HBAIi TICKETS AMD LABOR UO HAND ' I >' BARD. A Free Labor Bureau and Bnetnees Han Provide Vood and Cooking; Uten • 11a ana the Hen Cook, Rat and Work. Fresno, Ang. 23. —More than usual activity wat manifested -in tbe labor world today. A number of prominent business men met to take immediate steps toward feeding'the hungry men. Mr. Parsons, who has been in charge of the free labor bureau, ssid that the vineyardlste will not begin picking for some days and tbe men are absolutely hungry, without money and without tnem had not had a square meal for a week, was pretty good evidence that thS men were law abiding. In a short time $100 was raised and a committee appointed to go to the city trustees and tell them to provide 100 shovels at ones and three or four over seers for the men. Then another com mittee was appointed to proceed at once to rent or buy a large stove and boilers, dishes and cooking utensils and set it np at the free labor bureau in a room furnished free of rent; then to buy beef, cabbage, potatoes, onions and bread enough to make 75 gallons oi rich soup and take it down to the free labor bureau. Uhe same committee furnished tables and benches, so that tbe men could eat. All of this was accomplished within an hoar after the meeting adjourned. Fire wat eeon raging in the stove, and from the ranks of the laboring men a carps of cooks was obtained, and they were told to go into the kitchen and make enough soup to fill every man. They went to work, and soOn several large boilers were bubbling with soup. The'throng of hungry men on tbe out side understood what was going on, and viewed it with most lively satisfaction. Many of them had not tasted food since the soup dinner of yesterday, and tome not since before that. About tbe same time the wagons loaded with shovels appeared, and it was plain that eating and working were going hand in hand. The citizens are going to furnish soup mealt, tbe city trustees furnish shoveia and overseers, and all men who get tickets for meals will be required to olean alleys and streets, working four houra a day ior three tickets.

BOIES IS RENOMINATED. His Nomination Made by Acclamation. lowa's Governor Again the Standard-Bearer. A Platform Adopted by the Conven tion. The Chairman Make* a Kinging; Speech Kesolotlone Againat Republican Bine Laws—Folnta ln the Platform. By the Associated Preai. Dks Moinbs, Aug. 23.—Henry Voll mer of Davenport, in taking tbe chair aa temporary presiding officer of tbe Democratic etate convention, which as sembled here today, said: "While an army of discontented un employed ewarms over the land, there stalks up and down the highways in their midst the Republican Pharisee with the assurance of inbred hypocrisy, shaking his finger at ub and our party ai the authors of this widespread misery, It is bigh time we repudiate thia fou slander and stamp the life ont of this crawling serpent—Republican decep tion. We live, it is true, under a Demo cratic administration, both etate and national; but in both the state and nation wearecnraed by Republican lawe. Let ua not forget nor permit the people to forget that we still have tbe bleaeed McKinley bill, that latest but most developed off-shoot of the poison ous plant, protection. Let ue not forget nor permit congress to forget tbat tbe unanswerable thesis of Bound political economy ia that our industries can never get ou a healthy natural baaia until this weed ia destroyed root and branch. "Panics are the necessary outgrowth and never failing accompaniment of this artificial system which stimulates growth abnormally in certain directions while it preventa extension in others and finally compels tbe pampered favor ites to shake their own slime in ever recurring spasms over production. "Let ua not forget especially that that cowardly makeshift, denounced by tbe national platform laat year, tbe Bber mcn bill, and discredited now by ita own author, still stands upon the statute books. Liko Esau, John Sherman cold his birthright for a mesa of pottage when he loaned hia name to thia uo- pirns threw to the winds thegreateat financial reputation of the age in a laat ineffect ual attempt to oapture votes ior the Republican ticket by saving Harriaon from tbe unpleasantness of vetoing the bill for the free coinage of silver. His name will go down to posterity linked with the law, upheld by none, con demned by all, the great and sufficient cause of our present financial diatress. "Our party la even held reaponaible for the condition of the treasury of the United States, yet four yeara ago it went out of power leaving a surplus of reve nues to an amount roundly stated at $100,000,000 in the coffers of the national treasury; but when Secretary Oarliele, barely five months ago, eaat an eagle eye into the strong box at Washington, he found tbeiein onjy tbe marks where "Calico Charley" had been scraping at the bottom of the bin. Both the Mc- Kinley and Sherman bills have got to go, and the people will sustain ua in the good work. "In tbe campaign before ua state issues only can be settled; but in the etate as in the nation we find that the will of the pneple repeatedly expreaaed in favor of a change of our laws still un realized, and while the world has admir ingly beheld the triumphant election and re-election of our grand old man, Horaele Boies, aa governor of lowa, we are still blessed with a act of blue laws tbat suggest tne ignorant intolerance of the darf ages, rather than the broad minded liberalism of these latter daya of the nineteenth century. The indecent contortions of the Republican party of lowa on this great issue, executing a veritable danse de ventre on the slip pery platform built in this city a week ago, will soon gain iior lowa the name of the midway plaisance of American politics." The renomination of Boies ie certain. Governor Boies said this morning his letter, declining to run a third time, was sincere, but he was willing to subordi nate his wishes to tbe wishes of the Democratic party. The committee on resolutions is conservative. After the committees had been announced the convention adjourned to 2 p.m. Dks Moines, Aug. 23. —Governor Boiea was renominated by acclamation amid tremendous applauae. Lieutenant-Gov ernor Bestow also received renomina tion. At this point tbe report of tbe com mittee on platform was read and adopt ed. A resolution declared confidence in the administration of Cleveland. The present Snancial stringency is laid at tbe door of tbe Republican administration, and congress ia urged to give tbe conn try relief. The Sherman act ia denounced as a cowardly makeshift which haa brought tbe present financial perils and troubles upon tbe country. The imme diate repeal of tho silver purcbaae clauae thereto ia demanded, and the uae of gold and silver as the money of the country on an equal basis ia favored; also demands that all paper currency shall be kept at par and with and re deemable in such coin; favors juat and liberal pensions to deserving veterans; favora, in the interest oi true temper ance, the passage of carefully guarded license tax laws, which shall provide for the issuance of licenses by vote of the people oi tbe different divisions of the state. "Aa partial reparation for unjust con iscation of private property caused by ;he prohibitory law, we favor such legia ation aa will permit tbe manufacture of ipirituous, vaneous and malt liquora iritbin tbe state, thereby giving to our iwn people at least equal rights in this TWELVE PAGES. respect with manufacturers in other states. Nominating then continued. John Oleggett of Mason City was nominated for judge of the supreme court; ex-Con gressman Tom Brown of Council Bluffs for railroad commissioner, and J. B. KnoepSer wag renominated for super intendent ef Btate instruction. Adjournment was taken after speeches by the nominees. Before the adjournment of the conven tion John P. Irish, who has just re turned from Washington, made a vigor ous speech in lavor of the repeal of the Sherman law. "It is the duty of every Democrat," eaid he, "to sustain the present administration. Democrats must sweep from the statute books every line of legislation passed by the Repnblican party for tbe expediency of and self power." IN PRAISR OF SALISBURY. Sir Richard Wabster on the Bering Ben Arbitration. London, Aug. 23.—1n addressing a meeting of the Primrose league, in Rye, last evening, Sir Richard Webster, M.P., attorney-general under tbe last Salisbury administration and British counsel in the Bering sea arbitration, said that he had been accused by tbe radicals of neg lecting tbe parliamentary interests of bis constituents for a fee incidental to hie duties before the Paris tribunal. "I am accustomed," he continued, "to euch accusations. The truth ia that although I considered myself honored by the ap pointment, I should have done better pecuniarily bad I remained at home." Sir Richard eaid also tbat tbe success of England in tbat arbitration displayed in tbe strongest manner the extraordinary good judgment and prudence of Lord Salisbury in conducting tbe negotiations with the* United Statea in the Bering sea affair. THE FIRST OBJECTOR. REV. M. B. STEWART WANTS TO KNOW, IOC KNOW. General Barnea Tells Him a Few Tilings Abont tbe Proposed Midwinter Fair—Tha Fall Text of the Letters. San Francisco, Aug. 28. — Several days ago trie reception committee of the California midwinter fair issued invita tions to all prominent officials of the city, including those of all tbe ebnrches, to attend tbe park ceremonies tomorrow, and among tbe latter addressed was Rev. E. B. Stewart, who replied to the invitation as follows: "To the Executive Committee of tho California , Midwinter luuirnutional Exj osltlom: -•ObaH riuts;~ Yrnrv Tarnation" to be present at the inauguration of the mid winter international exposition oh next' Thursday, August 21, 1893, is at hand. I desire to express my sense of the honor conveyed by the kind request. But ac one who entered an emphatic protest against the attendance upon the world's fair at Chicago because of the violation both of national and of divine laws, duty is clearly setting before me the ne cessity of avoiding even co much com plicity in this enterprise until the as surance is bad that ite gates shall be closed on the Sabbath. Much assurance I do not have at present, and therefore must beg leave to decline, with regret, the invitation co courteously given. "Very sincerely, E. B. Stewart." General Barnee replied to the letter ac follows: "Key. E. B. Stewart, Seaond United Presbyte rian church, city: "Dear Sir : Yours of August 22d is at band. In common with all other cler gymen of all religious denominations oi San Francisco, you were invited to be present nt the inauguration of an enter prise whose importance to the etate, to general education and to the highest ex pression of Christianity—charity to the poor, and labor for the laborless— can not at this time be exaggerated. We re gret that as a teacher of people yon withheld your sanction and presence on such occasion. The celebration will, nevertheless, take place. It will be opened with prayer and finished with a benediction implored of that divine pow er wbose aid in our work we seek. We hope He will be present if you are not, and we believe he will. With thie as surance of our faith, believe me, dear sir, yours truly, "W. H. L. Barnes, "Chairman Finance Committee." YELLOW VEVKB. It Cannes Destitution In the Afflicted Districts.

Pfeffcr's Resolution Put on the Calendar. Senator Hill Develops Ideas ani Opinions of His Own. The Silver Debate Proarenlng In the Honee—Stewart to Addreee tha Senate Today -other Wash ington News. By the Associated Press. Washington, Ang. 23.—1n tbe senate Pasco (Dem.) gave notice today of a eub etitnte to Vests' minority bill for eilver coinage at tbe rate of 20 to 1. Tne sub stitute proposes a commission of three citizena of tbe United Statea to be ap pointed by tbe president, to ascertain and determine \ij the lßt of January next tbe fair and juat ratio between the actual intrinsic value of silver and gold, aa a baeia for free coinage of ailver. After the result ia reported to the secre tary of the treasury, the weight of pure and atandard silver to be contained in dollars, halves, quarters and dimes shall be fixed and determined by them, and the ailver ia to be coined. PFEFFEK'S BESO'.TJTION debated. The resolution offered yeaterday by Pfeffer Populiat, Kanaaa, aa to tbe viola tion of law by tbe national banks in de clining to pay depositors' cheoka in cur rency, was taken up, and a motion to refor it to the committee on finance was made by Hoar, Republican, Massachu setts. Thia gave rise to a long and ex cited diecueaion, in which Senators Voorhees, Democrat, Indiana, Gorman, Democrat, Maryland, and McPheraon, Democrat, New Jersey, favored refer ence. Senatora Manderaon, Republican, Nebraeka, Kyle, Populist, South Da kota, Hill. Democrat. New York, Wol cott, Republican, Colorado, oppoeed it and insisted on the adoption of the reso lution. Gorman pointed out that the adop tion of the resolution would be a notice • to the comptroller of the currency, who would immediately proceed te enforce it and thereby necessitate the closing of banks and caute tbe utter ruin of tho country. Tbe cause of Pfeffer was sustained by Senator Hill, who broke away from the leadership of German and Voorheee, and in direct opposition to the position taken by thorn made several speeches which showed a division in the ranks. Hill plainly took a position which indi cates that he haa opinions and views of hia own not to be moulded by those who have been oonaidored tbe leaders of the Democratic aide of the senate. Hill undertook to draft come modifi cation of tbe resolution, but before be had completed them tbe morning hour expired, and the resolution went over without action. It took its place on the calendar, where it can only be reached again in the regular order, or on motion supported by a majority vote. Stewart gave notice, aa he was diaap po.nted in getting the floor today to ad dress the senate on the bill discontinu ing the purcsase of silver bullion, be would seek the floor tomorrow, and Hill gave'similar notice for Friday next, When the hour of 2 o'clock arrived Hoar called up the national bank bill Biul made an argument against Butler'a amendment repealing the 10 per cent tax on state bank circulation. THE lee mantel case. At tbe close of Hoar'a remarka tbe national bank circulation bill was laid aside without action, and tbe report of the committee on privileges and elec tions, in favor of seating l.cc Mantel aa eenator from Montana, Mac taken up. Arguments against the adoption of the report and the admission of Mantel were made by Gallinger and Piatt. Turpie and Chandler replied to aome of Piatt's points, and Pasco replied to Chandler. Haw ley argued in favor of the resolu tion. The debate was closed by Hoar in fa vor oi the majority report. Then at 5:15 a vote was taken on the substitute offered by Vance, declaring Mantel not entitled to the seat, the vote resulted: Yeas, 35; nays, 30. So the substitute was agreed to.
