TEXAS POPULISTS so MAD
That They Will Even Fuse With Gold
Democrats and Mckinley Men.

St. Louis, Sept. 10.-A special to the
Post-Dispatch from Fort Worth, Tex,
says: 1.-THE Republican state conven-
tion convened at 10 o'clock this morn
ing with a full representation of dele
gates present.
The credentials committee reported
forty contests, all of which were adjust
ed amicably to both sides. The COM
mittee on resolutions recommended the
appointment of a committee of three
with plenary power to confer with
similar committee of gold standard
Democrats and Popuhsts looking to an
amicable division of congressman from
various Texas districts. The Populists
are enthusiastic over the matter. The
coalition is already practically settled
At noon Hon. H. B. -Kain of Pales-
tine, an original Mckinley man, was
elected permanent chairman of the con-
vention. At this time the indications
are that E. H. r. Green will be selected
unanimously for governor, which is in
tended to result in a harmonizing of all
factions of the party. 1t means that
the Lily White state ticket nominated
yesterday will be pulled down and all
factions will get together for Mckinley
and Hobart. The indications are that
the convention will adjourn tonight. The
results of the convention thus far vir-
tually shelve Quincy and Grant.

the strong arm Of the law today. He

him, but as he had no attorney, Judge
Hazen postponed the hearing until next

WANT TO STOP IT.
Bank of England Takes Per-
emptOry Steps
To Prevent Further Gold Ship
ments to America.
RATE OF DISCOUNT
Raised to 2 1-2 Per Cent Yes
terday-May Go Higher.
Stock Markets In Both COun-
tries FIattened Out.
ONLY so MUCH GOLD
To Be Had and When a Wild
Scramble
For 1t Begins 1t Makes All Mar
kets Shaky.

New York, Sept. 1O.-The action Of
the Bank of England in advancing it's
minimum rate of discount u per cent
to 21z per cent. thereby initiating
against prospective gold imports to this
country, together with lower London
prices has greatly affected stocks.
CabIed advices are that the action of
the Bank of England in advancing the
discount rate was attended by depres-
sion in securities generally, including
the international stocks.
London, Sept. 1O-The Evening Stand
ard this afternoon says that on account
of the unexpected raising of the bank
rate from ? to 21b per cent, the first time
since February p, 1894, there has been
a change which foreshadows further
gold Withdrawals and has created con-
sidera bic surprise on the stock ex-
change. The markets, in consequence,
The Evening Standard adds, were all
fiat. In conclusion The Evening Stand
ard remarks; 1T is too early to see the
effect of the advance
The Pail Mall Gazette says: '@Unless
the bank has information which is not
generally known, the position surely
seemed to warrant an advance in the
bank rate. However moderate the ad-
vance, the act of warning at the pres
ent low value of money can not last
forever, and it is probably better to
have the official rate raised by easy
stages, as a precautionary measure,
than to postpone it until bigger ad-
vance is necessary when a panic
might have easily resulted.
1T is possible that the directors may
foresee the necessity of advancing the
bank rate to 3 per cent
The Westminster Gazette says that
the advance of the bank rate was pure
ly a precautionary measure, evident
from the bank returns showing the
reserve to be about the same as
on the corresponding date of 1895.
The Westminster Gazette adds:
1T is generally recognized in the mar
ket that the action of the directors was
wise and hopes are entertained that it
will check somewhat the export of gold
The advance had an adverse effect on
the stock exchange, but it is not likely
to be permanent unless the withdrawal
of gold continues to such an extent as
to force a more appreciable advance of
the bank rate.
Americans opened weak and have
further fallen, owing to the idea that
the advance may check the outflow of
gold to the United States. The with
drawals of gold from the Bank of Eng
land today were 1886 900 in American
eagles and $50, 900 in bars, a total of
&456 OOO

ST. JOHN TALKED OF.
He May Be Candidate for Governor
of Kansas.

There have been rumors in circuIa-
ton for several days at Olathe, Ottawa
and other points in the state that John
P st. John is to be brought out by the
prohibition Republicans as a candidate
for governor. In their indignation, the
old friends of St. John are again turn
ing toward their former leader to come
and lead them again. 1t is argued
that ST. John has lost none of his pop
ularity with the masses of the prohibi-
ton Republicans, who still love to hear
his voice and listen to his eloquence-
St. John himself has not spoken on
the subject It is more than likely he
would decline the honor, although it
would afford him the greatest oppor-
tunity of his life to get even" with
some of his old enemies. A prominent
politician made an estimate that St.
john might poll as high as $4,000 or
20 900 votes in this state.

GRAIN MEN SUE.
Violation of the Interstate Commerce
Law Alleged in U. S. Court Here.

The strained relations existing for a
long time btween the Kansas City
grain merchants, elevator and milling
men and the railroads has eliminated
in open warfare. G. F. Hutchings, one
of the attorneys for the grain men has
filed in the circuit court of the United
States in this city two bills in equity,
one against the AtchisOn, Topeka &,
Santa Fe Railway company and the
other against the Missouri Pacific rail-
way company, charging said companies
with fragrant violation of the interstate
commerce act, and asking for an i'm
junction and other relief.
The bills of complaint are vo1uminOus.
They are brought in behalf of about
fifty corporations and partnerships
engaged in the grain, elevator and mill
ing business in Kansas City, Kan, and
are signed by Messrs. Hutchings &

CYCLONE IN PARIS.
Many Persons Injured and Much De-
struction of Property.

Paris, Sept. 1O.-A violent cyclone
swept over portions of this city at 2:3O
p. m. today. Omnibuses, cabs, and
stalls in the streets were overturned,
trees were blown down, store windows
called out.
Many persons were injured on the
Rue Turbigo Place de la Republique,
the Place St. Sulpice and the Boulevard
St Martin.
The greatest damage was done at the
Palais de Justice. All the windows on
the Rue de Haley side were smashed,
part of the roof was blown away and
the corridors were filled with clouds of
dust and branches of trees. The sit
tings of the court had to be suspended.

Governor James A Troutman was pres
ident of the union, the executive COM
mittee sent forth a. New Years address
which contained the following signih-
cant utterance: We ask nothing of
political parties as such, except the rec
ognition of prohibition as the accepted
and unchallenged policy of the state.
Those who antagonize US we shall op-
pose- We shall stand by those who
stand by US
"And I want to tell you that during
the past four years and a half the State
Temperance union has not SO hopeless
ly degenerated as to have lost all its
convictions. We do not propose to throw
our influence in favor of any party
which indorses a policy of nullifca-
tion.'
But suppose the proposed coalition
does not materialize?''
Then personally I believe that as a
protest every temperance man of every
party should vote for either Hurley or
Douthard. He can vote for the ball
ance of his party ticket, and for such
presidential electors as he chooses, but
in Kansas the enforcement of the law
ought to be the paramount Issue. Dur
ing the past six months every leading
and self-respecting Republican editor in
Kansas has spoken out in terms of the
most unqualified disapprovaI of the null
LITIGATION policy of the present admins
tration, and almost every church de-
most vigorously, and 1 do not believe
nomination in Kansas has protested
in a nscience-stultifying policy that
will permit a backing down from these
protests. What does a protest amount
to, anyway. if put only in words? Pol
iticians do not care a straw for pamby-
namby resolution protests, but they do
have some regard for ballot protest.
PERSONALLY, you can quote me if you
choose as favorable to this movement.
What position the union will take I
cannot say. The executive committee
have not all been heard from yet. AS
individuals think most of them favor
it, and everywhere I go I am surprised
at the number of Republicans who are
expressing their determination to
scratch the head of the ticket.
Much as the State Temperance
union needs money to carry on its work,
we don't propose to sell ourselves out
body and soul to any man or set of men,
or stultify our consciences, or sacrifice
one iota of principle. We are in this
work for the sole purpose of preSerV-
ing as far as we are able the sobriety
and happiness of 200, GOO Kansas homes
and the high moral character and pros
perity of our people so far as temper
ance has anything to do with these mat
terS. -

Mr. Gemmell hs been a sufferer for
