KANSAS SILVERITES.
Instruct National Delegates to Vote for
No Candidate for President Who Is
Not for Silver at Ratio Of Is to I.

Topeka, Kas., June 3.-Kansas Demo-
cratic convention today elected dele
cation to the national convention and
bound them to vote for no presidential
candidate who was not unequivocally
for the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to /.
The silver men were so much in the
majority that the free gold delegates
were not even heard, and the proceed
ings were carried on by the silver men
with harmony and despatch. The plat
form adopted commended the admins
tration in SO far as regards Cleveland's
vigorous foreign policy, his efforts for
tariff reform. his firm stand towards
Spain and the Americans held in Cuban
prisons.
The great majority of the delegates
In the convention were in favor Of fu-
sion with the anti-Republican parties
and 1t Is considered probable that the
state convention that meets at Hutch
inson, August 4, will take steps to unite
with the Populists In nominating a
state ticket, and that a similar combine
will be made in each of the congression-
al districts.
CONFERENCE AT COLUMBUS.
Columbus, Ohio, June S-The free sill
yer conference here today was not as
largely attended as its projectors eX-
pected. The advocates of silver who
have not determined to leave their par
ties to secure unlimited coinage Of sill
yer, generally ignored the call, SO that
only the radical wing Of the silver
party was represented. General A.
]. Warner, president of the National
Bimetallic league, was present and ad-
dressed the conference upon the plans
of the national silver convention which
Is to be held at st. Louis on July %.
He said he believed that the national
Democratic convention would adopt a
free silver platform and If they did II
would not be necessary to hold the sill
yer conventions; but it would not do to
presume that the convention would do

An Exchange Between Victoria Post
Office and Sitka Steamboats,.
Washington, June 3.-The entire mail
service between Alaska and British
Columbia will be greatly expedited by
the establishment of the postofiice de-
partment today of an exchange between
the postofiice at Victoria, British Col
umbia and the Seattle and Sitka steam
ship postoffice service.
This action allows the British mails
for all Alaska to be transferred to the
seaport service at Victoria instead Of
sending them, as always heretofore has
been done, by long and indirect route
to Seattle. The steamboat later touch
es ia Victoria, sailing twice a week, and
by the new procedure later mails arriv-
ing at Victoria can be forwarded which
formerly have been deferred fortnight.

bought at lower prices and who prefer to

true, cotton is sure to sell higher. We
favor buying on every slump"
New York, Aug. 2l.-The New York Sun
says of cotton: Cotton closed barely
steady net advance of IA to q points,
with sales of PSI, 500 bales.
Cotton Causerie: Again prices shot up

Liverpool was Unexpectedly sharp and it
looks as though the south was to have

Shorts covered freely, and there was also
considerable buying for long account as

Bad reports continue to pour in. and to
make matters worse, the signal service
predicted continued fair and warm wealth
er for next thirty-six hours. The south
and Liverpool bought to-day, and the spot
markets were more active at rising prices.
The receipts at the ports and interior
towns were liberal. but they were not

weather market If the dry weather con-
tinues many predict much higher prices.

dropped TO 22Ikc, followed by bids Of only
22c. There were no sales made. however,

steadied at 221sc, and large sales were
made at that price. To-day the reported
sales were 6S5 casks at 221sc, the market
closing firm, with a fair demand at the
quotation.

a fair demand at last weeks closing quo

a good demand. and the transactions
were heavy. To-day there was part
