PEARS FROM A FRIEND.
A Gift That Caused Miss Flag
Ter to Be Seized With
Commissions.
the Fruit Recalled the Killing
of Green.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 14.-The
News this afternoon says: Miss Flagler,
who shot and killed young Ernest Green,
and who is only beginning to recover from
the prostration attending the tragedy, has
received a terrible shock, the innocent
cause of which was one of the young lady's
most devoted and sincere friends. Green,
as is known, received the fatal shot from
Miss Flagler's pistol while in the act of
picking up pear which had fallen from
I the tree.
Miss Flagler's friend, who is young
woman living in the country, without
thinking of the significance attaching to
the sending of several specimens of fruit to
her, and entirely out of the goodness of
her heart, expressed basketful of pears
to Miss Flagler. inclosing friendly note.
Miss FIagler chaneed to see the package,
and with her own hands opened it. The
first thing she saw the large and beautiful
pears carefully packed in the basket. 1t
seemed to her the work of some vicious
mind to send such package. So violent
was the shock to her that she was seized
with convulsions. A physician was hastily
summoned, and grave fears for her were
entertained for some hours.

secret, and most of the members ap-
preached refused to give any views con-
corning the resolutions.
The reason why Senator Turpie of In
diana, whose arrival has been anxiouslv
awaited, is not here, is because of illness in
his family. A prominent delegate stated
that Representative Bland of Missouri was
not expected and no disappointment was
felt because he had not arrived. Harry NJ.
Hill Of st. Louis, one of the delegates,
when asked to state the tenor of the reso-
futlons and addresses, said:
The resolutions will urge that a National
committee be formed, composed of one
member from each State, with full power
to direct that subcommittee be appointed
IN certain States to carry on the good work
whenever it be considered necessary. OF
course it is left discretionary with the Ma
tlonal Committee members as to whether
such organization is necessary, for the rea-
son that many of the States, such as Illi-
nois, Missouri, Texas, Arkansas and Mis-
slsslppi, have recently declared for free
silver almost unanimously. There is no
doubt, however, that organizations will be
perfected in all the States. The resolutions
will deal with other subjects, but until to-
morrow it will not definitely be decided
how they shall read. In a conference OF
this kind, when the conferees represent so
many States it is but natural that great
many side issues should be presented for
consideration, and these take time to dis
pose of.
'"There will be an address prepared set
~ L. l..
and the needs of the silver party. A fight
is declared on inside the ranks of the
Democratic party, and under the banner
of the Thomas Jefferson Democracy, for
the free coinage of silver at the ration OF
16 to 1, and not under the banner of Joe
Jefferson, now fishing.
''Of course the resolutions we submit
may be defeated, but such result is not
expected. Thus far absolute harmony has
prevailed, and such unison as we have had
will be sure to bring about satisfactory re-
suits. a number of delegates have signi-
fed their intention of making speeches
but none of them will probably be of lone
duration. At any rate, we will adjourn
tomorrow sine die, as it will not be neces
sary to name time for the next conven
ton before the coming campaign.
"Some inquiry has been made as tc
whether we intend to name a choice fol
the Presidential nomination. While indi
vidual members may discuss that subject
it can be stated that the conference will
not go on record at this time as favorine
anybody"
The subcommittee will report to the full
committee at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning
the result of their work, and the lattel
committee will have one hour in which Il
discuss it. In case the resolutions and ad
dresses meet with the committees appro
val they will, at 10 o'clock, be submitted Il
the conference.

A ROAST FOR CLEVELAND,
Caustic Arraignment of the
President by Senator
Butler.
Denounced as Dishonest, a Traitor
and a Tool Of the Gold
bugs.

RALEIGH, N. c., Aug. Ex-senator
Marion Butter, in his speech at Concord,
made one of the severest attacks on Presi-
dent Cleveland ever heard in North Caro-
lima. He said:
"The man who puts party above princi-
pie is the best tool the goldbugs have, and
the devil never had better servant than
the goldbug. Every bond this Govern
ment owes England or any other country,
or individual, is payable in gold or silver
at the option of the Government, and it
says so on the face of the bond. Yet Cleve-
land is going to England to get gold when
he could pay bonds in silver. He does not
pay them in silver because he is hireling
of the goldbugs.
II charge it here, and I'll charge it on
the floor OF the United States Senate if he
sends down his army after me for saying
so. If you have an honest man for Presi-
dent he could make times easier in ten
days by calling Congress together to fur
nish relief.
'sIt is not enough to send honest men to
Congress. We will never see better times
until we drive traitors out of the White
House and get an honest free-silyer man
for President"

tions are done by check; the cash is not
of money year, but suppose don't see
$4,000 in actual cash. Confidence is the
great factor behind the currency question
"In response to inquiries I was very
careful, as. is my habit, to speak conserva-
lively and cautiously. There is evidently
a strong interest in Europe in our securi-
ties; but we have had so many poor things
there now. This is good thing for the
people. 1t will make them more careful" !"
AS to the recent issue of Government
bonds in this country. Mr.. Huntington
said:
AZ heard almost nothing about it abroad,
that is especially in conversation. They
know there that our gold bonds will be
paid in gold, and that is all there is of it.
There is no better security in the world
than our Government bonds, and as
that goes without saying, there is not
much talk abroad about our bond issues
Mr.. Huntington took deep interest in
the British elections, and of the result he
said:
There was general feeling of satisfac-
ton in getting the people who supported
Gladstone out and getting the Salisbury
government in. The foreign policy under
Salisbury will be stronger and more stable
than under Gladstone. have great faith
in Salisbury, whose career have watched
with great interest. / think now there
will be a development of commercial in
terests in African trade. The Government
has lust taken over the British East
African Company, and good results may
be expected from this. This company was
going to build a railroad from the east
coast of Africa into the interior as
far as Victoria Nyanza, to connect
with the chain of the three great
lakes. Were I going to build / should go
up the Juba River where steamers reach
and so save some 100 miles of road to build
to Lake Victoria Nyanza. When the road
is built it will civilize the country and
break up the slave trade. 1t will open up
a fine country. / took an interest in the
East African company myself to the ex-
tent of 5000 directly. did this not as a
speculation, for l expected to sink the
money, but to open up the country. In
stead of buliding the road the Englishmen
thought it better to sell out. Gladstone
was vacillating in his foreign policy, but
now that Salisbury is at the head of affairs
and the government has taken the COM
pany up, think the railroad will be put
through.
~ also put 1000 into the railroad to be
built along the Congo under the auspices
of the Belgians. Leopold III individually
put a great deal of money into that scheme.
The Congo falls some 210o feet in some $50
miles. so the road was to be built fifty or
sixty miles away from the river but paral-
iel to it's course to. Stanley Pool, whence
there would be good navigation. Again !
expected to lose my money, but put it in
for opening up the country. 1t looks
doubtful about the building of that road.
/ think more speculation in Belgium than
building in the Congo is going on in that
matter"

I believe that silver should be legal
tender to the amount of $25.' They said
over there that they were willing to make
silver a legal tender up to S.. There is
more silver in sight ten times over in
France than there is in this country. The
same is true in England. Here man
will apologize to you If he gives you
silver dollar instead of bill. If l wish
to pay a hackman for a short drive at
night would rather pull out dollar of
our daddies' than try to hunt up bill. can
be sure of the silver dollar, but must have
a light to make sure of the amount of the
bill. The people of our country are rather
educated up to the use OF paper, although
in 1887 there was lots of it that was good
for nothing. Now we are accustomed to
using il and we don't like silver, but we
would if we got used to it, as they are in
France and England. Why, it is common
there to pay for 81 or $5 worth of goods in
silver. By gradual approaches We may
some time get silver on parity with gold,
but not now. / talked this abroad and
they seemed to regard this view of the
matter favorably.
GAS to the 16 to / question, l would
rather have the Government stamp on a
piece of silver on Is to l basis and de-
clare that this was dollar than to have
it on "a to 1 basis, for the latter would be
too big. If the stamp of our Government
saws that such or such piece of silver is a
dollar-I am queer about these things, but
such is my view-then, if the Government
be honest, that piece of silver is dollar.
But the danger is that we might get into
the hands of dishonest people. and they
would end up perhaps by trying to make
dollars out of our forests. Give US good
men in power and it doesn't matter much
what the currency is. Our large transac-

afternoon and chatted about his trip,
American securities abroad, railroads, the
East African Company, in whose fortunes
he expressed deep concern; the Mica

Prince Albert coat. As to his trip Mr..

mo, I found nothing new in railroad
matters over there. 1 don't think their
railroads are as good as ours. Their fares
are much higher, and in some countries
they allow you no baggage except hand
bag. In Belgium you have to pay for all
your baggage. Their cars are very good.
They generally gave me saloon-car, pos
sibly because l was a railroad man,
although l paid my way.
"I found everything in Europe looking
well, the crops especially. Money is very
cheap all over Europe. They are particu.
lar what they buy. AS to American se-
curities they stand well. But Europeans
have learned to be discriminating, and
their investments are now made only after
careful investigation. l had much in
quiry made of me regarding American
railroad securities. AS l never organized

coupons, 1 suppose investors came to me

rely upon what / said. 1 told them, as /
tell you, that there has been much reck-
lessness on the part of railroad builders in
this country, but that this era had largely
passed, and thought that much had been
learned here through experience; that
there were good railroads and bad rail-
roads. l need not mention the roads that
have been recklessly handled. You know
them.
''These inquiries were made of me par
ticularly in Germany, England and Hol-
land. In France there is hardly anything
held in our securities. There is as much
holding of our securities in England as in
the past. In London Pennsylvania 4 per
cents were all sold out at 108; Chicago
bonds sold at less than per cent, as l read
it. There is good market for safe rail
road securities and for the bonds of our
large cities.
"The silver question is being discussed
abroad a good deal" Mr.. Huntington said,
and added: ''They don't want US to run
into silver currency. told them that sill
yer would always have place in financial
economy, and that fourteen-twentieths of
the human race belonged to the debtor
class, who would insist that silver should
have good place. There was no one in
this country. l said, but who wanted
silver to have good place. 1
told them that the gold people
on our side were learning wisdom and
favored good place for silver, but they
did not want it to the extent that silver
should be legal tender. To the silver men

RAWLsoNs GREAT SCHEME.
Arrest of the Man Who Stole Railroad
Rails at Wholesale.

Rats at HHOteSdte.
CHICAGO. ILL, Aug. IA. W. Rawl-
son was arrested here tonight on war
rant charging larceny from the Union
Pacific Railroad in Nebraska. July 25 last
Rawlson and his partner hired a dozen
men and six teams at Grand Island, Nebr.,
and attempted to load a lot of steel rails on
fiat cars at Grand Island for shipment to
Chicago and Indiana. AT the time Rawl-
sons partner was arrested, but Rawlson
escaped, and coming to Chicago went to
work as a collector for business house.
The police here say that the two men
had planned to steal $4,000 worth of.rails
and ship them to Chicago and that they
made contracts for delivery to several
parties is definitely known. They
chartered cars from the Burlington road
for the shipment.
Previous to July 25. while Rawlson was
in Chicago making contracts for the de-
livery of the iron. he encountered Azel +.
Hatch, a lawyer. Rawlson painted the
scheme with such q rosy hue that Mr..
Hatch. the police say, advanced Rawlson
5000. This part of the ory is denied by
Mr.. Hatch. Rawlson will probably de-
mand requisition before returning to
Nebraska.

Bandit Silrta Recaptured.

TRENTON, Mo-, Aug. 14.-Nat Silvia,
murderer and train-robber, was arrested at
Spickard and placed in the Trenton Jail
with his wife. In 1893 Silvia and Frots-
men held up the Rock Island train near
Round Pond, o. T., but the robbery was
frustrated when brakeman killed one of
the bandits. Silvia was captured later,
after he had killed three deputy marshals,
and put in jail. He knocked the iailer
down with the latter's pistol and escaped
before be had been tried. His capture was
the result of long search, and was accom-
pIished by strategy.

The court then reviewed the crime and
the statutes bearing on the case. He con-
sidered the much-discussed section void
and intimated that the two-year sentence
was not intended to cover such case.
The worst part OF Taylor's crime, in the
estimation of the Judge, was that he had
tried to force a compromise after getting
