THE AMERICAN LEGION OF HONOR
Supreme Grand Council Listens to Flat.
tering Reports.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 20.-The supreme
grand council of the American Legion
Of Honor assembled here today in BIZ
ennial session. Each of the delegates
wore upon his breast the decoration of
the French Legion of Honor, the badge
of the famous French order being used
by the American organization by spec
ial permission Of the French govern
ment, granted in 1873 to Darius Wilson
of Boston, who was the founder of the
order in this country. The sessions of
the council, which will extend over two
weeks, will be presided over by Supreme
Commander J. M. Gwinell.
The biennial report says that the
membership, which extends into every
state and territory, is in the neighbor-
hood of 10000, and that since it's organi-
zation the legion has paid out nearly
$31 900, 600 in death benefits, and three
quarters of a million in sick benefits
One of the most important questions to
be considered is the recommendation
of the Pennsylvania grand council that
the constitution be SO amended as to re-
lease all members who have reached the
age of SO years from the payment of
dues.

PUT UP MORE GOLD
Bond Syndicate Deposits Two
Million at Sub Treasury.
RESERVE is OVER THE MARK
treasury Officials Intimate That With.
drawais viii Continue to Be
Offset by Bankers.

| Washington, Aug. 20.-The gold syn
| dlcate today prevented the gold reserve
| from falling below the 500, ooO, 900
| mark. About 2 o'clock the treasury
department was Informed that s., ,s5o,-
oO0 IN gold had been Withdrawn for ey-
portation from the sub-treasury in
New York. AS the gold reserve at the
close OF business today stood at S1O2,-
o2I,l46, the withdrawal would have re-
duced the reserve to s99,67714S A few
minutes afterward however. Acting
secretary Curtiss received a telegram
saying that Mr.. Pierpont Morgan of
the syndicate had deposited S., 900, 900 in
sold IN exchange for greenbacks This
deposit SWel1ed the reserve to S1O1 ST.
148.
Ihe officials at the department dis
play no apprehension as to the gold re-
serve and Intimate that the syndicate
VIII continue to make deposits to offset
Withdrawals. But they decline to ex-
press their reasons for their faith and
the question raised constantly is as to
the pledge under which the syndicate is
making these deposits and the period
lt covers, as Well as the ability of the
syhdlcate to continue to protect the re-
serve. But little light can be shed on
ehe question, however, as 1t is said that
PROBABLY only two government officials
president Cleveland and Secretary
Cafllsle-know the unWritten part of
the agreement made with the syndicate
WhIch secured the last issue of bonds.
Ihe syndicate has SO far voluntarily
deposited about $4,000, 900 in gold The
manner IN which the syndicate has ac-
cumulated the gold which it has vol
unfairly exchanged at the treasury for
greenbacks is not absolutely known.
Ihe syndicate does not make public its |
ations. but at the treasury it is be- |
lieved that the most of it is obtained |
py government exchange on San Fran |
cisco and by buying bullion checks.
GOLD WITHDRAWALS.
New York, Aug. 20.-The sum of S.
$4,000 in gold was withdrawn from the
sup-treasury for shipment to England |
tomorrow. OF this amount Hosker,
wood d Co. took s1,750,000, W. H |
Crossman & Bros. $1,000,000, and Ness
lage q Fuller 100000. These withdraw
ais reduced the reserve to 500, $50 900,
the lowest 1t has been since the Bel
syndicate completed |
their contract with the government |
and paid for the new per cent bonds, !
the proceeds of which brought the gold |
reserve up to $107. .000.O 900. In fact, today
was the first time since the completion
of the contract that the reserve was re-
duced below the 100000, 0OC mark The
BOND syndicate later in the day depos-
ted s2,000,000 in gold in the sub-treas-
ary and thereby kept the government
reserve above the 100000, 900 mark

4CN.PARTISAN SILVER CONVENTION
Delegates at San Francisco Think the
Old Parties Arc unfriendly.

san francisco, Aug. 20--At the fore
noon session of the non-partisan silver
convention, called by the American BIZ
metallic League, SAT delegates were
seated by the committee on credentials.
The temporary officers, George w Ba-
ker and George P. Keeney, were made
permanent chairman and secretary re-
spectively. In view of their services to
bimetalism, George w. Baker repub-
lican; T. J. Clunie, democrat, and Alex
andef Majors populist. We're recon-
mended for appointment as national
committeeman of the American Rime-
tallic League for the state of California
and We're instructed to proceed without
delay to organize bimetallic leagues
throughout the state. The balance of
the session was devoted to addresses
on the silver question by speakers Sc
lected by the program committee.
.Assemblyman Timothy Guy Phelps,
eI-collector of the port, said the con-
Vention had met to right great wrong
the crime Of '73." He said that by
reconciliation our paralyzed indus
tries would be revived and American
laborers raised to a higher plane He
said that demonetizati ton benefited the
creditor and hurt the debtor class 1t
disturbed the rights of contracts.
Robert NJ Beatty of Nevada thought
that silver would never be restored as
long as its friends depended upon eth
er of the old parties. He believed, as
Hurley of Calaveras had, that the Uni
ted States should Immediately proceed
to remonetize silver irrespective of the
action of European countries, which,
he thought, would soon follow such an
example set by this country He main
tanned that the only way to secure the
reconciliation of silver was by the
election to congress of men pledged to
silver regardless of party.
At the afternoon session Delegate
Thompson (coloreD of Sacramento be-
lieved that party affiliations should be
thrown aside and men should look to
their own interests. He had left the
republican party, although, he said, it
had freed his race. He considered the
negroes had paid their debt to the re-
publican party by 20 years Of faithful
allegiance, and henceforth he would
vote for the man pledged to free silver

ALLEGED EXPOSE OF THEO. DURRANT
Letters Showing Frequent and Base Pro.
pOSa!S fO Women

San Francisco. Aug. 20.-The prose-
cutors OF Theodore Durrant are at
present engaged in developing a fruit
ful line of testimony which promises to
throw powerful side light on the con-
| duct of the young man toward women
While Durrant is pictured by his
friends as being meek, modest youth,
who, so far from being able to murder
TWO school girls, found his only true
enjoyment in the Sunday school of
which he was assistant superintendent,
1t is proposed to prove that his base
ness was boundess when assoeiating
with women.
In support of this assertion young
women who are said to have been in
suited by Durrant VIII be placed on the
stand and letters written by the pris-
onef to his female acquaintance will
be introduced as evidence The au>
dacity of the prisoner is shown by
letter now in the hands of the police
Which he wrote TO Helen Henry, a To-
cal actress, a few weeks before the
murders. Although he had known the
young lady but few days, he wrote
her a letter 50 suggestive that she de-
cllhed to answer it, and few days la

as offensive
So bold did Durrant become that long
before his arrest it is said that a num-
Der of young women declined to attend
parties to which he was invited, or as
soclate with him in any way.
From a reliable source it is learned |
mat no matter what is accomplished !
~ the present trial it is intended to l
BRING Durrant before a jury on the |
charge of killing Minnie Williams. This |
course Will be pursued, even if Durrant !
should be found guilty of the murder
OF Miss Lamont. The idea of the pros
ecutlon in doing that will be to provide
against the possibility of the supreme
court granting a neW trial in the La
mont case. 1t is even proba bile that the
llstflct attorney would consent to
thange of venue for the Williams trial. |

the article dated Cotton, Wash, Aug.

article the board is accused of mall
administration the correspondent was
authorized to say the recent TRADE
against the Whitman county board of
county commissioners made in the
Spokesman-Reveiew by the correspon-

quality and that is it's utter and COM
plete absence of truth either in whole
or in part No application has been
made for anyone at Cotton for assist
ance, no report that anyone was sick
or destitute at Cotton was made, and
no case at Cotton or elsewhere in
Whitman county has ever been present
ed to the board and been neglected by
it, nor has it ever refused to extend
q liberal and humane charity to any
human being in said county needing its
humane offices. The cases at Cotton
recently arising came incidentally to
the notice of one of the commissioners
late Saturday night and Monday morn
