both Representatives and Senators are
deluged in letters from ottice-See kCrs.
The President to-day sent to the
Senate number of recess appoint

Ransom, of North Carolina to be min

BOSTON, Mass, Dec, 5.-Mai ad-
vices received by reliable persons in
this city from Canton, China, this
morning, give details of an attempt on
October 27 to capture the city of Can
ton by secret organization for the
purpose of establishing an indepen-
dent government.
The attention of the United States
consul was called to suspicious tele-
gram from a Hong Kong firm to it's
branch in Canton concerning the ship
ment of certain packages. The auth
critics were notified and the packages,
which proved to be five barrels of pis-
tolls and ammunition, labeled "ce-
ment," were seized on their arrival.
On the same steamer from Hong Kong
came four hundred men, who expected
TO aid in the revolt. The officials, how
ever, captured eighty-five of them.
The plan was first to capture the
city treasury, next to demolish the
Niceroy's palace. BY this time they
would expect sufficient aid to storm
the city.
The next expected TO proclaim an
Independent government and to take
measures to hold the city.
The movement has involved the
christians to considerable extent and
great excitement prevails.

Commercial Club.

At the regular meeting Of til,
Commercial club held on Thursda,
! evening, the matter Of re rating the
city for insurance purposes was NJ
for consideration. 1t seems tina
whenever insurance companies de
sire to make up losses, they re-rate
towns and jefferson City among
others is called upon to help stand
the loss. ut the meeting held on
Thursday evening a protest went up
from over a hundred business men.
The president and secretary of the
club were directed to send into the
state underwriters a vigorous protest
against the increase Of the insurance
rates in this city. Jefferson City is
one of the best protected towns
against fires in the state; built almost
entirely of brick and has one of the
best sy stems Of water works in the
state. In addition to this the town
has a first class fire company and it
is a matter of history that the insur.
auce companies take three dollars
out OF the town as against one paid
in losses. Tho indignation aroused
was further emphasized by the adop
ton Of a resolution offered by f.

the question of organizing a local
insurance company. The committee
appointed consists of: f. L. Luckett,

y number of other matters OF

them the question whether the
Fourth of July should be celebrated

The SiKer Question.

The fact that the East, regardless
of party, is opposed to the free coin.
age of silver, is being made palmer
day by day. The fact also that in
the West the free silver sentiment
%pervades both parties strongly, il
also receiving confirmation daily, but
what tho outcome will be is diff
cult to prophecy. An old saying
admonishes one not to i" buck agin
money! and as the goldbugs are
credited with possessing all the
money, it looks very much as if they
have the advantage. The free silver
advocate who believes that victory
is easily within his reach will find
himself badly deceived. The cry of
" sound money" is being used, with
which to convert the weak minded.
Silver has been q sound money for
six thousand years, but it has fallen
to the lot Of Cleveland and the
Rothschilds to boycott it with cpl.
thcts calculated to injure it in the
minds of the people. If silver is not
sound money, the government of
United States has been guilty of
an iniquitous crime in forcing it upon
the people. 1t is either sound money
or the government has lied to those
upon whom it. has been forced ard
mas robbed every one of his just
lues who has been forced to take it.
