The rescuers were divided into three re.

out of the knowledge of dear lives behlnu

At p. m. 1t became necessary TO swear
in extra policemen to control the crowd
around the mouth of the shaft. 1t had

stretched around the shaft and only mine

can assure you that if I had thought

bodies had been found. At that hour al
hope of finding any person alive had been

During the late hours of the Afternoon

given orders that the rescuers must pro

such slopwater platform as Hill
wrote for the New York democracy

ing in their scheme to force the adop-
ton of a wishy-washy platform, they
will vote to secure the nomination of the
weakest candidate in the field for the

their support to Matthews of Indiana
They would rather do this than walk
out, knowing that the former plan would
be more to the interest of the republican
gold standard ticket than the latter.
IT do not look for bolt, however. II
we refuse to be governed by the two
thirds rule, it may give the gold men
pretext to walk out. l am willing
that the gold men should go If they can
not line up for silver. That would draw
the line more sharply But l do not
believe there will be the slightest pre-
text for a bolt. 1 think we will have
more than two-thirds of the convea-
ton and there will be no question about
the two-thirds rule"

For the past IS months Jewett has
been successfully swindlng five promi-

ital of a character and standing that
were considered irreproachable and so
adroitly did he conduct his operations
that nothing was suspected until about
a week ago, when he suddenly left the
city.
The method he employed in obtaining
money was that of borrowing sums
ranging from $500 to $4,000 from the
banks, giving his note for the amount
and securing it by stock in corporations
which existed only in his imagination.
Jewett has a wife and two children.

PLATFORMS ARE NOT IMPORTANT
Currency Question as Viewed by
the London Times.

London, June 2S.-The Times says, edl-
torially, this morning. on American poll
tics and the outlook in the United Sta les
on the currency question:
I'VE are not sure that party platforms
are so important in the cause. When the
president is elected he becomes a free
agent in the safer and stronger possess
sions than an English premier. There
fore it is certain that Mckinley will cp-
pose the popular will of congress, should
it send him bill for free silver. We
trust, therefore, for the credit of the
United States. either that Mr.. Whi;ney's
gold campaign will succeed or that the
triumph of the silverites at Chicago will
be followed by defeat at the polls"
