DEMANDS AN INvEsT1GATION.-Allen
Shade, of Wauseon, Ohio, has made q
demand upon the Legislature for an
investigation of the cause of death
of his son, Joseph A. Shade, at the
Hospital for the Insane, at Fort Steil-
accom-, in March OF last year. The
petitioner goes into details of circum-
stances attending the death Of his son
and cites the fact that young Bartlett,
an attache Of the institution, dis
charged the day after Shades death,
was found dead on . street in Tacoma
. short time afterwards. He appears
to believe that Bartlett came to his
death from foul play in consequence
of q knowledge of the Shade case. II
is quite probable that . committee
will be appointed, in accordance with
the request.

ANOTHER ROOSEVELT.
Police Commissioner Lee Asks the Preachers of St. Louis to Help Him Close Sa-
 looms on SlIndav

St. Louis, Oct 14.-Police Commissioner Lee sent a letter to the pastors of the different religious denomination in St. Louis, which has caused not a little ex- citement and criticism. He asks if they will uphold him in an heroic effort to en- force the Sunday law in St. Louis on the lines pursued by Commissioner Roosevelt in New York. The Sunday law has been a dead letter in St. Louis since 1857. Not long ago the chief of police testified be- fore a legislative committee that he does not make the slightest effort to prevent the sale of liquor on Sunday.
 'I request the saloon keepers to keep their front doors locked wherever in gress and egress is possible by a back way he said in his letter to the preach CTS. Commissioner Lee. says that he is anxious to identify himself with the law loving element and to enforce "a decent and orderly observance of the first day of the week."
 He concluded: "I believe it would be enforced as to side door,, back door or front door. am not a prohibitionist or a crank but I have studied the subject carefully, in practical way, and l be- lieve great advantages will be derived by a strict enforcement of the law l may fail, but if undertake the task I will not fail from lack of courage or persistency."
 Nearly all of the ministers have prom ised the commissioner their zearous sup5 port, and d hard and bitter fight is looked for.

ering in detail the numerous discrepan- cies already made public.
 Under the present investigation into his official conduct w. c. Moreland, city attorney has resigned, his letter to that effect being accepted by the finance com- mtttee of the council this morning. The committee elected Francis Burleigh, ex- district attorney, to the office thus va cated.
 Clarence Burleigh was summoned and appeared in a few minutes. He was h. formed of the action of the committee and after thanking the committee for the honor conferred he requested that the committee would not require that he take part In the prosecution of Moreland and House until called upon by the district attorney. This was granted.
 Chairman w. A. Magee of the commit tee offered a resolution fnstructing the finance committee to contract with the present city Repositories for interest on the current balances of the city sinking fund in the banks. This was passed unanimously. City Comptroller Gourley will take charge of the city attorney s office at once and head it until the se- lection of Attorney Burleigh is confirmed by the council.
 MT. Moreland's resignation carries with it the retirement of C. S. Fettermand and Thomas D. Carnahan, his assistants, and w. H. House, the officers deputy. The vacancies will be filled at once by Mr. Burleigh, who has not publicly intimated who his nominees will be. The meeting of the finance committee was lengthy one. It was intended to have the meeting open, but the newspa- pers and would-be spectators were sadly disappointed.
 Mr. Morelands letter of resignation carries with it a request that if any ac- tion in criminal proceedings is to be taken it be without needless delay. MT Moreland also repeats his public declara- tion that every dollar properly against him through the investigation will be paid. Both branches of the council met this afternoon
 The report of the finance committee was approved ard so also was the cleo tion of MT. Burieigh as successor to MT Moreland. MT. Burleigh took the oath Cf officn

THE FARMERS CONGRESS
Was Turned Into Free Silver Meeting g-Noth- ing But Home Silver to Be Coined Free.
 Duties Must Be Paid in Gold.

Atlanta, Oct. 14.-The Farmers Nation al congress devoted much of it's time to national finance. As predicted by the Southern Press, the farmers declared for the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1. The committee on resolutions had dozen propositions differing very little except in mere verbose. There was a long de- bate, but without leadership on either side. The committees report favored the free coinage of both metals at the pres ent ratio, guarded by an import duty upon foreign coin. An effort was made to table the committees report, but this was overwhelmingly voted down.
 Finally the following resolutions were acted on separately and were adopted by large majOritieS:
 Resolved, That we favor the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold at the present ratio of 16 to 1, guarded by an import duty upon foreign bullion and foreign coin equal to the difference be- tween the bullion value and coinage val ue of the metal at the date of importa- tion whereon the bullion value of the metal is less than its coin value.
 Resolved, That this National Farmers congress is emphat tically in favor of the equal use of both gold and silver coin as money of ultimate redemption and equal as standard of value; and to secure this object we favor: GOA conference to be called by the United States of those na- tions ready to accept bimetallsm with the unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at ratio to be agreed upon. (2.) A law requiring duties on commodities, the product imported from mono gold na- tions to be paid in foreign gold coin (3) law imposing duties on silver imported from gold nations and denying it the coinage privileges at our hints.

 ing Up.


 Cleveland, G., Oct. 14.-There is a scarcity of steel rails, which fact is evil denced by several eastern and far vest ern railroad representatives who ar rived in the city endeavoring to contract for early delivery of an immense quan- tity of steel rails. The price of rails has gone up, owing to the choked condition of the eastern mills. There are several syndicates represented in Cleveland at present which want from 20000 to 10000 tons each of steel rails An effort was made at first by the different buyers to keep the fact that they were here to se- cure rails a secret, but it leaked out three or four days ago and as a result there was another rise in the price of rails It is stated that the new Staten Island rail- road, in which the Standard oil company is supposed to be interested, has a repre- sentative here who has been trying for a contract of 10000 tons of rails for 1896 delivery He succeeded in placing por- ton of his order.
