Free Coinage.
St. 1/)L’IS, Out. 5—The last day of t he
Pan-American Blmetalllo convention
opened an hour late, but with the
purpose to complete its work without
further delay.
The committee on resolutions pre
sented a supplement report, uufavora
bly passing upon a proposition by
Thomas W. llerrou to take action look
ing to the endorsement of the removal
of the national capital farther west,
also favoring the printing and oiroula
tion of the address delivered yesterday
by Walter N. Allen of Kansas upon the
exception clause of the silver law.
The report was adopted without dis-
sent.
The question then came upon the
adoption of the report of the resolu-
tions committee.
Delegate Waterbury of Kansas mov-
ed the amendment of the report by
the addition of a proposition presented
by H. M. Taylor of Mexloo favoring an
Increase in the volume of currency by
the Issue of legal tender notes, secured
by land values.
Upon this motion Delegate Cochran
of Missouri took the floor in opposition
to any and all efforts to say or do any-
thing in this convention upon the
money question other than to fully
and entirely endorse the free coinage
of stiver.
Mr. Taylor replied in defense of his
proposition, urging that money based
upon 6uoh security was as safe as the
money based upon the honor of our
government -as are the $.110,000,000
greenbacks.
Delegate Waterbury, upon a text of
$571 per oapUa of public and private
debt, pleaded for an increase of the
volume of ourrenoy with which to meet
it, by the means proposed in the mi-
nority report.
For a majority of the committee on
resolutions Governor Tillman of South
Carolina spoke briefly, declaring it was
the desire of his oommittee to concen-
trate the efforts of the convention
upon its central purpose—bi metal-
lism—and for that reason It 6eemed
unwise for them to seek more now, no
matter how alluring the prospects.
Governor Waite of Colorado begged
the convention not to be diverted from
the one great issue. Until the suooess
of bi metallism showed Wall street to
have lost its grip upon legislation it
was impossible to secure any other
form of financial legislation. As to
the west and south they could control
the politios of the country, if it became
neoessary. He declared his belief that
there was millions of money now In
Washington with whioh to buy oon-
gress. And with such a condition the
soath and west must unite.
Delegates Taylor, Waterbury and
Waite withdrew their minority report.
Then with a motion to adopt the ma-
jority report pending, the convention
adjourned to 2 p. m.
The afternoon session, pending no-
tion upon the report of the resolution
oommittee, a resolution was offered
providing, in the event of the failure of
congress to provide adequately for the
use of silver as money, for the calling
of a national convention in January,
1894, under the auspices of the gov-
ernors of Missouri, South Carolina,
Arkansis and Colorado, Including
delegates from every state and terri
tory, labor and agricultural organiza-
tion, to take action looking to a thor-
ough agitation of the question before
another election.
Pending action upon this the regu-
lar order was called for and S. S. King,
of Kansas City, speaking to the sixth
olause of the resolutions, presented
the report of the doings of the reoent
gulf transportation oonfeaenoe at Chi-
cago, and pleaded for a new route to
the old world, a relief from the com-
mercial tyranny of New York and Chi-
cago, as he said.
Governor Tillman, of Soath Caro-
lina, then took the floor to close the
debate on the resolution reports. He de
dared the finance question presented
bat another form of slavery—white
slavery. As to sectionalism, every
seotion had and would vote as its in
terests demanded. As to thie he was
not uneasy, but he was to the adhesion
to party, making so many men forget
that others have rights. Touching
again upon sectionalism and re
construction he deolared himself a
Hamburg rioter and asked what made
him so. It was negro domination.
The end justified the means. He had
no apologies t j make for the attempts
to seonre honest government by honeet
men, unawed by the baronets of
Grant’s soldiers. Coming onoe more
to the present he took up statistics to
show that the west and south oould
control the presidency and senate and
within nine of a majority of the honse
and these men oonld be picked np east
of the Mississippi. Would the weet
meet the south?
Governor LewelliDg answered what
would the governor of South Carolina
ask? Had not Kansas sent ex-oon-
federates to the oongress? Was not
this an olive branch of peace? Was it
not sufficient evidenoe that the old
issues were dead? That the bloody
chasm was crossed and that the west
was prepared to do her part.
As Governor Lewelllog closed Gov-
ernor Tillman rose and the two gover-
nors grasped hands on a oommon plat-
form amid cheers whioh subsided only
when tire convention exhausted Itself.
With the cessation of the oheering
the question was pat on the majority
report of ths oommittee on resolutions
life ,J i 'r a-f -
and it was adopted unanimously in the
foi m telegraphed last night The res-
olution providing for the oall of a nat
lonal convention in January was with-
drawn, and after the transaction of
some minor business including the
passage of the usual resolutions of
thanks, the convention adjourned
sine die, having first provided for the
calling of another convention, If deem-
ed necessary, by the president and
secretary of the Fan American Bl-Me-
talllo Association.
At au informal conference this even*
ing between Governors Lewelling of
Kansas, and Tillman, of South Caro-
lina, and the president and secretary
of the convention, It was decided prac-
tically to hold another convention at
Atlanta, Ga., a year hence.

Kansas City, Oct. 5—An Oklahoma
special says: The people of Oklahoma
yid the Cherokee strip have at last be-
come aroused over the enormity of
frauds incident to the reoent opening
of the strip and are wiring Delegate
Flynn at Washington to force an In-
vestigation more complete than that
already stated. An Investigation
which is asked for by both Democrats
and Republicans alike, it Is claimed,
will disclose a great many oases of
fraud that have not yet come to the
surface. The people claim that be-
sides the alleged corruption practiced
at the administration booths by the
soldiers a steal on muoh larger pro-
portions was perpetrated in the heart
of the city of Perry. It is alleged that,
with the aid of the soldiers, certain
government officials and deputy mar-
shals stole whole blooks of valuable
lots In Perry on which they have been
allowed to settle. It is also now
charged that at Perry the bribery and
corruption In the line while waiting to
file was open and unblushing, and was
not interfered with by the officers in
charge of the land office.
The examination into the killing of
John R. Hill, of New Jersey, now be-
ing carried on by the government at
Arkansas City, has developed the fact
that bribery of booth officials through
soldiers who were on guard at the
booths was boldly and systematically
carried on.
Guthrie, Okla , Oct. 5—J. W. Clark,
the man who robbed the Mulhall post-
office Monday night, was captured at
Santa Fe In the Cherokee Strip, while
trying to trade the stamps for some-
thing to eat. He went into the Strip
for a town lot, failed to get anything,
spent all his money and was obliged to
steal to keep from starving. There are
a score or more in the Strip towns In a
similar plight. On every 6ide people
are suffering and robberies and bur-
glaries are increasing alarmingly.

London, Oot. 5—A dispatch received
n this city from Buenos Ayres says
that DeMellos resumed the bombard-
ment of Rio de Janeiro today. The
db patch adds that the banks and bus-
iness offices are dosed and that busi-
ness is at a stand still.
The Bank of England has received a
cablegram from Rio whioh states that
while the banks in that city are open
no business is being done. The dis-
patoh adds that the sugar .interest has
thus far esoaped the general depres-
sion and that the ports of Bohia, Per-
nambuco, and Para have not been mo
lested. _
Killed and Wounded Robbers.
Essex, Mon., Oot. 5—Word has just
reached here that the posse stationed
at Java, the second station west of the
summit of the Rookies, sighted the
train robbers a little after ten o’clock
yesterday and commanded them to
surrender. Upon their refusing the
officers opened fire, killing one and
wounding two, while the fourth man
surrendered. One of the wounded
men took to the hills and the posse is
in pursuit._
Police Stoned by Boys.
Indianapolis, Ind., Oot. 5—The spe-
cial polioe on guard at the Big Four
shops in Indlanola were stoned this
morning by boys who were in sympathy
with the strikers. An offioer drew his
revolver and fired into the crowd,
wounding a young man named Stamm
in the hand. For a time a battle be
tween the guard and the crowd seemed
imminent, but peaoe was finally re-
stored. _
Graves’ Effects Sold.
Povidence, R. I, Oot, 5—The house-
hold etfeots of Dr. T. Thatoher Graves,
the alleged mnrderer, who died in jail
in Denver, were sold at auction today.
From cellar to garret every room was
explored by relio hunters. The entire
lot of stuff offered for sale was insign-
ificant. It is evident that Mrs. Graves
intended to preserve everything of
value and to dispose of the rest.
The Union Pacific Will Hold Oot.
Omaha, Oot. 5—General Passenger
Agent Lomax of the Union Pacific, is
quite complacent over the pending
consideration of his ultimatum by the
Western Passenger Association, whioh
meets in Chioago next Tuesday. Speak-
ing of the matter today, Mr. Lomax
said he would maintain his position to
the end. _
