SALT LAKE, May 15.—The people of
Bait Laao were up early today to witness
th. opening of the silver conference
•bont which so much has been said dur
ing the past month. From the head of
Bast Temple street to Its foot in the bus.
ness district and on all the cross streets
In the section buildings were gaily deco
rated in the national colors, while from
every flagstaff wavea the Stars and Stripes
in honor of the great event. Inscriptions,
mottoes and divers other devices emblem
atic of the sentiments of silver champions
were also in evidence.
The procession left the Knusford hotel
■bout 11 o'clock, headed by the Denhal
ter band and a platooi of police. In the
Brst carriage were seated Governor West
of Utah, Governor Rickards of iMontana.
Governor McConnell of Idaho, and ex-
Governor Prince of New Mexico. The
procession reached the tabernacle about
noon, where a large crowd had already
assembled. iThe decoration of tbe taber
nacle presented a picturesque appear
ance. 1100 American flags and over 4000
yards of bunting having been used in the
decorations. From conspicuous parts
of the gallery hung the following mot
toes: "Financial Independence, "Our
Bong—Silver Thrjads Among the Gold,
' Sound Money Say the Goldbugs; Silver
Bay the People," "We want a circulating
medium that will circulate."
At V2:'M Governor Rickards called the
meeting to order and delivered the fol
lowing speech:
In the history of nations no great
wrong was ever righted save through tbe
concerted effort of earnest men. I have
faith enough in humanity to believe that
the natural patriotism of the heart is
equal to the duty of honest effort and
tireless action in the cause of right, when
tbe right is clearly understood. Misdi
rected activity in any cause that concerns
the welfare of the people advertises a
paternity of ignorance rather than a fath
erhood of malice.
We have met today, not as censors, pa
rading the causes of our discontent, her
alding to the world the bitterness we feel
over the injustice that has made our co
operation the necessity of the hour, but
as earnest men, representatives of a great
cause, and delegated to the performance
of a duty by a constituency whose inter
ests are environed only by the geograph
ical limit of the republic.
We have met as champions of honest
money—of money so honest that its pure
white luster is never tarnished by the tears
of tbe starving or rusted by the blood of
crime as it moves through the channels of
commerce in a current of perpetual hope.
We have met, not to appeal to tho pre
judices that may . cluster instinctively
•round the self-interests of any com
munity or people; not to weigh anchor
upon a sea of uncertainty, in the trade
winds of politics, but to institute a new
movement, along new Vines for tbe better
education of the masses on the financial
problems of the day*
In calling tbis conference and inviting
the co-operation of western governors in
an interstate educational;movement in
the interests of free coinage of silver, I
was impelled by the belief that in the
home circle of the American citizen lay
the destiny of the white metal; the time
has come when we must appeal not only
to tbe business sense of tbe voter, with
non-partisan logic, but we must reach
down into the moral activities of tho
'heart and ask individual conscience to
latand up and be counted on the side of
the right.
There never was a time in history when
.the moral side of a great question ap
pealed with a greater force to the intelli
gent voter today with the evils of mono
metallism emphasized in the misery tbat
afflicts our land.
The argument of tbe single standard
advocate has matured from a gilded
( theory into a condition that ought to ap
peal with irresistible force to the candid
observer of events.
It becomes our duty to supplement the
argument of smokeless smokestacks and
abandoned farms, of broken banks and
crushed commercial enterprises, with
incisive reasoning as to the solstice that
ushered in the "winter of our discon
tent."
Existing conditions, reflecting the mis
fortunes of the business world upon every
Shase of our industrial and social life,
aye stimulated a demand on the part of
the masses for a better knowledge of
financial propositions that self-interest
may be respected at the polls. In no way
can the interests of silver be better served
in the receptive condition of the public
Blind than through a systematic course
ot education that will reach the individual
intelligence in the sacred cricle of the
home.
The eminent gentlemen who represent
the several states in this conference have
been delegates with the respons bllity of
devising ways and means for the carrying
out of this object and that your labors
will prove an aggressive step' in a most
successful campaign of education, I doubt
not. Already the European wing of the
American republic is beating the air in
an effort tv retain its lotty perch. The
gold men of both continents read in the
signs of the times tho possibility of an
early defeat, ami ate bending their ener
gies to the annihilation nt the object of
their fears. All that literature can do;
•11 that oratory can accomplish; all that
fold can acnievc, will bo done to strangle
he growing sentiment for sliver. A
subsidized press, controlled by the linan
cal interests that thrive on tho misfor
tunes of the people, has cntefd with en
thusiasm upon the mission delegated to
it by .the custodians oi its conscience.
The lines of battlo have been formed by
tbe logic of events and tbe struggle for
reinforcements promises to be the greatest
contest in the history of modem times.
It remains to bo seen whether the blight
of monometallism that has withered
the energies of our industrial life, has
burnedjinto the heart and conscience of
the citizen and made him tho willing
pupil of nobler and beder lessons in
hrrance. In the tidal wave that is now
gathering strength all over the land for
the free coinage of silver I see tho avant
courier of better days to come. To plaoo
wbolesole financial literature in the hands
of the eastern voter becomes a duty that
overshadows eveiy obligation of a public
character that we owe io our fellow men.
The object of this conference is not to
devise arguments in favor of the free
coinage of the white metal,for such argu
ments are indelibly written upon the pro
gress and prosperity of the human race,
nut to place in tbo hands of the voter
these arguments fashioned into language
that tho wayfaring man can understand
and apply. If this mission bo accom
plished the victory is won.
In conferences of tins character no po
litical prejudices are invited and in its
non-partisanship rests the pledge of its
sincerity. We do not meet as Republi
can!, as Democrats or as Populists, but
as American citizens, zealous for the
right "as God gives us to see tbe right,"
and earnest in the advocacy of sound
made by tbe gold men has been discred
ited by the progress of events, an t every
prediction made by the silver men has
been verified in the colossal misfortunes
tbat have visited our land. Tbe logic ot
tbe situation demands a reversal of the
puulic judgment and it will come. The
masses of the people in the east are as
much interested in the revi-al of pros
perity as are the citizens of the west. To
secure their intelligent co-operation it is
only necessary to educate them as to the
cause of the hard times, and they will
seek with avidity the only cure within
tbe reach of mankind and help eliminate
fiom tbe financial system of our govern
ment the disastrous policy of monometal
lism. The fi Id for an educational cam
paign, conducted on broad and patriotic
grounds, is a most inviting one. To
make tbis campaign a successful cne is
merely to avail ourselves of the opportu
nities presented and dedicated to tho
mission of honest money our earnest and
unremitting efforts. It is unnecessary,
in this connection, for me to suggest
ways and means for laying before the
eastern voters the gospel of sound
finance. An interchange of views in tho
various committees to which much of the
practical work of this conference will be
delegated, will evolve methods and plans
most consistent with good results. Yet.
with the treasuries of Kuropo behind
them, with the best talent, that money
can employ, witli a subsidized press re
ailing opinion and manufacturing facts
for pay, the gold bugs are hampered by
the testimony of current events. The
movement to corner the gold output of
our intermountian region that another
issue of government bonds may be forced,
to replenish the outflow of money from
the treasury of the United States, has
raised the danger signal in every com
munity in the land. It proves the dan
gerous possibilities of monometallism
and verifies the suspicions that cling to
the skitts of its chief advocates and
champions. The aggressiveness of greed
tbat characterizes the campaign of the
monometaiiists. as contrasted with tbe
plans and purposes of bimetallists, car
ries within its activities the seeds of its
own defeat.
Differences ol opinion as to the value
of this policy "or that are blended into a
common cause of self-defense when the
treasury of the United States becomes an
object for speculation and the credit of
the nation is marked for plunder. In the
coming crisis. In the great struggle for
honest money—in carrying the flag of
bimetallism to tlie victory that awaits it
—we must be disciplined oy the exigencies
of the hour and proceed to outline our
work in a spirit of petfect harmony.
Governor West then delivered a happy
address of welcome, saying that all con
ditions were favorable to the silvor senti
ment iv this territory.

welcome on the part of the city.

Summary of the Events
Associated Press Special Wire.
NEW YORK,May I,"<.—The great Brook
lyn handicap was won by Hornpipe, a 110
to l shot.
The first real trial of the new racing law
was had today atGravesend and as far as
could lie seen it is likely to become pop
ular. The morning hours wero anything
but pleasant, for a cold wind blew across
the track. The air was raw and chilly
and the overcast sky made it seem as if
brain might fall at any moment. The
track was very muddy and there were
pools of water all over it. The clouds be
gan to break away at about 10 o'clock,
and there was plenty of blue sky by noon.
The bookmakers had plenty of work to
do, but tbey did not shout tho odds and
ihe betting was quietly done. From 1
o'clock until the start of the handicap bet
ting was in order, and l>r. Rice and
Ratnapo were about equal choices,though
it finally settled down with the latter as
iirst choice.
At 4 :M0 the bugle called the horses to
the post for tho big event and everybody
hurried to take his place to watch the
contest. As the horses cantered slowly
to the post each was heartiilv cheered.
Then but v few minutes elapsed before all
were at the starting point and all got
away,but the start was too straggling and
they had to go Duck. There was a little
more maneuvering and at exactly 4:45
Starter Rowe caught them in good line.
The Hag fell and i t was followed by the
well-known "They're off," and the great
opening race of the year was on.
Tbere was a general struggle to stand
for position, and the first quarter was
passed in tweniv-tive seconds, with As
signee making the pace, a nose In front
of Ed Kearney, who was three-fourths of
a length in front of Ramapo. he a length
ahead of Sir Walter ami Dr. Rice, with
Counter Tenor. Rubicon. Declare, Horn
pipe, Rey cl Santa Anita and Lazzarone
following, and Bassellaw a bad last, com
pletely out of the race.
At the three-furlong pole Assignee hart
a good lead of two lengths and was going
well, while Griffin was urging Ramapo to
keep him in front —a fatal error—as he |
could only keep a bead in front of Ed
Kearney, who was in turn a head in front
of Sir Walter, followed by Dr. Rice, whom
Taral was holding in his favorite fifth
place. Rubicon was in sixth place but
was not doing well, while Counter Tenor
was seventh. Then came Hornpipe, who
had moved up a peg. followed by Rey cl
Santa Anita.Declare.Lazzarone. on whom
tbat master judge of pace, Isaac Murphy,
was watching tho others like a cat and
Bassctlaw was hopelessly last.
At the half-mile pole, which was
readied in T>o seconds. Griffin had sent
his mount within half a length of the fly
ing leader, Assignee, who was half a
length in advance of Sir Walter, who
was a length uhead of Ed Kearne, tired
out with the effort. Then Dr. Rico witb
Taral sitting quietly wniting for the last
struggle, and Counter Tenor next. Mur
phy urged Lazzarone into seventh place,
a little ahead of Hornpipe,while Rubicon
was next and beginning to quit. Rey el
Santa Anita was doing well In tbe tenth
place and Declare had joined Bussetlaw in
the struggle for last place, with nothing
more left in him. Un the *ay to the five
furlong pole there was a quick shifting
of positions and Ramapo tumbled back
to tbo sixth place out of the contest, ap
parently, as he had shot his bolt trying
to keep up with the leader. Sir Walter
took lirst place by a head from Assignee,
with Ed Kearney in third place, Dr.
j Rice fourth. Taral still holding him well.
I Counter Tenor, fifth. Hornpipe next.
Rubicon, Rev el Santa Anita and the j
others following.
Then Ed Kearney stumbled anur was
out of tlie race altogether, Perm pulling
him up and cantering home slowly. The
three-quarters was reached in 1:17, ami
the great Ramapo had joined Declare,
Basscilaw and Rubicon, all having had
enough of it. Sir Walter was still in the
lead and had half a length the best of
Lazzarone, whom Murphy had sent
through the Held like a flash, suddenly
becoming n dangerous competitor. The
pair wero three lengths ahead of Horn
pipe, on whom Hamilton had moved up
us ho saw be had something else besides
Dr. Rice and Sir Walter to beat. Counter
Tenor had moved into fourth place and
still Taral made no sign on Dr. Rice, who
was going well in fifth place. Rey el
Santa Anita was close behind i him with i
Assignee in seventh place. Tho turn was |
in sight and the seven-furlong pole at
hand. Doggett was working hard to
hold his lead with Sir Walter. Taral was
now trying to get Dr. Bice to the front,
but it was of no avail, for lie lacked the
speed and could only keep his head in
front of Rev el Santa Anita, the latter a
very dangerous horse.
Tho mile post at tlie head of the stretch
was reached in tlie slow time of 1:45.
As the horses were straightened out for
the final effort there were only six horses
in the race. Sir Walter still had tne lead
by half a length but Doggett had to go to
tho whip and spur to keep him there.
Lazzarone l ad a bead tho better of Horn
pipe, us Murphy bad stolen up on Ham
ilton, and was riding like a tnatser of his
art. Counter Tenor with Lumley urging
hard, was fourth while Taral could not
set Dr. Bice any higher in the line, with
Key cl Santa "Anita gaining on him
under Bergen's urging, while the others
were hopelessly out of it. Down through
I the stretcli the raco was rushed, every
| jockey working his hardest to win what
only one could. Doggott felt Sir Walter
falter undor him and only worked tho
harder to make the little horse do his
utmost, but it was no use. Murphy got
uft.hl,, a ,i,,.i l.i in af flic lust liirhim*
within a neck ol linn at tne last luriong
post, while Hornpipe was only a short
head behind. Thu others had not
changed places, but they were beaten
nevertheless and only three were left to
battle for tbe $10,000 prise. Inch by inch
Lazzarone crept past Sir Walter and as ho
did so Hamilton came up with Hornpipe
and to Murphy's surprise began to pass
him. Both jockeys were working as hard
as they knew how, but Murphy saw
Hamilton had tbe better horse under
him and bad to rest content witli second
place uy half a length, while he was three
lengths in front of tbe nearly exhausted
Sir Walter, he a length in front of Counter
Tenor, followed closely by Key el. Santa
Anita, Declare. Dr. Bice, lttibicon, As
signee. Bassetlaw and Ramapo. with lid
Kearney a quarter uf a mile behind. The

him und lield him there to the straight

in tho hollowest possible stylo, two
lengths from Wernbcrg.
The Expectation slakes was the third
race on the programme ami brought out
a held of seven starters, with Belmont's
filly Floretta as a strong lavorite. Tho
flag fell quickly to n good start and Flo
r.-tta jumped at once in the lead, in a

AT THE STATE UNIVERSITY
The Commencement Exercises H4d at
Berkeley
A o>eat Crowd of People Witness the Oradu
atlon of One Hundred and Twelve
Pupils — Addresses
BERKELEY. May 15.—The commence
ment exercises of the University of Cali
fornia were held this afternoon and so
great was tho crowd that overy available
bit of space both up and down stairs
was occupied and a large number of peo
ple were unable to enter. One hundred
and twelve graduates of the academic de
partments received their diplomas, as did
thirty-five graduates of the Hastings law
college. It was the first time'in'the bis
tory of tlie university that one of the
classes of the professional colleges was
graduated with the Berkeley student*.
President Kellogg sketched briefly tbe
record of the university for the last year,
showing that it h»d grown so fast that
its own prosperity hau been its most
serious misfortune. The number of
students in tho entire university is 1800,
but there are not enough accommodations
for all. He urged the wealthy people of
California to endow scholarships and fel
lowships in their university.
Miss Katherine Felton, to whom the
medal for distinguished scholarship had
been awarded, declined to accept the
token on account of conscientious
scruples. This is the third time the win
ner has refused to accept the medal.
THE APACHE OUTBREAK
For Months the Renegades Have Been Buy
ing Ouns and Ball
WILCOX, Ariz., May Ift. —It was
learned today from the driver of the
mail stage between Sdn Carlos and the
abandoned post. Fort Thomas, that rene
gade Apaches had a scrap with Indians
on the reservation, killing one squaw
and injuring several others and carrying
one away.
Later accounts would indicate that tho
renegade "Kid" ha I a hand in the fray,
as he has a mania for taking a new
squaw each time he returns to the reser
vation. After the disturbance ho left the
reservation, traveling southward, and v
detachment of cavalry under command
of Lieutenant Hurtmnn and the Indian
police ate in close pursuit.
It is not generally known that for the
past six months all spare cash has been
invested in ammunition by the Indians,
which preparation is significant of dis
satisfaction arisen over insufficient ra
tions. Settlers are fortifying themselves
and stocking up with arms and ammuni
tion.

of John Barbeau. for tiie murder of Ber
na d Marki of Conlterville last July, was

States grand jury today. They took the
vessel in question out of Oakland creek
