Members of the executive committee
have assured the silver men that no
steps had been taken looking to the
selection Of temporary officers. This
has had the effect of causing the mem
bers Of the bimetallic organization to
feel that possibly their apprehensions
were unfQunded and to conclude that
probably there will be no effort Mt snap
judgment They, however, presented
statement of the action of the hi.
metallic committee, and asked that
that committee be allowed to suggest
the temporary presiding officer.
If this request is not grantad they
will report * their full committee, and
the full committee will proceed to select
man for the place, and purpose for
his election at the outset of the conven-
tion in the tlce of q contrary nomina-
tion by the national committee. This
course will not, however, be adopted
without full warning to the national
committe, III case such warning appears
to be necessary. Also in the event that
they wonld consent to compromise
that would allow the national commit.
tee to make its own selection of pre-
siding officer in case they agree to take
q silver man and to submit the name.to

The silver men are very determined
upon the point of not being thwarted
In this matter and are giving their en-
sire attention to it, They have told the
committee very plainly that the only
way TO avoid n clash in the convention,
and for the national committee to avoid
being repudiated is for them to accede
TO the wishes of the silver men in this
matter. They assert that 1t Will have
to be made apparent from the begin
ming that it is to be a silver conven-
tion, and that this can be demonstrated
| in no way so clearly as in ths selection
of temporary presiding officer.

many of whom have not left the mouth

stand near the opening to the death

greater efforts.
The situation is almost the same as
that reported yesterday, Practically
nothing has been accomplished toward
the recovery of the men. There is
scarcely an old miner about the opening
of the mine who does not believe that
the men are all dead. The men who
are working are in constant danger of
losing their lives. 1t is almost certain
that the victims, if not killed by the
fall, would have died from the bad air

New YORK, July 1.-The Ohio sink
ing fund commission. composed of S.
M. Taylor, secretary of state +. S.
Monnett, attorney general, and w. d.
Guildert, auditor, are not meeting with
the success they anticipated in the sale
of state bonds. The commissioners are
here for the purpose of paying $3.50, 900
of the state debt, now due, and of float
ing an additional $3.50, 900 at 3 per cent.
They have canvassed the market quite
thoroughly, but thus far have succeeded
in getting an advance of only 81, 900 for
the entire amount over the price offered
in Ohio, and out of this must be paid a
handsome brokerage fee. - -
If the deal is not consummated this
will be the first time in history that
Ohio state bonds have not gone at par
or better. The miserable condition of
the market, according to Secretary of
State Taylor, is due to the silver agita-
ton, and the hesitancy on the part of
the capitalists to tie up their funds un-
til the currency question is settled. The
commissioners expect to finish the deal
and return home by Saturday.
