and on sandstone.
