CHICAGO DEMOCRATS.
They Demand Immediate Restoration oi
the White Metal.

CHICAGO. May e7.-The Cook county
Democratic convention adopted a platform
which demands the immediate restoration
of the bimetallic scheme and the free and
unlimited coinage of both gold and silver
without waiting for any other nation.
II elected delegates to the state oonven-
tion avoided booming Governor Altgeld
for denomination and was silent on the
presidential question. The failure to boom
Governor Altgeld for denomination or to
make any declaration on the presidential
question was admitted by the men who
ran the convention to be in accordance
with the wishes of Governor AltReld
There was only one voice raised In the
convention In favor of the gold standard,
and that was the voice of Delegate McGil-
len of the Twenty third ward. He made
an earnest speech against free coinage
but constituting, as he did, the entire per-
sonnel of the gold standard minority his
attack on the report of the committee on
resolutions did not have much effect. A.
s. Trude was chosen chairman Of the del
egation to the Peoria convention.

YOUNG PEOPLE WIN.
Christian Endeavorers Gain Victory In
the Presbyterian Assembly.

Christian Endeavorers Gain a Victory In
the Presbyterian Assembly.
SARATOGA, May 27.-Christian Eadeav.
orers won a victory In the Presbyterian
general assembly. Those interested in the
movement were in tho majority, and they
exercised their power They eliminated
most Of the report OF the committee on the
relations of young people to the church
and discharged the committee The sum
total OF the assembly's action comprised
the adoption of "a statement of rela-
tions between individual societies and
churches, which was directed to be read
in the various societies, and Of provision
for the collection OF Christian Endeavor
statistios. Provision was also made for a
committee of flveto report on the Brother
hood OF Andrew and Philip and on boys
brgades.
Following Is a statement on the action
of the assembly obtained from John Will
lis Baer. secretary Of the United Societies
of Christian Endeayor. DR.. Breeds re-
port, as finally adopted, will he welcomed
with great applause by Presbyterian I'm
deavorers everywhere II shows conclu-
svely that this assembly believes our
Christian Endeayor youDg people TO be
loyal Presbyterians, and that It also en-
shall Withdraw Endeayorers from the fell
lowship of young people OF other denomi-
nations. It was a magnificent statement
of denomiDational loyalty and desire for
spiritual interdenominatlonalf fellowship.
II am enthusiastic over DR.. Breed 8
statement OF relations, and printed copy
OF It ought 90 be given 60 every new mem
ber of each society to show just what Pres
byterian young people believe to be their
relation to their church. / am happy over
this action, because / am confident It will
meet the hearty approval OF thousands OF
young people and pastors, not only In the
Presbyterian church. but in other denom-
nations, who have been apprehensive that
some action might be taken that would
break the fellowship of Christian En-
deavorers.
The discussion on the report on home
missions showed that the assembly was
on the brink of an outbreak on the subject
of new Presbyterian building In New
York The action finally taken has been
variously interpreted. 1t contemplated
the Inauguration of synodical sustentation
of the mission work within the bounds OF
each synod and some OF the Nom bers of
the assembly have expressed themselves
as believing this to bo the first step to-
ward the disintegration of the board OF
home missions.
The text of these important resolutions
could not be obtained, as they exist only
in shorthand in possession OF the chair
man Of the committee They provide,
however. for closer presbyterinl inspection
of acquisitions on the mission board, for a
movement toward self support within
each preshytery and synod and for COM
mittee of nine to advise with the board as
to retrenohment, the causes OF the present
debt and improved methods Of retrench-
ment.

TO speak with Nine. la Comtesse con-

Certainly" said madame, gracious
ly; "let the officer be shown into the
boudoir."
In the boudoir presently came the

buttoning her little gloves. Near the
door stood short, wiry-loolsing man,
with keen, black eyes, closely-cropped
hair, and compact, erect, military fig

therefore, to beg that Nine. la Comtesse
will have the goodness to intrust the
fellow earring to the police for short
period, in order that it may be COM
pared with the one found in the posses

find that the letter bring corroborates

The countess glanced hastily through
the letter, and, ringing the bell, desired
that her maid might be told to bring
the remaining earring Immediately;
this was done, and the dapperlittle man,
bowing deferentially, departed with
the precious duplicate safely in his pos
session.
The countess descended to her sleigh
and drove to the club, to call for her
husband en- route for the Bois. Cross
ing the Place de la Concord, she related
to him the latest incident in the story of
the diamond earring.
"You never were induced to give up
the other!" cried Count Ivanoff, in
credulously,
"But tell you, mon ami, an officer of
the police came himself to fetch it,
bringing a letter from his superiors
vouching for the truth of his state
ment."
"If the project himself had come, I
don't think | should have been cajoled
into letting him have it after last nights

"However, for the second time of ask

directed, to the bureau of police, at
which the count had lodged his COM

what protracted delay, the count re-
joined his wife with semi-grim look
of amusement upon his handsome
bearded face.
"The police know nothing of your de-
tective or his epistolary efforts, ,"he said,
drawing the fur robe up to his chin, as
the impatient horses sped away over

has been netted by another member OF

my honor, think he was the more ac-
