Ita Frolsefori Trytng to Make an Ar

July Si.—' The plan* of the Or!-

a new turn today, when President Asano
and his associate# announced that they
*5 "sired, if possible, to form a connection
with the Ch!'-ago. Burhngttm A Qelncy
railroad, the Northern F*ae:fi<? to form the
connecting link be'ween Tacoma and Pi -

t.ons for Chicajro and the far "East. They
say they appreciate that the Northern

cfflc roads have traffic c<»ntracta with ex
isting lines. They unde-ntand that the
Burlirqrton baa a through traffic agree
ment with the Northern Psciflc, and be
lieve a connection with that road would
be apedally advantageous in a
ehort route to Omaha and Chicago, and st
th« aatne time allow the use of the facili

CLOUDBURST IN COLORADO.
A Scora of Person* Probably Drowned
Near Morrison.
Lead villa, Col.. July 21.—A special to the
Herald-Democrat from Morrison, Col.,
says; A cloudburst in Bear Creek canyon.
Just above here, at 8 o'clock tonight
brought down a solid wail of water ten
feet high, which not only did great dam
age to property but caused the loss of
from fifteen to twenty lives.
The known dead are;
Mrs. Miiler and three children; a party
of campers, fifteen or eighteen in number,
who were living in a small house just be
low town. Viola Foster, a little Denver
girl, who was with this party, was saved
at a point half a mile below their camp
by people who heard her cries. This much
has been learned on this side of the creek,
but as all the bridges are gone and the
water Is still high an! swift, nothing can
be learned from the o'her side. Searching
parties are out on both sides of the stream
looking for bodies of dead and Injured.
It is feared that there has been more loss
of life, as there were scores of people
camping along both sides of the creek,
both above and below town. Wires are
down in all directions r-Xf* ept the tele
phone line to Leadvllle. an 1 heavy storm*
between here and there threaten to break
that.

wis deposited In the sub-treasury by
New York bankers, making the gold re
serve at the close of business stand at
sl(*s.6ss,lOP. The other .financial centers
are also coming forward to reinforce'the
treasury, and today jrold was offered in
exchange for legal tender ,notes to the
amount of $6,000,000. Of this Chicaco of
fered $2,000,000. Philadelphia $590,000 and
Boston $1,000,000.
The director of the mint, in answer to
an inquiry, has prepared a statement
showing that as the full existing mint
facilities of th»» country do not exceed
an annual coinage of silver dollars ex
ceeding $40,000,000. no less than fourteen
years would be consumed In replacing
with silver dollars the sold in circulation,
supposing the latter Is drawn away to
Europe, as has teen predicted, to follow
th* free coinage of silver, and that addi
tional mlntlnsr facilities are not provided.

true to his principles as the needle to the
pole." In conclusion Senator Stewart said
every free silver man was American and
against the English gold syndicates, and
they must vote as a unit, in spite of the
millions raised by the goldhußS to cor

SILVER EVENING SESSION.
Platform Adopted. Bryan and Sewall
Indorsed—Adjournment.
St. Louis, July 14—The delegates, as
usual, came together slowly for th« after
noon session, and at the hour fixed, S 30,
not half were In their s*ats nor were any
of the officers present. It was nearly
4 o'clock before the attendance assumed
Its usual appearance. The spectators wero
slightly moro numerous than at previous
sessions.
At p. m. Chairman St. John rapped
for order and introduced Rn Mr. Hager
ty, who made the opening prayer. At the
conclusion of the invocation, O. W. Baker
was called upon for a report from the
conference committee. He said th» time
was too short to reach a satisfactory con
clusion. Th*ro were not more than 'en
men in the conference, and only two
hours in which to discuss the methods to
be pursued. He read the resolutions wnieh
were a'opted at th« eonffrence. Op mo
tion of Mr Turr.'r, of Kansas, the report
was ac epfpd and adopted by a unanimous
vo»e. The report of the platform com
mittee was then rnad» by Senator Jones,
of Nevada, As he read the platform he
was frequently interrupted by applause.
Th« platform reads as follows:
"The X tton il Silver party. In conven
tion assembled, hereby adopts the follow
ing declaration of principles:
"First The paramount issue at this
time In the Cnltei States Is indisputably
the money question. It is between the
gold standard, gold bonds and bank cur
rency on one side, and the bi-metallie
s*an lard, ro bonds ind government cur
rer. ~y on the other. On this issue we de
clare ourselves to be In favor of a dis
tinctively Amerl-an financial system. We
are unalterably opposed to the slnjtle koM
standard, and demand the Jm mediate re
turn to the constitutional s*a ndard of gold
and silver by the re§toration by this gov
ernment. indepen lently of any foreiso
power. Of the unrestricted coinage of gold
and silver as the standard money at the
ratio of 15 to l and upon terms of exact
equality as they existed prior to 1573; the
silver coin to be a full legal tender, equal
ly with gold, for all debts ar.d dues, public
and private, ani we favor such legisla
tion .« Will pr- vent for the future the
demonetisation of any kind of leaal ten
der money by private contract We hold
that the powr to control and regulate
a paper currency i« ar ■> from the
power to coin money, and hence that all
currency intended to clreu!ate as money
should be issued and Its volume controlled
by the general government only, and
should be legal tender. We a-e ursiter
abiv opposed to the ls«ue bv the United
States of tn-er' *t-be»ring bonds in time
of pea e, and we denounce as a blunder
w than a crime the treasury policy
Incurred by * Republican house of planjr
j-; into debt by hundreds of millions In
the ra.n attempt t> maintain the go'd

"The demonetisation of Silver In 1971

Piteo'ialy clamoring for the common ne
cessities of life.
"Second -Over and above ill other ques
tions of policy we are In favor of re
storing to the people of the United States
the time-honored money of the constitu
tion—gold and stiver, not o;ie, but both—
the money of Washington and Hamilton
and Jefferson and Monroe and Jackson
and Lincoln, to the end that the Ameri
can people may receive honest pay for an
honest product: that the American debtor
may pay off his just obligations in an hon
est standard and not In a standard that
has appreciated 100 per cent, above all the
great staples of our country, an.l to the
end further that the silver standard coun
tries may be deprived of the unjust ad
vantage they now enjoy In the difference
in exchange between gold and silver—an
advantage which tariff legislation cannot
overcome.
"We therefore confidently appeal to tb*
people of the United States to leave in
abeyance for the moment all other ques
tions, however important and even mo
mentous they may appear; to sunder, !f
need be, all former party ties an! affilia
tions, and unite in one supreme effort
to free themselves and their children from
the domination of the money power—a
power more destructive than any which
has ever been fastened upon the civilised
men of any race or in any a«e. And upon
the consummation of our desires and ef
forts we invoke the gracious favor of
divine Providence.
"Inasmuch as the patriotic majority of
the Chicago convention embodied in the
financial plank of its platform the princi
ples enunciated !n the platform of the
American 81-rnetalllc party, promulgated
at Washington City January 22. ISW. and
herein reiterated, which Is not only the
paramount but the only real Issue in the
pending campaign; therefore, recognizing
that their nominees embody those patri
otic principles, we recommend that this
convention nominate W. ,T. Bryan, of Ne
braska. for president, and Arthur Sewall,
of Maine, for vice president"
A motion to adopt the platform was
made. Mr. Hess, of Illinois, objected, end
<a. wordy wranjrl* followed. It ended la
the adoption of the platform.
It was decided by the chairman 4hat
the recommendation regarding the nom
ination was not a part of the platform
an I should be acted upon separately.
Mr. iPiigfi, of Nebraska, moved that tho
convention proceed the nomination of
a presidential candidate. The motion pre
vailed.
Gen. Warner said It would be necessary
to nominate a. candidate rather than to
Indorse, in order to avoid some of the
peculiarities of the state ballot laws.
T>. K. Little, of Kansas, nominated "Will
iam J. Bryan, of Nebraska. He said that
through a lons term of years this countrv
had experience! a depression in business
(that had never before been seen on this
earth. He spoke of the denial of trial bv

Indorsed the Cleveland administration
and nominated MoKinley. Vontinulna. he

Bryan, of Nebraska. He would b» the
i ext president. There was loud and vig
orous applause at the conclusion of Mr.
Li ' He's speech.
Co!. 1.. C. of Nebraska, seconded
the nomination of Bryan. Wh«n he came
irto the hall, he said, he was met hv the
motto. "Ix>. the polls, ve sons of freedom."
and he could scarcely refrain from ex
claiming. "All hat!" and when he saw
the rtars of the flier he felt that the
s'ars of the heavens were over the homes
of all the countrv that needed a savior.
He believed th»t the nomination was but.
formal, as every delegate had but the,
on" purpose —the nornlna'ion of W H.anr
J. Bryan, He said that in the nomina

thanked God that this people could still

c«ruil,lutes. Sewall, Marm P«„'e, of Vir
ginia; A. L Mi nuns, of Temu !'<eo; Con
gressman 0k inner, of North CarollriH, and
Col. Burkett. of Mississippi. The nomi
nation vu made unanimous before the
result of the roll call was announce!. Mr.
Bryan sent word to his supporters that
he would not accept a nomination at tho
haiula of the convention ur.der thps* <ir
cumsHrKfs. Ha will stand loyally by his
running mate.
The opposition to Seaall in the Populist
convention practically awamped tho Itryan
forces at tho day section of th« conven
tion, maklnr it imr>o«ilble to prevent a
division of the Chlceco tick« t. The lea 1-
ers were powerleaa to check the alror.if
feellnpr agalnat the ltath ehlpbullder atvl
banker. They had carried the day In the
committer on resolutions in framin* a
comparatively moderate platform, which
they afterward >rot through the conven
tion with ea.«e. atrateav waa akl'l
fully diaplaye<l at other points. Hut tho
intense undercurrent of feeling apalnat
Bewail was to them.
It was a sunken ditch. unmark> d upon
the battlefield, which, clutching with Its
muddy Jingers af the wheels of his artil
lery. tw»re down Napoleon ar.d his eaules
at Waterloo. Today the ditch was In op» n
view. From the beEinninjc It his capel
like a athwart the path of the
Bryan managers. In vain they attempted
to brldae It. Moreover, today, for the first
time, the middle-of-the-road element dis-
played tfeneralxhip worthy of the n«n»e.
Recognizing the fact that all hop«- of de
feating Bryan's nomination was lost,
they concentrated all their efforts ag<H»st
Bewali. They did more; they devlfed a
cunning scheme bv which the eonventfo-i
wis fore»d to nominate the vice president
before the pre*; lent. It was an unprece
dented thing, but it served to mass the
votes in favor of a Populist can Mdate foe
vice president and uncover them in ad
vance. In the f#rir that if Bryan were
nominated the enthusiasm might break
down the opposition to Hawaii and s'am
pele a majority of the votes for the Xe
braskan'* running mate. When the prop
osition waa made to change the regular
order of nominations the Bryan men
