SILVER DEMOCRATS ANGRY.
They VIII Meet in New York To-
night to Make Up Ticket.

Syracuse. Sept. 29.-The refusal of the
Democratic convention to reaffirm the
Chicago platform had the effect of a red
rag on a bull on the silver men here.
They are mad clear through and they
say they will Immediately put third
ticket in the field filed from top to bottom
with candidates who believe in the ulti-
mate triumph of the 16 TO principle. The
committee on organization, composed of
one member from each senate district,
will meet tomorrow night in the Union
Square Hotel, New York, and the ticket
will then be made up
J. II. Mcdonald, who was chairman of
the conference, said tonight that there
was some sentiment at first among the
silver men in favor Of indorsing certain
of the nominees on the Democratic ticket,
but that the idea was abandoned at the
informal meeting of the leaders this af-
ternOon They are all red hot now, he
said. for full Independent ticket, and
the committee on organization is going
TO give them what they want.
Mr.. Mcdonald denied that he was to
lead the ticket. He said he would not
accept nomination for any office. He
also said that he considered the ticket
named by the Democrats today an ex-
ceedingly weak one, but ne refused to
go into details.
"A Tammany man told me today" he
said, that the only Van Wyck not now
provided for is an old maid who lived in
New England. He said that the leaders
of the wigwam were going to get together
to see If some place could not be found
for her.

PROPOSED FLOUR DEAL.
Alleged Attempt to Consolidate the
Milling Interests

Duluth. Mimi. Sept. 2s.-An effort Is
being made by Mr.. Macintosh, of New
York. to consolidate the big -four mill
properties of the country. He asked for
figures on the mills here, the Minkota
and Imperial Mill Companies properties.
The millers here are not anxious to SELL
Said an official of one company:
There is not one chance in a thousand
that the scheme will go through We are
asked our price and we named what our
mill is worth Like everybody else, we
would sell if we got enough money l
do not think Mr.. Macintosh can swing
it,
81 talked with one of the biggest Min
neapolis millers about it, and he has no
faith that the scheme can go through.
Any combination must include the Pills
bury properties. The stock is scattered
all over this country and England, which
is a big obstacle"
The manager of the Imperial Mill said
that nothing had been done by his COM
pany toward entering the proposed COM
bination. He would not say whether the
matter was being considered.

Syracuse. Sept. 2s.-The following is the
text Of the platform presented 10 the
convention today, and adopted:
''The Democratic party of the State Of
New York, in convention assembled, de-
clares as follows:
''First-H congratulates the country up
on the successful termination of war
undertaken not for conquest or aggran-
dizement, but in the interest of humani-
ty. liberty, and civilization.
I'VE glory in the patriotic devotion and
ralor of our brave soldiers and sailors
who have honored the American people
and heightened the luster of our national
fame, and we favor the adoption of a
liberal policy toward the sick and wound
ed. and the families of. those who lost
their lives in the service of their country
1--WE rejoice that the Democracy have
been connected with every honorable and
creditable step in the war and with moth
ing that is dishonorable and discreditable

STEAMER ADULA TO BE SOLD.
MarbIehead's Prize Should Bring
S55,00O

New York, Sept. 29.-The British steam
er Adula which was captured by the
cruiser Marblehead off Guantanamo Bay
last June, arrived here yesterday from
Savannah. The Adula attempted to put
into Guantanamo while our fleet was
there. She declared she was going in to
take off refugees, but when she was
searched she was found TO have on board
a large quantity of contraband of war.
She was condemned by the prize court,
and this decision was sustained by the
circuit court at its session at Macon, Ga.
In the hope of obtaining a fair price
for the prize she was brought to this port
and is now tied up at a Brooklyn pier.
She will be advertised for sale at once
The Government has fixed 900 as the
lowest price for the steamer.

DEFENDER TO BE A WONDER.
Captain HerreshoG Has So Promised
MIR. G. Oliver Iselin.

Bristol, r. l., Sept. &C. Oliver Iselin
arrived here yesterday unexpectedly and
went direct from the depot to the office
of Herreshoff. For long. time he was
In conference with Designer Nat Her
reshoff
Mr.. Iselin, accompanied by the de-
signer, made a tour OF the shop. He
showed great interest In the new ma
rine railway upon which the Defender
is to be run into the Herreshoffs ;or
overhauling.
Messrs. Iselin and Nat Herreshof
have come into possession of some val
liable information from abroad regarding
the challenger which has caused change
in the plans of the Defender.
Since Mr.. Morgan reached Europe he
has been busy He has discovered much
about the Shamrock which viii be useful
in designing the American boat.
Everything is being rushed, so that
work on the Defender can be begun soon.
IT is a slow job, as the material necessa-
ry is heavy and strong, and difficult TO
handle. A large quantity of the material
is being ordered. The greater part of this
is aluminium, which is not much thicker
nor heavier than the old plates on the
winner of 1895.
Herman b. Duryea, whose name has
been used recently as a member of the
Iselin-Morgan syndicate, will probably
get in after all. Mr.. Iselin has come to
the conclusion that he ought to admit a
representative or two of the ambitious
younger yachtsmen. Mr. Duryea practi-
cally admits that he will be associated
with Mr.. Iselin, but he wants the au-
thoritative announcement to come first
from Defenders old commander.
Mr.. Duryea will represent young Van
derbilt and Whitney and the other
wealthy owners of thirty-footers who
have been having such an active yacht
ing season about Newport this year
Great secrecy is to be maintained about
the Herreshoffs. and the workmen who
are now being notified are all given to
understand that their places viii be for
feited If they give Information to any
outsiders. Just at present Mr.. Duryea
is the most frequent visitor of the wide
Unknown yachtsmen to the Herreshoff
shops.
Capt. Nat assures Mr.. Iselin that the
boat which will meet Lipton's Shamrock
will be a wizard and the wonder of the
closing century.
