The Bismarck letter has made an i'm
preston at headquarters, but there is a
dlslnclination on the part OF the commit
teemen to discuss it from the Republican
point of view. Chairman Payne's opinion
is that if the German ex-Chancellor has
any interest in the election of Bryan it is
based On the tariff and not on the currency
question. Mr.. Payne supports this opin-
ion by the statement that the Democratic
tariff legislation repealed the sugar bounty,
which placed Germany at a disadvantage
of cents pound and destroyed the in
dustry in low-grade knit wooden goods,
which Germany has a monopoly of in
trade with this country. In all the inter-
national monetary conferences, Mr.. Payne

CLAIMS OF AGENT P1NNEY.
Plant ifs Wanted to Take All the
Stock, Which Was Valued at
$500, 900.

BOSTON, MASS, Sept 23.-The action
brought by Charles w. Norton of this city
against William A. Melville, William H.
Martin and John Ballard of San Francisco,
to recover $3.50, 900 damages. was heard in
the equity session of the Superior Court
to-day By Judge Dunbar on a demurrer
tiff's declaration.
The suit is brought because of the re-
fusal of defendants. who were tine original
owners of what now constitutes the Raw
hide Golu Mining Company's property, in
Tuolumne County, California, to perform
a contract which the plaintiff alleges he
made with them NJ arch %, 1896, through
their agent. George NJ. Pinney, to buy the
full company stock of the gold mining
company, 100000 for 81, 500, 900, at the rate
of SIS share.
The plaintiffs agreement to purchase
the stock, it is set forth, was made with
Pinney in his name. Under this agree
ment the plaintiff was given the right to
take the entire stock at the rate of SIS a
share, or $1.500,000 for all the shares, by
paying the latter sum into the National
Bank of the Republic IN this city, where
the certificates of stock were to be depos-
tied in pursuance of a contract which the
defendants made with Pinney.
The Rawhide Gold Mining Company is
a West Virginia corporation. The de-
PENDANTS, as the owners of the property,
made an agreement with Pinney on Sep
tember %, 1895, and a supplemental
agreement on September 80, 1895,
under which he was to act in
the relation of promoter to sell the
stock. He was to dispose of it for not less
than minimum price, which was to be
fixed by the defendants, and for cash.
His contract reta ined him in this relation
to them for year after it was made.
The defendants deposited certificates for
100, 900 shares in the National Bank of the
Republic for Pinney to sell and fixed the
minimum price at which he was to sell
them at SIS share. He was to receive a
commission of per cent. On March %,
1885, he made the contract for the breach
of which the plaintiff sues, the defendants
having repudiated this contract on April
l, 1896.
The defendants demurrer was argued
by the council, Mr.. Solomon. Messrs.
CASTOR & Snow appeared for the plaint-
iff. The defendants contend that the
declaration does not make it appear that
Pinney was their agent to make the kind
OF agreement which the plaintiff relies
upon.
They say it appears from their contract
with Pinney, which the plaintiff sets out,
that Pinney was authorized TO sell the
stock only for cash. They further say
that the contract between Plnney and the
plaintiff does not purport to be made by
Pinney for them. They say also that the
declarations make it appear that the
plaintiff Is able to perform his part of the
contract; that nc tenders of money or
stock were made by the plaintiff.

There is strong reason to believe, the

John Lowles, a member of the House of

Daily News in which he asserts that the
remarks made by him at the meeting held
in Shoreditch on the evening OF the 21st
inst, to protest against the massacre OF
Christians by Turks, were incorrectly re-
ported.
Lowles declares that he did not state
that he was authorized by the Foreign
Office to say that Great Britain was con-
fronted by an arrangement between the
three powers; that if she attacked Turkey
upon any excuse or pretext, she would
have 10 face that combination; and that
if she fired single shot or took action
alone it would mean that at that moment
there would be European war.

asked what effect the political contest was
having on the progress OF the church and
said:
"The interests of the church are almost

church if Mckinley shonld be elected. AS
to the present campaign, L think the plat

very unwise. The assault upon Pr sident
Cleveland for that act of his administra-
tion which showed him to be a patriot
namely, the using of United States troops
to put down the rebellion in Chicago, is
unpatriotic in the extreme. The Gov
ernor of Illinois refused the State troops
for that purpose and the Mayor OF Chi

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept 23.-A re-
port was received at the Treasury Depart
ment to-day from Captain c. L. Hooper,
in command of the Bering Sea feet, date

The Perry has been singularly unfortunate
this season. In addition to her machinery

the accidental death of seaman c. C. Moul-
throp, who fell from the main truck to the
quarter deck of the Perry. on July 16, and was
instantly killed. Moulthrop was the man who
jumped overheard from the Perry at the risk
of his life and saved the lives OF three OF his
shipmates, in the early spring.
The cause OF the accident was possible heart
trouble, brought on By the eXertion of clirn b.
ing up to the main truck. Dr. KieruIff in
formed me that the man was subject to slight
attacks OF loss of muscular power after over
native OF Massachusetts, Captain Smith will
communicate with his friends or relatives If
the address OF any such can be found among
his effects. He was buried at Unalaska, on
July II, with military honors.
The death of this native is the subject of
deep regret in the feet. An effort is being
made TO raise money for marole monument
to his memory.
A later report, dated Unalaska, August
q, was also received from Captain Hooper
to-day, in which he saws:
forward by the Homer a report OF the seiz-
ure of the American schooner Jane Gray and
the British schooner Viva. The former goes
TO San Francisco and the latter has been or
dered to proceed to Victoria by the British
naval officer to whom she was turned over. I
send the Jane Gray to San Francisco because
1t is her home port, and because it is more
convenient for our witnesses than Puget
Sound or Alaska. She has been seized so many
times that she seems to have acquired the
habit. l sent report by the mail steamer up
to the Goth, and, with the exception of the
seizures, there is nothing new to report. The

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 23.-The meet
ing in this city tonight under the auspices
of the gold Democrats, and at which Gen
eral Buckner, Colonel John r. Fellows of
New York and Governor OF Hrrall were
announced to speak, was a success In
point of numbers. The Academy of Mu-

Colonel Fellows did not reach the CITY,
but General Buckner arrived this after
noon.
Governor O'Ferral presided over the
meeting. The Governors address was an
important event of the evening, as he had
but recently given his adherence to the
Palmer Buckner ticket. He said he was
a Dem ocrat and that he had never cast
his ballot for a man who was not Demo-
crat. But he found now that his party
had fallen upon evil times and its accred-
tied representatives had forsaken the
true faith.
The Governor repudiated the charge of
being bolter. When delegates sent TO a
convention made platform not Demo-
cratic there was no rule, he said.
TO require a Democrat to vote for that
platform. Suppose that he were techni-
cally bolter of the party, the Chicag o
convention had done worse, for 1t had
bolted Democratic principles. The Cover
nor then introduced General Buckner in
high terms of eulogy. General Buckner

from Senator Sherman. emanating from

mittee, defending the position his party
took in the so-called "Crime of 49," Mr..
Sherman declares:
"I have never been able to see what
motive could have existed for secrecy in
this matter. There was no indication
whatever of the fall of silver and no one
could foresee that it was destined to rap
idly decline in price. No one asked to
have the dollar coined and no one was op-
posed to its Giscontinuance.
ITO prove that there was no secrecy and
not leave the matter to argument or in
terence, copies of the bill were sent to ex-
perts all over the country asking their
opinion, and answers were received and
laid before Congress in printed form, in
which the discontinuance of the silver
dollar was thoroughly discussed. The
bill was printed thirteen times and extra
copies were printed for distribution. 1t
was conned over, amended and debated
almost as copiously as any measure ever
considered in Congress, and no man in
either house proposed to retain the old
silver dollar. The fact that it was omit

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 23.-Sen-
ator Jones, chairman of the National Com
mittee, and Senator Faulkner, chairman
of the Democratic Congressional Commit
tee, called on Representative Benton Nc
Millin of Tennessee about month ago to
compile the material for the Democratic
campaign book of 1896. He accepted the
task and has just finished the work. The
book begins with the admonition of Jeffer-
son in his first inaugural address, to bow
to the will of the majority. 1t gives the
platform recommended by the committee
on resolutions of the Chicago convention,
the speech of Mr.. Bryan and the notIfca-
ton speeches and letter OF acceptance. In
the first chapter it lays down the funda-
mental principles OF the Democratic party,
as expounded by Thomas Jefferson, Will
liam Allen of Ohio, Governor Seymour of
New York and William Jennings Bryan.
1t devotes a hundred pages to the silver
question and the "crime of 1873"
Another chapter takes up Governor Nc
killey's public record on the subject of
silver, Chinese immigration, the force bill
and his tariff law. Jefferson, Monroe and
Cleveland are quoted on the Monroe doc
trine. A chapter on the income tax gives
Bryan's speech in the House on that sub
ject, the report of the committee, Mr.
Wicke's speech, the dissenting opinions of
the chairman and Senator Vests review
of the whole subject
The book produces in full Mr. Bryan's
Labor day speech at Chicago. The volume
makes about $50 pages.
