Condition ol the Gold Bsierve Dtmojitti Preparing fcr Batiflotion if Bryan' Nomination. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, July 21 The Treas ury gold reserve at the close of business to -day stood at $89,603,805. To-day's withdrawals were $164,100. There was no information for publica tion at the Treasury of tne contem plated action of the New York banks in coming to the relief of the .Treasury. Acting Secretary Curtis said he had no 'official'' information to give out. The Treasury has about $87,000,000 in United 1 States notes and about $35,000,000 in Sherman notes and could readily exchange $J0.000;000 of theie for gold. Both classes of notes are redeem able in gold on presentation, so that if New York banks exchange gold for them, and later on they desire gold, all that is required is to present them to the Treasury for redemption and they . will get gold for them. The local Democrats here, with the co-operation of Dsmocrats in the Exec utive Departments, have united' in an effort to induce Mr. Bryan to visit . Washington when he comes East to re ceive the official notice of his nomina tion. Preparations are being made for a ratification of his nomination, which will be an immense affair in case Mr, Bryan is present, organizations from - Maryland and Virginia having indicated their intention to be present. NEW YORK BANKS Hna Pledaed Eighteen Million DollMi to Maintain the Treasury j Gol Beaerve. By Telegraph to the Morning Star . New York, Juljr 21. President Fred erick D. Tappen, ot tne tjauaun na tional Bank, said this afternoon: "The gold to be contributed to the Treasury has been collected entirely among banks which belong to the New York Clearing House. About $18,0U0,UUU nas Deen pledged up to the present. It is hoped to increase the amount to $20,000,000. Some of the trust companies which have cold may be asked to contribute. I telegraphed to-day to a prominent bank officer in Boston, asking turn to collect gold there for the Treasury. He replied by telephone that he would communicate with tne nanics in the Boston Clearing House in the mat ter. "I have not met with a declination from a sincle bank that I selected as -a contributor. There has been the hearti est co operation by the banks. The list will not be. completed before Thursday. and no gold will be delivered to the sub Treaaurv before that dav. There is no way of preventing gold exports so long as it is cheaper for the Berlin bankers to obtain gold in New York than in Lon ' don or elsewhere. The situation may change so that it will be cheaper to get gold in London GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. Wheat Closed Higher Corn Aotiva but Unchanged in Piiee Oiti Highe: Fork Frodaota Lower.

Ribs and lard followed suit in the record play, and declined to nearly the lowest figure ever made.

By Telegraph to the Horning Star. New .York. July 21. The 5'savs: Cotton advanced three to nine points, closing barely steady, with sales of 138s . 200 bales. To-day's features: The rally in the Stock market early in the day caused a higher opening in cotton. But later on stocks reacted. Liverpool was lower and less active, stop orders were reached and aims of those who bought early in the day sold later on. So prices lost the improvement. At the decline shorts , covered ireely, while Liverpool sent buy . ing orders and the lost ground was re f . covered, the c osing prices being about i tbe best of the day, New Orleans was i higher and the spot markets in this ; ountry were firm.

Committee Appointed to Draft an Address Cailfm Upon All Bilver Men to Support the Democratio Nomi nees (or Pretiient and Vies President. By Telegraph to the Morning. Star. St. Louis, July 21. The National Committee of the National Silver party met this morning at the Lindell Hotel, but after a brief session a recess was taken until 1 o'clock, when a secret ses sion was held at Dr. Mott's room at the same hotel. The roll call disclosed the presence of the following delegates: Colorado-: N. Stevens; Connecticut, Jot. Sheldon; Cal ifornia, Geo. W. Baker; Iowa, 'Amos Steckels: Illinois. Geo. M.

One of the features of the after noon session ot the National Com mittee f the Silver party was a speech made by Mr. Battell, the member from Vermont. Mr. Battell created consider able enthusiasm when he asserted that the farmers of Vermont were in open revolt against existing conditions. The majority, he said, cannot be induced to go into the Democratic party, but he predicted that many of the number would support Bryan and Sewall because of their belief in silver. He asserted that the Republican State Committee was astounded at the attitude assumed by the Republican farmers and that they were uncertain what course to pursue. Mr. Foster, of; Oregon, speaking to the proposition that it was very essen tial that the Silver party should continue their organization as an Independent political body, with which Republicats and Democrats could both consistently unite m their support of free silver, as serted that Bryan and Sewall would car ry Oregon by a ma jority of at least 10, 000. . Mr. Geo. W. Thompson, of the State of Washington, was elected to a place on the committee and following this came the appointment of a special committee cons:stmg of Senator Jones, of Nevada, and Messrs. Stevens, of Colorado. Baker, of California. Thompson, of Washing ton, and Divine, of Nebraska, to draft an address to the public, calline upon all friends of silver to support Bryan and Sewall. RAILROAD RATE WAR. Baltimore Steamship Llnea Meet the Cot on Freight and Paaaencer Traffio Spjoial Meeting; of the Freight and Traffio Association at Atlanta To-day By Telegraph to the Morning Stir. BAi,TiMORE,July 21. The Merchants' and Miners' Transportation Company, which operates lines of steamships be tween this port, Savannah, Bo. ton and Providence, all nt which call at Norfolk and Old Point. Va., meet the cut of 83 per cent, on freight and passenger traffic bv the Seaboard Air Line and Southern Railway Company, and officials of the company assert that they will meet any reduction in rates 'by their competitors. As an inducement to travellers to patronize their line, tbe uia cay Line (Seaboard s connection) announces that tree berths will be given holders of tickets to and from Richmond. The Southern's new line to Richmond was inaugurated last week. Nothing bas yet been said about meals, tut it is probable that $1 00 will buy transportation, a state room and a meal on either line before many davs. The Southern States Freight and Traffic Association will hold a special meeting in Atlanta to-morrow to con sider tbe rate war and devise a plan for concerted action on the present twenty five rail and water lines, members of the organization. ATLANTA, CjA., I Uly 21 TwOOJlCieS are advocated by tbe traffic officials who I i . . J . l . : I l I are acre iu aucnu mc meeting oi tne Executive Board of the Southern States Freight Association to-morrow. One set favors meeting the Seaboard Air Lines cut and making it apply to New York and all East ern points. There are others who are opposed to meeting the redaced rates, and these urge a maintenance of rates so as to keep a high wall on either side of the Seaboaid all along its territory l be latter course, it is said, would sonn break up their association by the with drawal of western lines. The State Railroad Commisiion of Georgia to-day notified the Seaboard that it had under consideration the ques tion ot reducing tbe company s local rates to correspond with the through rates. This movement would play rieht into tne nands ot the association lines but it would bs so unpopular with the public that it will hardly be adopted. 1 in o one can say what the association win oo tomorrow, the s.tuation is a grave one for all the reads. The Sea board is in the war to win. FIGHTING POPULISTS. Cotitiatiog Delegations Irom Illiooii Have a Scrap at'St. Loaii. i Bv Telegraph to the Morning Star. iT. i.ouistJuly 21. The contesting delegations from Illinois got mixed up in the hallway outside the room in wmca tne iaiionai committee were hearing their respective claims this evening and blows were exchanged. ine committee met at 9 p. m. and had been in session only a tew minutes when the contestants. beaded by Burns and Hogan, made some remarks about the Dr. Taylor faction, which Taylor resented. The lie was passed and in a second the two factions were mixed up on the floor. Dr. Taylor was thrown down twice. He used his fists to good advantage and landed sev eral blows on the faces ot his opponents. i ne men were puued apart, but kqj to gether a second time. Dr. Taylor was thrown down and several men piled on tup 01 mm, mere were threats ot re sorting to firearms, when the police ar rive J and restored order. Meanwhile the National Committee heard the claims of the contesting dele gates, and by a vote of 30 to 26 threw out the Burns-Hogan faction and seated the delegation headed by Dr. Taylor. This was a victory for Chairman Taube- neck, at whose suggestion the case was reopened. After the result was announced and the two delegations left the room, there were several epithets passed, but tbe po lice prevented personal conflicts. The Burns-Hogan people say . they will 'go before the Committee on Credentials and will carry the fight to the floor of tne convention. ine New York dry goods market while dull, is also steady.

By Telegraph to the Morning Star, j, St. Louis, July 21. The National Committee of the People's party met at 10 SO this morning to perfect the tem porary organization of the convention. Chairman Taubeneck presided and ihnnt fiftv mRmbera were oresent. This committee is organized upon a radically different basis from that of the old par ties. Each State and Territory is en titled to three members and out of the entire membership of 153 a central ex ecutive committee of nine is chosen to manage the campaigns. The committee comprises two female members Mrs. Anna L. Diggs. of the District of Co lumbia, who was. present to-day. land Mrs. A. O. Haskins, . from Arizona. There are no persons in official life on the committee except Senator Marion Butler, of North Carolina, who carries a pro?- . -. . L ...... There were out two contests or im portance those irom uoioraoo ; ana Illinois. The former involved 'the entire State delegations; the latter, the 27 dele gates from Cook county (Chicago). The Colorado contestants were neaoed py ex-Governor Waite, but he having de clared in favor of Bryan s nomination. his colleagues deposed him for another leader. On the matte of temporary chairman, the two candidates mentioned are uen. las. B. Weaver, of Iowa, who represented J. . r 1 1 1 J the Bryan ano aewau element, ana Senator Marion Butler, of North Caro lina, who was opposed to the endorse ment of the Democratic ticket. Alter the matter of membership ol the committee itself had been deter mined the committee proceeded to con sider applications by a number of the States for increased representation in the convention. Tbe basis upon which this is made by the National Committee in us call is one delegate for each mem ber of Congress from the State and additional delegate for each 2 000 votes cast at the p eceding general election In making the table of delegates for this convention, tbe National Committee was compelled to act upon data con tained in the various political almanacs and in tbe case of a number ot States, this information proved to be inaccurate Tbe committeemen from each South ern b ate demonstrated d? certinea copies of the tabulation of votes in his State that tbe f opunsts were entitled to 1 an increase in the number of delegates ot from one to five, the latter being allowed the State of Texas. The sev eral Territories were allowed six dele gates instead of four, making their rep resentation equal to mat in tne Demo cratic and Republican Conventions. Oklahoma was given tbe same right of representation as the States; that is, one delegate for its delegate in Congress and one for each 2,000 votes, which made its total representation nine. A recess was then taken. : ; The committee voted to proceed to the selection of temporary chairman and temporary secretary. The expec tation that this would afford a test of tbe B;ryan and anti-Bryan strength in the convention was not realized, for the name of Uen. James B. Weaver, of Iowa, who had been spoken of as the Bryan candidate for tbe place, was not men tioned. Mr. Guthrie, of North Carolina, the probable Populist candidate fori Gov ernor of that State, presented the name of Senator Butler, of North Carolina, claiming that tbe mantle of Lednidas Polk had fillen upon him. and the honor sought was due to North Caroilua be cause she had been the first-vto break the solid South. . j Mr. Branch, of Georgia, named the Hon. Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota, and a delegate' from Kansas presented the name of Gen. Field, of Virginia. Senator Butier's nomira:ion was sec onded by Cyclone Davis, of Texas, bv a delegate from Alabama, and by Mr. F., G. Brown, of Massachusetts, and he was selected temporary chairman by acclam ation, ' Fnr tvmnftrarv tATrfaru frllA nommm rtf rWwb; Vincent, of Kansas, editor of 1 m r T i tit tt courier money, ana joun w. nayes, sec retary ot tbe hxecutive Committee, Knights of Libor, were suggested and accepted. S:D. Walton, of Georgia, the: only colored member c f tbe committee, pre sented for use at the convention a gavel composed of seventeen different kinds of wood. Sixteen of these were from the South and West and cne from the East. - The Illinois ccn:est, which it was sup posed had been settled so far as the Na tional Committee was concerned, was re opened at the suggestion of Chairman Taob-neck. After some vigorous ta k ing. it was resolved . to reconsider the vote by which the two delegations were seated, esch member having half a vote, and the contest was set for a further hearing. i . . A large number of the Populists are demanding recognition cf "some sub stantial character" from tbe Bryan peo ple. No clear way to comply with their request has yet been suggested, but this does not alter tbe course ol its promot ers. The North Corolina Populists mst to-day and completed their organisa tion. Tbe delegation favor nominating Goodwyn. tbe present "candidate tor Governor of Alabama, for Vice Pre si -r dent. No vote on the Presidency ques tion has yet been taken by tbem. v There has been all day strong talk of nominating a Southern Populist for the second place on the ticket, even if Bryan should secure sufficient strength to be indorsed for first place. But shrewd manipulators who are managing matters say tnat "the tail grows with tbe hide,!' and that if they carry Bryan through (of which they have no doubt) Sewall will follow. i i The -middle of the road" men on the other hand are claiming to have carried everything before them. Tbey held a meeting to-night and counted twenty States as with them, in a determination not to endorse the Chicago ticket; but their opponents assert that they counted all the recalcitrant Bryan men as repre senting States, . whereas the full delega tion, it polled, would have been adverse to them. j J Both sides seem at a loss to estimate the significance of tbe selection ot Sena tor Marion Bdtler, of North Carolina, by the National Committee as the tem porary chairman of the convention. He has been claimed by each faction and appears not to have committed him self irrevocably to either. This mayperfcaps, explain bis unani mous selection as the. temporary presiding t ffi:er of the ' convention. That it will be a picturesque and curi ously interesting gathering is already assured. Among those to be present are Gen. Weaver, of Iowa, and Mr. Streater, of Illinois, both former candi dates for tbe Presidency on the Popu list ticket, and Gen. Fields, of Virginia, candidate four years aeo for the Vice Presidency; Eugene V. Debs, and Lieut. Burns, who shared his imprisonment; Mrs. Helen uougar, Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease. ' General". Jacob S. Coxey and Carl Brown. These and other possibilities will in termix with the grizzied wheat farmer of the West, the cotton planter of the aouin, and the enthusiastic new con verts irom the East and Middle States, who will go to make up this convention.

They belong to the Polyantha gronp Ithat is to say, they boar their flowers in trusses. The new roses have tho advan tage over the others of being "perpet ual," and consequently they flower con tinuously all through tho summer. This advantage they owe to their origin, a natural cross (croisement naturel), observed- in the Lyons gardens, between the flowers of the first specimens of Polyantha introduced from Japan and some hybrid perpetual roses. By repeat ed and eareful selections, a new race of roses has been produced which, like an nuals, germinate, flower "and produce seeds in less than a year. The term "dwarf ' ' is justified by the height, which in adult plants is only about 20 inches. The flowers are single, semidouble or double, in almost equal proportion, and present almost all the variations of color observed in cultivated roses. Flowering commences in the first year, and even a few months after sowing. This pre cocity is one of the most remarkable and interesting features of this new type.

There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to an actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millionsof families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase, that : von have the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists.
