TO Be A SILVER
CONVENTION
Clans Gathering in Chicago lrepara-
tory to the Democratic
rON-kON.
TELLER is THE ONLY MAN
Democrats Can Choose Who Viii BE Sup
ported by the Silver Republicans
Combining 10 Secure lem
porary Officers.

Chicago, June sO.--The delegates
who have arrived generally appear ad-
verse to discussing the probability that
Senator Teller VIII cut any figure in
the Democratic convention. The sena-
tor has a number Of friends among the
silver delegates who have already ar
rived and among them are some who
would not be ayerse 20 his nomination
Tor president They feel, however, that
the conditions are not ripe for the
springing Of his name. and say II would
be opposed to the interests Of both Tel
Ter and the silver cause 10 bring him
to the front at this time, If at all.
There are also a number Of Teller's
silver Republican friends and Popullsts
In the city who ale devoting themselves
more 10 watching the course Of events
than to any active work. The Populists
who are here say openly that Teller
Is the only man the Democrats can
name that they will endorse. The sill
yer Republicans are not so pronounced.
They put the matter less polntedly by
saying that Teller is the only man
whose nomination would insure the
western states to the Democratic tick
ct. II is not now the purpose of the
senator's friends TO have him placed in
nomination, as others will be. This
course they consider will be in bad
form and contrary TO Teller's wishes.
Their plan is not to make an aggres-
sive campaign, but simply to be on the
ground TO answer questions and TO take
advantage Of any opportunity that may
offer

DEAD OR ALIVE.
Fifty-nine Men Imprisoned in a Coal
Mine

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June S0.-There are
ifty-nine men, living or dead, impris-
oned in the depths of the doomed mine.
This is the official number and there
is no reason to think it is incorrect.
The cave-in at the GAINESVILLE some
years ago offers precedent for the
officials of the twin shaft. As long as
there is a possibility of any of the men
being alive, they feel it their duty to
continue the work of attempted rescue.
In the Janesvllle cavern six men were
imprisoned in the breast of the mine
for nineteen days. On the 18th day
they were reached. Five men were
dead and one was alive. The living
man was big Joe" Polander. He is
now employed as a carpenter at Hazel
ton. Ell has been interviewed on the
probable fate of the men in the Pitts
ton. He has been interviewed on the
alive and the air is pure they will be
able to live for ten days at least.

STEAMSHIP FARES INCREASED.
A Trip TO Europe VIII Cost SO More
Than 1t Formerly Did.

New York, June O.-Representatives
Of the continental steamship lines sail
ing between New York and ports on
the continent Of Europe at a meeting
held on Monday arrived at an agree
ment increasing the first and second
cabin passage rates by about seven per
cent after July Is. The increase will
amount to from s. to SO on each pas
sage. The lines which are included in
this agreement are the North German
Lloyd, the Hamburg-American the
Red Star and French lines. The Brit
ish lines arrived at similar agreement
some months ago.
The cause of the increase, the steam
ship agents declare. is that the ac-
commodations on ocean liners have
been steadily improved, without cor
responding increase in price, until the
margin OF profit has been absorbed.
The outgoing rate only will be in
creased on July Is. The rate from
Europe win remain as at present until
October Is. and the steerage rate will
remain unchanged.

Republicans Confident, While Demo-
Gratis Fear the Silver Specter.
Washington, June S0.-Representatlve
Babcock, of Wisconsin, the chairman
OF the Republican congressional cam
paign committee, has returned from the
st. Louis convention and Is setting the
machinery Of his committee in motion
to elect as many republicans to the
next house of representatives as pos
slble. The committee occupies an eX-
tensive suite of rooms in the Norman
die Hotel,
Representative Babcock is very con-
fident as to the result. He believes the
Republicans will have no difficulty in
electing large majority of the mem
bers of the next house Of representa-
tives and that McKinley's election is
assured beyond all doubt, He admits
that the Republicans will lose some
votes in certain states on account Of
their strong declaration against the
free and unlimited coinage of silver. but
he believes that, on the other hand.
they will gain very largely through
the accession of gold men from the
Democratic ranks. He looks for re-
shaping of political lines to some ex-
tent in all the states, and believes the
republicans will profit by the changes
that will take place.

Chicago. June SO.-The committee ap-
pointed by the Democratic bimetallic
committee to confer with the executive
committee Of the national Democratic
committee win meet the gentlemen
comprising this organization at the
Palmer House tomorrow The men,
bers Of the executive committee. with
whom the silver men conferred today,
assured them that no step had been
taken looking TO the selection of tenn
porary officers. This had the effect of
causing the members of the bimetallic
organization to feel that possibly their
apprehensions were unfounded and to
conclude that probably there will be no
effort at snap judgment. They will,
however, make their call and present a
statement of the action of the bimetal-
lie committee and ask that the COM
mittee be allowed to suggest a tempo
rary presiding officer
If this request is not granted they
will report to their full committee and
the full committee will proceed to Sc
lect a man for the place and prepare
for his election at the outset of the
convention in the face of contrary
nomination by the national committee.
The silver men are very determined
upon the point of not being thwarted
in this matter and are giving their at
tention to it. They will tell the nation
al committee very plainly that the only
way to avoid clash in the convention
and for the national committee to avoid
being repudiated is for them to accede
to the wishes of the silver men in this
matter. They assert that it will have
to be made apparent from the begin
ming that it is to be silver convention,
and that this can be demonstrated in
no way so clearly as in the selection of
the temporary presiding officer.
The silver men have given very little
attention to the question as to who
shall be selected to preside, but spec
ulation turns more freely to Senator
Harris, of Tennessee.

GARMENTS FOR THIEVES.

German Tailor in the East End of
London Makes Them.
TO the average man it will be quite
news to learn that situated in an OBJ
scure east end street there exists a
German tailor whose business, although
.ostensibly that of an ordinary tailor,
consists almost entirely in the manu-
facture of garments specially adapted
to the needs of burglars, pickpockets
and other species of the genus thief.
The other day writer to Cassells
Saturday Journal had the good fortune,
from journalistic point of view, to be
shown over this establishment and was
allowed to inspect the special garments
therein manufactured. There were
coats which, so far as the inside was
concerned seemed to consist of veri-
table mass of pockets, of all sizes and
shapes. It was a pickpocket's coat and
the pockets were adapted for all sorts Of
things. Then there was an ingenious
coat, intended for some individual who
lives but to steal pet dogs which follow
their mistresses about the west end
streets. The most extraordinary fea-
ture about this coat, which was one of
the tailed variety, was a remarkable
pocket of large size and intended for the
reception of dogs. At each side of this
pocket there were tunnel-Iike cham
bers, intended, the writer was in
formed, for the reception of the dogs
legs and paws, to keep it from jumping
about when in his pocket. Another in
teresting garment was a burglars
jacket. This, inside, was lined with
several f1ute-shaped compartments for
the insertion of files, chisels and Jim
mics" and a curious cloth bracket, to
hold a fiat kind of lantern which, it ap-
pears, is fashionable among the burg
ling fraternity.
