rivalry seemed to exist between the

Difference Between Bimctallists
and Free Silverites.

London, July 13.-At a meeting Of the
bi-metallic League held here today an
address was delivered by Prof. Francis
a. Walker, the American political econ
omlst and superintendent of the census
of the United States Of 1870 and 1885,
Prof. Walker was cheered as he rose
and was frequently interrupted by
bursts of applause. He declared that
no gold monometallist party existed in
the United States and said that he
would stake his money that II a BIZ
the United States by the principal
sound money men of Europe the Amer
leans would tumble head over heels in
welcoming the proposal.
Senator Gray, Prof. Walker, said,
would find very few men to join him in
opposition to proposal for a common
ratio between gold and silver. What
the silverites really desired he con-
tinued, was a silver imitation. Widely
separated from those men were the
real bime ,allists CT the United States.
Nothing Prof. Walker declared. could
be more unfounded than to say that
the Republican National convention
held In St. Louis, had pronounced in
favor Of gold monometallisnl Mr.. Nc
Kiney. he said. had never been a gold
monometallist. He could not be one II
he tried. He had always been uniform
ly a bimetallist. The maintenance Of
gold standard in the United States
was not rendered a whit less secure
by reason of anything that was done
at the convention held IN Chicago. but
despite much friendly advice from this
side of the ocean, the United States
were not going to pull other peoples
chestnuts out of the fire and would re-
main devoted to the rehabilitation Of
silver as a money metal and always
ready to make sacrifices to that end
The bonds of the United States he
added, would continue to be paid In

Of the United States would continue
to be as high as it had ever been since
she had triumphantly vindicated her
nationality in the war Of secession.
Prof. Walker was vociferously applaud
ed as he resumed his seat at the close
Of his address.

MO2ELAND PLEADS GUILTY.
Sensational Turn in the Pittsburg
Misrepresentation Of Funds Case.

MisappropriatiOn Of Funds Case.
Pittsburg. July 13.-The second trial
Of eX-City Attorney w. c. Moreland and
his assistant, w. II. House, Charged with
misappropriating money said to right
fully belong to the city Of Pittsburg,
was called in quarter sessions court to-
day before Judges Porter and Kennedy.
Messrs. Moreland and House had been
Jointly indicted for embezzlement.
The amount specifically stated on the
nine counts presented today, was
$26,65274 and covers the last four
years Of official acts of the defendants.
The first trial of defendants was had in
February last and resulted in acquittal.
They then answered the charge Of de-
posting city funds for private gain in
the Tradesmen's National bank.
Every seat in the court room was
occupied long before the case was called.
Mr.. House occupied a seat at the at
torneys table, but Major Moreland was
not present. When Mr.. Moreland was
called upon to enter his plea, Harry
Goehring, representing counsel for
Moreland, addressed the court saying:
May it please your honors, we wish
to enter plea of guilty for Mr. More
land" The court accepted the plea and
the attorneys quickly LEFT the room.
The totally unexpected development
caused a sensation.
The trial of Mr.. House was immedi-
atcly taken up. Mr.. House entered a
plea of not guilty. The selection of a
jury occupied the time of court until the
noon recess.
The attorney for Moreland was seen
at his private law Office but refused to
talk for publication. His bond will be
renewed at once. The maximum penal
ty attached to Major Moreland's crime
is five years imprisonment or fine cover
ing the amount Of the city's claim
against him.

Indianapolis. July 13.-The statement
is made tonight by friend of ex-Presi-
dent Harrison that he will make num-
ber of speeches for the gold standard
In the coming campaign and that he will
enter upon his labors as soon as he re-
turns from his eastern trip. According
to these statements he will confine his
speeches solely to the money question,
will avoid everything of partisan
character and will permit no demonstra-
ton whatever In his honor.
Though he will be under the direction
of the Republican national committee
and will speak at places designated by
that body, he will not speak as Repub-
lican, but as gold standard man, and
his appeals will be to that class alone.
The plan of his campaign includes
only the border southern states, such as
Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, West
Virginia and one or two others, where
the Democrats have a ma jority or where
there is pronounced gold sentiment.

A Farmer who Didn't Like the Chi.
cagO Platform Had to Fight.

Lexington, KY, July 13.-The first
tragedy of the year growing out of the
presidential question occurred at Cave
City. In Barron county, last evening.
Will McClanahan shot and killed John
Grimes. Both are farmers and also
Democrats. McClanahan declared that
he would not support the ticket named
by the Chicago convention, and was not
backward in giving his reasons.
Grimes became angry over the con-
troversy, and attacked McClanahan
with large knife. McClanahan tried
to avoid an encounter. but Grimes
seemed bent on trouble. and in self-pro-
lection McClanahan drew his gun and
fired, fatally wounding his opponent.
Both are young men and prominent in
city politics. McClanahan gave himself
up, but is out on bonds. Local senti-
ment is against Grimes.
