In the chamber Of deputies vote
Of confidence was given the French
ministry Of 326 to 13. This was on the
appeal Of the cabinet from the vote Of
no confidence of 15S to IS given by the
senate the other day. This result
leaves the matter in mixed light,
the cabinet having the confidence of
one house, but not Of the other. The
minister Of finance has interpreted the
situation unfavorably, and resigned.

Have HIM ANYHOW
APPOINTMENT POpulist Says Tel
Ter Will Be Candidate.
If Democrats Don't Nominate
Him Free Silver Men Will.
POPS WILL JOIN IN.
Will IndOrse Teller and Name a
POpulist Vice President.
This Plan Said to Have Been
Agreed Upon.

St Louis, July I've have nothing
against Mr.. Bland personally, but if he
is nominated he will not get the sup
port of the Peoples party, or OF the
silver party, outside of the Democratic
lines" said Sergeant-at-Arns NIcDow-
ell Of the Peoples party, in an inter-
view today
I am positive that no Democrat can
secure the POpulist vote this fall, and
that a large majority of our people
viii either indOrse or nominate Senator
Teller for the presidency. AS the indie
pendent silver men, including those
who recently walked out of the Re
publican national convention, will al
ready have nominated Senator Teller,
he will at once become a powerful can
didate, backed by the full strength of
the Peoples party and the silver
party"
But" repeated the reporter, cit has
been stated that Senators Dubois, Pet
tiSreW and others favor Bland if they
cannot get Teller, and that Teller him
self has declared his intention of TAX
ing the stump for Bland if the latter is
nominated
Don't you believe a word of it, an
swered the TennesSeean. Senator
Teller sent no such intimatiOn, and
neither Dubois nor Cannon nor Petit
grew nor Mantle nor any other of the
boiling Republican silver men will
support Bland. How can they? They
are honorable gentlemen, and all have
their positive pledge that the sole OBJ
ject of their mission to Chicago is to
secure Teller's nomination. Failing
that, they will come to st. Louis and
at the silver convention which will be
held on the 22d, at the same time as our
own, but in a different building, they
will nominate Teller by acclama ton.
Then they will, I presume, send US a
request for a conference. The result
viii be, as I have already said the in
dorsement of the nomination by US of
Senator Teller.
THE agreement to this effect is as
binding as any compact among honor
able men could be. It was first dis
cussed in Washington. It was actually
made on the evening of the walk-Out
of Senator Teller and his fellow silver
Republicans from the ST. Louis con-
ventiOn. At this meeting Senators Du-
bOis, PettigreW, Cannon, Mantle and
others spoke for the silver men. The
Peoples party was represented by Ma
tiOnal Chairman Taubeneck, Mr.. Davis
of Texas, Mr.. Patterson of the Rocky
Mountain News, Denver, Colo; DR..
Taylor of Illinois and myself
For vice president we can nominate
a straightOut Populist, and the only
to be A L. Mons of Dawson county
Tennessee, a strong man in every way
eligible.
with such a ticket we will carry, be-
yond all doubt Texas. Alabama, GeOr-
gia, North Carolina, Tennessee and a
number of western states and terrific
ries, besides making a big fight in
many other states
There is every indication that the
Populist convention alone will bring
80, 600 to st. Louis

LEADERS ARRIVE IN HALL.
Jerry Simpson Has a Good Seat to
View the Proceedings.

Chicago, July 7.-One Of the first lead
ers to enter the convention hall was
Senator Jones of Arkansas. He stood
at the staff of his state, greeting all
who approached him cordially and good
naturedly, seemingly cool and unruf-
fed, as he surveyed the field and
viewed the first clash of the battle
which was soon to begin. Governor
AItgeld came over and held an earn
est consultation with the leader of the
silver forces.
Senator CocBrelI of Missouri, one of
the managers of the Bland boom, who
looks like an animated Uncle Sam, and
who is affectiOnately known in his own
state as "Old Garden Sass" the poorest
man in the United States, so people
say. with his colleague, Senator White
of California, were the next prominent
arrivals. Senator Harris, the famous
Tennesseean, who rules the senate with
a rod of iron and who has been the
most conspicuous man in Tennessee for
forty years, came in hot and perspiring
after his tussle with the minions of the
law at the entrance.
At 11:50 one of the Bland bands en-
tered the south entrance playing
Dixie" This caused the first burst
of enthusiasm and the air was greeted
with a Whirl of cheers. When the air
was shifted to "Columbia'' the huZzas
were renewed. The pit was sOlidly
filled, but it was generally remarked
that the eastern DELEGATES were ex-
noon when the first Empire state dele
gate took his seat in the person of
Frederick r Coudert and ex-NIayor
Grant, a combination of the reform
and Tammany Democracy.
Among the silver Republicans and
Populist leaders who We're in places Of
advantage to watch the proceedings
was Jerry Simpson, the sage of NIedi-
cine Lodge. The large number of Ia
dies present was very noticeable. Their
bright dresses added color to the bril-
Hancy OF the animated scene which
stretched away from the speakers
platform. An enthusiastic Boies man
carried a Boies banner through the
aisles in the delegates pit, but there
was no answer to this suggestion for
demonstration in favor of the Iowa
candidate.
Shortly after u o'clock Mr. Whitney
and Mr.. Hill walked up the center
aisle, followed by most of the New
York delega ton, but the great Empire
state delegation, which is usually re-
ceived with salvOs of cheers in a Demo-
cratic convention, took their places in
silence
Governor Russell and the Massachu-
sets delegation, in which was George
Fred Williams, the free silver defend
er, followed, and, like the New York
delegation, did not raise a cry.

lower for September at 55a4 @7sc. But
there were continued reports of light

damage reports from the Dakotas and
a better demand sprang up, all offer
ings being readily absorbed, September
advancing steadily to 563sc.
CORN-Corn was readily Influenced
by the firmness displayed by wheat.
Opening a shade lower at 267s 627c on
heavy local receipts, Septem Der soon
turned firm and advanced with fair
trading to 2714c.
OATS-Oats were quiet, but firmer

with wheat and corn. September

WILL NOT BOLT.
New Hampshire Won't Nor Any 9th
ers It is Said.

Chicago, July THE New Hamp-
shire delegation held a caucus this
morning to discuss the outlook for the
gold faction in the convention. The
whole sentiment of the delegation was
against the bolt in any contingency.
The question was not seriously con-
sidered. National Committeeman Sui
loway said after the meeting: I'VE
New Hampshire men have not the
slightest intention of leaving the con-
vention under any circumstances. These
rumors that the eastern delegates may
bolt are utterly foolish. I do not be-
lieve there is a single delegate who in
tends to bolt It is much easier to get
out of the party than it is to get back
into it, and eastern Democrats will not
get OUT

HILL-WHITNEY RIVALRY.
Evidence That the Ex-Secretary Has
Been Turned Down.

New York, July THE news was
telegraphed east last evening that Mr.
Whitney had been turned down and
Senator Hill substituted for leader of
the New York delegation. There were
rumors before that of disagreements
between the two men, but they were
not taken seriously till today. Now
Senator Hill is exerting himself to get
all the glory which belonged to Whit
ney.
The Sun contains a three column arti-
Gle by telegraph from Chicago in which
the senator and his leadership are
chrOnicled in extravagant terms. The
senator has also turned correspondent
himself and is writing a daily special
to the World. His written and spoken
statements do not agree and it is evil
dent he is playing politics for all he is
worth.
The senator is not held by real gold
men to be properly representative of
New York ser timent. The Evening
Post, the Mail and Express and the
Times attack him for his pretensions,
and the gold men generally repudiate
his financial views as being too mild to
suit them

BICYCLISTS STRIKE.
Riders Refuse to Ride Because Their
Clothing Was ReckIessIy Used.

There was a strike at the fair
grounds last night participated in by
the 25 bicycle riders who are to take
part in the exposition races this week.
The atmosphere was blue for several
minutes, and could the guilty parties
have been found there would undoubt-
eddy have been trouble.
1t appears that 2 party of horsemen
from Kansas City came to Topeka with
their stock yesterday and went out to
the fair grounds to secure quarters
One of the stalls near the grand stand,
in which the bicycle boys kept their
articles of wear, was taken possession
of along with others, and the bicycle
clothing wantonly thrown in a heap
on the ground.
When the bicyclists went to the
grounds to practice last night they
found their sweaters, shoes and other
paraphernalia scattered on the
ground. Many of the articles had been
stolen during the afternoon. A strike
from all practice was at once declared
and President Foster of the exposition
board telephoned for. When Mr.. Fos-
ter arrived the situation was explain
ed, and he assured the bicyclists that
all loss sustained by the action of the
horsemen would be borne by the board
and the articles replaced today. This
was satisfactory to the bicycle boys
and their regular evening work was
gone through with

Lawrence, July General Cameron
has about concluded that there is not a
large host of virtuous young men in
this county He invited all such to par
ticipate with him in a celebration of
the Fourth. but not a single one showed
up. There were a few of the neighbor
women who came and assisted the
general in raising the flag, but that
was all.
As the ladies pulled the flag to its
place General Cameron was impulsed to
say: Does this star pangIed banner
wave over this cline, where woman is
held as guilty of crime, as chattel as
child, as a convict for treason, as rebel
as feIOn without warrant or reason ?
Does the eagle. the emblem of liberty

soon be overtaken, for the truth must
