Committee Of Seven Appointed to Con-
fer with the Popuiists.
St. Louis, Mo. AT the first days
session of the silver convention not
much headway wss made. The pro.
gramme Of the conference was all ar
ranged in advance. 1t included simply
the adoption Of 16-to-1 platform and
the nomination Of Bryan and Sewall,
but those in charge Of it deemed il
good policy to go slow in the belief that
they might. by remaining in SESSION, be
able to exercise an influence in shaping
things in the Populist convention. To
this end, they appointed committee Of
seven, headed by Judge Scott. Of Cali.
fornia, to meet similar committee Of
the Populists for the purpose Of reach
ing 9 common plan Of action. The
convention was called to order by Ma
tional Chairman Mott, who introduced

temporary chairman. Mr.. NewlandI
addressed the convention at som,
length, and was followed by othel
speakers setting forth the claims Of thu
silverites.

The second days session of the silver
convention was given over to speeches

were in evidence, and the assembly
was addressed by Mrs. Helen Couger,
of Indiana, who denounced the gold
bug monopolists as wall street plu-
tocrats'' and English bond sharks"
and said the only salvation Of the peo
pie from serfdom was to declare for the
free coinage Of silver.

st. Louis, Mo. The FIRST days ses-
sion Of tho Populist national conven-
tion was not marked by any unusual
occurrences. Permanent organization
was effected, and Senator Butler, who
had been chosen as temporary chairman
by the national committee, was seated.
He addressed the convention, and in
the course Of his remarks said he ia.
vored plan 10 harmonize the forces of
free silver by adopting Populist plat
form and nominating upon 1t Bryan,
with a Southern Populist for vice.
president. His speech strongly upheld
the demand for the perpetuation Of the
Populist organization, which he de-
scribed al having driven the Repub-
licans to gold and the Democrats to
silver. To be swallowed up by the
Democrats, he said, was danger only
equaled by the danger of being made
the direct allies Of the Republicans In
the present campaign. Ignatius Don.
nelly made a middle-of f-the-road speech
in reply to Governor Stones address Of
welcome. There was no night session,
owing TO an accident which destroyed
the electric light connections.
The Second Day.
At the second day Of the convention
somewhat of a sensation was created
in the morning by squad Of the mid
dle-of- -the-roaders, headed by Delegate
Branch, Of Georgia, who suddenly
plunged into the hall through the main
entrance, whooping down the center
aisle. Branch bore aloft big white
banner with the inscriptions Middle

At the sight Of it the Texas. Georgia,

moreover. In some sections the proceeds

ABOUT AMERICAN BEN AND
g y,S WOMEN.

Mr.. Hall Cainc the English author
has been saying some pleasant things
about America. and Especially about
American women. For instance. he
thinks that this is a delightful nation
to study-where the people are fresh,
frank and full of originality or course,
he says, we all know and have known
for the last century at least, that
Americans ere clever, but we can't re-
aiize until we go among them and see
them in their homes how kindly and
how young of heart they are as individ-
uals.
He thinks, further, that as for our
women. ut is only natural that they
should have become what they are
superior. intellectually, .1r ut any rate
specifically SO, to the men" He be-
lieves that this is the consequence Of
mans putting woman--American wo-
man-on q pedestal and worshipping
them. Continuing Mr. Caine adds In
America man has stayed below the ne
destal and worked for woman not hay
ing time, IL he was the ordinary man
OF business, TO cultivate his mind and
manner while he SO worked But she
mas had plenty of time, and has made
the best of 1t. In our own country,
consider that the reverse is the truth.
The average Englishman is superior to
the average English woman in intelli-
gencc and education. That Is because
he is likely to think Vt himself, and
of his sons, before he thinks Of his
wife and daughters. And .EngIish wo-
men have conscientiously upheld him
In his attitude toward them, until com

women have known their own value.
ana set II rather high. p.r a number of
years-a couple of generations, at least,
American women are prettier. more
attractive. more bewitchinE than Eng
lish women-but not SO regularly beau
tiful."
Mr.. Gaines observation leads him to
the belief that In poirt of beauty the
American women are unequal t3, the
women of England In one particular
only and that is in the, straight, al
most Grccian nose.

WILLING TO ARBrTRATE.

The London Times, referring to the
Great Britain over the Venezuelan mat
ter. asserts that Lord Salisbury has
not refused to arbritrate the question,
and that he stands ready to consider
favorably any fair and frank sugges-
tion modifying the details" The Lon
don Times ought to know what 1t Is
talking about. and probably It does, but
the public on this side OF the water
would like to know what his Lordship
considers n fair and frank suggestion
modifying the dctails?" The fact is, the
opinion has obtained all along that the
proposition of this Government to arbi-
trate Ii perfectly frank and fair in all
it's details, and the trouble has been that
the American people have failed to un-
derstand how Lord Salisbury could have
viewed 1t otherwise. If the English peo-
pie are really DESTROYS of an AMIGA
BILE settlement of the dispute the way
is oDen-all the United States asks of
Greaa Britain is to prove its claim to
the territory in dispute-and surely this
is fair enough. The United States does
not ask anything unreasonable. If
Great Britain is the rightful owner of
the territory in dispute it ought not to
be difficult for her to prove It, and this
is all that Is asked Of her.
The question is not one Of sentiment,
but one of principle. 1t is not sufficient
for Great Britain to say that the United
states has no concern in the matter
that it is something which alone con-
Germs Venezuela and Her Majestys

of misunderstanding over a boundary

WHAT WILL FOLLOW.

There is growing belief in Washing
ton that with the settlement of the
Venezuelan question the recognition Of
Cuba's independence by the United
States will soon follow.
OF course this Is but a conjecture.
but the friends Of Cuba argue that
there is n desire on the part of the au-
thorities of this country to go to the
aid of the patriots. but in view of the
unsettled condition of the Venezuelan
matter they are too wise to add fur
Their to the complications on hand.
They think, however, with that
question amicably settled the rec
ognition of the independence OF Gu
ba by the United States would not long
be delayed. Certainly such move on
the part of the Government at Wash
ingtcn would meet with a hearty re-
Spouse from one end OF the country to
the other, and the independence Of the
Island declared would be the signal
for its absolute freedom from Spanish
rule
