THE CURRENCY CONVENTION.
Warner and FOwIer-"Efect of Paper
Money,-''Bank Currency"

OMAHA, NEB., September 15-The
bird and last day of the National Cur
.ncy Convention began with a paper
support of an unlimited issue Of ire
deemable currency by the government,
by A. ]. Warner, president of the Amer
lean Bimetallic Union.
Charles S. Hartman, Of Montana, pre-
sided.
General Warner said the debate would
be divided into, first, the advocacy OF
bank currency; second, q plea for a gov
ernmental currency to circulate concur
rently with the metals, and third an
affirmation of an irredeemable govern
ment paper currency, or absolute fatism.
The title Of General Warmers paper
was, Paper Money; It's Effect on Metal
lie Money and on Prices"
A reply was made by Congressman c.
N. Fowler OF New Jersey, who supported
bank currency. The title of Mr.. Fowler
paper was. what Is the Best Form Of
Paper Money!
PUBLIC CONTROL OF MONEY.
President Willis, of the Kansas Agri-
cultural College. led off this afternoon
arguing for public control of money. 1t
was intended that Congressman Nc
Oledry, OF minnesota, should explain the
provisions Of his currency bill, introduced
at the last Congress, but the paper
money champions fired questions at him
so fast that his entire forty-five minutes
were taken up in answering them, and his
paper went over to the evening session.
A paper by William G. Cornwall, of
Buffalo, on Deposit Currency" was read
by f. V. Smalley, secretary of the Ma
tional Sound-Money League.
A SENSATION.
Two Of the Middle-of-t he-Road editors
Of the Reform Press Association. N. H
Motzinger, Of Indiana, and Ali Reed. of
Iowa, managed TO be heard on their
theory of absolute fiatism. Reed created
scene by charging the gold-standard
advocates with being paid hirelings of the
bankers and the money-power.
At the evening session time was allowed
Congressman McCleary to give his rea-
sons for an ideal banking system. Mr.
McC1eary did so.
The closing argument for fatism was
made by General Warner. He said the
other side had practically admitted the
quantitive theory of money by contending
for larger bank issue.

AGUINALDO IN HIS GLORY.
Congress of Filipinos mt the Insur-
gent Capital.

LONDON, September 16.-The Manila
correspondent of the Times, telegraphing
Thursday, says:
II am the only foreign journalist pres
ent at the insurgent congress at Malolos,
which has been selected as the temporary
capital Of the revolutionary government.
Early this forenoon Aguinaldo, accompa-
MED by a large staff Of generals and min
listers, moved in state from the convent
now occupied as his military headquar-
tiers, passing between lines OF infantry
and through streets decorated with palms
and banners, and packed with thousands
or peasants in holiday dress, TO the
church, half a mile distant.
Here he was received by the assembled
delegations and conducted to a platform
in the chancel, from which he delivered a
brief message in the Tagalon language,
afterward repeating il in Spanish. The
substance OF the message was mostly
congratulatory on the happy termination
OF the revolution and the complete con-
quest of the territory. He made fiowery
appeal to the delegates, asking them, by
the memory OF the illustrious hatriots of
Philippine history, to follow the example
OF England America, and France in pre-
pairing a constitution, and promulgating
laws TO secure the complete and perma-
nent liberty Of the people of the Philip
pines.

siasm, because II was absolutely non-com-
initial.

THE wINDwARD ISLAND STORM.
Fearful Havoc WrOught-Over $50
Persons Killed in BnrbadOcs.

TRINIDAD, BRITISH WEST INDIES,
September ia steamer which has ar
rived here from Barbados reports that
fearful havoc was caused there by the
hurricane OF Saturday night. The de-
struction of property was immense. It
is believed over $50 persons were killed
throughout the island, and numbers were
rendered homeless and destitute. The
shipping suffered seriously. The ship
Loando, a bark, and two barkentines
broke from their anchorages and were
driven to sea- They had not returned
when the steamer left Barbados. Many
local vessels were wrecked or blown out
to sea.
BRIDGETOWN IN RUINS.
Bridgetown, the capital of the island,
of Barbados, is a scene Of desolation
and ruin. Demolished or roofess houses
are TO be seen on every side, and hardly
a tree Is standing.
DEATHS AT ST. VINCENT.
ST VINCENT, BRITISH WEST IN
DIES September 15.-The official reports
reduce the number of deaths here during
the hurricane. 1t was at first estimated
that three hundred lives were lost. but it
is now believed the number is considera-
bly, smaller. The exact figures are not OBJ
tainable.
The ship Loanda and the bark Grace
Lynwood were cast ashore here and
wrecked.
WIDESPREAD DEVASTATION.
LONDON, September 15.-The dispatch
es received at the Colonial office from the
British authorities in the West Indies in
dicate. as whole, that the earlier re-
ports OF the havoc wrought by the hurri-
cane We're not exaggerated. They show
widespread devastation.
Owing TO the breakdown of the tele-
graph and telephone systems, the real
extent OF the disaster Is unknown but
financial aid is required. People are flock
ing into Kingstown, ST. Vincent, from all
the country round, for shelter and. food. !
It appears that all the small |
and many large ones were de- |
stroyed and there is no doubt that the |
fatalities were numerous
Sir Cornelius Moloney, Governor OF the |
Windward Islands cables that two yes
sells were sunk. and that the fate of many |
others is unknown.
STORM LASTED TEN HOURS.
Hay, reports that the hurricane was OF |
ten hours duration. Already he has been |
officially notified of sixty-one deaths and /
Of thirty-one persons seriously wounded.
The reports from the country districts in
the island are incomplete, but there has
been a heavy loss Of government and prl-
gate property. Assistance is urgently re-
lured.
