rhe silver CONTINGENT.

ST. LOUIS, No, June 1.-THE arrival
of Senators Teller and Mantel has had
the effect of reviving interest in the
programme of the silver men in the ma
tibnal convention. The silver contin-
gent viii be small but compact, ana, IL
is believed, under quite perfect dis
cipline. 1t will be composed principally
of the delegates from the states OF
Colorado, Montana. and Utah, Idaho
and Nevada, and possibly some OF the
territories. The delegations from the
first four states named are headed by
the senators who, by their votes, re-
fused to allow the Dingley tariff Dill to
pass the senate unless coupled with a
provision for the free coinage OF silver.
These delegates will demand a declar-
alton by the convention in favor of the
free coinag under the conditions pre-
vailing prior to 1888, and in case of
failure to secure this. some, if not all
of them are expected TO thereafter
cease to act with the convention. It
has been an open secret Tor several
weeks that this would be their line of
action, but it is not yet known whether
all the delegates from these states Will
participate in this movement. 1t is be-
lieved there will be exceptions, but who
they will be, if any, will not be deter
mined until the time shall come for ac-
ton. They will make their main fight
in the committee on resolutions, but
failing there, as they expect to do, will
probably carry the contest W. the
convention on a minority report, which
1t is supposed will enable them to pre-
/ sent their case to the convention and
the country by speeches from the floor.
They will also possibly issue an address
to the country, explaining their atti-
! tude.
After the conclusion of the Republi-
can convention the silver men will
probably meet to determine upon a. fu-
ture course

an independent Republican silver man

INFLATED q plan whereby the numerous
contests will not be opened again by
the convention or by the committee
on contested seats. It has been the
general opinion up to late this evening
that the long and wearisome task just
finished by the national committee
would be repeated by the committee on
credentials of the convention, and that
a delay of at least couple of days
would ensue, when the defeated con-.
tesitants or contsstees applied for a re-
opening of their cases.
Either the Mckinley managers are
fearful of delay or else they believe
it; is a waste of time and energy to
reopen these cases, for the edict went
forth this evening that the convention
would by resolution either formally
accept as final the report of the ma
-tionaI committee on all contests de-
cided by them, or would instruct the

Reed boomers Arrive.

ST. LOUIS, June 1.-THE Reed boom
was given the first impetus it has had
during the ante-conventionS days. The
arrival of the Maine and Massachusetts
delegations with glittering badges and
waving banners, gave the first real APP
pearance of Reeds candidacy that has
been seen Senator Lodge, of Massachu-
sets, who is to place Reed in nomina
ton, has become the recognized leader
of the Reed forces and since his arrival
has been trying to gather the scattered
Reed forces and retrieve the losses that
have occurred in the past few days.
Mr. Lodge has visited several of the anti
Mckinley leaders, calling upon Mr.. Platt
Mr.. Quay and members of the Iowa dele
cation.
Chairman Littlefeld, of the Maine dele
cation, who will probably second Reed $
nomination, has been actively at work
for the big speaker. He has had the
Reed headquarters formally opened and
tonight the delegation had a meeting in
which steps were taken towards pressing
the candidacy of Reed with all possible
spirit.
The Massachusetts delegation held a
meeting and the count of the delegates
showed Reed was a favorite, and Senator
Lodge announced after the meeting that
there were thirty solid delegates for
Reed.
The delegations from Maine and Massa-
chusetts are not talking OF any second
choice for president, or of a candidate
for vice-president.

ST LOUIS, June 14.-Uproar and con-
fusion prevailed ON down town streets at
midnight tonight.
Bands of every variety paraded the
streets, followed by shouting enthusiastic
clubs from almost every state in the
Union.
They played every sort of tune or tried
to do so, from white Wings to classical
selections from the operas.
They marched and countermarched
from hotel to hotel.
They paradeoi through the corridors and
around the offices of the local news
papers.
There were scores and scores of them,
and it is doubtful if the oldest inhabitant
of this ancient city ever before saw such
a furore on a Sunday night
1t began in a. mild way at dawn, and
hour Ny hour continued at the rate of
geometr1cal progression, until midnight,

on a "full head of steam"
They sang wildly and enthusiastically
the peculiar hymns of their religion; they
stopped at the street crossings and in
front of the hotels and eXhorted sinners,
great and small, to mend their ways and
fee from the wrath to come.
Mingled with the songs of the Saliva
tionists could be heard campaign songs
setting forth the virtues of the Republic
can party or lauding some favorite son
aspiring to presidential honors.
And the saloonS-hundreds OF them
were open all day and night, and they
were literally patronized and scores of
visitors became doubly enthAiaSt. and
demonstrative. But with all the wild hur-
rah and confusion there was no lawless-
ness or disorder of a serious character.
The local police had little more to do
in the discharge Of their duty than they
ordinarily have had in days gone by ON
a Sunday night.

ST. LOUIS. June 14-Although it
took from dawn until midnight for
the uproar Of Republican enthusiasm
TO rec oh a climax. it required scarcely
two hours for the excitement to sub
side. 1t collapsed like a pricked bal
loon and by o'clock the town had
resumed its normal state, save that
the cabbies were buster. So, too, were
the all-night saloons and resta urants.
in these were congregated the visitors
who had come here for a time" Here
and there through the down town
streets were groups of roistering
pleasure seekers and politicians Keeling
TO their hotels. Some Of them were
still possessed with the mild melodious
craze that prevailed an hour before.
and in maudlin way sang disconnec-
ted snatcbes from popular airs. AS
morning approached they became less
frequent and at length quiet was at

Beet Sugar.

ST. LOUIS, June 14.-California, Ne
braska and Utah will urge the adoption
of declaration in favor of encouraging
the beet sugar industry. National Com
mitteeman M. H. De Young, of California
says he expects this proposition to re-
ceive the support of all the states where
cereals are produced, because the beet
industry will give a crop paying $50 an
acre. where corn and wheat pay only S.
TO SO. Last year California produced
10000, 600 pounds of beet sugar.
The following is draft of the plank to
be proposed:
The practicability of successfully grow
ing sugar leets throughout the United
States having been clearly demonstrated,
we believe the expansion of this industry
will materially add to the wealth of our
farmers and increase the value of our
farming lands. And we therefore favor
such a measure as will increase the pro-
duction of domestic sugar up TO the
limit OF producing all of the So, 100000 now
sent to foreign countries in payment for
this indispensable article
We advocate sufficient protection to de-
velop a natural sugar industry.
We favor adequate protection TO any
new industry which will help our agri-
cultural class. For instance a national

mittee that a, bolt would follow the
seating Of Bliss and Cruger worked
the committee up TO the highest
pitch of excitement. Not on any other
contest was there such bitter feelings
raised in the committee, and although
all the language which might be in the
least distasteful to any member Of the
committee was afterwards withdrawn,
it did not lessen the determined feel
ing of the opposing sides to seat their
respective men. The personal popu-
larity of Mr.. Bliss with the committee
and the belief that he would not claim
a seat in the convention unless he be-
lieved he was entitled to it, induced
membe of the committee who be-
lieved the Platt men to have the best
prirna facie case, TO vote to seat both
delegations with q half vote each. The
Fifteenth district was also badly
mixed and there were members of the
committee who thought both should

ACCEPTANCE OF THE THEORY.
1t took but a few moments to decide
the question of further appeals in the
contests. It was the almost unanimous
theory that no good could come of
such an appeal and that it simply
meant delay for the convention. Chair
man of the New York State Commit
tee Charles W. Hackett, who had
come to the conference, sided in this
decision by stating that he had been
given to understand by persons in au-
thority that a plan had already been
prepared by the Mckinley managers
that would preclude any appeal by
providing that a decision in any con-
test made by the national committee
should be considered final.
Mr.. Lauterback said he had under
stood the same thing Nothing would
be gained by making another fight to
reopen the contest.
Mr.. Sutherland. who had made a
brilliant stand for Mr. Plat in the
national committee, also disparaged an
appeal and so the New York contests
are finally disposed Of
Mr. Plat, asked for his personal
opinion in the matter of the Twelfth
district. said:
'sMessrs. Bliss and Cruger did not

stances. However, we got more than
