JOHN SITTIIIN SPEAKS
He Gives Ohio Republicans His Tariff
and Silver Views.
es CONVENTION CHAIRMAN.
Mr. Sherman Declares That Free Silver
Would Mean the Depreciation of the
Value of Our National Dollar
to About Fifty Cents.
ZANESVILLE, 0., May 29.—The Repub-
lican state convention opened this after-
noon for the nomination of a full ticket
and other business affecting the selection
of the successor to Senator Brice and the
choice of the party in this state for the Re-
publican nomination for president. The
balloting will not begin until tomorrow.
The conferences of delegates showed
that the senatorial and presidential issues
overshadowed the contests for places on
the state ticket.
Senator John Sherm In acted as tempo-
rary chairman. In opening the convention
he said:
“Gentlemen of the convention, you have
met to designate the next govornor of the
state of Ohio. You have still a higher
duty—to announce the principles and pol-
icy of the Republican party. What you
will say here will have an important in-
fluence beyond the limits of your state, for
the intelligent action of the Republicans
of Ohio will. as in the past, indicate the
opinions of Republicans in all parts of the
United States.
“We are in favor of a protective tariff.
We had such a tariff. While it was in
force we had prosperity. good times and
money plenty. We beliew that the policy
of protection should be extended to all
productions impartially, to labor' on the
farm as well as in the workshop.
“We are opposed to the Democratic pol-
icy of protecting woolen manufactures and
admitting Wool free of duty. We denounce
a scheme of taxation which annually in-
creases .the public debt more than $50,000,-
000. The tariff law of the last congress is
partly a'ccpy and generally a failure. '
Tariff Reform and Currency.
“We demand a reform in the tariff, not
to promote sectional interests. but to se—
cure ample revenue. and impartial protec-
tion to domestic industries. We wanta
change.
“We are in favor of a sound national
currency, always redeemable in coin. All
forms of money should be of equal pur-
chasing power. For 14 years after the re
sumption of specie payments, while the
Republican party was in power, we had
such a currency. We had gold, silver and
paper money, all bearing the stamp and
sanction of the United States, of unques—
tioned credit and of equal value, passing
current not only within the United States,
but in all parts of the commercial world.
“Both gold and silver are indispensable
for use in the varied wants of mankind.
Gold is now and, has been for ages the
chief measure of value in international
commerce and the larger transactions of
domestic exchanges. Silver, from its bulk
and weight, is not available for large pay-
ments either at home or abroad, but it is
indispensable in the minor wants of man-
kind.
“Gold, free from its greatly superior
value, cannot be utilized for such pur-
poses. Therefore it is that both metals
have been coined into money at a fixed
ratio.
”It is a universal law that price or value
is measured by quantity. Under these
conditions the rational and proper course
would be a change of ratio, but this can
only be effective as to those two metals by
a concert of action among commercial na-
tions: Until this can be accomplished, the
only logical way is for each nation to coin
both metals and maintain the coinage of
the cheaper metal at par by limitation of
amount, and redemption when in excess
of the demand for it.
The Policy of 1853.
”I believe that the policy of the United
States, adopted in 1853, of coining frac-
tional silver coins in limited quantities,
from silver bullion purchased at market
price and making them legal tender for
small sums is the only way to preserve the
parity of gold and silver coins at a fixed
ratio.
”The policy now urged by the producers
of silver and by men who wish to pay
their debts in cheaper money than they
promised to pay is the free coinage of sil-
ver. This means the single standard of sil-
ver and the demonetization of gold. It is
the degradation of our dollar to 50 cents.
It confers no favors on producers of any
kind, whether of the farm, the workshop
or the mine, for if they. get nominally
more dollars for , their productions their
additional dollars would have only one-
half the purchasing powar of the gold dol-
lars. .
"The great hardship of this policy would
fall upon the workingmen, skilled or un-
skilled. whose wage measured by the pres-
ent standard is higher than in any other
country of the world. Their wages will
purchase more of the necessaries of life
than the wages paid for similar labor any—.
where outside of the United States. It is
a false pretense that the cheapening of
money will be beneficial to them.
“The Republican party in its national
platform of 1892 demanded good money of
equal purchasing power which is coined of
silver or gold or composed of United States
notes and national bank notes based upon
the credit of the United States. maintained
at par with coin. This is the bimetallic
policy. There we stand today. I hope
and trust there we will stand forever.”
Suicide of a Bartender.
NEW YORK, May 29.-—Disappointment in
love is supposed to have bsen the cause
that led William Gowaeck, Ell ' years old,
' who lived at 403 East Sixty-fourth street.
to take his life. Gowaeck was a bartend-
er, but was out of employment. He en-
tered the saloon of Mr. Werner at 323 East
Fifty-fourth street and went into the yard
at the rear, where he shot'himself.

AI‘TER HENRY VILLARD.
Small Sum 05955453000.
MILWAUKEE, May 29.—Henry Villard
will probably soon be called into court to
make an accounting of over $500,000 of
Northern Pacific money which the receiv-
ers, Messrs. Payne. Reuse and Oakes, be-
lieve he has unlawfully withheld. The
’facts are set forth in a long report filed by
the receivers, and in which they claim that
in the transactions growing out of the
purchase and transfer to the Northern Pa-
cific of the Northern Pacific and Manitoba
road Mr. Villard- withheld $545,000,
which the receivers will seek to recover.
The receivers called on Mr. Villard for
an explanation, with the request that if he
had any offsets or credit that had been
.»
HENRY VILLABD.
overlooked he should notify them. Mr.
Villard replied, denying his liability to
any accounting to the receivers. In his first
letter in response to the demands of Messrs.
Spooner & Miller, counsel for the receiv-
ers, Mr. Villard says:
You of course note that in my answers I did
not undertake to Show myself entitled to cred-
its in account. I undertook to show that I was
not liable to account, and that is the view I
entertain, and which, I am advised by counsel,
is sound. At the same time and merely ex
gratia I pointed out several errors in the ac-
counts stated by you. ‘ Entertaining these
views, it is quite inadmissible that I should
give you the detailed account you request. To
do so would be to account and thus admit my
liability to account, which of course I cannot
do. H. J. VILLARD.
Wheeler H. Pcckham, of Counsel.
The receivers submit the report of their
comptroller as to the moneys claimed and
ask the court for instructions for proceed-
ing to recover the amount. The claim is
for an accounting of the moneys which
Mr. Villard received as financial agent of
the Northern Pacific and Manitoba road.
COLORADO’S CATTLE WAR.
A Large Sheep Owner Asks For Protec-
tion From the Herders.
DENVER, May 29.—J. G. Edwards, the
owner of 40, 000 sheep in Routt county,
appealed to Governor McIntyre today for
protection for his property. which the cat-
tlemen threaten to slaughter, and the is-
sI‘Ie brings before the chief executive a
difficult task. Mr. Edwards says he has
tried to settle the controversy amicably.
He is an old resident of Colorado and a
heavy taxpayer and claims _the right to
drive his property wherever necessary. He
wants to drive his flocks through the low-
er part of Routt county until a shipping
point on the Rio Grande railroad can be
reached and has promised the cattlemen
that no damage shall be done to the range
or ranch property.
He has proposed to the objectors that
they shall select the trail the sheep shall
take. but they have demurred and have
called another meeting, to assemble at Me-
Coy’s, Garfield county, this week, to or-
ganize for resistance. Edwards asks the
governor to attend this meeting and argue
for moderation and recognition of the
rights of the sheep grower.
What stand Governor McIntyre will take
is a question which is causing some specu-
latim at the capital. It is regarded as a
foregoneconclusion that the local authori—
ties of the counties afi'ected will be unable
to stay the hands of the cattlemen when
they start to keep out the intruders, and
if military aid is not invoked Edwards will
have a cause for legal action for damages
against the state.
No Bimetallism For Unionists.
LONDON, May 29.——As an indication of
the impending dissolution of parliament
certain influential Unionists are circulat-
ing a memorial to the Right .Hon. A. J.
Balfour, who is slated for the premiership,
urging him not to include in the party
platform any pronouncement in favor of
bimetallism. It is added that the me-
morial says that under no circumstances
will they (the Unionists) support in par-
liament any proposal to alter the currency
standard on a bimetallic basis. . '

The Bloodthirsty Bin-lane Plundered a
Dutch Vessel and Killed Some of the
Officers—Full Story of the
Marauders‘ Crimes.
THE HAGUE, May 29.—-It is stated here
upon good authority that the government
ships to Marocco with instructions to de-
mand reparation for the looting of the
Dutch brigantine Anna and the murder
of her captain off the Riff coast of Morocco
in April last.
WASHINGTON, May 28.——As will be re-
membered, it was stated in a cable from
Gibraltar on April 30 last that the Dutch
brigantine Anna reached Gibraltar that
day and repdt-ted having been boarded by
Riff pirates, who murdered her captain,
Velvis, wounded her mate, Smith, and
ransacked the vessel. carrying off every-
thing portable.-
Additional details have since been re-
ceived at Washington from the United
States consul at Gibraltar, Mr. Richard
L. Sprague. According to Mr. Sprague’s
report. the Anna wastowed into Gibraltar
bay by the steam tug Hercules on the aft-
ernoon of April . 30, having been picked
up, flying signals of- distress, off Europa
point.
A Fatcful Voyage.
The Anna left Bari, on the Adriatic,
March 19. with a cargo of oil and was be-
calmcd on April 26 near Alhucemas bay,
on the Rid coast, between Melilla and
Ceuta. She was commanded by Captain
Velvis. had a mate named W. Smith and
had three seamen and a cook on board,
who completed her crew. During that
afternoon a boat, manned by seven or
eight Moors, approached the Anna from
the shore. The Moors were stripped to
the waist and were armed with rifles and
long knives. When within a short dis-
tance of the brigantine, the Moors called
upon Captain Velvis, in Spanish, to lower
his sails, and when he refused to do so
they opened fire upon the vessel. '
The crew of the Anna armed themselves
as best they could with hatchets and other
implements, and the mate, Smith, knocked
down one of the .Riflians who attempted
to board the brigantlne. 'The pirates an-
swered with a volley and the mate fell
wounded. Captain Velvis then opened fire
with a revolver upon the Moors. but he
wounded in the hand. The mate in the
meanwhile had gone aft and was again
fired upon. four bullets in all entering his
body. Captain Velvis was also again
wounded, this time in the stomach. from
which injury he died the next morning.
The ing attracted other boat loads of
Rifiians from the shore, and the pirates
eventually crowded on the brigantine and
began to plunder her.
Everything Portable Taken.
They JOWOred the ship’s boat, and into it
they placed the bedding, cooking utensils,
compasses, spare sails, side lights, a por-
tion of the cargo and all the provisions ex-
cept the salt meat. In fact, they took pos-
session of everything portable, even the
cabin door, and completed their work with
stealing the shoes off the feet of the crew
and taking the clothes of tho seamen off
their backs. When they had taken every-
thing that was possible to take, the pirates
went ashore, and edema as a breeze sprung
up the crew of the Anna headed her for
the coast of Spain. After sailing all that
night and the next day, burning signals
of distress at night, they reached Gibraltar
bay, as already stated, and the case wasim-
mediatcly taken in hand by the consul for
the Netherlands, with the result outlined
in the dispatch from The Hague. The
.Anna hailed from Old Pekela, Holland,
where the captain and the mate resided.
An Antibloomers Ordinance.
introduced in the city council to prevent
women from wearing bloomers or knicker-
bockers within the city limits. The ordi-
nance recites that "this craze has assumed
such proportions that it monaces the pub-
lic morals of this good city ;” that ‘ ‘it is Iin-
healthy, un-American and unladylike for
Women to appear in such costumes.”
