Lincoln, Neb., Sei-t. 1. The alli ance of the Nebraska free sliver forces was given good headway by three large conventions, held respectively by the Democrats, Populists and free stiver rcpubll -ans. These gatherings, conducted under separate organiza tions, acted In perfect harmony, and when the routine work had been dis posed of the representatives of the united parties gave their attention to addresses by leading free silver advo cates. The nomination of a union ticket Is assured. The Democratic convention was the most enthusiastic of the three. The hall was failed to its utmost ca pacity. A feature of the opening was the deliberation of State Chairman Dahlman, relative to the terms of union. He said: "We want the Populists to under stand that the Democrats demand their share of the fruits of union. We have conceded but two of the of fices to the Populists, but we think wo have a right to a supreme Judgeship and when this convention appoints Its conference committee and adjourns, I Insist upon every delegate working with the Populist brethcrcn, and urging upon them the necessity of granting us this office." Temporary Chairman Shellenberger made a lengthy speech, ne assorted that the mliston of the Democratic pirty Is to combat the doctrine of pro tection and the gold standard. The Populist convention was char acterized by confusion, as the dele gates insisted on cheering for their party and" their leaders. Temporary Chairman Powers made a short speech in which he urged harmonious action by the allied parties, and counselled a spirit of conciliation on the part of the Populists. The silver Republican convention exhibited very little spirit. Tempor ary Chairman F. W. Loomls made a short speech, urging the forces to keep together and Join hands In co operating with the two other parties in the convention. The three conventions then ap pointed committees and took a recess. The delegates then gathered in the state house grounds and listened to addresses by W, J. Bryan, ex-Congressman Towne, General Weaver and others. Just before the recess permanent chairman were elected as follows: Populist convention, W. A. Pointer, of Boone county. Democratic convention, Attorney General Smy the, of Douglas county. Silver republican convention, A.J. "Weaver, of Klchardson county The Populist convention was called to order at 8:30 by Chairman Pointer, who took occasion to admonish the delegates to deport themselves as gen tlemen, and to remember the dignity conferred in the word'Topullst." The platform reaffirms the principles of the national platform adopted at St. Louis. It reiterates the loyalty of the party to the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. The platform con gratulates W. J. Bryan, who, through defeated, Is still triumphant; who, having neither rank nor riches is the most popular citizen in the republic The coherence committee not hav ing repotred,t$eeccbes were ruado by J. B. Weaver, of Iowa; "Cyclone" Davis, of Texas, and others to take up the time. Mr. Weaver declared that Iowa would be carried by the Popu lists next fall. PLATFORM adopted by the Silver Republicans declares loyalty to the money of the constitution and favors the free and unlimited coinage of gold aodnllver at 10 to 1. without waiting for the consent of any other nation; ItcV iuands that all money shall be Issued by the government of the United States, and denounces Ihe gold stand ard Republican party (or Its effort to retire tbo greenbacks. It demands a strict enforcement of the laws against combinations of capltol. ltchargrs the gold standard Republicans with having deserted the principles of the old Republican party in Its action In St. Louis In 1800, and fn placing capi- COULDN'T tal bcfDrc labor. It favors an income tax and denounces the present tariff law. Regarding prosperity, it says In part. "We recognize injthc bountiful crops tn the country dtid the entire failure of crops In competing counties a splendid advantage to our people by raising the price of farm products, but wo deplore famine In other lands, and want a prosperity that docs not depend upon the adversity of the balance of tho world." W. J. Bryan was seen entering the hall and was called to the platform, where he made a very brief speech. The Democrats sent their confer ence committee to the Joint assembly ot committees unlnstructcd. The platform adopted Indorses the Chicago platform and denounces the attempt made to secure the retirement of the greenbacks; deplores the, delay In set tling tho Hawaiian question, and ex tends sympathy to tho striking min ers. After a number of speeches the convention took a recess until mid night. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 2. At 1 o'clock the committee was in dead lock, with no prospects for fusion, and as far as can bo learned, four ballots were taken, early In the evening on which party should get the supreme Judge nomination, but they all tied, At 1:30 a. m. the committee was considering the question of reporting back to tho convention, and recom mending that a mass convention be held and each delegation be entitled to a full vote. At 2 o'clock this morning ttio com mittee was still In a deadlock. All kinds of propositions for agreement had been voted down. W. J. Bryan was called in to advise with the com mittee. Tho conventions arc still assembled, waiting tn hear from the committee. At 2:30 a. m. the conference com mittee made the following report to the three conventions: "We recommend that the three con ventions meet separately and ballot forjudge. All nominations shall bo untiliono man shall receive a majority of two conventions before another bal lot Is taken. The regents shall bo given to tho parties which do not se cure tho Judge." The report was adopted by theDem- ocratlc convention, but tho committee was not discharged. The Populists adopted the cottago home for their party cmblem.the same symbol as that of the Colorado Popu lists. The Sliver Republicans adopted the liberty bell. Law Will Be Tested. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 2- The members of the state board of medical registration and examination arc hero to take action with reference to tho ult brought in the (United States court by Don Sang, the Crown Point Chinese doctor, to whom the board re fused a certificate to practice (until the effort to have the law declared invalid has been tested. The pro posed Issuance of the certificate will be resisted by the board, which will have at Its command tho services of the attorney-general. Tho members say the t.uit Is not a surprise, and they are rather glad that tho law is to be tested immediately, Down a Silver Professor, President 'Andrews Asked to With draw His Resignation, Will Take a Hand. ViOToniA, B. C, Sept. 2. Japanese papers state that a commlsslo.icr is to be sent by the Japanese- government to the Washington sealing conference this fall, and that he will be instruct ed to side with the United States as to remedial measures for tho preserva vatlon of sealsand sea otter. , Providence, R. I., Sept. 2. Tho corporation of Brown university voter1, after a long mcetlng,to request Pres ident Andrews to withdraw his resig nation as president of that .institu tion. The request was embodied in a resolution to the president of Brown university: Which nays: "It is perfectly true that the vote In question was occasioned by tho differ ent views entertained on tho ono hand by you and on the other hand by most, and possibly all. of the member? of the corporation as to the free and unlimited colnago of silver by tho United States, so far, at least, as af fecting tho Interests of tho univer sity, and tho fear that your views, publicly known or. expressed, might perhaps lc some dcutce be assumed to bo representative and not merely In dividual. It is not in our minds to prescribe tho path in which jou should tread, or to administer to you any official robukc, or to restrain your freedom of opinion or 'reasonable liberty of utterance,' but simply to intimate that It would be tho part of wisdom for you to tako a less active part In exciting partisan discussion and apply your energies more exclu sively to tho affairs of tho college." "In this liberal and Catholic In stitution all members hereof shall en joy full, free, 'absolute and uninter rupted liberty of conscience," which Includes freedom of thought and ex pression, It cannot feel that tho di vergence of views upon the sliver question and of Its effects upon the university between you and the members of the corporation Is ade quate cause of separation IS pro foundly appreciative of the great ser vices you have rendered to the univer sity and of your great sacrifices and lovo of It. It therefore renews lis us- surances of highest respect for you and expresses the confident hope that you will withdraw your resignation." Tho vote on the subject was practi cally unanimous, and taken after speeches had been made by nearly every member of tho corporation. A letter of Ex-Secretary of State Richard Olncy, addressed to tho fac ulty, and bearing upon the contro versy between tho corporation and President Andrews, was read at this meeting. "I thank you for a copy of the open letter bearing your signature, ad dressed to tho corporation of Brown university by members of tho faculty of that Institution. It presents rvo issues. As you know, I do not agree with what I understand to bo Dr. An drews' views respecting the free coin age of silver. I strongly deprecate the action of the corporation, Indeed, upon the preclso ground that nothing could bo better calculated to give cur rency and weight to those views, Just as nothing would give greater impe tus to tariff reforms than an attemrfc by tho authorities of Harvard college toidisclpllne President Elliot for his well-known sentiments respecting 'free trade,' "Tho truo objection, howcvor.to the courso pursued towards Dr. Andrews by tho corporation of Brown univer sity Is Its Implied inculcation of the doctrine that any Institution of learn ing should above all things get rich, and therefore should square Its teach ings and limit tho utterances of Its faculty by the Interests and senti ments of thoso who for the tlmo being are tho rich men of the community, The demoralizing nnd degrading character of this doctrine, your letter fully exposes, and thereby entitles you to the gratitude, not only of Ameri can citizens generally, but of all well wishes to Brown university in partic ular." ". " ' Hawaiian News. San Francisco, Sept. 2. The steamer Australia, from Honolulu direct, arrived with the following Hawaiian advices: Francis M. Hatch, minister to Washington, arrived August 20th, with important Information, which will requlro the attention of both the government and senate, and secret notlco has already been Issued to members of tho latter body calling upon them to meet In extra session on September 0th, to consider tho ques tion. Meanwhile Minister natch Is in almost constant consultation with President Dole and his cabinet. Tho lawmakers will be asked to ratify an annexation treaty recently signed In Washington, and as a majority ot the members favor annexation, tho mat ter will bo rushed through. The season for an extra session of the senate at this early date Is a mat ter of conjecture and much curiosity Is evinced with regard to It. A senator Is authority for the state ment that Minister Hatch brought word to tho effect that President Mc Klnlcy has resolved to call congress together two months earlier than usual for the purpose of disposing of the treaty before the regular session. Another matter to bo considered by the Iltnvallan senate is that of render ing assistance to the executive in un raveling the Japenses muddle. There aro rumors of a split In tho cabinet over tho question, and It Is said the intervention of tho senate Is required to prevent an open rupturg. Tho Hawaiian Star created a sensa tion by tho publication of a scheme, alleged to have been backed by tho sugar trust to block annexation. It is said every Hawaiian In the group had been called upon to appear in Ilonlulu September 14 to participate In a mammoth demonstration against a closer political union with tho United States. Senators Morgan and Quay aro expected to arrlyo from tho United States on that dayplind tho object of tho antl-aunexutlonlsts is to impress them with tho feeling on tho islands. . James B. Castle, who has held tho post of collector of customs since tho queen was deposed, has resigned on account of 111 health. HAWAIIAN ORPHANS. San Francisco, Sept. 2.

New York, Sept. 2.-Bar stiver made a new record In thl9 market Wednesday. Tho quoted price was 51J cents an ounce, ono quarter of a cent below tho previous low record. Tho fall Is accounted for by tho sus pension of the sale of India council bonds for 10 weeks. This Is equiv alent to shutting of tho supply of ex change on India, and Is likely to re sult In a rise of Indian exchange to tho gold shipment point, and is re garded as removing one of the sus taining factors to tho price of silver. At today's price of silver bullion tho value of tho silver in tho stan dard silver dollar is 39.02 cents. Went to Pieces. Portsmouth, O., Sept. 2.
