NEW HAVEN MORNING FRIpAY

all the contesting silver delegates and and thereby Insure a thirds ma jority.
 There are three. elements of the situa- tion out of which the gold men are able to find some basis of hope One is that the silver majority is large and un- wieldy and Is sub divided on sectional lines. Altgeld has been able to hold his own so far but with the coming of all the delegates it will become more difficult for any one man, or even a combination of leaders, to hold the forces well in line. Another is the sec | tional division of the silver men. Those from the west are extremeists in every thing, and many of them are outspok- en in favor of the nomination of Sen ator Teller for president
 But the silver men from the south and middle states who call themselves democrats are opposed to the selection of a lifelong republican. They will not vote for Teller. This makes it doubtful about getting the silver men united on candidate unless they can be whipped into line by caucus. With the coming of more delegates a rebel | ion against Altgeld and his methods is |
 hoped for.
 TILLMAN'S RANT.
 Senator Ben Tillman of South Caro- l lima, speaking of the plans of silver men to-day, said: "We are going to teach these Wall street moss backs a lesson. We are in the majority in this convention and we mean to control it. | We will have no eastern mugwump coming out here telling us what to do. I have been a political orphan for sev- eral years, but now that the democrat ic party is getting back to democratic principles I am a democrat again. l don't feel near as lonesome as I did, l Free coinage is the true democratic doctrine, and we are going to have it l in this convention or bust. We will have free coinage in this platform, and we will nominate candidate whose record on the question is platform in itself I don't think we will hear much about the tariff. I suppose we must have more revenue to keep the govern ment going, but we won't say much about the tariff in the platform. We are going to control this convention l from start to finish in spite of all the plots of the gold bugs. Why shouldn't we do it, I'd like to know? If they were in the majority, they'd walk all over us. We have had the buzzard and they have. had the turkey long enough Now we have the votes and we are going to have the turkey; every bit of it."

CREMATED IN THElR CAGES.
Dogs, Birds and Rabbits Burned Alive

Dogs, Birds and Rabbits Burned Alive. New York, July 2.-Many birds, rab-
 bits, pigeons parrots, dogs, pigs and
 chickens were burned to death or suffo- cated early this morning by fire which occurred in John Bodd's bird ruined man, as he had no insurance on his stock of assorted pets.
 | A man who had lost his entire fam fly could not have exhibited more gen 1 uine grief than the owner of the bird store did as he stood in front of the place after the fire, and gazed sadly at the little bodies that lay in heaps about the floor. An overloaded stove 1 caused the fire.
 | As the flames swept about them the
 barking of dogs, cries of parrots and
 squeals of guinea pigs sounded from
 within the store, but those outside who
 heard them were helpless to save the
 creatures from death.
 1 When the fire was burned out so that | the firemen could get into the store, l they found the birds and animals in 1 every nook and corner. An examina- | ton showed that some of them had
 been suffcocated and then partly sing 1 ed by the fire. Others had been burned l to crisp.
 None escaped death except the few l that the firemen were fortunate enough
 to rescue. Some of the cages had been 1 burned away from their ceiling fasten- 1 ings and lay around the floor, and each | held at least one dead bird.
 The long row of pens nailed against
 the wall for pigeons had plenty of dead | occupants. In different parts of the l store were found dead parrots, rabbits dogs chickens and guinea pigs. Bodd
 valued his collection at S1,000. He had
 kept the store for a long time, and
 made good liyY sut of it.
