OL'OB'E WAREHOUSE. . FACTS FIGHTING THEJOLD BUGS The Silver-Tongucd Orators Continue Their Memphis Campaign. SENATOR STEWART'S SPEECH Isham C. Harris Advocates Simon Pure Dcmocrncy and Objects to the Propo sition to Aboliyh Party Lines. The KcMriutlons. Memphis, Tenn., June 13. Notwith standing the cloud that for a moment threatened to darken Ujp horizon of the free silver convention of southern and western states In the shape of the bolt ing of prominent Democrats because of the advocacy of the abolition of party lines by flie or two of the speak ers, the end was harmony and there was no fight over the resolutions after they were read to the convention, for the reason that they carefully avoided any reference calculated to produce discord. At HU3 .the Kev. Dr. .Brooke of Memphis, opened the silver convention with prayer, after which the arrival of a delegate from Arizona, and one from Arkansas, was announced. Chairman Turple then announced that the com mittee on resolutions was not ready to report, and Introduced Senator Will iam M. Stewart, of 'Nevada, who ad dressed the convention. Senator Stewart's address Included the following: The object lessons of the Inst three years show that the people are face to face with concentrated cupltal, the enemy which de stroyed all previous civilizations. The modern Colossus, the Rothschilds combi nation, the KreutcHt brokerage establish ment the world has ever seen, furnishes money for Its customers by selling their bonds to the public for vastly more than the cost of the combination. The vnst bonded debt of the -United States and Eu rope has passed through their hands for nearly a century, and the Increment re tained by the Rothschilds alone, indepen dent of their numerous associates, Is es timated at two thousand millions. In im the vaults of the United States treasury were opened and more than $1U0, OOu.Ouo of gold was shipped to Austria with the aid of the administration, which re fused to exercise the option provided by congress to pay In cither gold or silver. Hy this means the great combination wrecked the finances of this country and created the panic of 1853. The success of tho gold combination In repealing the pur chasing clause of the Sherman act, and thereby ratifying and conlirmlng tho In famous act of 1873, demonetizing silver, placed the fortunes of 70,0(10,000 people at the mercy of the gold kings. The tempo rary lull In tho financial storm, which the country now enjoys, was bought. Presi dent Cleveland contracted with the Roths childs combination to cease their raids on the United States for eight months. Ho gave them tl2,0OO.0O0 In tho difference be tween the market price and what he re ceived for ItK.OOO.OUO of United States bonds, and agreed to allow the combination to purchase whatever bonds might be Issued before the meeting of another congress. . Gold of the World Cornered. What further proof is required than this contract to demonstrate that the gold of tho world is cornered? Four-fifths of tho Amcricnn people, yeu, nine-tenths, have been at henrt In favor of restoring silver ever since the crime of 1S73 was discovered, but tho gold combination has seized every avenue of communication. The press and the telegraph belong to It. Four thousand national banks are Its agents, and 6,000 other banks and trust companies do Its bidding. Merchants and boards of trade are dependent upon the banks for accom modations, and are clamorous In their praise of gold monopoly. The president of tho United States places 300,000 otHees at the service of the money powers for the political or other favors ho receives. Before such a force any other people would be powerless, but the American people for more than a hundred years have met and conquered every foe. Tho alarm and distress caused by the raid of the gold combination on the treas ury In WIS created a furor which amounted to a political cyclone, which was directed by the 11 rm hand of the executive against the two houses of congress. Many Dem ocrats fell before the blast, but the Re publicans sailed with the wind, and the Democrats who were stranded by the vio lence of the storm were swept back Into the arms of the Republicans of the two houses. Together they made a majority to do the bidding of the money powers and to wipe from the statute books every law which recognized silver as a money metal. Tho People Keody to Act. The people have at last taken this mat ter into their own handB. No man Is a blmetalllst who does not advocate bimet allism as It existed for thousands of years before Sherman visited England In 18117, and before he carried out the purposes of an Knglish syndicate to strike down sliver in 1S73. What nre party names without party principles? The Democratic masses aro In favor of restoring the money of the constitution. A very large percentage of tho Republican masses are equally true to tho principles of free government with the Democratic masses, but tho Republican leaders who worship at the shrine of monopoly are more numerous and power ful than the Democratic leaders who work with them to maintain the gold standard. There aro more Harrisons than C'levc lands, and moro Shermans than Carllslcs. The Democracy of Illinois has broken the lee. The people are uniting In every sec tion of the country to strike for liberty and recover their lost government. The Amorican people have been betrayed with a kiss for tho last time. The advocates of free coinage at the ratio of IB to 1 by tho United States alone comprise three-fourths of tho voters of tho United States. The only hope for gold monopoly Is to divirto and conquer. They have played that gamo for the last time. The hearts of the people are In a common cause, pr iduced by a common calamity. Tho policy of the enemy to Impoverish the masses Is now well understood. It Is well known that opportunities create In dependence and manhood; that want of opportunities creates poverty and cowards. One more gold president might do tho work and destroy the foundation of Re publican institutions, which Is Indepen dence and prosperity of the people. Tho gold standard, falling prlceB, and hard times are as much the policy of Sherman, Harrison and the great mass of the lead ing Republicans as It Is of Cleveland him self. The only dlfforonce Is that Cleve land proclaims openly what the hypocrites do secretly. Tho Resolutions. The resolutions advocate the free and unlimited coinage of gold and sliver at tho ratio of 18 to 1; declare that Inter national co-operation Is not necessary and attribute the recent hard times en tirely to tho demonetlatlon of silver. Although nothing was Bald In the reso lutions about abolition of party lines as proposed by Sibley, Stewart, and others, the speakers of the day, almost without exception, took care to assert their Democracy and to repudiate any affiliation with either Republicans or Populists. The resolutions follow: "Silver and gold coin have in all ages constituted the money of tho world, woro the money of the fathers of the republic, the money of history and of the constitu tion. "Tho universal experience of mankind has demonstrated that the Joint use of both gold and silver coin as money con stitutes tho most stable standard of value, and that tho full amount of both metals Is neci ssary as a medium of exchange. "To demonetization of either of these historic metals means an appreciation in the value of money, a fall In the prices of commodities, a diminution of profits of legitimate business; a continuing increase In the burden of debts; a withdrawal of money from tho channels of trade and In dustry where it no longer yields a safe and sure if tu in and its Idle accumulation in the banks und great money centers of the country. "There is no health or soundness In a financial system under whleh a hoarded dollar Is productive of Increase to its pos sessor while nn Invested dollar yields a constantly diminishing return, and under which fortunes are made by tho accretion of Idle capital, or destroyed by a persistent fall In the price of commodities and a per sistent dwindling In the margin of prolits In almost every branch of useful Industry. Such a system Is thut which the criminal legislation of 1S73 has Imposed upon this country. "That we favor tho Immediate restora tion of silver to Its former place as a full legal tender, standard money equal with gulil, and the free and unlimited colnuge of both silver and gold at the ratio of lfl to 1, and upon terms of exact equality. "That while we should welcomo tho co operations of other nations, we believe thut tho United States should not wait upon the pleasure of foreign governments or the consent of foreign creditors, but should themselves proceed to reverse the grinding process1 that Is destroying the prosperity of the people and should lead by thulr example the nations of tho earth. The centralization of wealth has gone hand In hand with the spread of poverty. The pauper and the plutocrat are twin children of the same vicious and unholy system. The situation Is full of menace to the liberties of tho people and the life of the republic. The Issue Is enfranchise ment or hopeless servitude." Harris Advocates Pure Democracy. The fight over the principles laid down by. Sibley In his speech lat night began early In the day, with Senator Isham C. Harris at the head of the faction advocating Simon-pure Dem ocracy. These men said that they would secede from the convention If It endorsed Sibley's radical sentiments. Sibley said In his speech last night that the .time had come to abolish the party in favor of tha principle and It was to this Idea Democrats took excep tion. They declared the Democratic party was strong enough In itself to champion the cause of silver and they did not propose to turn over the con vention to the Populists and Republi cans, although these latter were wel come to the ranks of free silver. The fight spread to the room where the committee on resolutions were holding Its deliberations, but fortunately It got no further. The platform as was ori ginally Intended (the call being strictly non-partisan) contains no mention of any party. The convention adjourned tonight after speeches by W. J. Bryan, A. J. Warner and Senator Walcott. PRESS CLIB BANQUET. Notional Delegates Are Royally Fntcr- taincd at Philadelphia by tho Cclobratcd Pen and Pencil Club. Philadelphia, June 13.

Cruiser Kalcigh Sails for Key West. OUR GOVERNMENT'S POSITION Strictly Neutral on tho Cuban Question. The Goorgo W. Chllds Has Dis appeared Knglish Apprchcn slvo for Jamaica. "Washington, June 13. Information reached Washington today that the steamer George W. Chllds which. It Is said, left Philadelphia a fortnight ago in the Interest of the Cuban rebels, touched at Jamaica yesterday and sailed last night for Santo Domingo. The vessel's movements are shrouded In considerable mystery. When she left Philadelphia she dropped down the river to Greenwich, where she Is un derstood to have taken on board a con signment of arms for the revolution ists. Some days later she put In an appearance at the Florida Keys. Here she Is said to .have received the fili bustering party under the command of four leaders iRoloff, Sanchez, Cas tillo and Garcia, as was stated In the United. Press dispatches on. Tuesday last. It was originally announced that this party numbered $2,000 all told, but It has since been shown that the entire outfit did not exceed fifty persons. Nothing further has been heard from the vessel since thesepeople were taken on board until the Information today that she had sailed from Jamaica last night. It Is believed that the steamer called the George W. Childs was not allowed to remain any length of time In Jamaican waters. The Knglish gov ernment has observed something more than even a strict neutrality between the Spaniards and the Cuban rebels, feeling that the success of the Cuban rebels might lead to a similar uprising In Jamaica. President's Proclamation. "The proclamation lBsued by the pres ident was the proper thing for him to do," said Senator Morgan this after noon. "It shows that we care for our own self-respect and also Indicates our friendliness for the Spanish govern ment. The Issuance of such proclama tion, however, does not change the status of the situation In the least. It but calls attention to the laws govern ing this subject, and those laws would have been In full force and effect with out It. If Spain had any ground for complaint against us or any of our people, this proclamation cannot be set up as an offset, but the Spanish govern ment has no claim against us and under the present condition of affairs I fall to see wherein this government has done anything that Is likely to em broil us with the government now en deavoring to suppress the Insurrection In Cuba. We are doing all we can to restrain our own people; all officials have been notified to strictly enforce the law, one of our cruisers Is patrol ling the southern coast and no aid Is being rendered the Insurrectionists through the Intervention of the United States or through Its failure to carry Into effect the laws of neutrality." New York, June 13. The United States cruiser Raleigh left this after noon bound for Key West, Fla., to take up patrol duty on the Florida arid Gulf coasts, In the endeavor to prevent Cuban filibustering expeditions. Quakers Are Skeptical. Philadelphia, June 13. The mari time and customs officials of this city give no credence to the report that the George W. Chllds Is on her way to Cuba loaded with arms and ammuni tion for the Insurgents at that place. It Is not considered likely that the tug boat would be chosen to carry weapons of war since Its capacity is limited In nearly all cases to sulliclent space for coal and several berths for the cap tain and crew. The George W. Childs cleared from Philadelphia on the afternoon of May 18, for Kingston, Jamaica. Her cap tain Is Jacob Swain, a resident of this city, and who was formerly in the em ploy of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad. The boat Is owned by Charles Richmond, of Brooklyn, N. Y. HETTY GOOD'S CRIMES. It Is Now Thought That Sbo Murdered Her Mother. Lancaster, Pa., June 13. The sensa tional confessions of Mrs. Hetty Good ithat she Jiad irfurdered her grand mother and her own child have caused no end of talk here. Another crime Is now supposed to have been committed at the Good home, near Bowmansvllle. Two years ago Mrs. Hetty Good's mother died under the most peculiar circumstances. The sickness of her mother was a mystery, and when neighbors called to see her, Mrs. Good would not allow It, saying the Invalid was not In condition to be seen. She died without any of her neighbors hav ing seen her and without medical at tendance. It Is recalled now that Hetty Good often complained that she was obliged to support her mother. Frequently she would grow angry over the mat ter, and since the mother's death the daughter has often talked very strange about her mother. WARBURTON-WANAMAKER. Daughter of ox-Postmsster Gcncrnl Weds a Philadelphia Publisher. Philadelphia, June 13. MIss Wana maker, daughter of Hon.

Not Satisfied with Mr. Cleveland's Arbl tratlon-Troublo Ahead with Germany. New York, June 13. The Mall and Express this evening prints a statement that Nicaragua has another indemnity case on hand, this time from Germany. Tho facts set forth in a long letter from a correspondent at Nlcaraguo, under date of May 2S, are to the effect that the present demand Is for damages enormous In nmount when compared with the $75,000 Just paid to Great Britain In the Hatch case. The writer claims to have unsuccessfully tried to send the news by cable. In the same letter the writers avers "that war between Nicaragua and Costa Rica Is a question of but a few months, perhaps weeks. Nicaragua has been aggrieved since Mr. Cleveland's arbitration on the boundary question, claiming that she was discriminated against, and that part of her territory was unjustly declared to belong to her neighbor. Although there has been no notification received, it Is tho belief of prominent officials here that England will make a second demand for a gross Insult offered her consul the night after the warships withdrew from the harbor of Corinto.

ANOTHER GOODMAN FAILS Sunday School Superintendent Moore Is in Trouble. UNDER ARREST FOR FORGERY School Teacher Mooro Camo Down from tbo Country and Taught tho Brokers of Wall Street a Few Points in Financo-In Troublo Now. New York, June 13. Albert S. Moore combined thesuperlntendency of a Sun day school In Harlem with the treos uryshlp of a silk company In Wall street and the study of Tolstoy in his private library with the study of specu lation on the slock exchange to such an extent and with Buch unfortunate re sults that he la now a prisoner In the Tombs on the charge of havini; swin dled several banks in this city out of an amount estimated to be almost $150, 000 by means of forgery. The names which he forged, accord ing to .the complaint, are those of In mani, frHvanni & Co., 11 Ccttom Ex change; Robert W. Inman, and George Menke, commission merchant of 14 Greene street. The banks which suffer, so far as known, are the National Union bank, National bank, the United States Na tional and tho Bank of America. Albert S. Moore Is a wtll appearing, neatly dressed, thoughtful I-joklng man of 35 years. He began his life's work as a schoolmaster In a small town up the state. He was noted as a deep-read student and a man of religious proclivi ties. When he came to Now York for a larger sphere of action some six years ago he did not have dllllculty in se curing a place with Inman, Swann & Co., the big brokerage firm, at the head of which Is John H. Inman. He pro gressed rapidly In the firm's favor, nnd showed so much ability that despite his lack of commercial training, he was made bookkeeper, where his position was one of trust. A Quiet Tip Received. All went well until last November, then, one day, John H. Inman was as tonished at getting a quiet tip that his bookkeeper was speculating outside. He investigated and found that it was true. He went direct to Moore, so he Bald this afternoon, gave him three months advance salary, and told him to put on his hat and never come back. "We don't allow our employes to speculate," Mr. Inman, emphatically, this afternoon. .Mr. Moore took his hat and his sal ary, but did not go far. Right along side of the Inmnn Swann offices Is tho office of the East River Silk company, which has a small factory near As toria. Robert W. Inman, a Junior member of the firm of Inman, Swann & Co., has an interest In it. Mr. Moore had so far husbanded his resources that at the time the Inman, Swann & Co. dis charged him he was treasurer of the East River Silk company, and owned $20,000 of .their capital stock of $50,000. So he simply turned Into another door when he went to the Cotton exchange In tho morning. There he remained and transacted business until today. Ho was in his office yesterday when an officer of the Union bank called upon Mr. Inman, nnd just on the other side of the par tition showed Mr. Inman: three notes with the name Inman,- Swann & Co., written across them. They were Is sued by tho East River Silk company. "These are forgeries," exclaimed Mr. Inman at once. "Who discounted them?'. "A. S.- Moore," replied the bank offi cer, "nnd there are others many, many others." Mooro Is Arrested. Consultations were held and It was decided to arrest Mooro this morning. It was felt that he would make no at tempt to escape and he did not. He came down to his ofilce as usual this morning. Detective Doyle met him, nnd took him to the Tombs police court. Lawyer Clinch appeared for him. Ho was remanded in $1,0,000 ball on a charge of forgery. John H. Inman said this afternoon; "I am sure that Mooro led no double life. Ho had no vlcesjt-cxcept aB it turns out, Jthat of forgery." . Mr. Inman was Inclined to criticize the banks' which handled Moore's pa per. "This thing," he said, "had been going on for a year, I understand, and the banks did not take the trouble to send down here to find out If the sig natures were genuine until yesterday. Its hard to tell how much bad paper Moore floated In that year. He never let any come to maturity and so evaded discovery." The loss will fall upon the banks which took he paper, nnd upon the East River Sllk company, which Is es timated to have'assets valued at about $GO,000. It Is said that Moore lost the greater part of his stealings speculating In cot ton. Moore lived with his wife and two children In comfortable, thought quiet, style. Late this afternoon the East River Silk company, of which Moore was treasurer, went Into the hands of re ceivers. This action of the company was expected, and is believed to be due to the forgeries.
