SILvERITES GATHER.
Oyer Hundred Expected at the
Washington Poyyyyoyy.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator
Harris, of Tennessee, is the only mem
Der OF the committee which signed
the call for a conference of Democrats
on the silver question, to take place in
Washington tomorrow, who had ar
rived here up to this morning. Senators
Jones, of Arkansas, and Turpie, of In
diana, are the other two members of
the committee, and both are expected
before the opening conference. The
meeting will be held in the parlors of
the Metropolitan hotel and will con-
tlnue one or two days, its durat ton de-
pending on the will of those present.
1t Is not intended that the gathering
snail be mass meeting, but merely a
meeting OF representative Democrats of
the country to the extent of two or
three from each state who favor the
free coinage of silver by the United
States, independent of other nations,
and who believe that the success of the
party in the future is dependent upon
Its assuming an aggressive policy on
this line. The meeting will have two
principal purposes. The first will be to
devise a plan to hold all the silver
Democrats in the Democratic party, and
the second, to ensure, if possible, a, dec
laration for free coinage at the next
National Democratic convention. To
accomplish the latter purpose it is ex-
pected that an organization will be per-
fected in every state represented in the
conference, whose principal purpose
snail be that of securing delegates to
the convention pledged to a silver plat
form, and to a candidate of correspond
ing views. 1t is expected that men will
be selected to take charge of this work
IN each of the states. Senator Harris
thinks about thirty states will be repre-
sented at the conference
There were a number of arrivals of
members on the afternoon and late
night trains and it is expected by some
OF the more enthusiastic advocates of
the white metal that upwards of one
hundred will be on hand when the con-
ference is called to order tomorrow.
Illinois and Missouri are well repre-
sented. Those from the former state in
clude Hon. w. H. Hinrichsen, secretary
OF state and chairman of the Demo-
cratic state committee; Hon. George
w. Fithian, John A. Barnes and George
NJ. LIE Crone, members of the legisIa-
ture;s Harry Hill, st. Louis; Joe Rickey
and George Allen. Others here are
r Representatives Cox, of Tennessee, and
Neill, of Arkansas; Allen w. Clark.
president of the State Silver League of
Indiana, and Olney Newell, secretary of

The Kansas Populist to Take the
Stump Against Free Coin-
age.

EMPORIA, Kan, Aug. 13.-Sena-
tor PETER has written a letter to ].
D. Holden, of this city, in which he
comes out strongly in favor Of cur
rency based upon land values alone.
He has discarded silver and the sub
treasury plan, and writes that he
believes the chief trouble with the
country is interest, and it's twin evil,
rent. He calls attention to the fact
that the average rate of interest is
Z per cent, and states that the net
average savings of the people for
the past forty years has not been
over per cent
1--WE are" he continues, paying
more than twice as much for the
use of the money we have been COM
PEELED to borrow as we have been
able to save from our labor. Rents
are governed by prevailing rates for
the use of money. I have come to
the conclusion that, giving all prop
er consideration to every plan of
reform which has been suggested,
the people cannot recover from their
excessive burdens Of debt except
through the abolition of interest, or
at least by reducing the rate to
level below that of the permanent
savings of the people. To abolish in
terest will require that the people
themselves, acting through their
properly constituted agent, the gov
ernment,- shall take charge of their
own monetary affairs, preparing, is
suing and controlling their own mon
ey, through their own instrumental
tiles, as may be best adapted to the
purpose. I can see no way out of
our troubles in the direction 1 have
spoken of that will be safe, so just,
so easy of accomplishment and so eff
ficient, as to coin our land, issue
money based upon our wealth, and
abolish the business of issuing mon
ey by corporations
In an interview in Emporia Mr..
PETER, said that, he was glad to see
the land money idea progressing in
the face of what he called "rabid
metallism." He has declared against
free coinage and is against the en-
tire silver movement. He will take
the stump against it this fall.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 13.-Parker
II. Sercrombe, editor of the Daily
Times. of Laredo, Tex, in an inter-
view today ON the undeveloped re-
sources of Mexico and Texas, said
the interest of investors and busi-

the steady stream of Americans go

train loads of agricultural, mining
and mill machinery continually pass
ing through Laredo, the gateway
to Mexico. Every inducement is Of
fered to American investors by the
government of Mexico, and Presi-
dent Diaz recently stated that he
wanted two million hustling, wide
awake Americans to come in and
help to develop the magnificent re-
sources of Mexico and reap the re-
ward of wealth that will be sure to
follow. Mr.. Sercrombe said that the
of Mexico was at pres
ent being administered in a far mora
efficient manner than the govern
ment of the United States. Mexican
officials, both civil and military, are

Taylor was taken into court this
morning and arraigned on the charge
of embeZzling $685., ,024.S4 from the
state funds. His attorneys filed a
demurrer to the indictment on the
ground that the grand jury had no
authority to examine into the offense
charged, as it was committed outside
OF their jurisdiction, and no public
oHense was charged in the indict-
ment. The demurrer was overruIed
and Taylor called upon to plead, and
a plea of guilty was entered. His
attorneys waived the two days for
pronouncing judgment, and asked
that bail be fixed. The judge re-
fused to fix bail, and remanded Tay-
Ior to the sheriff, fixing the time of

Work of the Board of EquaIiza-
tiOn at Duluth.
DULUTH, Aug. 13.-The franchise
taxation question has been settled for
this year, as the, board of equalization
has decided to advance Assessor Wad-
hams figures materially. Only two of
the companies owning franchises
showed up with sworn statements as
to earnings and expenses, and it is not
too much to presume that those that
did not make any statements were not
over anxious to show the commission
ers how well they were doing. The
board compromised between the valua-
ton fixed by the assessor and the audi
tor, but did not cut the auditors fig
ures to any extent. Next year, when
the times are better, and people up here
are used to the idea of taxing fran
chises, the amount of the valua ton will
be materially increased. The valua-
tionS as fixed are: Duluth Street Rail-
way company, SIS, 900; Duluth Gas and
Water company, $125,000; Hartman
General Electric company, $25, 600; West
Duluth Water company, $4,000.
