SILVER ADVOCATES.
An Effort to Mako Democrats Declare
for Free Coinage.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. senator Harris
of Tennessee is the one member of Con-
gress who signed the call for q conference
OF Democrats on the silver question to
take place IN Washington tomorrow who
mas arrived here. Senators Jones OF
Arkansas and Turpie OF Indiana, are the
other two members OF the committee, and
both are expected before the opening of
the conference. The meeting will be
held in the parlors OF the Metropolitan
Hotel, and will continue two or three
days, its duration depending upon the
will OF those present. III Is not intended
that the gathering shall be a mass con-
vention, but merely a meeting of repre-
sentative memb bers OF the country TO the
extent OF two or three from each State
who favor the free coinage OF silver by
the United States independent of other
nations, and who believe the success of
the future is dependent upon its assum-
ing policy OF this kind. The Washing
ton conference grew out OF a meeting at
Memphis in which only Democrats par
ticipated, after the conclusion of the
recent mass convention there, and the
decision to hold IL here was arrived at
after full exchange of views, as IT was
the best place for cooperative action on
the part OF silver Democrats throughout
the country. Knowing there were a
number of Populists and Republicans
present at the meeting, the representa-
tives of either of these parties were in
vited to the conference which authorized
the call.
The meeting here will have two princi-
pal purposes. The frst OF these will be
TO devise plan to hold all silver Demo-
Gratis in the Democratic party. and
second to insure, II possible, a declsra-
tion for free coinage at the next Demo-
cratic convention. To accomplish this
latter purpose it is expected that orga-
nization will be perfected in every State
represented in the conference. The second
purpose shall be that OF selecting delega-
tion pledged TO silver platform, and 70
a candidate i'm favor of its views. II is
expected the men will take charge of this
work in each of the States
Senator Harris thinks about 80 States
will be represented at the conference.

BAXTER MUST GO
Judge Stiness Refuses to
Grant an Injunction
Restraining the Destruction OF The
6rosvenor Palace.
Says City's Action In Dunwell's Gang
way Widening Was Proper.

In rescript filed this morning Justice
Stiness refuses TO grant the temporary
injunction asked for by William III. Bax-
ter against the City of Providence TO re-
strain the demolition of the premises oc-
cupied by him in the Grosvenor Palace in
order TO widen Dunwell's gangway.
There is now no obstacle in the way of
the erection of the proposed new build
ing. The rescript was as follows:
sin the lease given to the complainant
OF the premises at the corner OF Dunwells
gsngway and Weybosset street was the
following clause:
"'And the parties of the first part, for
themselves, their heirs and assigns, fur
ther reserve the right to sell said demised
premises at any time during the said term
OF this lease and, In case of such sale, the
said party OF the second part, for himself
his heirs, legal representatives, and as
signs, agree to surrender and deliver pos
session of said premises at once to said
parties of the first part, their heirs and
assigns and release any further claim on
such demised premises. Z"
"The complalnant's = argument is that this
clause is mere agreement 10 surrender
and not a conditional limitation whereby
a sale operated TO terminate the lease; and
hence, that this lease was not avoided be-
cause there has been no re-entry by the
lessons.
chancellor Kent says, Kent Com.
No. 1873: The distinctions on this subject
are extremely subtle and artificial; and
the construction OF a deed, as to its
operation and effect, will after all depend
less upon artificial than upon the applica-
tion of good sense and sound equity to
the object and spirit Of the contract in
the given case.
81 think there can be no doubt that
the object and intention of the provisions
was 70 terminate the lease in case of sale.
The objection made to it is that it is not
mutual by it's terms. ] do not tn nk this
Is 30. The lessor reserves the right to
sell and the lessee agree TO surrender
possession at once upon sale. The lessee
cannot be compelled by new owner to
hold II against his agreement, and IL the
occupation continued after the sale IL
would be by virtue of a new agreement
between the parties and not by virtue of
the lease. The parties must have meant
that a sale was to terminate the lease ipso
facto, and the lessee's covenant signified
his assent to this. Otherwise no adequate
force can be given to IT.
" Reasonable notice was given to the
lessee, and according to his own agree
ment his right TO remain had expired
when the deed passed. He had, therefore,
no equitable right to the premises when
the land was condemned for a street and,
in my opinion, he presents no equitable
ground for relief when he asks for an IN
junction, in spite of his own agreement
TO surrender possession upon sale.
81 therefore direct the entry of an order
dissolving the ex parte injunction and
denying the motion for temporary IN
junction. ~

YAMPA AND AMPHITRITE.
Much Interest Taken I'm the Race Be-
tween These Yachts

CowEs, Isle of Wight, Aug. 13. "A
great deal of interest is taken here and
elsewhere in yachting circles In the
match race which is TO be sailed tomor-
row under the auspices of the Royal
Yacht Squadron sailing committee be-
tween Mr.. Palmer's crack schooner
Yampa and Mr.. Wills schooner Amphi-
trite for R100 over the old queens
course. This Is the course sailed on
Wednesday last, when Yampa won Lord
Iveagh's 200-guinea cup, but was afterward
disqualified on the protest of Mr.. Wills,
owner OF the Amphitrite, on the ground
that Yampa carried nine more hands
than the regulations allowed. This was
not denied by Mr.. Palmer, who has acted
throughout in n sportsmanlike manner,
the mistake being simply due To his not
knowing the rules before the start in the
race. The contest to be decided tomor-
row was brought about with the view of
allowing Yampa TO definitely decide her
superiority over Amphitrite.
There was no course to take but to dis
qualify Yampa for having broken the
regulation for yacht sailing in cruising
trim.

TO STOP MARINE WARFARE.
The Hope of an Enthusiastic Inventor
of Torpedo.

OAKLAND, CAL, Aug. 13.-Charles +.
McDermott is perfecting an electric SUBJ
marine torpedo, the invention OF DIR. Cross
of Chicago, which, he says, will ulti-
mately put an end TO marine warfare.
With his torpedo, he says, few men
would keep off the combined navies OF
the world The torpedo will be completed
within week. An old iron hulk is to be
fiosted and the torpedo will be sent down
below the surface of the water on its
errand of destruction. Mr.. McDermott is
confident that the new invention will in
stantly scatter and sink the hull. He
says that no warship however strong and
formidable, can survive a shock from his
torpedo. About September l public ex-
hibition will be given by the use of elec-
tricity with combinations of power OF the
explosives. Mr.. McDermott says he can
destroy the staunchest of vessels.

Mr.. CURTIS Is MISSING,
Started for a Camp Meeting Sunday
and Hasn't Been Seen Since.


James III. Curtis, about 81 years old,
has been missing from his home, 81 Har-
rison street, since Sunday morning Mrs.
Curtis spent the latter part OF last week at
the camp meeting at Hehronville, and was
joined by Mr.. Curtis Saturday forenoon.
About 3 O'Clock in the afternoon Mr..

wife that he would return to Hebronville
early the next Monday. He came to the
city and went to his home where he spent
Saturday night, and he LIFT for Hebron
vile at 5 o'clock, Sunday morning, and
since that time nothing has been seen or
heard of him. Mrs. Curtis came to the
city yesterday, and went TO his Office, 619
Butler Exchange, but there was no one
there that had seen him since Saturday
noon. Two weeks ago Mr.. Curtis suf-
fered partial sunstroke and since that
time has complained considerably of feel
ing dizzy at times. His family physician,
DIR. Bennett, advised Mrs. Curtis to have
her husband remain indoors as much as
possible.
Last Tuesday he left his office about 5
O'Clock in the evening, and said that he
was going TO his home, but he did not
reach there until after midnight and he
could not tell his wife where he had
been, and seemed to be in dazed con-
dition.
Mr.. Curtis is an assistant surerinten-
dent of the PRUDENTIAL Insurance Com
pany and has held that position since
October.
ii. Il. Brice, the general manager OF the
company, was called upon today and said
Mr.. Curtis accounts were all straight
and that his family relations were OF the
most pleasant nature.
Mr.. Brice has placed two men upon Mr.
Curtis track. Mrs. Curtis has requested
the police TO assist In locating her hus-
band.

Them on the Moor.

YORK, Eng, Aug. 13.-Robert Hudson,
a young and highly educated man who
has run through his own and his wife's
fortunes, was executed by hanging today,
for the murder of his wife and child on
Helmsley Moor, Yorkshire, in June last.
He decoyed his victims to the Moor, cut
their throats, shot them with a revolver
and buried them on the Moor. Before he
killed his wife, Hudson advertised for
another wife under the name OF Hunter.
The crime was accidentally discovered by
a man who noticed the freshly turned
earth on the Moor, investigated the mat
ter. and dug up the bodies. After being
tracked for five days, Hudson was cap
tured and his trial and condemnation
followed. He died calmly.

THE NEGROES APPEAL.
They Ask Protection From Outrages
by White Caps.

PARIS, Tex, Aug. l3.-An old woman
named Stephens has arrived here from
Pacio, in Delta County, where the white
caps are alleged to be holding high car
nival. She stated that her son was
awakened at O'Clock in the morning,
called to the door and shot down by the
white caps. The 10 days notice given
had just expired and he was prevented
from fleeing with the wholesale exodus
of negroes from that section on account
OF his growing crops, which would have
been placed in jeopardy. His name was
William Stephens. He has wife and
two children. One of the white cap
notices is posted within 80 yards OF his
house.
He has brother in Paris, WHO fled
when he first received notice. Officers
are now endeavoring to catch the perpe-
traitors.
A local paper published the following
article from appealing negroes:
"We, the colored people of Delta
County, in the State OF Texas, do not
want any trouble with anybody. We
ask the white pc ople TO protect us, and
when we have the law dealt with us, we
will be satisfied. Stop the white caps.
We are not guilty of the-least- crime in
Delta County. and SO please come to our
aid. We are unable to go anywhere"

Mr.. DExTER'S CRANE.
How It Came-to and Created Several
Sensations.

The fact that Mr.. Edgar NJ Dexter, the
broker, was possessed OF crane became
public information in and about Blu ton
woods the other night when the crane
INDUCED In song To the moon, while
the rest o. the residents at Butterwoods
were wrapt in slumber.
The popularity OF the singing of a
crane is that, while IL is not SO musical
as the notes OF a whippoorwill or canary,
it can be heard for a much greater DIS
tapce. People who heard Mr.. Dexter's s
crane sing down at Buttonwoods the
other night thought that steam calliope
had exploded In their midst.
Ii appears that the crane was a present
to Mr.. Dexter from an admiring friend
who had shot IL on the sand dunes con-
tiguous to Buttonwoods or thereabouts.
Neither the donor nor the beneficiary
expected the crane to live from its
wound, but 1t was thought that 1t would
look pretty II stuffed and stood against
the fireplace in the Dexter cottage.
But 1t appears that cranes do not die,
easily, and you can't always count on the
apparent symptoms OF dissolution. Mr..

Dexter's crane fingered in a state OF
coma for some days, and then ii came
to. Ii came-to in the middle of the
night, and Mr.. Dexter and the rest of
the folk at Buttonwoods learned OF it
Immediately, because the crane on recov-
ering consciousness stretched itself out
and lifted its voice In song. And when
the terrified Dexter household rushed
into the room TO see what had broken
loose they found the room filed full OF
crane-for, il is said to be a characteristic
of the crane, that whereas II can shut
itself together small enough to be slowed
away in a collar box, when il unjoints
and stretches il needs 10-room house
with the bulkheads all out TO extend
itself comfortably.
AS a live crane had not been contem-
plated by broker Dexter, the situation
was embarrassing. Mr.. Dexter sat up all
night trying TO restrain the voice and
evolutions OF his crane, and cudgeling
his brain as TO what he should do with
ii. There evidently wasn't room enough
in Buttonwoods to hold 1t, and Mr..
Dexter took the early train for Providence
and took the crane along with him for
further consideration.
That forenoon, broker Dexter appeared
about town with a suit OF brand-new
clothes that, contrary to his custom, he
had bought ready-made. The crane has
disappeared, and people who value Mr..
Dexter's friendship are delicate about
asking him what he has done with 1t.
