A REALIGNMENT or PARTIES
L-Bcstoratlon of Silver as Basic Money
Along With Gold the Work In
Hand—Free Colnagenm the
United States Mint.
Chicago, June 9..—H.o:n. Charles A.
Towne of Minnesota, in calling to order
the national provisional committee (.sib
'ver Republicans), said:
“I give you greeting upon the auspi-
cious opening of this conference and
congratulate you and the great cause
wherein we are engaged that so numer-
ous and representative .a body of *men has
,gathered from a large majority .of states
and territories to participate in the first ,
general council of the silver Republic-
an party of the United States. We are
1happy also to welcome the inspiring
presence of a delegation representing
.the- bimetallic organization of the wom-
.en of-the country, whose sympathies am
fenlisted as ever in behalf of justice and
humanity.“
.Free Coinage at. the Mint.
.After referring briefly to the circum-
stances attending and the motives in-
stigating the inception of the movement.
he spoke of the organization of the pro—
visional-national committee at the sug-
sgestionof the Republican senators and
.congressmen. Continuing, he said;
“Our motives are these:
above. all things else of immediate polit:
’ica'l concern the speedy re—establishment
iln'the United States of true bimetallism,
the same privilege of free coinage at
the mint for both goldand silver and
absolute equality between them in all
money-power, when coined, with the op—
tion to every payer, whether the gov-
ernment or an individual, to choose
what coin shall be the basis of payment
in every instance. We wish to do all
in our power to advance this happy con-
summation, and we realize that if this
great :cause is to succeed in the elec-
tions of 1898.and 1900 it can do so only
through theaddition to the allied armies
of 6,000,000 that followed the banner of
the joint standard in 1896 of at least
some hundreds of thousands of Repub—
licans of that contest.
Restoration of Silver.
“We have other plans, or‘may have,
and we believe in other things also, but
the restorationof silver as basic or pri-
mary money :along with gold is the
first and engrossing object of our ac-
tivities and shall remain so until the
crescent of promise .shall have rounded
into the full orb of success.
era] method of Aour‘procedure will be
that demanded by the depths of our
convictions and the dominant impor-
tance of the: issue that has moved us.
With us the cause is everything. Men
and parties sink' into relative inconse-
quence. All armies marching to invest
the citadel of the gold standard are
our allies, all their soldiers our com-
rades. We will loyally and tirelessly
co-operate with all other organized
forces of bimetallism that honestly
profess the faith and resolutely and
undeviatingly keep it. Harmony is of
yital concern to.the success of the
cause, and nothing but consideration
of its welfare shall-limit the burdens
we will gladly" bear or the Sacrifices we .
But '
"will eagerly make to advance it.
the sincerity we offer we shall also re-
quire. Our allegiance is to the cause
alone, and we should as readily aban-
don an ally who would imperil the
cause as we turned from the old Re-
publican party when it was false to its
duties.
Realignment of Parties.
“Our allies must recognize that the
present critical situation in American
politics signalizes the interaction of
forces preparing a realignment of par-
ties. Old things are being done away,
and all things are becoming new. Let
the dead past bury its dead. Regret
for the necessary sundering of accus-
tomed ties must be swallowed up in the
satisfaction of forming new ones that ‘
shall link us to the duties of the future
rather than to the memories of the
past.
“It would be useless to deny that so-
cial and industrial evolution is shaping
for political treatment other questions
that will successfully ripen‘for settle-
ment after the monetary reformation
shall have been accomplished, and that
the underlying principles on which their
wise settlement depends are such as
naturally to place their achievements in
the same hands. Many of these have
been long advocated by that great ad-
vance guard, the Populist party, and
some of the most urgent ones are more
and more commending themselves to
the reason and sympathies of men. Is
it too much to expect, or is it injudi—
cious in me to express the hope, that
silver Democrats, Populists and silver
Republicans may by 1900 be welded into
one strong and serviceable instrument
in the hands Of Providence for the po-
Iitical regeneration of the country and
the beginning of reform restoring the
spirit of the constitution and contribut-
ing to the advancement and happiness
“of mankind?”
In conclusion, he said the immediate
business in hand was the determination
of the time and place for holding a na-
tional convention, the membership of
which could make an authoritative dec—
laration of principles, and the discussion
and adoption of a plan of general or-
ganization in the states and territories
would (follow.
Chicago’s Boast.
Chicago, June 9.——Chlcago makes an

disease. The death rate among children

TO PLAY POKER BY CABLE.
Talk of an International Game Between
Congress and Parliament.
Washington, June 9. —“COngressmen
are discussing the suggestion made by
.a member of parliament at the close 01
:the international chess tournament that
an international tournament of'tdraw
poker 1be played ibetween members of
parliament and unembers of our house.
”Draw poker is regarded as distinctly
.an.Americ-an game, and the hardihood
of (the Britishers 'in proposing such a
I test of skill is considered little shont‘ot
veffrontery. ,
The general opinion among ;po‘ker
playing representatives is that a. game
for series of games by cable would be
unsatisfactory, if .not impracticable. A
veteran Kentucky congressman says:
“You can’t play a game with a fellow
runtlil :you have studied him :a bit.- You
want :to look into his face pretty close;
11y and see .how he ihandles his cards;
You want to see ‘how .he draws and:
what he. do with the cards that he:
draws. Yo want to discover how heI
bears up undel a losing game and;
whether or not he is rattled.”
.A ccanvass among- members showsI
that the supremacy of the Texas dele-
gation. .‘is generally conceded. Fore—5
most on the list, it is conceded, the
mame of Colonel De Graffenried would
appear. ‘The colonel ism. cool, imper-
turbabl‘re ‘player who never gets rattled,
and his countenance is a puzzle to his
antagonists. He plays boldly at times,
lbi‘lt never recklessly. ‘
Next to Colonel de Graffenried a place
would be assigned to his genial col-
league, Sam Cooper, a conservative
jplayer, wary, vigilant and skillful. Next
‘on the list pelhaps would come Joe
Bailey, leader of the house Democrats,
a player of rare judgment and caution,
who studies the game intensely. Bai-
ley’ s only weakness is a liability to get
no ous wt en he is losing. The smooth
shaven an imperturbable Rhea of Ken-
tucky would be a strong member of the
American team. There is not much dash
about Rhea, but he is cautious and safe.
Japan and Hawaii.
London, June 9.—The St. James Ga-
zette, commenting upon the dispute be-
tween Japan and Hawaii, which it de-
scribes as a “corrupt little republic run
by a handful of American fillbusters,”
says: “As Hawaii has no resisting
power, the question arises, Will the Unit-
ed States sce its protege through its
trouble? The Japanese may land an
armed party at any moment.
what will the Philadelphia do? Japan,
since she smashed the Chinese, is be-
lieved'to be spoiling for a fight with a
white power, and she may find America
ready to oblige her sooner than she ex—
pects."
bio-Delegates to a. Gold Convention.
Little Rock, June 9.-—G0vern0r Dan-
iel W. Jones of Arkansas has refused to
appoint delegates .to represent Arkang
sas at the international gold mining
convention in Denver next month. He
said: “I intend to ignore this conven-
tion altogether and shall decline to ap—
point delegates to it; There is no silver
- in it, and I am opposed to anything of
this kind that. seems .inimical to the in—
terests 0f bimetallism.”
Powers Send Men to Thessaly.
Constantinople, June 9.—The British,
Russian and Italian embassadors are
sending representatives to Thessaly
with instructions to report upon the
situation there. The third meeting be-
tween the Turkish minister forrforeign

sadors of the powers to arrange a per-
manent basis for peace between Turkey

Millions For German Workmen.
'Washington, June 9.—Statlstics rela-
tive to the growth in Germany of the
‘workingmen’s insurance system have
been received at the state department.
These societies insure against sickness,
accident and old age, and in the opinion
of Consul Stern have had a beneficial
influence. In ten years $296,015,824 have
been paid to 25,061,620 persons, and $250,-
000 per day is disbursed.
The Yacht Republic Saved.
Kingston, Jamaica, June 9.—The
