DEMOCRATS ONLY
The New BimetalliC League
Will Be a Strictly Party
Combination.
TO CONTROL THE CONVENTION.
With Organization They Can
Dictate Its UtteranCe
on Silver.

MEMPHIS, June 1.-THE movement
inaugurated by prominent Democrats
for the formation Of a silver organiza.
ton within the lines Of the Democratic
party mentioned in these dispatches, is
believed to be a step of the greatest
Importance in the campaign on the
currency question. There were present
at the meeting the: Democratic senators
and others who were here attending
the silver convention. Senators Harris.
Jones and Turple were named as q
committee to select members Of a ma
tional executive committee consisting
of one mar from each state. Senator
Harris said:
THE league will be a Democratic or
ganization of the silver Democrats in
the country for the purpose Of control
ling the utterance of the next national
Democratic convention upon the finan-
cial question. l have no doubt that the
Great Majority of the People
are in favor of free coinage, but unless
they org .nize it will be impossible for
them to make the next platform. The
committee will at once put itself in
communication with the leading BIZ
metallists in every state of the Union
and will ask and doubtless receive their
assistance in perfecting an active and
vigilant organization of the silver
people in every magisterial district,
county and state"
"You clearly understand" put in
Senator Jones, 'that this movement is
rt,i t1r in tho limos Nf fho na,, avn tio
party and we want the country to un-
derstand that. The organization of
silver advocates in an independent
body without partisan character cam
not have the effect of giving organized
strength to silver Democrats in a sense
that will enable them to control the
sending of delegates to the various
conventions,

A SEAMAN TESTlFlES.

incompetent.

Says h Officers of the Colima Wore
incompetent.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 17.-George d.
Ross, formerly a seaman in the United
States navy, was the principal witness
at the Colima investigation. He
thought Captain Taylor and the other
officers incompetent, adding hat no eff
fort had been made to save the pas
sengers or even warn them Of danger,
and no effort had been made to set sail
aft or steady the vessel. He character
lied the statement Of Third Officer
Hansen that the boats were in proper
condition for lowering as a tissue of
lies only equaled by Hansen's other
false statements regarding the ship
wreck. Ross says the Colima's boats
were swung in their chocks, with their
covers On, and dashed down and all
parts Of the fall strapped to the decks.
A cross.examination failed to shake
the p%ositiveness of Ross'testimony.

For this conservative industry the rise
of 26 per cent i'll Bessemer iron seems
large, but it compares with 30 per cent

that the seal herds moving north are

surprising strength. The fact that Partridge had

country from sitting up to send night messages TO
buy wheat at the opening this morning. The pit
appeared TO be full OF buying orders at the start

with 5614c. which It sold at Monday last show

ridge, bought freely Of July; RosenkranZ, who
