The installation of new delegates
was taken up by the grand presi-

of the representatives took place.
This showed that 140out of the 143
lodges were represented by fully
200 delegates.
After the enrolment the reports
of the various State officers were

with the business affairs of the or
dersin this state. They we're all
lengthy and were referred to COM
mittees for investigation and dis
cussions Grand iffesident Schuetze's
report was very detailed and com
prehensive, requiring over an hour
for its reading. The other reports

THE convention of the sound

week will no doubt cause split in
the democratic ranks in Texas
similar to the Hogg and Clark
factions Of '92. Appearances indi-
cate that the free silver democrats
and the sound money democrats
will each have a candidate for Gov
ernor. 1t is to be hoped that the
differences will be settled or COM
promised in some way before the
November election. A split in the
democratic ranks this year means
defeat in the state election.

The Mint Steal.

P. B. Ellis, Frank Oliver, Ernest
Harris, George Cagwin and George
Mclaughlin testified in the Jones
case Monday. Ellis swore that when
the bullion in the vault was being
weighed he told Meter and Refiner
Harris that he had thief in the de
partment and that Harris replied that
it looked that way. Oliver testified
that on June 81, 1893, the day on
which work went on in the melting
room till six o'clock in the evening,
that nothing but amalgam from the
Potosi mine in Virginia City, and
slums we're melted that day. Cagwin
testified that he was ingot melter un-
der Zabriskie and that Jones did most
OF the work in the Meter and Rein
er's department. In 1893 there was a
shortage, but he understood that it
occurred through an error in the
Superintendent's department. In
1894 difficulty was had in making up
the settlement. Mclaughlin testified
that when the bars are taken from
the mold the helper stamped the num-
Der on them, guided by tag. The
dies from the deposit melting room
fit the figures on the spurious bars.
from the manner in which the spuri-
GUS bars are stamped he would say
that an inexperienced person did the
work. He picked ont the mould in
which the spurious bar was cast and
said bar No. 304 had been cast in the
same mould and that IL wss cast first.
The witness explained by means of
two silver dollars how silver would
tarnish with age. The spurious bar
might have been cast six months be
fore bar No. 304 was cast. On cross.

An American Riot.

An American Riot.
BILBoA, Spain, March 9.-There
was another American riot here to-
day. About 10000 people took part.
The excitement was started by young
men at street corner cheering every
soldier who passed. Their conduct
was initiated by other groups. Some
musicians who refused to repeat the
national anthem were hustled and
beaten. Riotous groups formed i'll
the main street, cheering for Spain
and denouncing the United States.
The authorities did everything posi-
BILE to maintain order. Almost the
entire police force turned out and the
rioters were dispersed again and
again.
Eventually, however, the mob be-
came Sc numerous and excited that
the police were almost helpless.
After the first demonstration of SYM
pathy with the army, the-crowds arm
ed themselves with Sticks and cud-
gels and the police were swept aside.
An immense crowd gathered ON the
leading thoroughfare and marched to
wards the residence of the United
States Consul, shouting: @Long live
Spain! Down with the Yankeesn
On the way to the Consul's resi-
dence they hurled stones through
the windows of stores and private
residences, overturned vehicles, pull
cd several mounted policemen from
their horses, and generally behaved
in most threatening manner.
Stores dealing in American goods re-
ceived the most attention from the
mob. and the windows of the Con-
sul's house we're badly shattered, al
though the police defended the build
ing. The mob proceeded toward the
United States Consulate, evidently
intending to stone that building as
well.
The authorities had taken the pre-
caution to send strong force of pc.
lice to guard the house, however.
Another detachment was stationed
across the streets leading to the Con
sulate. Therefore, when the mob
reared the United States Consulate,
it was confronted by the police, with
drawn swords. The mob halted,
then began pelting the police with
stones and brick. A squad of police
| charged the rioters. The latter fred
pistols at the policemen, two of whom
were wounded. This caused the 20.
lice to charge in body, using their
swords with good effect,
The rioters we're dispersed. yelling
and hooting the authorities, and
shouting @Down with the Yankees, j."
and @Long live Spain" The police,
who made number of arrests, ex-
perienced considerable difficulty in
escorting their prisoners to the de.
pot. During the afternoon there was
more or less disturbance. 1t was de.
cided to keep both the police and the
| gendarmes confined to the barracks
until further orders, rs there seemed
to be danger of outbreaks.
