WILL FAVOR FREE SILVER,
Illinois Democrats to Declare
for the White
Metal.
Good Progress Being Made I'm the
Educational Campaign for
the West.

CHICAGO, ILL, April 27.-The most
sensational political development for many
day in Chicago, if not the entire West,
was made public this afternoon. The
coming Democratic State Convention in
Illinois will, beyond all doubt. declare for
free silver without an international agree
meet of any kind, and the movement is of
such strength that other Western and
Southern States will be prevented with
great difficulty, if at all, from following the
lead OF Illinois. As a party, the Demo
Gratis Of Illinois are doomed to disorganiza-
ton. The authority for these statements
is John Mayo Palmer, the corporation
counsel of Chicago, decided "goldbug,"
and son of United States Senator Palmer,
who has been leading the money fight of
the administration in Illinois.
1.-THE sentiment in favor of free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to 1, says Palmer, without international
conference or agreement, seems to have
taken complete possession of the Democ-
racy of Illinois, outside of Cook County.

opinion upon the subject, with the Republi-
cans as well as Democrats. l talked with
Republicans, because sometimes the
lookers-on see more of the game than the
players. I met old friends with whom
could talk confidentially and got the impress
sion that while there is very strong and
respectable sentiment throughout the
State in opposition to the currency theory,
yet the opponents of 16 to l are without
organization, apparently without any am
bition to succeed, and are singularly silent,
while the silver men are vigorous, active
and aggressive.
at seems to me utterly impossible that
the opponents of 16 to 1 silver should take
any part in the June convention to make
any serious impression. The convention
will, unquestionably, declare for 10 to 1
without conference with any nation.
eve who oppose that view, although
there are some differences of opinion
among US, will as rule take no part in the
convention, although in some counties
delegations will be sent composed of lead
ing men to represent both views, wholly
irrespective of the sentiment in that par
ticular locality.
''There has been great deal of unneces-
sary personal irritation and controversy
over this subject, which is very much to
be deplored. There will be good deal of
talk about reading men out of the party

possible.

SHANGHAI, CHINA, April 27.-It is re-
ported here that a high official in
the north is authority for the state
ment that England will support
Japan, which will refuse to listen
to the circumstances of the other
powers regarding the treaty terms of peace
with China, which give the Japanese pos
session of the Chinese territory. A dis
patch from private source in Japan says
the condition of affairs between Russia and
Japan begins to look very serious.
LONDON, ENG, April 27.-Inquiries

does not favor the annexation by Japan oil

1896, will be the reorganization of both par
ties on new lines. Those who, like myself,
may be called Conservatives have faint
hope that we may be able to in
duce the convention in June to
declare that it is inexpedient to
draw party lines upon the silver question
by State convention, but 1 confess have
no very great confidence that we would be
able to secure this. Unless the refusal of
the Democrats who agree with me
to take part in the convention
shall lead the party elsewhere to
believe that Democratic sentiment is not
thoroughly represented by the conven-
ton, this declaration will have very
strong and powerful influence upon the
parties in the Western and Southern
States, but will not, think, affect any,
thing east of Ohio"

STORY OF A COIN.
After Twelve Years Lost Pocket

He had almost forgotten the matter when
he received a letter from Mr.. La Rue, who
had removed from Louisville to Cincinnati
and afterward to Winton Place, Ohio. of
which village he is now Mayor. He said
that he had lost the pocket-piece twelve
years ago, and expressed himself very
anxious to get it back, saying he would
gladly pay for the coin and for Mr.. Nov
ers trouble, says the Kansas CITY Star.
Mr.. Meyer sent it by registered letter to
Mayor La Rue, and Friday he received a
letter from him acknowledging the receipt
and lnclosing 80 cents, which, he said, was
to pay the expenses, % cents for the quar-
ter, cent for postal-card and 10 cents for
the registry stamp. He added: "The
