lie is Working for Matthews and Expects
to See IA Free Silver Platform.
Chicago, June Ex-senator Turpie, Of
Indiana. is among the recent distin-
guished arrivals. He comes to attend
the national Democratic convention to
which he is a delegate.
81 am here" he said, ''in the interest
of Gov Matthews for the presidential
nomination, as are all our Indiana dele
gates. We think him the most avail
able, and when all things are consider
ed, the most acceptable man whose
name will be presented to the conven-
ton. He is a man of excellent attain
ments. and if elected President, would
fill the office acceptably TO all parts Of
the country. We have nothing TO say
against other candidates, but we claim
for our man that he has always been a
Democrat and that he is absolutely safe
on the financial question. We believe
he will command greater strength at
the polls than will any other aspir-
ant"
The Senator expressed the opinion
that the convention would declare un-
equivocally for the free coinage OF sll-
yer and would submit to no compro-
mise proposition. On the tariff, he
said: Have you read our Indiana
platform? We declare in that that
with the free mintage of silver, our
present tariff law will produce all the
duty necessary to support the govern
ment. We stand by this declaration" ."

THE BI-METALLIC COMMITTEE
Meets at Chicaga-The First Session De-
voted to Introductions and Exchanges of
Views-No Compromise Wanted.

the members of the Democratic National
Bimets lie Committee wa called 20 or

utes past II to-day by SenHor Harris
of Tennessee. Who IS chairman OF tie

There were present quorum OF mem

of Indiana: Daniel, OF Virginia, and
CockreH, of Missouri; ex-senator Mar
tin, of Kansas Gov Stone. of Missouri ;
Congressman McMillen and Rachard-
son. Of Tennessee; Bryan, Of Nebraska,
and Snodgrass, CT Tennessee, besides
others.
The first meeting was devoted largely
to introductions and the exchange Of
views as to the outlook for the ap-
preaching convention. The opinion
was generally expressed that there
would be no question as to The absolute
control of the convention by the silver
forces, to which was generally added q
determination to see that nothing hap
pened in any way to weaken the con-
troll. There was more or less individual
discussion Of Mr.. Whitney's attitude
among the delegates, and it was noted
that there was no expression on the part
o. any one favorable to Welding any
thing to the gold standard element.
The opinion OF the gathering on this
score was well summed up in a charac-
teristic remark by Mr.. Harris. 81 am, -
! the Senator said, "one of many thous-
ands Of Democrats, and Of many hum

organization have assured the silver COM
mitteemen that they will be received soon
after the executive committee is calld to-
gther.
Members Of the executive committee with
whom the silver men conferred to-day as
sured them at no steps have been taken
looking to the selection of temportry Of
ficers. They will, however, make their
call and present statement o. the action
of the bi-metalhc committee and ask that
that committee be allowed to suggest the
temporary presiding officer.
II this request is not granted. they will
report 10 their full committee and the full
committee will proceed to select & man
for that place and push his election at the
outset of the convention In the face Of
contrary nomination by the national COM
mittee. This course will not, however, bs
adopted without full warning to the ma
tional committee in case such warning ap-
pears to be necessary. Also in the event
that the national committee consents to
the suggestion. the silver men will proceed
to name a man for the place.
The silver men are very determined upon
the point of not being thwarted in this
matter and are giving their entire atten-
tion to it. They will tell the national
committee very plainly that the oily way
TO avoid a clash in the convention and for
the national committee to avoid bling re-
pudiated is for them to accede 10 the
wishes Of the silver men in this matter.
They assert that it will have TO be made
apparent from the beginning that h is TO
be a silver convention ard that this can
be demonstrated in no other way so dearly
as in the selection of a temporary pre- liding
officer.
The silver men have given very litde at
tention to the question as to who shill be
! selected to preside, but speculation turns
more freely to Senator Harris, Of Times
see. The name Of Govrnor Hogg, Of Ttxas
is also mentioned in connection Will the
selection.

QUITE IN ANIMATED DEBATE.
The House Of Commons Held an All
Night Session.
The Land Tax Bill Under Consider
alton and Under Closure Finally
Was Reported to the House at 8
O'Clock in the Morning-Some
Sharp Passages.

London, June 30.-The House of Com
mons sat throughout the night debating
the agricultural land rating bill. intend
ed to lessen the taxation on agrlcultur-
al land. The debate proceeded quietly
until 2 o'clock in the morning. The
government kept its forces well in hand,
erSuring q majority OF over $50.
After midnight the excitement in
creased as the different clauses were
carriedunder the closure rule. The Lib
eral leader, Sir William Vernon Har-
court, denounced the methods which the
Conservative leader, Mr.. Balfour, was
adopting in order to extricate the gov
ernment from The mess into which it
had fallen through making too many ell
ection promises and over-weighing it
self with important bills, which, like the
educational bill recently shelved for re-
pairs, it has been unable to carry in
spite of its overwhelming majority, a
fact for which the leadership Of Mr..
Belfour has been greatly blamed.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, chancellor
of the exchequer, angrily retorted that
the opposition was the most fact!ous ev-
er seen and asserted that its tactics were
rapidly reducing parliamentary pro-
ceedings to little more than farce.
Mr.. James H. Dalzel, Liberal, accused
Lord Hugh Cecil, Conservative, with
son Of the Marquis of Salisbury CT de-
iiOerate and organized interference with
the debate.
The speaker was appealed to, but he
declined to interfere beyond exhorting
the members to be more orderly during
debate.
A little later Mr.. Dalzel characterized
Sir Michael -Beach's speech as be-
irg "impertinent," whereupon there
were cries of Withdraw"
The speaker suggested that Mr. Dali
zel had not intended to be offensive in
his remark, and after some skirmsh-
ing, another clause of the bill was clos
ed.
This brought forth another storm Of
derisive shouts from the opposition, and
Dr.. c. K. D. Tanner. Irish, National
ist, was heard to shout gag" For this
the member was warned from the chair
MIR. Chamberlain, colonial secretary,
did rot remain through the night, but
Gook his departure after he first dlvis-
on. leaving Mr.. Balfour 70 conduct the

Chaplin, president Of the local govern
ment board, and other members Of the

court was one Of the last to leave the
chamber.
The bill was finally reported to the
house about o'clock, and third read
ing was fixed for Wednesday.

Female Detective Succeeds In Inducing
COtelI to Tell all About How He Killed
His Victims.
Akron, Ohio, June 90.-Just before
the State was ready to rest its case in the
Cotell trial this morning, deputy sher-
in Hart was called to the stand and the
most dramatic sensation of the trial
was sprung. Hart gave the details of a
conversation last night between Cotell
and mysterious woman who has been
visiting the prisoner every day for a
week. During this conversation Cotell
admitted his guilt and gave all the de-
tails of the crime as in his previous
confessions which he has since repudiat-
ed. The woman has been in the employ
Of the State and by bringing fruit and
flowers and by various other feminine
ways has secured the confidence of Co
tel. Last night four deputy sheriffs
concealed themselves in the corridor
and the woman wormed the statement
out of Cotell. The woman's identity is
being kept carefully hidden. Harts
testimony was supported by the three
others.
after these witnesses the state rested
and court adjourned till afternoon.
