FREE SILYERITES.
Have Control of the Democratic
Convention in Iowa.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, May 20. The
free silverites have control of the
Democratse State Convention in
session here today for the selection
of delegates-at-large to Chicago by
a majority Of more than 175 dele
gates. Despite the overwhelming
odds, however, the sound money
men do not purpose to godown
without struggle and in the early
hours of the convention, under the
leadership of ]. J. Richardson, of
the national committee, the single
standard forces stubbornly con-
tested every inch of ground with
their white metal adversaries. A
bolt of the sound money forces when
the committee on resolutions sub
mits it's report is extremely likely.
1t was almost an hour after noon
when tho convention was called to
order by Sam Wright, who had
been previously designated as tenn
porary chairman. The convention
hall was packed with delegates and
valiant adherents of the party who
in spite of the dissension in the
ranks, joined in giving rousing
welcomes to the party leaders as
they made their appearance on the
platform. The calling of the roll
occupied nearly an hour and after
the appointment Of committees and
other routine matters had been dis
posed of a brief recess was agreed
on.
The convention will declare for
Boies for the presidency, though the
venerable ex-governor is not max,
ing any active canvass for the
honor and declined to allow his sup
porters TO open convention head
quarters for the purpose of pushing
his candidacy. However, with the
adoption of silver platform by the
State convention, he has signified
his willingness to have his name
put to the National convention, and
unless present plans slip cog or
two the delegates-at-large will be
given instructions to present "Old
Horace's" name and stand by it
first, last and all the time.

SARATOGA, N. Y, May 22.-Though

seminary control, which has long
been the chief bone of contention
between the liberal and conserya-

is being INDUCED in concerning the
probable nature of the report which

owned by the Mon Theological

lS4f we made a thorough examina
ton with levels, measurements, etc,
aud proceeded to build saw mill to
go by water power on the connect
ing bay ou. In October. 1917, we
pitched our camp on The bayou bank
and began work upon temporary
dam to hold the water while the
mill was forehay was being excavat-
ed, piled and timbeIed. Thefall rain
set in early in November, rendering
1t difficult to place our temporary
dam. After weeks OF exhaustive
labor with eight stalwart men, we
agreed ON the last Saturday in
November to stop work until the
summer if we failed to check the
water flowing under the dam, by
night. A heavy fall OF rain at t
O'Clock p. m. washed out all we had
placed IN the forenoon. We returned
to camp at night much discouraged,
expecting to abandon the enterprise
for the season. On Sunday (the fol-
lowing morning) Mr. HHdgens was
out quite early and walked
over to the dam to view the situa-
ton. He came hurriedly back and
announced that not drop of water
was flowing under the dam; that the
dam was as tight as bucket with
the head beginning TO discharge over
the cap timber. You may be sure,
we hurried out and over to the dam
ana found Mr.. Hudgens' statement
verified-no water boiling up from
under the dam, even under the pres
sure of an eight-foot head. An inves-
tigation WAS at once Inaugural ted to
find how this excellent work had
been executed. 1t was soon ascer-
tanned that during the night the OPP
posite bank of the bayou had been
denuded of the switch cane which
grew TO the waters edge, and that
number of tupelo gum sapings
had been cut down, and into differ
ent lengths, as shown by the chips;
all small limbs and twigs had been
broken away; clay and leaves had
been made into plaster and we'll
used slide into the water told the
tale. A colony of beaver had their
village on tongue OF scrub cypress
juting into the water in the upper
part of the cypress swamp. Seeing
they could increase the volume of
water by stopping the leak in our
dam, they accomplished in one night
that which we had worked at five
weeks and failed. The saw mill was
built and successfully operated for
nine years. Our beaver were held
sacred, and all trespassing for beav-
er in our swamps was forbidden.

today was made the occasion for O

must have been gratifying indeed to
the ruler whose dominions extend

A BIG DEAL.
Hon. S. M. Taylor Purchases
the Residence Of Judge
SilVerman on Fifth
Avenue.

An important real estate transfer
took place this morning when Hon.
S. NJ. Taylor, the well known ut
torney, purchased the handsome
home of Judge Frank Silverman on
West Fifth avenue.
This is one of the most beautiful
and desirable residences in the city.
The residence is large and handsome
and is situated on 81 quarter OF n
block of as pretty ground as can be
found in the city The property is
well shaded with the famous water
oak trees, and the yard fairly filed
with as beautiful flowers and roses
as can be found in the State.
The consideration is understood
to have been $4,000. which is very
low price for SO fine and valuable a
property. Col. Taylor is to be con
graduated upon his bargain.
For sometime Judge Silverman
has been in poor health, and was in
duced by this cause to dispose OF his
beautiful home in Pine Bluff He
and his wife will leave in a short
time for Cripple Creek, Col, where
Judge Silverman has some valuable
mining properties, and where they
will probably make their future
home. Judge Silyerman and his
estimable wife will carry with them
the countless good wishes of a
multitude of Pine Bluff friends.

Inquiry from Mr.. irwin Halsey, OF
Lexington, as to whether he had
voted for Brady, he stated that he
did not vote for Gov. Bradley or
for any other candidate on the Re-

But the Halsey telegram did not

who doubted, and Mr.. John S. Rhea,
OF Russellville, one OF the most active

to Secretary Carlisle aletterin which
he asked him the direct question as
to whether he voted for 2. W. Har-
din and the entire Democratic
ticket at the November election,
1895.
Secretary Garlisle's reply to this
has been given out by Mr.. Rhea for

AN OVERFLOW OF THE ARKAN-
sAs NOT IMPROBABLE.
Heavy Rains and Storms Last
Night in Western Arkansas,
Oklahoma and the In
dian Territory.

The Arkansas river at this point
rose feet last night and is still ris-
ing. This sudden rise in the turbid
waters of the Arkansas is due to the
late heavy rains in The western part
of the State, the indian Territory
and Oklahoma.
And the GRAPHIC received advices
through the Government officials Of
the Weather Bureau at Little Rock
today to the effect that heavy wind
storms and rains occurred at Fort
Smith and throughout the Indian
Territory and Oklahoma last night
which will still further swell the vol
ume of water between the banks OF
the Arkansas.
In view of these advicea an over
flow ia the low lands is imminent.
We would warn the farmers below
to be prepared.

entire distance the procession passed
through solid lines of troops, a pre-
caution which for once in Muscovite
history appeared unnecessary so
nearly did the demonstration ap-
proach a popular ovation. The
cheering OF the populace started at
the first appearance of the procession
within the city's gates and it could
still be heard long after the chief
actors had disappeared in the Alex
andrinsky Palace, where the pageant
concluded with Il grand review of
the 10000 troops by Nicholas II and
his staff of 270 generals who had par
ticipa ted in the ceremonies OF the
day. Never before, probably, had a
Russian sovereign received such an
ovation at the hands of his subjects.
Every where the CZarina, with her in
FAINT daughter, the Grand Duchess
Olga NichOlaievna. at her side, was
received with vociferous cheers, and
it was a noticeable fact that not UNI
til the carriage of the Empress came
within view of the Nremlin did the
great bells OF Moscow peal forth to
be answered and re-answered by the
booming Of a thousand cannon and
the music from the scores of military
bands stationed at all the street in
terseetiOnS along the route. 1t was
spectacle never to be forgotten,
though in fact, it was but curtain
raiser for the great show to come.
