July 21. The heavy rains of last night
ilooded the Second brigade camp to
day, and many of the men were stand
ing up all night to keep themselves re
spectably dry for Inspection today.
Notwithstanding this fact, however, the
various coiiiuuinds of the brigade
showed up remarkably well and the
entire brigade shows u decided 1'n
piovenier.t both in appeuruuee und
drill. The inspection, however, at one
time developed Into an exciting and
whut em ne near being u rough scrim
mage between Colonel Hawkins' Tenth
and Culonel Normun Smith's lOlgh
teenth regiment.
It was dining the Inspection drill of
the Kighteeuth regiment. The Tenth
regiment had been out on practice drill
and us they came marching toward
their camp Lieutenant Colonel Elliott,
tile division Inspector, turned to Col
onel Smith and said: "Colonel, there
Is a large body of troops coming up on
your right; look out fur them." Colonel
Smith drew up his regiment and opened
lire on Hie Tenth, und Colonel Hawkins'
command gave way at llrst. to get out
of the way of the Eighteenth, but Col
onel Smith conMinied the attack until
the veteran commander of the Tenth
seente tin. (ire of battle and formed his
line to resist the attack. This wus just
what the "southwestern scrappers" of
the Tenth ward wanted, and company
after company jumped to the front and
opened upon their old-time enemies, the
"Pittsburg; Uutch," as they term the
Kightecnth r fe'huetit.
T.WCKN UY SURPRISK.
The Kiyhteciith, taken by surprise,
fell hack in confusion, as the Tenth
checked their line, and with wild yells
Colonel Hawkins' scrappers were about
to hurl themselves on Colonel Smith's
Hutch." when Colonel Elliott realized
the seriousness of the situation and
took u hand in the tight, culling the two
regiments off and stopping the buttle.
As the Tenth retired to their head
quarters they guvc- a uViiunt cheer
and slowly but sullenly tnlei-d their
camp.
The inspections lusted from 7 a. 111. to
7 p. ni., one organization being inspect
ed every two hours. In the following
oribr. The Fourteenth, Sixteenth,
Fifth, Klghti-eitth. Fifteenth and Tenth.
They had present for inspection. Flftii

Fifteenth regiment. 4M5 out of 490 men;
Sixteenth regiment, 4Sti uH of 4SK men,
and I'.igliteeiith regiment, HOfi out of
Mis men.
The headquarters guard was today
made up of u detail of about IH'ty men,
selected from the First brigade. Anionic
thein was a Bergeant fiom the dray
invincible., and when the guard was
formed It was discovered thut he wu3
ranking as sergeant, and consequently
over the white seigeant from the Feiici-
bles and the seigeant of the entire
guard. This fact cnused no end of
growling among tile whlto soldiers,
who, while they said they could not
object to Kervtng in the guard with
colored privates, they considered It
very different to be compelled to live
under a colored sergeant.
TRIED TO KI N THR CAMP.
Some colored camp followers attempt
ed to run things to suit themselves In
the Third regiment yesterday. Ten of
them were loafing around the stables,
sinoMmr Pittsburg stogies and cigar
ettes. Fearing they would set the stable
on lire, a corporal ordered them to
move on or stop smoking. They stoned
the corporal, and a guard was turned
out. which captured the ten colored
men, and they spent the night In the
culuboose, and were today driven out
of camp.
While the Second brigade was being
Inspected this morning Lieutenant
lirooks, of the Sixth cavalry. United
States of America,' entertained a large
number of spectators at division with
fancy riding and a school drill, by mem
bers of Troop E.
A hurdle w as placed on the open, and
for half nn hour the troop performed
some remarkable feats of fancy bare
back riding over and around the hurdle.
until a perfect circus ring wus cut In
the turf by the hoofs of the horses.
This afternoon Major Letio, who Is
in charge of the detachment of regu
lars here, conducted a cavalry drill of
all the troops In camp, the two troops
of regulars occupying the ilanks and
the .Sheridan, City and Governors troops
of the guards forming in between them.

BROWN HOIST WORKS STRIKE
Soldier Fire Several Shots at Rioters
About the Sceue of Action.
Cleveland, July 21. Soldiers at the
Brown Hoist works fired several shots
Into the yards of the H. P. Nail works
lust night, bayonetted a motorman to
make him stop his car, and arrested
two men who had claimed yelled "scab"
as the wagons containing non-union
men were parsing along Wilson ave
nue. The disturbance commenced on
the Clevelund and Pittsburg railway
tracks, when a picket was stoned from
the II. P. Nail works yards. The
picket came up to the gate of the boil
er house and threatened to shoot. He
was greeted with a shower of bricks,
one of which landed under his ear and
sent him to the ground. The picket
tired u shot Into the yards. Other
pickets came anil they fired too.
On good authority It is understood
that Mr. Brown has stated to the state
board of arbitration that If the men
will return to work as Individuals they
will be granted the right of representa
tion by committees of craftsmen. This
would be a concession on the part of
Brown to the locked out men.
BANKERS PATRIOTIC.
Eighteen Million Dollars to Increase the
Gold Keg.ne Is Subscribed
Upou Short Notice.
New York. July 21. President Fred
erick Tuppen, of the Gullatin National
bunk, said this afternoon: "The gold
to be contributed to the treasury hus
been collected entlrtly anions banks
which belong to the New York clearing
house. About $IX.UU0,H00 has been
pledged up to the present. It is hoped
to Increase the amount to $20,OW.ooo
Some of the trust compunles which have
gold may be asked to contribute. I
telegraphed today to a prominent bank
officer In Burton asking him to collect
gold there fa.' the treasury. He replied
by telephone that he would interest the
banks in the Boston clearing house in
the mutter. 1 have not met with a
declination from a single bunk that 1
selected us a contributor. There has
been the heartiest co-operation by the
bunks. The list will not be completed
before Thursday, a'ld no gold Hill be
delivered to t lie nub-treasury before
tnut day. There Is no way of prevent
ing gold exports so long as it is cheaper
for the Heiiin bankers to obtain gold in
New York than in London or elsewhere.
The situation may change so that it
will bi' cheaper to get gold In London."
Washington, July 21. Acting Secre
tary Curtis said he hud no "utlleiul In
formation" to give out. The treasury
has about $s7.Vi0.U'J0 In United States
notes und about $a;1.0in).0li0 In Sherman
notes, and could rer.dily exchange $:.'0,
000.MI0 of these for gold.
ejytli clashes of notes ore redeemable
In gold on presentation, so that if the
national bunks exchange gold for them,
and later on they desire gold, all tliut
is required Is to present them to the
treusuiy for redemption and they will
get sold for them.

liugism uud JIcKiulcyism.
St. Louis, July 21. The "Siamese
twin" conventions, which will meet
here tomorrow in different halls, but
ut the same hour, will have as the liga
ture that binds them together in a
settled purpose only the free silver
plank of the Chicago platform. There
Is no uttempt to disguise the truth that
on all other Issues the two conventions
will be hopelessly divided.
"The national silver party," wlioe
cull Issued Jan. 4, ISiiti, Mated that the
paramount issue it had to consider was
"the gold standard, gold bonds and
bank currency on the one side and the
bimetallic standard, no bonds and gov
ernment currency on the other."
On this plutforin a representation of
1.318 votes was proposed for tlu "na
tional silver convention." but not more
Until :U0 of these straight silver dele
gates are recorded us present in the
city, and scarctiy more than that num
ber is llkdy to be present when Pr.
J. J. Molt, of North Carolina, calls the
convention of silver men to order to
morrow. The repivsc ai'utlon of the
"People's party," or as It is generally
termed, the "Pooullst party" of the
United Slates was established on a
ratio, which should have yielded l.Itr.S
delegutes und ti.'C alternates, a total of
2,o:;l. ('hull iii.in Tuobeneck, who Is not
the least sanguine of the executive of
ficers of the Peoplr's party, does pot
venture to anticipate a larger attend
ance thnn l.OOO delegates and alter
nates tomorrow.
PI KPOSE OF SILVETUTKrt.
The national silver party Is to meet
at what Is known as the "Music Hall."
Its con i. -e will be ull pluin sailing. It
has only one purpose in view- the en
dorsement of free coinage of silver. It
will listen wjth more or less attention to
Ioii.t. Belli Uirly addresses from Francis
G. Newlands. of Nevada, "the silver
He" congressman, it n chosen tempor
ary president, and from William I. St.
John, of New York, ex-banker, who
will be the permunent president. This
body will In ull probability follow its
programme which Is to endorse the Chi
cago nominees on a silver platform. Is
sue an address to the pewple, and either
adjourn promptly or either prolong the
convention by long speeches until its
more turbulent neighbor has concluded
Its proceedings. The People's party
will assemble In the same hall which
recently echoed with the name of Mc
Klnley as tlie Republican nominee. As
the course of its proceeding will be. the
claims of the two factions are tonight
iulte us divergent as they have ever
been. The presence of Senator Jones,
of Arkansas, chairman of the Dem
ocratic national executive committee,
and his freiiuent interviews with promi
nent Popull.'t delegates has naturnlly
glveii rise to rumors that a "deal" was
on which would secure the Indorse
ment of Bryan and Sewall by the con
ventlon und such a recognition of the
People's parly as would Induce them
to sink for the time being their own
Identity.
T. V t.KNECK'S DISCLAIMEU.
Against this theory Mr. Tuubeneck,
chalriiicn of the People's party, inter
poses tlie strongest kind of a disclaim
er, asserting with vehemence that the
Populists Intend to nominate candidates
of their owu upon a platform of their
own.
There has been all day strong talk of
nominating a southern Populist for the
second place on the ticket, even If Bry
an should secure sufficient strength to
be endorsed for first place.
Hut shrewd manipulators who are
managing matters say that "the tail
goes with the hide," uud that if they
carry Bryan through (of which they
have no doubt) Sewall will follow.
The "middle of the road" men on the
other hand, are claiming to have carried
everything before them. They held a
meeting tonight and counted twenty
states as with them. In a determina
tion not to Indorse the Chicago ticket.
But their opponents assert that they
counted all the recalcitrant Bryan men
as representing their states, whereas
the full delegation, if polled would have
been adverse to them,
Hoth sides seem at a loss to estimate
the slgnilieaiice of the selection of Sen
ator Muiion Butler, of North Carolina,
by the national committee as the tem
porary chairiuun of the convention. He
hus been claimed by each faction and
appears not to have committed him
self Irrevocably to either. This may
perhaps explain his unanimous selec
tion as the temporary presiding officer
of the convention. Thut it will be a
picturesque and curiously Interesting
gathering Is already assured. Among
those to. be present are Generul Weaver,
of Iowa, and Mr. Streator, of Illinois,
both former candidates for the presi
dency on the Populist ticket and Gener
al Fields, of Virginia, candidate four
years ago for the vice presidency.
Eugene V. Debs and his lieutenant.
Burns, who shared his imprisonment,
Mrs. Helen Goddard. Mrs. Mary Ellen
Lease, "General" Jacob Coxey, und
Curl Browne, these and other possibili
ties will Intermix with the grizzled
wheat fanners of the West, the cotton
planters of the South and the enthusi
astic new converts from the East and
middle states who will go to make up
this convention.
NATIONAL COMMITTEE MEETS.
The national committee of the Popu
list party met at 10.30 this morn
ing to perfect the temporary or
ganization of the convention. Chair
man Taubeneck presided, and about
fifty members were present. This
committee Is organized upon a radi
cally different basis from that of
the old parties. Each state and terri
tory Ic entitled to three members, and
out of the entire membership of 153 a
central executive committee of two Is
chosen to manage the campaigns. There
were but two contests of Importance
those from Colorado and Illinois, The
former Involved the entire state dele-'
"'t'ot. tb" '"ttw h" ?7 flM"a from
Cook county (Chicago). The Colorado
contestants were headed by ex-Governor
Walte, but he having declared for
Bryan's nomination, his colleagues de
posed him for another leader. In the
matter of temporary chairman, the two
candidates were General James B.
Weaver, of Iowa, who repcesented the
Bryan and Sewall element, and Senator
Marion Butler of North Carolina, who
was opposed to the endorsement of the
Democratic ticket. ,
After the matter of membership of
the committee Itself had been deter
mined the committee preceded to con
sider applications by a number of states
for Increased representation In the con
vention. The basis upon which this
Is made by the national committee in Its
call is one delegate for each member
of congress, from the state, and an ad
ditional delegate for each 2.000 votes
cast at the preceding general election.
In making up the table of delegates for
this convention the national committee
was compelled to act upon data con
tained In the various presidential al
manacs and in the case of a number of
states this inl'ornintlon proved to be in
accurate. The committeeman from each
southern state demonstrated by certi
fied co)ies of the tabulation of voles in
his state that the 1'opullsts were en
titled to an Inereuse in the number of
delegates of from one to live, the latter
being allowed the state of Texas.
The several teriitories were ullowed
six delegates Instead of four, making

Deiiiocrutlc und Republican conven
tions'. Oklahoma was given the same
light of representation us tlie states,
(hut Is, one delegate for Its delegate In
congress and one for each 2,000 votes,
which makes Its total representation
nine. A recess wus then taken.
ATEltNOON SESSION.
One- of the fcatures of the afternoon
session of the national cominltlee of
tlie silver party .was u speech mude by
Mr. Battcll, the member from Ver
mont. Mr. But tell created considerable
enthusiasm when he asserted that tile
funnels of Vermont were In open re
volt uguinst existing conditions.
lie asserted that the Republican
state convention was ustoiinried at tlie
attitude assumed by the Republican
farmers, mid that they were uncertain
what course to pursue. .
Mr. Foster, of Oregon, Fpeaklng to the
proposition that It was very essential
that the silver party should continue
their organization us uu liulependi nt
body with which Republicans and Dem
ocrats could both consistently unite in
their support of free silver, asserted
thut Bryan and Sewall would carry
Oregon by "!t majority of at least ten
thousand.
A special committee consisting of
Senator Jones, of Nevada, und Messrs.
Stevens, of Oolorurio, Baker, of Cali
fornia. Thompson, of Washington, und
lievine. of Nebruska. was appoint. 'd to
druft an address to the public calling
upon ull friends of silver to support
Bryan and Swwull.
The North Carolina Populists met to
day and completed their organization.
The delegation favors nominating
Goodwyn. the president candidate for
governor of Alabama, for vlce-presl;
dent.
Immediately upon reassembling
shortly after 2 o'clock the committee
took up the Cook county, Illinois, con
test. Mr. Donnelly, of Minnesota, moved in
the interests of harmony thnt the two
delegations be seated, each member to
have half a vote. After some discus
sion Mr. Donnelly's motion wus agreed
to 4!l to IS. The committee then voted
to proceed to the selection of a tem
porary chairman and temporary secre
tary. The expectation that this would
afford a test of the Bryan and anti
Biyan strength In the convention was
not reulized, for the nnmo of General
Charles B. Weuver. of lova, who had
been spoken of ns the Bryan candidate
for the place wus not mentioned. Mr.
Guthrie, of North Carolina, the prob
able Populist candidate for governor of
that state, presented the name of Sena
tor Marion Butler, of North Carolina,
claiming that the mantle of Leonard
Polk had fallen upon him and the honor
sought was due to North Carolina be
cause she had been' the first to break
the solid south.
Mr. Branch, of Georgia, named the
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota,
und a delegate from Kansas presented
the name of General Field, of Virginia.
Senator Butler was selected by accla
mation. For tempornry secretary the names of
W. D. Vincent, of Kansas, editor of
Sound Money, und John W. Hayes, sec
retary of ' the executive committee.
Knights of Lubor, were suggested and
accepted. "
DELEGATIONS MIXED UP.
The contesting delegathms from Illi
nois got mixed ,up in the hallway
outside the room In which the national
committee were hearing their respec
tive claims this evening and blows were
exchanged. The committee met at 9 p.
m and had been In session only a
few minutes when the contestants
headed by Burns and Ilogan, made
Home remarks about the Dr. Taylor
factions, which Taylor resented. The
He was passed and In a second the two
fuotions were mixed up on the floor.
Dr. Taylor was thrown down twice. He
used bis fists to goixl advantage and
lacked several blows on the faces of
his opponents. The men were pulled
apart, but got together a second time.
Dr. Taylor was thrown and several
men idled upon top of him. There
were threats of resorting to fire arms,
when the police, arrived and restored
order.
Meanwhile- the national committee
heard the claims of the contesting dele
gates and by a vote of 30 to 26. threw
out the Burns-Hognn faction and seat
ed the delegation headed by Dr. Tay
lor. This was a victory for Chairman
Taubeneck, at whose suggestion the
case was reopened. After the result
was announced and the two delegations
left the room there were several epithets
passed but the police prevented per
Bonat conflicts.
FOR INDEPENDENT ACTION.
St. Louis, July 21. The reform press
association, composed of Populists and
free silver newspapers, met In the head
quarters of the Texas Populists this
forenoon. A committee whose members
were J. M. Hallett, of Texas; A. P.
Tugwell, Washington; A. O. Brown,
Massachusetts; Frank Burkett, Missi
ssippi; M. W. Wllklns, California, and
Ignatius Donnelly, Minnesota; reported
an address, which was flat-footed for
Independent action by the Popullstic
convention. It denounced fusion or
conllHon with either of-the old parties
and declared emphatically against the
endorsement of Mr. Bryan. The read
ing of the address was followed by a
stormy scene. It was put through with
a rush, however, and the Kansas mem
bers of the association walked out of
the room to emphasise their disapprov
al. They drew up the following reso
lution and attached their signatures
thert to: "With the spirit of the resolu
tion we are In uccord. but believe that
the only way to relieve the people of
this country from gold-buglBm and Me
Kinleylsm Is to nominate Bryan and
Sewall on a Populist platform."
MANAGERS ALARMED.
Silver Men Are Preparing for Great
Efforts in the Solid South Some
States Surely Slipping.
Washington, July 21 In all their es
timates of the probabilities in Novem
ber Hryun's managers persist In figur
ing on u solid south ns the busts upon
which they will build a majority of
electoral votes. Yet the campaign man
agers are very much frightened over
the prospects In several of tlie Southern
states) and they huve ulreudy prepared
plans for an active "education" cam
puign In four states In which, accord
ing to their own figures, no campaign
Is iiectKsary. These states are Ken
tucky, Tennessee, l.oulsiuua and Ala
bama. When In Chicago Senator Hill
warned the flee silver men that there
was greut danger of the loss of the
electoral vctes of these states and he
pointed out thut suuli a lot's would more
than offset all the gains to be expected
from the Republican, silver states In
the Wist.
Another pioniinent New York Demn
ciat in conversation iwith a GeorglHiia
advocate of free silver said In Chicago:
"Don't forget that we have had to do a
heap of counting to hold the Suuth :?o!ld
In the past. This year some of our lust
counters may be found In the ranks of
the gold men and they will help count
for the other side."
Reports reaching the campaign com
mittee here indicate very clearly that
the (lunger of the loss of Tennessee.
Louisiana and Kentucky is grii.v'.iig
more imminent dally. This is especially
true in Louisiana und Kentucky und
Senator Harris Is so worried over the
outlook In his own stute of Tennessee
thut he Is frantically appealing for u'.d
from his ussoclates. The campaign
managers for the four st.it s n iiiiej are
trying to niuko arrangement i for u
stumping tour for Biyun In the South,
for, besides those states, thera ure dan
gerous signs In W'csf Virginia unJ
Maryland and even In Virginia Itself.

London. July 21. The queen arrived
