NEBRASKA'S SILVER LEAGUE.
Organized by Men of All Parties in the
State.
LINCOLN, Nebb., Dec. 14.— About fifty
men of all parties, from various parts of
the State, met here to-day and organized
the Nebraska Silver League. The object
of this organization is to wage a decisive
campaign in the primaries of the four
parties and to nominate candidates in
favor of the free coinage of silver. An ex
ecutive committee, consisting of Governor
Silas A. Holcomb (Pop.), ex-Congressman
W. J. Bryan (D.), ex-Congressman G. L,
Law (R.) and W. H. Hardin (Pro.), was
appointed. County organizations will be
formed in all parts of the State.
GOVERNOR BRADLEY' S AM BITIVIf.
Republican* of Kentucky Will Support
Him for President.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Dec. 14.— A special
to the Post from Frankfort, Ky., says:
Governor Bradley is a candidate for Presi
dent. It seems 10 be settled beyond ques
tion that he wiil be indorsed by Kentucky
Republicans and missionaries who go to
Washington and make the reports to
Southern and neighboring Northern States
in his behalf. Bradley fills the field with
extraordinary prestige, and his managers
are counting on the support of six or Der
haps seven States to start with. But one
local complication has beset Bradley so
far. and that is the candidacy of H. Clay
Evans of .Tennessee for Vice-President.
Should McKinley fail of the nomination
it is believed that Bradley, owing to
neighborly relations, would fall heir to a
majority at least of the votes of Ohio.
MILES A.T FORT MOXROE.
The Commanding General Inspected the
/school and Pott.
FORT MONROE, Va., Dec. General
Miles passed a busy day inspecting the
artillery school and post. He was sta
tioned here - thirty ; years : ago and is thor
oughly familiar with its resources. Ad
miral George Brown, commanding the
Norfolk Navy-yard, accompanied by, his
staff and a number of officers and ladies
from the yards, arrived here at 3 P. M.
and called on General and Mrs. Miles at
the Hygeia Hotel. A salute . was i fired
from the fort in honor of the visit.' At 4
p. m. the troops -> were : formed on. the
parade-ground for inspection and review,'
which was - followed 'by . a ■ reception to ,
General and Mrs. Miles at Colonel Banks'
quarters. This was attended by Admiral
Brown and staff and the officers of the
cruiser Olympia, the officers and ladies of
the garrison and distinguished citizens
from this section. General Miles will re
main here until Monday.
VURXED BY HOT METAL.
Serious Accident in a foundry That May
t <iimc I>eatH.
NORTHAMPTON, Mass., Dec. 14.— A
serious accident occurred at the Norwood
Engineering Company's works at 6 o'clock
to-night. While the worKmen were "pour
ing off" in the foundry and had 4500
pounds of melted iron in the heavy ladle,
they lost control of it and the hot i/on ran
out on the men who were workinc it.
Thfee were severely burned — William
Driscoll, William Flaherty and John Lap
ping. Flaherty's condition is serious. All
were taken to the hospital.
COLORAItO STOCKS WEAKEXED.
millions of Shares Sold During the Past
Heck.
DENVER, Colo., Dec. 14.— Stocks weak
ened along the entire line to-day under a
continued desire of many small holders to
unload their holding?. The quotations at
the close of the week, however, show a
general though slight advance over last
week's list. The brokers report a great
amount of inquiries from the East with a
few orders mostly for the high-priced
stocks. The local buying far exceeds the
total from without.
It is impossible to obtain an authentic
estimate of the total sales of the week;
probably 7,000,000 shares will be a con
servative aggregate.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Dec. 14.—
The weakness of yesterday's stock market
was reflected to only a small extent in to
day's trading. The list as a rule main
tained a firmer tone. The attempt to bear
Consolidated was shortlived, all the stock
being quickly absorbed by anxious buyers.
The decline in value is due solely to
manipulation by a large holder. The total
sales tor the week in this city were 11,
--000,000 shares, representing a cash value of
nearly $700,000.
MR. BAYARD MAY RESIGN.
It Is Expected That the Embas
sador Will Not Permit
Censure. /
Only Another Object Lesson for Dip
lomats and a Warning to Curb
Their Speech Abroad.
CHICAGO. 111., Dec 14.— A Washing
ton special to a morning paper says:
There is a strong belief here that Em
bassador Bayard will tender his resigna
tion to the President. Even the unfortu
nate diplomat's friends agree that this is
the best thing he can do. The action
of the House of Representatives in re
ferring the Barrett resolution to the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs virtually
amounted to a vote of censure upon Bay
ard, and it would be extraordinary fora
foreign Minister to retain office after such
an expression of lark of confidence by the
popular branch of the Legislature.
Members of the Foreign Affairs commit
tees of both houses hold the opinion that
Bayard will ultimately resign. He is a
proud, high-spirited man, and though he
doubtless ascribes the actions of the House
to an excess of party zeal and bitterness,
he will not be able to escape the fact that
he is discredited as few men have ever
been in the role of diplomatic
tion of this Government. With any one
but Bayard this vote of lack of confidence
would be likely to impair his status at the
court to which he is accredited, but Bay
ard is very popular in London, where he
is looked upon as the representative of the
best there is among American people.
A prominent Republican member of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee said
yesterday it was a pity to see such a great
and honorable career clouded by an indis
cretion, such as that of which Bayard is
clearly guilty. "It is another object lesson
to diplomats the world over," he added.
"All that Bayard said on that occasion he
might have said in this country without
giving offense to any one. Gentlemen in
the diplomatic service must learn that
they have not the same right to free speech
that other men enjoy. lam very sorry
for Bayard, but his offense i 3 great to
pass unnoticed." «
CALL OF THE POPULISTS
The National Committee to Meet
and Select a Conven
tion Site.
There Are Yet Two Secretaries of the
Party, Owing to the Trouble
at Omaha.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Dec. 14.—Chair
man Taubeneck of the National Committee
of the People's party was here to-day, and,
with Treasurer Rabkin, authorized the
publication of the following cali:
"At the direction of the executive com
mittee of the People's party, we hereby
call a meetine of the National Committee,
to be held at theLindell Hotel in St. Louis,
January 7, 1896, at 10 o'clock a. m., to fix
the time and place for holding the Na
tional Convention and to transact other
business. It is desirable that we have a
full representation, and we kindly request
all to be present."
There are two secretaries, owing to the
trouble at the Omaha convention, when
the Farmers' Alliance and Knights of La
bor each demanded the place. J. H. Tur
ner represents the Alliance and S. J. Mc-
Parlin the Knights of Labor. At present
the cities which have asked for the conven
tion are Milwaukee, Minneapolis, St.
Louis, Dallas and Atlanta, although the
latter has not made a strong bid. The
committeemen are understood to favor an""
early convention, perhaps as early as
February.
Pullman and the Cuban*.
CHICAGO, 111., Dec. 14.— When shown
a dispatch to-day from Key West,
Fla., stating that a Madrid newspaper
charged him with assisting the Cuban in
surgents financially, George M. Pullman
said there was no truth in it. It was al
leged that while in Paris Mr. Pullman
had met Cespedes, a Cuban chief, and nad
agreed to aid the insurgents, in return for
which he was to receive valuable conces
sions in Cuba in case the rebels were vic
torious. Mr. Pullman sa.d that he had
not been in Paris in seven years and did
not know Cespedes.

REPRESSION OF SOCIALISTS.
Fifty-six Convictions for the Offense of
Lese Majeste Within Three
Months.
BERLIN, Germany, Dec. 14.— The cham
ber of the Reichstag was almost empty to
day during the debate on the bill defining
and prohibiting illegal competition in
transactions on the Bourse, the members'
seats being almost deserted and the specta
tors' galleries about as meagerly filled.
The bill was finally referred to a commis
sion of the Chamber consisting of twenty
one members.
To-day's proceedings were -in marked
contrast to the perturbed atmosDhere per
vadinc the House while the Radicals and
Socialists attacked the Ministers in regard
to the Government's measures of repres
sion against socialists. The discussion of
these measures, which lasted four days,
showed how lamentably defective is the
debating power of the occupants of the
ministerial benches compared with that
of the members of the opposition. The
Conservative deputies remained almost
mute throughout the discussion, leaving
the Ministers to respond as best they
could to the brilliant and impassioned ora
tory of Herren Richter, Busel, Hauss
mann and other leaders of the Socialist and
Radical parties.
The remarks made by General Bronsart
yon Schellendorf, the Imperial Minister of
War, warning the Socialists that the army
had not forgotten the insults heaped upon
the head of its venerable leader in 1870
and declaring if the police failed to sup
press the Socialists the latter would find
the action of the army to be no child's
play, was felt even in Government circles
as an exhibition of coarse invective. The
character of the general's remarks, how
ever, enabled Herr riaussmann to char
acterize his speech as a tirade suited only
to excite applause in regimental mess
rooms and admiration in barrack-yards.
It was pitiable, too, to see how the Min
isters and their adherents sat stolidly in
their seats listening to Herr Bebel without
remonstrance as he soiled the memory of
Prince Bismarck in connection with the
Government's adoption of the former
Chancellor's policy against Socialists.
Among the many newspaper comments
upon this incident, the Boersen Zeitung
says, and justly, too: "Not one of the
long row of Ministers rose to retute Herr
Bebel's slanders and his wildest violations
of the truths of German history. Even
when he assails the Germans who have
written that history with their blood, it is
sorrowful to think that nobody on the
Government benches possesses the courage
or ability to cope with Herr Bebel in polit
ical combat."
Baron Marschall yon Bieberstein, the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, from whom
some response was expected, completely
ignored Herr Bebel's references to Prince
Bismarck, but promptly sprang to his feet
to defend Assessor WeihJen, a minor of
ficial in the Foreign Department, when
that gentleman's name was casually men
tioned in connection with the infamous
Herr Liest, formerly Chancellor of the
Caraeroons, in the scandals and outrages
which caused Liest's prosecution and dis
missal.
The Foreign Minister boiled over with
rage at the attack upon his subordinate,
but he allowed his old chief, Prince Bis
marck, to be stigmatized in the open
house as a forger of dispatches without
raising a word of protest.
Except in the case of the Conservative
press, the consensus of newspaper opinion
becomes more and more opposed to the
continuance of the repressive measures
against socialists. The Vorwaerts, a lead
ing socialist uaper, publishes a list of fifty
six convictions for the offense lese majeste
within the last three months, the persons
convicted including members of the Reich
stae, journalists and even comic singers
who have introdnced allusions to the
Kaiser in their songs. A number of these
convictions, and a still greater number of
charges, the paper says, arose from the ut
terance of alleged insulting comments
upon the Kaiser upon the streets in the
hearing of the police, and in many cases
informers in private life, actuated by per
sonal spite, have caused arrests upon real
or spurious charges.
The Vossische Zeitung says that under
such a system some degree of public sym
pathy is extended to socialists under the
convict'on that they ought to have fair
play. "If harsh measures are dealt out to
them for actions which are permitted to
other partisans," the Zeitung says, "the
right will soon seem to be on their side.
The agrarians and the anti-Semites have
aims not a jot less subversive than social
ism, and one law ought to be applied to
all."
In the meantime the Socialists are tre
mendously energetic under the stimulus
of prosecution, and their frequent mass
meetings are greatly crowded and im
mensely enthusiastic. In deference to the
law they have adopted a very noticeable
and ingenious innovation. Hitherto at
i>uch meetings cheers were proposed for
"international revolution and socialism."
Now they cheer for "international libera
tion," which is rather a distinction with
out a difference.
The Socialist members of the Reichstag
have submitted to the Chamber proposals
for the abolishment of the penal code
punishing the offense of lese majeste;
affirming the liberty of meeting; abro
gating the dictatorial powers of the Statt
haiter (Governor) of the Reichsland, and
universal suffrage. The.Conservatives op
posed the bill, but the Ministers an
nounced that they wouid promote a bill
for a similar class of suffrage as that in
vogue in Prussia.
Dr. Stoecker, formerly court chaplain',
celebrated his sixtieth birthday on
Wednesday, when he was the recipient of
ovations at two great public meetings. At
a Christian Socialist reunion Dr. Stoecker
told his admirers that if certain circles in
authority had not been blind his party
would have long ago vanquished the
Social Democrats of Berlin. He reminded
them that his party alone counted more
votes than the Socialists did. When they
first started the movement they cot 70,000
in Berlin alone. If Christian Socialism
ever should prevail, he said, it would be
the destruction of socialism and anarchism.
Prince Bismarck has informed the Em
peror that if his health permits he will at
tend the State banquet at the Schioss on
January 24.
The financial situation on the Christmas
holidays, which will extend from Decem
ber 22 to January 2, is more hopeful than
could possibly have been anticipated a
month ago. Confidence is returning, ana
it is expected that there will be a rise of
prices at the beginning of the new year,
especially in sound investments. At pres
ent even first-class stocks are considerably
below dividend-paying values.
Franslin Sinclair, hailing from Phila
delphia, was sentenced to-day in the Han
over Assizes to ten years' penal servitude
for robbing- the Hanover Reichsbank.
Dr. Leipzig, editor of the Kleine Journal,
has been sentenced to three months' con
finement in a fortress for challenging Dr.
Lowenstein to light a duel, and Richard
Skdwronnek. the playwright, has been con
demned to fourteen days' imprisonment
for carrying the challenge.
The American promoters of the fencing
club proposed by Charles de Kay, United
States Consul-General, are doubtful as to
their ability to obtain a sufficient number
of members to enable them to start on a
sound financial basis. They require 2000
marks ($500), which has not been secured
yet.
Misses Rose and Ottiiie Sutro of Balti

Residents of New York Who
Have No Use for
Ahlwardt.
MET IN ALLEN CHURCH.
Speakers Declare That There
Will Be No Sympathy for
Jew-Baiting.
PARKHURST'S POINTED LETTER.
The Frost at the Cooper-Union Meeting
Will Check the Visitor's
Blatancy.
NEW YORK, N. V., Dec. 14.— The Allen
Memorial Church, in Irvington street, was
crowded this afternoon by an audience
composed chiefly of Hebrews, who came to
attend the meeting to protest against Rec
tor Herman Ahlwardt. No address was
made in Hebrew or by one of that faith,
all the speakers being Christians. Dr.
Gabelein opened the meeting. He said
that those who were present had come to
this country at the invitation of its Gov
ernment.
"We are all American citizens," he said,
"and Herr Ahlwardt has no more right to
come here and persecute us than he has
the native-born American of Puritan an
cestry. We have the same rights here as
any other citizen, and the Americans will
not permit us to be assailed by this man.
They will not only refuse to hear him, but
you will see that other cities, now that
they know what he will say, will refuse to
permit him to come there and revile us."
Dr. North read a letter from Dr. Charles
Parkhurst, in which he said, among other
things:
"ft is a matter of deepest regret that I
am unable to attend the meeting, but I
shall take the privilege of so far contribut
ing to the occasion as to address you in
writing. I have no sympathy with Jew
baiting, and it is my hope that the cold
reception accorded to Dr. Ahlwardt at
Cooper Union last evening may have the
effect to repress and discourage his impu
dent blatancy. He has come to the wrong
country for that kind of propagandism.
It is part of the American idea to give
every man and every nation a fair chance.
While I differ in my religious views from
the Hebrews, I nevertheless can never for
get it is to them we owe the law. That
has been the stronghold of all subsequent
civilization, and it is the Hebrew patriarchs
and prophets we have to look to as the
source of divine revelations, and upon
which all later revelations have to rest."
The other speakers made short addresses
in much the same strain as that of Dr.
Gabelein, and, like the letter of Dr. Park
hurst, evoked much applause.
RELINQUISHED A.ZL CLAIMS.
Harry Baywnrd'n Father Will Sot Profit
by Mian Ging's Death.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mix.v., Dec. 14.-W.
W. Hayward, father of Harry Hayward,
has relinquished all claim to the $10,000
insurance on Catherine Ging's life, which
was assigned to him by his son. This
action is taken as an admission that Mr.
Hayward Sr. is convinced of his son's
guilt. Julia Ging, sister of the murdered
woman, has made a claim for the insur
ance money, but the insurance people will
probably contest payment on tbe ground
that the policies were assigned to
Hayward.
