Washington, May 3I.-The national
silver party, through its chairman, J. ].
Mott, today issued from its headquar-
tiers in this city an address to the friends
of silver. 1t is as follows:
Headquarters National Silver party,
Washington May so.
ITO the Friends of Silver: Since the
founding of this party on January ~.
1896, the work of organization has been
steadily but quietly pursued and the
country has been aroused to a pitch Of
excitement unknown since the civil
war. Silver is on all lips throughout
the land. It is echoed and re-echoed
from the gilded mansion to the lOwIy
cottage.
GAS each hour passes it becomes more
apparent that political conflict, the
like of which has never been seen be-
fore, is just at hand
at must be clearly understood that
party lines cannot withstand this con-
fict and so far as the friends of silver
are concerned they must not. The party
leader who puts in his time mending
party lines while the silver cause suf-
fers will be relegated to a deserved Sc
clusion. There is no time for compos-
ing differences between men who do
not agree on this question. The only
thing to be considered is how those who
do agree can get together. They who
say they are for free silver and at the
same time plead for the unity of parties
are not the friends of silver aud the
suffering people. The unity of old
parties is the death of silver as every
Eody knows.
Those who look to coming years for
a peaceful settlement of this matter
mistake the condition of the times and
the temper of the people. There can
be no delay. The conflict will not wait.
The hour has come. The secret of sue
cess in this conflict consists in the lin |
ing up for the battle. Those who COM i,
pose the lines must be friends striking ;
the same blows for the same object !
This breaks party lines and party lines
once broken silver will be free.
"That meeting of earnest men on the
77d of January, 1896, marked an epoch
that will live in history The conven-
ton which grew out of it to be held in
St. Louis on the 22d of July will I'M

talk about a compromise, or, rather, he
did not see any particular occasion for It..
I'VE think our delegation was admitted
to the convention" he said principally
because the powers that be considered that
We are about as good democrats as those
of the Citizens Club If not better. We've
got no compromise to offer. We whipped
them in the last fight and we will whip
them in the next. We have perfect con-
fidence in our representatives.. They are
not the represent atives of the Liberal Club,
but Of the people of the county politically
and commercially, and they represent the
county in all OF its material interests. I'll
gamble my shirt that there was no COM
promise, and do not think there will be
any.
"All this talk about each side naming
six aldermen and indorsing Mayor Myers
Is the worst nonsense. We would not
take Mayor Myers with the privilege of
naming twelve aldermen. The whole
thing started. am satisfied, in a CONVEX
sation between two politicians of opposite
factions coming down on the train from
Atlanta, the proposition as suggested by
the Citizens Club man that each side name
six aldermen, and let the twelve so Sc
lected nominate a mayor, and then divide
the city patronage. So far as / am con-
cerned we do not propose to accept any
proposition of that kind We've got the
county affairs and management and as the
county covers the city we intend also to
get that This is said not in any spirit
of partisanship, but 1t is a result that will
be attended with benefit to all of the con-
servauve interests of the city. We are
not making any fight on Mayor Myers
personally, but on his extravagant and in
efficient administration Of the city affairs"

FUNERAL OF MIX. GEO. L. COPE.
Buried al BOnaventure Beneath n
hank of Flowers.

The funeral Of Mr.. George L. Cope,
which took place yesterday at $3.50 o'clock
D. m from his late residence at 176 Hull
street, was perhaps more largely attend
ed than any that has taken place in Sa-
vannah in a long time. The deceased had
friends far and wide over the city. and
his death brought sadness and regret to
all who knew him. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. Robb White, as
sisted by Rev. S. A. Goodwin of the First
Baptist church, and the interment was at
Bonaventure.
More numerous and handsome designs
in flowers than were sent as the testimoni-
ais of regard by his many friends have
not been seen in years. The designs from
the Savannah Yacht Club of the rear
commodore's flag in white and red roses,
and the white pillow sent by the Elks,
upon which was inscribed in flowers ''B.
p. o. E." were among the handsomest
and most noticeable OF the many. Both of
these organizations knew and loved him
as one of their strongest and most enthu-
siastic members, and there are none out
side of his family, by whom his loss will
be more deeply felt He was a man
through and through, and there were none
who ever heard of George Cope who could
not say good word for him, so well was
he liked. His son, Harris Cope, arrived
from the north on the early morning train,
and his sister, Mrs. T. r. Mills of Griffin,
was also present at the funeral. The pail
bearers were Messrs. II. A. Palmer, A. S.
Bacon, w. M. Mills, Walter G. Charlton,

CAPT. D1xoN,s RESIGNATION.
Col. Lawton's order Which CompIi-
ments Him on His Military Career.

The Republican Blues held a meeting
last night at the Armory hall, and, apart
from the regular order of business. on
motion 1t was decided to appoint a COM
mittee to consider suitable names. from
which the successor Of Capt. w. D. Dixon,
resigned, might be selected.
This committee, appointed by Lieut.. j.
J. Gaudry, who presided over the meeting,
consists Of Lieut.. CIV. Drummond. Corpl.
Charles Lowenthal, Private W. p. era
mer and Honorary Members P. M. Rus
sell and P. J. White. This committee,
after having met and deliberated upon the
most suitable commanding officer mate
rial. will report to the company at its
next meeting.
It is not known as yet who will be
Capt. Dixon's successor. The Blues do
not talk much of the vacancy, and the
usual straws, that show which way the
wind of promotion blows, are in this case
not flying.
Capt. Dixon's resignation has been ac-
cepted by Adjt. Gen. Kell, and his honor
able discharge from active service grant
ed The commanding officer of the Blues,
who has served so long and we'll, leaves
the company with the sincere regret of
every member.
Col A. r. Lawton, in command OF the
First Regiment, pays Capt. Dixon a mer-
tied compliment in the following notice,
posted on the bulletin board Of the armo-
ry hall:
Headquarters First Regiment of In
fantry Georgia Volunteers, Savannah,
Ga, Nov 10, 1896 Orders No. 81. AT his
own request Capt. William D. Dixon of
this regiment has been placed by the gov
ernor on the retired list by S. o. No. 1903,
A G.. O., c. S. Joining the Republican
Blues (now Company AZ, in 1857, he served
as a private in the ranks until Aug. 49,,
1861. The trying times of war served so
well to develop his sodierlY qualities that
he rapidly rose in the same company to
the successive grades of first sergeant,
second lieutenant, first lieutenant, and on
April %, 1863, was commissioned captain.
He continued to command the company
With signal ability until the close of the
war, and was paroled April q, 1865.
During the succeeding period of en-
forced inactivity Capt Dixon assisted in
maintaining the organization Of his COM
paHy, and in 1879 resumed active service
as it's first lieutenant Again commits
stoned captain on Jan. &c, 1857, he has
continuously commanded until the present
time.
The regiment loses the active service
of an earnest, faithful and efficient Off
Ger, and a true soldier; but it is the hope
of the commanding officer that Capt Dix

ASPHALT PAVING COSTLY.
The south BrOnd street Contract to
BE Drawn Up To-day.

BE Drawn Up To-day.
The contracts with the Warren-Scharf
Asphalt Company for paving South Broad
street and maintaining the present as
phalt pavements of the city will be draft
ed to-day by the local representative of
the company, Mr.. A. L. Alexander, and
after being submitted to the city attorney
will be forwarded to the companys office
in New York for approval.
The contracts will be returned to Sa-
vannah after approval, arriving here some
time next week, it is expected, when they
will be signed by the mayor or acting
mayor, as authorized by council at its
last meeting.
Mr.. Alexander said yesterday that
work would probably begin on South
Broad street by Dec. /. Allowing for all
delays, he said, the pavement would prob
ably be completed within ninety days
AS the city is not required to make any
payments on the pavement until COM
pleted this will place all the cost of the
pavement, with the exception of work al
ready done, on next years budget.
AS there are, in round numbers, $4,000
square yards to be put down on South
Broad street at $195 per square yard, the
cost will be for asphalt, $46,S00 Adding
the cost for curbing and catch basins,
most of which work has already been done
and will be paid for in this years budget,
the total cost of the Improvement will be
In round figures $50, 600. Asphalt paving is
a luxury but the people on South Broad
street wanted It, and they will get it.

Harry Wild, a white man, who was EN-.

a party TO the theft of the schooners
barometer by Thomas Douglass, who was
arrested the day before. Douglass saws
that he sold the barometer for a. and
gave Wild half. Wild denies this, but
says that he saw Douglass take the ba-

the final settlement OF the details for the
events of the day.

direct charge.
The Cadets are greatly interested in the
sports and are anticipating a successful
day. A large attendance is expected. and
the sale of seats that has already been

lions. Entries for the numerous events

MUST DRILL THE CREWS.
Steamboat Captains Put on Notice in
Regard to Fire Drills.

Regard to Fire Drills.
The United States steamboat inspectors
are working after the enforcement of the
laws requiring weekly fire drills on all
ocean and sound passenger steam
ers. The license of Capt. Leo Lomm,
master of the steamer Dauntless of
Brunswick has been suspended for thirty
days, the full limit of time the license
has to run before its expiration, for fall
ing to make the proper entry in the steam
er's log book of the fire drills which the
captain claimed to have held, but of
which there was no record.
The steamboat inspectors have notified
the masters of all steamers coming under
its requirement, that the law will be strict
ly enforced. Fire drills and the exercise
of the crews of all ocean or sound steam
ers in the use of the fire apparatus must
be held once a week and an entry of the
fact, showing the date of the drill, must
be made in the log book The law re-
quires that all such steamers shall have
station bills posted on the steamers, as
signing each person on board his position
and duty In case of fire. The drill calls
for practical working test of all the fire
apparatus and life saving equipments
used in case of fire by the officers and
crew, at least once every week. There has
been disposition among steamboat men
to neglect this drill, and the inspectors
have given notice that unless the regula-
ton is strictly compiled with the licenses
or the officers will be suspended or re-
voked.
Capt. Lomm of the Dauntless claimed
to have had fire drills, but there was no
evidence in the steamers log book TO
show it. On river steamers the inspectors
