TEXAS FOR BLAND.
Delegates Instructed for the Champion
 of Silver.

AUSTIN, Tex, June 24.-The silver state convention assembled at 9:30 a. m. After several hours discussion they adopted platform on which a row was precipitated last night, with a few amendments. It declares for free coinage of silver at 16 to regard less of the actions of foreign countries.
 The convention almost unanimously instructed its delegates for Bland for president in spite of fierce opposi- tion by Hogg, Chiffon and others.
 It was decided to send eight dele gates instead of four to Chicago. John M. Duncan, John B. Blake, Congress man Bailey, Governor Culberson, John A. Began, B. D. Senter, Senator Horace Chiffon and ex-Governor Hogg were elected.
 Messages were sent to the conven- tions in session in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois informing them Texas sent a straight out silver delegation to Chi cago.

Many Advocates of Free Silver at Sar-
 atoga.

SARATOGA, June 24.-While the number of people in attendance upon the Democratic state convention today is smaller than usual, there has been in the last few hours marked awaken ing of interest in the outcome due to the aggressiveness of the free silver wing, which entered upon agitation that promises to try the resources of such experienced political leaders as Hill and Whitney.
 The silver men declare their purpose of making themselves heard in the convention, should the committee re- port an out and out anti-silver plank. Some, however, are disposed to accept the Whitney proposition of a declara- tion in favor of bimetallism.
 Before the assembling of the conven- tion it was given out that Senator Hill would be permanent chairman. The convention was called to order by Chairman Hinckle, who introduced Mayor John Boyd Thatcher of Albany as temporary chairman. Thatcher's speech was freely applauded. During call of the roll there were enthusiastic cheers when the name of Wm. c. Whitney was reached, and a demon stration of almost equal fervor greeted the name of David B. Hill. After the

One of These Will Win
 at Chicago.
Blackburn Is Likely to Get
 Second Place.
The Gold Men will Push Whitney for the Head of the Democratic
 Ticket.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-As now predicted by the leading silver Demo crats, the Chicago convention will nominate either Teller or Boies, with the chances in favor of the latter. The claim is made that Boies will be able to carry the state of Iowa on the sil- yer issue, and, being able to do more in that state than Teller, he would have more strength than Teller, as the state of Colorado is being depended upon to go silver anyway. Ex-Gos- ernor Campbell is in the vicinity to- night, making speech, the object of which is to, gain some silver votes in the state of Maryland, and to have the same cast for himself. He is insisting that he can carry the state of Ohio against Mckinley, but no one believes him. Campbell is believed to be tDo far east to lead the silver fight, and in this way he is likely to be sheIyed.
 The plan is being talked of to havp Boies nominated at Chicago, with the understanding that Teller Is to be see- retary Of the treasury in the event the sliver forces win. This, it is claimed. would round up things in the west. Then the vice-presidential nomination is to go to the south, probably to Black ! burn of Kentucky, and this wonId make combination of south and west me friends of Teller propose to work TOT his nomination, but the old claim that 1t would be the Greedy campaign over again is having the effect of ia- initiating the silver men to some ex- tent. In the far west it is insisted that he would carry more votes than any one else, but there are fears that ais nomination would not have gooa erect in some of the southern states By having the word go out that he is to be taken care of in the cabinet. in a place where he can attend to the ex- ecutlVe field business, it is insisted that the west can be encouraged.
 There is much talk among the goIa Democrats about the Whitney bocm. They insist that, as Whitney has con- cluded to attend the New York ceg- Vent1on, he means to take hand in the Cn1cago convention just like he did when he nominated Cleveland the last time. It IS believed that Whitney mas concluded that he can spend some or the money he has secured by iat-frying the government, and buy up the Chicago convention in the best i'm proved Democratic fashion.
 The Democratic convention will he made up of 912 delegates, and so far 3S4 have been elected as silver dela- gates, and 246 as gold men. These nave been elected, and the silver men insist that they will have 576 delegates in the convention, and, as a naaioritv vote adopts resolutions, they insist they will have no trouble to furrn onlngs their own way. But Whitney IS 10 be the gold candidate, with money to burn and to buy votes, and it wsH 'ne interesting to watch how he com@ out.

PREACHER IS A LABORER.
He Says That Waiting for Pulpit
 Means Starvation.

FREEHOLD, N. J., June 24.-Nearly six months ago the Rev. F. W. Over hiser, a young Baptist clergyman, re- siding here, suddenly disappeared. He had been in the pastorate for several years and was regarded as one of the most promising younger ministers of his denomination. He had resided here for some time, and it was generally understood that he was agreeable to a call. He preached in several pulpits as a candidate, and also as supply, and gained general esteem.
 His disappearance occasioned some remark at the time, but after while it was forgotten until few days ago, when some citizens were in Garwood, a manufacturing village, near Eliza beth. There, to their surprise, they found the missing clergyman working as a common laborer in the Hall signal manufactory. He readily satisfied their curiosity.
 There is nothing to explain he said. There was too much delay in the 'candidating' process, and while I was waiting for long line of candi- dates to be heard my daily bread was not forthcoming 'Candidating' is slow starvation, and rather than starve went to work
 This independence on the preacher s part will probably earn him a pulpit, as upon the information obtained one of the churches has decided that such a man will make good working pas tor.

ALL SOLID FOR SILVER Many Delegates Elected
 to Chicago. And They Are Nearly All for
 Free Coinage. Even in New York the Silver Men Give the GoIdbugs Healthy
 Scare.

COLUMBUS, O., June 24.-The pre- hminary meetings last night showed that the silver men had almost 600 of the 750 delegates in the convention which met today.
 . At the district meetings the silver men carried seventeen of the congress sional districts and the gold men four. The committee on resolutions and other committees, including the state central committee, stands IF to 4.
 The Ohio delegation to Chicago when the delegates are all chosen, will prob ably stand 3S to 8 for free silver, al- though the silver men claim 40 to 6.
 The convention was called to order at 10:3O today by Chairman Smalley, and Colonel w. A. Taylor, temporary chairman, read the speech.
 Taylors declaration for free coinage at 16 to 1 gave the silver advocates their first opportunity to cheer which they did vociferously. Temporary Chairman Taylor has been a radical silver leader. General A J. Warner, the permanent chairman, was pioneer free silver man in congress and has been the president of the American Bimetallism league since its organiza- tion in 1889. He has not been coop erating with his party because of his opposition to Cleveland, Carlisle, Brice and Campbell on the financial question and is now favorable to Teller.
 Warmer was introduced as the apos- tie of 16 to l. He urged all to sacri- flee personal preference and all other matters for the free silver issue, to unite on one ticket as well as one issue, and he insisted on this union of the people regardless of party alliances, against the gold standard. To defeat the money power was now, the duty of the hour. The vote on the adoption of the majority report on resolutions resulted yeas, 542; nays, 12S.

A Small Baby Suspended From Third

BROOKLYN, June 24.-Sadie Will son, year old, was tucked in bed by her mother on the third floor of her home. Then she joined her husband on the ground floor.
 When she went back to the room where she had left the baby she was just in time to see the child disappear over the sill of an open window along side her bed.
 Mrs. Wilson ran downstairs shriek- ing, for she thought that she would find her baby lying lifeless on the stone pavement of the court yard, but gag ing upward she saw her darling sus- pended by the dress from nail, which she had a few days previous driven in the wall below the window.

ROSE EYTTNGE'S RIVALS.
Kate Claxton, Whom She Sues, AIlegex
 That She Was Jealous.

NEW YORK, June 24.-Kate C1ax the actress, who has been sued hy Rose Eytinge for $3,20O unpaid salary claimed to be due her for services w1,f5e she was leading lady in the plav e,- titled Captain Swift,'' was called tor examination in supplementary proceed lngs yesterday by Lawyer George R Carrlngton in Part I, of the supreme court.
 The examination was, however. cut snort by the refusal of Lawyer Fred erlck B. Fishel, representing M,ss Claxton, to have reporters present.
 MT. Darlington would not agree to have the examination take place ann where except in open court and before judge. He gave his reason for this by saying that otherwise there would be a constant running back and forth to obtain decisions in regard to obiec- tions. An adjournment was thereupnn agreed upon to July i. Lawyer Car l rington afterward explained the case He said that Arthur H. Forrest ana Miss Claxton had agreed to take the play out on the road and back it f1nan- cially. Miss Eytinge was engaged for an important role. The dramatic yeH- ture did not prove a success and the scheme was abandoned Miss Eytinge was discharged. She brought suit and obtained a judgment.
 Miss Claxton will allege in her de fense that there were several attract i've women in the company besides Mssz Eytinge who were infatuated with ar- thur H. Forrest and Miss Eytinges jealousy was thereby aroused so tha1 she refused to rehearse and acted fn such a way as to cripple the effciency o1 the company, after which one of ha attractive rivals was given her rose This, it is alleged, is the secret Of hea having brought suit

LONDON, June 24.-A deputation of members of the international arbitra- tion league called upon Lord Salisbury at the foreign office today.
 In reply to their address the premier said the government desired to arbi- trate differences and disputes wherever it was possible, and he was glad to say that the case now presented hopeful aspect in the matter of the differences between Great Britain and the United States. It was the highest desire on both sides, he said, that every import ant issue arising between two countries should be submitted to arbitration.

THEY ARE DICKERING England and Venezuela

Boundary and Other Questions
 Being Discussed.
Great Distance Delays Progress of the Diplomats Now In Charge
 of the Matter.

WASHINGTON June 24.-Sir Julian Pauncefote. British ambassador, and Minister Andrade of Venezuela, have been negotiating of late upon a settle ment of the Uruan affairs and incl dentally toward opening negotiations on the boundary question, proper.
 There have been delays due to the month or more occupied in the trans mission of mail to Caracas and return, so that thus far the negotiations have not proceeded beyond an introductory stage. It is the pendency of those ne gotiations to which MT. Curzon, under secretary of foreign affairs, referred in his public statement before the house of commons last Friday when he spoke of instructions given to Sir Julian to communicate with Minister Andrade and to the latter's failure thus far to respond.
 Some question was raised here as to the accuracy of MT Curzon's state ment, as the officials doubted whether Minister Andrade had received from Sir Julian any suggestion of negotia- tions with regard to the boundary question. It appears. however, that these doubts referred to technical de tails and that in a general way Sir Julian and Minister Andrade have been negotiating on the line stated by MT. Curzon.
 There appears to be considerable diplomatic fencing in the matter just now. From the British standpoint Sir Julian's overtures to Minister Andrade afford the latter an opportunity to sub- init propositions which may bring the governments together, but from the Venezuelan standpoint the British overtures should consist of definite propositions. VeneZuelans say there is nothing for them to propose except arbitration, which they have proposed time and again.
 This involves nice diplomatic dis functions as to who shall make over. . lures embracing exact propositions Meanwhile there is constant delay or these technicalities, owing to the time
