Confident That the Silver Men Have
Not TWO-thirdS.

Chicago, July 6-Tbe New York delega-
ton held its inst meeting tonight at the
Auditorium Ho:ei, but beyond effecting its
organization nothing OF Importance was
developed.
Senator Hill was unable to be present,
but the other delegates at-large were there
and nearly every member OF the delegation.
Mr.. Whitney was there Tor short time,
but as he had other work 90 do and the b,isi-
ness before the delegation was OF such an
unmportant character, he withdrew early.
Roswell p. Flower was elected chairman
and George B. Mcclellan secretary. Mem
bers of the convention committees were
selected as follows: Resolutions, David
B. Hill; national committeeman, William
F. si,eehan; CREDENTIALS, smith Al Weed;

beck with; honorary vice preside mt, j.
E. Bell.
Two or three speeches were made.
william F. Sheeban told what the national
committee had done today and described
the scene that took place when Daniel
was defeated by Hill for temporary chair
man. Smith n. Weed made some remarks
laudatory of the work accomplished by
the advance guard OF New York gold men
who had come to Chicago last Friday.
BE said that when they arrived the feel
ing against them was so bitter that it was a
question whether they were to be permitted
to go into the convention at all. 1t was
decided to assess each delegate $25 for
the expenses of the delegation and a big
pile OF money soon accumulated on the desk
OF the presiding officer.
Congressman Sulzer, who represents the
Eleventh district in the delegation, intend
ed to present bis Cuban plank for indorse-
ment, but he changed his mind and will
present it instead to the general committee
on resolutions. The delegation adjourned
to meet tomorrow morning at 10 O'clock
to receive badges and tickets to the con-
vention.
Mr. Weed and Mr.. Sheehan reported
that they had made canvass OF the dele
gates to ascertain the sentiment on the
money question and said they were satis-
fled that tile free silver men did not have
two-thirds of the convention.

Of Tennessee and u Committee OF Confed-
crate veterans, who are trustees of the
proposed Battle Abbey OF the Southern
states. were the guests Of Chnrles Broad
way Rouss in this city today.
The Abbey is to be the home Of every
thing that passed through the was On the

federa,e veterans IN Riehmcsd last week,
when the discussion of the proposed battle
abbey of Tie Confedcracy was preached, a

mortal provided it WAS built in Richmopd.

Is native VirgiDian.

Rouss that they had come on to thank him
personally for his generous offer. Mr..
Rouss said that it was only a little Of what
he would like to do for the lost cause"
and its sentiment. He told them that he
would increase the offer to 100000 pro-
vided the South raised like sum, If the
trustees would consent to build their
battle abbey in Washington.
I'VE would raise half u million or a mil
lion," said he, for our battle abbey, but
the structure must be on Southern SOIL"
I'VE expect to begin the work in earnest
about the middle OF August" said Gen.

difficulty in collecting $1,000 900, or even
ST 800 900 if we need it. And it is up
propriate that Nashville be chosen as the
site for many reasons. more than thatst is

tions were Of like proportion"
1t is the general sentiment among the

Another man asserted that on the night
OF the lynching he was driving from the
direction OF Gaithersburg and when just
the other side of Darnestown met several
vehicles. They We're driving rapidly and
at the time he thought they were returning
from some festivity. One of the party
called out from 4 wagon and asked, Ibid
you see a runa way horse along the road?"
The man replied in the negative. The man
said to be looking for his buggy is credited
with the statement that he found his horse
in the stable the next morning, but his
buggy was missing. 1t is evidently true
that a horse broke loose from some one in
