GOLD MANUFACTURERS PROTEST
Conference Mt Washington Not to
Their Liking.

Philadelphia. March 21.--In order to
correct what they allege to be false
impression growing out of the recent
conference in Washington between sill
yer men and Philadelphia manufac-
turers, three prominent members of the
Manufacturers Club today addressed
letter to Robert Dornan, its president,
requesting him to call a meeting of the
club, for the purpose of informing the
country of the real situation of the sill
yer question. in the organization. The
letter is as follows:
''Today's papers show that the capital
which the friends of free and unlimited
coinage of silver are trying to make
out of the Washington visit of Phila-
delphia manufacturers rests upon an
unsound and frail foundation as the
whole structure they are trying to Cir
culate.
''This erroneous impression has cel,-
tainly been spreading over the country
that our Philadelphia manufacturers
are willing to conciliate the silver SEN
ators bartering the silver coinage for
additional protection and has given new
life to the agitation for free silver. This
impression should be reviewed in the
most public and emphatic manner, and
we request you to call a meeting of the
Manufacturers Club to take action and
express their opinion on free silver
coinage. We desire to know the posi-
ton of the club on this question. Yours
respectfully,
JOHN CONVERSE,
RUDOLPH BLANKENBURG

MINERS WILL GO TO ALASKA
Party Organized In Chicago TO Ex-
plOrc the Yukon.

Chicago, March 20.-A party of in
trepid gold hunters is being organized
for the purpose of exploring the rich
fields of the Yukon basin in Alaska,
and which are claimed to be among the
richest in the world. The party so far
comprises men from this city. Milwau-
kee, Pittsburg, and points In Michigan
and Ohio, who have already seen SER
vice In the California and Colorado
fields. The start is to be made late in
May, when the first line of steamers
between Seattle, Wash, and Circle
city. Alaska, the nearest point to the
gold fields. is to be put into operation.
The line Is to be composed of one
steamer only and will make in 10 days
the trip that now requires from 40 to
60 days and the endurance of great ex-
posture. Some idea of the hazard in
volved in the exploration is afforded in
the fact that the gold fields are only
accessible by way of the Chllcoot pass.
a narrow pathway in the otherwise i'm
passable mountains. and at places so
precipitous that the ordinary man can
not carry pack, and. even unburden-
ed. makes the ascent with difficulty.
The latest reports from the digglngs,
where quite number of men are seek
ing after wealth. say that whisky Is 81
a glass, butter $3.50 per pound. gum
boots SIS per pair, potatoes and onions
81 per pound, flour $40 per sack of so
pounds, tea 81 per pound, blankets $16
per pair, and other things in proportion.
Winter lasts from October to May,
with an average thermometer of 40 be-
low zero. while the SHOWS vary from
two to four feet. All these prospective
hardships, however. have not seemed
to initiate against the organization of
the party, and which 1t is expected will
start out 100 strong.

Mr.. Hit, chairman, yielded the remain
der of his time to Mr.. Bailey of Texas,
who made a speech in favor of the res
olutions. The Edinburgh speech might
be a breach of propriety, he said, but
il did not warrant these resolutions of
censure. The Boston speech charac-
terizing the people Of the United States
as a violent people was much more Sc
rious. 1t was a breach of good taste
and of diplomatic etiquette. and was
offensive to our common sense and
sound and rugged patriotism. Repub-
lican applause.) A hundred years of
quiet submission to the laws repealed
the charge that the Americans We're a
violent people.
Mr.. Bailey concluded by saying that
man who would express such utter
ances as those of Bayard at Boston
was unworthy to represent this coun-
try anywhere or at any time" Gre

At the conclusion of Mr.. Bailey's re-
marks Mr.. Hit asked for a vote. At
the request of Mr.. Willis the vote was
taken separately on the two resolutions.
The first resolution censured Bayard

the second condemned in general terms
the delivery of partisan speeches by our
foreign representatives. 1t was adopt
ed, $50 to II.
