fashioned muster and Fourth of July
celebration and it Is expected that 100,

nite answer until Tuesday next.

ment of the Cleveland people who are

WOMAN.
Among the callers at the McKinley
residence today was Mrs. Robert P.
Fuller, of Cheyenne. She told Major
McKinley that she would vote for him
and that he would receive the ballot of
every woman in Wyoming. "The
women of the country like your quality
of manhood," said Mrs. Fuller. It ap
peals to us all. We believe in you and
you may be sure that the influence of
the women of the United States wll be
exprttd in your behalf."
Other callers were Charles A. Moore,

CARE OF THE FORESTS.
Government Commission to Work This
Summer Experts Will Make an
Extended Tour.
Washington, June 23. The govern
ment forestry commission, organized to
make an Investigation of various for
estry problems and outline an adminis
trative policy on the subject will de
vote the summer to its work. The com
mission consists of Professor Charles
Sargent, of Harvard college; Professor
William H. Brewer, of Yale college: Dr.
Wolcott Glbbs, Newport, R. I., presi
dent of the National Academy of
Sciences; Professor Alexander Agassiz,
of Cambridge, Mass.; Glfford Plnchot,
New York; Arnold Hague, of the Geo
logical survey, Washington, and Gen

army (retired). All except Dr. Glbbs
and Professor Agassis, who may Join

fessor Plnchot. who has been engaged
In the work ill Montana for a fortnight
or so, will meet In Chicago early next
month and Immediately proceed to
gether to the field.
The Investigation will begin In Mon

through Idaho, Oregon, Washington,
California, Arizona. New Mexico and
Colorado. Professor Hague will con

and the detailed plan of the expedition
of the Bclentlflo body will be formulated
nt Chicago. Several preliminary meet
ings have been held here and In New

the Itinerary were reached. The com
misison will return late In the autumn,
and as soon as possible submit its re

one, dealing with the Intricate and Im
portant questions at much length.
HOLT WILL CASE.
Jury Returns a Verdict in Favor of
the Caveators.
Washington, June 25. The Holt case,
which has been on trial In this city for
several weeks, was closed at a late hour
this afternoon, and at 8.30 p. m. the
Jury returned a verdict In favor of the
ceveators, the effect of which is to set
the alleged will aside or In the words
of the decision of the Jury, It Is substan
tially a declaration that the paper pre
sented for probate Is not a true testa
ment. The case has been one of the
most Interesting of Its character that
has engaged the attention of the courts
here for a very long period. The appli
cation for probate has been earnestly
urged and as stubbornly resisted as any
similar case ever presented In the
courts of this district, and able counsel
on both sides have fought bitterly in the
Interests of their respective clients.
The verdict has been looked for with
more than usual Interest In this com
munity. The result leaves the case ex
actly where It was before a sudden
anonymous presentation of the alleged
tefttment reached the office of the re
later of wills several months ago; and
the heirs of law, who have had a des
perate legal fight on their hands, are
tonight receiving the congratulations of
their friends.
COMMODORE'S RACE.
Filibnstcring Steumer Is Fired Upon
by a Revenue Cutter.
Tampa, Fla,, June 25. When the
steamer Commodore left port Tampa
this afternoon she was followed by
the revenue cutter Mo Lane, the latter
having orders to stop the suspected
fllibusterer. When Captain Morton, of
the Commodore saw the McLane In
pursuit he crowded on steam and a
lively race began. As the Commodore
gained, the McLane sent four solid
shots afte rthe fllibusterer and the lat
ter came to. The McLane commander
searched the Commodore, but nothing
contraband was found. The Commo
dore was allowed to go and the McLane
started back to port. Six miles down
the bay, however, the Commodore
came to and was approached by three
schooners Nearly 100 men and scores
of boxes of arms and ammunition were
transferred from the schooners to the
Commodore.
The McLane's commander saw this
transfer by means of his glasses, and
again pursed the Commodore. The Mc
Lane gained at first and fired on the
Commodore repeatedly, but the shots
fell short. The powerful engines of the
Commodore soon told, however, and she
began to forge ahead. When the boats
passed St. Petersburg, the Commodore
was leading the McLane six miles. As
the McLane has no const pilot, she will
have to lay to during the night and this
will enable the Commodore to make
good her escape.
OLNEY'S MOVEMENTS.
It Is That He Has Been Conferring with
Senor Dupuy De Lome During
His Mysterious Absence.
Washington, June 25. Secretary Ol
ney returned to Washington last night
after his mysterious absence for several
days. If he has been conferring with
Senor Dupuy De Lome, the Spanish
minister In Boston, nobody at the state
department will admit it. This morn
ing Mr. Olney received a number of for
eign ministers, Thursday being their
regular reception day. Sir, Julian
Paunceforte was one of his callers, and
It Is understood that he presented a re
quest to the government that .Mr. Oi
ney would use his good offices to' bring
about a friendly settlement of the trou
ble over the arrest of Harrison, the
British surveyor, by Venezuelan police.
Senor Anxlrade, the Venezuelan minis
ter, was another caller and presumably
came on the same business that
brought Sir Julian.
Secretary Olney said this morning
that he was not aware of any decision
of the British government to make pub
lic the correspondence between her ma
jesty's ministers and the state depart
ment relating to an agreement of arbi
tration synchronous with Its publication
In the United States.

NATIONAL SILVER
PARTY FORMED
Senator Teller Is Indorsed as Candi
date for President
WILL COMBINE WITH ANY PARTY
Delegates Are Elected to the St.
Louis Convention on Jnly 2U--Ad-dresses
Arc Delivered by Well
Known Silver Advocates.
Denver. Col., June 25. Five hundred
delegates of all political parties from
two-thirds of the counties organized to
day the first state convention of the
national silver party, adopted a plat
form and elected delegates to the na
tional convention which meets In St.
Louts July 22. The convention was
harmonious and enthusiastic. The
platform Is strong for silver and
declares allegiance to any other
national party and candidate for
the presidency that accords with this
.view on the financial question. Sen
ator Henry M. Teller Is endorsed for
the presidency.
Hon. I. N. Stevens, acting state chair
man, called the convention to order. He
reviewed the history of the movement
creating this new pnrty, and stated that
Its purpose Is solely to unite the people
of the country upon one common candi
date for the presidency, who will favor
the restoration of silver to full legal
tender money power. Senator Tabor
was seleoted as temporary chairman
and David Day, of Durango, secre
tary. After the committee on creden
tials had reported a permanent organ
ization was affected by the selection of
Hon. Piatt Wicks, of Pueblo, perman
ent chairman, and Mrs. Sue M. Hall,
secretary. While waiting the report of
the committee on resolution, Hon. Lafe
Pence, Hon. J. B. Belford and Judge D.
V. Burns, delivered sensational ad
dresses, the burden of which were at
tacks upon the money pewer and urging
a campnign to unite the people under
one candidate against the goldltcs and
their demands.
When the committee on resolutions
reported a long address In the form of
an argument of free coinage, which also
severely attacked the opponents to this
idea, a storm of protests to the lan
guage and style of the platform ensued
and after a long discussion the cf ti-
mlttee was ordered to prepare another
platform. A recess was then taken un
til evening. The delegates named In
clude many prominent men of the state
and of all political parties.
TILLMAN'S HOT STUFF.
South Carolina's Senator Pays His Re
spects to the Newspapers.
America for Americans.
New York, June 25. The silver mass
meeting at Cooper Union tonight filled
the large auditorium and all the avail
ab"le standing room was occupied. The
audience was enthusiastic and applaud
ed loudly every time an opportunity of
fered itself.
Senator Benjamin F. Tillman, of
South Carolina, was the principal
speaker of the evnlng.
It took Several minutes for the vast
crowd to get through cheering when
Senator Tillman was Introduced.
Senator Tillman began by paying his
respects to the newspapers. He said
that tonight would give an opportunity
to show the members of the audience
that the newspapers were unconscion
able liars. The owners of the news
papers, he Bald, were prostitutes of
Journalism and not a paper In New York
would dare print his speech in full. The
speaker said that although he had been
much talked about and lied about, he
had written his name on a page of South
Carolina history In such a way that it
would remain there always. .
Coming to the money question the
senator said:
"If the Chicago convention does not
give us Democracy and return to tho
faith of Washington and Jefferson I
will have nothing to do with it after
wards.
"The money question Is up and got
to be settled. It Is as Important as was
the slavery question, and if enough of
you can get together to reverse the
verdict of the two millionaire conven
tions you will deserve the thanks of the
whole country."
Senator Tillman referred to the won
led men of the east as thimble riggers,
and repeated his assertion that Cleve
land was a tool of Wall street. The
senator called on all those who had
handled gold within a year to hold up
their hands. Half a dozen hands were
raised. Then he called on those who
had not handled gold coin to raise their
hands. Possibly a thousand.
"Then where has the gold gone,"
asked Senator Tillman, "you have not
handled It, although 450 of the 500 mil
Hon dollars In government bonds were
sold on Manhattan Island."
"Then senator said that If he were
on the senate committee Investigating
the recent bond sale, he would ask
President Cleveland why he made the
private contract to sell bonds at 104',i
per cent, when they were selling on the
public market at 117.
The senator then talked about unem
ployed labor, which he said was a lever
by which those employed were ground
down to low wages. "You see on your
own street car lines," he continued
"cars labelled 'U, 8. Mall.' Those cars
don't carry any mall.' They are on
there so the car lines can claim the pro
tection of United States troops In case
of a strike."
Senator Tillman characterized John
Sherman, of Ohio, as the high priest of
Amnion and tho Joint owner with Hanna
of William McKinley.
"All of you who are going to vote for
gold hold up your hands," concluded the
senator. Five hands were held up.
"All who are going to vote for silver
regardless of party, hold up your
hands.
. Over half of the audience raised their
hands.
The speaker said, as he sat down
"America for Americans, and to hell
with England and all other countries.'
Clarence Ladd-Davls read free sll
ver resolutions, which were adopted by
1 "celsmstlon. The resolutions dernd
that they be incorporated In the plat
form of the national Democracy.
IN DANGER OF LYNCH1NQ.
An Angry Mob W ishes to Finish the
Murderers of Sheriff Rodger.
St. Paul. Minn., Juno 25. Infuriated
citizens of southern Minnesota are try
ing tonight to lynoh the murderers of
Sheriff ltodgers. of McLeod county. A
posse of 250 men chased the desperadoes
all day and caught them in a swamp five
miles west of Arlington early this even
ing without firing a shot As soon as It
was leroned that they had been cap
tured, mobs bent on lynching began to
move from CJlencoe, New Auburn, Green
Isle and Hutchinson. The governor was
Informed that the officers at Arlington
could not cope with the mob. While the
mobs were moving on Arlington, the
prisoners were rushed down back
streets to a passing train and taken to
Olencoe. This saved the prisoners for
a time at least, but the governor was
wired that the deputy sheriff in charge
at Glencoe, could not prevent a lynching.
All the militia companies In that part
of the city were taking their regular
summer outing and were unavailable.
He therefore ordered out Company C,
First regiment, stationed In St. Paul,
and that company left St. Paul for
Glencoe at 10.40. It will arrive there at
1 o'clock, but the news from Glencoe at
this hour indicates that there will be a
lynching before that time.
READY FOR THE RACE.
Boatmen at Poughkeepsie Are Praying
for a Clear Day Opinions as to
Strength of Various Crews.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 25. Low
ering skies, a chilly atmosphere and an
occasional drizzle of rain made the day
before the great Varsity race a dismal
one.
No excursion steamer, yacht, or boat
of any description except the referee's
boat and the two police boats, are to
be permitted to follow the racing crew.
This provision will assure the oarsmen
of a clear course, and freedom from
wash.
Four lines marked by stake boats are
laid out. The positions drawn by lot,
and numbering from the west bank
are 1, Harvard; 2, Pennsylvania;' 3,
Cornell; 4, Columbia.
Should the day prove stormy or the
water too rough the race will be post
poned until Saturday. Tonight all
hands are praying for fair weather and
smooth water.
The crews got In their final polish to
day, and all are tuned up to the pitch
for tomorrow's great struggle. A visit
to the various quarters elicited the fact
that the thlrty-slx representatives of
the brawn and sinew of Harvard, Penn
sylvania, Columbia and Cornell were
ready to row the race of their lives for
the honor of their alma maters. There
seemed to be an Individual feeling
among the men that not only would the
race be the greatest ever rowed In
American waters, but that the struggle
would be one to call forth the most in
tense efforts, and that the issue would
be In doubt up to the last moment.
The prevailing opinion as to the re
sult of the struggle that is looked for is:
Cornell first; a desperate battle for sec
ond honors between Columbia and
Harvard, with a slight tide of -senti
ment in favor of the blue and white; and
Pennsylvania for the outsiders' posi
tion. However, the Quakers like the pro
verbial dark horse, may upset the cal
culations of the sharps.

Wilfrid Laurler, Liberal Leader, Its
First French Premier.
HIS VICTORY IS MOST DECISIVE
Greatest Ca'ns in QuebecMar Af
fect American TradeThe New
Administration Mill Endeavor to
Bring About a Reciprocity Treaty.
Montreal, June 25. For the first time
In eighteen years, and the second in
the history of this country, the Liberal
party Is In power. The premier, Wil
frid Laurler, is a French-Canadian
Roman Catholic, and will be the first of
his race and tho second of his creed to
bo In command of the government.
The only other Catholic who attained to
the prime ministership wa the late Sir
John Thompson, and his position came
to him as a cabinet selection, .and was
not won as the leader of his party at the
polls. Singularly enough, one of the Is.
sues of the campaign which brought
victory to Laurler was his opposition
to the course pursued by the govern
ment in attempting to force Manitoba
to maintain the separate Cathollo
school system which was In vogue
when she entered the confederation,
and the maintenance of which was
guaranteed In perpetuam.
According to the latest election re
turns, the Liberals will havo a clear
majority of twenty-two over all fac
tions. The complexion of tho next
house will be:
Liberal ., 118
Conservatives 83
Independents 11
Elections yet to be held 1
Total m .113
QUEBEC THE GREAT SURPRISE.
The Independents include the Patrons
of Industry, as the Poullsts or Socllaists
are called, and the Canadian Protestant
Association members. The defeat of the
government was overwhelming. In
Quebec, which they stalked with cabl
net positions and where they madea for
mal appeal to the religious prejudices of
the people, they were decisively beaten,
In the wreck there Tallon, the post
master-general; Angers, the president
of the council, and Des Jardlns, the
minister of public works, went down.
Quebec went Liberal In forty-seven out
of a total of sixty-five seats. Nova
Scotia, the home of the premier, Sir
Charles Tupper, a province which he
heretofore dominated) absolutely, re
turned twelve Liberals to eight Con
servatlves. In Tupper's native county
of Cumberland, Dickey, minister of Jub,
tice, was beaten. New Brunswick made
Liberal gains, returning six Liberals.
The old county of Kings, represented
for years by George F. Foster, minister
of finance, was swept clean by Colonel
Domvllle. Foster contested It by proxy,
he choosing to run In another county,
Manitoba, from which province the
trouble originally arose that got the
Conservative administration in dlffl
culty, spit even. Ontario returned
forty-itwo Conservatives, forty-three
Liberals and six who have no special
party affiliations. The Liberals un
doubtedly have such a majority as will
enable them to successfully undertake
the responsibility of government. The
Manitoba school question will, of
course, obtrude itself.but Laurler should
be diplomate enough to deal with it in
a manner that at any rate will gain him
time. The first step will probably be
the appointment of a commission to in
vestigate the entire matter and confer
with the Manitoba government.
LIBERALS' TRADE POLICY.
The trade policy of the Liberals will
be, however, the one which will most
Interest the people of the United States.
They will undoubtedly seek to establish
reciprocity on some such basis as was
founded the treaty of 1854. The treaty
worked admirably, particularly with
the maritime provinces whose trade,
naturally, is with the New England
btates. The desire for reciprocity on
the part of the people here has been
btrong at all times. It so asserted Itself
in 1800 that Mr. Charles Tupier, Sir
John Thompson and Minister of Finance
Foster visited Washington and held
several conferences with Mr. Blaine,
who was then secretary of state.
But the errand was only a theatrical
one. Reciprocity as Sir John A. Mac
donald, who then dominated the Can,
adlan government, believed, was but a
half way station to commercial union,
but one step removed from annexation,
and so he Instructed the commission
that the request to be made by them
should be such a one as the United
States could not entertain. This re.
quest was for reciprocity restricted to
natural products of the mine, the sea
and the farm. Naturally the proposl
tlon was not entertained and the com
mission returned. This "endeavor" to
obtain reciprocity, coupled with the re
sources of Macdonald and the tremen
dous backing of the Canadian Pacific
railroad, tied over a crisis with1 them,
It Is expected here that because of
the known friendly relations between
the present Liberal leaders and the
leaders of the Republican party, a com'
merclal alliance, such as Is looked for
In this country, may be practically ef
fected. Throughout its career, the Lib,
erul party has advocated an equitable
adjustment of all matters Of conten
tion or Irritation.
