RESPONSIBLE FOR CRIME.
An Earnest Arraignment of the
Government of Turkey and
Its Agents.
PROPOSALS OF THE EX.PREMIER
The Grand Old Man Forcibly Sets
Forth the Stern Duty of the
Powers.

LONDON, ENG, Aug. GA pro-Arme-
MAN meeting, presided over by the Duke
of Westminster, was held at Chester this
afternoon.
Mr.. Gladstone was present, and said he
was glad to learn that the sentiment on
the Armenian question in America was
even stronger than in this country. When
he spoke upon the subject six months ago
he advised his hearers to avoid forming a
premature judgment, but evidence was
forthcoming which showed that unspeaka-
bic crimes were committed in Armenia day
after day which were far beyond the out
RACES in Sassoun in horror. The acts of
violence committed, Mr.. Gladstone de.
clared, may be truthfully summed up in
the four awful words-plunder, murder,
assault and torture.
The Government at Constantinople and
its agents were, he asserted, responsible for
the crimes, and it was necessary that the
responsibility for their acts should be
brought home to them.
Mr.. Gladstone continued that as America
had no political interest in the Levant her
witnesses were doubly entitled to credit
The treaty Of 1856, he said, gave the powers
the right to march into Armenia and take
the government out of the hands of Tur-
key, and under the treaty of 1873 the Sui
tan was bound to carry out reforms.
The ex-Premier made three proposals
First, that the demands of the powers
should be moderate; second. that no prom
Uses of Turkish authorities should be &C
cepted, and third, that the powers should
NOT foo tho rrord
1--WE have reached a critical position, -
said Mr.. Gladstone in conclusion, land
the honor of the powers is pledged to the
institution of reforms in Armenia
A resolution was then proposed, express
ing the conviction that the Government
would have the support of the entire
nation in any measures it might adopt to
secure in Armenia reforms guaranteeing to
the inhabitants safety of life, honor, reli-
gion and property; and that no reforms
can be effected that are not placed under
the continuous control of the great powers
of Europe.
The resolution was seconded by the Rev.
Canon Malcolm Macoll and was adopted.
A letter from Lord Salisbury, the Prime
Minister, was read, acknowledging the
donation by the Duke of Westminster of
$1,000 to the Armenian relief fund, and
giving Sir Philip Wodehouse Currie, the
British ambassador at Constantinople,
full discretion as to how it shall be distrib-
uted.

by free and unlimited coinage of silver.
Gold would be expelled from circulation
together with every bit of paper redeem
able in gold, and panic the like of which
has not been seen in the generation would
result
''Coins of unequal value cannot be made
to circulate side by side, but the cheaper
will invariably drive the dearer into re-
tirement," the speaker said. 'The one
thing that makes the silver dollar on par
with gold to-day is because the Govern
ment treats them the same as
gold, and the belief that the Government
can at all times maintain them on the
equality with gold. Under free coinage
there would be no such restraint. Relieve
the Government of the responsibility of
maintaining the silver dollar thus issued
at parity with gold, and every dollar
coined would at once sink to its CONNER
cial value and be worth no more than the
market value of the bullion it contained"
In conclusion Senator Burrows said: II
would not have it inferred that am OPP
posed to the use of silver in our monetary
system. | am thorough bimetallist, be-
heving in the use of both gold and silver,
maintaining at all times the equality OF all
our dollars whether paper or coin. Our
present system is bimetallism in practice
and not in theory"

MRS. GARDNER is FOUND
The Missing Christian EndeaV-
orer Teaching School in
a Town.
No Longer Any Fear That the Dele
gate Met With Foul
Play.

BOSTON, MASS. Aug. 6.-The missing
Christian Endeavor delegate, Mrs. Anna
NJ. Gardner of Arcadia, Nebr., has been
located and is teaching school in a Con-
necticut town.
The case of Mrs. Gardner was a strange
one. She came to Boston as delegate to
the Christian Endeavor convention from
Arcadia, Nebr., and stayed with friends
while the convention was in session. When
her husband received letter from her on
July Is stating that she was about to die
he was greatly surprised, as she mad always
been healthy and he had heard nothing of
any illness contracted in Boston. This
letter was quickly followed by another,
signed J. Brown of South Boston, in
which the husband was informed that his
wife had died and that her body had been
buried in Boston.
Gardner was not satisfied with the con.
dition of things and started an investiga-
ton. He found that there was no record
in Boston of the death of Mrs. Gardner
He could not find ]. Brown, whose name
was signed to the letter announcing his
wife's death, but he found a young woman
postal clerk who remembered the mailing
of the John Brown letter, and said that il
was mailed by woman answering Mrs.
Gardeners description.
1t was feared that Mrs. Gardner might
have been the victim of foul play, as she
was known to have considerable money
and jewelry IN her possession, and the
police force worked hard to solve the prob
lem of her disappearance, with the result
that she has been found peacefully teach
ing school in Connecticut

In 1879 he joined what was known as the
American deputation. body of eighty
capitalists and spectators, who went to
Mexico and opened up the Santa Rita
mines at Moves, near Zacatecas. Dwyer
was instrumental in securing English
capital to the amount of EAT, 900 for this
enterprise and at first made much money,
but was finally frozen out by his colleagues

THE SILVER DEMoCRArs.
Large attendance of the Convention 1,
Texas.


TecGs.
FORT WORTH, TEX, Aug. 6.-The
State Democratic Free Silver Convention
was called to order to-day, and the attend
ance was considerable surprise to those
who had predicted small attendance.
About 1000 delegates responded when Hon.
A. C. Owsley of Denton called for order.
Hon. Bryan T. Barry of Dallas was made
temporary chairman. Committees were
appointed on resolutions, permanent or
ganization and basis of representation.
Ex-senator Reagan was invited to address
the convention in the afternoon.
The sensation of the forenoon session
was created by motion that complete
list of delegates be made out in order to
give the lie to those newspapers that had
been saying that the free-silver conven-
tions were made up chiefly of Republicans,
negroes and Populists, with slight sprink-
ling of Democrats. The afternoon was
| almost entirely taken up with speech
making, Senator Reagan making the lead
ing speech of the day. The committees on
resolutions and platform could not come
to an agreement.
Letters were read from Senators Morgan
Of Alabama and Jones of Arkansas, and a
telegram from R. P. Bland, chairman of
the Democratic silver convention of Mis-
souri,, in session at Pertle Springs. The
convention then adjourned until $50 P. NJ.
AT the night session resolutions were
| passed declaring in favor of free coinage
of silver at 16 to /, independent of inter-
national agreement, and condemning the
financial policy of the present administra-

MUSCOGEE, 1. T., Aug. = Frank
Buck, the young bandit leader who in COM
pany with three others of his gang last
week murdered Deputy Marshal Garrett at
Okmulgee, has added more fiendish crimes
to his list. On Sunday he and pal were
riding along the highway west of the CEN

white man and his daughter travelling in a
wagon. Buck ordered the girl out of the
wagon, and threatened to kill them both if
she did not She got out, and in sight OF
her father Buck and his pal assaulted her.
On Sunday evening the desperadoes met
Benton Callahan, a stockman and mem
Der of one of the leading families of the
Nation, in pasture about twenty miles
southwest of here. A negro boy was with
Callahan. The bandits robbed them and
compelled them to unsaddle their horses
and then required them to mount the
horses bareback. They told them to run
or they would kill them. Callahan and
the negro began running for their life.
They were shot at repeatedly, one ball
grazing Callahan's head, another went
through his ear, and passed through the
boys body, killing him.

Contention.
MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa, Aug. 6.-The
prospect is for the hottest sort of fight
over the financial question in the Demo
cratic State Convention, which meets here
tomorrow. The free-silver element devel-
oped unexpected strength this afternoon.
The leaders demand free-coinage plank
and will not talk of compromise. The
sound-money men have given up hope of
keeping the contest out of the convention,
and both sides are waiting for the final test
of strength. The free-coinage delegates
who were here held caucus ffis afternoon
Sam B. Evans of Ottumwa presided. About
200 we're present. Radical addresses were
made by Colonel G. H. Mackey of Sigour-
ney, E. NJ. Carr of Manchester and others.
Colonel Mackey declared that the Cleve-
land hirelings wearing WalI-street collars
were attempting to dominate the conven-
tom and that they were assisted by the
corporation interests of the State.
Mr.. Carr, in the course of his address,
said: "Our forefathers fought and bled for
commercial freedom. We will, if neces-
sary, fight and bleed for financial freedom. :"
OtICio LAld6 buC DeUHOCTdIlC party
would better be dead than to longer remain
untrue to the interests of the common
people.
The caucus determined to make fight
to secure a free-silver man for permanent
chairman. E. M. Carr was selected to pre-
sent the demands OF the silver element on
the floor. He will not insist uron a men
ton of the ratio of Is to 1, but will accept
nothing less than a declaration in favor of
the restoration of silver to its position
prior to the demonstration act of 1873.
The sound money leaders also held a
caucus this afternoon. They selected can
didates to be supported by the sound
money men for places on the committee
on resolutions. and also arranged for an
organization of their forces. They cam
vassed the subject of candidates, and
agreed that the following would be accept

WIthdrnscaEs of Gold.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 6.-Treas-
ury officials look for withdrawal of about
two and half millions of gold this week,
unofficial advices being to the effect that
the large coffee, importing houses will
make such demand. The situation, how
ever, occasions no uneasiness in Washing
ton official circles, nor in Wall street, as it
is well understood that this withdrawal is
not conducted by spectators. Just what
the syndicate will do is question upon
which the treasury officials say they are
not advised. If it sees fit to fill up the
hole it will do so without consulting them.
The gold reserve to-day stood at $104,-
549,059, but it is expected that by Saturday
this will be reduced to $102, 000, 900.

CUTTING COAL RATES.
Anthracite Mine Otcners to Take Matters
la Their OtCn Hands.

NEW YORK, N. Y. Aug. 6.-The Morn
ing Journal says: AS result of daily in
creasing decentralization in coal rates
caused by the coal-carrying roads, the in
dividual anthracite operators have decided
to take matters in their own hands. Yes
terday it was announced that they will at
once place 10000 tons of anthracite on
the market at 81 ton, unless prompt ac-
ton is taken by the coal roads to restore
prices and to limit the output.
The Central Railroad of New Jersey, the
Philadelphia and Reading, the Susque-
hanna and Western, and the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western have been
blamed for the trouble. The individual
operators have addressed themselves par
tlcularly to these lines at any rate. and
now they await the outcome. A few days
will tell the story. Rumors of coal presi-
dents meeting were heard yesterday, but
could not be confirmed.
