WAsiuvqton. Jan. 7. An International fall
1 r Congress at Chicago, during tho World's
' Falrof 1893. lift plan now belne perfected by
lending Democrats In Washington, with a
,0W to tho ultimate settlement ot the silver
nuestion on a rmrmanont basis, and Its Imme
diate retirement as a political issue. This
flan has boon under consideration by
attain leaders ot the party for threo
er four weeks, and efforts havo been rondo to
leepit a secret until lis authors should bo
ready to placo It before the public. Tho dli
rUMlon has been confined altogether to mem
bers of the Democratio party, and leaders of
the free-silver as well as nntl-silvor factions of
the party havo been brought into consultation.
Influential men on both sides have glvonthn
plan their upprovaL and Itls nowbollevod that
sufficient number of plodges lmvo been se
cured to Insure tho succoss of the dnn. It is
therefore probablo that a bill will soon be pre
tared and Introduced In theHouso embodying
the scheme, ot which some of tho details still
remain to bo pcifccted.
Democrats from tho West come to Coneresi
directly from their constituents, and declare
that unless the now House does something for
illverltwlll bo impossible for them to carry
their districts this year, or to realize the hopo
thstanumbor of Western States will come
Into tho Democratio told at the Presidential
election. Democrats from New York and
tv'ew England, with equal sincerity
and real, say a declaration of tho party at
Washington for free and unlimited coinngo
would miil.o dimeult. If not impossible, tho
tAskot carrying Xow Vork, and would cortaln
r tako Mnssichusotts and Connecticut
out ot tho ll't of doubtful Btatoa nnd
male thorn certainly Republican. Added to
this dilemma Is the woll-known fact thnt legls
lutlon st tlil session of Congress designed to
restore silver to its old rank as a money metal
muptnecesMitlly bo futile, on acconntofthe
veto power which President Harrison stands
ready to Interpose.
Seeking a way out of those perplexities, the
Democratic leadors have hit upon tho plan of
passing through this Congross, within a
month or two, a bill authorizing the I'rosidont
of the Unllod States to invite tho principal
nations o( Europe especially tliose of tho
jtln - American union Great Britain,
France, Germany, Austria, and Italy to an
International Monetary Congress, to bo held
in Chicago during the World's Columbian Ex
position of 1803. As soon as two or more
countries shall have accepted tho Invitation,
the President shall designate the dato of as
semblage and appoint the delegates which ho
is to be authorized to appoint in the bill.
It Is proposed that the United States shall
be represented by fifteen delegates, flvo of
these be appointed by the President from
among private citizens of high character and
conspicuous ability, Ave to be appointed by
the Speaker of the House of Representatives
from among the membership of that body, and
8f to be chosen by the United States Senate
fwm among. theV Senators. The suggestion
has been made that tho Secretary ot
State and Director ot the Mint should
h made ex officio delegates from tho United
states, but among those having the matter in
charge this proportion tins been finally re
jected, as tending to placo too much power in
the hands of the Americun Administration,
T, bile tho essence ot tho Idea Is that tho Con
gress must roprosunt, not so much tho central
Government of tho uarticlpating countries, as
thn parliaments and people thereof.
, 'The nations of Europe would bo invitod to
lend delegates tothls congress, chosen insuch
mannoraHoa'ch country might detormino for
Itself, for the purposoof establishing interna
tionally the uso of gold nnd silver ns bl-
uiemiiic money, 10 iiv me ratio or permanent
vnluo between those metals, and to arrange
tor tho culnago in each of tho countrlo-i
renresentod of un International coin or inter
national coins to pass current at llod valuo
throughout all tho nations of the world. Caro
, would be taken to so phrase tho invitations ns to
t avoid tho mistake which was mado by Trance
in issuing tho invitations for the International
lSimetulllo Confuicnuo of 1881, whim Great
Britain declined to participate, becauso In
her opinion tho terms of tho Invitations bound
her to abldo by t hoconcluslons of tho congress.
In tliit in-.tari"o It Is not hoped or dosirod to
bend In advance tills jr any other country to
the llndlniMof tho congress, but to ronkothe
congress onu or invnstigntlon and interchango
ot views n ml of Until recommendation, which
tho lartlciputiiig nations may follow by the
necessary parliiincntaiy action ornot In this
roeiicct tho :ongiess Is designed to bo biiul
Inr to tho Pan-American congross which mot
tu years ago in Wabhlugton nt the Invita
tion of this Government. That congress
Merely rocom mended legislation to tho Gov
ernments of tho paiticlpating countries, nnd
In tvi-rrd Instances theso recommendations
have linen followed.
The prumMetn uf this plan to rescue sllvor
from its pioxent unsatisfactory rank ns a
ni''iie met.il nnd to Insure Democratic liar
ni"nr and success do not anticipate any
difficulty in securing acceptances of the
invitation from tita principal nations of
Europe under the proposed conditions.
"Iiilo It would bo impossible to induce
any of theso nations to delegate power
to such a congress. It Is believed thoy will
fecopt un invitation to join in the prepara
l un of ii ,nn to solv e that w hlch Is now one of
the ynrld'i greatest fiscal and commercial
ProMcm, a problem which a number of those

In which the silver ijuestlon can ever be satis

and leave fatties free to contest before tho
People those Issues on one side or the other of

But Taylor .V Co. found Shadrno Cook In pos

Tho bill called for JU4.

thoy were mot by a mob who hnd start
ed out to hunt Neal down. The Sims
party endeavored to escape, but all were,
quickly captured. Neal showod fight and
emptied his revolver at the posse. The pur
suers then closed in on him. nnd he was dis
armed. In spito of this he continued to fight
tho posse. In n furious struggle one of tho

Tho pos-e was ntreidy roused to bloodshed,
and this aet mndo them more furious. The
leader rode back und, warned the women nnd

thing that might call down vengeance on
themselves.
Theudvlco was not honied, the women pick
ing upstones nnd bulling them ut the regu
luters indiscriminately, ut tho same time call
lug the men names that were offensivo to

The reports which have reached here say
that a rush was thon made for tlio two mon
and two women, und that In spite of entreaties
from one or two of tho regulators all were
strung up to the oak tree on which the. body of
Neal blms was hanging. The lynchers then
dispersed.
On Dec. 25 Boh Sims and two members ot
tho gnng named Thomas and Jolin Savage
wore lynched In Choctaw county by a mob.
John Savage was tho son of Thomas, and was
only 10 years old.
The Sims gang had bean guilty of many
orlmes. the culmination coming on Dec 'H,
when the McMlllin family was murdered be
cause of some trouble about land, A Sheriffs
nosso, armed with a slx-nouna cannon, started
for thn Sims cottage, Sims and his two com-
fianionn were woll armed nnd hud expeoted to
mid tho cottage, until night, when a dash for
liberty would be mndo. On seeing the cannon
the outlaw offered to surrender if the
Sheriff would guarantee him protection
from the members of the posse. Tills
the Sheriff said ho could not do,
but he would tiivo him a guard of fllty
nrmod men, This proposition Minis accepted.
Tho armed gimid started with the prisoners
on the journey to Butler, After tholr depart
ure a crowd, numbering about ICO mon,
mounted on horses, und started in pursuit.
On tho rond thoy met John Savage,
who had been reported ns captured,
und hanged on Christmas eve. Without much
ndothey put u ropo around his neck nnd
linngeu lilin up ton tree. Thoy overtook thn
other piisoners about two miles from the
sturting point, and returning with them to
tho sumo treo from which John Savage
wns hanging, the mob adjusted ropos about
tholr necks und mounted them two ntn time
in n buggy, which wus then driven out from
under Ilium.
Alter tlio lynching tho mob formed in n cir
cle about the bodies and shot Into them. Later
tho two duughtvrs of Bob Sims, Jaiura and
Beatrice cut tho bodies down and removed
thoni to their homo.
Ever since the McMIHIn murder n posso has
been at work hunting down tlio Sims ho) s nnd
their follow ers. Tho family is now iivuily
wiped out. It in said that threo moro men who
wero engaged In the outlawry of the gang will
be nut to dentil us soon as they are caught. .
The daughters of Sims wero remarkable
young women. Their father owned small
farm in Choctaw county, operated a moon
shine distillery, assisted .by his sons and
daughters, and on ttundajra praacaed to 1
his neighbors tho pocullnr doctrlno of
his so-called roltglon. Tho main fenturo
of thlsrollglon was tho complete repudiation
of all nllegianco to human law and nn Inter
pretation of dlvlno law to suit the viuwaof
himself nnd his followers. Ho Insisted that
ovcry man should bo governed hy bis own
jtenso of light nnd wrong without regard to
law. He hold that ovcrylmun hud a perfect
right to do Just as ho ploased.

morals, und bocamo enthusiastio followers of
tho now prophet nnthev called Sims. Tho
Blmsites boon nunibmed about 100 persons,
find regular weekly meetings wto held ut tho
homo of thn lender. His tlueo daughters were
enthusiastic believers in his teachings. Thoy
had recolved soino education nt local schools,
nnd tho ontlro family woro regular roadors of
n. number or newspapers. Thn daughters
lenrnod prlntlug, and with a small outfit, pur
chased by their father, thoy established a
weekly puporcallod tho 7'me Way. It was de
voted entirely to explaining and advocating
the doctrines of tho elder Sims. One room of
the log house In which tho family lived was
used ns a printing office, nnd tho threo young
women did all tho work on tho new papor,
mental and mechanical. Its circulation was
limited to tlio mombers of tho orgnniratlon.
I.nst summor tho two girls wont to Mont

They wore neatly drossed and modost looking,
nnd tho ovldent sincerity with which they told
tho story of their alleged wrongs mndo a fa
vorablo impression on Uov. Jones, and ho
promised to Investigate tho matter nnd bob
that Bob Sims received justice.
Tlio action of the girls in boldly going to the
Governor and asking protection for tholr
father surprised the citizens ot Choctaw
county, and for awhile thoy ceased to inter

Coilume and Chatting With tjeantor
Waehliurn-He Complains of the Peralet.
ent Xtrbrta Put Forth to Make Him
Appear aa a Confirmed Invalid.
WaSHINcitov, Jan. 7.-Socrctary Blaine has
entirely rocovcrcd from tho attack of Indiges
tion which ho sufforod yesterday, nnd will
probably bo at tho State Department to-morrow.
At 0 o'clock this evening a Suh reporter
sent his card to Mrs. Blaine for the purpose ot
Inquiring as to the Secretary's condition, and
was askod up to the drawing room, whero ho
found the Socrotary dressed in afternoon cos
tume, chatting animatedly with Senator Wash
burn. Mrs. Blaine said:
" Horo Is a roportor for The Bvx. Mr. Blaine,
who has conio to soo whether you aro as 111 as
you wero roportod to bo."
The Secretary thoroupon arose, grasped his
caller cordially by tho hand, and suld :
"Inm glad to soo you, and to assure you
that I havo wholly rocovored from my Illness
of yesterday, which was simply whntthodoo
tors have described it to be. an attack of acute
indtgostlon. caused by a too hearty breakfast
and lack of sufficient exorcise during tho past
few days. I havo not felt bettor in sevoral
years than I do to-night, und you can assure
the readers of The Sun-that thoro is not tho
slightest excuse for the exaggerated and sen
sational reports as to my illness, which was a
trifling one,"
Tho Secretory then spoko of some of tho
nowspapor articles that had bocn shown him,
and laughed heartily nt what ho called tho ab
surd statements about his health. Scnntor
Washburn thon spoke of tho persistent efforts
of certain newspapers and certain politicians
to create tho impression thnt Mr. lllnlno was a
sick man. and Mr. Blulno said that the task of
making a confirmed Invalid of him had boen
carried on persistently for threo or four years.
Ho said that ho was practically a well man last
summer, threo weeks nfter he arrlvod at Bur
Harbor, nnd yit hn vvas rursued as no man
ever hud been, nnd stutoments wero sent out
of tho most seneiitlnnal character that con
tained not a word ot truth.
After talking this way about himself fora
few moments, nnd showing by Ids rapid walk
ing about tho room, his laughter ovor some of
the published leports, and his general ani
mation, that ho had recovered from his sick
ness of yobterduv. Mr. Blnino fell Into a rem!
ncsccnt mood, and ho nnd Senator Washburn
told of their ently dujs In political life, and
how public men had In thoso days been re
garded und treated by tlio public nnd the press.
Mr. Blaine talked of tho political questions of
to-day, and spoke in a very hopeful way of the
future Diospectsof the Republican party. He
gave an evidence of tho retention in all its vig
or of his wonderful momory by saying thnt ho
could to-day recount the moat minute details
of the politiei.l histutyof his nutlvo State or
Peunsjlvania. including the naming of overy
county In the State in alphabetical order.
After hulf an bout's chat, Mr. Blulno escorted
TueSi'n reporter to the door with the assur
ance that ho hnd Buffered no ill effects from
jesterdny't. attuik. but that ho felt as well as
evei to-night.
The phj -Ic'iins appear to have told the truth
about Mr. l'laine'b condition. There can bo no
doubt that tlioir statements as to the nature
and seventy of tho illncas which Middonly
seized the Secretary uto conei-t. Thero is
nbsoli.tely no truth whatever in the rsport
thnt Mr. Blaine was stricken with apoplexy, or
that t hem were any symptouih w hutever ot that
disease. Thn apoplexy report grew entirely out
of t he htreit i unmr which went fiying broadcast
ever tho illy at tlio first intimation of Mr.
Blaine's sickness mid beforo theio was any
opportunity to lent n the facts. Indigestion nml
gout are tho two ailments which attack Mr.
Blaine so often and which he is obliged to
fight so constantly. Tlio uttnek of yesterday
is similar to tlio nnn which preceded his visit
to New York last spring, and is. no doubt, duo
to overwork and Indiscretion in euting.
The knowledge that Mr. Blalnn is not rlnn.
gerously ill and that he will in a day or two
probably by back at his desk in tlio Stto De
partment has in nowise put a stop to the po
litical gossip which started up yesterday,
simultanojusly with the announcement of his
sieknoss. Thciols little doubt that among
the publle men hero Blalno -toe!: doprcelntod
temporarily when the first accounts of his ill
ness wero received. Tlio Presldont has shown
tho utmost sollcitudo for his Secretary of Stale.
Hocnlled in person upon hlin yesterday, and
pent a messenger oarly this morning to
get tho latest report from tho sick loom. Mr.
Jliiriisou's friends nro ul! glad to know thnt
Mr. Blaino's Illness is not rcnlly serious, but
slight as it wus it has given thorn ronowed
hope, becnubo it enables them to say with
moro conlldunee what thoy havo said for the
past year, that tho Secretary of State, owing to
hi: physical condition, if for no other cause,
cannot bo considered a rival of President
Harrison or any other candidate for President

Ho roportn a running conltlct botweon tha if
ilcolnc desporadoos and an armod posse of jx
pursuers. According to his roport thera wero 1
two wagons loaded with fifteen ot tha men 'J
participating in the cation battle. They had jl
been encamped In a gulch south of Spring- J
field when thoy wcro dlsoovcrod. They aaw K
their pursuors nt about the same moment; aad :
then commenced a ltfo nnd death race. '
Tor ten inlloB tho two partios wero not within
firing distance, but just bofore dusk the pur
suing party came within less than a quarter of ;
a rnllo of tho dosporadocs and then the firing
commenced. This running fight was k opt up
on a lovel plain a distance of four miles. .Fol
lowing one fusllade four men wero
seen to turn bio from tholr aeats in
tho wagons. It could not be ascertained
whether thoy woro killed or wounded. The
imrsuiug party, finding that tholr jaded horses
would not enrry them further, made a dotour
of u halt mllo ton ranch, whero thoy prooured
frcsli horses, and tho race was resumed. Tho
courier started back from that point. ' ;
lip says tho pursuing party, numbering
fourteen men, would follow the desperadoes -into
No Man's Land If necessary, and brtnjr
them back dead or alive. Another courier Is ,
hourly exnoctod. and with him news ot a bat
tle, in which one sldo or tho othor will be) an
nihilated. It was learned to-day that the party which III
killed Dunn, and which numbered about fifty
men. wns mado up of details from the counties W
of Howard. Htovens. Grant, Morton, and Has- !
kelL Threatshavo boon made In each of these M

At 1 o'clock this morning a younjr man SH
named Eustts was arrested at his home In IB
Fargo and brought here, where he Is held by H
thotroojis. It is alleged that he was one of the flj

Itls certain that there is evidence provlnc
that ho had drawn plans ot all the roads about Bj
the residonceof Judgo Botkln, and especially 9
marking the place where the fight took place. 19
The plans wero duplicated andMsent to the . fl

Ho is notchargod with bolus ot tho attacking fl
party, but with being; an accomplice. H
Adjt-Gen. Hoborts ia at a loss to know what fl
to do with tho prisoners that have been left in 9
his charge. Their number waa largely In- fl
crenecd this morning. The problem Is be HJ
coming moro serious every hour. 'fl
Ho received orders from the Governor this flj
afternoon to hold tho prisoners only until flj
warrants were served upon them, when he flj
was lastructod to turn them over to the Sheriff HJ
To obey this would result In the prisoner's Iflj
release, for there are no deputy sherlgs here. Oj
who could take care ot them. All the warrants jHJ
have been issued by Justice Fox. and returns 9J
must be mado to him. The prisoners will be flj
kept until thoy have a preliminary hearing. flj
The Dlstriot Court should have been con- HJ
vened this morning by Judge Botkln. but In HJ
stead of going to Bprinirfleld he sent word that ' fJ
he could not como. advising that the attorney -sJjH
elect a judge pro torn. flflj
Tliis was done and court adjourned till Bat nH
