900. 900. five per cent, ten year bonds Of
the same issue, which were sold in
November, 1894, went for 117.077, or on

5,400 four per cent. thirty year bonds

FOX "COLONELS" AND "NIAJORS.-
Chief Moore Dcprecates the Use os
CneRrned Military Titlcs

Prof Willis L. Moore chief of the weather
bureau, has Issued a circular to officials Of
the bureau, in which he says:
''Offfcials of the weather bureau have been
frequently referred to by the public press.
In connection with their duties by military
titles, as captain. major colonel. etc
whether these titles have been earned or
not, and apparently with their consent.
This practice Is manifestly wrong. The
weather bureau is no longer In any sense
a part of the military establishment. but a
part of the Department of Agriculture: its
functions are all of civic and not q MILL
tary character: and the efforts of all those
connected with 1t should be directed to the
maintenance OF its autonomy and dignity.
No objection 10 the wearing of these titles
by persons who have earned ,hern can he
made, but it is submitted to such. even.
whether the titles by which they are known
In the bureau. as observer, local forecast
Oihc1ai, professor. etc. are rot unite as
honorable. or capable of being made so. as
any that have been won in any other branch
of the public service. But the assumption or
the wearing of such titles on the part of
those who have never performed eny mill
tary service whatever is In bad taste and is
paipable injury to these " no have gained
ana possess them by years of laborious
and valiant service The chief Of the
bureau Is of the opinion therefore that
the interests of the weather bureau would
be better subserved and promoted by effort
ON the part of it's officials to dignity their
several positions by their own 1i1Iss and
by discouraSlng and depreea;ins the usa Of

SILVER PARTY HEADQU ARTERS.
Now Established at the WOrmley
Building by Chairman Stevens.

The headquarters of the silver party were
moved from the Corcoran building to the
Wcrmley building today. Five rooms have
been secured at the Wormley, four Of
them on the 18th street side Of the build
ing. Carpets were put in today and new
furniture supplied.
Chairman Stevens and his force, which
he says will be largely increased, are busy
at work. Mr.. Stevens gives promise of
being a good party manager. He dis
patches business with dexterity and ease.
Today he gave out the following formal
statement:
George P. Keeney, the national Or
ganizer of the silver party since it's orr
gin, and member of its executive commit
tee. has been appointed by the silver party
national president Of the various non
partisan silver and bimetallic clubs of the
United States. MIR. keeney has called a
national convention of such clubs to meet
at Chicago September %. All Of the old
bimetallic unions, Dtmetaliic leagues, Bry-
an-Sewall silver clubs national silver clubs,
silver clubs and patriots of America are
invited to attend and participate The rep
resentation will be three delegates-at-large
from each club of twenty or more, and one
additional delegate for every fifty members
the club rolls.
1.-The purpose Is to unity all non-partisan
silver organizations under a common plan
for effective work during the coming cam
paign- Every non-perttsan silver club in
the country can become a part Of the or
ganization of National Silver Clubs, by
sending for charter to the headquarters,
in the Wormley building, Washington. D.
c. The declaration of principles is the plat
form adopted by the national silver party
at st. Louis, July 30. The plan of organi-
zation contemplates the appointment by
the president of a state secretary in each
state, who shall have supervision of tbs
district organizers to he appointed for each
congressional district
Mr.. Stevens is strongly convinced that
the organiZatio ton of clubs will be one of the
most effective ways of fighting in the cam
paisn. Particular attention Will be paid
as has been stated, to the non- partisan
feature OF the club business. The idea Is
that there are thousands OF silver republic
cans who would not join democratic club
VINO Will join non-partisan club.

OHIO GOLD DEMOCRATS.
The Cities Will Send Large Delexn-
nOns to the State Convention

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star
COLUMBUS, Ohio, August aO.-Ex-Con-
gresham Jos. H. Outhwaite, who is the
leader In this state of the sound money
democrats, is still in the east and will not
return until the state convention of sound
money democrats, which will be held here
August %. His law partner, T. p Linn
who IS also prominently identified with the
movement, and is in charge of the state
headquarters OF the new organization said
tCday that from correspondence received
ttat the mass convention promised to be
remarkable on account of the numbers at
tending it, as well as its personnel Cincin-
natl. Cleveland, Toledo and DAYTON will
send large delegations, including many of
the prominent old-line democrats The
smaller towns are also forming large sound
money organizations. The small town of
Defrance has now an orgeniza ton of I29
sound money democrats, who will refuse to
vote for Bryan. The organizers find that
about half of those who say they will re-
fuse to support the Chicago platform at
the polls refuse to openly ally themselves
with the new movement. Upon this basis
trey estimate that there will be about 80 :
GOO democrats In Ohio who will not vote for
Bryan.
Probably a little less than half of this
number Will vote for Mckinley. The inten-
ton is to hold the convention In the Hie h
Street Theater, but arrangements are NOT
yet fully made.

determine the cause of the recent accident

rived here today with a copy of the pro-

ing Secretary McAdoo. The papers will be
reviewed by the acting judge advocate gen.
eral of tine navy and will probably be acted
on by Mr.. McAdoo tomorrow The resul,
of the inquiry will not be known until tha
time There is an impression, however
that the department may find it necessary
to take further action in the matter, and
court-martial is said to be probable in
the case of the officers said to have been
negligent in the care Of the caisson.
