second days session of the Baptist con-
vention yesterday showed greatly in
creased interest, many delegates and
visitors having arrived on the night and
early morning trains.

cious auditorium was well filled. An
increased attendance on the part of the

Mahon, John w. Vermillion and the pas
tor, Rev. C. w. Turrell.
Moderator Maxwell delivered an able
address upon the subject of ''The Holy
Spirit in Missions
One of the most pleasant features of
this convention is the fact that the peo-
pie of Taylor opened wide the doors of
their homes to the coming of the guests.
Pastor Maxwell stated yesterday that so
great were the accommodations offered
that he could easily furnish each dele
meals each day and three or four nice
beds to sleep in. He also announced
that no collections would be taken up to
defray expenses, all of this having been
amply provided for.

ternational Arbitration conference opened
a three days session here this morning.
Ex-S !nator Edmunds of Vermont pre-
sided today, and about $50 people men

proposition that the issue must be fought
out this year. 1t would be divulging no
secret. Gen. Warner said to state whom
they looked on as the coming candidate
in the event the Democrats failed to come
out for free silver. This man is Senator
Teller of Colorado.
Mr.. Teller was satisfactory to all the
silver men.
Following delegates and alternates at
large to the st. Louis convention were
selected
Delegates at large: Benz Butterworth,
Cincinnati; Gen. A. B. Warner. Marietta;
Judge r. G. Blandan, Cleveland; A. T.
Niles, Toledo.
Alternates: Judge w. NJ. Oliver, Gin
cinnati; Judge +. Stark, Cleveland; Mason
Warner, Toledo; Mr. Moore, Greenville.
The committee was authorized to select
thirty-six other delegates to the st. Louis
convention. There would be one from
each district and fifteen at large The
slim attendance today was explained by
the fact of the strong probability that the
Democratic party would declare for free
silg-,.. at the coming state convention.

THE ATTEMPTED DUEL

Madrid, June 5.-The Campos- Barrerosr
affair continues the topic of the hour. 1t
appears that the marquis tried to stop
the captain general from entering his
grounds. but the latter entered and
placed the cOmbatants under arrest and
parole. 1t is yet believed the duel will
occur ON the earliest possible occasion.
Gen. Barreros has many partisans, es--
pecially among the younger officers Of
the army.
Gen. Barreros accused Gen. Campos
of systematically preventing his promo
ton in the army. He asserted that
Marshal Campos, for the last twenty
years, had been the irresponsible arbiter
of Spanish politics and had been sort
the cabinet OF officials, he asserted, were.
due to Marshal Campos.

TO BOOM RLAND

Little Rock, Ark, June 5.-Something
of political sensation was sprung here
ernor Stone of Missouri, will arrive in
this city in few days to remain until
after the Democratic state convention,
which meets on the 18th. His mission
is to look after Mr. BANDS presidential
boom. Several counties in Arkansas
have endorsed Bland at their primaries
and this fact has encouraged his sup
pOrters. Members of the bimetallist
league of Little Rock favor Boies for
the presidency and are trying to arrange
for the Iowa candidate to be here dur
ing the convention. Considerable rival
ry between the two free silver candi
dates has been aroused and the chances
that the Arkansas delegation will go to
Chicago uninstructed are good.

refer the minority report TO John Sher-
man. On motion the minority report was
read.
As Senator Carroll of Louisville was
among those who did not Support Black
burn after his caucus nomination, the
delegates treated the minority report with
some disrespect, but when John s. Rhea
appealed for respectful consideration the
minority report was re-read and promptly
defeated by an overwhelming viva voce
adopted.
A free silver greeting was read from
the Virginia Democratic state conven-
ton.
Pending consideration of resolutions of
thanks to the Democratic silver press,
the convention, at = p. IN. adjourned.

THE BOND BILL.
If the Ways and Means Committee Has
Its Way 1t Will Not Pass the House

:"
Washington. June 5.-Chairman Ding
lev of the house ways and means COM
mittee today made n report to the house
on the senate resolution to prohibit the
issue of bonds without authority from
congress. The statement is signed by
eleven Republican members and two
Democrats-Turner of Georgia and
Cobb of Missouri-who concur in the
recommendations without endorsing the
arguments.
The report says:
ut is not proposed by the senate bill
to repeal so much of the resumption act
as authorizes the secretary of the treas
ury to borrow coin to maintain the re-
demption fund; vet this is the legal
effect of the argument employed. The
attempt to cloud this repeal by reference
to further authority of congress is mean
ingless verbiage, for everybody nows,
without declaration to this effect, that
congress may re-enact law which has
been repealed, and the repeal is proposed
lust as congress is ready to adjourn for
six months and with the knowledge that
the senate, as at present constituted,
would never authorize an issue Of bonds
to maintain the redemption fund. To
propose this when there is and has been
for three wears n large deficiency of reye-
it is not the deliberate purpose of the
promoters of this bill to plunge the gov
eminent into reputation and depreciate
the greenbacks.
Zone excuse which has been given for
the passage of the senate bill is that the
secretary of the treasury has sold bonds
to a syndicate instead of offering them
first as popular loans. While we sympa-
thize with these criticisms, yet this
affords substantial grounds for amending
the act of 1873 so as to require bonds
issued under it to be first offered to the
American people and not ground for the
absolute repeal of all authority to borrow
Ill eXlgency., Our excuse is that the sec
rotary OF the treasury has indirectly
issued ana sold bonds to meet the de-
1ciency OF revenues by using the re-
deemed United States legal tender notes
ior current expenses and thus placing
