GOLD DEMOCRATS
Trying To Decide What They Want
To Do

INDIANAPOLIS, led, July 25.-The
national committee of gold democrats
met here to-day to consider the best
plans to follow in the present cam
paign. II is likely that a ticket will
be nominated but this will not be de-
fnitsly decided upon until this evening,
when q conference will be held to de-
eide whether or not such course will
be advisable.
George Foster Peabody, chairman of
the committee, has received letters
from democrats all over the coun9ry
who four years ago followed the stan
dard of Palmer and Buckner, in which
the writer's give their opinions as to
what stand should be taken this year
These opinions widely differ. Some
say they will support the republican
candidates because OF the position taken
by the republicans garding
the currency: others believe that there
should again be q third ticket placed
in the field for those who are oppose d
to free silver and who cannot bring
themselves to vote for Mckinley. A
third view is that the currency ques-
tion In this campaign is overshadowed
by other issues, and thst democrats
should support Bryan.

EASILY WORKED.
A Middle Aged Woman played a
Soft Skin Game.

Yesterday q rather handsome middle
agee woman went around among busi-
ness men trying to get enough money
to send a little boy, whose mother, she
said, was dying in hospital here, to
his grand mother in New Mexico
She always lacked one dollar of hav-
ing the required amount, and it is
thought that she collected over one
hundred dollars on her scheme.
She could pot be found today and the
general supposition fs that she left
town last night for some new field.

A BOLD ROBBEQ
Has Been Making Trouble for Mr..
penncbdker

pennebdker
Yesterday the herald c,ntaired
an item giving az account of u daylight
Pennebaker on North Oregon street.
Yesterday morning he told a HERALD
maa that he guessed the burglar
would take wagon to his house the
next time so as to take the few things
that he had left on Monday.
It seems that when the house was
entered on Monday entrance was made
through window which the burglar
had broken. Yesterday afternoon Mr..
Pennebaker sent Mexican up TO re-
place the broken window. When be
arrived at the house at abous oclock
a negro man walked out of the house
as though he owned it and slowly
walked down the street.
The Mexican supposed that Mr..
Pennebaker had also sent the negro
up to do some work about tue place
and did not notify Mr. Pennebaker un-
til he had finished his work and re-
turned to the store. But very good
only from the Mexican but also from
neig hbors across the street who
saw him go in aud come out and from
the matter-of-iact way that he went
about it it was thought that be had
been sent there to work.
Mr.. Pennebaker thinks il is the same
man who has robbed the place before
and the Police are hot on his trail and
his arrest is expected at any time.
Juan Franco, the dete ctive. today
found Mexican woman who knew of
the Pennebsker robbery. and went
across the river with her after the
stolen goods.
1t is thought that the negro was
working with Mexican and Mr. Franco
thinks he will l and one If not both men

MORE DOUBT CAST

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The dispatch
from Minister. Conger received this
| morning through Capt. Thomas can
have but little effect upon the cred bi-
lity of Conger's message received
through Minister WI, save in casting
doubt upon it's genuinenesss.
It would seem probable that Conger
in the WI message, would have said
something about sending this messae e
of July 4, although it is possible that
be had, at the time OF sending that OF
July Is, a belief that his earlier mes
sage had been received.
By this dispatch all of the stories OF
the rule of anarchy 10 the Chinese
capital are confirmed. It is easy to
imagine what was likely to happen to
handful of men, eIcum bered Dy
women and children and surrounded by
fanatical mob of bloodthirssy, half
savage people.
moved by the message of the 18th are
now revived at the departments by
this latest news. It is too early, til
cials say, to predict precisely what
will be done, but this message will un-
doubtediy have an immediate effect to.
ward the hurrying OF the relief expedi-
tiou to Pekin.
Apparently the message wandered
far field from the direct route In
coming in from Pekin to Taku. a die
tsnce of 14O miles. No doubt the run
Ter or runners made wide detour to
avoid interference by hostiles.
AS these were especially active in
and around Tien Tsin, the runnt r
probably circled to the southwsrd and
returned only after the allied forces
had taken the city and the approach
was safe.
Only in this way can the time-17
days-be accounted for. That the
dispatch was sent, not to Consul
Fowler at Che Foo, but direct to the
commander of the feet, only empha-
sizes Conger's sense of the extreme
danger OF his situation.
It is also believed that Coneer has
sent out not two, but many, dispatches
OF similar import, praying for relief,
enclosing them in notes to Chinese
officials, and begging them to forward
the messages to someone connected
with the United States government.
This one has run through many vicis-
STUDIES. and at length reached its des-
tinatioD. Others may or may not fol-
low.

"CHEE Foo, July "a "A written mes-

PUERTO RICO QUESTION.

The New York Mail and Express
publishes what seems to be an inspired
editorial on the Puerto Rico question,
in which the presidents position is
clearly defined. 1.-THE case is a very
simple one says the Mail and Elk
press. THE president made his
recommendation last December to give
Puerto Rieo's products free access to
our markets because he believed it was
right and best, considering the con-
dition of mat island, and not because
it was required by the constitution.
He has not changed that view. If that
were the sole principle involved, We
are authorized to say, he would insist
upon it though he stood alone. Since
his Recommendation, however, another
principle has been invoked involving
the most vital question connected with
the whole matter OF our new territorial
possessions. The president believes
that congress has the constitutional
power to levy duties upon the pro-
ducts Of the new territorial acquisi-
tions. 8
This is denied especially by demo-
Gratis II they can prevent its asser-
ton; still if they a have such
action BY congress as denies its ex-
istence,sthen they can go to the coun-
try with the argument that the admin
~istration has, BY its policy acquired
new populations untitled for state
hood yet claiming the rights Of full
citizenship and the right to inundate
y markets with their products free
q customs duty, thus irnpairing the
value Of our own labor by competition
with the cheapest labor in the world.
question, therefore, is not be-
