Last of the Appropriation Bills Passed
and Sent to Conference.

Washington, June 9.-The Senate
to-day agreed to final conference re-
ports on the Naval and Indian Appro-
priation bills, leaving only the Sun
dry Civil and District of Columbia con-
ference reports outstanding. A night
session had been agreed to in anticipa-
ton of delays and opposition to the
Naval and Indian conference reports,
but they went through so speedily that
the night session was abandoned.
The resolution for an inquiry into
the circumstances of award of the
statue of Gen. VIM. T. Sherman occa-

defended the award. The resolution
was finally defeated.
The bill to amend the law respect

MARYLAND WILL BE FOR GOLD.
Democratic State Convention to Meet
in Baltimore To-Day.

Baltimore, Md, Jrse9.-The Demo
cratic State convention which assem-
bles in this city tomorrow at noon
will be remarkable in that for the
first time in thirty years it finds the
opposing political power in control OF
all the important offices in the State.
The work of the convention will be
confined to the selection of sixteen
delegates to the Chicago convention
and the adoption of resolutions setting
forth the views of the Maryland Demo
Gratis upon National questions.
1t seems probable that the delega-
tion to Chicago will be named by the
wing of the party which acknowledges
United States Senator German as its
leader. In the event it will be headed
by John +. Hurst, the party's candidate
for Governor at the last election, who
will go as a delegate-at-large and who
will have for his associates John Gill,
r. Edwin Warfield and James Alfred
Pierce.
1t is possible, however, that the
dominant faction may, in the interest
of harmony, decide to allow their OPP
ponents equal representation. in which
even it is likely that thirty-two dele
gates, with half a vote each, will be
named
In no event will Senator German be
delegate to Chicago and it is under
stood that he will not be a candidate
to reelection to place on the Ma
tional committee. AS to the resolu-
tions there is little doubt but that they
will contain the re-affirmation of the
princinples set forth in the last Ma
tional Democratic platform, with a
strong expression in favor of the gold
standard in National currency.

cents of the same character as the
other. The result of the call is given.
Continuing the Secret tary SAYS: NV
opinion is that the price received bv
the government for the bonds sold in
1894, 1895 and 1896, were as high as it
was possible to obtain under the cir
cumStanceS existing at times when
sales were made. The fact that bonds
are offered for sale by the government
only at times when the financial affairs
OF the country are greatly disturbed
and the market more or less depressed
on account of the business situation
and the feeling of insecurity which
always prevails at such periods among
investors. necessarily prevents the real
izatlOn of as good prices as might be
procured if advantage could be taken
of the most favorable opportunities of
effecting the sales. The same condi-
tions which make the issue of bonds
necessary, also depress the price of
such securities in all the markets of
the world, and consequently the GOV
ernment is compelled to make its sales
under the most unfavorable circum-
stances
"ln relation to that part of the reso-
luton which directs the committee
to investigate and report what effect
the bond sales had on the credit and
business of the people of the United
States | have the honor to say that
in my opinion the sales were neces-
sary for the preservation of the credit
of the government and the security ot
| the business interests of the people
that they, in fact, accomplished those
results. In general, the effect of eacI
sale was to restore confidence. fos the
time being at least, in the power anC
| purpose of the government to main
tain its own credit, to preserve the
| parity of our coins and the value ot
| our currency, and to check the return
OF our securities in large amounts
