Tho Number of Delegates.

Probably because the chairman of the
republican county central committee did
not have the figures of the 1894 vote at
hand, the number of delegates to which
each precinct is entitled is not given in
the call for the county convention, pub
lished elsewhere. The call says there

Now, the vote for governor and congress-

II is therefore probable-as the basis Of

The chairman had probably also forgot

the conventions this year as follows Que

PROCTOR ON PAST COINAGE LAWS
Has Worked out n story i'm FaveP of
the Gold Standard.

Washington, Oct. 11.-John B. Proctor
of Kentucky, chairman of the United
States civil service commission. has made
public an article reviewing the history
CT the democratic party's position on the
question of the gold standard.
Mr.. Proctor says he has been at some
pains to collect authentic information
regarding the coinage laws of the past,
which satisfied him that the trainers of
the constitution and the founders of the
government were united and determined
that the coined value of our gold and
silver money should correspond with the
market value of the bullion contained.
This, Mr.. Proctor says, Is demonstrated
by the writings of jefferson, Monroe and
Hamilton. Mr.. Proctor quotes many high
democratic authorities in support of his
position, and concludes by saying that
many others might be cited to show that
the free silver plank in the Chicago plat
form is a violation of democratic prin-
ciples, ard that no man advocating fiat
money has q right to call himself a
democrat

But Legal Complications win soon
Result.


Milwaukee, Oct. 1O.-The Northern Pa
cifc receivership is not yet at an end.
1t is likely to be some time before the
order to discharge Receivers Bigelow and
McHenry is entered. The receivers have
been busy since the entry of the decree

with the exception OF one item.
All of the property covered by the
mortgages and which were supposed by
almost every one to have covered any

company ever possessed or could In any
way possess or acquire, has been sold,
but there still remains in the possession
of the receivers many thousands of acres
Of valuable land unencumbered by mort.
cages, and which will have to be sold.
These lands lie directly east of the Mis-
souri, river. and have been claimed gem
orally by the creditors, and stand as the
only available assets of value to the
general creditors. The receivers have not
yet applied to the court for directions
as to the disposal of this property, bur

amicable settlement can be reached
which is hardly possible or probable. The
preferred stockholders, it is stated, lay
claim to these lands, asserting that, by

upon the property. After the conten-
ton of the stockholders prevails, there

1T WAS THE 18TH ANNIvnRsAn,
Cubans CeIebrnted Their Struggle
for Liberty.

Tampa, Fla, Oct 1O.-The Cubans IN
this city today celebrated the 2Sth an
niversary of their outbreak In a struggle
for liberty. The event is celebrated by
all Cuban colonies throughout the coun-
try. The houses of Cubans in this city
were decorated with a profusion OF bunt-
ing and flags, and after dark the veran-
das were hung with Chinese lanterns. A
brilliant pyrotechnical display was given
at night from Cesuede's hall, West Tam
pa, as a prelude to ball where the
elite Cubans gathered to commemorate
the close of a memorable day.
Colonel Fernando Figuerdo, who repre-
sents the Junta in this city, and was aide
to General Cespedes in the last revolu-
ton, in a review of the last revolution
and its causes, said that the conditions
that led to the outbreak were identical
with those which existed in 1868. If the
Cubans do not win this time, he added,
they will continue to harass the Span
ish government until it throws off the
yoke of oppression. The indications are,
he asserted, most fiattering, and the
Cuban leaders fully expected to win the
struggle during next summer.

Ordinances for Merchants an,

Ordinances for Merchants and
Bankers Licenses Knocked Out.
The city council had lively meeting
last night, the feature of which was the
knocking out OF the proposed ordinances
imposing a merchants license and a
bankers and brokers' license. The or
dinances, which provided for a license
graded according to the amount of capt
tai employed, passed its first reading at
the previous meeting OF the council, and
in the meantime the merchants and
bankers instituted a crusade against it
on the ground that il was unconstitu-
tional. unjust and class legislation. AT
the meeting last evening Messrs. John
Scowcroft, John Watson, Sidney Stevens,
A. T. Wright and F. J. KieSel were pres
ent to oppose it and addressed the coun-
Gil. The members Of the council dis
cussed the ordinances at great length, the
result being that the one proposing a
of to 2, Taylor and Wardleigh compos-
ing the minority. The one proposing a
bankers license shared similar fate,
the vote IN its case being to'1, Taylor
being the only man to favor it.
MAYOR VETOES.
A communication was received from
the mayor vetoing the ordinance passed
at the revious session of the council
allowing the city treasurer an extra salary
of $25 month for his services as special
tax collector The veto, which was sus-
tanned by the council, was based on the
ground that the salary of an elected
officer could not be changed during his
term of office.

The recorder was instructed to notify
the board of police and fire commission
ers that the request for guards for the
stocllade was denied.
Bills amounting to $3.50 were allowed.

considered that the present ordinance was
sufficient.

KEY WEST, Fla. Aug. 3.-Colonel
Joaquin Delgado and Lieutenant Fer

have reached this city from Cuba with
important dispatches from General Co
mez for the Cuban junta. Delgado and
Velasco, accompanied by a skillful
boatman, reached Marial Friday night.
where they were TO take a boat for
Key West While they were on the
beach preparing to launch their boat
they were discovered by four Spanish
soldiers and a hand-to-hand fight fol-
lowed Delgado and Velasco used their
nlachetes. with deadly effect and killed
the four SDaniards.
Saturday morning their boat sprung
a leak and was about to sink when a
Norwegian bark rescued them. The
bark brought them within fifty miles Of
Key West, when they again took to
their boat, which had been repaired.
When within twenty-five miles of Key
West last evening they were picked up
by the pilot boat Glance, which brought
them in. Delgado says battles are be-
ing fought daily in Piaof del Rio, and
that the insurgents are nearly always
victorious. He says that Maceo holds
all the provinces save the capital city,
and is beleaguering that. Lieutenant
Velasco is a member of General Zaya's
staff. and says the reporc Of that Of
