The sensational speeches produced
sadness, not applause. There was no

an effort was made to prevent stem

Mr.. Teller having presented to the
committee proposition for the free
financial plank proposed by the sub
committee to the whole committee,
spoke in part as follows:
Mr. Chairman. The Importance of

have done that too, not from a parti-

tographer reared his camera on the
edge of the platform. and during the
prayer which followed while the gall
laries and delegates were Comparative
ly quiet, he managed to secure pho
tograph.
1t was half past 10 when in response
to the gavels rap the delegates arose
for prayer. The officiating minister
was Dr. John A. Scott of Jacksonville
TIA. the second cOlOred pastor who has
conducted the devotional prelude. AL
though DR.. Scott's voice was a strong
one. so great was the confusion of en-
terLng delegates and spectators it could
be told only from the movement of the
minister's lips that he was praying.
Then the first opportunity for the
delegates to use their voices fresh after
q nights rest, was afforded when Chair
man Ihurston, without any prelim-
inaries plunged into business by an
nouncing that the first thing on the
programme was the report of the com

Every effort was made yesterday af-
ternoon at St. Louis to suppress the
speeches of the silver delegates who
withdrew from the Republican party
at the session Of the committee on reso-
lutions. Even reporters and CORES
pondents were driven out of the hall
way adjoining the committee room for
fear that they would overhear the i'm
passioned speeches of the free silver
orators. Notwithstanding this. the As
sociated Press obtained very complete
reports of what was said, which it wir-
ed to all its papers including the State
Journal and the Capital
The full speeches came too late last
night for the State Journal which last
evening gave the Associated Press day
report of the meeting.

the matter. 50 far as Topeka and kan

THE request from Secretary
Olney that Great Britain watch
over the interests of Americans in
Transvaal has been regarded, in
England, as a peace offering from
the United States and will have a
beneficial effect in the settlement
of the Venezuelan affair. The pa
triots who had begun to figure on
the bombardment of New York,
Boston and other Atlantic ports of
the United States are now devot-
ing their energies in advocating
various schemes whereby possible
differences growing out of Mr..
Cleveland's assertion of the Mon
roe doctrine, may be overcome by
arbitration. Allowing that Great
Britain is in a position to contend
successfully with the whole world
if worst comes to worst, it is re-
treshlng at least to- note the readl-
ness with which this so-called olive
branch is recognized and the '@reci-
procity Of friendship" asserted,
Meanwhile the American commits
sion is going quietly forward with
the work of investigation and the
disposition of Congress to prevent
any land grabbing scheme con-
tinues as firm as ever.
