Chairman Powers reported that the
committee had already secured
pledges from responsible citizen for
over three thousand dollars and they
had spent little over two hours in

A most valuable suggestion was made
by Mr.. Martinez, and itswas to the eff
feet, that the money that would be ex-
pended in fireworks should be utilized
In purchasing permanent 1llum1natiOns
which could be used at subsequent en-
tertainments of the kind.
After some minor details had been
discussed the meeting adjourned.
j. A. Rogers, proprietor of Chopin
hal, has offered to let the committee

occasions.

committee, who has taken an active

poER WAR HELPING SILVER.
Ex-senator Dubois Says 1t VIII he
influential In Campaign.

CHICAGO, Dec. "a. - IF war In the
Transvaal continues for two or three
months longer, the cause OF silver will
have been won," said former United States
Senator Dubois, of Idaho, one OF the Silver
Republican leaders, who was In Chicago
today.
'.The short time it has been in prog
ress," continued Mr.. Dubois. "has fur
nished proof of the contentious of the
friends of silver that there is not enough
gold in the world to form the basis Of the
worlds money, and If the war continues
the length Of time l have indicated, the
truth of this will have become too appar-
ent for successful contravention.
.'I believe the Transvaal war will be a
mighty influence In the campaign OF next
year in this country, and that the object
lesson will convince the people OF this
country that it Is not safe to place upon
gold the entire burden of the monetary
volume of the world.
1T may be interesting to observe that
the panic in New York was simultaneous
with the passage of the house gold stand
ard bill. Now. II panic had followed the
passage of silver free coinage bill the
wise men and the press of the land would
have attributed 1t to the passage Of the
