! < Evv YoiiK , Juno 23. Bankers reported an
easier condition In the money market this
morning. There vvcronocxtraoidlnary ship
ments of currency reported up to noon ; no
tclcguiphlc transfers ot money had been
made to San riuneisco the demand fiom
that section was believed to bo over and
the only thing noticed out of the ordinary
w Hi a largo number of demands for icdls-
counts from all over the country. The silver
question was the chief topic of discussion
on Wall street. Later In the day , however ,
the dealing house Issued $1,110,000 of clear
ing house loan ccrllnentcs , making the total
Issued * 0CO,000. , : !
Iho subtrc.tsuiy transferred $115,000 to
San Francisco by tclcgiaph In return for
gold deposited. It also received 200,000 in
gold and greenbacks In exchange for cur
rency of small denominations. The fieo
gold In the treasury today Is just ? UO,000,000.
No extraordinary shipment of currency was
made to the country , either west or south ,
by the banks or the subticasury.
There was much talk inVall street as to
the reasons which prevented the president
culling congress together Immediately Ono
of the reports was to the effect that the
president , In couvitsatlon with a lead lug
member of the house , had said that while
thcio was no reasonable doubt about thcio
being a majorltj in the house favorable to
the repeal of the Sheiimin law , It was by no
means certain that a like icsult would fol
low In the senate , and tint this unceitalnty
of the senate was the principal factor
ngtilnst the calling of an extra session ear
lier than Scptc'inber 4.
How Congress StiiiiilH.
An Intimate friend of the secretary of the
trcisurj' , in convcisat'on with a icpoitcr
today , said that aecoidltig to Air Carlisle a
canvass of the nicmUcis of congicss had
been made two months ago in behalf of Mr.
Cleveland with the result that It was learned
that theiowns a majoiitj of the house in
favor of the repeal of the Shcimau law , but
Unit in the senate there was a majority of
twenty the other wn > . It was believed ,
however , that enough scnatois ( eleven at
least ) would bo converted before Septem
ber to enable a repeal measure to bo passed
in the upper house.
An ex-trcasurv ofllcial was asked nbout
thoinlluencoof thostoppigo of fico silver
colnago by th < j Indian mints andsaid : "i'hls
isa\erj complex question , and until wo
know just exactlj what the Indian Biitlsh
government's Intentions are , it is impossible
to discuss the question thoiouglily. In some
respects , it may possibly bo a good thing for
this country. Herctofoio an English mer
chant has bc.cn able to buj' . saj' , a dollar's
worth of silvci for OS cents and have it
coined into $1 ( Indian money ) , which would
buy a dollar's worth of wheat and that gave
him a decided ndvantairo over the American.
The British goveinmcnt will no doubt try
to avoid interfering us far as possible with
commcrclol Inteiests , not only in its
. own dominions , but with the rest of the
world. It Is nlwajs veiy conservative ,
sliver coin Is still legal tender In India , but
the government is going to try to put the
country gradually on a gold basis , and , as
Hist stop , has made thu value ot the rupees
1 shilling and 4 pence. If this countij
should stop the purchase of silver in Sep
tember , I think it is verj doubtful w hethci
the Biitlsh government would bo able tc
carry out Its plans to raise the price ol
rupee atiovo the arbitrary value it hat
now given to It Theie is another qucs
tlon , too , ns to which vie nio uninformed
and which makes it difficult to discus'
the silver question at this time , that is the
uncertainty as. to the Bilttsh government' :
action In i elation to council bills. How
many of them will it continue to sell !

of the Sherman law.
Up to a few months ago the south ha
been conildencd a free silver section and tl
totes of the majority ot the cougrcssuic
wore relied upon to oppose the repeal of tl
She'rirun act aud ovou to yo further la tl
direction of cnnctlng free silver legislation ,
In ot\lcr to find out whether recent events
had brought nbout n change In public senti

of the lending newspapers In eleven southern
states the following telegram :
Please wire in tonight whether tlio sontl-
inriil In jour section now favor- * the ivpcnl of

The replies show n remarkable change In
the southern sentiment. Ono Mississippi
editor thinks the Sherman law has not had
a fair trial ; ovcrv other addressed declares
that the sentiment Is decidedly In favor of
icpcnling the law and n large majority fuvora
very prompt action.

Mr. H W. Nash , treisurcr of the Omaln

dny by a Brr. rcpoitcr with regard to the
silver sltintlon. Mr. Nnsh sild : ' 'I came
In fiom Denver last Monday , and whllo there
I had a conference of couiso with Mr. Grant ,
president of the compiny that owns this
smelter. I see that jou have something
from him on the subject of the silver market
In Tnr. Bin : this morning. I think that
what jou have thereabout covets the
ground. Wo have quit bu\intr and sh ill buy
no more silver until matters take : i different
turn. Wo handle n gieat deal of silver here ,
perhaps tnoio than nil the smelters hi Den
ver combined. It will take us some time to
work oft the stock wo now hive on hand
oven if we should buy no more , but It will bo
only n few weeks If wo do not buv mom until
wo shall tiavo to make preparations to close
up the business "
"Could ioU not turn the smelter to the
w01 king up of other kinds of ere and still
continue with jour present force ? "
"Not very well. The business would
soon become so small that It would not pay
to run at all. No , if wo cannot affoul to
woik silver wo shall have to shut up shop ,
that Is the sum and substance of thu mat

Just at this point ono of the clerks came in

Speaking of the amount of silver on hand
Mr. Nash said : "We h t\o been anticipiting
this diop for some time and have i educed

"What Is your opinion as to the futuie ? "
"My opinion would only bo a guess Wo

Thcio is ono thing sure If something Is not

"Do iou see any i\aj out of it ? "
"Oh , I still have hope that something will
be done to relieve the situation , but I cannot

DCNVHI. Juno 28. A prominent member of
the Clcai Ing House assoei ition today in
speaking of the silver situ ition said : "Tho
closing of the mints of silver colnago in
India will piecipltato the settlement of the
silver question , and , viewed fiom this stand
point , it Is not to bo regretted It will not
weaken the cause of silver , nor will it sh ike

coinage in ultimate success The money
changers lurvobut ono moio point to galii
and that is to secure the lope il of the Sher

immediate ic'sult. Instead of this , however ,
unlvcieal ruin and bankiuptev will follow ,
and the people will take the icmedj into
their own hands and that icmedy will bo ol
the heroic 01 dor.
"It may well bo doubted If it would be
good policy to oppose the repeal of the blier-
man act any further The fiiends of fiec
coinage will gain lather than lose by acced
ing to the last demand of the monomotallists ,
for there v. Ill then no longer be any room for
contioveisy. There being no money other
than gold and it being contioilcd by a com-
puativo fovv , it will only bo omp cd to extort -
tort usurious Interests for Us use from those
who must submit or bo ruined. It docs not

made to thoroughly appreciate their icla

dropped from the pension rolls has boon
Inndcd to Secretary Smith and ho has ap
proved the recommendation ,
It has been found 'upon ' Investigation by
the pension bureau that the persons n itued
in Iho list arc not entitled to draw pensions.
Among them arc the names of eleven men
now drawing pension ! , while the records of
the War department show conclusively that
they were dcsertois from the army and are
still deserters nt huge. Ono pensioner , it
has been discovered , was never In the mill-
t.u v scrv Ice at all , but has been draw Ing his
pension with regularity and dispatch just
the same. A number are dropped fiom the
rolls for not having sqrved ninety dav s , as
the law i cquiros ; others dropped because the
disability for which they nio drawing pen
sions Is the icsult of their own vicious habits.
Several women who draw pensions as sol
diers' widows aio dropped because thci have
rcmnriicd , and one woman will cuaso to
thaw a pension because she Is living In "open
and notorious adultery. "
The work of examining the rolls with a
view to the detection of fraud will be prose
cuted with \igor , and , at the s line time1 , the
cut rent issues will bo caicftilly scrutinized
with the same object. Secretary Smith and
Commissioner Lochrcn , while prosecuting

exact numerical relations of the parties In

o'clock this afternoon. Some thirty-odd
delegates only wcro present. The gallery
wrs well filled with spectators , a largo num
ber of them being ladles. The Nebraska
State bind intcisporscd the proceedings
with music. It is expected that other delegates -
gates will arrive by later trains. As It Is
now each of the ten states named In the con
current resolution adopted by the legislature
last winter , which wcro requested to send
delegates to the convention , Is represented
by one or more , excepting Arkansas , Mis
souri and South Dakota. All the delegates
present aio dccplj Inteicsted in the object
for w hlch the convention Is assembled , aud
considerable enthusiasm Is manifested.
Governor Crounso called the convention to
order in a hiief addiess of welcome and en-
couragemcnt. He alluded to to the fact that
the states lor which thu delegates appear
include an empire of territory which for Its
fertility and pioducttons stands without
parallel on the face of the globe. When
thoroughly developed It would produce n va-
riotv of commodities sufllciout to support a
nation. By what method these products
are to bo distributed to the people is ono of
the questions this convention is assembled
to consider. The proposition is to build a
trunk line from the northern boundaiy of
the country to the gulf , which , If consum
mated , will icdound to the credit of these
who devised it. The proposition is to build
a road honcstlj and free from watered
stocks. The enterprise Is an Important ono
and vv01 thy of all consideration. Though
this convention may not be great in num
bers , he had no doubt the ability and en-
eigyof Its membeis would give an impetus
to the work. Ho warmlv welcomed the con
vention to the capital of the state of Ne
braska.
Major Weir then foimally welcomed the
coin ention to the hospitality of the citj- .
He suoke of the importance of the object

Mio project In overv way In their power.

Wlmt 'llioy Are Aiming At ,
The project of the convention Is being gen
crullv discussed in the lobbies of the hotels
ItH main purpose was named in the concur
rent resolution that the ten states of Nortl
aud South Dakota , Minnesota , Iowa , Alls
souri. Arkansas , Texas and the Territory o
Oklahoma should Immediately take metis
urcs for a co opciatlvo effort to build u roai
from the north line of North Dakota to th
Gulf of Mexico with Its necessary branehc
and feeders.
Chailus A. Edwards of Yclasco , for man ;
jcais past connected with the picss o
Texas , u Cleveland democrat , discussing th
project , said ;
" \Ve have no doubt that the road can b
built and have no hesitancy In saj Ing that 1
ought to ho built. Wo have been for juar
undeavoilug to got thu noith und uout
trunk lines of the west to give us laics t
the gulf coast that would enable the west
cm farmer to shin his suiplus products t
thu inarKots of thu world fiom 500 to 1,00
miles ncaicr the point of production , but w
have labored in vain. It was useless to tr
to get something fiom u north and sout
road in the west owned and controlled I
the cast , und it is uovr time t
take some action Independent of them.
The need of the west has been a deep water
outlet on the Texas coast for this preat sur
plus producing section and transportation to
that outlet. The outlet has been secured
Private cnpltil has solved thu deep water
problem at Vvlasco , the mouth of the Biaros
river , and the government millions arc still
at work at Gnlvcston t'jmg to scouio the
simo depth. What wo now lack and need Is
transpoitatlon to this drcp water outlet eras
as nianj more as we can secure In future on
our coast , and that , 1 take It , Is what wo aio
hero for.
' So far as Texts Is concerned In the mat
ter relitlvo to building mid equipping her
part of this road. I ililntc It can bo ( lone w Ith-
out any complication Our constitution would
prubablv prohibit the Issuance of bonds or
the taxing ofroilty for such a purpose , but
would not piohtblt the use of convict labor
to build It , Our state has already estab
lished such a precedent. It now owns and
operates six and one-half miles of rallioad
built by convict labor fiom the
the Huntsvlllc penitentiary Into the pineries
and the road has paid for Itself several tiir.es
nhcidy. Then the state could easily borrow
money to equip our pirt of this gioat load
from Its.p'.illnblo school fund and add an ad
ditional tncomo to this splendid fund ,
' Texas Is In cnincsl In this matter , and If
the other states of the west niocmially so ,
the Indifference and airogamo with which
every request wo have hlthcito made of the
north and south lines of the west has been
treated will become simply an unpleasant
rcmlnlscenco. "

the tia'n ' stopped to take water and as she
pulled out three men boarded the blind bag- %
guge , but were so guaulcd that they were
not seen by the train ciow , The engineer
pulled out nt a speed of about fifteen miles

a few bundled jr.rds from the tank , when a
lobber climbed upon the tender and with a
15 caliber pistol In each hand throw the guns

"Throw up your hands , you , " said
the robber to the men. This remark was
the Hi st intimation that they had of being
held up. Tlcrney throw up his hands , but
Mai tin made a movement as though ho was
about to sccuie a pistol from a box under his

time with the other pistol. Martin foil dead ,
and his body rolled out of the cab of the
engine on the track w hero It was run over

The other two tiain robbers , when they
saw the dead body fall fiom the cab , jumped
from their position on the baggage car to the
car platform and made for thcbrush. There
wore but twelve pissengeis on the train and
each was armed with a six-shooter. When , ,
they heard the tiling they riTshed upon the * )
platforms and ns the two robbers rushed ( j
into the biush a volley was fired after them.
The lobber , May , who killed the llrcman ,
seeing that ho h id been deserted , made a
last desperate effort at capturing the train
single handed. Ho jumped rnto the cab anc\

L'ho engine was biought to a standstill and
Conductor Steele started after the robber
single-handed. He chased him into the

CHICAGO , Juno 2S A sensational sequel
comes tonight to Governor Altgold'B ' release
of the Hnymarkot a.iaichlsts. 'Iho Journal
raises the question of whathcr ho Is legally
goveinor of iho state of Illinois or a citizen
of the United States , The Journal asks ara
his acts legal as governor , particularly In
the pardon of thoanuichUts. The opinion Is
oxpicssod that the famous Goveinor Boyd
case of Nebraska may bo ru-cnactoU in Illl- *
nois with Altgold as the principal actor , Tim
Journal sajs Goveinor Altgcld bases hit
claim to citizenship on a simple statement
that his father was naturalized while his son
was a minor child Thu governor was born
In Prussia In 1848 und came to this country
with his parents when a boy , settling near
Manstleld. O. If his father has made a citi
zen while the goveinor was under 81 there Is
no question us to his tltlo to citizenship , but
If thouldur Altgeld waited until hU son was
over " 1 before taking out his papois , then
the title of the goveinor to citizenship Is
badly clouded , Many leading attorneys
think an explanation Is in aider from the
governor at this tlmo ,
The fact dm eloped today that friends of
riuldcn , Schwab and Ncobo know before the
election that tno governor was in sympathy
with the cause of the Amnesty association
fiom thu fact that ho vvas one of the signers
of the unsuccessful petition presented to
Governor Flfer for the loloaso of the an-
