BOYCOTT ON BANK NOTES,
Sovereign Issues a Manifesto
to the Knights of
Labor.
Other ORGANIZATIONS That Favor Re-
form Asked to Take Hand
in the Fight.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 18.-Gen-
eral Master Workman Sovereign of the
Knights of Labor has issued a circular let
ter or manifesto to the members of the or
ganization, as well as to kindred organiza-
tions throughout the country, having in
view the establishment of boycott upon
all National bank notes. The manifesto is
in the words of General Master Workman
Sovereign, addressed to "All lovers of
liberty" and reads as follows:
Behind the proposition to perpetuate mon
etary system in this country, based on a single
gold standard, is proposition to perpetuate
the National banks. In fact, the National
banks, in their individual capacity, and
through the American Bankers Association are
bulwarks of the single gold standard money.
They realize that gold alone will not be ac-
cepted by the American people as the only
circulating medium. and therefore they de-
mand that the monetary prerogatives of Gov
ernment be farmed out to them, making pri-
vate interests and not the public welfare the
only motive for furnishing paper circulation
to meet the requirements of business
The National banks are responsible for the
destruction of the greenbacks, the payment of
the bonds in coin, the funding acts, the de-
monetiZation of silver. and all the corrupt
financial legislation in the country for the past
thirty years. They have boycotted and dis
eliminated against every kind of money that
promised relief to the debtor class and pros
perity to the industrial masses. They are boy
cotters OF the most cruel and merciless kind.
Now we propose, through the Knights of
Labor, Farmers Alliance, Peoples party and
all reform organizations that a boycott be
placed on the notes of National banks, and on
and after September 1, 1895, our people be re-
quested and urged to accept no National bank
bills in any of the ordinary transactions of
business. National bank notes are legal tender
between the National Government and the
people and between the banks and Govern.
ment, but not legal tender between indi-
viduals.

the mint. Indeed it is considerably more
than double what it has been in any one
of the four last years say yes, that is
in the record and occurred. No doubt
about it,
Questions were then answered by Mr..
Harvey, who said:
This question is by H. L. Bliss of the
Sound Money League of Chicago: You
state that there was col %ed, prior to 1873,
$143, 100000 of silver, and that there was
besides 500, 100000 of foreign coin in cir
culation. There had been coined also
$3.50, 900, 600 of gold. Was this also in cir
culation?'
1.-THE answer is that they were both in
circulation up to the suspension of specie
payments in 1861. Up to 1850 there were
two dollars in silver in circulation in this
country to one dollar in gold. Then came
she enormous gold discoveries in Califor-
MIA and the large increase in gold circula-
tion that makes Mr.. Bliss figures show up
so well for gold. Then came those discov-
cries between 1880 and 1878. How much of
this gold has gone abroad l do not under
take to say"
1.-The next question is by Mr.. L. G..
Powers of Michigan, In Coins Financial
School Up to Date, page 152, you say,
Coin here explains how an error had crept
into the official report of the Treasurer.
That he had since forced the Treasury De-
partment TO correct that error. Please ex-
plain the manifest discrepancy?
The answer is, Coin little boy in
knee pants, represents the cause of bimet-
allism he does not represent me. GAp-
plause and groans on each side of the
house respectively would not have the
egotism to claim that 1 represent
Coin in the many arguments and senti-
ments and kind things said about the
title boy by the author, and when Coins
influence is exercised at Washington or
San Francisco or Memphis it means the
influence of bimetaIlism and humanity,

hearing of the debate was adjourned until

SUCCESS OF UN|OK|STS,
Onward Flows the Tide With
Somewhat MOnotonOuS
PerSiStenCy.
There Can No Longer Be Any Doubt
as to the Defeat of John
Morley.

LONDON, Eng, July 1S.-The polling
thus far gives the following results: Con-
servatives 256, Unionists AZ, Liberals 70,
Anti-ParneIlites, SO, Parnellites 6. The
Conservatives net gam is now 49. The
Unionists have gained sixteen seats and
the Liberals ten.
The tide of Unionist success flows on
with monotonous persistency. The result
in Hythe, which was announced at. about
midnight, completed the long list of sue
cesses in the English boroughs, which are
now all polled. Whatever prospective COM
fort the Liberals draw from the remaining
English counties and Scotch and Welsh
electorates must needs be chastened by de-
feats and equalized by the successes here
tofore recorded in those quarters.
The popularity of Sir II. Campbell Ban
herman, lately Secretary of State for War,
enabled him to retain the Stirling bor-
oughs with an increased majority, but the
Liberals have qualms regarding East Fife
shire, represented in the last Parliament
by the Right Hon. Herbert Asquith, the
Home Secretary, and Midlothian, Mr..
Gladstones old district. in both of which
constituencies polling took place to-day.
The result will not be known until midday
tomorrow. The Unionists believe that
they have wrested Mr.. Gladstone's seat
from the Liberals and wiped out Mr.. As
quith's majority of 1884, given him in 1892.
The worst blow that the Liberals received
to-day was the announcement of the de-
fe at of the Right Hon. John Morley, for
merly Chief Secretary for Ireland.
The party leaders had little if any hope
that he would be returned, but under the
present circumstances they are grasping at
straws, knowing full we'll what bad effect
the defeat of the members of the late Gov
eminent will have upon the elections yet
to be held. 1t is freely stated that Mr..
Morley will not seek reelection in any
other district, but that he will retire from
political life and devote himself to litera-
ture. But the same rumor was current
respecting Sir Will am Vernon Harcourt,
who is now actively campaigning in the
west division of Monmouthshire after his
defeat in Derby

The Prison directors determined to Make
Them Obey the Lac.
SAN QUENTIN, CAL, July 1s.--The
Board of Prison Directors are to renew
their warfare against the saloons here
which are located within the prohibited
distance of one mile from the prison. The
Directors claim that it is impossible to
secure conviction in the county, and are
inclined to censure the county officials for
their alleged listless prosecution of the Of
tenders They also claim that the saloons
operate without licenses, in that no license
can be issued legally for the stands they
occupy.
An appeal was made to Governor Budd
in the matter on the occasion OF his visit to
the prison yesterday, and he called the
Attorney-General into the conference.
That officer stated that in case no convic-
tions could be secured by criminal process
through the District Attorneys Office the
Directors should secure an injunction re-
straining the saloon-keepers from selling
liquor within the statutory distance from
the prison. In case the injunction should
be disregarded the court would undoubt-
edly punish the offenders for contempt.
The Attorney-General added signif-
cantly that it was possible also to lnsti-
tute proceedings against District Attor-
ney if he did not properly perform the
duties of his Office"

STOCKTON, CAL, July 1S.-The trial OF
James Brown, chairman of the Board OF
Supervisors, charged with having received
a bribe for his vote for Architect Rush's
plans for the new county hospital, came
to an end to-day.
When the court convened this morning
the defense rested their case and the argu-
ment was opened by Assistant District
Attorney Devries one of the most brilliant
young lawyers in Stockton, His speech
was full of sarcasm that made the Super
visor vince.
Judge Swinnerton followed for the de-
fense. 1t was known that he was primed
for brilliant effort and the spectators
were not disappointed, for Swinnerton put
up an able defense for his client. Exon
gresham James 4. Loutitt, chief counsel
for Brown, also made an able speech, and
this afternoon District Attorney Nutter
closed for the prosecution.
The case was given to the jury at 2:55
O'Clock. In about an hour they came in
for further instructions from the court and
then retired for further deliberation. At 6
o'clock they were still unable to come to a
decision and were taken to dinner by a
Deputy Sheriff. At that time 1t was un-
derstood that the vote last taken by the
jurors stood eight for acquittal and four
for conviction.
Crowds fingered for hours around the
courtroom and in the corridors of the
courthouse, as all of the people here were
greatly interested in the case.
At 1855 o'clock the jury was brought into
court and declared it could not agree upon
verdict. After reading once more por-
ton of his instructions, Judge Budd sent
them back to again deliberate.
At $50 o'clock the jury was again
brought into court and discharged, as there
was no possibility of an agreement. Seven
Jurors were for acquittal and five for con-
Viction.
There is intense feeling against some of
the men who testified against Brown, and
should he be given another trial there will
be difficulty in getting jury.
Brown has host of warm friends in the
county who have stood by him through
everything and who cannot be induced to
believe him guilty. Many of these came
from all parts of the county to attend the
trial, which was the first CT its kind in the
history of San Joaquin County.

THE MAYOR ABDICATES.
He Surrenders the Keys of the
City to Her Gracious
Majesty.
PARADEs ON LAND AND WATER.
The Most Magnificent Spectacles
Ever Witnessed In the Red
wood Region.

| EUREKA CAL, July 1S.-This morning
was almost entirely given over to the re-
ception of visitors, of whom about 10000
had arrived before noon.
Shortly before 1 O'Clock the great crowd
assembled before the pavilion, where
Queen Sequoia was to receive her crown.
The Queen, accompanied by her nine
lovely maids arrayed in white, soon ap-
peared, guarded by her six mounted
knights in armor and accompanied by her
prime minister, and assembled the throne.
The path which led to the pavilion was
thickly strewn with flowers, tribute of the
fiower-girls.
After the Mayor in a beftting speech
had presented Queen Sequoia with the keys
of the city and Prime Minister Puter had
delivered the royal proclamation the reti-
nue. entered their respective vehicles and
made haste to join the grand parade,
which was in course of formation about
the courthouse block
The Queens dress was of green satin,
embelished with pearls. The robe, which
was three yards in length, was carried by
liveried pages. 1t was OF garnet colored
velvet and trimmed with ermine.
The parade was the grandest affair ever
witnessed before in Redwood Realm"
and compared favorably with other like pa
rades previously seen in the State. 1t was
composed of four divisions, commanded
by the marshal and his aids. Floats rep
resenting industries and private enter
prises, decorated carriages, uniformed So
cieties, fire companies and the Chief and
officers of police made up the parade. The
floats were by far the grandest and most
interesting feature. No expense was
spared in their construction, and the origi-
nality and ingenuity displayed were aston
ishing.
The water fete which took place on the
bay this evening was fitting termination
to the pleasures of the day. The process

object of much admiration. The process

When about half a mile down the bay
the flagship and the Queens barge turned
and, as they returned up the bay, re-
viewed the magnificent and highly illu-
minated procession amid general saluting.

GRIFFIN, GA, July 1s.-The bimetal-
lists of Georgia met in convention here to-
day. Every part of the State was repre-
sented. Senator Morgan of Alabama made
the speech of the day. "He was there, u
he said, Gas disciple of Jefferson, Madi-
son and Jackson, to speak in defense of
the acts of Congress providing for the free
coinage of silver, which policy was stabbed
below the fifth rib by John Sherman and
left for dead"
Senator Morgan discussed the monetary
question from every point of view. He
declared the national banking system a
menace to the welfare of the country. He
advocated free equal coinage and the use
as full legal tender of gold and silver.
"That was" he said, ''the test of true BIZ
metallism."
Continuing, Senator Morgan said that
Cleveland, in his financial policy, agreed
with the Northeastern States-that furnish
Democratic candidates-thatt the gold issue
shall be considered apart from the party
creeds, and that the ''solid South shall
die broken. Mr.. Morgan concluded an
elaborate disquisition on the value OF sill

NetC Party.
CHICAGO, I'LL, July 1S.-The executive
committee appointed at the Memphis Free
Silver Convention held meeting to-day
in this city. The first session was held
this afternoon, and the sentiment ex-
pressed seemed to be that it would not be
policy to form new political party at this
time. The leaders seem to favor a cam
paign of education, of organization, of
crystallization and waiting on the attitude
of the old political parties.
Party ties are too strong in many
States,' said Congressman Acklen of Ten
nessee, "to warrant any attempt at form
ing a new party at present. The people
are with US, but we must wait until their
respective parties refuse to recognize the
coinage of silver before we ask them to
break loose from present ties and cast their
lot with a new party"
This sentiment was regarded as the key
note OF the situation. The meeting this
afternoon and evening was informal, and
the formal conference will begin with to-
morrow S session.

mother of the two murdered children, ar

evening. To reporter who met her at
the train she said she had come to Toronto
because Detective Geyer had requested her
to do so. She did not know what her ar
