ISSUE is CLEARLY DEFINED
SILVER REPUBLICAN, SENATOR'S
HOLD STAR CHAMBER SESSION.

1t Was an Important Conferences on the
Vote Recently Taken on the Silver Qucs-
ton and Representative Manufacturers
Free Coinage is Urged as the Best.
Washington, March 19.-An impor-
tant conference behind closed doors
was held tonight between the silver
republican senators who voted against
the considering the new tariff or reve-
nue. bill and twenty-seven representa-
tive manufacturers of Philadelphia who
favor the linking together of protection
and bimetallism. Senators Dubois,
Mantle, Cannon and Jones of Nevada
were present, as were congressman
Harman Of Montana, Allen of Utah and
Wilson of Idaho. Senator Dubois act
ed as chairman.
Remarks We're made by Mr.. Teller,
Mr.. JONES' Mr.. Carter. Mr. Cannon and
Mr.. Mantle. Mr.. Dolan Of the Manu-
facturers' club expressed the opinion
that tariff duties could not be made
high enough to protect our manufact-
urers if our country remained on gold
basis. James Dobson, the great carpet
manufacturer, came out unqualifiedly
for free coinage by international agree
ment, if possible: otherwise by inde-
pendent action.
He believed free coinage was the
quickest was to permanent relief from
the ills from which the country is now
suffering. Richard Champion, manu-
facturer of yarns, declared himself in
favor Of the restoration of silver, but
that the cause of bimetallism was not
advanced by the defeat Of the revenue
measures. Several opinions were ex-
pressed of the regret Of the loss Of the
Dingley measure, but no opinion antag-
onistic to the restoration of silver was
uttered. The senators present made it
PLAIN that no protective tariff legisla-
ton would be considered either at this
session OF congress or the next without
| the rehabilitation Of silver. Some Of
the manufacturers endorsed this posi-
| tion.
The issue was clearly defined, but no
lattenmpt to organize was made Charles
Heber Clark invited the senators to a
meeting to be held soon in Philadelphia.
Many strong letters in harmony with
the purposes of the meeting were re-
ceived from manufacturers throughout
the country.

DIR. GoRDoN,s LECTURE

On the Mission of the Prophet, Delivered
eBfore Yale Divinity school-Last One to
be Delivered This Afternoon.
DIR. George A. Gordon, pastor of the
Old South church in Boston, delivered
yesterday afternoon before the divinity
school in Marquand chapel the first of
two lectures on 1.-THE Mission of the
Prophet" The chapel was completely
filled with an audience composed most
ly of divinity students. There were also
in the audience several city pastors.
DR.. Gordon said in part: Human ex-
istence may be treated as a work Of
art. Pleasures and pains of a sensuous
order are masters of the animal world,
of our human world. The overwhelm-
ing majority are without any philos-
ophy of life. They five in an extempa-
nervousness which is melancholy
Their existence is to get the greatest
amount of pleasure with the least dis
comfort. This is the animal or infantile
condition. To such a mind the moral
world, the divine universe cannot yield
it's purpose.
'.The second stage has philosophy of
life, but it is earthly. The interpreta-
ton of men and the world in agnostic
circles betokens much thought, but
thought provincial and low in pitch.
1t aims to be content with it's own out
look. Our human universe is at least a
work of art adequately represented by
the philosophy of the Sadducees or
Pharisees. God made the world. The
prophet finds his way to the mind of
God and reports the divine wisdom. In
ascertaining the significance of human
existence we shall look to the men on
whom rests the highest experience, the
prophets of the lord. The base of as
sumption is the self transcendence of
prophetic thought. Under the religious
fault of man is this--the spirit Of man
can go beyond itself and rise to divine
outlook on the universe.
knowledge Is everywhere an organi-
cation, the combining of the many into
the one. There is no education possible
in isolation from the higher minds of
the world. The entire philosophy which
underlies it is the death blow of in
dividualisn. When one comes to the
mind of God he carries the self transit
tion Of knowledge to it's elimination.
When men seek God they are only fol-
lowing the basal assumption of edcca-
ton.
"The prophet is the one to whom hu-
man understanding is paramount. BY
immediate vision the prophet knows
God when he finds Him. 1t is the hope
Of mankind that it may pass beyond
it's ignorance and do the work of the
hour in the fields of time under the
shadow of Gods light and protection.
Unless the soul can go beyond itself
and live in God there can be no re-
ligion. Rational existence begins in
the universal and completes itself in
God. Faith is not a substitute for
knowledge in the true prophet"
Dr. Gordon will deliver the second
and last lecture on the subject this af-
ternoon at o'clock in Marquand
chapel. The public is invited.

Nevada's Chief Executive Reported in
a Precarious Condition.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. S.-Governor
Jchn E. Jones of Nevada is a very sick
man.
He reached this city over two months
ago in search of health and rest, but
the Improvement for which his friends
had hoped has not been accomplished,
and a relapse which he experienced
about two weeks ago has left him in a
critical condition.
His sickness is due to a complication
Of stomach troubles. He came to San
Francisco to be treated. He has been
stopping at the Palace Hotel, where he
is attended by his wife and several of
his most intimate friends, who are in
this city at the present time.
His condition has been kept a secret
in consequence of the prominence of his
position, and in consideration for the
feelings of his anxious wife and the
balance of his family, who are in Ne
vada
The facts in the case, which have
gradually leaked out, were a constant
source of comment to-day among the
friends of the sick man, and the greatest
solicitude was expressed on all sides.
His case is in the hands of Drs.
HirschfeIder and Richter, who are in
frequent attendance upon him, but they
decline most positively to make any
statement as to the condition of the
patient under their care.
Governor Jones was elected to his po-
sition last fall and is regarded through
out the State as one of the most able
executive officers ever furnished by the
State, his popularity is unbounded and
the news Of his present illness will cause
the most general regret.
In consideration for the feelings OF
his anxious wife and family, who are
now in Nevada, Mr.. Jones' true condi-
ton has been kept q secret, but it is
learned tonight that he suffered a Sc
we're relapse to-day, and his present
condition is one of extreme gravity.

WooLLING AND PULLING.
How Lincoln Whipped the Champion
of CIary,S Grove

Denton Cfutt, Lincoln's employer,
was just the A21 to love to boast be-
fore such a crowd. He seemed to think
that L1ncoln's physical prowess shed
glory on himself, and he declared the
country over that his clerk could lift
more, throw farther, run faster. Jump
higher and wrestle better than any
man in Sangamon County The Clary's
Grove boys, of course, felt in honor
bound to prove this false, and they ap-
pointed their best man, one Jack Arm
strong, to throw Abe" Jack Arm
strong was, according to the testimony
OF all who remember him, a powerful
twister, 'square-built and strong as an
OK, the best-made man that ever
lived and everybody knew that the
contest would be close. Lincoln did not
like to 'tussle and scufle, he objected
to "woolling and pulling" but Offlrtt
had gone so far that it was necessary
to yield. The match was held on the
ground near the grocery. Clarv,s
Grove and New Salem turned out gen
orally to witness the bout, and betting
on the result ran high, the community

this, tried foul" Lincoln no sooner

than, furious with indignation, he
caught him by the throat, and, holding
him out at arms length, he "shook him

rushed to his aid, ana for moment it
looked as if Lincoln would be routed by
