improved channel is now completed
from the head of navigation down to

the removal of one rock ledge, which
will be done next year.
In Pawtucket river 2,034 cubic yards

work yet to be done is to straighten
the channel from the lower part of the

of forty feet.
In Providence river and Narragan-

He Appears to be Both Figuratively and
Literally.

New York, July 21.-Senator David
B. Hill arrived In the city to-day from
Normandie- by-the-Sea He was ac-
companied by General Ferdinand p
Earle, Colonel John F. Gaynor and his
private secretary. Senator Hill declar-
ed that he had nothing whatever to say
with regard to the political situation.
He added that he was going away on a
yachting cruise as the guest of Colonel
Jacob Rupert on the latter's steam
yacht Albatross. He could not say
how long the cruise would last At it's
termination, he said, he would return
to Normandie-by-th the Sea, where he
would probably remain until about the
time of the democratic state conven-
tion.

this afternoon and the vessel started
up the sound. The destination of the

About fifteen minutes We're required

Probable Platform.

ST. Louis, July 21.-It is probable the
platform of the silver convention to be
adopted tomorrow will consist of q
declaration of principles demanding a
restoration of the former metallic mon
ey-gold and silver. Unless the pro-
gram is changed this declaration will
be worded as follows:
Be 1t resolved, that over and above
all other questions of policy we are in
favor of restoring to the people of
the United States the time honored
money of the constitution-gold and
silver-not one, but both-the money
of Washington and Hamilton and JEFF
ferson and Monroe and Jackson and
Lincoln, to the end that the American
people may receive honest pay for an
honest product; the American debtor
pays his just obligations In honest
standard and not in a standard that Is
appreciated 100 per cent above all the
great staples Of our country, and to the
end, further, that silver standard coun-
tries may be deprived of the unjust ad-
vantage they now enjoy in the differ
ence in exchange between gold and sill
ver--an advantage which tariff legis-
lation alone cannot overcome.
We, therefore, confidently appeal to
the people of the United States to leave
in allegiance for the moment all other
questions, however important and mo-
mentous they appear to sunder, If need
be, all former party ties and atfilia-
| tions and unite in one supreme effort
to free themselves and children from
the domination of the money power
a power more destructive than any
which has ever been fastened upon the
civilized men of any race or in any
age.
The present intention is to supple
ment this by an address to the Ameri-
can. people, which Is now being pre-
pared. Senator Jones of Nevada is the
guiding spirit in its construction.

How 1t Looked At Midnight.

st. Louis, July 21.-At a late hour
tonight it looks as though the popu-

with certain modification intended to
make it conform more nearly to the
views of the delegates.

st. Louis, July 21-At the meeting of
the populist national committee here
to-day there were but two contests of
Importance, those from Colorado and
Illinois. The former involves the en-
tire state delegation; the latter the
twentyseven delegates from Cook
county, or Chicago. The Colorado con-
testants were headed by Ex-Governor
Waite, but he having declared in favor
of Bryan's nomination, his colleagues
deposed him for another leader.
In the matter of temporary chairman
the two candidates were General James
B. Weaver of Iowa, who represented
the Bryan and Sewall element, and
Senator Marion Butler of North Caro-
lima, who was opposed to the endorse
ment of the democratic ticket.
After the matter of membership of
the committee itself had been deter
mined the committee proceeded to con-
slider applications by number of the
states for increased representation in
the convention. A number of addition
al delegates were allowed to various
states, Texas securing an increase of
five. The several territories were al
lowed six delegates instead of four.
oklahoma was given the same right Of
representation as the state, that is, one
delegate for it's delegate in congress
and one for each 1000 votes, which
made It's total representation nine. A
recess was then taken.
The national committee of the silver
party met this morning, but after a
brief session a recess was taken until
/ o'clock, when a secret session was
held George p. Keeney of California
presided Among those present were
Joseph Sheldon of New Haven, Conn,
and Joseph Battell of Vermont.
One of the features of the afternoon
session of the committee was a speech
by Mr.. Battell. He created considera-
BILE enthusiasm when he asserted that
the farmers of Vermont were in open
revolt The great majority, he said,
cannot be induced to go into the deiil4
ocratic party, but he predicted that
MANY of the number would support
Bryan and Sewall because of their be-
lief in silver He asserted that the
Vermont republican state committee
was astounded at the attitude assumed
by the republican farmers. and that
they were uncertain what course to
pursue.
Mr.. Foster, of Oregon, speaking to
the proposition that it was essential
that the silver party should continue
its organization as an independent po-
litical body, with which republicans
and democrats could both unite in sup
port of free silver, asserted that Bryan
and Sewall would carry Oregon by a
majority of at least 10000
A special committee. consisting of
Senator Jones of Nevada and Messrs.
Stevens of Colorado, Baker of Cali
fornia, Thompson of Washington, and
Devine of Nebraska, was appointed to
draft an address to the public calling
upon all friends of silver to support
Bryan and Sewall.

Looks Like Murder.

On the 10th OF this month ne
gro named Jacques Comeau was
found dead on the railroad track
near Duchamp's station with his
head crushed to a jelly.
The first impression was that
the negro was killed by a train,
but at the inquest the nature of
the wound was such as to leave
great doubt as to the instrument
of death, and suspicion of foul
play was firmly impressed on the
minds of those who witnessed the
inquest.
Ever since that day Sheriff Rees
and his deputies have been quiet
ly at work on the case, and this
week was rewarded in the arrest
of several persons who, according
to all indications, have participa-
ted in the crime.
Those arrested are: John Read,
accused of having committed the
crime, and Anais Ransom, his
wife, Richard Lee and Frank
Francis, accomplices.
The sheriff has also arrested Sc
veral other persons, men and wo-
men as witnesses.
Since the arrest of those named
above, who are all negroes, Frank
Francis, who is an old man has
confessed that John Read did the
killing of Jacques Comeau with q

(Francis) to help him place the
body of the dead man on the rail.

The old negro says he was com.

and threatened with death if he
refused, and also threatened with
his life if a word regarding this
crime escaped his lips.

The Dawn of Prosperity.

Clevelandism has received to-

the hands of the highest tribunal
in the land, and one, the result OF
which will be one of JOY to many |
homes and hearts in our State,
while it is a harbinger of turn
in the tide of the evil days for
Louisiana, and marks the dawn OF
prosperity for the people.
BY an unanimous concurrence
the Supreme Court of the United
States has pronounced constitu-
tional the Sugar Bounty Act,
which decision not only vindicates
the policy of Mckinley, but con-
dems the conduct of those party
statesmen who have brought ruin
upon our nation to overturning
the American principles he so
ably and grandly represents.
And the people of Louisiana,
for this law more especially con-
cerned them alone, owe it to Re-
publican court that they are saved
from the disasters of pernicious
Democratic legislation!
Among those who championed
our ruin were those who claimed
to represent our interest and were
chosen by our votes to act for us

Recognition of Cuban Belll-

The following was introduced
in the House of Representatives,
of our General Assembly, yester-
day.
"Be it resolved, By the Senate
and House of Representatives OF
the State of Louisiana, that we
extend our sympathy to the Gu
ban people in their struggle for
freedom and independence, and
we request the Congress and Pre-
sident of these United States to
grant belligerent rights to the Gu
ban republic, and ask our Sena-
tors and Representatives III Con-
gress to urge the President toward
securing the same, and that the
Secretary of State be instructed
to transmit copy of these reso-
lutions to the President and our
Senators and Representatives In

| The Item hopes this resolution
will pass without delay. The
brave Cubans deserve every sym.

at by the above.
