REPUBLICANS MEET
Annual Convention of the National
League Opens at Cleveland.
THE PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS.
ITorty-sIx Staten anti Territories Itopro*
tented— President Traejr (fives Ills
v Forecatton Wliat the ( ouven-
tion Will Probably Do.
Cleveland, 0., .June 20.—The eifrhth
national convention of the League of
Republican clubs convened in Music
liu.ll to-day with 2,000 delegates in the
auditorium and the galleries filled
with visitors. Addresses of welcome
were made by Mayor McKisson and
Prof. Wood man see, of the Ohio
League of Republican clubs. Presi-
dent W. W. Tracy, of Chicago, then de-
livered the annual address. In open-
ing he congratulated all present on
the overwhelming victory gained by
the party in the elections held last No-
vember, and declared that it was in
part due to the determination of the
people to stand up for the protection
of American industries and labor. Of
the money question, Mr. Tracy sai l:
“The people of this country want j
more money but only on one condition, 1
and that is that it be sound and cur-
rent the world over. This en i
tire question as to the future j
use of silver will probably be
settled by the great commercial |
nations of the world within a year, j
Germany and France are seeking hi- ;
metallism and England is fast turning
in that direction. What the people
should do is to bring pressure to bear
upon their representatives for the ap-
pointment of delegates to an interna-
tional conference with power to act,and
insist upon an agreement and obliga-
tion from the nations participating to
maintain the ratio as there adopted.”
The secretary announce 1 that there
were represented at the convention j
forty-six states and territories, the
largest number ever represented.
Among the delegates were u number
of ladies, four from Colorado, one from
New York, two from Washington and
three from Illinois. The latter repre-
sented the Woman's league clubs in
that state. Those from Colorado lost
no opportunity to do mission work in
favor of the free coinage of silver.
A meeting of the presidents of state
leagues was announced for 1) o'clock
to-morrow and a£ 1 o'clock the conven-
tion adjourned till 10 o’clock to-mor-
row, to give the committees time to
work.
The silver men had another confer-
ence to-day and decided to wait until
after the appointment of the commit-
tee on resolutions before taking any
action. If that committee is organized
against free coinage they will insist on
the consideration of their 10 to 1 reso-
lution in the convention. Their glit- i
tering silver badges are the most bril- 1
1 iniit paraphernalia in the hull or
about the hotels, and they are still
confident that the party must concede
to their demands to hold the western
states.
President Tracy has given out the
following over his signature: “In my
opinion this convention will, with re-
gard to the money question, follow
the lines laid out by the convention
in Denver last year. The declaration
at that time was clear, sharp and spe-
cific. It followed the line of the na-
tional platform of 181)2 and favored the
establishment of a bimetallic stand-
ard of money through an international
agreement looking to the enlarged use
of silver. The resolutions as adopted
at Denver proved highly satisfactory
to the advocates of silver at that time,
and 1 am satisfied that they will be
well pleased with the action of this
convention. 1 believe the great ma- j
joritv of the delegates in this conven-
tion will be positively opposed to
any resolution declaring in favor
of free silver. The delegates from
Illinois will oppose any such action, to
a man. The convention will in no way
anticipate the action of tin* regular na-
tional convention to be held next year
We have been most careful in the past
not to overstep our prerogatives, and
1 am satisfied that the present con-
vention will confine itself to outlin-
ing plans for carrying on the work
for which this organization was formed.
We have all wo can do if we perfect
our organization and put it in working
condition for the campaign of lSDrt. Of
course, national questions will be dis !
cussed, as is proper, but no action will i
be taken which will not be in accord
with the conservative policy of past
conventions of this organization.”

SetN W. Chase from the warclenship
ind confirming the title of J. 15. Lynch,
low Morrill’s appointee, to the office,
rhe opinion was written by Associate
lustice W. A. Johnston, Chief Justice
Martin and Associate Justice Alien
joncurring.
The concluding paragraph of the
opinion, which covers eleven typewrit-
ten pages of legal cap paper and ex-
hausts all laws bearing upon removal
if appointive officers, is as follows:
“The allegation that the testimony
was insufficient to sustain the finding
is without force. The evidence was
heard and considered by a tri-
bunal created for that purpose,
and the duty of determining its
Milliciencv belongs to that tribunal
and not to the court. Testimony was
offered to sustain- and refute the
charges, and the weight and sufficiency
of that testimony, as well as the fact
of whether cause was shown, were
concluded by the determination of the
committee and the decision of the gov-
ernor.”
This paragraph the lawyers are in-
clined to believe is so sweeping as to
carry with it the case of Senator Rog-
ers, who claims that the evidence
taken before the committee charged
with the investigation of his conduct
ns a regent of the state university was
not suflicient to justify its report and
the governor’s removal.
KANSAS CROPS.
The Ilitin* Have Given an Impetus to Vogo-

Topkka, Kan., June 20. —The
weather-crop bulletin of the Kansas
service for the week ended the l?th
says: In the eastern division the tine
rains of the past two weeks have given
a new impetus to the crops. Corn,
grass, potatoes and gardens are grow-
ing finely; oats and flax greatly im-
proved and fruit in fine condition.
Wheat harvest done in the south ami
has commenced in the north. Oats har-
vest is progressing south.
In the middle division this was the
first week this season that the south-
ern counties have had any show, and
though too late for wheat, it has vast-
ly improved the condition of all other
crops. In Burton some of the dead
wheat fields are turning green. Oats
have greatly improved, flax in fair
condition and pastures good. Corn is
in tine condition. The ground gener-
ally now is in better condition, with
more water in it than for two or three
years back.

Rumor4 of lllg I lmU und High Assays 111
Oklahoma Unreliable.
El Re.no, Ok., June 20.—The stories
of big gold finds and high assays in
Washita county, Ok., telegraphed from
Guthrie, are totally unreliable. Guth-
rie is 200 miles from the gold fields, no
assays have been made as yet and the
Washita river, on the other side of
which the gold fields are, is so high
that it is impossible to ford it and no
one from that country has arrived here
for many days, while hundreds of gold
seekers are held at Arapahoe waiting
for the river to subside.
It is reported that at least 3,500 men
are in the field, that the towns of
Arapahoe and Cloud Chief are deserted
and not a man has been found on his
claim. About 100 men have gone from
here, but they have been substantial
citizens and they have gone out to de-
termine once for all what truth there
is in the reports in regard to the rich-
ness of tho lields.
The stories that gold bearing sand
found on lioggy and Turkey creeks is
the wash from the Wichita mountains
is nonsense, because both these creeks
flow south, towards the mountains.
It is said that the biggest find is up a
ravine, away from Moggy crock.

Chicago, June 20.—Early this morn-
ing while Alva Ileidel, Hattie Rcidel
and Hattie Litz, were at work in a
laundry, one of them saw a white
draped figure before the window and
ran shrieking for help. After a short
j time the figure again suddenly ap-
peared and with an unearthly groan
glided into the darkness. The three
girls swooned and when found half an
hour later were still unconscious.
Physicians say that Alva Ileidel will
probably die. There is no clew to the
man who perpetrated the ghostly trick.
Gra**hnpper* In Hordes.
McCook, Neb., June 20.— Grasshop-
pers have appeared in such quantities
between Eckley and Otis, a distance of
25 miles, as to cover the Burlington
railroad track and cause much trouble.
The engines have been provided with
steel brushes with which to clear the
track. At Yuma, Col., they have in-
vaded the grain fields, doing much
damage. They seem to be working
their way southeast.

making money rapidly as a money
lender.

Complete Returns Show That the Silver
Democrat* Have llccn llcaten.
Frankfort, Ky., June 20.—Complete
returns from the democratic county
conventions held Monday to elect dele-
gates to the state convention next
Tuesday show that the sound money
men are in strong majority and the
convention will undoubtedly declare
against the independent free coinage
of silver by the United States. Senator
Blackburn, ex-Gov. Proctor Knott and
John S. llhea, silver leaders, are dele-
gates, and on the other side are ex-
Gov. McCreary, Blackburn’s leading
| opponent for the senate, and ex-Con-
! gressman I5oyd, and a hot contest is
! expected. Latest returns give Hardin
295 instructed votes to 212 for Clay, five
for Buckner and two for Alford, but
there is a strong undercurrent for
Buckner. In the famous Owensboro
district, which Blackburn confidently
claimed, the sound money men have a
I majority of three.

on her life. Since the death of her
| husband, some months ago, the woman :
has encountered great difficulty in her
efforts to provide for herself and chil-
dren. A few days ago she took out a
$300 policy on her life. She told a
friend that it would be much better
for the children were she to die. for
then they could purchase enough bread
to appease their hunger. She swal-
lowed arsenic.

KANSAS SILVER MEN.
A Conference Held at lopcku The Re*olu-
t Inn* Adopted.
Topkka. Kan., June 20.—The free
silver conference, under the auspices
of the Kansas Bimetallic league, was
called to order at 2 o’clock yesterday
afternoon at Representative hall by A.
j C. Shinn, of Ottawa, vice president for
j Kansas of the National league. Mr.
Shinn introduced F. B. Johnson, presi-
dent of the Topeka Bimetallic league,
who delivered an address of welcome.
D. C. Tillotson, of Topeka, was elected
chairman of the conference. \V. L.
Brown, of Kingman, was chosen secre-
tary.
On motion the chairman appointed
i ex-Congressman W. A. Harris, of Lin-
wood; T. L. James, of Topeka; II. S.
Landis, of Barber county; Dr. Bohrer,
of Rico county, and Charles K. Holli-
day, of Topeka, to be a committee on
resolutions. While the committee was
getting ready to report several gentle-
men addressed the conference.
The evening session was largely at-
tended. About 1,000 people were
present. It was a non-partisan audi-
ence, but a large banner on which was
painted the financial plank of the
Omaha platform was suspended above
the speakers' table.
Ex-Congressman Sibley, of Pennsyl-
vania, the chief attraction, was intro-
duced. He spoke entertainingly for
I an hour and a half, and was frequent-
i ly interrupted by applause. It was
very much the same speech in advocacy
of free silver that he has been deliver-
ing during his campaign. He con-
cluded by urging the silver people to
get together. They should array
themselves against the monometallists
without delay, for the contest of 1890
would be between the two classes, re-
gardless of past party lines. “Grover
Cleveland and .John Sherman,” he said,
“would vote the same ticket in 1890,
and those who are opposed to their
financial policy must organize and vote
the other way in self defense.”
At the conclusion of Mr. Sibley’s re-
marks the committee on resolutions
made a report, which was adopted.
Omitting the preamble the resolu-
tions were as follows:
Resolved. That we declare ourselves to he
unalterably opposed to the single gold stand-
ard, and demand the Immediate return to the
constitutional standard of gold and silver by
the restoration by this government, independ-
ently of any foreign power, of the unrestricted
coinage of both gold and silver into standard
money ut the ratio of 16 to Land upon terms
of exact equality: the silver coin to be a full
legal tender equally with gold for all debts ami
dues, public and private.
Resolved. That we hold that the power to
control and regulate a paper currency Is in-
separable from the power to coin money, and
hence that all currency intended to circulate
as money should be Issued, and its volume con-
trolled. by the general government only, anti
should be legal tender.
Resolved. That we are unalterably opposed
to the issue by the United Statos of Interest-
bearing bonds in the time of peace, and demand
the payment of nil coin obligations of the
United States, as urovided by existing laws, in
either gold or silver, at the option of the gov-
ernment, and not at the option of the creditor
A permanent organization was adopt-
ed to be known as "the Kansas Branch
of the Bimetallic League of America,”
j the officers being U. W. Sparr, of Law-
rence, president; L. B. Johnson, of To-
peka, secretary, and Charles K. Holli-
day, of Topeka, treasurer.

A JUBILEE.
The Celebration of the Opening of She
Baltic Canal Begun.
DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK.
Great Precautbum Taken to Guard Against
Any Attack* from tho Anarchists,
Detective* from Many Nations
Being on Duty.
Hamburg, June 20.—In the presence
of the greatest aggregation of war-
ships ever gathered together at one
time, the celebration of the opening of
j the great Baltic canal, linking the
North and East seas, began to-day.
when the emperor of Germany and all
the representatives of the nations as-
sembled here, and a great state dinner
and a concert on an island in the Al-
ster basin were followed by a tour of
Hamburg harbor and the departure of
the kaiser for Kiel on his yacht.
Germany has about fifty largo and
small vessels of her imperial navy at
the opening exercises, while the other
nations are represented as follows:
Great Britain by ten vessels with a
total displacement of 78,000 tons, 171
officers and 4,3S0 men; Italy by nine ves-
sels with a displacement of 38,317 tons,
180 officers and 3,309 men; the United
States by four vessels with a total
displacement of 21,471 tons, 75 officers
and 1,497 men; France by three vessels
with 18,800 tons displacement, 00 offi-
cers and 1,300 men; Russia by three ves-
sels with 20,872 tons. 70 officers and
1,300 men; Austria-Hungary by four
vessels with a total uispl ucemenJi of
13,894 tons, 52 officers nnd 1,212 men;
Scandinavia,five vessels with 55 officers,
075 men and 8,594 tons; Spain by three
vessels with 50 officers, 1,232 men and
17,800 tons; Denmark by six vessels
with 32 officers, 1,370 men and 2,900
tons displacement; Holland with two
vessels with 25 officers, 413 men and
4,575 tons; Roumania by two vessels
with 23 officers, 400 men und 050 tons;
Turkey by one cruiser corvette with
15 officers, 300 men and 1,900 tons—in
all fifty-two foreign vessels with 814
officers and 17,403 men.
The greatest possible precautions
have been taken to guard against any
possible attacks by anarchists. Over
1,000 military men and numbers of the
royal police force are on duty besides
thousands of soldiers and large forces
of detectives from Russia, France und
other nations.
The lighthouse and the block of ma-
sonry in which the emperor is to place
the finishing stone are surrounded by
enormous scaffoldings, rising am phi-
theatrically in a semi-circle, and af-
fording seating room for about 15,000.
From these seats the whole space
where the banquet is to take place and
the bay where the international naval
demonstration is to come off can be
overlooked at ease.
The grand banquet, at which 1.000
guests will participate, including the
diplomatic representatives of the
various nations, will be given in a
structure of original design, the latter
being based on an idea of the emperor
himself.
The great canal intersects the penin-
sula of Schleswig-Holstein from Bruns-
buttel, near the mouth of the Elbe
river, to Ilottcnau, on the Kiel bay
and opposite that city, a distance
of about 59 miles. Both entrances
have been provided with dock gates
for the passage of vessels. At the
Kiel end the gates will be generally
open. At the Brunsbuttel end they \till
be opened in normal weather during
flood tide for three or four hours each
day. Each of the gates is 27>tf
yards wide and the space inclosed by in-
walls is 104 yards in length. The low-
est possible depth of water at Bruns-
buttel is almost 5 fathoms und at
lloltenau a trifle more. The dock
gates or sluices are operated by by*
! draulic power.
The whole canal is lighted by elec-
tricity, said to be the longest distance
in the world illumined continuously
that way. The two sluices at the
terminals are lighted up by both arc
and incandescent lamps of diverse
power, ami entrance to the harbor and
sluices are marked by lamps of differ-
ent colors. At those points where
the canal runs through small lakes
i und ponds, of which quite a
I number lie along the route, the
buoys are lighted by gas. Steam
tugs are stationed at each main gate
to assist the passage of vessels, and in-
side the gates are harbors for the ae-
, eommodation of vessels which have to
| wait for passage. At the lowest possi-
| ble water the canal has a depth of 4 l .
I fathoms, but \\ fathoms is the desired
J depth throughout. The breadth at the
bottom of the canal is 24 1*10yards.
The purpose of t he Baltic canal is a
two-fold one, commercial and naval,
i As for the commercial advantage,
j they result plainly enough since the
shortening of a voyage hitherto made
I around the Skager rock iscousiderabl j.
From Newcastle, Hull and London,
the saving in nautical miles is 107, 181
and 239 respectively: from Dunkirk
| and other points along the French, Bel-
gium and Dutch coasts, from 250 to
250 miles, and from Emden. Bremen
and Hamburg, 283. 328 and 425 miles re-
spectively. A similar saving of distance
and time is effected for Baltic ports of
Prussia, Mecklenburg an.1 Russia. The
military advantages accruing lie in
the fact that henceforth in time of war
the German navy cannot be rent oi
kept apart and provisioning of either
the Baltic or North sea cannot be in-
terrupted or rendered impossible. The
construction of the canal was begun
eight years ago and its total cost has
been $38,500,000.
