Washington, Aug. 15.-The silver con-
ference adjourned this afternoon after
adopting an address to the people and

After the adjournment of the confer
ence the executive committee provided
for in the plan of organization held a
two hours session, at which means or

tee were fully discussed. 1t was finally
decided to divide the county into sec
tions and to give each member OF the
executive a section in which to corre-
spond, with view to getting the best
men to advance the cause outlined by
the convention. 1t was found neces-
sary to take this step. as all the states
were not represented at the conference,
and the delegates OF many of those rep
resented did not wish to name men for
the national committee before consult
ing their friends at home.
The executive committee. before
separating. named the following
members of the national committee:

FAILURE OF A BIG MINE.
Hears Nest In Alaska Found to be De-
void Of PAY Rock.

San Francisco, Aug. ia few
months ago with n great flourish Of
trumpets 1t was announced that the
Bears Nest mine. adjoining the ia
nous Treadwell mine. on Douglass Is
land, Alaska. had been sold by Tread
well to a German and English syndi-
cate for $1,OOO,OOO. Now comes news
from Alaska that the mine has failed
and that the outcroppings, which made
experts declare It fully equal to the
Treadwell, were merely surface indica-
tions and developments show the ore
in the body of the mine is too low grade
to pay working.
Charges of fraud and bad manage
ment have been piled up against those
who sold and operated the mine, but
nature appears to be to blame for the
non-turning up Of pay rock. 1t is safe
to say the capitalists were more to
blame for their' ignorance than their
inability to select competent experts.
As the Bears Nest adjolned the Tread
we'll. the syndicate believed they could
reach pay rock by drifting toward the
Treadwell, but in this they failed, be-
cause the Treadwell Is a huge pocket
produced during the age of volcanic
eruptions.

WINNERS BRUTE CAUGHT.
Oliver Perry, Who Assaulted a West Side
Girl At winners. Caught Yesterday In
Jersey City

Jersey City.
Oliver Perry, the brutal fiend who
criminally assaulted a West Side girl
at WINNERS last Saturday, was cap
tured last night in Jersey City.
After the crime Perry, who imagined
he was safe from Identification, went
to his home and was about his usual
work when constable armed with a
warrant visited his house and inquired
for him. He escaped by the back way
and went to the home OF his sister, who
drove him twenty miles in the country
to where another sister lived She
drove him to within seven miles of Port
Jervis and he walked the rest of the
distance. boarding train at that place
for New York.
Descriptions of him were sent out by
Chief Simpson, and officers and friends
of the outraged girl went to Jersey
City and New York to prosecute the
search for him. AS consequence the
police in those cities have been closely
watching for him, and as he was easily
Identified 1t was confidently believed
all along that he would be spotted.
The only particulars of the arrest
that could be learned were that Perry
denied his identity and guilt. He said
his name was William H. Benisto, aged
% years and without home or occu-
patton. He was very shabbily dressed
and wore backwoods, gawkish ap-
pearance that would make him a mark
even In crowded. cosmopolitan Jersey
City.
Miss Mamie Siebert, the unfortunate
victim, was out yesterday for the first
time. The young man to whom she
was and Is engaged to be married was
the most vigorous in the search for the
villain. The day Of the assault she re-
ceived letter from him and 1t was
while walking along through the
woods reading the letter that Perry at
tackled her.
Chief Simpson will today take the
formal steps necessary to extradite
Perry.

TO SAVE DURANT.
A Mysterious Attempt Said TO Have Bscn
Made to Brike Jur0rs.

n MySteTiONS AttSWpt Sdtu W uuNS DSSu
Made to Brihe Iurors.
San Francisco. Aug. 15.-Another sem
sation has developed in the Durant
case. Whether It IL case of jury brib-
ing or bold attempt at blackmail the
police and others who have investigated
the matter are unwilling and probably
unable to state with positlveness. The
fact remains that Mrs. Durant, mother
Of the young man who is accused of
numbering Minnie Williams and
Blanche Lamont, was approached re-
Gently by a mysterious woman, whose
desire was to sell something of ex-
treme Importance to the safety Of Theo-
dore Durant. 1t was intimated that at
least three OF the jurors already ac-
cepted could be influenced to vote for
an acquittal. But coin would be re-
qlired to get these votes.
Mrs. Durant not only spurned the
offer, hut informed the attorneys for
her son and also notified the police OF
the nature of the offer made to her.
The woman is Mrs Sarah GROCER,
who resides at SIC Leavenworth street.
While she denies having offered any
jurors for sale, she admits having WIS.,
tied Mrs. Durant and offering for
money to bring about the accomplish
ment Of something which would be in
valuable to the defense of Theodore
Durant. Mrs. GROCER says she only
acted as an agent of third party and
did so innOcent1y

The result Of the consultation Is prob

Mr.. Gilkeson to Senator Quay, in reply

In the performance OF this duty l shall
follow the well-settled practice Of placing
upon the roll only the names Of delegates

to the state convention the duty of set

of Pennsylvania, addressed an audience
of 1000 people at Cary today. Heavy
rain interfered with the attendance.
The speaker largely confined himself to
the silver question. His plea was for
unity of action. I'VE have nine mil
lion votes" he said. but partisanship
weakens our forces. We must win in
1896 or We will never win. If We fail
then the future offers only reputation
or revolution
The speaker paid his respects to Sec
retary Carlisle. He read from. a copy
OF the secretary's speech that part
which referred to a conspiracy formed
In England to demonetize from the
sevenths to one-half Of the metallic
money OF the people, and which would
produce greater disaster than all the
wars. pestilences and famines.
Yes, Mr.. Secretary" said he, "yOli
then had a prophetic eye, but now you
are sent over the country to teach the
doctrine of Clevelandism. Glare of
gold has dimmed your vision. The yel-
low halo of Rothschilds hovers just over
your head, and you seek II for a crown.
Did l say his vision was Obscured
Look at the prophesy Of the greater
disaster than pestilence and famine
made nearly two years ago. Then look
at the conditions of today. Has not
that prophesy been literally fulfilled
and does the course of the secretary
today indicate that he realizes the truth
Of what he said them"
In his references to the course of
Senator Sherman on the financial ques-
ton, Mr.. Sibley spared not. and said:
'When the genius of all evil shall call
from the vast deep the spirits of the
traitors and agents of disaster among
mankind to pass in grand review there
will be among them Judas Iscariot,
Benedict Arnold and John sherman.
What shall be their plea? Judas Is
CARROT will be able to say: 4 had the
grace to return to the corruptionists
the price of my treachery: I had the
grace to expiate my crime by going out
and hanging myself and the others
will have plea of like character. but
none can be offered by John Sherman.
and all the spirits Of evil will give way
to him, for his only plea can be the
working of disaster to his country
without having the example of Judas
Iscariot or any one else"

at the other hotels were awakened by
the noise and many of them helped in
extinguishing the flames.
The excitement in the neighbOrhood
was tremendous. Few of the guests had
more than their night gear on, and as
this was the leading hotel in town,
every room had been filled with sum-
mer boarders. many of whom were
from the vicinity Of Brooklyn. They
had much difficulty in getting clothing,
though the guests in other hotels right
gallantly came to the rescue and lent
what they could to the unfortunates.

ously given notice. calling upon the
government to declare their policy In
regard to home rule for Ireland, the
reform of the land law. the compulsory
purchase of land. evicted tenants and
the industrial condition of the country.
John Dillon spoke in support of Mr..
Redmonds amendment. MIR. Dillon ad-
mitted that there was am ominouS
silence In America regarding the Irish
question. which, he confessed, he did
not like. 1t was a sign, he said. that
the mighty work effected by Parnell in
leading the people there to believe that
Ireland's cause would be won by con-
stitutional agitation in parliament had
been destroyed.
Timothy Harrington. In support of
the amendment, referred to the attitude
of the Liberal party toward home rule
during the last election as unknown,
when a member whose identity was not
discovered, exclaimed: "They ran away
from it,"
At this Or. Charles d. Tanner, anti
Parnellite. cried out: "They did not.
That's a lie." Amid calls for order the
speaker directed DR.. Tanner to with
draw the expression he made use of and
to apologize for having used 1t.
DR.. Tanner refused, and the speaker
then named DR.. Tanner for gross dis
obedience of the chair and for wilful
disorder
DR.. Tanner responded:
th.. St,.,nr oil NNyth hfvNfy hn

too happy to do. but I cannot tell an
untruth" Joseph Chamberlain then
moved that DIR. Tanner be suspended.

question. The responses were loud

The speakers announcement of the re-
suit of the vote was challenged and the
usual course pursued. When the tellers
were asked the result of the division by
the speaker 'Dr Tanner exclaimed:
"Tll tell myself"
The speaker declared the motion car
ried and ordered DR.. Tanner to with
draw, but THE latter did not move.
Thereupon the speaker directed the
sergeant-at-arms to remove him. DIR.
Tanner at once rose from his seat,
bowed to the chair and marched down
the gangWay. Turning he said: II
have greater pleasure i'm leaving than
! ever had In entering this dirty house"
He pointed at MIR. Chamberlain and
he also shook his first and shouted:
Judas" Four times before he reached
the door did DR.. Tanner turn and re-
peat the epithet. The last words the
members heard were: .You wont try
any nonsense with me-"
DIR. Tanners suspension Is for a week.
