About 100 Friends of the White Metal
Present Yesterday.

Washington, Jan. 22.About hum
dred silver men We're present at to-
days conference held at Wizards Hall
under the auspices Of the American
Bi-Metallic League. Gen. A. j. War
ner presided, and in calling the con-
yention to order, said that the time
had come for action. There was no
hope of winning the fight in detach-
ments of inside organizations con-
trolled by gold-standard men. Gold, F"
he said was written on the walls of
the inner temples of both parties, and
it could be obliterated only by tearing
down the walls" This conference was
called, he said, TO deliberate upon the
present situation of the country and
to decide upon the policy to be pur-
sued by the friends of bi-Inetallism,
and ii WAS expected that an agreement
would be reached upon time and
place for holding a National Conyen-
tion to nominate candidates for the
Presidency and Vice-Presidency of the
United States. The fight must begin
now and continue until election day
next November.
Silver men must get together as the
gold men are together. Inc SILVER
men were not antagonizing Republi-
cans, Democrats or PopuIists; they
were fighting the gold men. At the
conclusion Of his address Mr.. Wharton
Barket, of Philadelphia, spoke of the
competition which the manufacturers
Of this country were beginning to feel
from the manufacturers of China and
japan. Senator Stewart delivered an
animated address on the general situ-
alton. A committee on resolutions
was authorized to be appointed by the
chairman, and another to arrange for
a National Convention.

Lacy Worell a few nights ago whom
they suspected of being a revenue spy
and informer. They also ordered him
to leave the county at once, which he
did.
Will Dalton was another victim. He
was hung to limb three times till all
most dead after which he was given
a severe fiogging and turned loose. Tt

ground in Congress that, because the
Secretary of State has not yet forward

OUR UNCHRISTENED OWL,
A New Well-Known Bird of the
Night That Has Horns,
but No Name.
Some Pacific Bird Stories That Pro.
fesSor Loomis Has Told to L..
norant Ornithologists.

The important discovery has been made
in Washington that the horned owl of
California has no name.
This may be largely due to the retiring
nature of this meditative songster of the
moonlight which has kept it from intrud-
ing itself into the business of ornitholo-
gists with double-barreled shotguns, but
the fact remains that the weIl-known
horned owl of the Sierra forests has lust
been discovered. In fact, there is no
horned owl west of the Missouri River that
has a name-that is, real name besides
the nicknames which vulgar speech has
bestowed.
Ornithologists have always supposed
that California has put up with the same
kind of an ordinary horned owl that has
been given to the rest of America and they
have carelessly called our fine bird with
the peaked tufts behind its ears the Bubo
virginianus subarcticus. But now Califor-
MIA may boast horned owl Of it's own,
More than that, 1t has been discovered
that there is no such a thing as a Bubo
