BREAK IN THE RANKS
Indiana Delegation Kicks Over
the Silver Traces.
DECIDE NOT TO ENTER ANY CAUCUS.
Its Members Believe the Candidate Should
Be Chosen on the Floor OF the Con-
:. vcntion- Conference of Silver Dol
egates-InterestingG Gossip.

Chicago, July 4.-The first serious break
in the ranks of the silver men occurred Fri
day night at meeting of the Indiana del
egation. They voted not to go into the
caucus next Monday. Some of MIR. Bland's
friends visited Indiana headquarters Fri
day afternoon and urged the Hoosier del
egates to attend the caucus. After they
had gone, at the request of several mem
bers Of the delegation, Senator Turpie
the chairman, issued call for the meet
ing. Mr.. John e. Lamb, of Terre Haute
who as alternate at large will occupy the
seat Of Senator Voorhees,, detained at home
by illness, introduced the following reso.
luton:
Resolved, That the delegation from In
diana believes that the nominee Of this
convention ought to be made by the con
vention, and we decline to attend or be
bound by the action Of any caucus OF
conference called for that purpose"
This precipitated a liveliest kind of de-
bate, lasting over an hour. The passage OF
this resolution was urged by Messrs. Lamb,
W. E. English, of the Indianapolis district.
and Judge McCabe, Of the Wiliamsport dis
trict. They took the ground that the pro-
posed action was in violation of all prece-
dent, and SO undemocratic that not even
the abnormal conditions under which the
convention would meet justified such rad
dcal departure.
Would Hurt Matthews Chances.
The passage Of the resolution was siren
uously opposed by Messrs. OverInyer, of
North Vernon: Colerick, of Fort Wayne,
and Gregory, of Muncie, who argued that
failure to go into the caucus would
operate against the chances Of Gov. Mat

Retires from the New York Bank Be-
cause of His Silver Views.
New York, July 4.-William p. st.
John, president of the Mercantile ma
tional bank, has resigned his position.
Mr.. st. John has for several years been
an outspoken advocate of the free coin.
age of silver, and in this has been at
variance with the directors of the bank.
The feeling in banking circles against
the advocacy of free silver by bank
president has been very strong, and it
resulted in making Mr.. st. Johns rela-
tons with his business colleagues very
unpleasant.
Mr.. st. John was recently requested
by resolution at mass-meeting held
in this city to attend the national dem
ocratic convention and urge the incor-
poration of certain preambles and de-
mands into the platform of the national
democracy. The first of these demands
is independent and unlimited free coin
age for silver at sixteen to one. Mr..
st. John resigned his Office of presi-
dent OF the Mercantile national bank
because a majority of the directors
thought his compliance with that re-
quest would be harmful to the bank.
The board accepted his resignation with
unanimous expression of regret. The
Mercantile national bank is at 191 Broad
way and is one of the best known banks
in the city.
Mr.. St. John has been especially noted
as practically the only fnancier of
prominence in the east who openly ia
vored the free coinage of silver at the
ratlo OF sixteen to one. He was the
only Tree silver New York city bank
president, and as ouch his sayings and
writings have been quoted all over the
west. A few months ago Denver news
paper suggested him us an acceptable
Tree silver candidate for president Of
the United States.

Wearing Away of Coins.

Copper money wears away rapidly.
In 100 years $500 worth of pence would
be worth only $3.50, while the same
amount of sovereigns would lose only
31s per cent. of their original value, and
$500 worth of shillings, on the other
hand, would be worn to the extent of
$1s5. The less the value of coin, of
course, the greater its wear and tear.
A penny circulates at least 24o times as
rapidly as sovereign.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. PA
trading firm in this city b ,s received
advices from the English consul on
the island of zap, Que of the Pelew
group in the South Seas, regarding
one OF the Ost strOcious sea TRACE
dies that has been reported for months.
November Is the crew OF the Amer
lean trading vessel Maria mutinied, it
is said, and murdered Captain Brown,
Mate Holman aud passenger. The
aptain's wife and her son were near
Iy killed by blows from an ak. The
tragedy was reported from Singapore
on November 20, but it was erroneous
ly stated that the mutiny took place
on the Spanish snip Marie Secunda.
The NUT ny occurred off the Andrew
Islands.
Captain Brown retired. leaving the
boats vain, a man named Hover, to
stand watch. Mate Holman mad al
ready turned 10. The bOatswain stole
quietly forward and gave the word to
the crew that the time had come TO
act. He secured hatchet and steal
ing below 10 the shippers cablu he
struck at Captain Brown with tire
weapon nearly severing The sleeping
mans head from his body. Browns
diving groan awakened his wife. Mrs.
| Brown raised herself on her elbow
and shrieked for help. Mate Holman
heard her cries and sprang from his
berth to go to the rescue. Hover had
stationed a boy behind the door of the
mates cabin. The boy was armed
with an ak and when Holman 10 abe
his appearance he dealt him a terrific
| blow on the head, killing him in
stantly.
| The passenger was Gagged below, but
| the mutineers called to him to come
on deck, saying that his life would be
spared AS ne came on deck he was
struck at by one of the crew.
He ran to the rail, bleeding from
cut Oh his shoulder, and jumped into
the sea The mutiueers then pitched
the corpses of Capt. Brown and mate
! into the sea. The schooner was head
ed for Andrew Island, and Mrs.
| Brown and her boy were kept close
prisoners. 1t was the intention of the
mutineers to put them ashore on an
| isolated coral reef near Andrew. Be-
fore the island was reached the crew
got fighting themselves, two half
| breeds were killed and another died
of wounds received. Provisions gave
out, and when cruising off Andrew
| the vessel was manned solely by the
boatswain, two Chinese and half
breeds. The vessel was steered into
port and the king of the islands gave
the murderers food enough to last
them several weeks. Before the YES
sci sailed again, however, the king
became suspicious, boarded the craft
and rescued Mrs Brown ami her boy.
The Spanish gunboat Velasco put in
at Andrew and took the murderers to
Manila for trial.
