CHINESE WAR.
Five Japs Off for London to Collect the
 Indemnity.

CHICAGO, July 22.-Five diminu tive, dark-skinned Japanese are at the Auditorium, almost unobserved in the crowd of comparatively gigantic Amer jeans. Although they came without flourish, the diminutive visitors have it in their power to disturb the exchange rate of the world, for they are on their way to London to collect the Chinese war indemnity, amounting to more than $150,000,000. The party includes Sonoda Kokiohi, president of the Yo- kohama specie bank. '"The money we are to handle,'' said President Sonoda Kokichi, lis to be delivered to us in London. The amount is $150,0 900, with added interest. OneIhalf of this sum has been paid over to the Bank of Japan in London and the remainder is to be paid when we arrive. The Bank of Japan is to receive the money for the government. It will then be handed over to me as representative of the Yokohama specie bank. In ad- dition to the indemnity our govern ment also gets 30,0OO,O00 taels, about $6,000,000, for the cession of the Liao Tung peninsula, and 5O,O00 taels yearly | while troops are stationed at Wei-Hai- | Vel

HIS MIND GONE.
Did Not Know His Name and Among
 Strangers.

PHILADELPHIA, July 22. The identity of the young man at the Phila- delphia hospital, who on the night of March 6 gave himself up to the police and said he did not know his name, or where he came from, has at last been disclosed. He proves to be Herbert c. Spencer, the youngest son of Sol- omon c. Spencer, a wealthy citizen of Lawrence, Kansas. The discovery was made last evening by Dr. Robin son of Lawrence, Kansas, an old friend of Spencer.
 Young Spencer went to New Orleans two years ago and up to January 19 last corresponded regularly with his relatives. Since then they have heard nothing from him except that he had been in Washington in February. It is expected one of his four brothers will be here in a few days to take him home.

SOME OPPOSITION.
Chicago and Missouri Telegraph Debs
 to Come at Once.

ST. LOUIS, July 22-Some import ance attaches to the meeting of the Missouri delegation. Some of the members are against endorsing or nominating Bryan. J. Willer Long was selected for resolutions commit tee. He announced himself as straight middle of the road" man in favor of the Omaha platform supplemented by the initiative and referendum and di- rect legislation.
 MT. Longs chief contestant was rather moderate, saying he thought the Omaha platform must stand and the initiative and referendum must go. A committee of three was select ed to meet with similar middle of the road" committees from other states.
 Today Victor L. Berger, delegate from Wisconsin, wires E.. V. Debs as follows: You will not fail to do your duty when this country requires your services. Middle of the road' peo- pie want to nominate you for presi- dent. Come at once." The reply fol | lowing was received: "Victor L. Ber- ger-Shall try my pest to join you to. morrow. E. V. DEBS."
 Henry D. Lloyd of Chicago also wired Debs, earnestly urging him tc come.

He cautioned the prisoners against making a disturbance and called on Hiram Mcknight, the celebrated con- vict lawyer, for a speech. Mcknight made a. masterly argument and then a collection was taken to enable one of the prisoners ito make a test case. Sev- eral hundred dollars were raised and more money is promised in a few days.
 Jason Case, one of the inmates of the prison, became excited and offered to give a barrel of money which he said he had planted. An executive committee was appointed and Warden Coffin granted permission for another meeting to perfect arrangements for the proposed test case.

to secure quiet, said: 'fWhen the gods wish to destroy they first make mad. Every time you interrupt me endan- gers yourselves. This convention has not been crushed by either party, and is not to be stamped out" Butler e amid tremendous applause.
 eeches were made up until the recess was taken, the convention to be called to order again at 8 o'clock p. m
 At 8 o'clock there was total darkness in the hall. A heavy rainstorm was prevailing and the delegates sat in the dark. The band kept on playing and the delegates joined together in songs.
 At 8:52 p. m. the convention ad- journed until 10 a. m. this morning.

M'KINLEY COMING.
The Managers Want Him to Speak
 in the West.

CLEVELAND, July 22.-Before the adjournment of the Republican execu- tive committee yesterday the follow ing were agreed upon as members of the advisory committee: General Russell A. Alger, of Michigan; S. w. Allerton, of Illinois; H. Clay Evans, Tennessee; Senator Shoup, Idaho; Sen ator Redfield Proctor, Vermont; Gov ernor Merriam, Minnesota; ex-Gov- ernor Long, Florida; Thomas Dolan, Pennsylvania; William H. Plunkett, Massachusetts. After the meeting it was stated no action had been taken relative to the appointment of the ninth member of the executive com mittee.
 It is. reported the committee will while at Canton make every possible effort to induce MT Mckinley to make a trip through the west or at least de- liver some speeches in that section of country. Some of the western men are strongly in favor of having the campaign opened in Omaha or Lincoln Nebraska.

JUST MET HER.
Could Wash, Iron and Cookie Mar
 ried Her.

SHELBYVILLE, Ky, July 22.-A marriage of prominent people under very romantic circumstances occurred here this afternoon, the contracting parties being Miss Evelyn Thompson, of Louisville, niece of Postmaster Weaver of that place, and employed as clerk in the money department of the Louisville postoffice, and MT. George Nicholas, Jr., a prominent young at torney of this place, and late Repub- Hcan candidate for the legislature.
 The young lady had been here sev- eral days on a visit. She was very popular and had numerous ardent ad- mirers, who in their zeal overlooked the young attorney, who only casually met her two days ago and won the prize. MT. Nicholas took the young lady out driving with him this after noon and remarked to her that he would marry any woman who would agree to wash, iron and cook for him She gamely responded that she stood ready to comply if he was in earnest about the matter. On their return they stopped at the residence of Dep uty County Clerk John Todd, who hap pened to be at home, and stated they desired to be married.
 That official came to town for the marriage license, sent next door fol Rev. Dewitt Forward, the Baptist min. ister, and the happy couple were speed fly made one. They left on the evenins train for Louisville.

THE SILVER CONVENTION Running as Smooth as
 Goose Grease. They Will Confer with the
 PopulistS.
The Chicago Silver Plank Will Be Adopted-Bryan Endorsed and
 the Conve nrion Adjourn.

ST. LOUIS, July 32.-The silver con- vention was called to order at 12:3O o'clock and Francis J. Newlands was introduced as temporary chairman. The galleries were almost vacant, but he was vigorously applauded and re- ceived.
 After Newlands' speech the roll of states was called to ascertain the names of the delegates appointed to the committee on resolutions, perma- nent organization and vice-presidents of the convention. Telegrams were read from Teller and Sibley. Teller said a vote for Bryan and 4Sewall was a vote for industrial and financial in- dependence. Sibley hoped there would be only one ticket. The convention took a recess to 4:30 p. m.
 At 4:55 p. m. the convention was again called to order, and a motion to admit the Populists to the hall with out tickets was carried.
 Committee on rules and committed on credentials reported and reports adopted.
 The committee on permanent orga- nization reported the name of w. P St. John, the ex-banker of New York for permanent chairman, and the name was received with wild applause He was escorted to the chair and great enthusiasm was manifested.
 The address of MT. St. John was ire quently interrupted by cheering.
 There was considerable discussion and excitement over a motion to ap point a committee to confer with Pop ulists. Several substitutions ant amendments were offered during grea confusion.
 The motion was carried and a com mittee appointed consisting of on member from each delegation named | as the roll of states was called.
 Convention then adjourned until 1, l a. m.
 It is believed that the silver planl of the Chicago platform will be adopt ed, Bryan and Sewall will be endorse, and then final adjournment ordered.

WISCONSIN SHRINE.
Thousands of Catholics Report to It
 for Relief.

HARTFORD, Wis, July 22-The immense number of Catholic pilgrims who have visited Holy Hill this week leads to the belief that ere long this out-of-the-way place will rival the fa- nous shriners of Europe as an attrac- tion to those who seek alleviation of their bodily and spiritual ailments It is estimated that fully 2,000 pilgrims have visited the place during the last two days, a majority having come from various points in Illinois, though Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota were also largely repre- scented, both by priests and laymen. The most of the visitors took their de- parture last night, but large mum Der of sick persons still finger to worship the holy place. The history of this
 shrine, which promises to become to
 American Catholics what Lourdes is to Europe, is largely traditional and dates to the time of Father Marquette. 1 It was not, however, until some thirty years ago that curative qualities were | ascribed to the place by a recluse who lived there in a hut for seven years.
 Many cures of cancer and rheumatism : are reported as a result of the present pilgrimage.
