Silver Republican Convention.

Lincoln, Neb., March ga state
convention of Free Silver Republicans is
in session here today. This convention
meets in response to call issued by sew
eral Republicans in the state legislature,
and is in keeping with the call issued by
Hon. Henry M. Teller, Fred T. Dubois
and other Free Silver Republicans OF
the United States senate and house OF
representatives under date of Feb. 23d.
The intention of the convention is to
form in this state Silver Republican
party. Similar steps are being taken in
other states. At the convention which
met here today each county was repre-
sented by one vote. A good deal of en-.
thusiasm was manifested when the meet
ing was called to order this morning
In forming this party it is not the inten
ton to necessarily vote against Demo.
crat or Populist for president. but, as
many Republicans believe firmly in sill
yer and can not support the Mckinley
administration, and still are unwilling to
60 into the Populist or Democratic party
they think by this means they can best
serve the interests of silver. So

Will Kill the Conference,

Washington, March 24-Another dan
ger threatens the Dingley tariff bill in
the senate. Senators who are interested
in bringing about the bluff at an inter-
national monetary conference are
alarmed at the criticisms which have
been made on the bill in European news
papers. They say that its extreme rates
of duty will affect most seriously the
very countries whose Cooperation will
be absolutely necessary If there is to be
an international conference on the none
tary question, and they fear that if the
United States goes to these governments
with tariff law in one hand, threatening
the exclusion of their products from
American markets, and a request in the
other for them TO unite in conference,
the real object of which is to open a
market for the product of American sill.

consent to take part IN the conference.

Isab ella Dividend.

Cripple Creek, March 25-The Isabella
Gold Mining company is today paying a
quarterly dividend of M cents per share.
This is the first dividend paid by the
company since last September, when the
grade of the ore shipped was SO poor
that the mine was unable to earn any
dividends. After several months of de-
velopment work from that period the ore
began to improve in value and the COM
pany again began to add largely to its
surplus. In the month of February the
total production from the Isabella prop
erty amounted to 1850 tons, which re-
turned a gross value of over $4,000.
The working expenses for the month
were $4,000. The property is now re-
ported to be in excellent condition.

restored the general health, but enlarged
