WASHINGTON, May 23.— The na val demonstration at Kiel on the occa sion of the opening of the Baltic canal, according to the present programme, promises to eclipse anything of a like nature ever witnessed in Europe. A table prepared by the naval intelli gence office shows that in addition to numerous fleets of Germany there will participate in the naval parade no less than forty-five warships from foreign countries, representing every tyre f om the stately battleship to the little gun boat and torpedo cruiser. As might be expected, Great Britain easily takes the lead in tonnage, although • Italy will send one more ship, the British _ 'fleet numbering eight ships, while the Italians have nine. The British ves sels have a total tonnage of 69,310, as against 58,331 for the Italian ships. The British also have the largest ves sels, sending four monster lattlesrr.s, each of 14,450 tons, nearly 400 tons larger than our own l.ne battleships, or the Indiana class. They are armei with 13V 2 -inch guns, but two of the Italian ships exceed this battery, the aLauria and Doria carrying the largest guns afloat, of a caliber of seventeen inches. The British fleet will cons'st of the following ships: Battleships, Royal Sovereign, Empress of India, Repulse and Resolution; protected cruisers, Blenheim and Eellona, and torpedo vessels Speedy and Halcyon. The Italian fleet, next in strength, in-' eludes' the four battleships, Sardegni, Re Umbert, Ruggeiro di Lauria and .-•Andrea Doria; the protected cruisers, Strombolio and Etruria, and the tor pedo vessels Aretusa and Partenope, and the royal yacht Sovia. Next to Italy and third in the list in tonnage comes the United States with the armored cruiser New York and the cruisers Minneapolis, Columbia ■ and Marblehead, aggregating 25,039 tons. If Great Britain and Italy can boast the largest and most powerful ships, the United States can easily claim the championship in point of speed, for no foreign ship comes near the "'':yz PEERLESS MINNEAPOLIS, with her record' of 23.073 knots, even the fleetest torpedo vessel at the show, the Italian Aretusa, scoring but 20.7 --knots at her best. Russia stands No. 4 in the list of tonnage with three ships, the battleship Imperator Alexander 11., the coast defense ship Grozlastchi and' the armored cruiser Rurik, a total tonnage of 20.596. Of the great Euro pean naval powers France makes the worst showing, with only 18,798 tons, made up of .the battleship Roche, the protected cruiser. Surcouf, and' the twin-screw armored cruiser Dupuy . do Lome, celebrated for the great num ber, of unsuccessful trial trips she has made in '.he effort to make speed, and now only rated at 20 knots. Spain presses France closely with three ships, the battleship Pelayo, the armored cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa, and the protected cruiser Marquis de Ence naxla, having a total tonnage of 17,822. Austria has four ships with a tonnage of 13,890, including the armored cruiser Kaiserin and Konigln Maria Theresa, the protected cruisers Kaiser Franz Josef and Kaiserin Elizabeth, and the torpedo vessel Trabant, the smallest the parade, being of 530 tons. Swe den's representation will consist ;of three ships, the coast defense vessels Thulo and Gota and the gun vessel Edda. Norway sends two ./ships •of 1,693 tons in all, the Viking and Slochner. Rou mania is close -behind with two ships of 1,653 tons, the cruiser Elizabeta and the training vessel Mircoa Denmark will have two protected .cruisers In line, the Hekla and Geiser, total ton nage, 2,600, and Portugal and Turkey will have only one ship each, the for mer being the armored cruiser Vasco da. Gama, of 2,422 tons, and the latter the cruiser Heybot Nouma, of 1,960 tons. . PIRATICAL MOORS. --. _;,.-. • ■ __ — __ yy&jz ■- - Story. With Dime Novel Flavor From the Mediterranean.

PAUL Hearing; in Oregon r Short . Line Cases lii'K'uii nt Omaha. ... OMAHA, Neb., May/ 23.— When the short line hearing was resumed today, Oliver W. Mink, one of the short line receivers, was . placed on the . stand. He stated that in October, 1894, the receivers filed an answer to the peti tion of John Dillon, in which they re ported total receipts and net earnings to Aug. 31, 1894. He stated that they reported total coupons paid," as well as all features in connection with the ac counting. In that answer they stated that the result of operations warrant ed the payment of all first mortgage interest in default at that .time on the Utah Northern first mortgage and Oregon short line 6s. Under the or ders of Nov. 16, 1894, the interest cou pons were paid in part at' the offices o! the receivers in New „York, Boston, London and Amsterdam. The interest on coupons due Aug. 1, 1893,' has not been paid, or, rather, the Interest on the Interest, said Mr. Mink/ although the court had made an order, to that effect. He stated he had , considered the rules as to the division of ac- ' counts under discussion,^, and ] they were, in his .judgment, the , only rules that could- be made under existing circumstances. ,■. He stated that the letter in the ftrst instance tak ing up this matter! with the auditor had been written by him. He was asked if he could give the net surplus on the Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern system from Oct. 13, 1893, to March 1, 1895, after the deducting of all interest payments :to - the latter date, which he stated to be -$256, 722. 16. At this point the judge adjourned the hearing until May 29, at St. Paul. WHISKY TRUST MUDDLE. Sensation Is Sprung in Relation to • . Ai-i.ointment of .Receiver. ' : CHICAGO, May Application will be made to the United States circuit court tomorrow by Attorney Edwin Walker for the appointment ' of a re ceiver for the whisky trust in the bill filed by the Central Trust Company of New York to foreclose the . $8,000,000 mortgage. This is the suit brought by the holders of $8,000,000 of the bonds . and supposed to be the interest of ex-President Greenhut, Nelson Morris and others. Application will also be made for an injunction restraining the sale of any of , the trust's properties or distribution of any of its moneys.' Mr. Walker made a sensational announce ment in Judge Showalter's chambers today in the presence of the receiver of» the trust and the attorneys for the receiver, and of the, : reorganization committee. He asserted his intention of questioning, the jurisdiction of the court in the appointment of a receiver under the bill brought by Greenhut in . the name of Olmsted, arid other stock holders. "I not only desire r to' say,", said Mr. Walker, "that I shall raise the question of jurisdiction, but I de sire that the court make no other order or take further steps in ; this litigation until he ; hears me on the matter of jurisdiction. I am ready to present the subject to the court at any time he may T - set. I - should / like ito have It taken up ' tomorrow. I shall show ; to the court, and produce ample authorities, that there is no jurisdic tion over the matter by this court and that every order and : every "petition and suit growing out of the receiver ship is void." Judge Showalter said he could not possibly hear. any extended argument: for the next two weeks. The statement 1 made by Mr. Walker was called out in the proceeding before the court to grant an order permitting the receiver to - investigate j the books of Nelson Morris relative to the cattle feeding contract. The petition asking for the order; set' forth / that the re ceiver'had been sued by Morris for damages and that it was necessary to secure information from - the ■ books of accounts in order to fully answer-that suit, and that the receiver . desired in formation relative to the cattle feed ing seasons of the last, two years tinder the present contract.-. .":.'," AGAINST DEN NI^RYAN.; The Wcll-KnoTvn St: Panllte Loses in a Mining Suit. • - DENVER, Col., May. 23.— the suit over the Bassick mine at Quiruride, near Silver Cliff,, ; Judge -Riner; has found for the plaintiff, James Staples, and held that the defendant,' Dennis Ryan, of St. Paul, now: In possession, was not entitled; to hold the property. The mine formerly belonged to the Bassick Mining : company. The last year it was in - operation 'it _ produced over, $900,000. The stockholders became involved in a row among themselves, and the result was that in ISS7 . the property was sold under executions. The plaintiff in this'suit, James I Sta ples, claims the : property under one judgment, and/the defendant, . Ryan, now in possea.ion, '.'- under . another. Judge Riner's decision places the __ti tie in Staples', hands.- The mine is now under about 1,200 feet of water, and it is estimated that it will cost to "put the property in . operation 'between . $100,000 and $150,000.': The decision leaves the property still in : the ■ hand.3 l of ; Mr. • Ryan upon his filing a ; bond with the court, which will be done as soon as possible.

The aat providing for the purchase of silver bulllcm i and the issue of ; legal tender treasury notes in payment for it was passed on the 14th* day of July, 1890, and the purchasing clause of that : act was repealed Nov. 1, 1893. 'While it remained in force, United States treas ury notes were issued to the amount of $155,931,002, and there were many people who believed that this was ■ making a material and permanent "ad-; dition to the volume of our currency; but the official records show that dur ing the same time the net exports of gold " from this country amounted -to $103,419,491, so that the real . addition to our circulation accomplished by the issue of nearly $156,000,000 of new notes was about fifty-two and a half million dollars during a period of more j than three years. The mere J apprehension that the government would not be able to maintain the parity of the two ; metals under the policy inaugurated by that act, not only discredited the new treasury notes themselves, but the' ■ whole volume of our currency, and gold, went out about as fast as the new notes came in.

The first if act- ' established Is that the prices of articles ■ ' of food which are the products of the •' farms," gardens, . orchards , and' dairies" . of the country, were about 4 per cent ' higher than they were in the year 1860, i long before the silver legislation now- ] complained of; the second is, that the i • fall in prices of these farm products i since the year 1873 has-been much, less J than the. fall in the prices of the com- . modifies the' farmers have to buy; and the third | is. ;• that the reductions to prices have not been uniform, either;, as to .particular articles or groups "of articles, and therefore cannot be at- .. tributed to \ one and the same cause to the appreciation; of -gold; for in stance. The conclusion is . inevitable that various influences have operated. _ to produce „ these changes in ; prices, •" some affecting one group of articles and some another,' and doubtless some , affecting all, but to.-no one Influence - can the whole result be attributed. > Cotton and wheat are the commodities, most frequently referred to by those who contend that, the fall in prices is due to the appreciation of gold, but • there Is nothing whatever in the meth ods bf producing those articles, or in , transporting or selling them, or In the character of the money received . for : them, which would make the apprecia- j tion of . gold affect their ' prices more; _ than it would affect the prices of other commodities produced by our people. . In ; addition to the' various causes • which have more or less affected the prices of all articles, the prices of these j two j products \ have been j seriously af- ■'. fected by the enormous r increase in j j their production f since the "year 1872, which was the last crop^year precede, ing the legislation in regard 'to silver. '. The production of cotton in this coun- : ■ try in 1872-3 was 2,974,351 bales, contain ing ah average of 439 pounds" net" .weight, while the production sin 1893-4. was 7,549,817 bales," containing an aver age of! 474 pounds net weight, or an in crease{of nearly.; 200 -per cent in . this country alone, besides the great in "crease that has taken place in com peting countries; and in 1894-5 the pro-; duction here was much, larger, being nearly 10,000,000 bales. According to the statistics ,of the agricultural depart-; ment, the production of wheat in this country fin 1872 was . 249,997,100 . bushels, ' and in 1894, 460,267,416 bushels, or. nearly twice as much, and there has also been : an enormous increase -of production in competing countries. !'■_ - ..";.' ■_•■'; The one thing which has been less' affected by the changes in the relation "between supply, and demand, by im provements in the methods of "produc tion and distribution, and other in fluences which produce fluctuations in : prices of commodities generally, is; la ; bor, and it is by far the most important single source of income possessed . by our people/ a much larger amount be-* - ing expended every year in ; the - pay- . ment of wages' than for any other pur pose., '..r.':. •'■'-.''.". ..'. -Z--f -_r.;;-...'r .■■■-." y THE COST OF LABOR ■'■ ; in the manufacturing mechanical industries alone, during the census ; year 1889, was $2,283,216,529, which was nearly two and Z one-half times the ', value of all the wheat and cotton pro duced in this country; and if we add *to this the f, amounts : paid . for. farm ' : labor, ' f or } clerical . and other work in mercantile " establishments, for domes-. ' tic '■ service J and for work :on ■ railways of all kinds, on .water craft, "on streets and other Improvements in the cities, and yin , the | many other occupations which give employment to our people, we -would \ have' a : sum almost, if not' quits, . equal fto ; the"' value : of ; all . our agricultural .. products. I It ' is r evident,'; therefore, that if the alleged deprecia-^ tion of gold alone has caused a reduc tion, of prices, the wages of labor, _t,lW| greatest commodity "in the . . maiifet, should have fallen since 1873; butf« actly the reverse Is | true. The inyefe-4 tiga tions' of ' this subject rby ; the MfK committee _ covered a period : of fifty- " two years, and embraced all I the occu pation's .in '- which our people were fern t gaged, and the fact unanimously fenk-'er was that, although eighteen years had . elapsed 'since : the silver legislation, the : wages 'of ; labor r were . higher than in ; 1818 and : 1873.; : Wages were . found to be. nearly 61 per cent .higher, than in I860," which -was j thirteen years' beftjfe 1 the silver legislation, 1 and . more than 8 per cent higher than in 1873, when that legislation was adopted. The gold in use as j money j amounts |to $3,965,900,000,-, the full legal tender silver amounts to $3,435,800,000, and the' limited legal ten der silver amounts .to $619,900,000. The policy of, . maintaining, or rathen at . tempting to maintain the so-called dou ble standard never succeeded . In keep ing so large an . amount of full legal ' tender silver in circulation in the world ', as there is at this time, arid one of the principal ' reasons . for this ]is that : ths : . effect of the policy was to drive v first . the • coins of one { metal and then the : coins of the other into the ; coffers of the hoarders or into the melting pots, because they were undervalued .in the; coinage laws, and would not remain in use as money. yiZZf ■ ■■ f . OFFICIAL. : MONETARY STATISTICS show that "in the gold-standard coun tries of the world the stocks of money are much larger per capita than in the"' standard countries. Taking the large gold-standard countries and the large, silver-standard countries, it ap pears that in 1894 the stock of money in the United States was over $25 per cap ita, in the United Kingdom nearly $20, and in ' Germany . nearly , $19, while In Mexico the per capita was $4.71, In Rus sia and Finland $8.32, and in China $3.26. The gold-standard countries use large amounts of silver as money, . but the silver-standard countries use no. gold' as money, and cannot do so for the reasons , I ; have already endeavored to explain. One of the most effective ar guments made by the advocates of free coinage, ". in some parts; of the country, at least, Is that the people are in debt, and that- it risi the duty of the govern ment to relieve them by such . legisla tion as will enable them to procure cheap money for the -purpose of dis charging their obligations, and in sup port of this argument the : most exag gerated statements are made as to the depressed and suffering condition of our farm r wage-earners, rand other producing; classes. This argument . concedes that under the proposed sys tem of free coinage at the ration of 16 to -1; all the various kinds of currency. j in use by the people, including the ail- . ver dollar itself, would be worth Wfes '- than it is now, for, of course, if tfijs. .''. is not to be the result money would _j>e I no cheaper than It is now. ; I deny tjha.i " there, is any such thing as a distinct 1 "debtor class" in this country, tot,' while 'nearly, every one, owes . some , debts, ; large or small, nearly every one g ' has also some debts owing to him;' in 3 other words, he is both, debtor and creditor. The laboring people, as .a -; general rule, Owe very little at any one '■ time, while their employers are always "•.. Indebted to -them, because fyages are not paid, In advance; and besides, of them have small deposits in savings. . and other banks, in trust companies, In building associations, and large nriiiri- ' bers- of them have -their- lives.;' insu^d' * or the -benefit of their wives child- \ s reri, n and r consequently they are credit- 2 ors of the banks and the, insurance ,; companies. The savings-bank deposit ors in this country last year; numbered" 4,777,687, and the wives and children of the depositors who . depended upon these ' accumulated earnings for . the future support doubtless, ",' numbered •" 10,000,000 more. There were 1,925,310 de- : positors in the i national -banks last \ year, and 1,724,077 of them had deposits; of less than $1,000 each, while state and private banks arid loan and trust com panies held deposits for 1,436,638 people. . Our life insurance companies, to: say nothing of companies insuring prop-* - erty against loss by fire and otherwise, had 7,505,870 . policies outstanding last year, " upon . which the premiums • had" been paid, or were being paid, by the people, and : trie mutual benefit and as- r sessment companies had 3,478,000 mem bers. ,'i The building and loan associa tions had nearly 2,000,000 members, all 1 ';■ of whom had paid their money in as re- - quired-' by ; the rules of ' the body to ;. which they belonged Here, then, are . about 21,000,000 of our people,; generally j poor, -or - at least , people of moderate 1 means, who have given credit to these I great corporations and companies, arid' In' my opinion, it would be , A GRIEVOUS WRONG : , '.-■ --to adopt any policy which would de-" : prive them ;; of the legal right to de mand and receive just as good money as they parted ; with when they made, the deposits In the banks or paid the premiums on their insurance policies. ; --Mr. -President, but little- remains fOr me to, say before bringing these re- : marks to a conclusion. We have an. \ abundance of .money in this country for all" the purposes" of trade? and the; ■ disturbances and jj hard times • of , 1893 , arid 1894 were not caused by a scarcity or contraction of the currency, but by a contraction of credit . resulting from ■ a loss ; of confidence in the 'stability " and value of our currency. So far as, ' the mere volume of; our currency Is : , concerned, we had then and have now an ample supply for all necessary pur poses, but under the existing' system it is not \ properly distributed and : is. not sufficiently elastic to meet all the changing requirements of : business at ; \ different periods of the year. .' The. > United • States . should : go entirely : •'■ of the banking business by,: the wi.th-. drawal of its -arbitrary"- and v compel- , ■_, i sory \ issues of notes : and - afford; ' tj>e; ,, people an opportunity to supply their.;, own currency ; based upon their own ':; means and credit; thus enabling every • community to utilize its own ; resource's ',. .' ; when necessary and adjust the circu'l^-i, 1 tion from time to time to t the actual demands ;of legitimate commerce. Yin ■"] what way - this shall " be '.= accomplished^ ' is a auestlon; which has already r eii- 'f gaged serious attention' of the people; [■ and public ; authorities, : and _it will) no-.: doubt continue to be investigated: affd-i 'discussed until : a J plan |is _ formulatW ; which, If not perfect," will at least haye 0^ the merit of being a great improvementy upon _ the existing g system. ;"."

" There ; can be' no antagonis . tic ; interest, no prosperity in ; one"; sec tion at the expense of . another, but' we must . all , stand or \ fall together. * So believing, I ; have spoken : to : you 1 to day without' reservation •or exaggera jtion In behalf of tlmt policy which, in : :r."V--::-"" -.-..-" ' '■•:-'." : r ffyy'rZzf^^Zr. y, . *.-; s ' I . my, judgment, will most certainly pro- '-' mote r : the welfare and preserve : , the" credit and honor of our whole country. Lv At I ; the conclusion of Secretary Car lisle's address there was another noisy demonstration, ;, followed by cries for Congressman Josiah Patterson, of Memphis The congressman acknowl edged the compliment, congratulating the audience on the opportunity they I had enjoyed :to hear I the able "address jof the secretary of the treasury, thank- - ing the 1 distinguished r guest for the , Y favvor erred.- On motion of Con !gressman Patterson r the committee i convention I . adjourned until .8 \ o'clock \ ■ this . evening. > ,". -', z-J\}\.i Hu_\; ; y . .-'.'. When the convention reassembled at 8 p. m., Judge U. M. Rose, chairman of the resolution committee, .presented the following report, which was unani ! mously adopted .without debate: y ';,.' The j people [of the § Southern states .believing: the maintenance of a sound and stable currency to be essential to the . prosperity of the : whole country and welfare of the people in all the vo cations "of life, do, through their repre sentatives in convention assembled at Memphis, on May 23, 1895, make the fol lowing declaration of their mature con victions: -ff'. .r,:7 -;:■;"■;'■ '■ CONVENTION PLATFORM." • First— Believing a uniform arid cer tain standard of value necessary ; ; to the agricultural, commercial and in dustrial I development and t prosperity . of our common country, we favor the . maintenance of all our money, whether gold, silver or paper, on a" parity, to the end that each dollar, whatever its com position, shall have equal purchasing and debt-paying power with every other dollar. ... Vf ■'>'. [.7 y- : )-■_■ - Second— Profiting by the experience of Washington, Jefferson and Hamil ton, and the teachings of the great stu dents of monetary science from the time when John Looke wrote to the "discussion of the present 'day, swe ac cept the truth of the principle now uni versally recognized and 1 ; applied in the ; commercial world, that the .bimetal, lie standard cannot be., maintained where the ratio fixed by law -for the free coinage! of gold and silver does -.not correspond with the market ratio of the two metals; and that whenever the legal or coinage ratio varies from the market or commercial ratio to any appreciable extent, the. dollar, whether , of gold or; silver, which "thereby be comes more valuable as bullion than a_j money, will go to a premium and re tire from . circulation. _ : We saw '.this principle" applied in our own j national . experience when, under the act of 1792,. which fixed the coinage ratio at 15 to 1, gold retired from circulation because' of a slight decline in the price of silver in the open" market, whereby,' the bullion in a gold dollar, became',; worth a few cents more than the bull ion jin a silver dollar, and was there fore sold as a commodity, it was . worth more as bullion than as money, and again under: the act of 1834, which fixed the ratio at "IG to 1, when silver coin retired for" a like rea son. We are, : therefore, opposed to th*. free, unlimited and independent, coin age of silver at the ratio ..osf s 16 to 1, when T the market or commercial ratio is more than 30 to 1, and the difference between : the bullion value. of ' a gold and a silver dollar is about 50 cents. on the ground that such action, instead i of restoring - the bimetallic standard, 0 j would Inevitably result in silver, mon- - i ometallism. " - .- yzr- Third— this time there Is no coun try in the world which 1 maintains the j bimetallic standard, \ arid • neither ;is there any country where the free coin age of silver obtains which is not on a ; silver basis. Each country, on account of its inability to adopt Independently any bl-metallic standard, must elect for itself which it prefers, . the gold or silver standard. We therefore favor, in the absence of international co operation, the retention and mainte nance "■ of the existing gold . standard, . biecavse'a change from the : gold to a ; silver standard would have the effect to repudiate all public and private ob ligations to the extent of the difference between the bullion ( value of the gold and silver dollar; because whenever such change should be seriously threatened, it would cause an ' imme- . diate attempt at a collection and liqui dation : of all debts in- anticipation of the result" is would produce; because such transition from the : gold to j the silver basis would destroy! public and private confidence, and would involve; the country in such confusion and dis tress that the products of agriculture and the wages of labor would be unre munerative, the business of commerce would become unprofitable and oiir people engaged in industrial occupa^ tions would be thrown out of employ ment; because there , is not' a progress- . ive, an j enlightened country in j the : world' which has not elected. gold as the prefer&ble standard , because gold , standard countries retain silver in their circulation on a parity with • gold, whereas there is no silver-standard -. country which can utilize; gold; as money; because there Is » not -a- silver' country. on the globe where 5 the wages of labor are suflicient'.'Ao sustain the : working classes in [ comfort and ' inde pendence; and, finally,, because the high destiny of the Uuited States demands for the use of the American people that- money which ; experience' has taught mankind to be best 'suited ' for commerce, the development -of manu factures, the ■ encouragement of labor* and the advancement : of civilization. .. ;. Fourth We • would rejoice ''over J the adoption of real bimetallism, but in view of the continual fluctuations in the price of silver in the open market, we realize that it Is impossible f fo r the United State's independently' to adopt r a;* bimetallic, standard^ ; and we deem it unwise arid hazardous to the best in terests of its people for this, country to ; attempt its establishment. We far. vor the policy of this country standing in the attitude of readiness at all .times to co-operate with the other . powers in -any effort they ' may inaugurate looking to the adoption of truebLmet-^. al!ism,~; but in the | meantime and until successful co-operation" ' is j assured, to -maintain . inviolate its existing stand ard of . value. :.-•- y. yf.f.z.Z-'Zf '"•''''-;'.-': '_ Fifth We favor the retention as part pf our money of the. silver now coined, and in order to give a- wider -field; for. the use of silver, we - favor the coinage j %f- money other than silver and .silver; .certificates below the . denomination of ,ten dollars into higher denominations, [so ; as to make our entire - circulation j below the denomination of . $10 either 'silver or silver certificates; and to this ! end I the secretary, should be authorized f by law to coin from time! to time, S as -the people may require them, silver dol- j lars, until the demand of commerce for ; money, below the denomination of ?10 'isi at all times satisfied. y.r - _ Sixth— We realize our national bank " ing system was adopted ' during 'a ! time of war and 1 that it is not adapted 'to existing conditions. We, therefore, favor such legislation as will. insure to .' the people ; a system ' of ; banking . sur grounded by, such safeguards as will at ; all \ times ; furnish them fa: safe, elastic j and sufficient currency ;• for the 1 trans action of their business! ';~ "'r*; . f '- -. •y Seventh— We can but commend the , unflagging courage and steady patriot ,.- ism of President : Cleveland ; in . his ■ ef forts to protect the national; honor and to maintain the public -credit 'during: a period of ! great ' financial distress and under conditions which threatened' - danger to " both; and we congratulate! _ him ! and .. the entire ■ country -on • cvi- ! dences .of returning j prosperity.- : -- The reading of the resolutions was frequently interrupted by applause. ; ." •-;; Resolutions _ were ; adopted i indorsing • 1 the work of the . reform ' committee on sound ; currency of!
