Timetable Union for Teller.

Chicago. July S.--The National BIZ
metallic union, with other friends OF
free silver, met yesterday morning in
room $40 of the Fort Dearborn build
ing. President A. j. Warner was
chairman, and general round-the-tabla
talk occupied two hours. 1t was de-
cided that the prevailing conditions
called for energetic and immediate ac-
ton to counterfeit the tendency toward
third ticket, which, the bimetallists
said meant defeat for the cause Of free
silver. At the the same time the consen-
sus of opinion of those in the confer
ence was that Henry II. Teller was the
best man to put forward to unite the
south and west on silver plank.

dent Garfield. Monsignore Thorpe OF
the Immaculate Conception church
preached the sermon, in which he
cautioned the strikers who are strug-
Cling with the company against doing
any violence. The priest also admon~
ished the strikers to remember that
capital has rights and to be careful
not to interfere with the liberty OF
non-union men who took their places.
He urgently appealed to the men to
turn a deaf ear TO anarchists an( COM
munists who had come from the slums
of the streets of Europe, where men are
not men. Union men from Toledo, Ak
ron, and Canton We're in line. Several
hundred of the striking Polish quarry
