I give you preetrnR upon the auspicious opening of this conference * and eont atulate you and the irreat cause wherein we are en gaged that so numerous and representative body of men ha gathered from a large ma jority of the states and territories to partici pate in the first general council of the silver republican party of the United States. We are happy also to welcome the inspiring presence of a delegation representing the bimetallic organization of the women of the country who ; sympathies are enlisted as ever in behalf of Justice ana humanity. We deMre above all things else of imme diate political concern the speedy reestablishment lishment In the United States of true bi metallism : the same privilege of free coin age at the mint for both gold and silver , and absolute equally between them In all money power when coined , with the option to every payer , whether the government or an individual , to choose what coin shall be the basis of payment in every Instance. We wish to do all in oar power to advance thla h-ppy consummation and -we realize that if th ! great cause is to succeed in the elections of 1SSS and MOO It can do so only through the addition to the allied armies of 5. ( > DOO that followed the banner of the Joint standard In IK'S or at least some hundreds of thousands of republican ? of that contest. The general method of our procedure will be that demanded by the decths of our con victions and the dominant importance of the is = ue that has moved u * . With us the cause is everything. Men and parties rink into re a- Uve inconsequence. All armies marching to invest the citadel of th guld standard are our allies , all their soldiers our comrades. We will loyally and tirelessly cc-op Tate with ai : other organized forces of bimetallism that honestly profess the faith and reso lutely and undevlatlndy keep it. Harmony is of vital concern to the success of the cause and nothing but consideration of Its welfare sball limit "the burdens we will gladly bearer or the sacrifices we will eagerly make to advance It. But the sincerity we offer we shal ! also require- Oar allegiance 1s to the cause aJoae and we should as readily abandon an ally v. ho would Imperil the cause as we turned from the old republican party when it was false to its duties. It would be useless to deny that social and Industrial evolution Is waiting for the polit ical treatment of other questions that will successively ripen for settlement after the monetarv reformation shall have been ac complished and thatthe , underlying prin ciples on which their wise settlement de- p nds are such as naturally place their achievement In the same .hands. The immediate business In hand is the determination of ti.e time and Place for hold ing a national convention , the membership of which could maTce an authoritative derlaralon of principles the discussion and adoption of a olan of general organization in the states and territories -will follow.

Members of the com mittee will be named tomorrow. The reso lutions were as follows : Whereas. It is not the province of this committee to anticipate the action of ! he national convention in the formation of a platform and declarations of principles ; Whereas.

Resolved That the silver republican psrty of the United States favor the immediate establishment of bimetallism by the inde- psndent action of the United States through the free colnac-e of both silver and gohl at the ratio of 1C to 1 and clothing of both metals equally with even' attribute of full money , with the right to every debtor to choo e. which coin shall be the basis of P lesolved That the achievement of this great object i deemed bjus of paramount political importance and shall form the con trolling motive of our po-ltical action until It Is accompl-sfced.

The force of the explosion was so great that nearly all the windows in the block were demolished and the Shure building , which Is a. four-story structure was badly damaged. Immediately following the ex plosion , the building was ablaze from cel lar to roof , and tie fire department hjd a desperate struggle before it succeeded In extinguishing the flames. The building was almost entirely destroyed by the fire. however , and such portions of the large stock of fireworks as had not been scattered throughout the neighborhood by the ex plosion were destroyed , causing a heavy loss to Shure. The explosion caused a wild panic In that portion of the town for a time and the wildest stories were current regarding the number of killed and wcunded. It happened at a time when the street was crowded with people on their way to their homes , and the street cars. which pass the front of the building every minute , were densely crowded with passen gers. The flying missiles from the factory struck a number of people on tbe cars and one man -who was gazing into a store window fully 400 feet distant had his attention suddenly attracted to other matters by a rocket , which hit him squarely In the back. He fell to the sidewalk unconscious , and was carried to the hospital before he was able to give his name. Tie majority of those Injured , houever , received but trifling hurts , end will be around within a day or two. The loss to the buildings and con tents is estimated at JCO.OOO. Mrs , Maggie Kinney , one of the Injured , died at the county hospital from Injuries to her spine. S 3IAKI ! A < ; itlAT 1V\II VDB. fJHc I1r iH IVopIr n Touch of Lift- . DETROIT.
