WAITING FOR JONES.
senator Faulkner Is Funny Over Free
silver Down East.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IL 1896 Senator
Faulkner last night received telegram
from Chairman Jones of the National
Committee, in which he said it would be
impossible for him to reach this city be-
fore late Monday night or Tuesday morn
ing. Until he arrives no positive informa-
tion will be at hand concerning the prob
able location of National Democratic
Headquarters, although there appears to
be very good grounds for the general inn
preston that the chairman has decided
upon this city and the old Wormley Ho-
tel as the best possible location. Senator
Jones having thus postponed his visit,
Chairman Faulkner, of the Congressional
Committee, will run up to Martinsburg
this evening and spend Sunday in the
mountains with his family.
Senator Faulkner this morning in
dulged in a little good natured fun at the
expense of Vice Chairman ,Apsley, of the
Republican Committee. That gentleman
recently said that there was no free
silver sentiment in New England. Mr.
Faulkner quoted a letter from Massa-'
chusetts to show that in Mr.. Apsley's
home, the Hudson (Mass.e sfnuependeilt"
had come out for free silver and that a.
Bryan free silver club had also been
organized in the home of the Vice Chair

LAWRENCE, Kan, Aug. I, 1ss6.-Her-
bert H. Spencer, the young man whose
strange loss of memory has puzzled the
physicians of Philadelphia since last
March and whose Identity was acci-

weeks ago, arrived home yesterday after
noon. AT the depot in Kansas City he
saw one of his brothers and remarked.
There's a man l know; his sister and

RESULTS ABSOLUTELY NIL.

Bn Cable Lo the United Press.

LONDON, Aug. 1, 1S96.-This was the
last day of tile international Socialist
Trades Congress. and aside from an aca-
demic discussion of social questions. lis
results, as was expected have been nil.
II was decided today that the next Con-
gress would be held in Germany In 1899.
If the political difficulties in that colIr-
Try prevented the holding of the Congress
there, then ii would be held In Paras in
1860 1t was also decided that Anarchists
would not be admitted as delegates to
the next Congress.
Prior TO their adjournment the dele
gates hurriedly adopted a number Of res
olutfons, including one in favor OF grant
ing amnesty to political prisoners
When the question of the next CONGRESS
was vas under discussion the American dele
gates proposed that New York be Sc
lected as the place Of meeting. They
said they would arrange to charter 4
steamer TO convey delegates from Europe
to the United States, but the proposal
was rejected on account of the expense.
Some of the trades unions delegates
urged that future congresses should dis
cuss practical questions and not ideal
states. Many OF the delegates vehem ant
ly protested against this proposal, es-
peeially the Frenchmen.
The Anarchists who had been refused
admission to the Congress as delegates
had esconeed themselves in the gallery Of
the hall and there signified tneir dis
approval of the proposal by shouting
sIong Live Anarchy.
After cheering fof Socialism and sing
ing .sAuld Lang Syne and the Mar
seil1aise' the Congress adjourned.
In conversation with a representative OF
the United Press today two OF the Anleri-
can delegates Matthew Mcguire. who rep
resented the New Jersey Socialist UIliens,
and Lucier Sanial, of the Socialist Trade
and Labor Alliance, said that the eongress
had Virtually reaffirmed the resolutions
adopted by past congresses, but more
firmly than ever before. 1t had estab-
lished opposition to anarchisn. and the
necessity of united movement by the
economic and political forces of labor.
1t had also virtually given notice to the
old-fashioned English trade unionists who
supported the Liberals and Tories that
they would not be recognized by the inter-
national labor movement unless they
dropped their old IDEAS. That also APP
piled to organized labor in the United
States as regards the Democratic, Repub-
ncan and Populist parties.
OF the American delegates Mrs. Stetson
will probably give series of lectures be-
fore she returns to the United States.
Mcguire and Sanial will probably make a
visit to France. Bechthold will attend a
brewers congress in Heidelberg. Sanial
and Keep are delegates to the Tailors'
