SILVERITES AT WORK. Congressmen Working Up a Plan to Unite the Silver Forces AGAINST THE SINGLE STANDARD, They May Issue an Address to Democrats Warning Them Againgt the Election of Gold Men as Delegates to the Next Na- tional Convention of the Party, WasHINGTON, Feb. 87. —~Routine matters on the floor of the house are overshadowed in interest by the initiation of a brisk movement to secure a majority of the Democratic membership in favor of a financial policy having the free coinage of silver for its keynote. For some time there has been a discussion carried om by the free silver leaders of the party over the practicabllity of a plan to unite their forces and to crystallize thelr ideas into some sort of a platform or declaration. The net result of these deliberations has been the draft of a declaration ad- dressed “To the Democrats of the United States,” and outlining a financial policy for the Democratic party. This paper has been circulated on the Democratic side of the house, and is belng vigorously dis- cussed, with the object of obtaining the consensus of opinion of silver Democrats upon its expressions. The chief instigators of the movement are Messrs. Bland of Missouri, Bryan of Nebraska, Sibley of Pennsylvania and Coffeen of Wyoming. Their paper is at present but a tentative expression, they say, and not yet In form for publication, since none of its detalls has been defin- itely agreed upon. In substance it states the financial policy of the party to be for the free coinage of gold and silver on terms of equality, at the ratio of 18 to 1, for the issue of all paper money by the government without the intervention of banks, and opposition to any issue of in- terest bearing bonds without the author ity of a special act of congress. Attention Is called to a movement sald to be under way through the efforts of the opponents of free silver in the party to se- cure the election of gold men as delegates to party conventions, and particularly to the next national convantion for the nom- ination of a single gold standard man for the presidency. Democrats are urged to oppose the movement and to see to it that none but free sil ver men are elected to po sitions of Influence in the party and to represent them in all conventions declares for free silver. Mr. Bryan also made an Incomplete can vass of the sliver Democrats in the senate. He did not present any prepared declara tion, such as he thought it would be wise to make, but merely submitted to them the question of the advisability of such a movement. It is understood that while many of the Democratic senators expressed Interest in the question, and stated that it struck them favorably upon first thought, they should prefer to have time to think is over in all its bearings before finally com- mitting themselves to the project Buried by a Snowslide. GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo, Feb. 27 After being blockaded by snowslides for thirty-six hours, the first train from Den- ver over the Denver and Rio Grande road arrived here last evening. Slide after slide came rolling down the mountains, and fifty wore counted between Shoshone and this town. Near Spruce Creek a large slide struck four of the section men, two of whom were hurled into the Grande river and were rescued. The other two, T. J. Flynn, foreman of the gang, and Henry Flannigan, were buried in the snow. Flynn was shoveled out alive, after being buried an hour and twenty minutes, while Flannigan was found dead Libeler Andrews Released.

THE REASON ASSIGNED A PRETENSE The Charge That American Cattle Are Unhealthy Has No Foundation in Fact and Our Ambassador Will Call for Proot of the Facts Alleged. WasHINGTON, Feb, 26. Mr, Eustis, our ambassador to France, will be instructed to enter a prompt and protest | against the French decree, just made, ex cluding American cattle from France. As the decree 1s ostensibly based on the exist ence of pleuro-pneumonia and Toxas | fever in cattle coming from the United | States the ambassador will call for proof | of the fact. That will mean long and ted! ous expert examinations by veterinarians, and much correspondence, which is not expected to be of any more avall than that | into which Mr. Runyon, our ambassador | to Germany, was plunged by the lssue of a similar decree by the German govern ment, for it is fully realized here that the allegation that American cattle are un- healthy is the merest pretense in both cases, and that the real reason is tear of American competition. In the case of France the press cable dis patches have shown that the ministry has been urged to the issue of the decree b) delegation after delegation representing the numerous and well organized agricul tural socleties of the republic, solely for thelr protection against the American cattle grower. In order to grant the de mand, and yet at the same time to avold the charge that France was violating the most favored nation clause in its treaty with the United States, which would properly lle if the latter were singled out from other nations for an attack of this kind, It was necessary that recourse should be had to the device, which had avalled Germany so well, of charging unhealth- fulness upon American cattle. This charge is always hard to rebut, owing to the ease with which expert testimony may be had on either side of the case. The American trade In cattle with France has grown to considerable propor tions, she shipments during the six vigorous months ended Deo. 31 last being 13 441 head, and during the month of January last 501 head. Secretary Morton was careful about ex decree, but {t could be seen that he re tion, and felt that it would not be contin. ued in foroe for any considerable length of time, and that the next change in the French cabinet would probably be followed by the revocation of the decree. Notwith standing this, the bellef is growing and deepening here that these decrees are but foregunners of other and more severe re strictions upon American trade, the next blow, perhaps, being likely to fall upon wheat. It is understood here that these are not adopted as retaliatory measures, Europe, and grow out of the necessity the governments are under of conceding some thing to the great agricultural classes Touching the allegation of the existence of disease among American cattle Secre tary Morton says that there has not been one ease of pleuro-pneumoniain thes United that even if there had been cattle suffer ing from Texas fever among the carefully inspected herds shipped t ¥ the dis case, being non-contagious, do neo JArope could | man Drayton rece | yesterday by of harm there An Exploding Cylinder Kills Two.
