New York, June S.-(Special)- was a weather market today. Liverpool was de- pressed but this had no effect on our mar ket, which opened tride higher. the first sale of August being at TAT. A spell of weakness followed, August selling down to TAO but when the weather map was posted showing no rains worth speaking of in Texas, the shorts became nervous and buy ing to cover caused a general recovery August advanced to 7.49. In the final trad ing, however, prices eased few points and the close was barely steady with August at 745q746 All eyes just now are fixed upon Texas. If the drought there continues cot ton will advance, but if good rains should come the market will fall to a lower level.

FIRST SILVER BREAK.
Indiana Delegation Refuses to At
tend Caucus for Delegates.

Chicago, July 3.-The first serious break
in the ranks of the silver men occurred to-
night at 4 meeting OF the Indiana delega-
ton They voted not to go into the caucus
next Monday.
Some of Mr. BANDS friends visited
Indiana headquarters this afternoon and
urged the Hoosier delegates to attend
the caucus. After they had gone, at the
request OF several members ofthe delegation,
Senator Turpie, the chairman, issued j
call for the meeting Mr.. John E. Lamb
Of Terre Haute, as alternate -at-large, will
occupy the seat of Senator Voorhees,, de-
tanned at home by Illness, introduced the
folio wing resolution:
Resolved. That the delegation from
Indiana believes that the nominee of this
convention ought to be made by the con-
vention, and we decline to attend or be
bound by the action OF any caucus or confer
ence called for that purpose"
This participated lively debate, lasting
over an hour. The passage OF this reso-
luton was urged by Messrs: Lamb, W. E.
English OF the Indianapolis district and j.
NJ williams OF the Williamsport district.
They took the ground that the proposed
caucus was In violation OF all precedentand
SO updemocratic that not even the ahnor-
NAL conditions under which the convention
would meet justified suctI a radical de-
parture. The passage OF the resolution
was strenuously opposed by Messrs. Over
myer of North Vernon, Coierick Of Fort
Wayne, aud Gregoryso Muncie, who. ar
gued that . failure to 90 into the CAUCUS

NOT HOPEFUL FOR TELLER
Colorado Delegates Do Not Expect
His Nomination.

Denver, Col, July B. This evening the
final contingent of Colorado silver fight
ers departed for Chicago, accompan ying
the Democrats to the convention.
Many Republicans are in the crowd, and
they go 10 urge silver first and Teller
second. Otto Mears, very skillfui State
manager Of the Republican party politics,
said today:
Il shall go TO work for silver and Teller. ;.
hut l am prepared to support any Demo
crat who is square ON silver. The State
will support the ticket, which declares for
that
Senator Teller repeats that he has not
believed very strongly in this effort to
place his name before the Democratic con-
vention. He, of course, would accept
the tender, because he believes il is an ev-
idence Of the union of the common pc ople
against the money power, but he also be-
heves that If silver Democrat is nomi-
mated the silver men must support that
Nominee regardless of party.
To Colorado people this growing Teller
boom is great surprise, and, while they
would unitedly rejoice in his numina-
ton. few expect it. Even the Colorado
delegates do not believe Teller will be
nominated. nor are they personally asking
for it. but they will cheerfuily accent
him If the national convention chooses
to indorse him. Tho main question of
issue above candidate has not been lost
sight of for a moment.

GOLD MEN WON'T BOLT.
Will Make Dignified Protest, Then
Accent the Platform.

Chicago, July SIT Is positively stated
that the anti-silver men will not initiate
the example of the silver men in st.
Louis and bolt the convention when their
wishes with regard to the platform are
disregarded, as they are sure to be.
The so-called sound money men, the
Wise Men of the East" as the silver
men have joculariy named them, believe
in the efficacy of the machine in politics
and the necessity of keeping the organi-
zation intact for coming campaigns.
While it is understood that no bolt
will be eountenanced, this is not tanta-
mount to a declaration that the gold men
will permit the convention to go for free
silver without objection.
A dignified aud emphatic protest will
be made against the course the majority
are bent upon taking, but after they have
carried the day the gold leaders who dis
agree with them, 1t is said, will accept
the ticket and the platform aud the scenes
at st. Louis will find no counterpart at
Chicago.
1t is also given out tonight from a free
silver source OF prominence that the gohl
delegation from Michigan will be unseated,
earlier counsels to the contrary, not with
standing.
There has likewise been developed a.
concentration OF sentiment in a number
of the delegations favorable to the Sc
lection OF Editor William j. Bryan OF the
Omaha World Herald for temporary
chairman.

TRIED SUICIDE AS A CURE
Mrs. Emma Bayliss Took Chloro-
form But Will Recover.
Domestic Unhappiness Given as the
Motive for Her Unsuccess-
full Attempt.

Emma Bayiiss, twenty-one years old,
living at No. 363 o street south west, at
tempted to take her life yesterday bee ause
she said her husband had been unkind to
her. The couple have been married for
several years, but according to her state
ment, their life has lot been a happy one.
Yesterday the woman became Respondent
and swallowed a quantity Of chloroform.
She was taken to Emergency Hospital be-
fore the drug had taken effect and the
physicians were able to save her life.
This Is said to be the second attempt
at suicide Mrs. Bayliss has made within
"a short time. Yesterday she went to the
home Of her sister, on South Capitol street,
and told her she was tired OF living and
intended to take her life.
Earlier in the day the young woman had
purchased some chloroform, and, going
10 4 room in the second story, she swai-
lowed quantity OF the drug.
Her sister, who had followed her, dis
covered her condition and notified Of
ficer Neaie. who sent for a patrol wagon.
Mrs. Bayiiss was taken at once to the
hospital aud received medical attention
before the poison had affected her. Her
husband called at the hospital last night
and had long interview with his wife.
When he had gone she told the physicians.
that it was the first time he had spoken
to her in several weeks.
Mr.. Bayiiss is employed at the Capital
Traction Company's power house on E
street. He is considered n Woodworking
man. and his friends say they thought
he always treated his young wife with the
greatest kindness. 1t was stated at the
hospital last night that Mrs. Bayiiss was
greatly improved and would probably be
able to leave today.

MET In INTEREST OF GOLD.
Conference Presided Over by Whit
ney AccOmp liShed Little.

Chicago, July 3.-After all the talk about
sensat ional happenings that might be
expected from the conference OF the gold
forces, led by William L. Whitney, the
meeting tonight OF Mr.. Whitney and those
who are with him in his endeavor to secure
some concessions from the trium phant
silver men. resulted in nothing more than
a decision 10 appoint subcom mittees to de
missionary work with the incoming dele
gates.
For three hours Mr.. Whitney and the gold
men discussed the situation, and although
frequent applause driftcd out into the cor
ridor from the parlor where they held their
secret session, practically little developed
to give hope that the situation had unGer-
gone any change or that anything might be
expected from the silver forces.
1t was $50 when Mr. Whitney's cohorts
assembled in u parfor of the Auditorium
and it was three hours later before the doors
were opened at the adjournment: of the
meeting. Whatever of hope they had d,
the beginning did not progress one iota dur.
ing the time the conference lasted.
About so gold men were there and the
largeness or their number gave them en-.
coura cement at the outset. Mr.. Whitnel
callei the meeting to orderin short speech.
He explained that the meeting was the re-
suit OF Invitations issued by him and said
that the purpose was to have Il preliminary
talk and secure reports from the various
States with view to getting at the gen.
eral situation.
At his suggestion Senator Gray. of Della
ware, was made permanent chairman CT
the conference. Benjamin T. Gable. OF
Illinois, and John A. Read, of PennsyL
vania, We're elected secretaries.
The conference proceeded to its business
at once. The States We're called alpha.
betically and somebody responded for
nearly every State. The gold men frankly
admitted after the conference that not all
the responses were from regularly elected
delegates TO the convention, but all the
men who did respond. were representative
of the sections for which they spoke.

EASTERN MEN ARRIVE.
Hill and Other Gold Dele
gates Reach Chicago.

Chicago, July 3.-The most attractive
event OF the day and the most liz portant
from the standpoinG of the anti-frce silver
members ot the party assembled in the con-
vention city was the arrival this evening
of the advance guard from the Eastern
States, principally New York, representing
the gold standard minority.
Their leader, towering in stature and in
fluence, was William C. Whitney. The
former Secretary, of the Navy had engaged
almost the whole Of the parlor floor of
the Auditorium anneX-nine bed rooms

asked il he Lad any statement 10 make TO
the press. Mr.. Whitney said:
II shall have nothing to say tonight in
the way of an interview. The fact is l

publication in New York on the issue and
crisis before the party. 1 don't know any
thing lew TO talk about, because lave been
on a train for twen ty- four hours and have
Just got in to look over the ground"
Then ca ne Mr.. Harrity, the national CON-
mittee chairman, who greeted the Ne >
Yorker as if very glad To see him safely
in Chicago. Cluse behind the PeDnsyl-
vaniap walked the Presidential candidate
from Kentucky, Senator Blackburn, who
added his welcoming words. All the meni-
bers OF tie Whitney party could not be
accommodated at the annex, so they were
Quartered ut the main hotel. These were
james X. Martin and ex-Mayor Hugh
Grant, Of New York city. EX-Gov. Flower
went to the Palmer House.
While Mr.. Whitney was at the elevator
waiting to so into conference with Mr..
Harrity and others he was greeted by
Col. S. W. Fordyce. president of the Texas
and st. Louis Railway. who forms one of
the gold standard contingent from Mis-
souri He evidently came to the conven-
tion at the request of Mr.. Whitney, as he
called to the New Yorker while the car
was being started: You sent for me.
and I came. you see. 1 always come
when you call me and like to ubiige

Senator Hill and ex-GOv. Flower went

reserved for its use as headquarters.

BLAZE IN A FEED STORE.
Establishment Of 4. A. Davis Gutted
by Mysterious Fire.

DS mysterious f1re-
Fire broke out about $40 O'Clock last
night in the flour, feed and supply store
OF A. A. Davis on the corner Of Tenth and
p streets northwest. The flames had made
considerable headway before they were
discovered. and the interior OF the rear sec
tion was burning at a lively speed.
Harry Cassell first observed the bright
light throug the windows and communi-
Gated the ia CT to No. Z ergine-house. In
the meantime Policeman May pulled box
236 at Eleventh and o streets northwest.
No. Z, however, was on the spot in a few
moments, aud for over an hour worked
steadily upon the flames, which at one
time threatened to wipe out IA row of frame
structures adjoining on the left.
The fire ate its way tothe front building
and cleaned the rooms out completely. :.
The structure itself is an old-timer. and
had it not been for the constant stream OF
water it would probably have been CON-
plctely destroyed. The loss is about 500.
How the fire started is puzzling. as there
was nothing in the place to cause spon-
taneous combustion. and the fire seems to
have originated on the inside. One theory
is that n fire era cker did the business.
The property is owned by George 81.
Hill. and is partly covered by insurance.
