Biggest Cave in World
With Gold Deposits.
Remarkable Discovery Made
at Hudson, Missouri.
Sinking of the Ground There Lead
to An Investigation.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 20.-A special
from Mansfield, Mo-. says: There has
been great excitement here over the re-
ported discovery OF gold and the finding
simultaneously OF the iagest cave in the
world near the town OF Hudson. For
two or three years the earth has been
sinking in these parts to such an extent
as to cause uneasiness among the popuIa-
tion. Lately there has been recurrence
of this phenomenon. Upon investiga-
tion an opening TO what is said to be the
largest cave IN the world was found.
Cavern after cavern lined with pure onyx
and traversed by subterranean streams
have been explored without finding the
end. Portions OF stalactites in one Of the
caverns were found to contain gold.

what provoked about this talk OF post
sponing the State convention from Aug
ust 26, the day fixed at the last meeting
OF the State central committee on
August
The alleged reason for delay was that IL
Is the vacation season and 1t will be
difficult for many of the delegates TO be
present. The real reason is that several
Rhode Island Democrats have an idea
that the longest walters in this cam
paign will have the best chance. And
they argue that no action should be
taken anyway until after candidate
Bryan has sent out his letter OF acceptance
SO that there viii be fresh material to
resolve about aud endorse and point at
with pride.
This argument DOESN'T go, however.
Bryan's letter is expected next Monday.
the Gath and there will then be two days
for the party "spell- binders" to read
and ponder before electrifying their
party associates in Music Hall.
And besides as chairman Owen observed
at the last meeting of the Democratic
COMMITTEES as q rule, Rhode Islands
Democrats don't get very far away from
home on their vacations.
Therefore the Democratic State coli
vention for choice of electors Will be held
on August 26, and the district conven-
tion to nominate for Congress vn
October z, as originally planned.
In the meantime Hon. Hugh j. Carroll
Of Pawtucket seems to be more complete
ly oat Of 1t than ever. He is a bolter in
the interests of national honor, as he
declares, but on the quiet he is supposed
to be scheming to steal control OF the
State macbine by taking 1t into the hands
of the gold boilers. But unfortunately
for the Pawtucket politician the gold
boiters don't care picayune for the con-
troll OF the State machine and he is in
the position of the mule who stood be-
tween two loads Of hay ano starved to
death from indecision. There is only one
thing left for him now, and that 10 to
bolt the boilers.

day that the regular Owen and Conley
crowd Of Tiilmanites will get together
and forget their z old resolutions which
they passed with thunderous applause in
Music Hall on the 21st day of last Apr II.
Ibis will make It embarrassing for
Hon. Hugh j. Carroll OF Pawtucket, as
he can't very well attend both spd Stein
way and Music halls are not within spell
binding distance OF each other. He must
either give up saving the nations honor
In Steinway Hall or stealing the State

of the dates changed.

The Administrations. D,,.m,,,

The political discussion concerning Mr..
Cleveland no longer relates to a third term.
That proposition. it is thought has been
disposed of by the rise of silver sentiment
in the democratic party. Speculation now
relates to MIR. Cleveand's attitude after
the democracy has made its selection at
Chicago. and has written. as seems all but
certain. a free coinage platform. What will
his feelings be toward the nominee? What
will his course be?
These are interesting questions free
silver democrat running on a free silver
pia'iorm will be calculated in the old
darky phrase. to try his patience might
iiy. That will mean reputation of the
administration. and in case of success at
the polls. reorganization of the party on
silver lines Can Mr.. Cleveland be expected
TO tamely submit to that? He could NOT
of course. actively participate in the cam
paign even II both the candidate and the
platform were to his liking-were made
with tine view of indorsing and continuing
Evening star., 1896-06-11

his own policy. But what will the simple
fact of the antagonism count for in circles
friendly to and in full agreement with Mr..
Cleveland?
Mr.. Cleveland, it is known, puts the
financial question above all other questions.
His own position has been taken with de-
liberation. He must stand or fall by the
result. And more than that. He considers
that the opening of the mints to the free
coinage of silver would be disastrous to
the public credit and entail incalculable
losses on the country. In a certain sense,
therefore. Mr.. Cleveland puts the financial
question above party. 1t is question, as
he sees 1t, calling for the utmost resistance
against those who favor the free coinage
of silver.
Here. then, is the point Mr.. Cleveland
as President can take no part in the fight
himself. But he will be none the less on
trial. and his friends none the less inter-
ested- How will they carry themselves
simply for knowing that the fight is against
him? Democratic success will mean Mr.
Clevelands failure. Republican success
will be in measure a Cleveland success,
so far as the financial question is con-
cerned. If the sound money policy is in
dorsed at the polls and continued by the
next administration, that will be an in
dorsement of the sound money sentiment
of this administration. At any rate such
will be the claim of Mr.. Cleveland's friends
Will they work for that? Or, If they do
not openly work for it, will they vote for
it on election day?
1t is an open secret that as soon as the
Chicago work is completed, If Mr.. Cleve-
land does not volunteer an expression of
some Kind. effort will be made to in
some WY draw him out. Both sides will
be anxious to hear from him.

Sunday next Is Flag Day. but as the
public schools will not then be in session
the annual celebration Is to take place to-
morrow 1t is good thing to pay con-
spicuous and patriotic homage to the ma
tional colors at least one day in each year.
and II Is good thing to impress upon the
youthful mind the necessity for honoring
the emblem of liberty as it is under a re-
publican form of government Elsewhere
than in the schools there will be remem-
prance of the one hundred and nineteenth
birthday of the stars and stripes: public
interest will be aroused and sustained i'm
appropriate and temperate fashion. There
cannot be overmuch of devotion to the fac
