Chicago, July 2.--The executive COM
mittee of the national Democratic COM
mlttee have decided to recommend to the
full committee that it proceed in the
usual way to designate man for tempo-
rary chairman of the national convention.
1t Is not yet determined whether the ey-
ecutive committee will assume the re-
sponsibility of naming the man for this
place, and the matter is still under con-
sideration. The decision ITO recommend
this course has been arrived at, not in
defiance of the request of the silver men,
but, 1T is claimed, because it is in accord
ance with the precedents in the party.
Still there are evidences that the mem
bers of the committee resent the demand
for silverites as without warrant. and it
is believed they have reached the point
where they prefer to take the chance of
an open fight in the convention to sub
hitting tamely to what they look upon
as an unjustified effort Mt dictation.
There is no doubt that if the full national
committee accepts TIN. resolution, it will
result in the precipitation of a lively
skirmish on the floor of the convention
on the threshold of the proceedings

A DASTARDLY DEED.

special from Pocahontas to yester-
days Bluefield Telegraph, says: One of
the most dastardly and heinous crimes
ever committed in this section occurred
yesterday. William Duncan, young
white man, committed a rape upon the
little siX-year-old daughter of Samuel
Gullion, of this city. 1t seems that he
knew the little tot and persuaded her to
go with him. She accompanied him from
one bar room to another until he was
very drunk. He then coaxed her to the
suburbs of the city and there assaulted
her The child is now in critical condi-
ton She is entirely helpless like one par
alyzed, and has not spoken word since
the awful crime was committed. Her
death is expected at any moment. All
the parties are white and Duncan is in
Jail. Excitement is running high and no
one can tell what may occur Duncan
says that if he outraged the child it was
because he was crazy by drinking liquor,
as he remembers nothing of it.

HANNA AND MCKINLEY
Are Worried About the Creed of the
"Oho Farmer

Are worried About the Greed of the
"Ohio Farmer
Cleveland, o., July 2.-The Ohio Farm
er, of this city, is a weekly agricultural
paper that has circulation of about TO-
QO0.among the farmers of Ohio and adj
Joining States The proprietor and pub
Usher is NJ. j. Lawrence, who FORMERLY
had large interests in Colorado, and who
has for many years been an ardent free
silver man. The Farmer is not a politi-
cal sheet in any sense of the word. 1t is
the organ of the farmers.
For several years past the Farmer has
been preaching the gospel of silver to its
readers, and it has done a great deal to
solidify the agricultural portion of Ohio
and adjoining States for the white metal.
Mckinley and Hanna have just awak-
ened to the fact, and it now transpires
that conference of the managers has
been held over this Ohio Farmer situa-
ton, and methods as to how that paper
can be brought into line with the Repub-
llcan platform, or at least made to keen
still till after the election.
1t was decided that there was no use in
going to Lawrence, the editor, directly,
for he is very firm in his opinions on this
subject, but systematic plan has been
evolved by which a great many letters
VIII be sent to the editor of that paper
from alleged subscribers and others, find
ing fault with its position and demand
ing that change of policy be inaugu-
rated.
l called on Mr. Lawrence to inquire of
him i'll regard to this matter He said:
II suppose that Hanna and Mckinley
are worried. So am 1. have a fine in
stitution here. The good will and adver-
tlsing patronage of this paper are worth
much. | depend absolutely upon the
farming population. For years the rural
population have been getting worse and
worse off. They are unable to get any
thing worth speaking of for their crops,
and they cannot pay the interest on their
Indebtedness. In my opinion this has
largely come from the condition into
which our money has been put by legisla-
ton. | am utterld tired of seeing this
country bow down to TO the money power
of Europe and worship ut the shrine of
Wall street. / believe that the free and
unlimited coinage of silver will help the
agricultural masses, and that being so,
it Is my duty to tell them so, and do all
in my power to educate them along the
lines that are for their best interests. If
the farmer cannot get money for his crops
he cannot afford to take my paper. He
will not patronize the advertisers who go
into my columns on purpose to do bust
ness with him. The present condition
of things is great damage to me. The
farmer pays his debts and buys things
with his products. If he gets, only the
lowest price for them, as he necessarily
must on the gold basis, he sees nothing
but ruin before him.

The Fortuna was bound for the
Georges, carrying a crew of twenty

schooner began to settle immediately.
Before the boats could be cleared she

four minutes later"
The Fortuna was a vessel of about
