Colorado Senator Calls the Silverite n
 Political Tranfp.

Denver Col, Sept. 15.-The republican state convention met here to-day. Senator E. D. Wolcott was unanimous ly elected temporary chairman. Senator Wolcott congratulated the convention that it was not called upon to confer with any party as to it's nominatins and that the delegates need not quarrel for three days over division of the spells Hike hungry dogs fighting over a bone" Referring to the silver repub- lican party he said that "a/political tramp named Towne was called here from another state to tell Colorado vot- CTS how to conduct their convention .' He asserted that MT. Towne had no authority to remove State Chairman Broad of the silver republican party. His arraignment of the silver repub- licans who followed Chairman Towne was very bitter. He was glad he said, that they had forever left the republi- can party. Speaking of the Broad con- Hention he said he hoped this conven- tion would find some means of co-op- eration. Most of it's members, he said, could find all the silver they wanted in the name republican. The platform of the silver republicans presided over by Senator Teller, MT. Wolcott said, was devoted largely to vilification of the junior senator from Colorado. He wished to send them the message that when they had dug his political grave and buried him in it, they could never write renegade" over it.
 George B. Aller was made permanent chairman. The platform compliments the administration of President Me- Kinley and says: "The republican party Is a bimetallic party. The republican party of Colorado is earnestly devoted to the cause of bimetallism. It be- lieves that the final imposition of sin gle standard upon the people of the country would work irreparable injury It's members believe that the proper place for republican bimetallist is in the ranks of the party and not out of it. In the future as in the past, re- publicans who represent Colorado will be found working for the restoration of silver.
 True bimetallists are necessarily believers in hard money, gold and sil- yer, as the basis of our national circu- lation The democrats attempt to raise money for our war with Spain by issu- ing $50, 900, 900 of irredeemable legal tender notes not backed by a dollar of gold or silver would, if successful have been the most serious blow that could have been dealt to the cause of silver. It was fortunately defeated, and when the democracy had failed at this at tempt at imitation, they attempted to defeat the passage of the resolution to raise the revenue for the carrying on of the war.
 The platform expresses delight at the early termination of the war with Spain, and expresses confidence in the ability of the present administration to settle all intricate questions.

STYLE WORKING ON CLUES.
No New Development in This City in
 Bridgeport Mystery.

The New Haven police last night had secured no further clues as to the iden- tity of the woman whose dismembered body was found a few days ago in Bridgeport. It was learned that the local police had ascertained that the laundry mark "G51' found on the por- tion of an undergacment wrapped about one of the dismembered parts of the body was the same as that placed upon the laundry of pr. Gill and his wife, Dr. Nancy Guilford, at laundry in this city. The police stated that the whereabouts of Mrs. Guilford is un- known, but they admitted that a strong suspicion attaches to her and that they would like very much to know where she Is.
 At o'clock yesterday morning two West Haven policemen went to the morgue in Bridgeport and reviewed the remains for a considerable length of time. They were closeted with Super intendent Birmingham for some time. They claimed they knew the girl and
 
 to be implicated in the crime. They would not divulge any names, but said they would look into the case thorough ly. It was learned yesterday afternoon that the West Haven officers had found that their suspicious were not well founded, It is understood that the names of seven missing New Haven girls have been reported to the police, but that five of these cases had been investigated and the missing girls found.
 Mrs. Thomas J. Meara, who keeps a boarding house at "A Prospect street, Bridgeport, called at the morgue yes- terday afternoon in company with one of her lady boarders and thought she partially recognized the dismembered remains as that of a young girl who came to her house last Saturday night for board and room.
 The young woman in question said that she came from this city but that her home was in Norwalk. She engag- ed room and board for one week, and on Sunday at noon she left, but did not state where she was going. She left a great many nice clothes behind, and all she had on when she left was a white dress.
 When she came to Mrs. Meara' s house for lodging and board she said that she was going to work in War ner Bros. on Monday,
 Medical Examiner F. B. Downs has held an autopsy on the head at Culli- nan's morgue, and found the brain to be in a good healthy condition at the time the demise took place.

PARIS PEACE COMMISSION
STATEMENT ISSUED BY THE STATE
 DEPARTMENT.
While for Obvious Reasons Secrecy is Demanded 1t Is Possible to State Au- thoritatively That the Commission is Fully Prepared to Follow a Course of Action Mapped Out for It as a Result of Consultations
of Consultations.

Washington, Sept. 15-The state de- partment tonight gave out the follow ing concerning the discussion between the members of the cabinet and the peace commission to-day: "The mem bers of the peace commission with the exception of Senator Gray, whose ab- sence was due to his inability to with draw as counsel in a case in which he was engaged some time before his ap- pointment have spent the greater part of yesterday and to-day in a free dis cussion of the duties with the discharge of which they have been entrusted by the president. Senator Gray is expect ed during the evening and before sail
 ing will have a full conference with the president and his associates"
 While for obvious reasons it was de- manded that the nature of the instruc- tions as to the negotiations about to be entered upon should be kept secret and made known only after definite results shall have been reached, it Is possible to state authoritatively that the com mission goes to Paris fully prepared to follow course of action mapped out for 1t as the result of the consulta- tions of the last two days. At the very outset will be made clear to the Span- ish commissioners that as in the case the preliminary protocol there can be no devitation from or modification of the demands made by the United States. The decision arrived at by the president after full consultation with the members of tho commission Suhse
 quently received the cordial and unani- nous approval of the cabinet at sub- sequent meeting held this evening.
