Silver Democrats Expect to Secure This.
They VIII concede Nothing
CHICAGO, June 30-A conference of
the members OF the democratic bime-
tallic committee was called to order at
the Sherman house at "a few minutes
past Il today by Senator Harris, of
Tennessee, chairman of the organiza-
tion. There was present quorum of
the committee and a number of dis
tinguished silver members.
The first meeting was devoted laI ge-
ly to introductions and an exchange OF
views as to the outlook. The opinion
was generally expressed that there
would be no question as to the abso-
lutte control of the convention by the
silver forces, to which was added q
determination to see that nothing
happened in any way to weaken the
control. There was more or less dis
cussion of Whitney's attitude. 1t was
noted that there was no expression by
any one favorably to yielding to the
gold-standard element in anything.
The opinion was we'll summed up in
remark by Senator Harris:
Il am, Harris said, lone of many
thousands of democrats and many
hundrecs of delegates. / can't of
course speak for them myself. 1
want no compromise. We should
either have declaration for the free
coinage of silver on terms of equality
with gold at 16 to so no human be-
ing can misunderstood it, or we should
have an equally plain pronouncement
for the gold Standard
The formal proceedings consisted Of

confer with the executive committee
of the national committee, consisting
of Senator Jones, of Arkan sas; Cover
nor Stone, of Missouri, Senator Tur-

Sonora stage Coach Held Up and Robbed
of Valuable Mail.
STOCKTON, Cal July 2.-Another
stagerobbery took place early this
morning. AS Andy Shine, the driver
of the Sonora coach, was going over
the road toward Knights ferry, about
seven miles from the last-named place,
just above Crabtree ranch, his stage
was stopped by a lone highwayman.
The man ordered him to halt and
throw out Wells, Fargo & Co.'s box.
AS he held a six-shooter at Shines
head the latter readily complied with
his request. Then the masked robber
ordered the mail pouch thrown out and
this request was also complied with.
Shine, however, threw out only the
way mail aud not the Sonora pouch.
1t is thought that from the mail the
highwayman secured valuable reg
istered letter from jamestown. There
were a number of registered letters In
the Sonora mail, but the robber did
not get any of them.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, July 2.-Gover-
nor Altgeld returned from Chicago to-
day. He expects to return to Chicago
Sunday and remain until after the con-
vention. "Free silver men will have
control Of the convention" he said.
''and it is, we think, to our best in
terests to wind up the business Of the
convention in one day. Single gold
standard men will, Of course, fight for
delay" Altgeld said he had no idea
who will be temporary or permanent
chairman, but both positions would be
filled by men acceptable TO the free
silver democrats. Regarding the pres
idential nominee, he said he had no
preference. 1t was too soon yet to fix
upon q man. The chief object now
was to see to it that the rights of the
majority were not interfered with by

potted plants standing near the walls,
On the makai side were two kinds of
chrysanthemums, also several varieties
of the peony. These plants were ar
ranged by an artist especially for the
occasion. japanese lanters and other
Japanese decorations were hung up
along the sides of the lanai.
The entrance of the main hall of the
residence was well filled with large
beautiful Hawaiian palms and flowers.
On the makai side was the first parlor
in which the Consul General and his
wife received their guests. This room
was profusely decorated and fitted up
for the occasion. The nobility of Ja-
pan would certainly be pleased could
they take a peep into this apartment.
On the wall facing the entrance to the
room hung oil paintings of the En-
peror and Empress. Between these
portraits was an immense chrysanthe-
mum, containing sixteen petals and
finished in the finest silk. Immediate
