' THE EASTERN GOLD LEADERS They Will Have Nothing to Say Until After- ‘the Proposed Conference. \'Bl‘ltifill Newspaper Opinion of .- Democratic Nominations. NEW YORK, July 14.-—-The Evening Post prints the following today: , The Democratic gold standard leaders have not yet decided on the date and place of the conference at which, it is expected, a manifestowill be issued defining their attitude toward the national ticket nomiv noted at Chicago. William C. Whitney is still at his country home on Long Island and Senator Hill had not arrived in this city. Carlos French, the Connecticut mem- ber of the Democratic national committee, was at the Murray Hill hotel, but he said he was going home. He did not know just when the conference would be held. but he thought it would not take place for several days. Mr. French denied em— phatically the report that he had declared in favor of nominating a third national ticket. He said he had not committed himself one way or the other and would not until the gold standard men had con- ferred and decided on some course. one of the Tammany leaders said today that the conference would probably be held at Long Branch and that it would be. attended by Democratic leaders from New York and several other states. An- other Tammany man said the understand- ing was that the New York leaders would first confer and then invite the. gold men of other states to a general conference. From the talk of the Tammany leaders and the followers of Hill up the state. it appeared today that the organization Dem- ocrats are generally opposed to the nomi- nation of a third ticket. Some of the Tammany men talked of making a. cam- paign for the Bryan ticket; others said they would vote as they pleased, but none of them seemed to think that it would be wise to name a gold standard ticket. Hill and Whitney are believed to be opposed to a bolt, and the machine men, in their talk, appear to be reflecting the sentiments of these leaders. According to a statement made by a friend of Mr. Whitney, the conference of New York leaders is likely to result in a decision to ignore the national ticket as far as possible and call on sound money Democrats to help elect congressmen op- posed to free silver coinage and to join in an effort to carry New York for the Dem- ocratic state ticket. By refusing to bolt and put up a third ticket, it is said, the state organization can maintain its “regu- larity” and at the same time work effect- ively against Bryan and Sewall. The or- ganization men seem to fear that a bolt would result in the establishment of an- other state organization which would be recognized as regular by the Democratic national committee and make a deal of trouble for the present state leaders. John C. Sheehan, the leader of Tam- many Hall, has told his followers that Tammany will support the Democratic national ticket, but the district leaders understand that this support will consist merely in a refusal to declare for McKin- ley or for a third ticket. They under- stand, too, that nobody will be “disci- plined” for voting this year as he pleases. Candidate Sewall’s Plans. CHICAGO, July 14..—Mr. Sewall has not yet decided whether he will join Mr. Bryan in the speechmaking feature of the cam- paign. He says he can build better ships than speeches. He added: “Whether or not I shall take an active part in the campaign will be settled by the executive committee. As Senator . ‘“ ARTHUR SEWALL. Jones will take two or three days to select this committee, I am not able to say whether I shall be making speeches next month. “We may make a fight in Maine in the state campaign. The election will be held there in September, and that will give us an opportunity of testing Maine sentiment. Free silver sentiment is growing in Maine and now is very strong. We have a good fighting chance there. ‘ ‘I have no doubt that the national head- quarters will be located in Chicago. This is my opinion and does not come through any action of the committee or conference with it. The west will figure so largely in this campaign that it seems to many that the contest should be directed from this point. ” _ Mr. Sewall found out that to be a can- didate for vice president is not a position of rest and retirement. Callers overran his time and his room at the Palmer House whenever he w‘as there. . He found time to go into a room with Mr. Bryan and Senator Jones, chairman of the Democratic national committee, and have the door locked for a little Social visit. The three men talked over the prop- osition to launch the campaign at New York by having the candidates publicly notified there of their choice as the party nominee‘s. . Mr. Sewall, Erskine M. Phelps and a few other friends went to the Auditorium annex for dinner. Later in the afternoon the candidate for vice president had a few minutes to himself in his room t6 look at his pictures in the neWSpapers and read what others were reading about him. Today he held a few more conferences with various committees and tomorrow will start for his home. Mr. Bland's Desires. . LEBANON, Mo., July 14.-—In their dis- appointment over the defeat of Mr. Bland for the presidential nomination many Missouri free silver Democrats have turned to him to lead the party in Missouri this fi . fall as candidate for governor. He has re- ceived many telegrams and letters the past few days urging him to become a candi- date, but he will not change his course. He made up his mind several years ago that he did not want to be governor, pre- ferring to continue his fight in congress. He has again just stated that he would not be a candidate for governor. He said he was a candidate for the Democratic nomi- nation for congress in this his old dis— trict. He desires to go back to congress to make the fight for free silver in the house. Senator Palmer’s Plans; _ SPRINGFIELD, Ills., July 14.—-Senator John M. Palmer states that he is carrying on an extensive correspondence with the Democrats of the state to ascertain their views as to the proper course to pursue, and he does not care to predict what action will be talwn until an agreement has been reached. All that he cares to say at this time is that they will not accept or support either the platform or the can- didate of the Chicago convention. 2 The committee of three representing the gold Democrats of Illinois expects to have its public address in behalf of anoth- er convention ready in a day or two. Bryan Indorsed by Kansas Silverites. TOPEKA, July 14.—Conventions were held in 43 counties to choose delegates to the “nonpartisan” free silver convention, which will meet here to send delegates to the national convention at St. Louis. Democrat-s, Populists and Republicans participated in the meetings, and in every county the nomination of William .T. Bryan for president was indorsed and delegates instructed to vote at the Topeka conven- tion only for men who will support his nomination. Seven Populist county con- ventions Were also held, and all of these indorsed the action of the Chicago conven- tion. New Hampshire Democrats. NASHUA, N. 3., July 14.——Hon. C. A. Sulloway, representing the New Hamp- shire delegation, has telegraphed Chair- man Amoy of the state committee to call a convention to determine what position shall be assumed by the New Hampshire Democrats with reference to the silver question. , Henry W'atterson’s Views. LOUISVILLE, July 14.——The following was received today by Mr. W. D. Balco- man, president Courier-Journal company: GENEVA, Switzerland. Another ticket our only hope. No com- promise with dishonor. Stand firm. HENRY WATTERSON. English Newspaper Opinion. LONDON, July 14.—In an editorial on the political outlook in the United States The Times says, “Mr. Sewall seems to have been nominated for vice president in order to give an air of some respectability to the Democratic party.” Discussing further Mr. Bryan’s chances, The Times says, “It seems certain that he must be reckoned with, and he may go farther than his opponents profess to believe pos- sible.” The paper expresses the fear that the putting up of another Democratic can- didate would only prove the numerical weakness of the sound money Democrats. “Further,” The Times says, “it remains to be seen whether, should the election of representatives in November produce a prosilver house, Mr. McKinley would be firm enough to veto free coinage. Alto- gether the situation is vital for America.” The comment of The Chronicle upon politics in the United States is as follows: “Mr. Bryan’s character is as high as his intellect is keen, and to many western farmers he is a political idol, dearer, per- haps, than any man since Lincoln. Given the disastrous silver policy. it must be ad- mitted that Mr. Bryan is the most accept- able representative of it. M. Zola once predicted that a great class war would break out, not in Europe, but in a new country. Is this portentous event really beginning in the United States? We be- lieve that Mr. McKinley will win, but the outlook is most stormy. It is war to the knife between two theories of economics and finance. It is fortunate that both sides are championed by men of undoubted high character.” An editorial in The Morning Post (Con- servative) describes the Chicago conven- tion as a melancholy performance. “In- telligent Americans,” it thinks, ”are now thrown back on the Republican party, whose sins they regarded a decade ago as intolerable.” ' DETECTIVE SENTENOED TO DEATH. Murderer of Superintendent Watson to ‘ Pay the Penalty Sept. 17. JERSEY CITY, July 14.—Edward Clif- ford, the West Shore railroad detective who was convicted of the murder of Wil- liam G. Watson, superintendent of the West Shore road, in Weehawken, was ar- raigned today before Judge Lippincott for sentence. The court handed down a de- cision denying the application of the pris— oner’s counsel for a new trial. The application was based on the fact that the jury which convicted Clifiord of murder in the first degree recommended the prisoner to the mercy of the court. 'Judge Lippincott said that recommenda- tion could not have any effect in arresting the judgment of the court, and the judge had to refuse to consider it. - Clifford was then told to stand up, when in answer to the court he said that he had nothing to say why the sentence of death should not be passed upon him. Judge Lippincott then sentenced Cliflord to be hanged on Thursday, Sept. 17. Ex-Judge William T. Hoffman gave no- tice that he would carry the case to the chancery court on an application for a writ of error. ' . A Royal Garden Party. LONDON, July 14.-—-The Prince and Princess of Wales, in behalf of the queen, 'gave a garden party at Buckingham pal- ace this afternoon ln honor of Princess Maud of Wales, who is to be married to Prince Charles of Denmark on Wednesday. The royal party arrived at 4:30 p. m. The state rooms of the palace were thrown open to guests, of whom there Were about 5,000, including the usual number of rep- resentatives of the British aristocracy. Moreland Guilty of Embenlement. PITTSBURG, July 14.—Major W. C. Moreland, formerly city attorney, entered a plea of guilty today to the charge of embezzlement of $26,000 of city funds. His assistant, W. N. House, pleaded not guilty, and was placed on trial. The auditor’s report shows a discrepancy of $300,000 in the accounts of Messrs. Moreland and House. ' > The \Vharf Fire at Galveston. GALVESTON, July 14.—The' damage by the fire here is estimated at over $150,000. The property destroyed was a warehouse owned by the Morgan Steamship company, valued at $150,000 and insured for $50,- 000. and its contents. The fire, as 'well as the preceding wharf fire, is believed to be of incendiary origin. a ransom ursrrar. B. J. Pocock of St. Louis Thought to Have. Been Drugged by Women. WASHINGTON, July 14.—Henry J. P0- cock, for many years city register of St. Louis, died suddenly on a‘ train in Ohio between Athens and Parkersburg. His body was left at the latter city. He retired .apparently in good health. At about 11 o'clock H. C. Bell, deputy United States commissioner of pensions, was awakened by a shriek from an upper berth occupied by Pocock. who fell from his berth. in" the aisle, and soon after being removed t.» the smoking car died, although Mr. Bell and the conductor made every effort to re- suscitate him. The berth below that occupied by Pn cock contained two women who were d3 . covered in the act of ransacking the (in .';~t man’s clothing by the conductor. The ’ women claimed to be relatives of Pocock, but later admited that this was fake. They were turned over to the authorities of Parkersburg on the charge of petit lar- ceny, with the suspicion that they had drugged Mr. Pocock for the purpose of robbery. They had $513 which was sup- posed to have been taken from the dead man’s clothing. The elder of the two women said she was from Illinois and the younger from St. Louis. A FRENCH GENIUS GONE. Sudden Death of a Writer, Inventor and Supposed Nobleman. 'NEW YORK, July 14.—Pierre Gerard, '76 years old, was found dead in his fur- nished room at 44 Clinton place, today. Gerard took-his meals at the Fleischmann cafe and was last seen alive yesterday morning. When he did not appear today, the door of his room was broken open, and he was found dead on the floor. Gerard, it is believed, was a descendant of a noble French family. During the war between France and Prussia his es- tate became involved. In 1888 he came to this country and se- cured an engagement with. Fleischmann, the baker. He had a patent on sdme bread which was known as Japanese bread, and on this he received a royalty. He wrote several dramas, but none of them was ever staged. When Horace, Greeley was alive, Gerard was vice president of a company of which Greeley was president. This company took plays from playwrights and had them staged. Gerard also wrotea book entitled “How to Build a City.” He had patents on several inventions. A one wheel bicy- cle and a submarine boat were among them. NORTH ' POLE HUNTERS. Progress of the Andree Balloon Experi- ment—The Martin-Conway Party. LONDON, July 14.—Advices have been received from Tromso, Norway, that Ar- nold Pike’s steamer Victoria has arrived there after having visited the Swedish aeronaut, Andrea, at Dane’s island. The erection of a balloon house had been be- gun, and Andree expected to be ready to start on his aerial voyage toward the north pole early in July. Before starting, how- ever, it was his intention to test his bal- loon thoroughly by sending it up attached to ropes and by telephone to the steamer Vigo, which took him and his companions and their outfit to Spitzbergen. 0n the way back from Spitzbergen the steamer Victoria called at Advent bay on June 29, where it was learned that the members of the Martin-Conway and the party of the Swedish Geer-Knorring expe- dition Were well. At that time Advent bay was full of ice. Captain Aguirre Captured by Spaniards. HAVANA, July %.—-It is learned that George Aguirre, an insurgent captain, who is 'said to be an American citizen, is the “well dressed man” heretofore report- ed to have been captured in a boat by the gunboat Antonio Lopez, near Bacuraneo. Aguirre is now in solitary confinement at the navy yard. He says that he was on his way to surrender with his boatman, Guillermo, to Colonel Jose Delgado.
