WILL DECLARE FOR SILVER
Illinois Democratic Convention Will Speak
, in No Doubtful Tones.
MOVEMENT IS ONE OF GREAT STRENGTH
lion. John Muyo 1'iiliiicr M kos ait An
nouncement , llusc < l on Careful 1'er-
aouiil Investigation tlmt C route *
n Scnsiktlou In Chicago.
CHICAGO , April 27. The most sensational
political development for many a day In Chicago
cage , If not In the entire west , was made
public this afternoon. The coming demo
cratic state convention In Illinois will beyond
all doubt declare for free silver without In
ternational agreement of any kind and the
movement is of such strength thai other
western and southern states will bo pre
vented with great difficulty , If al all , from
following the lead of Illinois. As a party
the democracy of Illinois Is doomed to dis
organization.
The authority for these statements Is Hon.
John Mayo Palmer , corporation counsel ot
Chicago and one of the best known demo
crats In the state. Ho Is not a free silver
man. On the contrary , bo has a reputation
with the more pronounced silver element as
a decided "gold bug. " Mr. Palmer Is the
Don of United States Senator Palmer who
lias been leading the money light for the
national administration In Illinois. The state
ments were made In an Interview this after
noon and the news has caused widespread
comment and speculation. Mr. Palmer re
turned to Chicago today from tbo state capi
tal. Ho said : "Tho sentiment In favor of
the free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio ot 1C to 1 without International
conference or agreement seems to have
taken complete possession of the democracy
ot Illinois outside of Cook county. I con
ferred with men of all shades ot opinion upon
this subject , with republicans as well as
democrats. I talked with republicans bo-
cauio sometimes the lookersou see more of
the game than the players. I met old
friends with whom I could talk confidentially
and got the Impression that while there Is a
very strong and respectable sentiment
throughout the state In opposition to this
currency theory , yet the opponents of 16 to 1
nro without organization , apparently without
ambition to succeed and are singularly silent ,
whllo the silver men are vigorous , active
and aggressive.
"It seems to mo utterly Impossible that
the opponents ot 16 to 1 silver , should they
take part in the June convention , could
make any serious Impression. The conven
tion will unquestionably declare In favor of
1C to 1 without conference with any nation.
We who oppose that view , although there are
some difference's ot opinion among us , will
as a rule , take no part In the convention , al
though In Eomo counties delegations will be
sent composed of leading men representing
both views wholly ( respective of the senti
ment In the particular locality.
"Thero has been a great deal ot unnec
essary personal irritation and controversy
over this subject which Is very much to be
deplored. Tbcro will be a good deal ot talk
about 'reading men out of the party , ' The
Immediate effect of the expected declaration
will be to disorganize the democratic party
In this state , If such a thing Is possible. The
ultimate effect , should the * currency question
bo the prominent ono of 1S9C , will bo the re
organization of both parties on new lines.
Those who like myself may bo called con
servative , have a faint hope that wo may be
able to Induce the Juno convention to de
clare that It la Inexpedient to draw party
lines upon the silver question by a , state
convention , but I confess I have no very
great confidence that we will be able
to secure this. Unless the refusal
ot the democrats who agree with
me to take part In the convention shall lead
the party elsewhere to bellevo that demo
cratic sentiment IB not thoroughly repre
sented by the convention tbla declaration
Will bve a very strong and powerful In-
flucnco on the parties In the western and
southern states , but will not , I think , affect
anything east of Ohio. "
Fit i : IS SIIA'KK AND A WUSTEItN MAN
Speaker Crisp's Idcns ot the Democratic
Fit lit In the Next Uiiniptlgii.
KANSAS CITY , April 27. A special to
the Times from Atlanta , Ga. , soya : Speaker
Crisp , who Is at his home In Americus , In an
Interview with a correspondent today , de
clared for the free coinage of silver , and
gave It as his opinion that the democrats
should nominate a western man for the
presidency. In the course of the intervle-v ,
which is quite lengthy , Mr. Crisp says
among other things : "There should never
have been any doubt as to my position on
any question. I made a speech for tree sil
ver ten years ago , before anybody but poli
ticians had considered It. 'I stand to what I
then said. The disposition of the tariff clears
the way for the settlement of the sll\er
question. . ,
"That question , " said Mr. Crisp , emphat
ically , "is now fully before us. '
"Will It bo the one Issue before the 'people
next year ? "
"It will , " said he , "and in such a way
that it must be settled directly , not by sub
terfuge or evasion , but openly , so that the
people may understand It. It will not down.
The majority of the American people in both
political parlies are In favor of the restora
tion of the free coinage of silver. The people
are today behind the free sliver movements ,
and they will push It on to success and have
stiver re-established to Its old quality with
gold. In the next campaign the rehabilita
tion of silver will be the main and control
ling Issue upon which the democracy will ap
peal to the peoeple. The platform to be
adopted In 1S9G should declare for the free
coinage of sliver , directly and with a set of
principles responding to the demands of the
common people. We should select some
good man from the west , some man with a
military record , Identified with the dominant
sentiment that now controls the party. The
only fear I have Is not that the people are
not In favor of free silver , but that the free
silver people , who are In the majority , may
divide Into factions.
"I am , " concluded Mr. Crisp , "In favor of
the free coinage of silver , as I have always
been , and the democratic voters will declare
for it next year. The talk of Mr. Cleveland
for a third term , under any conditions , has
no basis. The people will not make that
break In the record. His views on the finan
cial question are not shared by the people. "

ATTORNEYS ARE AGREED ON THIS POINT
Argument of the Attorney General In the
IJcnrliig ot the Cnao Hears Out the
Conclusion This In the View of
the Government.
WASHINGTON , April 27. Since the de
cision of the supreme court In the Income tax
case there have been frequent expressions of
opinion of the attorneys as to the liability ot
the government for the sums paid on rents
and Invested personal property under former
Income tax laws.
It will be remembered that Attorney Gen
eral Olney In his brief petition for a re
hearing c'lggested that congress could not
well escape making provisions for the re
funding of these amounts if the decision waste
to stand. Associate Justice White's dissentIng -
Ing opinion , the text of which was made
public today , also touched upon this point.
He said : "Under the Income tax laws which
prevailed in the past for many years and
which covered every conceivable source of
Income , rentals from real estate , and every
thing else , vast sums were collected from
the people of the United States. The decision
here rendered announces that these sums
were wrongfully taken , and thereby , It seems
to me , creates a claim In equity and good
conscience against the government for en
enormous amount of money. Thus , from the
change of view by this court , It happens that
an act of congress , passed for the purpose of
raising revenue. In strict conformity with
the practice of the government from the
earliest time and In accordance with the oft-
repeated decision of this court , furnishes the
occasion for creating a claim against the
government for hundreds of millions of
dollars ; I say creating a claim , be
cause If the government bo In good con
science bound to refund that which had been
taken from the citizen In violation of the
constitution , although the technical right may
have disappeared by a lapse of tlmo or be
cause the decisions of this court have misled
the citizen to his grievous Injury , the equity
endures and will present Itself to the con
science of the government. This conscience
shows how necessary It is that the court
should not overthrow Its past decisions. "
SULUKS' HATIONS AKE AI.I , IUUUT.
Navy Uep.irtiucnt onicluls Deny the Stories
fiom thii I'liclHe Colit.
WASHINGTON. April 27. The officials of
the Navy department are nettled by the fre
quent severe criticisms upon the Insufficiency
of the naval rations which emanate from the
Pacific coast ports. They have no hesitation
In ascribing them to the bumboat men and
the keepers of chops patronized by sailors
who have been deprived of handsome "pick-
Ings" from the sailors by the enforcement of
the order limiting the number of rations In
a mess that may be commuted or turned
Into cash by the sailors and spent ashore.
The naval ration Is fixed by act of con
gress and It is not within the power of any
man , even of the secretary of the navy , to
'
change It , elthe'r by Increase or diminution.
The officers state that It Is the most liberal
of any furnished to the- sailors of the naval
powers , and that a vast majority of the people
ple of America are not as well supplied with
good wholesome food as are our sailors. The
ration as fixed by law Includes the following
staples , all , It Is said , In sufficient quantity
for any person : Bread , flour , pork , beef ,
preserved meat , beans , peas , rice , dried
fruits , butter , tomatoes , coffee , tea , cocoa ,
sugar , pickles , molasses , vinegar , fresh meat
and vegetables.
When within reach of a market the law
Is construed as to permit a wide range cf
choice foods under these general heads. For
Instance the sailor may have fresh soft bread
or biscuit under the head of flour , he may
have corn meal , hominy , oatmeal , rye and
cracked wheat. If ho tires of beef and pork
he may try mutton , vaal or poultry or can
turn to canned corned beef and mutton , ham ,
bacon , sausage and fish. Any kind ot fresh
vegetables the market affords may go on the
mess table , and for dessert he can fall back
on dried apples , peaches , raisins , currants ,
prunes , figs and dates. But the sailor who
still has an ungratlfled appetite may Indulge
it , for In every mess of twenty-four persons
six rations may be commuted each day , In
cluding $1.SO , which may bo applied to the
purchase of luxuries. No distinction in
persons Is made In the Issue of the naval
rations , and the admiral commanding the
fleet receives the same ration , no moro nor
less , that the youngest apprentice aboard ship
receives , and can receive only the same com
mutation for eacli ration.
The food supplied the shipping market
must be carefully inspected when brought
aboard the ship , and to Insure good quality
and good cookery the captain tastes a sample
of each meal cooked for the men. No one
can withhold the full ration from a sailor ,
and ho has simply to "go to tha mast" to
have a complaint entertained , and If he per
sists a board of three officers must be ap
pointed tc Inquire Into It and see that tbo
law Is complied with.
IlUbSlA'3 I'KOUUl/riUN OF OIIAIN
estimate of the Crops for the Tear and the
Amount Avnllabln for Kxport.
WASHINGTON , April 27. The State de
partment has received a report from Consul
General Karel at St. Petersburg , upon the
Russian wheat supply , with an estimate of
grain for the crop year of 1894-95 , taken
from an article published in the Messenger
of Finance. The figures are given In Russian
measurements , a peed amounting to 36.112
pounds , and desseatine , 2.C997 acres. The
grain harvested is as follows :
Wheat , 424,278,000 poods ; rye , 1,105,382,000
poods ; oats , 558G4Q,000 poods , and barley ,
223,384,000 poods. Deducting the amount re
quired for the home consumption there re
mains for export wheat , 221,078,000 poods ;
rye , 97,452,000 poods.
The Messenger thinks there are good pros
pects for Kusslan grain by reason of feebta
competition from transoceanic countries , and
because of the low level of prices. The total
requirement of foreign countries for Im
ported wheat Is estimated at 731,917,000
poods , for rye , 134,618,000 poods , and the
total available for Is- Wheat
export , 546,059-
000 poods , and rye , 491,480,000 poods. It is
contended that 84 per cent of the Russian
wheat and 77.5 per cent ot the Russian rye
ready for export would .be employed In cov
ering the foreign requirements. The Mes
senger advises Russian , exporters to keep
back their supply , as. Russia al present is
placed in an exceptionally'favorable position ,
and the demand for hfcr craln Is at present
very great. The area' under cultivation for
winter crops has diminished In European
Russia , the Caucasus anil the kingdom of
Poland to the extent ( Of 38 per cent of the
total cultivated area , - " J
Cotton Seed Oil Kxports to Grrinany.
WASHINGTON , April$7. $ The adoption by
the German Reichstag jyeaterday of a duty
of 10.marks ( $2.40) $ ) on cotton seed oil may
materially affect thoiiexportatlon from this
country. For several1 yenrs the amount of
cotton seed oil exportttl to Germany has been
Increasing , Last yearuilt Increased from
1.075,946 gallons In 1893 to 2,199.453 gallons
valued at $967.924. This lj- about one-seventh
of the total amount exported. In addition
to this it is believed that a large amount of
the cotton seed oil shipped to the Nether
lands ( aggregating over 6,000,000 gallons last
year ) , almost half ot the exportation , reaches
Germany.

LIKELY TO HOLD DURRANI
Discrepancy in His Stones the Strongest
Thing Against the Accused.
LAMONT CASE IS TO BE TRIED FIRST
Authorities Think It Much BtronB r Than
the One on Which 11U rrelliiilnnrjr
Hearing Is llcliiR Hold I'rls-
oner Is drawing Morose.
SAN FRANCISCO , April 27. The police
judge , before whom W. II. T. Uurrant. tlio
medical student , Is having a preliminary
examination on the charge of having mur
dered Marian Williams , will probably hold
the prisoner for trial. If ho does so , It wlU
bo because Durrani has lied in the matter
of having had an Intimate acquaintance with
the dead girl , and also because ho has lied
regarding his movements on that night. So
far as positive Identification of the prisoner
as the man who was seen In the nelghbor-
hood of the church with a woman answering
Miss Williams' description Is concerned , the
prosecution has apparently a weak case.
The district attorney has promised to close
the case for the people on Tuesday , to which
day the hearing has been adjourned. So far
as Is known , outside police circles at least ,
all the testimony yet to bo given Is that of
the autopsy physician , and some cumulative
matter as to Currant's whereabouts on Fri
day night. Even if the authorities have
moro evidence against their prisoner they will
very likely hold It back until the fight.
A fight to have the case dismissed In the
police court seems probable. Durrani's at
torneys will nol say al tills time what they
propose doing. The prosecution fejls that
It has already produced suftlclenl testimony
to Insure the prisoner being held for trial.
Against this testimony Durrani has not
urged anything In court , and his own state
ment made outside of court is rather against
him , as several parts of it have been dis
proved , among others thai ho had not seen
the girl for three weeks.
Early In the trial an attempl was
made by the defendant's counsel to cast sus
picion upon Hev. George Gibson , pastor of
Emanuel church. Durrani's attorneys have
BO far failed In developing any tangible evi
dence connecting the minister with the trag
edies. Elmer A. Wolfe , n witness of
the prosecution , who corroborated previous
testimony concerning Durrani's tardiness and
disheveled appearance at the Christian En
deavor meeting of Good Friday evening , was
cross-examined by the defendant's attorney ,
who endeavored to show that a similarity be
tween the respective hats and overcoats of
Wolfe and Durrani and the resemblance la
stature had led to Durrani's mistaken UH'ntl-
flcatlon by persons who had really seen
Wolfe. He accounted for his movements
from noon of Friday until 2 o'clock next
morning.
George n. King , the organist , testified that
ho had no key to the side door of the church ,
Although Durrani had. but both had keys to
the library. King said he had done consider
able work about the church , bul had used
tools belonging to I'astor Gibson.
Dr. J. L. narret , who performed the
autopsy , was then called , the prosecuting
attorney suggesting that the largo number of
ladles present should withdraw.
Chief of Police Crowlcy says thai In the
Lament COBO the police will present aa
even stronger chain of circumstantial evi
dence against Durrant than In the present
case. Ho says the case Is perfect , and It
Durrant is innocent his position Is unfor
tunate.
Theodore Durrant was taken from his cell
In the city prison today and formally charged
with the murder of Illanche Iramont. He haa
been very surly for the past two days and
inado no effort to conceal Ills Irritation this
morning. "How much moro are you going to
charge mo with ? " he growled to Dctcctlvo
Seymour , who swore to the complaint.
The prison officials arc confident lhat Dur
rani's visitors bring him drugs which cnablo
him to sleep twelve hours a day. To the
use of these opiates his Increasing Irritability
is ascribed. Ho Is fast becoming what la
known as an unreasonable and troublesome
prisoner. Chief Crowley has ordered that no
notice shall be taken of anything the prisoner
says , minor prison officials having complained
of Durrani's rudeness. Durrant Is treated
with the greatest consideration. He occupies
the most comfortable cell In the prison , has
access to an adjoining bath room , Is permitted
to receive visitors al all hours , and Is not
thrown in contact with the other prisoners.
The preliminary examination In the Wil
liams case will probably bo concluded on
Tuesday and the Inquest In the Lamonl cat *
commenced on the following day.
Friends of Durrant still affect to bellevo
In his Innocence , even promising to solve ths
mystery of the murder , and Insisting Uiat
the murders were the work of a middle-aged
man , resident of the district known as the
mission , who has since disappeared.
The plan of District Attorney Barnes to try
Durrant for the Lament murder first Is gen
erally commended. Considered alone , the
Williams case Is deemed weak for the prose
cution , and with another case to be tried a
jury verdict of guilty would bo doubtful. The
prosecution fears the moral effect of an ac
quittal of the caso. The evidence In the
Lament crime Is considered much more con
clusive. It Is probable that the grand jury
will be ashed to Indict Durrant for the Lament
mont murder. This would render unneces
sary a preliminary police court Investigation.
