CONFERENCE OF SILVER DEMOCRATS
Senator Jones Explains the object of
the Recent Call.

washington, July Ex-senator Jones of
Arkansas who joined Senators Harris and
Turpie in issuing call for a silver con-
ference of silver democrats in Washing
ton on the 18th of August, has written
letter to a friend in Washington on the
origin of the call and the purposes of the
meeting. He says:
"At Memphis, after the adjournment of
the meeting, a number of democrats from
different states held a meeting and after
consideration the meeting requested Sem
ators Harris, Turpie and myself to take
steps to organize the silver democrats
so they could be fairly represented in the
next convention. We concluded that the
best way to do this was to first organize
a national central committee of silver
democrats, consisting of one or more
members from each state and to let those
members look after the organization of
their own states. To select gentlemen for
membership of this committee by cores
nondence seemed slow and it was con-
cluded to invite one or more gentlemen
of character and experience from each
state to meet in Washington and select
if they thought well of it, this central
committee This is all there is of it as l
understand it,"
The general impression seems to have
gone out that this conference was to be
a mass meeting. Senator Jones state
ment puts it in a different light

TURKEY IS TAKING DECISIVE STEPS
Manufacturing Evidence Against Lead
ers of Revolutionary Parties.

Van, Armenia, June 5.-By the transfer
from Van to Constantinople of the ad-
vance guard of the Armenian revolution
airy movement, captured in the village of
Tchiboukla on May 10, the Turkish gov
ernment has taken a decisive step toward
nueting public excitement in the eastern
part of the empire. The governor of Van.
Bahri Pasha, has during the week added
several interesting facts to the alleged
confession of Harry Williams, the leader
of the captured band. According to the
governor Williams had confessed that the
revolutionary party which sent him to
begin the revolution has 1900 rifles in
Trieste, Austria, which will be shipped to
Armenia for the use of patriots at the
earliest possible opportunity. An interest
ing incident of Williams confession as
made by Bahri is the fact that he is not
a British subject at all, but is native of
the Caucasus region of Asia, and strange
ly enough of the very district in which
Bahri himself was born. Leaving out of
consideration entirely the second revolu-
tionary band across the Persian border.
II is an undeniable fact that the Armenian
situation was never at a more critical
point. The correspondent met the re-
porter of a fourth revolutionary party.
with supporters in Austria, England and
America The headquarters seem to be
in America, where a party newspaper is
published and revolutionary funds are col
lected. This agent is a Russian Armenian
and he holds strong views on the .situa-
ton The fourth revolutionary party has
brought no guns to Armenia, nor does the
agent say he has any arms hidden in the
! mountains. The party's principles. how

VICTORIA wooDHuLL MARTINS WOES
Arrested just as She Was to Take a
steamer for Europe.

New York, July 13.-Victoria woodruff
Martin was arrested here at the Hotel
Majestic as she was about to sail for
Europe. The order for Mrs. Martins ar
rest was signed by Justice Slower on July
T. in the supreme court chambers. in q
suit brought by Mrs. Ella c. Woolles, in
the superior court, to recover $780, the
value of goods which she says Mrs. Mar
tin wronguflly and feloniously converted
to her own use.
Mrs. Martin. it is alleged destroyed
certain articles of household furniture
and clothing and seven trunks. Mrs. Mar
tin after her arrest, accompanied the
deputy sheriff to the sheriff's Office and
gave $1,000 bail. She then released
and returned to the Hotel Majestic She
declined to say whether she would sail
today or not. Mrs. Martin and her neice
Mrs Wooles, have for some time past been
on bad terms owing to a disagreement
over business affairs. The latter occupied
a house owned by Mrs. Martin and the
difficulty arose about the furnishing of
this house. Ejectment proceedings were

CHICAGO UNDERsELLlNe NEW YORK
Strife Between Dry Goods Men of the
TWO Big Cities.

Chicago, July 14.-There is dissension
and strife between the dry goods men of
New York and those of Chicago growing
out of the importation of hosiery from
Germany, and the board of general ap
praisers of the United States custom de-
partment is in session here today for the
purpose of settling the dispute. The trou-
BILE grows out of the fact that certain Chi
cago dealers have been selling imported
hosiery at prices which the New York
importers could not meet The latter claim
that this condition of affairs is due to the
fact that their western competitors un-
dervalue their goods at the custom house
and thus escape paying the fun duty, but,
on the other hand the Chicagoans say that
they are enabled to undersell the Gotham-
ties by reason of the fact that they i'm
port in larger quantities, often taking the
entire output Of one Of the German mills.
This is the little dispute that Uncle Sans
officers are scratching their heads about
today. and there will probably be some hot
times before the matter is settled.

LIKE THE CHANGE
Eng lshmen Rally Round Their

GAINS OF MANY NEW SEATS
Sir william Harcourt's Defeat in Derby
Is the Sensation in London
Political Circles.

London, July H.-Sir William Har-
courts defeat in DERBY was the sensa-
ton in political circles tonight 1t is
admitted on all sides that the liberals
are beginning very badly. OF 40 mem
bers thus far elected, 9S are unionists
10 liberals and A Parnellites. Eight lib
eral seats have been captured by the
unionists, and the radicals have cap
tured one unionist seat. AS far as out
ward appearances go the elections are
causing little excitement in London
There are a few idlers in the Strand
where the Graphic displays a represen-
tation of Lord Salisbury and Lord
Rosebery climbing ladders to indicate
the course of election returns. The
moral effect of Sir William Harcourt's
defeat will be great, as even the most
sangune conservative did not expect
a liberal majority of 1900 to be con-
verted into a unionist majority of 100
While Sir William Harcourt Jared so
badly, Hon. A. j. Balfour, the new first
lord of the treasury, who is to succeed
Sir William as leader of the house of
commons, nearly doubled his majority
in Manchester.
After the result had been announced
in Derby at midnight, Sir William Har-
court, with his wife, drove to the lib
eral headquarters and made a speech,
saying he had been defeated too often
TO be either elated if successful or sad
dened by reverse. He did not wish to
conceal the magnitude of the defeat
which had fallen upon his colleagues
a,,1 h
defeat is generally attributed to the
prominence which he gave to the local
veto on the local option measure.
The Sunday Observer unionist, points
out that yesterdays returns of unop-
posed candidates are as significant as
the rest of the contested elections. Sew
enty-siX seats had been handed over to
the unionists without a fight, while the
liberals were allowed to retain only
five uncontested seats. The Parnellite
lot of unopposed returns have increased
to four by the uncontested election of
John DAILY from Limerick. Thus the
McCarthyites have yielded without
contest a seat which they were in ac-
tual possession of. Judged both by the
result of the contests and the number
of seats which the radicals have al
lowed to go by default, there can be
but little doubt of the final result. p.
OConnnor's Sun says that yesterdays
results We're a keen disappointment,
but that it does not follow by any
means that the whole country is going
against them. "The substitution of a
poppinjay like the marquis of Lorne,"
says the Sun, 'for a politician so es-
teemed and a man so honored as Sir
Henry Roscoe is discreditable to Man
chester" Tomorrow so more seats will
be decided, including many ia London.

convictions But 1t will be built on a
foundation deeper and broader than free
silver or bimetallism, for these terms ex-
press nothing that reach the core of the
troubles which confront us. Its motto
will be something like this Let the people
rule Its platform could properly be
short. plain and responsive to the needs
Of the times and could be safely con-
| structed of six planks: Get the people to
work: pay them for what they do; away
with landlordism; out with the transpor-
| tation monopoly; down with the money
mower; up with the people; live the re-
