bility

b1u6y.
Chicago, July 3-Senator Dubois was
Joined this morning by Senator Petit
grew of South Dakota, Senator Man
tie and Representative Hartman of
Montana. Senators Dubois and Petit
grew were in close consultation when
a reporter mentioned to them that Sen
ator Teller had been formally with
drawn as possibility by Senator Du-
bois in consequence of a letter alleged
to have ben received by him from Mr.
Teller. Senator Dubois said that he
and Mr.. Pettigrew were here to see
what was to be done to induce the
friends of free silver coinage in the ap-
preaching convention to nominate the
foremost advocate of that policy in the
United States.
Il have not presented Mr.. Teiler's
name as a candidate" Mr.. Dubois add
ed, land / certainly shall not with
draw him from a position he does not
occupy. From many assurances that
have come to me to-day, however, it
seems the delegates to the convention
are disposed to take him as the most
available and best man fo rthe position
If this movement in his favor continues
to grow as it has this morning his nom
ination will be by acclamation''

noted as practically the only financier
of prominence in the east who openly
favored the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 /. He was the only

Favor Offensive Rather Than Defensive
Tactics in Convention

IdNof ohSHslNt Ath DelcHsANc
Tactics In Convention
Chicago, July 3.-Under the auspices
Of the Illinois honest money democrats
national headquarters of that element
were opened in parlor A of the yelling
ton hotel to-day with a meeting in
which Comptroller Eckels, ,ex- Congress-
men Gable and Forman, ex- Mayor John
7. Hopkins, Franklin MacVeagh and
representative democrats from about
twenty towns in the state took part.
All of those named and several others
made speeches in which they insisted
that the honest money element should
assume the aggressive instead of con-
tenting itself with the defensive side.
A mistake had been made, it was ar
gued, in permitting the silver forces to
have the field to themselves thus far
and every gold standard democrat was
urged to get into the open and do what
he could towards stemming the tide of
the silver metal. There was unanimi-
ty of sentiment that the claim of Gov
ernor Altgeldt and his delegation that
he represented the solid democracy Of
Illinois should be antagonized on the
floor Of the convention and it was de-
cided to refer to a subcommittee the
question as to how this could best be
accomplished.

SENATOR TELLER's views.

Chicago Nominee.
Chicago, July BIN view of the many
conflicting statements put in circula-
tion respecting Senator Teller's atti-
tude and the intention ofhis friends who
walked with him out Of the st. Louis
convention fortnight ago, Senator
Dubois this afternoon gave out the fol-
lowing letter from his associate, the
only one, he said, that had been receiv-
ed from Senator Teller since the ad-
journment of the republican national
convention:
Morrison, ILL.,, June 4, 1896.
Hon Fred Dubois, Springfield, Ill
Dear sir: I reached this place yester-
day and will remain here until the last
of the week, when will leave for Den
YER
notice that the gold democrats have
declared their intention to control the
Chicago convention. don't think they
can do it. If our silver friends control
the convention and give us good sill
yer man, as think they will, think
he should have the active support Of
all who believe the money question is
the great question before the American
people. We must, for tais campaign at
least, overlook all minor differences
and put the country on a sound f1nan-
ciaI system that recognizes that gold
and silver are the money of the consti-
tuition.
1 believe this can be done, and to that
end we must bend all our energies. A
little more patriotism and little less
partisanship is what our country needs
at this time. The friends of silver
made no mistake at st. Louis and we
must not make a mistake as to our fu-
ture alliance with other silver advo-
Gates. The cause is of too much i'm
portance to admit of carping or criti-
cism We must all get together and
act together until the battle is Won 1t
will be loyal battle with justice on
our side We must win. Let me hear
from you soon.

Fall River, July 3.-The signing of
the agreement by which the produc-
tion of print cloths and kindred goods
is to be curtailed here and elsewhere
tn. next two months has caused a
great sense of relief among manufac-
turers. For two weeks Messrs. Rounse-
vile and Baker have worked unremit-
tingly among Boston and Providence
men, as we'll as among treasurers in
this city, but until o'clock this af-
ternoon they could not say the new
movement to remedy dull trade would
be successful. The Seconnet Mills
signed this afternoon and within half
an hour Secretary Rounseville had Sc
cured the signatures of the Union, Po-
casset, Durfee and Narrangansett Mills
and the letter to the Arkwright club
was sent. The only factories in this

Mr.. Clarence Deming of this city is
suffering from painful accident. A
few days ago, while on a fishing ex-

BOB COOK GETS IN BOAT
SAYS no CREW: "THAT DOES NOT
LOOK LIKE WINNING"

ford and Treadway Appear Exhausted
The Crew Appear to be Going Backward
Cook Evidently Intends to Adopt Dras-
tic Measures If Necessary.
Henley July Sat 2:S0 the Yale men
went out in pair cared boats and took
several spins over the half course.
They then waited in their tent until
o'clock, when they went out in their
old boat. The found that the new
American oars needed trueing. The
course, from the start at the head OF
Temple Island to Fawley Court, 2,Sl0
yards was covered in 3 minutes, "a
seconds. The full course, $3.50 yards,
was covered in minutes, "a seconds.
A varying stroke was used, ranging
from forty to thirty-six per minute.
1t was thought that the new boat
would have been in condition for use
in this evenings practice, but the work
of overhauling the rigging and getting
it in satisfactory shape occupied too
much time, SO the old boat had to be
used. Captain Treadway and Lang
ford, stroke, looked bad after making
the stretch, but the rest of the crew
were all right. When Bob Cook saw
how Treadway and Langford looked af-
ter pulling over the course he remark
ed THAT does not look like winning.
Later Cook got in the shell, taking
the place of Brown, No. 2, to give
points in catching the water and to try
Browns oar. The weather was very
wet and cold The Leander and Trim
ity Hall crews did not row. TIE New
College crew went over the full course
in minutes seconds, and ever half
the course in minutes IL seconds.
They were paced by the Balliol and
Jesus College crews, and pulled SS and
So strokes per minute.

ing that the suggestion should be omitted.

Judge Wallace agreed with Mr.. Hallldle
that q report so important as the one
under consideration should be founded on
correct principles.
Governor Budd said there had been no
extravaganza in the university manage
ment. The deficit had been caused by the
Juggling of the State Board of EquallZa-
fion in reducing the valuation in twenty
five counties to ''cinch'' San Francisco.
True, San francisco had been increased Is
per cent, but reduction all around of
$70000,O00 was made, by which the uni
versity this year receives but $l07, 900,
whereas the year before it received Sis, 900.
That accounted readily for the deficit OF
$4,000.

the Wilmerding site should be taken at
that session, but not before noon of the

They had commenced on the brick wall
at the rear of the cell, which is three feet
thick. One of the bricks had been re-
moved after considerable labor and piece
OF paper covered the aperture. 1t would
have taken them months to break through

found themselves in locked corridor.

kept till the cases are disposed of in the
