Predictions ~ to the Action Of the Com
Ing Convention.
Springfield, ILL.,, June 3.-Speculation
is considerably dividedhas to whether or
not there will be a large attendance at
the Democratic silver convention which
meets here on Wednesday. Secretary
Henrichson, who has the arrangements
in charge, says 1t will be the greatest
political gathering ever held in the state.
He estimates the attendance of dele
gates and spectators at 5000, and says
it may go higher than that. Robert e.
Burke, secretary of the Cook county
committee, telegraphs that Chicago will
send at least 1000 people to the conven-
>tion.
Very few of the old-time leaders of the
state Democracy will attend the con-
vention. Vice President Stevenson, Sen
ator Palmer, Colonel w. II. Morrison,
ex-Congressman Springer, National
Committeeman Ben T. Gable and Gen
eral John C. Black will be conspicuous
by their absence. They are not train
ing with the silver crowd. E. P. Hun
ter of Paris is one of the old-timers
who will be present. Hunter has al
ways been a silver man. He is one of
the few advocates of free coinage who
seems to think that its adoption by this
SOuulIy "Oulu ScAS us " u sHNCl DucAos
Ben Cable wall stay at home, but his
county will send strong delegation fo-
honest money.
1t is practically decided, 1t is now re-
ported, that the convention will formal
ly indorse David B. Hill of New York
for the presidential nomination on the
Free Silver National ticket, with probab-
ly Ex-Governor Boies of Iowa in second
place. OF course, If Mr.. Stevenson
should open his mouth and utter sill
-tongued blast, even at this late day.
the Chicago free silver patriots might
accept him, but they do not look for
such an utterance. They say he is be-
ing held back by his relatives, the Ew-
ings, all of whom are pronounced anti
silver men, 1t is, therefore, probable
that If an attempt is made to indorse Mr..
Stevenson, the Cook county delegation
will kick over the traces.

TIE NEXT CONGRESS
PoLLED ON THE SILVER oUEs.
TiON.
The New York World Tries to Get an Ex
preston of sontim, mt by Telegraph
But Small Proportion Speak Out.

New York, June 3.-The World yes
terday published a telegraphic poll OF
the next Congress as far as obtained on
the silver, tariff and income tax. The
World sums up the result as follows:
In a general way it may be said that
out of 116 members who gave unequivo-
cal answers to the silver question, fifty.
five are in favor of free coinage, forty
four favor bimetallism generally, with
the proviso Of an international agree
ment. Only seventeen can be fairly
classed as favoring single gold stand
ard, and the attitude of some Of these
even, Is not definite. The South and
Far Western states are almost unan
imous for free coinage, the Central
states lean toward silver with interna
tional bimetallic qualifications, and 1t is
only in New York, New England and
adjacent Eastern states that there are
any avowedly gold standard men.
In regard to the tariff only twenty
eight members are against any change
while thirty-five favor moderate changes
and thirty-eight are pronounced for
radical changes. A few are free traders
The moderates are chiefly those who
think changes will be necessary In or
der to increase revenues.
The income tax question brought out
many sharp and piquant answers. For.
ty-nine congressman say they favor the
principle of the tax. Forty-seven op
post it. A great many evaded the ques
ton, or failed to answer it.
A few details by states will be inter
esting. Alabama, Arkansas, California
Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Mississippi
Montana, Nevada, North Carolina
South Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia
Washington and Wyoming are solid for
silver, SO far as heard from. The bi
metallists are chiefly in Delaware
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kan
sas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota
Missouri, Nebraska. Ohio, Pennsylvania
and West Virginia.
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Yer
mont have the gold delegates. Ala
bama, Arkansas, Texas, the Carolinas
Georgia, Louisiana and most Of the
other Southern states are solid for the
income tax. New York and the Eas'
generally oppose it. Elsewhere the ai
vision is nearly even.

HOT in THE EAST.
Fatalities at PhiladeIpi,ia.-Tempe rature
of 1O1 at r ,ading.


Philadelphia, June 3.-The hot spell
in this vicinity continued yesterday. At
8 o'clock in the morning the temperature
was SO degrees and 1t rose steadily until
a maximum of % degrees was reached
at the signal service bureau at 2:15 p. m.
On the surface nearly all day 1t was in
the neighborhOOd of 100. The minimum
figures were II at p. m, Immediately
after brief thunder storm, but the mer-
curry resumed Its rise after that and was
81 at 6p. m.
Last night an unknown man succumb-
ed to the heat in Fernwood cemetery
and died in a few minutes. From papers
found on him 1t is thought he was E. E.
Weiss of New York.
Mrs. Ellen Casey, aged fifty, was over
come and died shortly afterwards. AL
most at the same time her husband,
John Casey, was driving in wagon
near Ardmore, when thunder storm
came up. His wagon was struck by
lightning and completely demolished and
he was severely injured.
Henry Stumgart, aged thirty, was
looking at thermometer in Jenkintown
in the afternoon when he collapsed and
it is thought he will die. A large num-
ber of other prostrations were reported.
In Reading the temperature was 1O1
at D. M, and at Altoona %. The thun-
der storm was general in the eastern Sec
ton. At Mount Carmel it was so severe
that houses were unroofed and trees up
rooted. In the rural districts crops were
badly damaged by hail and rain.

The Platte River Inundates the Suburban
Districts.


Districts.
Denver, June 3-That portion Of
Denver known as Jerome Park La in
great danger Of a flood more disas-
trous to property than the one that
took place a year ago. The river
Platte is steadily rising and at noon
began to overflow its banks just above
Rio Grande Avenue. Since o'clock
the water has risen at least one foot
and the flood is increasing at the rate
of one inch an hour.
Many of the people living on Rio
Grande Avenue, Rochester, Millison.
San Francisco and Weir streets are
moving out their effects, but it IL not
likely that more than the first floors Of
the houses will be deluged.
The first break in the Platte occurred
about IL o'clock about one hundred
yards above Rio Grande Avenue. At
this point the banks have been pushed
little by little into the bed of the
stream, and not enough space has been
allowed the stream when it becomes
active. By noon Millison Street was
inundated, and some fear was ex-
pressed that the grounds Of the Gar
field School would be turned into q
lake. The principal is closely watch
ing the rising waters and will dismiss
the children If the danger increases.
The water has driven~ewo 1Lddes
out Of their homes at the corner Of Rio
Grande Avenue and Millison Street.
At this point the water is a foot deep.
The lower mill ditch broke through
the west bank on Holden Street, but a
force Of men by throwing logs In the
breach prevented any great damage
being done.
Wild rumors prevail in jerome Park
that the flood is due to clOud-burst,
and that the high waters have not
reached them yet.

SILVER SURE TO WIN
cOUDERT's SIGNIFICANT PRE-
DICTlON.
Says That tn, Restoration of Silver Il
Bound to Come.-Thls Country Holds
the Key to the Situation.

New York, June 3.-Frederick r. Cou-
dert, the legal representative in this
country of the government of France,
tions, both in this country and Europe.
He read the Interview with Senator Hill
with a great deal of interest, and also
the interview in which William g. Whit
ney expressed his views on the silver
question. He said:
''If the nations of the world could
agree upon uniform standard, there
is no doubt in my mind that 1t would
be the greatest boon the world Of
finance has ever received. 1t strikes
me that ratio Of 151a to 1, 16 to l or
20 to would be immaterial, so long as
the ratio was uniform. 1t may come to
this, however, that the United States
will start out alone in the declaration for
bimetallism. l am not political econo-
mist, but have watched the course of
events with much interest, and have
read and talked with European writer's
on finance.
81 find that they are becoming i'm
pressed with the fact that unless the
European nations soon reach an agree
ment on the question of adopting uni
form double standard, They will have
to face the certainty that the United
States will do business on silver basis.
The spirit which is abroad throughout
the West and South Is such that it can
not be ignored, and if the fact becomes
evident that the nations of Europe in
tend to refuse any relief, the storm will
break"
"The result would undoubtedly be a
financial revolution and loss to the
United States, but it would be ruin to
Europe. They are beginning to recog-
nize the fact that they cannot get along
without us, while we can get along
without them. If the worst comes to
the worst, we could build Chinese wall
of silver around our country and the
world would be knocking at our doors.
I tell you, they are afraid to tempt
Providence too long. They are just wax
ing up to this fact, and the prudence of
the financiers of England and the con-
tinent will force the conclusion that sill
yer must be recognized as currency, or
they will be forced to recognize it."

Four Hundred Girls Who Won't Marry

New York, June 3.-The Suns Dan
bury, Connecticut, special says: The
temperance society, composed Of young
women who have pledged themselves
not to marry man who drinks intoxi-
cants, now numbers 400. and the young
women at Bethel, about three miles
from here, will join the society. The
society perfected an organization last
night, and elected the following officers:
President, Miss Maggie Drum; vice
president, Miss Mary Higgins; Secre-
tary, Miss Annie Fox; treasurer, Miss
Jose Mcnamara The name Of the or
ganization will be the St Peters Ladies'
Temperance society. The Rev. Father
Lynch was present at the meeting and
spoke for an hour, commencing and en-
couraging thu !-oung women in the step
they had taken. Each member sub
scribes to the platform of the society,
one of the clauses Of which is against
marrying men who drink. Each young
woman declares that she would rather
live an old maid than to put herself in
the position of being the wife of such
man. The members of the society ex-
pect to enroll 1000 names.

IN JUNE AND JULY.
Less in tho Former and Greater In the
Latter Month.


Latter Month.
Washington, D. c., June 3.-Treasury 3.
officials are now confident that the close
of the fiscal year one month hence will
show deficit of not more than $44 .OOO,-
900, and possibly not more than $43.-
100000. which is at least $4,000, 900 less
than was predicted only few weeks
ago, and S3.00O.OOO or $4,O0O,O0O less
than the present figures. 1t Is shown
that the pension payments during June
will be at least $25O.OOO less than for
May, and that the payments on account
of interest will also be reduced 81 800
900, with an increase of the internal rev.
enue of $3,O0O,OOO. On account of
special liquor, tobacco and oleomargar-
inc licenses, which must be paid before
July 1, and very material reductions in
pension and interest payments, 1t is con-
fidently expected that next month will
show a small surplus, with the deficit
further reduced to at least $44 900, 900.
The month of July, however, is likely
to sec the deficit increased by at least
$4,000, 900. as that months interest
payments will aggregate about $1,000
600.
Disbursements in every branch of the
government are usually much heavier in
July than in any other month, SO that
without the receipts are greatly in
creased. the deficit on August 1 next
will not likely fall much short of $780,
100000 for the thirteen months

Against Chill

Washington, D. c., June 3.-Reports
from the Argentine republic show that
there is very active war party which Is
agitating the prospects Of war with
Chill. The Argentine boundary COM
missioners have returned from Chill and
reported satisfactory progress, but the
Argentine press keeps up the talk OF

SIN the present critical state of feeling

or of public men, are to be sincerely de-
plored Some street row in a border
town, some petty insult to either of the
national flags and we would see the ex-
perience of quarter of century ago

The Argentine government seems to
regard hostilties as possible, and is TAX
ing every step of precaution. The na-
tional guard is arming and drilling, and
officers have been dispatched to Europe
to purchase armament. A loan of $780,
100000 is being considered to meet pos
sible war expenditures. report from

Imminent, SO much so that the govern
ment has stationed the Monitor Ell Plata

A Woman Murdered in San Francisco
A Suspected Man Fatally Hurt.
San Francisco, June 3.-The police are
still looking for the murderer Of Miss
Harrington, whose mutilated body was
found In her house on ELLIS street yes.
terday. The woman had been stabbed
and beaten to death by means OF some
blunt instrument which has not yet been
found. Other occupants of the house
told the police of an elderly man who
called frequently on Miss Harrington
and who took her out driving.
In the murdered woman's room was
found photograph of ex-State Senator
L. w. Buck, one of the most prominent
fruit growers of the state. The people
Of the house identified the picture OF
Buck as that of the man who called to
see Miss Harrington. The police sent to
Senator Bucks house in Oakland and re-
quested him to come to San Francisco
and tell what he knew of the case.
Mr.. Buck started to drive to the sta
ton, but on the way was thrown from
his buggy and seriously injured. He IS
suffering from concussion Of the brain
and may not recover. Senator Buck was
at his home yesterday between the hours
of IL and o'clock, and it is known that
the murder was committed between IL
and o'clock.
A young Japanese who had engaged
room In the house has been detained
pending investigation. but 1t Is not be-
lieved he had anything to do with the
murder.
Ex-senator Bucks physicians said to-
night that the injured man could not
possibly survive, and his death Is only
question of few hours. When pitch
ed out Of the buggy Mr.. Buck struck
the ground on his head, fracturing the
skull.
While the police will not say definitely
that they suspect Senator Buck of the
murder, their actions lead to the belief
that they think he knows something
about It. 1t has been proved that Buck
was constant caller on Miss Harring-
ton and had taken her driving and to
various resorts. The police say that the
murder was committed by some one inti-
mately acquainted with Miss Harrington
and her habits.
