silver Democrats Confer.

CHICAGO, June 30.-A conference of
the members Of the Democratic BIZ
metallic Committee was called to Or
der mt the Sherman House at "a few
minutes past twelve to-day by Sen
ator Harris of Tennessee, Chairman
Of the organization. There was aquor-
um present OF the committee and a
large number Of distinguished silver
Democrats. including Senators Ilar-
ris and Bate of Tennessee, Jones of
Arkansas, Turpie OF Indiana, Daniel
OF Virginia, and Cockrell of Missouri,
ex-senator Martin OF Kansas. Govern
or Stone OF Missouri, congressman
Mcmillan and Richardson OF Ten
uessec, eN-Congressmun Bryan Of
Nebraska and Snodgrass Of Ten
nessee.
TIe first meeting was devoted
largely to introductions and exchange
OF views rs to the outlook. The opin-
ion was generally expressed that there
would be no question as to the abs
lutte control OF the convention by the
! silver force, to which was added a
determination To See that nothing
happened i'll any way to- weaken the
control. There was more or less dis
cussion OF Whitney's attitude. 1t is
noted that there WIS no disposition by
any one favorable To yicl ling tn the
gold standard element in anything
The opinion was well summed up in Il
remark by Senator Harris. Il am
he said, but one Of many thousand
Democrats and many hundreds OF
delegates. ] cant OF course, speak
for them, but l can speak for myself
j want no compromise. We should
either have II declaration for the free
coinuge Of silver on terms equally
with gold mt a ratio of 10 to /, so no
human being a misunderstood it,
or we should have an equally plain
pronunciamento for the gold stand
ard"
The formal proceedings consisted in
the appointment of a committee TO
confer with the Executive Committee
OF the National Committee consisting
OF Senator Jones OF Arkansas, Cover
o Stone of Missouri, Senator Turpic
OF Indiana, Governor Atgcld Of Him
OILS and Senator Daniels OF Virginia.
The terms of the resolution under
which the committee was appointed
authorize the committee TO confer
with the Executive Committee of the
National Committee in reference to all
questions affecting and relating To the
temporary organization and the o
ccedings Of the National Convention.
II sentiment which controlled the
meeting, and is said to exist among
oil those present, was that the stun
ton demanded that no precautions be
neglected i'll making sure OF tho tent
pornry organization toy the silver ma
jority. 1t appeared that no one knew
ut any determination on the part OF
the National Committee TO deprlye
the silver men of tho temporary organ-
ization. On the other hand no Que
Knew OF any inclination To give the
silver men control. 1t was unnni.
mously conceded that wisdom de-
handed tho bimotallic organization To
put itself m touch with tho National
Committee 10 learn its plans, and TO
be able to connteract them in case
they should DO opposed to the silver
interest. The committee adjourned

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Morgan Speaks on the Subject of the
Cuban War.

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
Morgan of Alabama made a long speech
in the Senate to-day on the subject of
the war in Cuba, and favoring the pas
sage of a joint resolution recognizing G
the Cuban bellgerency, so as to give
the President the opportunity of coin
Gliding in or vetoing the action of Con-
g"ess. He asserted that the United
States had observed faithfully the neu-
trality laws and had not in any way
melted or promoted the insurrection,
although it had been a difficult task
to restrict the wrath of the American
people when they saw this Government
stand by while unchristian barbarities
were being summarily perpetrated.
Every day, he said, that the Americans
suffered imprisonment at the hands of
the Spanish Government was a day of
national humiliation. In alluding to the
Queen Regents speech to the Spanish
Cortes he chara cterized her as a cruel
monarch"
AT the close of the speech his resolu-
ton of yesterday was agreed to in
structing the Committee on Foreign Re-
lations to inquire into the recent arrest
and condemnation of citizens of the
United States captured on board the
Competitor.
No other business of interest or i'm
portance was transacted, and the Sem
ate, at $50 p. m., after hearing eulo-
gies by Senators Chiffon and Mills of
Texas and Caffery of Louisiana on the
late Representative Grain of Texas,
adjourned until Monday.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.-A mod
crate sized crowd braved the cold wind
and gathered at Central Park this af-
ternoon to shiver and hiss while num-
ber of professional bicycle riders gave
an imitation of racing under the aus
pices Of the San Francisco Cycle Rae
ing Association. The racers were not
restricted by time limits and loafed as
they pleased. The summary explains
why a large portion of the audience left
the grounds before the races were con-
cluded.

In a corner of the rear room stood a
marble topped wasnstand, and at this
the murderer. apparently with all pos
s:ble GOODNESS, washed his hands after
the commission of the deed. The basin
was found half full of bloody water.
and on the handle of the pitcher, which
he evidently lifted out Of the bowl be-
fore performing his ablutions, were the
same dreadful stains, manifestly there
through contact with his crimsoned
hands The towel, too, bore similar
reminders Of the crime that mad been
committed, and indicated, too, that the
murderer had been little hasty in wip-
ing his hands, since all the blood had
evidently not been washed from them.
He had been cool enough, however, to
hang it up in it's proper place on the
rack after using it.
The detectives decided that the dead
woman's throat had been cut with a
very sharp knife, but nothing Of the
kind was found anywhere in the rooms.
Another suggestion made by those
who examined the body was that the
murderer first choked his victim into
speechlessness, if he did not render her
entirely unconscious. and then made
use of his knife.
There were not wanting indications
that robbery had been the murderer's
object. The sum of $40 in money and a
quantity of jewelry was found in the
rooms by the Coroner's deputies and the
detectives, but it is considered certain,
nevertheless, that plunder of much
value was carried away. The dead
woman was fond of jewelry, and owned
some costly diamond and pearl earrings
and numerous other valuable orna-
mRntS.

JAIL BREAK IN KENTUCKY.
All But Two of the Prisoners Make
Their Escape.

CINCINNATI, May 16-The prison
ers in the Newport (Ky.) jail sawed the
hinges off the rear door at s O'Clock to-
night, and all escaped except Jackson
and Wa1ling, the alleged murderers of
Pearl Bryan, who refused to leave,
thinking it a plan to lynch them.
A crowd of several hundred people
surrounded the Jail when the news of
the escape spread, and a heavy squad of
police were hurried to the scene, AS
soon as the mob learned that the al
legged Pearl Bryan murderers were still
within the walls, they became pacified,
and were soon got under control Both
Jackson and Walling had every oppor-
tunity to leave with the others, and
when found were in the jail corridor in
high state of excitement.
AT midnight none Of the escaped pris-
oners had been captured though posses

as they realize that the practical mean
ing of this is that Senator Blackburn
