1T IS ASTONISHING
The Remarkable Growth of Silver
Sentiment in the East.
GEN. WARNER is SURPRISED
Business Men Are Feeling the Con-
tinued Agitation of the Oues-
tion - Democratic Primaries
In Virginia Are All light.

Chicago, May 22.-Gen. A. K. Warner.
president of the American Bimetallic
union, and one of the original free sill
Yer men. came to Chicago yesterday to
consult with the local Is to l men in
regard to the meeting of the executive
committee of the American BimetaIlic
union. Since his recent visit to this
city General Warner has changed his
views in regard to the money plank
which will be adopted by the demo-
cratic national convention. short
time ago he believed that both the re-
publican and democratic conventions
would be controlled by the gold stand
ard men. But he thinks otherwise
now.
In reply to the question: do you
think the silver sentiment will control
the national democratic convention"
he said: up to within a month, this
time, l did not believe 1t would, for
thought the administration influence
in the end would control the conven-
tion."
General Warner further said: The
growth of the silver sentiment, or
rather. it's manifestation at the demo-
cratic primaries in the selection of dele
gates. has been astonishing, even to
the silver men like myself, and now IL
seems almost certain that the senti-
ment VIII grow until the convention
meets in Chicago in July. / believe that
the silver sentiment will control the
convention and the democrats will
adopt a silver platform and combine
with free coinage candidates"
IF the democrats adopt an out-and-
out free silver plank what will the sill
YER men do at their convention in St.
LOUISE"
IF the democratic national conven-
tion adopts a straight out-and-out BIZ
metallic platform and nominates safe
candidates on such a platform. there
will be no course open TO the silver
men but to join on that platform and
to vote for such candidates. Then
there will be no excuse for another sill
Yer party. United and conquer is our
watchword. Division means defeat"
''Who would you consider safe can
didates' to be nominated by the demo-
Gratis on a silver PLATFORM"
"Ex-Governor Boies of Iowa would
make a safe candidate. With Senator
Blackburn OF Kentucky, Senator Nor
gan of Alabama, or. perhaps better to
suit the peoples party. Judge Caldwell
of st. Louis. on the other end of the
ticket, II would make a very strong
one"

VERY BITTER ATTACK
The Conference Report on the River
and HarbOr Bill, the Subject.
HEPBURN'S FERVlD SPEECH
He Says the Measure Passed BY a
Brutal Majority. Without a
Section Ever having Been
Read But IL Carries.

Washington. May 22.-The Phillips
labor commission bill, which was to
nave come 20 a vote in the house to-
DAY under the special order was COM
pletely crowded out by the conference
report on the river and harbor sundy
civil bills. The bill will now go over
until next week. The conference report
on the river and harbor bill. which re-
ported an agreement on all the items
save that relating to the Santa Mo-
MICA and San Pedro harbors, Califor-
MA, was made the basis of a very bitter
attack on the bill by Hepburn, repub-
Hcan, Iowa, and Dockery, democrat
Missouri. The latter said he opposed
this measure because 1t contained riot
Gus appropriations not warranted by the
condition of the treasury. He said he
realized that his remarks would not be
punctuated with applause. I'VE are all
IN on It,, he added sarcastically amid
laughter.
Dockery's remarks about the ''im-
poverished treasury and his appeals
to the people were received with deri-
sive teers by republicans. At the con-
clusion of his time, Hooker offered to
yield him 15 minutes more IL he would
point out single item in the bill that
was not justified by the engineers re-
ports. U ID applause.)
ne SndilenBe Drought HEPBURN, re-
publican, Iowa, to his feet with a
scathing speech against the bill. This
Dill. said he, had been passed by a bru-
tai majority without debate and he
made the assertion that not a section
OF the bill had ever been read in the
house. Not in the history of the coun-
try had been known such viIlainous
legislation. Seventy-five millions car
ried in a bill, not a paragraph of which
was ever read for consideration.
"Shame upon such false pretense Why
did you force the bill through in 40
minutes, IL you were not too cowardly
TO face Investigations" Hepburn, con-
tinuing. sharply criticised the work of
the Mississippi river commission.
Hooker's motion to adopt the confer
ence report was agreed to. 1886. The
speaker reappointed Messrs. Hooker,
Herman and Catching, confreres

port on the sundry civil appropriation

leader, moved to adjourn debate,
claiming the house was not In a fit con-
dition to continue the discussion. The

Balfour said the government proposed
to continue the sitting until the bill
should be completed
Repeated closures followed and at

court, liberal leader. again tried to ad-

Eokels and the silver Issue.

Chicago. May PA special to the
Tribune from Washington. D. c.. says:
There Is no question that the financial
question Is the paramount issue to the
exclusion of the tariff" said Comp
troller Eckels, "and this will be demon
strated more and more as the ensuing
campaign progresses. Party lines will
not be drawn so closely as people
imagine and there will be a great many
surprises before the contest for the
presidency Is ended. Business men are
feeling the continued agitation OF the
silver question. The caucuses held
thus far indicate that the silver men in
Illinois virtually control affairs in that
state. 1t remains to be seen what
Cook county will do I'm this emergency.
and there Is a possibility IL the sound
money men win the fight there. they
may be able to stem the current in
Illinois which Is apparently settling so
strongly In the direction of the free
coinage of silver. Gentlemen with
whom / talked while in Chicago were
inclined TO take the same view regard
ing the situation that / do. and they
were looking forward eagerly TO the
proceedings of the democratic state
convention a month hence"

Comes to a Sudden Close.
Saratoga, N. Y, May 22.-The Pres
byterian general assembly broke up at
o'clock this afternoon in confusion in
the midst of the vote on the resolutions
OF the special committee on relations
of Young Peoples societies to the
church. Resolutions had been adopted
that a statement of relations be sent
to the separate societies to be read by
them and reaffirming the action of the
assembly of 1893 The former recon-
mendation was reached only after a
long discussion and under the opera
ton OF the previous question. Just at
the hour of adjournment a motion was
made to strike out the other recon-
mendations of the committee and to
discharge It, Action on this motion
was only prevented by the abrupt an
nouncement of the vice moderator, Dr.
Benjamin l.. Agnew of Philadelphia,
that the hour OF the session had ex-
pired and the assembly stood ad-
journed.
One recommendation of the COM
mittee was entirely eliminated after
an animated discussion and after a di-
vision. 1t related to the formation of
Presbyterian unions of Young Peoples
societies in all presbyteries. The action
In this direction was due to the belief
that the plan. as proposed. would seri-
ously interfere with present interde-
nomfnational associations and coope-
ration. The business of the day con-
sisted in the reception of the reports of
the special committee appointed in
1895. Some standing committees were
announced by the moderator.
The final report of the morning called
forth a warm discussion. 1t related to
Sabbath observance. and was presented
by Elder William II. Worrell of New
York. The report denounced all work

ual liberty excursions. ball games. bike
riding, lax views of the Sabbath, social
entertainment and the Sunday newspa-
per. Christian people were scored for
their lax observance of Sunday. The
resolutions which were adopted reaf-

petual binding obligation of the Sab

sion was delivered on invitation of the
