GOLD MEN WAITING ON WHITNEY.
Have Hopes That Something VIII
Happen When Once He Is ON
the Ground.

CHICAGO, July At being under
stood that the territories are to be al
lowed six votes, and that the District
of Columbia is to have votes also,
the total number Of votes in the
convention is 91S. Then 460
would be majority, and 612
two-thirds majority. OF these figures
the silver men to-day claim these states:
Alabama %, Alaska 6, Arkansas 16,
Arizona 6, California 18, Colorado 8,
Georgia rs, Idaho 6, Illinois 4S, Indiana
80, Indian Territory g. Iowa e. Kansas
20, Kentucky 26, Louisiana 16, Missis-
sippi Is, Missouri "a, Montana 6, Neb-
raska 16, Nevada 6, New Mexico 6, North
Carolina %, North Dakota 6, Ohio 46,
Oklahoma s. Oregon s, South Carolina
1S, Tennessee "a, Texas 80, Utah 6,
Virginia "a, West Virginia II, Wyoming
They also claim of the delegates
from Delaware, Of the from the Dis
trict of Columbia, of the from Flori-
da, of the II from Maine, 1 of the 16
from Maryland, and of the 1S from
Minnesota.
They concede the following delegat-
ions to the gold men on the temporary
roll: Connecticut IL, Massachusetts, 80,
Michigan 28, New Hampshire 8, New
Jersey 20, New York 72, Pennsylvania
"a, Rhode Island s, South Dakota 8,
Vermont 8, Wisconsin "a
This is a few votes below the two
thirds necessary to nominate, but it
is confidently believed that these will
be secured. The silver men also believe
that an investigation of the contests
from Michigan and South Dakota will
result in adding these two delegations
to their side of the column.
1t will be noticed that Nebraska is
Inquired in the silver column and this
is because, while there is a contest. the
silver men say that they will see that
the gold standard men are not seated.
1t is the security in this preponderance
of votes that makes the silver leaders
confident Of ultimate victory. The de-
cision upon the abrogation of the two
thirds vote on nominations may be de-
layed until just as the convention is
ready to nominate. Then, unless the
gold standard men recognize the super
iority Of numbers and succumb to the
inevitable, the silver men will force the
issue and rescind the long standing
rule.

Gold Men Expect Something to Hap
pen When He Comes.
CHICAGO, July 2.-The announce
ment that the Eastern gold standard
leaders, William c. Whitney, Senator
Hill and others, would arrive to-mor-
row has put some heart into the gold
standard men who are here, and the
argument in hotel corridors waxed a
little warmer. The rumor of a with
drawal of the gold standard forces
from the convention, if they are de-
feated, is still current but it cannot
be definitely placed in the, so far ar
ranged plans of the gold standard peo-
pie. The plan is, at least, calculated
to make things lively, even If it has
not the greater effect, the one the gold
standard men desire, of obtaining con-
verts. 1t will be similar to the plan
adopted by the New York Democrats
during the days preceding the conven-
tion Of 1892, when in the same halls
the orators foretold the destruction of
Democracy If President Cleveland was
renominated. The plan is to have Sem
ator Hill, Mr.. Whitney, Ex-Mayor
Grant, John r. Fellows, Senator Smith.
Of New Jersey; Ex-Gov. Russell, of
Massachusetts, and other we'll known
orators discuss the situation with not
only the leaders Of the gold standard
movement from other states, but with
the leaders of the silver movement.
If these discussions, like the Hill and
Cleveland discussions of 1892, are to be
made public the result can hardly be
fcretold, for the silver element, here
now in such preponderance, is of an
excitable character.
A conference Of the gold standard
men is called for s o'clock tomorrow
night at the Auditorium and If is he
lieved that line of action will be

mapped out at that time. The state
ment that Wilson S. Bissell, of Buffalo.
would act as delegate at large in place
of Senator Murphy in the New York
delegation. Is believed here to be err
roneous, as MIR. Murphy's alternate Is
Jacob A. Cantor. Mr.. Bissell, however,
will, as a close friend Of President
Cleveland, take an active participation
in the fight for gold.
Headquarters of the gold standard men have
been opened at the Palmer House, one OF the
largest parlors being set apart for. that pur-
pose. The gold standard men, tonight, seem
to be quite confident that Hill will be accepted
by the silver men for temporary chairman.
the argument they use being that the many
silver senators who will be so prominent in
the convention and who are at the head of the
fellow senator. But, SO far, 1t is only a
surmise on the part of the gold standard men
who are now on the ground.

MRS. STOVES FUNERAL.
Services Very Simple as She Had
Requested.

HARTFORD, Conn, July with all the
beauty Of the full Episcopal ritual, the funeral
services over the body of Harriet Beecher
Stowe were solemnized at her late home this
afternoon. In accordance with the oft ex-
pressed wishes Of Mrs. Stowe, everything in
connection with the funeral was devoid Of
ostentation, and instead of the customary
crepe at the door, wreath of white flowers
on an ivy background was suspended Only
relatives and close friends of the distinguished
authoress were present. Previous to the ser
vices, the public was allowed to view the re-
mains, large number of colored people he
ing among them.
Burial services will be held tomorrow after
noon at Andover, Mass, seminary and the
burial will be on the grounds of Phillips Acad-
emy, where Mrs. Stoves husband and son are
buried.

SOUTH DAKOTA CONTEST.
Silver Men Will Ask for all Eight
Seats.

CHICAGO, July 2.-Dr. Sebrokin Ross, of
Yankton, s. D., arrived here today as the
representative Of the contestants for the
seats from South Dakota. He says that all
the eight seats allotted to that state will be
contested on the ground that the conven-
tion was irregular. He aserts that the state
convention was held at an unusual place,
and that no delegates were present from
many of the counties. These counties were
however, he asserts, voted on forged proxies.
He also charges the chairman of the con-
vention with arbitrary ruling; says he re-
fused to permit the introduction of a silver
resolution at all, or to allow any amend
ments to the platform, as brought in by the
committee on resolutions. He also declined
contestants are all silver men, while the
contestees are gold standard advocates.

ONLY FIRST PLACE.
Gov. Matthews Not Vice Presi-
Dental Candidate

CHICAGO, July Gov. Matthews. of In
diana, is not candidate for the vice presi-
dency, and will not allow his name to be con-
sidered for second place on the ticket. An
authoritative statement to this effect was
made tonight by Senator Turpie, the senior
delegate at large of the Indiana delegation,
in order to put at rest reports of a combina-
tion by which Gov. Matthews would secure
the vice presidency. Mr.. Turpie's statement
is as follows:
The candidacy of Gov. Matthews today
mas developed very considerable and unex-
pected strength. He is likely to become the
center of support from all conservative men,
The delegation from Indiana desires it to be
stated in the most emphatic terms that Gov.
Matthews is not candidate for the vice pres
idency, and that he will not allow his name
to be considered for that position
Aside from this formal statement the IN
diana delegations express much confidence
that geographical well as political consid-
erations will steadily advance the interests Of
their candidate.

MAY TAKE HILL.
Move to Make Him Chairman Gain
ing Ground.

CHICAGO, July 2-The movement to make
Senator Hill temporary chairman has re-
ceived decided impetus during the day.
and there is good reason for believing that
the executive committee of the national COM
mittee would be pleased to suggest his name
if they felt that it would be accepted by
the silver men. Members Of the committee
profess to believe that Hill will be accept
able to the silver people because he is not re-
garded as administration man, though
ranked with the gold forces. Many impair
tial observers express the opinion that the
senator will be ultimately accepted by all
the beginning Of the convention. The silver
leaders hold out stiff1y, however, for a man
of pronounced silver proclivities for pre-
siding officer.

TIN SCALE FIXED.
But Not Yet Signed by the Manu-
facturers.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 2.-The Amalga-
mated association and manufacturers com
mittee went into conference at noon to-day
to make another effort to settle the tin plate
workers wage scale for the year. After a
long session the conference finally adjourned
tonight after the manufacturers had agreed
to scale which is practically that of last
year. While the scale was agreed to, none OF
the manufacturers would sign 1t as indi-
viduals nor as committee. This leaves the
tin plate lockout still in force, and only
modified by the agreement giving the manu-
facturer the option Of signing not as he
chooses. The outlook for a general signing
Is not very rosy, although the workmen
claim to be confident of ultimate success
Two new signatures were received this even
ing to the Amalgamated scale: Detroit Steel
Spring company and the Atlanta Steel and
Tin Plate company.

THEY RIDIcUE Z IT.
Many People RISiesie the idea of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia
and Stomach Troubles.
Ridicu1e, However, Is Not Argu-
ment, and Facts Are Stub
born Things.

Stomach troubles are SO common and in
many cases so obstinate to cure that people
are apt tolook with suspicionon any remedy
claiming to be radical, permanent cure
Tor dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such
pride themselves ON their acutencss In
icines.
This fear OF being humbugged may be
carried too far; so far, in fact. that many
persons suffer for years with weak dlges-
tion rather than risk a little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims OF
prepa ration so reliable and universally
used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
NOW, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not secret patent
medicine, no secret is made OF their lngre-
dents, but analysis shows them to contain
the natural digestive ferments, pure aseptic
pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden. Seal,
bsniuth, hyGrastis and nuX. They are not
cathartic, neither do they net powerfully
on any organ, but they cure indigestion on
the common sense plan Of digestng the
food eaten thoroughly before II has time
TO fernIcnt, sour and cause the mischief.
This is the only secret Of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure Indigestion and stomach troubles be
cause they act entirely upon the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. taken after
meals, digest the food. That Is all there is
To it. Food not dirested or half digcstcd
is poison. as il creates gas acitiity, head
aches, palpitation OF the heart, loss of
fiesh and appetite and many other troubles
which are often called by some other
name.

JERSEY FARM BURNING UP.
Subterranean Fire Which 1t Seems
ImpOSsible TO Put Out

Burlington. " j.. Nov. 23-For ten
weeks strange Subtcrra mean fire has
burned necessarily in a woods on the farm
OF Joseph Taylor, near Columbus, and thus
far all efforts to eNtinguiSh II nave proven
futile.
From three to five acres have been burn
ed over, or rather under. nd the earth has
been reduced 10 reddiSh-colorcd ashes
while many large trees have been fellcd to
the ground by the mysterious fire, which
ate away their roots.
When the fire was first discovered, more
than two months ago. it was thought that
it had been started by young men from Co.
Iumous. who used 10 inhabIU the woods On
sundays to play cards This theory was
soon dispelled. because the strange fire
never burned on the surface, but always
under the soil.
Another peculiar feature is that in all
the time that 1t has been burning no one
has ever seen any flame, but the smoke
al times is impenclrablc. a few mora
ings ago the smoke blew from the woods
in such dense clouds that those driving
along the Columbus road could not see the
horses before them, and were compelled
TO get out OF the wagons and lead their
teams through.
Mr.. Taylor recently made an attempt to
stay tie progress OF tn fire by digging
a small ditch, and nuoding the burning area
This was affective in a measure, and tn.
smoke soon ceased issuing from the ground
but in a few DAYS il broke out afresh and
with renewed cncrgy in several other places
beyond.
The lire leaves inits path a waste of ashes
and fallen trees. While the party stood in
the woods the roots of large tree were
heard to crack, and the trunk swaycd, and
by this timeit must have fall N with the rest
When the fire has burned out, it leayas
Il depression III the ground, which Mr. I all.
man says must he filled in with new soil
before the ground becomes fertile agIin
The only plausible theory advanced in cx-
planaticn of the phenomenon is that vein
of Conbustible matter, perhaps peat, runs
under the farm in question, and that it has
become ignitcd through the action of the
sun aud the gases in the ground during The
extremely hot and dry summers that have
prevailed for three years

THIEVES In THE COUNTRY.
They Ravage Chicken Houses and
steal Valuable Dogs.

The police have been requested to look out
for two classes of thieves who have been
preying upon farmers in the adjoining
Maryland and Virginia counties.
A weIi-to-d agriculturist from Prince
George county, Md, called on Inspector
Hollinberger yesterday and sought his aid
in recovering a couple of valuable hunt
ing dogs stolen from his place. The Mary
lander played detective and traced the
rogues to this city.
He informed the inspector that there isl
regularly organized gang of thieves here
who visit the nearby counties and steal
CANNES, he added, are brought to this city
and either sold to dog dealers or shipped
to Baltimore and New York.
The other class of crooks complained of
visit suburban fowlhouses in the small hours
of the morning and make away with
chickens and turkeys. They usually go into
the surrounding country In wagons. These
are left ut some convenient place on the
road in charge of the driver.
They are provided with wnat is known as
a "sulphuriZing'' outfit and a raZor-edged
knife, besides the necessary burglarious
indictments with which to open the doors
After the place Is entered quantity of
sulphur on tin plate Is placed directly
beneath the roosts and the sulphur igGited.
The door is then closed, a nd the fumes from
the birthstone soon overcome the birds.
The thieves next enter the fowl house
and quickly behead the birds The bodies
are placed in bags, taken to the wagon and
the outfit moves on to some other farm
house. The birds are pluckeI and sent to
market dressed on the following day.

BEATEN BY ROBBERS.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 23.-At 6 O'Clock
last night, while the Buckholz family We're
