while. This was confirmed shortly after
midnight by Senator Hill, who appeared
at the door for moment and stated that
there would be two reports on the money
resolution. at the time the silver MEM
bers of the subcommittee were in confer
ence upon the text of the resolution, there
being some changes in form suggested
which they desired to discuss.
1t was said by one of the members that
the subcommittee was making but slow
progress, the discussion so far having been
confined to the money plank, the only
thing, he said, there was really to evoke
discussion. 1t is the money plank, in
stead of being short, sharp declaration,
that will be the long part of the platform !;
but, of course, will demand free and un-
limited coinage of silver at 16 to /. The
tariff plank, it is reported, will declare
that the present is Democratic tariff law
and will be only a brief statement upon
the subject.
At o'clock this morning the sub-com-
mittee adjourned until $3.50 this (Wednes-
day. morning, when the platform agreed
upon will be reported to the full commit
tee. The platform declares for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to L /;
denounces the issue of bonds; demands
that the power to issue circulating notes be
taken from National banks; declares for a
tariff for revenue only and asserts that the
re-enactment of the Mckinley law would
be menace to the best interests of the
country; declares for a constitutional
amendment which win enable the enact
ment of an income tax law; extends strong
sympathy to the Cubans in their present
struggle with Spain; demands that pauper
immigrants shall be kept out of the
country; declares for liberal pension legis-
lation; approves of the contempt of court
bill reported by Senator Hill to the Sen
ate, which bill grew out of the Debs case,
and denounces the Republican House of
the present Congress for not passing it;
denonnces the Pacific Railroad funding
bill that has been reported to the Senate;
opposes third term as being il violation
of one of the cardinal principles of the
Democratic party, and denounces the ex-
| travagance of the last Republican Congress.
A minority report will be presented by
Messrs. Hill, Gray and Russell.

Seasnen of the Monterey Clash With a
EOGthOmse Cret0.
TACOMA, WASH, July T. An open
event not on the monitor Monterey's pro-
gramme of the Fourth of July athletic
sports took place yesterday morning,
when dozen or more marines who had
been off the ship over night gathered at
Alger's boathouse to await transportation
shipward. Proprietor AIger became irate
when they began jumping around on his
boats, and ordered them off the float.
The marines were feeling jolly, and paid
no attention to him. Agers assistant, a
husky fellow, then appeared and made
some warlike movements. The tars
quickly dared him to pick out the smallest
among their number, who. they said,
would throw him into the bay.
Selling an oar, the boatman struck
right and left. Before they knew it,
several blue-coats were fioundering in the
bay. Their comrades had their hands full
rescuing them. This done, the tars re-
assembled on the float, daring Alger and
all his men to molest them. They claim
the big boatman appeared with shotgun
ard fired several shots, but this the boat
house people deny.
Duty finally compelled the sailors to
beat a retreat, but they declare that
vengeance will be theirs before the
Monterey leaves port.

Suffrage Association requested per-
mission to be heard, but the
subcommittee declined to hear any one
on any subject and gave strict orders to
its sergeant-at-arms .hat its proceedings
must not be interrupted. Just before the
committee went into executive session
Senator Hill made the statement that
there would in all probability be a great
deal of discussion and very careful con-
sideration of the proposed financial plank.
He expects the subcommittee to be in
session several hours and hopes through
argument that will be advanced that a
conservative policy will be pursued and a
modification of the original intention of
the silver leaders agreed to.
On the other hand Senators Jones and
Tillman made the positive assertion that
the financial plank shall declare for the
free and unlimited coinage OF silver at the
specific ratio OF 16 to / in language that
cannot be misunderstood and as tersely
expressed as is possible for the committee
to formulate it.
Senator White of California submitted
to the committee the following, which he
hopes will be adopted:
mo discrimination should be INDUCED
in by the Government of the United States
in favor of any of its debtors. We approve
of the refusal OF the Fifty-third Congress
to pass the Pacific Railroad funding bill,
and denounce the efforts of the present
Republican Congress to enact a similar
measure"
At midnight Senator White returned
and was closeted with the subcommittee
for few minutes. He afterward stated.

plank would be agreed upon before great

Wool and silver.

The sheepmen and the miners have
also reached -the parting OF the ways
Through all tho tariff conflict that has
been SO fiercely waged the mining
camps have stood like a rock in sup
port Of protection for wool, and free
silver and protection has been the
profession OF the wool grower. Now.
however. when it appears that selfish
ends may possibly be served by
throwing overheard the Of silver
the flock masters are heard to express

great wool industry is a matter Of
greater consequence than the free

the value OF the clip might possibly
have been increased three-qunrters Of
a millions dollar. The value OF the
silver output last year was in round
numbers 9 100000. Under free
coinage, the value would have been
more than 50, 200 1000 more, and more
over, the value OF wool would have
greatly increased, in common with all
other products. And yet there are
sheep owners 20 narrow and so blind

lief that the free coinage OF silver is a
matter Of minor importance. They
have arrogantly taken possession Of
the Western ranges, to the exclusion
OF ranchmen and cattle growers, de-
filed the streams and deied the set
tiers, paid dividends when wool was
at its lowest point and silver mines

WHAT 1T MEANS.

Vague promises hat II the Ohio
major Is elected president, the coun-
try will i'll some mysterious way be-
come more prosperous, should not
blind the American people to the real
nature Of McKinleyism. Four years
ago that word was understood to mean
u policy Of high taxation, dear goods
and restricted foreign trade. This
was the form in which it was embod-
led in the Mckinley tariff. and after a
full and fair discussion for over two
years the people rejected the policy
and ordered the tariff repealed.
Nothing has happened since 1892 to
change III the slightest degree the es-
sential nature Of McKinleyism. 1t is
now as then a demand for special tar
i'll privileges for the benefit OF d few
great trusts and manufacturing mo-
nopolists. II Is a scheme by which
100000 American consumers are to
be taxed on the goods they buy. in
order that a small number of million
aires may make greater fortunes. 1t
e class Legislation in the interest
OF men who furnish money to buy
votes and corrupt the sources OF pop
ular government. 1t is a bold asser-
ton OF the right of some men to get
rich at the expense of the masses who
produce all wealth.
Tho popular verdict in 1892 was
that McKinleyism wa a fraud and
robbery. Theft is always theft, no
matter what it may be called, Four
years ago the American people voted
against stealing under the form Of
law. Is there any reason why the
same people should now vote in favor
OF high tariff robbery, merely because
tho McKinleyites are this year calling
their leader @prosperity's advance
agent?'-Ex.
