BY CANOE TO ST. LOUIS.
Boys Will Enjoy a Unique Vacation
Outing.

Two young men have chosen a novel way
of spending the summer. Last Friday James
R. Connors and William Adams arrived in
this city from Ashland, Wis, and after
visiting the sights OF the Twin Cities and
purchasing what supplies were necessary,
they departed this morning before o'clock
in a canoe for st. Louis. The young men
came West by way of the great lakes, leav-
ing the steamer from the 500 and then pro-
coast of Lake Superior to Ashland. At that
place they hit upon the idea Of taking a
trip down the Father of Waters, and although
late in the season, it was the only oppor-
tunity they had of making the trip. The
outfit which they have is novel as 1t is
practical The young men intend to camp at
different places on the way, and accordingly
have all the accessories which are needed
Their tent is made by the use Of the sail
Of the canoe and the rubber coats. To pre-
vent taking cold by sleeping on the ground

and at night are stretched between four
stakes A stove in which it is claimed bread
can be baked is made like the common
''knock-down" tin lunch box. All the pals
kettles and pans are so made that they fit
one inside Of the other thus taking up as
little room possible. The canoe has air
tight compartments at each end, In which
the clothing and provisions are kept both

Stops Of several days duration will be

Previous to this meeting the national

WHITE is THEIR CHOICE.
Si1verite Who May Be Put Forward
for Temporary Chairman.

CHICAGO, July "a secret meeting of
leading silver men was held at the Sherman
house today. The conference was devoted
exclusively to canvass of the situation with
reference to the selection of a temporary
presiding officer, and the majority of those
present announced themselves as favorable to
the selection of Senator White. 1t was I'M
derstood. however, that the action should be
in sense binding to Senator White but
that the selection should be finally made by
the full silver committee tomorrow afternoon,
ing of the steering committee
The committee first agreed that the can
didate should be chosen from the Western
states, largely because of the general belief
that Senator Harris, hailing from the South
should be given the permanent Craftsmanship.
Three names were considered They were
those of Senator White, and of Messrs. Bryan
and c. S. Thomas, of Denver, who were urged
by their respective friends. Objection was
made to the fact that Mr.. Thomas halls from
silver producing state.
The choice of the meeting was favorable to
Mr.. White, but, recognizing that the meeting
was not full, 1t was decided that opportunity
should be afforded between the three with
conference utilized for a general dis
cussion of the probabilities as to the action
of the national committee with reference to
the selection of temporary chairman.
The members Of the national committee
present supplied what information they had
at their command, and the exchange OF IN
formation led to the conclusion that the
silver men would be able to control the com
mittee as to the selection by securing the
cooperation of few members who while
they advocate the gold standard. take tho

The view you express Of the brave

Of grief instead Of joy to the govern

that wish uttered with such excess of
desire as by those of our own country

CHICAGO, July 5.-Mississippfs delegation

missionaries and is carrying the free silver
war into the enemy's camp in return for the
eHorts expended by the Eastern men to divert
the south from its loyalty to the white metal.
yesterday party Of New York delegates
made tour Of the headquarters of South

erners advice and admonition to turn them
from their course. Many Southern men were
disposed to resent what they considered the
patronizing manner of the Eastern men
toward them. To-day the Mississippi men Sc

SOUND MONEY"
During my calls I have found neither
sound nor money, which indicates that
the outside rabble are largely on the
side of silver, or else such an elegant
opportunity for oratory would be en-
braced by the advocates of gold. On
calling at the Missouri headquarters
this afternoon. which is the leading
Bland department, the gentlemen in
charge told me that there was no ar
rangement for a general caucus Of all
silver delegates, and if that plan ever
had any strength it seems to have been
abandoned. They told me that there
would be Bland caucus tonight and
that Utah and Washington had been
added to their strength today. Illinois
has been claimed for Bland, but the
delegates, or many of them, did not
arrive until tonight, and are in ses-
sion as I write, with the probabilities
that the majority will decide for Bland.
This will be the severeSt blow BoieS
and Matthews have received. / Occa-
sionally meet some one who says Tel
Ter has prospects, but l certainly do not
find 1t among the Democrats now in
Chicago. If he could be selected it
men, as they would have good grounds
for saying that this was not a Demo-
cratic convention. The state Of feeling
is such, and many Of the silver men
are so unreasonable and cantankerous
that I do not think the gold men will
lack for ample excuse to repudiate the
work of the convention on other
grounds than its adoption of 16 to 1
platform. Later developments tonight
are liable to be of interest.
With the crowd already in town and
the clubs and delegates known to be
enroute the convention attendance to-
morrow will far exceed that at ST.
Louis. Chicago is absolutely able to
care for them and the natural thirst of
the city is such that the normal condi-
ton Of the bars is sufficient to meet all
emergencies, without their enlarge
ment. Potter Palmer has done the
handsome thing by moving his down
stairs restaurant up stairs and devoting
the lower floor apartment to a wine
room This was done without refer
ence to the Democratic convention, but
it proves a very convenient life-saving
station for the multitude. The only
additional arrivals from Minnesota to-
day are John Moonan, of Waseca; John
Sheehy, of Montgomery, and J. F. Nc
Govern, Of Wabasha, all delegates. 1t
speaks volumes for the Minnesota De-
mocracy that they so reverence the
fourth Of July and the Sabbath as to
decline to be present or even travel
towards this wicked city, on either of
these days. / found the Ferris wheel
in operation today about four miles out
on the North side, SO that if they had
been here they could have taken a
heavenward journey, but I think 1t
was their reverence which has kept
them away. If they should arrive to-
morrow the convention will begin on

position that the majority of the convention
should be allowed to designate the chairman.
They count that there are q or % silver men
on the national committee, and their informa-
tion led them to believe that they would

That the politicians of the United States
have made up their minds that Minneapolis

is borne out by a telegram received from
Chicago by M. Breslauer, in which 1t was
stated that Police Sergeant John Leonard,

CHICAGO July 5.-Judge Powers, of Utah.
Is among the delegates who received letters
from a bankers firm in this city in regard
to the effect that free silver declaration
would have upon the business interests of the
country. In this letter, 1t is stated that
s4s1 ,ooc have been invested through the firm
in Utah. Referring to the circular, Judge
Powers said: IF this company and the eli
ents of that concern do not care to play in
our back yard they need not. If they do not
want to invest in Utah. some else will.
Their clients will receive whatever Is due
them, for Utah will pay dollar for dollar as
nominated in the bond. If these bankers
think they can intfmidate us and prevent us
from carrying out the will of our constitu-
ents by covert threats, then l say to them

the pillars of the financial temple they will
bring the edif1ce upon their own heads as
we'll as ours, and we can stand it as well as
they. l think that the bankers had better
let us run politics our own way, and devote
their attention to business. Perhaps there
