July 2.?The announce h'nent that the eastern gold standard Hrn. Wlllam C. Whitney. Senator Hill Hid others, would arrive here to-mor L has put ?omc heart Into the gold Standard men who are here, ohd the ar Buraent In hotel corridors w&xcd a little K-armcr. A rumor of the withdrawal of ?he gold standard forces fom the con tention If they are defeated, Is. still current, but It ennnot be definitely placed. so far as arranged plans of the cold standard men are concerned. The plan nranged Is. afloat, calcu lated to make thing# lively, even If K has not.the greater effect,tthp one the cold standard men desire,?tjf-obtalnlng converts. It will be similar to the plan adopted by the New York Democrats ?luring the days preceding the conven tion of 1*92. when in the same halls the oratoro foretold the destruction of De mocracy If President Cleveland was re 4nominated. The plan Is to have Sena tor IIlll, Mr. Whitney, ex-Mayor Grant. John H. Fellows, Senator Smith, of New Jersey, ex-Governor Russell, of Massa chusetts, and other well known orators, discuss the situation with, not only the leaders of the gold standard-movement, but with the leaders of the sliver move ment. If these dlscu*slonssllke the Hill and Cleveland discussions of 1S92, are to be made public, the result can hardly be foretold, for the silver sentiment here now In sdeh preponderance Is of an ex citable character. A conference of the gold standard men Is called for 8 o'clock to-morow night at the Auditorium, and It Is believed that a line oC action will be mapped out at that time. The state ment that Wilson S. Blssell. of HufTalo. would? act as delegate-at-large In place of United States Senator Murphy. In the New York delegation. Is believed here to be erroneous, as Mr. Murphy's alter nate Is Senator Jacob A. Cantor. Mr. Blssell. however, will, as a close friend of President Cleveland, take an active part In the fight for gold. Hon* 1 hr>* Stand. It being understood that the territo ries are to be allowed C votes each, and that the District of Columbia ijLto have G votes"also, the total number of votes In the convention la 918. Then 4GQ would be a majority and 612 a two-thirds ma jority. Of these figures the silver men ! to-day claim there states: Alabama, 22: Arkansas. 16: California. 18: Colora ; do. 8; Florida. r?; Georgia, 2G; Idaho. 6; Illinois. 48: Indiana, .10; Iowa, 2G; Kan sas. 20: Kentucky. 26; Louisiana. 16; Maine. 5; Minnesota. 7; Mississippi. 18; Missouri. 34; Montana. 6; Nebaska. 16: | Nevada, 6; North Carolina,'22; North Dakota. G; Ohio. 38; Oregon. S; South Carolina, 18: Tennessee. 24; Texas. 30; Utah. 6; Virginia, 24; Washington, 8; Wetit Virginia, 12; Wyoming. 9; Alaska; 6;Arizona. 6; District of Columbia. 6; Indian Territory. 6; a total of C.3G votes. The gold standard people an* left on this basis only these states, with the accompanying vote: Connecticut, 12; Delaware. 6; Florida, 3; Maine. 7; Maryland, 16: Massachu setts 30: Michigan. 28; Minnesota. 11; New Hampshire, 8: New Jersey. 20; New York. 72; Ohio. 8; Pennsylvania, 64; Rhode Island. 8; South Dakota, 8; Ver mont. 8; Wisconsin. 24; a totnl of 334. In connection with these figures It will be noticed that the silver men lack but sixteen votes of having the necessary j two-thirds limit, but they claim that the eight votes counted for gold In Ohio will come to them after the temporary organization, while Michigan votes are also expected. It will further be noticed that Nebraska Is figured In the silver column and this Is because, while there is a contest, the sllvo^lpan say that they will see that the'gpjd standard men are not seated. It Is the security In this preponderance* of votes that mokes the silver men confident In ulti mate victory. The decision upon the abrogation of the two-thirds rule on nominations may be delayed until after temporary and permanent organization, and until Just as the convention Is about to nominate. Then, "unless the gold standard men recognize the superiority of numbers and succumb to the inevita ble. the silver men will for? the Issue and rescind the long standing rule. Hill .liny be Temporitry t'hnlrninii. The movement to make Senator IIIII temporary chairman has received a de cided impetus during the day and there Is good reason for believing that the ex ecutive committee of the national com mittee would be pleased to suggest his name If they felt that It would be ac cepted by the silver men. Members of the committee professes to believe that 11111 will be acceptable to the silver peo ple, because lie Is not regarded us an ad ministration man, though ranked with the gold forces. Many Impartial observers express the opinion that the senator will ho ulti mately accepted by all factions In order to make smooth sailing iit the beginning of the convention . The silver leaders hold out sillily, however, for a man of pronounced silver proclivities for pre siding ofilcer. Until uiiil llliiml. Governor Stone, of Missouri, was ask ed to-day If he had noted the report that the eastern gold standard delegates were tending towards Governor Boles. He answered that he had seen such a re port in the newspapers and had heard such talk In the lobbies, but knew noth ing as to Its truth. Continuing, the gov ernor said that Mr. Hlund and his friends had not expected and do not ex pert any support from that source. lie Maid: "Mr. Wand's stand is the personification of the free coinage Ideu. it Is utterly Impossible. In the very na ture of things, that there sl*>uld he any alliance between him and tin* single standard gold people. If he Is nomi nated, he will be nominated by the votes of dolegates elected as free silver coin ace men. 1 am sure Mr. Miami's nomination will be opposed to the ut most. and his defeat sought by every means possible by the gold power. One tlrf.ng more. The states represented here by the single gold standard dele gations will not probably east a single electoral vote for'the nominee of this convention. If Mr. island is nominated, he will be nominated by the delegates from the states whore electoral vote must he relied upon for Success ut the polls." The governor was usked if lie wan aware that two or thr??e gentlemen prominent In labor organlintlons were not partial to Mr. Wand's nomination. "nO the ground that ho has been the actlvo friend of labor?" "That lH a strango objection to make. II In whole life ha# been Identified with the Indus trial and producing classes of the country. IU* ban not played to the gal leries for mere effect, but his whole public career has been one long battle In favor of the people?of the great masses." i |*rmtoyrr'a (mnllducy. Ij. P. Mullln and John "Welch, dele gates from.Oregon, have opened head quarters nt fne Palmer house and nro grooming Hon. Blyveiter Pennoyor as a compromise candidate. They are hand ing out cards with a picture of Pennov er on one Bide and his record on the other. The record shows that he has al ways been successful before the people of Oregon, and whllo the state has al ways gone Republican, Ponnoyer. as a Democratic candidate for governor, has always carlcd It Ills latest success was In being elected mayor of Portland In a very hotly contested race. He Is also given the credit of being a very strong utntes rights man. At present Mullln and Welch are confining themselves to working upon the western delegates as they arrive, and are well.aatlsfled with their success. They say thot In case the Democrats should nominate pcnnoycr, there would not be the leust question as to his being endorsed by the Populists and silver men. They say that the idea of a Pacific coast candidate Is popular and that In going west distance should not count, If Teller Is to be considered a possibility. Pennoyer has always been elected as n Democrat, but he repudiated the party as represented by Cleveland nnd was Inclined to cast his lot with the Popu- ; lists of Oregon. Tn lk of a Straddle. The approach of the eastern gold standard men to-night seems to give prominence to rumors that would oth erwise be' set down as ridiculous, and yet there Is to be taken Into considera tion a fact that seems to weigh with the silver leaders, that Senator David B. Hill, ex-Secretary William C. Whit- ! ney, ex-Governor Russell, William F. Harrlty and Senator Smith form a po litical combination that for shrewd ness and knowledge of the way of man aging a seemingly lost cause, cannot be excelled: It was to the effect that the eastern ers had sent commissioners Into the Boles camp with offers of assistance to that candidate If. In return, the Boles people would modify, in some way, the financial plank so that, while declaring for bimetallism, it should not be so outspoken for silver. The Boles sup porters are highly Indignant over the rumor to-night and deny It strenuously. There are no easterners h*re at pres ent to either deny or aftlrm the story. RESENT WHITNEY COMING. Sllrrr Mm Indl^nniit ut IlirGotil Mfll'* Iiiltrfrrrurr. CHICAGO, Julys.?Some of the silver men manifest a disposition to resent the announced Intention of gold advocates who are not delegates to the convention to come to Chicago with the avowed In tention of Influencing the course "of proceedings. Voice wa3 given to this feeling by Senator Elect Money.of Miss issippi who said: "It Is on unheard of 'proceeding for men "like "Mr. Whitney and Mr. Eckels, who have no creden tials to a national convention, to attend it with the view of influencing the ac tion of delegates on a question of prin ciple. It hi of course usual for the friends of candidates to exert their In fluence upon delegates who believe as they do; but for men to come here us these men do to change the views of delegates who are Instructed on a line of policy is either a piece of arrogance or a piece of folly, Just as you choose to regard It. I say to tb~m that either one of two constructions is to be put upon their conduct: They either propose to buy men outright or they want to oth erwise Influence delegates to break faith with their constituents. Either policy will be rfcsented and I predict that the gold advocates who come to the convention without other excuse than that of exerting their Influence otS duly I elected delegates will meet with a very cool reception. The convention will be silver from core to cuticle and the trold 1 Intluence'cannot be used to change its j character." COUNTERFEIT GANO Ariritril ltr?l-llumlr?I In St. l.onl?t-Thrlr Tools <"aj?tnrc?l. ST. LOUIS. July 2.?At 1521 Pendle ton avenue, the house of Dr. Matilda Adella Walter, United States secret ser vice detectives, who for weeks have been working on the case, arrested a gang of live counterfeiters and captured a com plete set of tools. Those arxested, who have hitherto borne good characters, are Dr. "Walker, a regular pnctlclng female physician; Ralph and Walter Creeae. professional photographers; W. H. Jem inett, Dr. Walter's father, and Adam Miller, a fine appearing elderly gentle man. who asserts that lie Is a patient of the doctor's, being treated at her hospi tal, and had nothing to do with the coun terfeiting. There was also captured at the Pen dleton avenue house a complete counter felting apparatus, consisting of photo- : graphic engravings of a }20 bill, some of the bills, the copper plates and all the necessary paraphernalia for etching the plates. The prisoners were arraigned before United States Commissioner Gray. All pleaded not guilty. The cas- ; es \\#ore continued until Friday, the prisoners being held In $2,&00 ball each. AMALGAMATED SCALE Agrrrtl to ti>* tlir Mn iiii furl lire r?, bill tlir I Tin Pint* Lockout U Still In Korrr, PITTSBURG 11, July 2.?The Amnl- 1 gamated Asnoclatlon and Manufacturers committees went Into conference nt noon to-day to make another effort to settle tin* tin plate workers wage scales i for Ibis year. A fter a long session, .the conference finally adjourned to-night, | after the manufacturers had agreed to a scale which Is practically that of last year. While the scale was agreed to, none of the manufacturers would sign It as Individual nor as a committee. This leaves the tin plate lock-out still In ?force, and only modified by the agree ment giving each inanufanturor the op tion of signing or not ns he chooses. The outlook for a general signing Is not very rosy, although the workmen claim to be confident of ultimate -success. Two now signatures were received : this evening to the Amalgamated scale; 1 Detroit Steel Spring Co., and the Allan- I ta Steel & Tin Plate Co.

When tho noVunlon men left the works at 5 o'clock this afternoon there was rioting. Two hundred and fifty police men emerged from tho gates, guarding fifty-three workmen. An immense crowd had gathered a block away, but the police took a now route and eluded them for the moment. Tho strikers set up a yell and ran, soon overtaking the marching column, hooting and yelling. A huge moving-van was in the rear, filled with strikers, and with a small wagon laden with empty beer bottles. The police suspected that the bottles were Intended as missiles and compell ed the driver of the wagon to turn back. At WUUon avenue mid ICucild a rail road train blocked the way und an ef fort was made to drive the van through the guard of police. The officers drag ged to the ground the driver, Fred. W. J leal n, ;i moving contractor, and the man on the seat beside*hlm,W.J. O'Xell, a paving contractor. These men re sisted and the police used their clubs on them with such effect that, their heads were soon swollen with masses of cuts. O'Xeli's unkle was broken. The strikers in the van Jumped out and the police charged the crowd, using their clubs on all the heads within reach. Frank Coopenhelker, a machin ist, returning from work and not a stri ker. was caught In the crowd and se verely clubbed on the head. Hearn was arrested and locked up. The strikers dispersed before the onslaught of the police and the non-union were sent home. Tlir Trai*rilj*. (Meanwhile a tragedy had taken place at the Brown works. Albert 0.

As he turned up Hamilton street a knot of strikers saw hlrn and shouted ! to hlrn to stop. He did not obey and they began to throw stones and bricks I at him. A brick struck him on th?> head and knocked him off his wheel, and he claims that after he was down they continued to stone him. Rising to his knees he drew his revol- | ver and fired.

Patrolman Glblons heard the shot fired and rushing up. seized youni; Saunders and hurried hirn Into the of fice of the Hlshop-Habcock Company. In a wonderfully short space of time a furious crowd which packed the streets as far as the eye could reach, surged against the front of the ofllce, demand ing that Saunders be given up to It. .Some of them brought a rope and the cry to lynch him was raised. A few began to pry at the windows of the of fice, when Patrolman Gibbons, who was once a union workman, addressed i the mob and partly quieted It.

RICHMOND, Va., July 2.?Never be fore In Its history, not oven upon the occasion of the unveiling of tho I>oc monument In 1S90, has Richmond Been such a crowd within her limits as that which lias assembled here to-day be neath a perfect sky to witness the lay in* of the corner-stone of the monu ment to the memory of Jefferson Davis. It Is the last and greatest day of the sixth annuel re-union of the Confeder ate Veterans' Association, which has brought to Richmond altogether about 12,000 veterans, besides thousands of o^her visitors. To-day's exercises have added 20,000 visitors and young soldiers I to the vast throng. Last wight history repeated Itself In [ the scene which the capltol hall pre- J sented. A small army of grizzled men in Jackets of gray slept upon the green j sward around the old state house, with , coats for pillows and the grassy lawn for their beds. A full thousand spent , the night on the capltol grounds. The city Is very gaily decorated. Here and there on the streets faded and tat tered battle Hags, relics of the lost | cause, lloat like gaunt skeletons In the air. attracting constantly a surging crowd of men in gray around them. The formation of the parade began about 1 o'clock. Before noon the streets along the line of march were almost compleeelr blocked. I The Corner Stone T.ald. The corner stone of the monument to be erected in -Monroe Park to the mem- i ory of Jefferson Davis was laid this afternoon with ceremonies which were I Impressive and pathetic. ' Under a bright sun and sky, through densely i packed streets, and with the applause of countless thousands to cheer them on, the followers of the lost cause marched through the city which is deaier to the old Confederate than any other In the land. It was a sight to stir the enthusiasm of the most slug gish nature as with bands playing, companies moving and colors flying, the parade passed in review. Two hundred ""CMWren; boys and girls wearing wMte and red sashes followed the police who cleared the way and led the procession. The chief marshal. General Gordon, In civilian dress, looked a royal com mander us did Governor O'Ferrall. who rode with bared head. Mrs. Jefferson Davis was in an open carriage and bow ed and smiled as the cheers greeted her on every side. Th?? sponsors and maids of honor, chosen for their beauty from all the southern states, rode in carriages fol lowing that of Mrs. Davis. ' The military under command of Brig adier General Phillips represented the pick of southern soldiers. North Caro lina was llrst state to exhibit a tattered battle Hag and as It fluttered In Ihe breeze, it was greeted wLth great cheers. A Pathetic Picture. The veterans made the pathetic pic tun? of the parade. Nearly all are old and for the moat part weak and feeble, but summoning their remaining strength, they marched with pride and pleasure. A large number of diem car ried sticks for support, and many of them were compelled to use umbrellas In order to withstand the raj's of the sun. On the backs of the marchers were many bullet-torn confederate coats, old canteens and knap-sacks. Several dar kles, true to their old masters, marched with them In the parade, while two old confederates, who possibly had relieved tho monotony of camp life with musio in war times, carried their Addles and bows. It was a grand parade and a great spectacle, one not likely to be seen again for years. It was estimated that lii.000 men and children started In the parade, but a large number were affected by the heat and withdrew before they had marched many blocks. When the procession reached the park, the military formed a complete square around the mounds, preventing any but those In the parade from entering the enclosure. Tho grand lodge of Masons, escorted by the Knights Templars march to the park where the corner stone was laid with masonic ceremonies. Prayer was off-red by Rev. Dr. George G. Ray. At the elope of the masonic ex ercises, the Howitzers out or. the Lee monument grounds flred a salute of thirteen guns. Hon. J. Taylor Ellison, president of the Davis Monument Association, came forward and called on Bishop Pohnson C. Cranberry to offer prayer. General Stephen 1). Leo was Introduced as the orator of the occasion and made the address. The benediction closed the exercises. ___ SENSATIONAL SCENE.# Mlft? lillllan Ashler Shoot" at ?I,Hcky' {tnhtwln In a Court Room. HAN FRANCISCO. July 2.?Miss Lil lian Ashley, of Boston, whose case against 13. J.
