CHAMPION OF FREE SILVER.
Harvey Addresses the PopuGsts and Out
lines the Plan of Campaign for
White Metal Men.

CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. 12.-W. II. Har-
vey, the champion OF free silver coinage,
who has just returned from a campaign
tour West and South, addressed large
meeting of Populists tonight at the head
quarters of the Peoples Omaha Club He
spoke of his cordial reception at meetings
of Republicans and Democrats and how
1000 of the latter at Nashville insisted that
he should "score Cleveland" but he was
not in the habit of abusing people. He
was afraid the advocates of silver were
going to be disorganized during the 1896
campaign, but he urged them not to talk
Or think of revolution against the consti-
tuted authority. which invariably failed.
The successful plan was to get the people
together, educate them and teach them
that the fight which was coming although
bitter, must be won at the baliot-box
This was critical period in the history of
the republic. Despotism had its throt-
Ting hand on the people, but the fires of
patriotism were only smoldering. The
sources of strength for the PEOPLES party
in 1896 were the small subscriptions of
millions and the voluntary free services of
the people in campaign work.

Ratifications CT the supplementary tariff
convention provided for in the revised
Anglo-Japanese treaty OF July is, 1894
were exchanged in Toxic on November 81.
The object of this convention is to convert
into specific duties the ad valorem duties
contained in the new tariff accompanying
the treaty, the basis of conversion being
the medium prices, as shown by the Japa-
nese customs return during the six calen-
dar months preceding the date of the
treaty, together with charges for insurance,
transport etc. The convention should
have been concluded by January 16 of the
current year, but its preparation having
been delayed by the war it did not receive
the signatures of the plenipotentiaries until
July. Great Britain, which used to be
counted the obstacle in the path of treaty
revision, now enjoys the credit of having
been first among the nations to bring the
whole question to a final settlement.
Intelligence from Korea is to the effect
that the leaders of the Min faction-the
relatives and partisans of the late Queen
are busily devising plans to avenge her
Majesty's murder and drive their enemies
out of office. Japanese correspondents
confidently allege that several of the con-
spirators are concealed in the Russian le-
cation, and that their programme is to
gain possession of the Kings person in
the first place, after which an anti-pro-
gressive Cabinet, the members of which
are already fixed, will place the present
Ministry. 1t does not appear that the Min
faction has any power to put such scheme
into execution, for the present at all events.
Meanwhile the foreign representatives,
speaking through the United States Min
lister, have made an official intimation
that, in their opinion, the duty of pre-
serving order devolves at present on the
japanese. and that the Korean guards,
now in charge of the palace, should be re-
placed by Japanese troops.
The list of punishments meted out to
the Whasang murderers seems to have
now attained it's full dimensions. The no.
torious ringleader, Butterfly" who was
said to have committed suicide, fell into
the hands of the authorities so soon as
reward of 500 tls. was offered for his appre-
hension. He was executed, together wi,h
the four other ringleaders, at the public
execution ground of Foochow on the 4th
of November. Thus the number of men
executed totals twenty-six, and of the
others convicted six were banished to
Manchuria for life, eleven for shorter terms,
twenty-seven were sentenced to ten years
Imprisonment and four-the blacksmiths
that forged the spears and swords-were
condemned to be chained to stone for
three years.
The Yellow River is working its usual
annual devastations. 1t has broken its
banks near Ch'itung City in Shantung,
and hundreds of square miles of country
are under water. The gap is said to be
two-thirds of mile in width and a heavy
stream is steadily pouring from it.

Mr.. HARRIS SUSPENDED,
Debarred From the Chicago
Board of Trade for Two
Years.
Convicted of Carrying on Outside
Business With Illegitimate
Traders.

CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. 12.-J. T. Harris,
who under the name of J. f. Harris & Co.
conducts the extensive grain business of
Kennett, Hopkins e. Co., was tonight sus-
pended from the Chicago Board of Trade
for two years on the charge of carrying on
an outside business with illegitimate
traders. contrary to the rules of the board.
His suspension leaves the firm without a
representative on the Chicago board, and
places them in somewhat precarious pre-
dicament.
1t is claimed by good authority that the
firm can still do business in the Chicago
pits by taking in another member who
shall be also a member of the Board OF
Trade. There is rule of the board which
would seem to prevent other members
from helping those who have been put
under the ban. 1t declares that any mem
ber suspended shall not be allowed the use
of the clearinghouse settlement or deliv-
ery-room and that he shall not be per-
mitted to trade upon the floor of the
exchange, either through an employe or
broker. 1t further provides that any
member of the association trading or offer
ing to trade, giving the name of a sus.
pended member, shall be liable Tor dis
cipline at the hands of the board of
directors.
The taking of the evidence occupied but
a short time, Harris conducting his own
case, but offering no evidence. The prose-
cutting committee made hard fight to get
Harris sentence fixed at five years, the
time given Mr.. Kennett. but the board took
into consideration the fact that the former
was the junior member of the firm and in
a certain degree not responsible for its
actions to the same extent as the older
members and insisted on the two years
sentence.
Commission houses were badly scared to-
day and one of the best known on the board
this morning took out two bucket-shop
wires and will not replace them until the
scare blows over. Others will do the same
thing tomorrow it is understood. 1t is
said this will not deter the prose cutting
committee from carrying out its crusade
against the offenders and that it has
enough evidence now to convict them.

COMPLAINTS OF GODFREY,
It Looks as Though He Would
Not Receive Satisfaction
From Hawaii.
Reasons Why Six Political Prisoners
Were Not Released by
the Dole Regime.

HONOLULU, Hawaii, Dec. 6.-United
States Minister Willis made an official call
upon Foreign Minister Cooper on the
morning of the 4th, in relation TO the COM
plants of frank Godfrey to the American
Government. Godfrey's first complaint
was on account of detention at the cholera
hospital twenty-four hours over the time
a convalescent or suspect is usually held.
This complaint was not sent on to
Washington, the matter being considered
as properly within the discretion of the
local health authorities. Godfrey's Sec
ond complaint was on account of being
tarred and featnered by several men in
September last, as shown by number of
affidavits. Some OF the names of his as
sailants he processes to know. He claims
$4,000 damages from this Government.
Mr.. Willis informed Mr.. Cooper that
Secretary OIney declined to support God
frey's case on the ground that he had not
appealed to the local courts, where his
proper remedy lay. There was some
question about Godfrey's American cit
izenship, which Mr.. Olney did not deem it
necessary to consider. Godfrey had taken
out letters of denization, qualifying him
to vote, but expressly reserving his al
legiance to the United States.
As reported at the time, very serious
distrust was felt last August by this Gov
ernment in connection with the course of
the administration and Mr.. Willis in the
Dureell case. The executive now express
themselves as being well satisfied with the
course of Minister Willis. Out of twenty
six claims presented to the American Gov
ernment against Hawaii, not more than
six remain open to any possible further
action. Relations with the United States
Minister are entirely cordial.
In reference to Gulick, Seward and the
four other political prisoners not released
on Thanksgiving day, the executive have
allowed the fact to be published that they
did not submit the cases of those six men
to the Council of State for the reason that
there was no satisfactory evidence of any
relenting in their hostile sentiment to-
ward the Government.

administration, he said, "the people is
sued a new appeal through the ballot-box
with an energy and far-sweeping result
that l trust the President of the United.
States in his official acts will not dlsre-
gard though he en- tirely ignored it in his
message.
Thirteen representatives OF this great
Democratic party in thirty States of this
Union are all that can speak for that party
in those States on this floor to-day. One
of them must speak for all New England.
One of them must speak for the Pacific
Coast. The remaining eleven speak Tor
the remaining States which lie north OF
the Mason and Dixie line. But, on the
other hand, thirty-two members sit upon
this floor to speak for the ion-hearted, IN
dorlitable Republican party OF the hereto
fore solid Democratic South. Is this COM
mand of the people of no consequence?
What was tried in the election OF 1894?
The Democrats say that the election OF
1892 was a condemnation of the Mckinley
bill.
"Solid Republican delegates are here
now from greater number of States than
ever before. Something brought them.
# 1t was not a condemnation by the people
of your legislation then it was a con-
demnation of the Democratic party, and
that is what l think it was. They were on
trial in the last election, For it did not
make any difference what kind of Dem
ocrat it was, whether Jealous advocate of
this new policy or lukewarm advocate,
or a man who had opposed it, the cyclone
swept them away all alike. Before the
election the Democratic party proclaimed
that their present policy was only step
IN the right direction, which they pro-
posed to continue as soon as the highway
was open. Tie command OF people
comes up to-day, Not another step in that
direction 1t is for this new departure
that the new command of the American
people has gone forth; and L trust the
President when he has leisure to attend TO
public affairs will respect it." Laughter
aud applause.
At the conclusion of Crows remarks the
committee rose and at :25 o'clock on
motion of Dlngley. (R.) of Maine the
House adjourned until Monday next.

An address to Congress on Santa Monica

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 12.-Collis
P. Huntington has addressed to the Senate
and House of Representatives, submitting
Herewith the report of the engineer of the
Southern Pacific, Hood, who has exam
ined the harbor at Santa Monica, and re-
ported that it is much better adapted for
improvement and for the reception of
deep draught ocean vessels than the harbor
at San Pedro. Engineer Hood recon-
mended that seawall or breakwater be
CONSTRUCTED of sandstone for the substruc-
ture and granite for the superstructure.
The old fight between Santa Monica and
San Pedro as rival cities for Pacific Coast
deep harbor is reopened, but as Speaker
Reed intimated to delegation of Califor-
mans who called on him yesterday, ''this
is to be an economical Congress" SO it is
altogether improbable that any appro-
priation will be made for either OF the
places.

LINCOLN, NEBR., Dec. 12.-The dispute
between Bishop Bonacum and the two al
legged rebellious priests whom he has sus-
pended, Father Murphy of Tecmuseh and
Father Fitzgerald of Auburn, has reach ed
that point where the laity of the church
may be seriously concerned.
Following the suspension and excommu-
nication OF Father Murphy at Tecumseh
the priest retained possession of the
church, and in civil suit to oust him the
Bishop was defeated. Father Murphy con-
tinues to hold services despite the fact that
his successor has been installed, and the
Catholics of the town with few exceptions
attend his church. In a circular letter to
Father Carraher, Murphy's successor,
made public to-day, Bishop Bonacum
warns the Catholics of Tecumseh of the
risks they run in attending Murphy's
church. He saws in part:
''1t is my wish that you again notify the
Catholic worshipers at Tecumseh that
have suspended from the sacred ministry
and communicated from the church the
aforementioned priests, Murphy and
Fitzgerald. This notice having been duly
brought to their attention, il any Catholics
shall thereafter knowingly and willfully
hold communion in things spiritual with
the said Murphy and Fitzgerald such
Catholics are excommupicated from the
church while living, and when dead shall
be deprived of Christian burial. I re-
serve absolution from this eensure to
myself"
The Bishop then quotes from letter OF
Mgr. Satolli, in which the Arch bishop Sus-
tains him at every point.

DOun Oy OUtceTS.
PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. IA gang of
clever counterfeiters have been run down
here by the United States authorities.
Two of them, George Goodman and Jose
Balkelis, had a hearing before United
States Commissioner McCandless to-day
and were each held in the sum of $1,000
bail for court. Thomas Juscoviski and
Joseph Ludanovitz, who made the spuri-
Gus coin, are also under arrest and will
have hearing tomorrow.
Letters found on the men indicate they
are members of the same gang tried and
convicted in Judge Buffers branch OF the
United States court in Philadelphia last
Friday. When the verdict in that case was
announced about 800 Polish sympathizers
of the victims, who were in the court
house, started riot, which was suppressed
with great difficulty.
In a valise owned by Ludanovitz were
found 382 counterfeit silver dollars and 1877
bad halves. The coins were excellent like
nesses and would deceive any one. When
arrested the men were preparing for flight.
