CHICAGO, Aug. "a special to the
Post from Springville, Ills, says for
eigners under the leadership of Ital-
lians, and negroes. who have con-
centrated their forces at Seatonville,
are both organizing today and as the
towns are practically under mob law,
a deadly conflict is anticipated. The
non-English speaking miners of
Spring Valley to the number of 1000
held a mass meeting today and passed
a resolution that no negroes-men.
women or invalids-should be allowed
to remain inside the city limits after
. o'clock tomorrow evening. Speeches
of most inflammatory nature were
made advocating the immediate OPEN
ing up of hostilities.
The negroes at Onville held a meet
ing and organized for active service.
The county has 300 repeating Win
chester rifles stored in the court house
at Princeton for the protection of citi-
zens. and an effort will be made to
secure these. Should this fail. men
will arm themselves with shotguns or
rifles and small arms and make an
effort to regain their homes and house

a resolution that they would continue
to work in the Spring Valley mines
until discharged by the coal company.
As police and sheriff are making no
efforts to arrest the rioters the lawless-

MISSOURI SILVER DEMOCRATS.
Bland Says it is Time to Assume
Control of the Party Machinery.

Bland Says it is Time to Assume
Control of the Party Machinery.
KANSAS CITY. Aug. "a special
to the Star from Pertie Springs, No,
says: Silver Dick Bland arrived
here this morning to lead the forces
and frame resolutions TO be adopted
by the Democratic silver convention
tomorrow. barring Senator Cockrell,
who lives here Bland is the only
star attraction on the ground. Bland
had not been here an hour before he
was out in an emphatic declaration to
a few trusted friends that the time
had arrived when the silver men
should assume control of the party
machinery for publication. He re-
fused to talk, but The statement of
his declaration of war is correct
This declaration is interpreted to
mean that he proposes to try to Gust
the old committee and secure a new
committee favorable to the white
metal.
The state central committee will
meet at noon tomorrow. The COM
mfttee will probably name Bland for
temporary chairman, although Judge
James Gibson, of Kansas City, NJ. E.
Benton of Newton, and j. w. FarriS,
Of Laclede. are casually mentioned.
Governor Stone, it is believed, can
have the permanent craftsmanship if
he wants.
A new scheme was developed today
whereby the silver men intend ITO Sc
cure the state machinery and a ma
jority Of the state committee The
plan is to let the personnel remain
and elect one member from each
congressional district and three from
the state at large, making a COM
mittee of thirty-four members instead
of sixteen as now.

PERTLE SPRINGS, Mo, Aug. g.
The state Democratic silver conven-
ton will be called to order at noon
tomorrow. Some 800 delegates are
at the Springs tonight and $50 more
are expected by morning. The at
/ tendance is much larger than was pre-
dicted by the sound money men, or
anticipated by the silver advocates.
That the convention will declare for
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
YER admits of no doubt The only
question of Importance is, VIII the
convention oppose the state cent? Z
committee Congressman Bland hs 6
been working hard to accOmpl,s4
such purpose all the afternoon and
until midnight. Senator CocIxrel.
Governor Stone, Congressman Dear
mond and a dozen other prominent
Democrats have been working to de-
feat such an extreme measure. From
indications tonight a compromise viii
be effected by allowing the convention
10 name new members of the commits
Tee; that is, one for each congressional
district and three at large. The silver
men are in a majority so oVerWhelm-
lngly that opposition to any pro-
| gramme that they agree TO would be
the height of folly. Tonight the old
confederate element is talking har-
mony; that is, harmony with teeth,
which means if the Democrats do not
get together they will lose the state
( in 1896. 1t seems almost a certainty
that the state central committee will
come out of the fight badly singed and
1t will have a great fight to havA an
existence when the convention adj
/ jOurns. The talk tonight is that Con-
gresham Bland will be temporary
chairman of the convention and Sena-
tor Cockrell permanent chairman.
| Governor Stone, Congressman Bland
and few of the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party held a secret conference
late tonight with view of harmonic
ing the various contentious regarding
the state central committee. The con-
/ ference was in session several hours
and the discussion was a heated one
There is no doubt at the hour of adj
/ jOurnment no agreement had been
reached. Early in the day Governor
Stone was with Bland to GUST the
present state committee but tonight
| the governor is on the other side OF
the fence and is strongly in favor Of
avoiding any conflict in the convex
ton which might terminate in
split in the Democracy of Miss-6lri
Bland is determined to secure a Vate
committee which is favorable to- sill
yer, so that the battle next year may
| be fought for free silver. But if
Bland carries his point there will I'M.
| doubtedly be "a hot time in the con-
vention tomorrow. Unless the cOnseIsH
natives secure the ascendancy by the
time of the meeting tomorrow nothing
can stop contention on the floor, as
Bland is slated for a, speech.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. COMBINE
To Develop the Possibilities of the
Tesla Motor.

PFrTSBURG, Aug. 5.-W. P. Up
degraff, private secretary to George
Westinghouse. jr., in explaining the
scope Of the affiiation of the interests
of the Westinghouse Electric com
pany, said: 1.-THE combination is to
develop the possibilities of the Tesla.
motor as applied to the railway ser
vice. We intend to make it possible to
ride from New York to Pittsburg in
three hours. With the Tesla motor
we are assured power to draw a car
at the rate of 80 miles an hour or
more. The only thing now is to get
the cars and car wheels that will
stand the strain of travelling at that
rate of speed. The Baldwin people as
sure us that this can be done We
now have the system working at our
plant al Fast Pittsburg, the only
trouble being to get a car that will
remain On the track. We believe that
with this union of interests we will
he able to perfect the electric rail-
way system, and I can assure you
that by the year 1900 or possibly
sooner, the line will be in operation
between Pittsburg and New York
The present railway tracks cannot be
used. We want air lines. The cars
will be very light and on the princi-
pie of an air line. We can run them
on trestle work that would not bear
the weight of a Pullman coach. We
intend to cross the mountains by
lifts.
1T is only intended to use the lines
for passengers, mail and express
trains. There will be no engines,
each car being provided with its own
motor. y car will not stop until it
reaches its point Of destination. We
have also perfected a block system
which makes it impossible for two
trains to run on the same block As
soon as a train gets on a block on
which there is already a train, the
power for the last one entering is
shut off. The interests of the two
corporations are not to be combined
for anything beyond the development
of the railway"

EXPERT COUNTERFEITERS.
SECRET SERVICE MEN CAPTURE
THE WHOLE GANG.
For Two Years Past They Had Been
Engraving and Printing $500 and
500 United States Gold Certifi-
cates-VaIuabIe Plates Found.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The World to-
morrow will say:
The expert counterfeiters who for
two years past have been engraving
and printing $500 and 500 United
States gold certificates and flooding
Canada with notes of similar denomin-
atoms, have been discovered by Sc
cret service detectives and four of the
gang of five are now locked up in
Jersey City. The fifth member, the
hacker, was arrested but escaped.
Brockway, the most expert forger and
counterfeiter in this country, is prob
ably the principal. He is now 70 years
of age. The man who supplied the
funds for the plant was DR.. .. Il.
Bradford, who has heretofore managed
to escape suspicion. The other mem
bers of the gang are Libbie Smith,
cousin of Bradford; Sandy Smith, the
engraver of the party, and who is said
TO be Libbie's husband; William 5.
Wagner The plates and paper secured
by the detectives shows this to be
the most successful gang that has
operated in this country for years. Be
sides valuable plates for both United
States and Canadian notes, 100000 in
Canadian currency with the reverse
side all printed was discovered. A
sufficient amount of fibre paper to print
$4,000 more of Canadian money was
also located
Smith, the engraver, was not found
until a late hour tonight. He is the son
of a noted counterfeiter, Charles r.
Smith.
Counterfeit Canadian money was
found on the persons of each one OF
the four arrested and the secret SER
vice officers say they have a clear
case that they have been making and
uttering counterfeit gold certificates
of the denominations of $500 and 500.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The official
report of Captain Sumner, commander
of the Columbia, upon the speed test
of that vessel on the run across the
Atlantic, reached the navy department
today and is mainly an elaboration of
the succinct statements of the voyage
made by the captain when he arrived
at New York. He says that he made
the run in 6 days, % hours and 40
minutes. The quantity of coal on
board at the time of departure was
1,S611a tons, of which Lii tons and
1,1S0 pounds were consumed; the
draught forward was &c feet, 8 inches,
and aft % feet, inches. Captain Sum-
ner says:
1T was not deemed practicable to
make the last twenty-four hours
run under forced draught because of
the unreliability of boilers. eve were
blowing out tubes at 140 pounds.) The
loose state of the engines from the
long run, the great fatigue of the
crew, and, above all, the impractical
bility of getting a coal supply to the
boilers with sufficient rapidity from
where the coal was located at this
stage of the run, were the reasons.
The run has involved excessive labor
on the part of most of the ships COM
pany, for we had twelve volunteers
from the deck on duty in the fire rooms
for the whole run and forty-eight
more men from the deck have been en-
ployed below for some days past in
supplying the lower bunkers with coal
from the wing passages"
The experience of the Columbia in
her ocean race against time has served
to direct the attention of the engineer
officers to the pressing need for radi-
cal change in the present system of
arranging coal bunkers. 1t has come
to be the practice of late years to sub
divide the interior of ships hull, al
lotting space for boilers, engines, sleep
ing quarters, guns, ammunition,
magazines, and for every other pur-
pose, and then to fill in the vacant
corners with coal bunkers. The result
is as shown in the case of the Column
bia that these bunkerS are often al
most inaccessible and the contents can
be reached by only one man at time,
thus preventing the easy supply of the
boilers with coal and consequently re-
ducing the speed of the ship. This is
particularly true of the bunkers when
empty, for they are generally arranged
in groups communicating with one
another by small doors and the fire
men must drag the coal through
several bunkers to get it to the fur
naces.
Acting Secretary McAdoo today ap-
pointed q board consisting of Commo-
dore Selfridge, Chief Engineer Farmer
and Naval Constructor Bowles to make
a complete examination of the damage
done to the Columbia. when she was
locked at Southampton. The acting
secretary requires the board to make
a report of the damage sustained and
the repairs that will be necessary.

CONDITION OF THE ARnrENIANs.

LONDON, Aug. 5.-The Daily News
has advices dated Armenia, July 29,
which say:
The condition of the Armenians is
worse than ever. They regard Shakir
Pasha as their worst enemy and his
appointment as a contemptuOus de-
fiance of Europe's demand. Deliberate
persecution, slaughter and pillage of
the Armenians are pursued today with
the same ruthless vigor and fendish
ingenuity as in former years. Arms
are distributed among the Moslems in
the frontier districts and every day
news arrives of fresh murders, whole
sale imprisonments and pillages. The
authorities in the great towns from
time to time march heavily manacled
gangs of limping and wounded Ar
menian prisoners through the streets.
If the sultan is counting revolution he
will surely have his way. Unless the
persecution is stopped the country will
soon be in such a blaze that nothing
short of Russian occupation will extin-
guish.
Dwelling as they do in miserable
poverty with the Armenians the CORE
spondent extolls the devotion of the
Armenian missionaries, Reynolds and
Cole.

A. P. A. ANSWERS.
COnstitutionaIity of the Law VIII
BE Tested.


OMAHA, Aug. The answer of The A.
P A. police commissioners to the petition
of the regular board OF the fire and no
lice commission was filed N the district
court today. The hearing comes up in the
morning and will be IN the nature Of a
test of the conStitutionality of the new
law under which the \. p. A board is
acting The petition claims that a pre-
meditated plan was arranged by certain
individuals to render tho Jaw void Also
that the injunction procured by Mayor
BemiS restraining the city council from
approving the defendants bonds and say
they We're procured with fraudulent pur-
pose and design.
The answer concludes: IF any dual
board of commissioners exists it will be
because said plaintiffs, in violation of law
and in pursuance to q long before preccp-
.certed plan and in pursuance Of an agI.ee-
ment 10 set aside the law and TO violate
the same, will continue through the DO
lice force as aforesaid wronzfully organ
lied, controlled and created to exercise
the functions pertaining to said board.
And the defendants maintain that the
plaintiffs cannot try the cOnstitutionality
of said law in these proceedings
No excitement was noted ia the city to-
day so far as the police middle is con-
cerned.
The only subject now agitating the
members of the police force IS that about
payment of salaries. All salaries for last
months are tide up. While the seventy-flve
special policemen appointed by Mayor
Bemis have been discharged until further
notice, it is given out that the further
notice was Interpreted TO mean report
for duty Tuesday morning"
A special TO the Bee from Lincoln,
Neb., says: Papers were filed with the
clerk of the supreme court today in re-
lation to Mayor Bemis, member of the old
board of fire and police commissioners as
plaintiff in proceedings in the nature of a
quo warranto to test the authority under
which the A. p. a commission assumes
to have been appointed. This will force
a decision from the highest tribunal of
the state on the mooted question.
The attorney general also began quo
preme court to force the old police COM
mission TO show by what authority it
acts. This will also act as a test and
gains what the better element has de-
manded, a decision that will definitely
determine the dispute. The case cannot
come up before October

IN BUSH'S BEHALF.
Appeal to Minister Dun in the APP
prentice's Behalf.

NEW YORK, Aug. "a special to
the Herald from Washington, D. c.,
says: Minister Dun has been appealed
to to dispose of the case of John
Thomas Bush, an apprentice attached
to the gunboat Yorktown, who was re-
Gently arrested on the charge of muir
dering a Japanese in Nagasaki, Japan.
Rear Admiral Carpenter, command
ing the Asiatic station, has informed
the navy department that the trial Of
Bush, on a charge of manslaughter
before a consular court, resulted in a
disagreement of those hearing it. Ac-
cording to the principles of inter-
national law, which would follow in
this trial, the consul was assisted in
hearing the case by four associates.
Bush is a mulatto and comes from
Washington, D. c. During a drunken
brawl in Nagasaki, SO it is alleged. he
pulled a razor from his pocket and
severely cut a japanese, death result
ing therefrom. The consul and his
associates were unable TO reach an
agreement when all the evidence had
been submitted and tie case has ac-
cordingly gone before the minister.
