M'KINLEY A FREE AGENT.
English Fear He Would Sign a Free
 Coinage Bill Anyhow.

LONDON, July 2.-The Times says editorially this morning on American politics and the outlook in the United States on the currency question: We are not sure that party platforms are so important, because when the presi- dent is elected he becomes a free agent in the safer and stronger possession than an English premier Therefore it is not certain that Mr. Mckinley will oppose the popular will if congress should send him a bill for free silver.
 'sWe trust therefore for the credit of the United States either that MT. Whit ney's gold campaign will succeed or that the triumph of the silverites at Chicago will not be followed by tri- rmph at the polls"

GOLD ARROGANCE.
Men Not Delegates Try to Run the
 Convention.

CHICAGO, July 2.-Some silver men manifest disposition to resent the an nouncement of the intention of the gold advocates who, not delegates, to come to Chicago with the avowed intention of influencing the proceedings. Sena- tor-elect Money of Mississippi, said: "It is an unheard of proceeding for men like Whitney and Eckels who have no credentials to the National conven- tion to attend it with the view of in- fluencing the action of delegates on the question of principle. To come here, as these men do, to change the views of delegates who are instructed on a line of policy, is either piece of ar rogance or a piece of folly, just as you choose to regard it.'

WANTON VANDALISM.
Missouri Ruffians Damage a Preach
 CTS Home.

MANSFIELD, Mo-, July 2.-The peo- pie of this county are greatly incensed at what has turned out to be one of the worst acts of vandalism that ever occurred in this section of the state. A night or two ago a gang of men vis- ited the home of minister living near Macomb in the county and almost de- molished the premises by destroying his orchard, running the vehicles into the creek and otherwise ruining the property.

Great Japanese Tidal
 Wave.
Further Particulars of the AW-
 full Disaster.
Thousands Of Lives Lost and an immense Destruction of
 Valuable Property.

VANCOUVER, B. C., July 2.-The steamer Empress of China arrived last night with Yokohama news to June Is. Regarding the recent earthquake wave the Yokohama Mail has the following: It will be some time doubtless before full particulars reach TOkio of the cruel disaster that has overtaken the people living along the coast of Rik- uzen and Rikuchu Between 8 and S:2O D. m. on the 18th violent sismic disturbance occurred in the ocean that bathes the northeastern coast of the main island. Accounts thus far re- ceived place the center of disturbance in the vicinity of the celebrated island of KinkwaZan.
 Following the coast fine northward from Kinkwazan we find these reports from various places. On the beach of Onogawa Futahama many lives were lost, animals destroyed and houses in undated, but no definite numbers stated.
 At Washigami forty houses were de- stroyed and there were several deaths
 At Okatsu fifty persons were killed and thirty houses washed away. The prison doors were thrown open and several prisoners are supposed to be lost as well as some of the wardens. Quantities of mail matter were swept away.
 At Motoyoshi or Shizzukawa eighty houses were swept away. Seventy two corpses have been recovered up to 1 p. m. on the 18th.
 At Kamaishi over one-haif of the town was swept away and many per sons and animals killed. The tele- graph office was washed away.
 At Miyayo there was much injury to life and property.
 At Kuji the same fate as above
 At Hachinoye Minato eleven persons were killed and two missing School buildings were destroyed and bridges swept away.
 Some accounts speak vaguely of a thousand lives lost and 800 houses swept away on the coast of Oj1ka and Motoyoshi alone, but that seems to be exaggeration. One statement is to the effect that there were thirteen shocks in the neighborhood of Ishi- maxi, but they must have been com paratively slight. Undoubtedly thert
 
 property and large tracts of rice fields have been inundated and destroyed.
 Following are further details re garding the damage done and lives los through the tidal wave: OnanImura Motoyshi district, buildings swep away ninety; deaths, 400. Hashizam Mura, buildings swept away, 800 deaths, 400; wounded, 100. Koidzum Mnra, deaths, 1,450. Utatsu Mura Motoyshi district, buildings swep away, 600, there being absolutely noth ing left; deaths, 600; wounded, z5C Okachihama Mono district, building swept away, 40; deaths, 31; wounded 50. In the three districts of Motoyoshi Ojika and Mono, in Miyagi prefecture there was most disastrous damage don by the tidal wave during the night o the 10th inst. Motoyoshi alone na' 1,030 deaths and 56O buildings washe, away

Conference With Harrity
 Unsatisfactory.
He Will Aid the Cold Men All He Can.
Secret Action of the National Com- mittee to Be in the Nature
 of Snap.

CHICAGO, July 2-The silver dele gation is far from satisfied with the re- suit of the conference of their commit tee with Chairman Harrity and mem- bers Of the National eXecu iv, commit tee.
 The result of the conference was al- most nothing and the silver men left ths room feeling that their labor had been practically in vain ]n the ah- sence of any definite assusa1:re from Mr. Ts.;rity they are inelinel to ,he opiuion that there is disp ,s:::cn, l: not a determination, on the part .::ss the National committee to select ail anti silYer man for chairman and to post. poae the announcement of the selection unti; the very eve of the convention. Senator Blackburn of ka1trckT i5 I'a;nQrg the recent arrivals. He was in conference during the greater part of the day With silver delegates From aiH parts of the country. Colonel Phil Thompson who accompanied Senator Blackburn, says the senator will un- questionably be placed in nomination. | Comptroller Eckels of the treasury department said today that he expect I ed MT. Whitney and others of the anti silver wing of the party on Friday. MT. Eckels thinks after that time the | complexion of the sentiment will change somewhat, and thai the silver people will not have so complete com mand of the situation as they now ap- pear to have.
 MT. Whitney is regarded as the lead CT of the gold forces and they expect to muster formidable array of distin- guished men who will assist him in his efforts to prevent the party throwing itself entirely upon the white metal side of the controversy. Asked if the gold men would bolt the convention in case positive pronouncement for free silver is made, MT. Eckels expressed
 the opinion that there would be no open bolt, but he said there would be a defection at the polls which it would be impossible to prevent Of the rank
 and file of the party if the convention
 insisted on overturning Fl Democratic precedents

CHICAGO, July 2.-The announce ment that eastern gold standard lead CTS, William c. Whitney and others. would arrive here tomorrow has put some heart into the gold standard men who are here.

A conference of the gold standard men is called for tomorrow night and it is expected that a policy will be mapped out at that time.

ney,
September 4, 1896.
The above named parties having ask

made against them, and the same hav-
ing been investigated: The Commit
tee regret their inability to exonerate
the said parties upon the evidence pre-
sented; and without determining that
they are guilty, the said Committee
are of the opinion that the evidence
which they have carefully considered,
leaves grounds for such grave suspi-

schools under their charge to request
the resignation Of said teachers.
The committee was in secret session

yesterday. Mayor Russ was in the
chair.
1t was not until after six o'clock
