dorsement of senator Teller.

of series of conferences between
committees appointed by the seeding
silver men of the recent republican ma
tional convention and a committee
composed of prominent pOpulists, an
address was issued Saturday from the
headquarters of the peoples party ma
tional committee in this city, advising
populists throughout the country to
make Henry NJ. Teller, of Colorado,
their national standard-bearer. The
address says in part, after noticing the
"boss in politics.
One man. the perfection OF his type repre-
senting the millionaires, the banks, the cor
porations, the trusts, and every other remorsc-
less and plutOcratfc element in our country'S
life. has through the power of money, die
tated the nomination of Mckinley and shaped
the platform of his party
In view Of the shameless submission by tho
republican convention to the most extreme de-
mands ever made upon Americans by the
money power. every thought and effort of
American manhood should, from this hour,
tend toward creation and cementing a union
between those who would resist the onspiracy
OF wholesale robbery and grinding opprcs-
sion
The address then goes on to tell of
Senator Teller's merits and says he is
lone upon whom all populists may con-
sistently unite"

Taubeneck, of Illinois; L. T.. Sanley,
of Kansas; F. ID. Eager and J. A Edger-

Between that point and the mainland
of France is a line of islands, in
Guiding Molene and Le ConQuet, con-
nected by ridges of rocks. At differ
ent places there are riffs through
which vessels can pass with safety,
but between Ushant and Molene is q
sunken reef. with deep water on both
sides. Suddenly and without warning
the vessel struck this ridge. SO as to
tear a big rent in her bottom from
stem to stern, thus filing all her water
tight compartments almost immedi-
ately and sending her to the bottom
on the other side of the reef, in about
three minutes Only two boats were
lowered after the vessel struck. One
of these capsized and only three men
were saved out of the 237 people on
board. The British second-class cruiser
SybelIe, which was off Ushant at the
time. heard the signals of distress and
sent boats to the rescue of those on
board the sinking vessel, but without

Meantime men, women and children
from the pit to the last tiers of tho
galleries had climbed upon their chairs.

aisle dozen silver colleagues rose and
followed them. On each side of this
aisle the delegates were facing 1t,
all standing on their chairs AS the
file of stern faced men marched
along the long pathway to the door q

other outbreak of the day paled into
silence. 1t was q shout in which ad

were Joined. The band in the highest
gallery broke into the tumult, but its
brazen clangor made no impression on
the vocal storm and was drowned in it

state of New York and her favorite
son will be presented by her other IA
vorite son-that citizen of all the
states of the union-Chauncey M. De-
pew" Great enthusiasm was mani
tested by the convention on this an
nouncement, during which Mr.. Depew
proceeded to the platform and pre-
sented the name of Gov. Morton.
When Mr.. Depew had concluded his
speech nominating Gov. Morton, of
New York, the secretary resumed the
calling of the roll. There was no re-
