Walter Q- Gresham Is No More, FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS. His Death a Great Loss to the Nation. CLEVELAND AT TUE WHITE HOUSE The Remains Will Be Taken to Chicago. Washington, May 28. Secretary Gresham died at 1:16 o'clock this mor ning. About 5:30 o'clock last evening he sank so rapidly that his death was momentarily expected Kestoratives were applied and hypodermic injec tions of nitroglycerine and strychnine made. Hia blood vessels were in a state of collapse, and his condition ro critical that the physicians decfded that transfusion was necessary to stim ulate his heart. A vein in his left arm was opened and a pint and a half of normal saline solution infused. The operation was successful and about 9 Gresham somewhat revived. Shortly after Dr. Johnson issued the follewing: ."Gresham's.illness has been acute pleurisy with effusion, beginning on Mayl. From May 13 his condition was entirely favorable, and a speedy recovery was confidently expected. On the 25th symptoms of a relapse ap peared, due to acute -pneumonia. The present alarming condition is duo to weakness of the heart's action. Thero seems to be little or no hopo ot his recovery. The secretary's giant frame was con vulsed with a severe chill at 0:30. He sank rapidly, but the chill passed away, and he revived slightly, then dosed for a few minutes. The pbysiclauH con tinued to inject nitroglycerine, and at 10:20 he sullered another rigor, but at 10:45 he became conscious and talked rationally. At 11 his vitality began to ebb, and at 12 o'clock he had ceased talking, and the doctors retired to an ante room. For the last hour the secuetary gave no Indication of pulse or heaitbeat. Mn.

WANT HIE SINGLE GOLD STANDARD A Strong Prosontntion of That Cause. The Memphis "Sound Monei" con ference ado t.-d the follewing: "The people of t'10 Southern states who b?liovo the maiuteuance of a sound a d stable currency to be essential to tbe prisperlty oftlie whole country, vtid the welfare of the people In all vo "tUns of life, do, through their repre sentatives in convention assembled at Memphis, ou Mav 23, 1895, mako the fo lowing declaration of their matured convictiens: "First Believing a uniform aud certain standard of value necessary to the agricultural, commercial and in dtmtrinl development and prosperity of our common country, wo favor the maintenance of all our money, whether gold, silver or paper, on a parity, to the end that eaoh dollar, whatever miy bo Its composition, shall havo equal purchasing and debt-paying potfer with every other dollar. "Second Profiting by the exper ience of Wachiugtiu, Jefferson and Hamilton, and the teachings of the qreat students of monetary science from the time when John Locke wrote, to the discussion of tho present day, we accept the truth of the prin ciple, now unjyersally recognized and applied in the whole world, that a bl metallia standard cannot be main tained where tho ratio fixed by law for the coinage of gold and silver does nt correspond and that wherover tho legal tender, or coinage, latlo yarles from the market or commercial ratio to any appreciable extent, the dollar, whethei of gold or silver, which there by becomes more valuable as bullion thnu a-i m iney, will go to a premium and rttlrt from circulation. We saw t'ais principle applied in our own na tional experience, when, under the act of 18."7, whloh fixed tho coinage ratio at 15 to l, gold retired from circulation because of a slight deollne in the price of silver In tho open market, whereby the bullion in a gold dollar becamo wortli a few cents more than the bul lion In a silver dollar, and was there fore sold as a commodity because It was worth more as bullion than as money, and again under the act of 1834, which llxoi the ratio at 10 to 1, when the sllvor coin was retired for a like reason. We aro, therefore, opposed to tho free, unlimited and Independent colnago of sliver at the ratio of 10 to 1, when the market or tho commercial ratio is more than 30 to 1, and the dlfierenco be tween tho bullion value of a gold and silver dollar Is about 50 cents, on tho ground.tliut such action, Instead of restoring the bbmetalllo standard, would luovltably result In silver mono, metalllsm, "Third At this time there Is no country In the world whloh maintains the bimetallic standard, aud neither Is thero any country where froo coinage of silver obtains which Is not on a sil ver t owls, Kach country, on account of lis Inability to adopt Independently any bimetallic standard, mutt elect for Itself which It prefers, the gold or the silver etandard, VVo, therefore, favor, In tho absence of International co-op-trailou, the retention and maintenance of the existing gold etaudard, became a change front the gold to the silver etaudaid would have the elfeot lo re. pudlateuM public and private obllen tlou io ill extent of the dlttereuoe Lu twen the bullion value of the gold and ellyer dollar) because, whenever nuoh ooluu'iu ehould,he seriously threatened, It would cause an Immediate attempt at it collection and llmiidmion of all debt In ailllolpatlou of (he reeult it would produce; hwjuuko miuIj Irauollloii from the gold t the ellver Imvle would destroy public mid prlvitle conldence and would Involve the country In eueh panic, iionfiifdoh and dmira (hat the product of ugrlcu tire mid wugt of labor would ho unremuorMlvet the btieliiMM of commerce ;wnuhl Ix-come unproliuhie, and our puopiveugiiged in Industrial operation would he thrown out of employment beiumtv thvre l md a proHrlvei mi enlightened country In Die world wtilyii t net HmUd lite kOld M ll prtf;rrr)heM;uJurdj bruv Mold counliJi rtiKlu JJw Ui kt)r circulation on a parity with gold, whereas thero Is no silver standard country whloh docs or can utilize gold as money; because thero is not a silyer country on the globe where tho wages ef labor are sufficient to sustain the working classes in comfort and inde pendence aud, finally, becauso the high destiny of the United States do mands for tho uso of tho American people that money which experience baa taught mankind to bo the best suited for the promotion of commerce, the development of manufactures, the eucouragement of labor and tho ad vancement of civilization. "Fourth Wo would rejolco over the adoption of a real bimetallism, but In 'view of the continued fluctuations in tho price of silver In the open market we realize that It is impossible for the United States independently to adopt a bimetallic standard, and wo deem it uuwlso and hazardous to tho best in terests of its people for this country to adopt its establishment. Wo favor the policy of this country standing tn the attitude of readiness at all times to co operate with other powers tn any effort they may inaugurate looking to the adoption of true bimetallism, but lu tho meantime, aud until successful opera tion is insured, to maintain inviolate its existing standard of value. "Fifth Wo favor tho retention as part of our money the silver now coined, aud in order to givo a wider field for tho uso of sliver and silver certificates, below tho denomina tion of ?10, we favor the withdrawal of higher denominations so as to make our entire sllvor circulation below the denomination of $10, either silver or sliver certificates, and to this end the secretary of the treasury should bo au thorized by law to coin from time to lime, as the people may require them silver dollars, uutll the demand of commerce for money bolow the denom ination of f 10 Is at all times satisfied. "Sixth We realize that our national banking system was adopted during a time of war and that It is not adapted to existing conditions. Wo, therefore, favor such legislation as will securo to the people a system of banking sur rounded by such safeguards as will at all times furnish thorn a 8uro,velastio and sufficient currency for tho trans action of their business. "Seventh Wo caunot too highly recommend tho unflagging courage and sturdy patriotism of President Cleveland in his efforts to proteot the the national honor and to maintain the publlo credit during a period of great fiuanolal distress and under con ditions whloh threaten danger to both; and we congratulate him .and the en tire country ou tho evidence of return ing prosperity," The reading of tho resolutions was frequently Interrupted by applause. Resolutions endorsing tho work of tho reform committee on sound cur rency of New York and urging the organization in tho southern states of sound money clubs and carry on tho campaign begun at this convention were adopted. In response to numer ous calls, Congressman Patterson made a spoooh on the work of the conven tion. At the conclusion of Mr. Pat toriiou's remarks, a resolution was adopted authorising tho appolntmeut of n committee of ouo delegate from oach state represented to superintend the distribution of proper sound money literature. Tho convention then ad journed sine die. Eighty Drowned. Cadiz, May 28. Tho French Bteauior, Dom Pedro, bouud for Car rlllo, Spain, lias been wrecked off Our- rubedo.
