THIRp WARD ..PADDED.. 2,
Silver Men Have Suspicious There are
Not zoo More Voters There.

The free silver men Won their point
this morning before the commissioner
Of elections and they viii be allowed
TO copy the books even though the law
allows the commissioner to close his Of
Zee and the books until three days be-
fore election.
y. C. Tillotson appeared before the
board Of supervisors to request that the
silver committee be given access to the
books. but Commissioner McMaster
and Mr.. TiilOtsOn came to an agree
ment and it was not necessary for the
board to act.
Mr.. McNIaster agreed that as fast as
the books of a ward We're copied by
the force in the Office they would be
turned over to the representatives of
the silver committee 50 that their poll
books may be completed He agreed
that the books of the First ward
should be open to their inspection this
evening
The silver people still claim that there
is a padded registration and they have
charged that the books were closed to
them to prevent q close inspection and
the culling out of the illegal voters.
G. E. PurViance. candidate on the
ticket of the allied silver forces for
clerk of the district court, lives in the
Third ward, and he says he is satisfied
that there is a padded registration IN
that ward. He has been active in poll
tics and he says he knows that there
cannot possibly be 700 more legal voters
m the WarU TINS year imam nave ever
registered before.
Mr.. Purviance is naturally very anx-
ious to see the books of his ward and
have them copied into poll books He
accordingly reached an agreement sat
urday evening that some one might
work on the books yesterday under the
supervision OF the deputy commissioner
of elections.
When our men went there" said Mr..
Purviance. they were told by Mr.. Nc
Master that he wanted to work on the
books himself. and consequently we did
not work. am satisfied that there is
something wrong and I am especially
anxious to make a search for Illegal
voters
The action of Commissioner NIcMas-
ter this morning viii clear up matters
and there will be no further objection
from the silver forces They will be
given time to make q canvass of the
names on the books and it viii soon be
known whether or not illegal voters
have really been registered.

SHE'S A DEEP SEA DIVER.
Mrs. Frances n. sorohO Works Benenth
the Waves.

Mrs. Frances n. SorchO Works Benenth
the Waves.
Probably the only woman in the
world who follows the novel occupation
of deep sea diving is Mrs. Frances N.
Sorcho of Baltimore. For several years
she has worked at this perilous calling,
not taking an occasional dive for pleas
ure. but going to the bottom of the
ocean day after day for profit. Not one
man in 100 is fitted for the work or has
the necessary nerve and muscle to do
it, but this domure looking little wOm-
an daily faces dangers which would ap-
pail any but the stoutest heart.
Mrs. SorchO is the wife of Captain
Louis Sorcho, veteran deep sea diver
and an ex- captain Of the United States
life saving service. She had not been
married long before she determined to
assist her husband and share the dangers
of his occupation with him. She pre-
pared herself by taking years course
Of physical training, and at the end of
that time she had developed the muscles
Of an athlete. Then she was prepared to
put on 81 pound shoes and the rest Of a
divers armor, weighing about 25O
pounds.
Captain Sorcho was engaged in the
business Of collecting rare seashells and
coral for several northern universities.

Not Very Likely.

CHICAGO, July 2--Ihe movement to
make Senator Hill temporary chairman
received a decided impetus during the
day, and there is good reason for be-
lieving that the executive committee of
the national committee would be pleased
to suggest his name if they felt that it
would be accepted by the silver men.
Members of the committee profess to be-
lieve that Hill will be acceptable to the
silver people, because he is not regarded
as an administration man, though ranked
with the gold forces. Many impartial
observers express the opinion that the
senator will be ultimately accepted by
all factions in order to make smooth
sailing at the beginning of the conven-
ton The silver leaders hole. out stilly,
however, for a man Of pronounced silver
proclivities for presiding officer.

ACCIDENTAL DROWNING.

While Mclnnis, Aged &, Drowned In the
Cascade Mill Race Wednesday.
Wednesday afternoon about . o'clock
a sad accident took place on the river
bank not far from the old Cascade -four
mill, opposite the depot. Willie Nc
lnuis, son of Joe Mclnnie, the shoe
maker, who has his shop opposite the
postotfce in company with his brother
John, were stroling along the river bank
by the mill race. Willie told bis
brother that he was going to wade across
the mill race stream, and stripping off
bis clothes in the brush, started in to
accomplish the feat. The water in the
race at this stage Of the river is between
four and five feet deep and rather swift,
and the little fellow was at once carried
OIL his feet. lie never gave cry and
his brother was paralzed with fright for
few minutes when he saw him sink be-
meath the water. He soon recovered,
however, and ran to the mill near by for
help.
1t was not more than ID minutes after
the accident when the body was recov-
erel, but although every effort was made
to induce artificial respiration under the
direction of physician life WAS found
to be extinct and the task proved USE
less The little fellows body was turned
over to Cooks undertaking establish
ment and the funeral took place Thurs
day at 3 D. III. from the Catholic church.

the sad occurrence. There we're six
children in the family and the grief of

Mclean Boom.

CHICAGO, July 2.-Thc friends of Hon
John r. Mclean Of Ohio are talking
very confidently today OF the showing
they will make for him as a presidential
candidate in the convention. He will,
they say, have from the beginning, not
only the support of his own entire dele
cation, but also the assistance of many
delegates from other quarters. They
think that his availability will cause
him to grow in the convention from the
beginning, and claim for him that his
selection would make Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois surely democratic at the polls.

today fairly active and at steady prices
for desirable lots and at weak prices for
others. Sales were on basis of g 40M
1 GJ for poor to extra native steers, sales
being largel! at S390m 40. There is
hardly any trade in feeders. but etockers
sell fairly well at s2.5OGl350 few going
below 800. Good, fat COWS and heifers
sell well, but canning cattle are dull and
cheap, and calves are - cents lower
this week.

the week was again evident today and
though receipts continue moderate,
prices are away Off Sheep sold at the

they were defeated is still current, but
it cannot be definitely placed in the So
far arranged plans of the gold standard
people. The plan arranged ie, at
least, calculated to make things lively
even if it has not greater effect.
1t will be similar to the plan adopted
by the New York democrats during the
days preceding the convention of 1892,
when, in the same halls, orators foretold
the destruction of the democracy if
President Cleveland was rcnomlnatcd.
The plan is to have Senator Hill, Whit
ney, Mayor Grant, John r. Fellows,
Senator Smith of New Jersey, exGov-
ernor Russell of Massachusetts and
other well known orators discuss the
situation with, not only the leaders of
the gold standard movement from other
states, but with the leaders of the silver
movement. If thcac discussions, like
the Hill and Cleveland discussions of
1892, are to he made public,
the result can hardly be foretold,
for the silver element here now
in such preponderance are Of excitable
character. The conference Of the gold
standard men is called for o'clock to-
morrow night at the Auditorium, and it
is believed line of action will be mapped
out at that time. The statement that
w. S. Biseell Of Buffalo would act as
delegate at large in place Of Senator
Murphy in the New York delegation is
believed here to be erroneous, as Muir
phys alternate is }. A. Cantor. Bissell,
however, will, as close friend of Ceve-
land, take an active part III the fight for

CHICAGO, July .. - Notwithstanding
the denial of some leaders of the silver
forces that there will be d general eau
Gus Of the silver men. there is no doubt
that the propriety of holding one has
been seriously discussed and that if GER
tain elements among the silverites can
have their way a conference to which all
e,'rer delegates will be invited will be
held next Monday. The proposition was
sprung by the advocates OF ths nomina-
ton OF Bland, and some of them went
so far as to bespeak hall for the meet
ing. The Bland people claim that the
fair and seemly thing for the silver men
to do is to get together in caucus and
agree upon candidate who shall be the
choice of all silver men when they go
into the convention. This, they say,
would avoid a contest among the
advocates OF the same cause and
avoid the possibility of the nomination
Of man of questionable soundnees on
silver by combination of their personal
followers with the gold forces, They say
they are so we'll assured OF Bland's q
strength that they do not fear such a
test AS this would be. This program
has, however, received somewhat of a
backeet through the opposition OF the
adherents of other aspirants ard it has
been frowned upon by many of the ma
tional leaders who are more concerned
about the success OF the silver cause
than they are for the welfare OF any in
dividup candidate. While, therefore,
the Bland people are clamorous for the
caucus, it is not yet certain whether it
will be held.

From the review of the metal market
in the New \ ork Mining and Engineer
Journal for the week we quote as fol-
lows regarding copper: While the mar
ket did not show much activity, so far
as home trade is concerned, a good bust
ness is continually being done for ex-
port, and this makes producers exceed
ingly independent and firm. The large
sales recently made by the Calumet Il
iIecIa company have filled up home
trade buyers pretty well, and the higher
prices now asked are no Induccmeut for
them to buy additicna! lots. Most of
the lake companies, however, are hold
ing firmly for l2c., but no doubt limited
quantities could be obtained for llalc.
For eloctrolytiC the market has been
rather irregular and somewhat nominal,
and We have still TO quote for cakes,
wire bars or ingots III, -,c,, and for cath
cdes 70 n He, but very little material
is ohtaiuahIe at these tiguree. Casting
copper has been in somewhat better de-
muud. and is firmly held at 1o's allie.
HE exports continue rather heavy.

In connection with these figures it will
be noticed that the silver men lack but
lG votes of having the necessary two
thirds to nominate, but they claim that
the eight votes counted for gold in Ohio
will come to them after the Temporary
organization, while the Michigan votes
are also expected 1t will further be
noticed that Nebraska is figured in the
silver column, and this is be-
cause, while there Is II contest,

The decision upon the abrogation of the

as the convention is ready to nominate.
Then, unless the gold standard men rec
ognize the superiority of numbers and
