Resolutions Adopted by the Free Coinage, Democrat at Washington. Washington, Aug. la Tho silver democrats continued their conferenco at the Metropolitan,hotel at 10 o'clock yesterday. The committco on resolu tions and programme being unable to report when tha meeting was first called to order, it was suggested that the conferenco should listen to speeches by those present. C F. Coch rane, editor of tho St. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette, addressed tho conference. He said it seemed anomalous that a meeting such as the present should bo called, for ho knew of no doctrine of the party which was not in consonance with tho purposes of this conference. Representative Nelll, of Arkansas; ex-Representative Fithian, of Illinois; Representatlvo Livingston, of Georgia; Col. Casey Young of Mem phis, and ex-Reprcscntativo Turner,. of New York; Senator Call, A. A. Lips combe, Representative Jones, of Vir ginia; Mr. Bodino and J. M. Hall, of Missouri, also made addresses. It was almost IS o'clock when the committee on resolutions filed Into the conferenco room and Senator Daniel was recognized to raako tho report of the committee's proceedings. This was divided into two sections, one con sisting of an address to democrats and tho other of the plan of organi zation. Tho address was read by Gov. Stone, of Missouri. It dis claims speaking with party authority, tho assemblage being a voluntary one, but strongly represents tho opinion of the conference, that the party should declare for free coinage of silver. It concludes as follows: Duty to the peoplo requires that tho party of the peoplo continue tho battle for bimetallism until Its efforts are crowned with success; therefore be It Kesolvcd, That the democratic party In na tional convention assembled, should demand tho tree and unlimited coinage of silver and gold Into primary or redemption money at tho ratio of 18 to 1 without waiting for tho notion or approval ot any other nation. Itcsolvcd, second. That It should declare Its Irrevocable opposition to tho substitution for a tnetalllo money of a panic brooding, corpora tion creating currency, based on a single metal, the supply of which Is so limited that It can be cornered at any time by a few banking institu tions In Europo and America. Kesolvcd. thlfJ. That it should declare Us opposition to the policy and practlco of sur rendering to tho holders of the obligations of tho United States the option reservej by tho law to redeeming such obligation either In silver coin or gold cola Itcsolvcd, fourth. That It should doclaro Its opposition to the Issuing of Interest-bearing bonds ot tho United States In time of peace and especially to placing the treasury of the government under the control of any syndicate of bankers and the Issuance of bonds to bo sold by them at an enormous profit for the purpose of supplying the federal treasury with gold to maintain the policy of gold monometallism. With a view to securing the adherence to and re-adoption of the democratic financial policy, above set forth by the democratic national convention to bo assembled In 1893 and ot the nomination ot a candidate for tho presi dency well known to be In hearty sympathy therewith, we hereby pledge our mutual co-operation and ur gently recommend to our democratic brethren In all tho states to at once begin and vigorous ly and systematically prosocuto the work of a thorough organization, and to this end tho adoption of the plan of organization herewith submitted Is recommended. The part of tho report dealing with the plan of organization was read by ox-Senator Jarvis, of North Carolina, as follows: Believing that a large majority of the demo cratic voters of the United States are In har mony with tho sentiments expressed In tho foregoing address, and knowing that a full and free expression ot their views can only be as certained and made effective through proper organized efforts, we recommend the following as a plan of such organization: First There shall bo a national committee of democrats who are In favor ot both silver and gold as tho money ot the constitution, which shall be composed ot ono democrat from each state and territory and tho District ot Colum bia and tho executive committee hereinafter provided for. Second That until otherwise ordered by tho national committco. Senators Isham O Harris, ot Tennesseo. James It. Jones, of Arkansas, and David Turple, of Indiana, and lions. W. J. Stone, of Missouri; W. H. MnrUlucn, of Illinois, and Casey Young, of Tennessee, be, and they are hereby constituted, tho cxccutlvo committee, and shall have full power and au thority, and It shall be their duty at as early a day as possible to appoint tho members of tho national cammlttco herein provided for and to nil vacancies In the same. Third That said national committee shall have full control and direction of tho patriotic effort ot tho bimetallic democracy of the na tion to secure In the next national democratic convention tho maintenance ot the time-honored principles and policies of the democratic party, and when the national committee hero in provided for Is not In session the executlvo committee shall havn all the authority and dis charge all tho duties hereby conferred upon the national committee. Fourth It shall be the duty of the members ot the national committee from each state Im mediately after his appointment to talio such steps as he may deem best to organize tho bi metallic forces of his stato, and It Is earnestly recommended that In each county and election precinct ot each state bimetallic democratic clubs bo organized, and for this purpose he may nppotnt such committees and subcommit tees and canvassers as he may deem best. Fifth That, fully realizing tho fact that this nor any other plan ot organization oannot bo successful without tho hearty "co-operation of tho voters themselves, we urge upon every voter In every stato In the union, who Is In sympathy with this movemont. and who wishes torcstoro permanent prosperity to his homo and country, to lend his aid and Influence to perfecting this organization, and that each of them shall enroll himself In somo club. Tho rcpqrt of the committco was adopted without opposition, and, after listening to some speeches, tho confor enco adjourned slno die. Wheat In Three States. Kansas Citv, Mo., Aug. 10.

Ills Office as Minister to Mexico Has Ileon rracttcally Declared Vacant. Washington, Aug. 17. The office of minister to Mexico was practically de clared vacant yesterday and Hon. Matt W. Ransom is no longer a minis ter from tho United States to our sis ter republic. The decision was ren dered by Holmes Conrad, solicitor general of the United States, and act ing attorney-general. Mr. Ransom's Incumbency was declared to bo con trary to the federal constitution and the acting attorney-general sustained tho action of Thomas Holcomb, auditor of the treasury for tho stato depart ment, in declining to pass favorably upon Mr. Ransom's vouchers for salary and expenses. The decision of tho acting attorney general was based on a question raised by Auditor Holcomb as to the legality of Mr. Ransom's appointment in "view of the existence of section 2, urticle 0, of the constitution, which declares that no senator or representatlvo, dur ing the time for which he is elected bo appointed to any civil office under tho authority of the United States, which shall have been created, tho emoluments whereof shall bo increased during such time. This provision ap parently fitted the case of Mr. Ran som, for ho was nominated by Presi dent Cleveland and confirmed by tho senato before his term as senator had expired, and during that term tho salary of the Mexican mission had been Increased 85,000 a year. A SHIP FIRED ON., A Venezuelan Uunboat ltends the Sails of a IlrltUli Vessel. Nr.w York, Aug. 17. Advices from Barbadocs, under date of July 29, site that .breaches of international law, like filibustering expeditions, seem to be on the increase in the Carribean sea, Tho latest, as well as tho ono likely to attract considerable atten tion, is tho firing upon a British schoon er in British water by a Venezuelan gunboat. The schooner Ellen, which is owned and sailed by Capt. Truxillo, a British citizen, and registered at Trinidad, passed under the muzzle of a Venezuelan gunboat and though tho captain sent the British flag to his miz zenmast head, tho Venezuelans simply ignored it and continued their firing, rending tho sails, of the British ves sel in several places, and declined to cease firing until tho British ves sel had been hove to and allowed tho Venezuelan cruiser to como alongside. Capt. Truxillo reported as above to the harbor master at Port au Spain. Ho was asked to make a sworn declaration of tho facts as stated, which ho Imme diately did. Tho Trinidad govern ment has reported the matter to the colonial office in London and the out come is anxiously awaited. WERE PAID IN SILVER. Secretary Morton Orders White Metal CSlv- en to Men Who Favor bllver Coinage. Washington, Aug. 17. Secretary Morton, of tho department of agricul ture, gavo what ho regarded as an ob ject lesson to tho employes of his de partment Thursday afternoon. Ho heard arguments by many of his sub ordinates in favor of silver. Thursday being tho semi-monthly pay day, he or dered the paymaster of the depart ment to pay out SI, 000 In silver coin, this money weighing sixty pounds. Tho silver coin was paid to all tho em ployes about tho grounds of the agri cultural department, to messengers and well known silveritcs in vari ous positions in the department. Unless Mr. Morton receives a petition to tho contrary, It Is ex pected that silver will bo paid out again and again on pay day to the men who aro known to favor it as currency. There was a good deal of kicking among the employes, and a good many of them have indicated to tho pay master that they want paper money on thoir next pay day. TREASURY CONDITION. Officials Ilopefnl Over the EncouraRlnjr Aspect of Foreign Kxclmnge. Washington, Aug. 17. Late yester day afternoon tho treasury officials were advised from New York that $300, 000 in gold had been withdrawn for ex port, which left the gold reserve at tho closo of business S103,151,9GS. The treasury officials wero agreeably surprised at the smallness of yester day's withdrawals and this, added to tho reduction of foro ign exchange and the reported abundan ce of foreign bills now on the market, gives a hope ful aspect to tho situation. Indeed the opinion is freely expressed that tho worst is over and that there will bo few, if any more heavy shipments dur ing this month. FOR CURRENCY REFORM.

THE TRADE OUTLOOK. Dan "Co. Report the Shrinkage of Busi ness In Ancnst Kather Connplmioas. Now Yokk, Aug. 17. R. O. Dunn & 3o., In their weekly review of trade, iay: It is a belated season; a frost may et everything back. Tho heavy busi ness which ought to have been done In May and Juno was pushed in July, so that the midsummer decline due in July comes in August. With this In mind, one is not surprised to find the shrinkage from July to August rather more conspicuous than nsual. The disappointing crop reports of a week ago, though evidently dis trusted, lessen confidence in regard to the future of trade, even while some speculators gain by them. Back of all doubts Is tho fact that the industries aro doing better than anybody could have expected. Atlantic exports for tho week have been 889,301 bushels, against 2,749,535 bushels last year, flour included, and for three weeks, 2,552,880 bushels, against 8,212,082 bushels last year. The official reports for July show exports of 8,011,000 bushels, flour included, against 10,800,000 bushels last ycar.but tho Pacific exports increased five-fold, at an avcrago of 57 cents per bushel, while Atlantic exports at about 72 cents per bushel were but 0,022,803 bushels, flour included, against 10,205, 500 last year. Failures for the week have been 190 in tho United States, against 229 last year. TO MAKE GOOD FARMERS. President Htlckney, of the Maple Lour, Fig uring on a Unique l'rojert Sioux City, la., Aug. 17. President Stlckncy, of the Chicago Great Western road, proposes to open a number of preparatory agricultural academics in which tho farmers' boys may secure short courses of instruction in the com mon branches along Jlnes which will inspire them with ambition to enter agricultural college. Even if the boys never get further than the preparatory school, they will bo better farmers, he thinks, than If they had no training. He does not go into the undertaking as a charity, but on purely business prin ciples. If tho boys become better farmers, they will do more business, ship moro products, havo moro money and buy more goods and will be corre spondingly useful to the road. Tho price of tuition will bo small, but will be made sufficient to pay the expenses of the academics. Tho managers of tho agricultural college encourage tho plan, and tho probabilities arc that a start will bo made in tho courso of another year. JAPAN, STORM SWEPT. Hurricanes and Floods Canso an Awful Loss of Life and Property. San Fkancisco, Aug. 17. Advices havo been received from the Orient to tho effect that Japan was visited by a terrible storm on July 24 and 20. The hurricanes swept across Kiusha, passed along tho shores of the island sea, crossed over tho central districts of the main island and merged into the Pacific ocean. Its track was everywhere marked by great loss of life and destruction pi property, and as tho catastrophe was followed by a heavy rainstorm, inunda tions added their devastating effort! to the havoc wrought by the wind. It iscalculatcd that over 1,000 people were killed or drowned. Ujina, the town that served as a military basis during the recent war, felt the full force ol the tempest. The place was completely twamped by the sea, and over 100 boats were smashed. Among these boats were 120 belonging to the army stores' department. They wero laden with supplies destined for tho use of troops in the Lio Tung peninsula'. FAMOUS ARTIST KILLED. Dle.1 In a Heroic Effort to Rave tho 1.1ft of a Little Girl. Philadelphia, Aug. 10.

The sacrifice of Mr. Hovenden's life was useless, because the child that he attempted to save also met her death beneath the wheels of the engine that ground out tho life of tho artist. Thomas Hovcnden was ono of tho leading artists that America has pro duced. His best known painting, "Breaking Home Ties," has been en graved probably moro than tho work of any other American artist and is a familiar object on tho walls of thou sands of homes in tho United States, Tho painting was one of the most able of tho groups at tho world's fair.
