the national and state legislation shall
be such as w ill ultimately enable
every prudent and industrious citizen
to secure a home, aud therefore the
land should not be monopolized for
speculative purposes. A ll lands now
held by railways aud other corporations
in excess of their actual needs should,
by lawful means, be reclaimed by the
government and held for actual settlers
only, and private land monopoly, as
well as alien ownership, should be pro­
hibited.
Second— W e condemn the frauds by
which the land grants to Pacific rail­
road companies have, through the con-
nivanoe of the interior department,
robbed multitudes of bona-fide settlers
of tbeir homes and miners of their
claims, aud we demand legislation by
congress which w ill enforce the exemp­
tion of mineral land from such grants
after, as well as before, patenting.
Third— We demand that bona fide
settlers on all publio lands be granted
free homes, as provided in the national
homestead law, and that no exception
be made in the case of Indian reserva­
tions when opened for settlement, and
that all lands not now patented come
under this demand.

S t Louis, Mo.— A t the first day’s
aeaaion of the silver convention not
mnoh headway was made.
The pro­
gramme of the conference was all ar­
ranged in advance. It included simply
the adoption of a 16-to-l platform and
the nomination of Bryan and Bewail,

able to exercise an influence in shaping
things in the Populist convention. To
this end, they appointed a oommittee of
seven, headed by Judge Scott, of C ali­
fornia, to meet a similar oommittee of
the Populists for the purpose of reach­
ing a common plan of action.
The
convention was oalled to order by N a­
tional Chairman Mott, who introduced
Francia B. Newlands, of Nevada, aa
temporary ohairman.
Mr. Newlanda
addressed the convention at some
length, and was followed by other
speakers setting forth the claims of the
silverites.
T h e S econd D a y .
The second day's session of the silver
convention was given over to speeches
and songs.
No bnsiness of any im ­
portance was transacted.
The ladies
were in evidenoe, and the assembly
was addressed by Mrs. Helen Conger,
of Indiana, who denounced the gold-
bug monopolists as " W a ll street plu­
tocrats” and "English bond sharks"
and said the only salvation of the peo­
ple from serfdom was to declare for the
free ooinage of silver.
T h e T h ir d D a y .
It was ten miuntes to 11 o’olock
when Chairman S t John oalled the
silver convention to order.
G. W.
Baker, of California, said that* the
People’s Party convention had appoint-
a conference committee and moved
that the convention defer action
on the platform and postpone the nom­
ination until 3:30 P. M.
The motion
prevailed.
No business was transacted daring
the day, the time being taken up in
the rendering of silver speeches,
poems and songs.
Friday night, after the committee of
seven appointed to confer with the
Populists, bad reported that no agree­
ment oonld be reached, the convention
proceeded to close its business. The
platform was read and adopted w ith ­
ont change. A motion was then made
to nominate Bryan and Sewall by ac­
clamation.
Am id mnoh excitement
the motion carried. The oonvention
then adjourned sine die.
T h e F la t fo r m .
The demonetization of silver in 1873
enormously inoreased the demand for
gold, enhancing the purchasing power
and lowering all prioea measured by
that standard, and since that uDjust
and indispensable act, the prices of
American products have fallen npon an
average nearly 50 per cent, carrying
down with them proportionately the
money value of all other forms of prop­
erty. Such fall of prices has destroyed
the profits of legitimate industry, in­
juring the producer for the benefit of
the non-producer, increasing the bur­
den of the debtor, swelling the gains of
the oreditor, paralyzing the productive
energies of the American people, rele­
gating to idleness vast numbers of
w illing workers, sending the shadows
of despair into the home of the honest
toiler, filling the land with tramps and
paupers, and building np colossal for­
tunes at the money oenters.
In the effort to maintain the gold
standard, the country has, within the
last four years, in a time of profound
peaoe and plenty, been loaded down
with a 1363,000,000 of additional in­
terest-bearing debt, under such cir-
cumtsances as to allow a syndicate of
native and foreign bankers to realize a
net profit of millions on a single deal.
It stands confessed that the gold-
atandard can only be upheld by so de­
pleting our paper currency as to foroe
the prices of onr products below the
European and telow the Asiatic level,
and enable ns to sell in foreign mar­
kets, thus aggravating the very misery
of which our people so bitterly com­
plain, degrading Amerioan labor and
striking at the foundations of onr civ­
ilization itself.
The advocates of the gold standard
persistently olaim that the cause of our
distress is overproduction; that we
have produced so much that it has
made ns poor; which implies that the
true remedy is to close the factory,
abandon the farm and throw a multi­
tude of people out of employment, a
doctrine that leavea us disheartened
and without hope for the future.
We affirm it to be unqestionable that
there can be no auch economic paradox
as overproduction and at the same time
tens of thousands of onr fellow-citizens
remain half-clothed and half fed, and
who are piteously clamoring for the
oommon necessities of life.
Inasmnch as the patriotic majority
of the Chicago oonvention embodied in
the financial plank of ita platform the
principles enunciated by the American
bimetallio party, promulgated at Wash­
ington, D. C ., Janaary 33, 1896, and
herein reiterated, whiob ia not only
paramount, but the only real issne in
the pending cam.aign; therefore, rec­
ognizing that their nominees embody
these patriotio principles, we recom­
mend that this convention nominate
W. J. Bryan, of Nebraska, for presi­
dent, and Arthur bewail, of Maine,

the Wasbougal this morning, and went

about 10 o'olock.
Four got into the
boat, whioh dipped water, frightening
the inmates, and in some way the boat
upset.
Mis. Lipscomb, the only w it­

of those upset all the way from the
oamp. She rushed out and saw Morris
and Misa Guard olingiug to the up­
turned boat.
The others bad already
sunk. Before she oonld reach the bank,
Morris and Misa Guard too had gone
down.
The bodiea were in the water over an
hoar before the other members of the
party returned to oamp.
The bodiea
were plainly seen on the bottom,

Seattle, Wash., July 37.— Follow ­

days ago, oomea the accredited repre­
sentatives to this oity of another Ori­
ental steamship line, the Toyo Kisen
Kabushiki Kaisha, whioh is also seek­
ing Amerioan connections.
The party
consists of Sochira Asano, president of
the company; H. Okawa, director in
the O ji Paper Company, near Tokio;
Shnnjiro Tomika, a captain in the ser­
vice of the steamship company, and
Hironyki Kobayashi, interpreter for
Mr. Asano.
The visitors, who represents great
wealth, came to the city quietly, spent
the day in making an inevstigation,
and left this evening for Taooma.
Thence they go to Portland for a day,
thence to San Francisco. From the
latter point Asano w ill proceed to Lon­
don and place contracts for the con­
struction of twelve 5,000-ton vessels,
to be need on the line, whioh w ill rnn

and Hong Kong.
The resnlt of the day's investigation,
while nothing definite has been an­
nonnoed, leads to a belief that the
terminns w ill be either Seattle or
Portland.
Business for the month of Jnly has
been better than was expeeted, and the
majority of the merchants are well aat-

Key West, July 37.— Private letters
from Matanzaa, Cnba, to responsible
merchants I d this city, give shocking
details connected with the capture by
the Spanish of rebel hospitals located
in that province. Dr. Izquerdo, sur­
geon of the Caban army, with assist­
ants and corps of nnrsea, were all, it is
alleged, pat to the machete while the
helpless sick and wounded were assas­
sinated in their oota and the building!
then burned over their heads to oover
up the crimee. Rios and Montanera,
the two men who were imprisoned on
acoount of the diaoovery of arms in San
Rafael street at Havana yesterday,
have been barbarously whipped by the
Spanish police. The first one waa tor­
tured. A woman was arrested who has
been confined for three days in a cell.
