ALL THINGS ARE READY
THE PREPARATIONS FOR THE
SPRINGFIELD CONVENTION
COMPLETED.
OVER 1.000 DELEGATES PRESENT.
The Silver and the Gold Men Claim a
LargeJMajority ol the Delegates—A
1G to 1 Free Silver Platform Will
Be Adopted—The Platform May Go
Outside of the Curreuey Question-
Gov. ;Altgeld io be Serenaded—A
Display of Fireworks Made En Route.
Chicago, Ills., June 4.—Final prepa
rations for the trip by the Chicago and
Cook county delegates to the silver con
vention at Springfield were completed
last night at the headquarters of the
Democratic Central Committee. Secre
tary Robert E Burke has arranged every
thing, and a train load of Democrats will
be hauled into Springfield at 6 o’clock
to night.
Immediately upon its arrival the dele
gates, with the band and marching club
as an escort, will proceed to the Execu
tive Mansion to serenade Gov. Altgeld.
A grand fireworks display will be made
en route, and this will prove one of the
principal events of the convention.
Leaving the Governor’s residence the
delegates will be escorted to the hotel,
where more pyrotechnics will be indulged
in.
All told there will be from 700 to 800
persons in the Cook county crowd, in
cluding the delegates. Secretary Burke
claims that of 346 delegates fully 325 are
for the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1
and will vote for this platform in the
convention.
On the other hand the Honest Money
League claims there will be at least 75
votes against this proposition in the
Cook county delegation Secretary Burke
estimates the Dumber of freesilveritesin
the convention at 880 out of 1,076 dele
gates. It is practically certain all of
the business of the convention will be
concluded Wednesday.
Representative’s Hall will be cleared
for the convention Wednesday—desks
removed, chairs placed, flags and bunt
ing displayed.
In an interview last night Chairman
Heinrichsen. of the Democratic com
mittee, stated :
“Up to this time delegates chosen
amount io 1,000. Every county, with
the single exception of perhaps one, will
be represented, and my figures show
that out of the 1,076 delegates, 1,000
of them will be for free silver at a ratio
of 16 to 1 without international agree
ment. Whether the convention will
take up any other question but that of
currency, I cannot say, but all are of the
opinion that the platform adopted will
not go outside of the currency question
and things closely related thereto.
“I feel confident that we have taken
the right step and at the right time.
This talk of its being too far in advance
of the next Presidential campaign is all
bosh.”
THE MEMPHIS CONVENTION.
All the Railroads will give Reduced
Rates to Delegates and Visitors.
Atlanta, Ga., June4.—Commissioner
W. W. Findley, of the Southern Btates
Passenger Association, has announced
that cheap rates will be given on all the
Southern railroads to the Convention
called by the Bi-metallic League of the
State of Tennessee, to be held at Memphis
on the 12th and 13th instant.
Therate allowed will be on the certific
ate plan, one fare and one third. This
means that tickets will be sold full fare
going and one cent a mile returning
from the convention, certificates of at
tendence being the full requisite to se
cure the one cent rate on the return. In
this way it is to be seen that the trip to
Memphis and return from various points
throughout the South will cost no more
than four cent a mile round trip.
The meeting will be composed of all
classes of professional and business
men, and while it is only reasonable to
presume that most of the members will
be Democrats, there will be no party
lines drawn and the gap will be down
for men of all parties to come in and
participate in the discussion of the po
litical issues of this day aud time.
The convention will be addressed by
Senator Vest, Senator Harris, Hon. W.
J. Bryan, of Nebraska; Hon. J. C. S.
Blackburn, of Kentucky; Congressman
John Allen, of Mississippi; Senator Wal
thall, of Mississippi, and Senator Daniel,
of Virginia, aud many other distin
guished advocates of silver as a money
standard, from ali the States from Vir
ginia to Texas.

Question a Test lor Ollice.
Jackson, Miss., June 4. -The Demo
crats of Yazoo county held their nomi
nating convention to day and after nam
ing a fall ticket adopted a free coinage
plat form and made the candidates for (he
Legislature pledge themselves to vote for

election July 17.
Yazoo selected 25 delegates to attend
the silver convention at Memphis.
OLNEY TO SUCCEED GRESHAM.
Considerable Interest in the Spring
field Silver Convention.
Special to the News and Observer.
Washington, D. C., June 4.
There is considerable discussion here
as to what the outcome from the Spring
field silver convention will be. A promi
nent Democrat said to day that they in
tended to discuss silver and not the pres
ent administration.
It is almost certain that Attorney Gen
eral Olney will succeed Secretary Gres
ham.
Mr. D . E McNair and wife, of Char
lotte, passed through here last night
bearing the remains of their little child
to Erie, Pa., for burial. Mr. McNair is
conductor of the road from Charlotte to
Wilmington.
Mr. James Butler, of Rileigh, is in the
city.
Dr. Stephen B. Weeks and wife left
yesterday to attend the Centennial at the
University.
The Announcement Daily Expected.
Washington, D. C., June 4. —Though
no official announcement has yet been
made, the impression that Attorney
General Olney will be transferred from
the Department of Justice to the Depart
ment of State is so general in the best
informed quarters that it is accepted as
a strong probability, or as one cabinet
officer put it this afternoon in a non
committal way, “An exceedingly likely
guess.” The President may announce
his intentions in the matter at a late
hour to night or he may defer it to a
late day.
Idr. Olney, it is stated, will not ac
company Mrs. Olney and Mrs. Cleveland
on their journey to Massachusetts to
morrow, but may leave Washington for
Falmouth, Mass., about the same time
that the President starts for Gray Gables,
a week or ten days hence.
THE SOUTH CAROLINA CASES.
Judge Golf’* Decision to be Reviexved
by the Circuit Court ol Appeals.
Richmond, Va., Jane 4. —The Dispatch
will say editorially in the morning:
“The case of the South Carolina Su
pervisor of registration whom Judge
Golf enjoined a few weeks ago from the
performance of his duties has been ap
pealed to the Circuit Court of Appeals
now in session here, and will be heard
on appeal in that court to-morrow, be
fore the Chief Justice and Judges Hughes
and Seymour.
“The assignment of errors by the At
torney General of South Carolina to the
decree cf injunction issued by Judge
Goft in the ease is as follows:
“1. That the suit is, in effect, a suit
against the State of South Carolina and
in violation of the eleventh amendment
of the National Constitution
“2. That the supervisor of registra
tion who was enjoined is not amenable to
the United States Circuit Court in his
political capacity, and all tbe matters
and things complained of relate to the
political duties of the office.
“3. That the bill presents no question
arising under the constitution and laws
of the United States.
“4. That the bill presents no case
upon which a bill in equity lies, plain
and adequate remedies at law being
available to redress the matters com
plained of.
“5. That the jurisdictional amount of
$2,000 necessary for the Circuit Court is
not affirmed in the bill.
“6. That there is no sufficient aver
ment of irreparable injury and statement
of facts supporting it in the bill, and
positively sworn to.
“7. That the Circuit Judge erred in
holding that the registration laws of
South Carolina are in violation of the
Constitution of the United States and de
prive the plaintiff of his rights as a citi
zen of tbe United States.
“All of these questions are cogniza
ble on appeal by the United States Cir
cuit Court of Appeals sitting here, ex
cept the third and seventh, which pre
sent Federal questions, and are cogniza
ble in the Supreme Court of the United
States.
“The appellate court of the circuit
may therefore docket the case, and con
sider the grounds of appeal; and, if in
the course of the trial it finds it neces
sary to do so, it may certify the Federal
questions up to the Supreme Court for
its direction, and may afterwards pro
ceed to deal with the ease on all ques
tions raised on appeal.
“This is what the appellate court
meant on Friday last when it announced
that it was unanimously of the opinion
that it had jurisdiction to hear the ap
peal.
“The case will, therefore, be heard to
morrow on the appeal as a whole. It
may be that the appelate court will lie of
opinion that the suit below could not be
maintained on the grounds assigned
other than, and irrespective of
the Federal questions raised in
the third and seventh assign
ments of errors. If so, the case will not
get to the Supreme Court. But, if the
appellate court should be of opinion
that there was no error in respect to five
of the assignments, then the case will
go to the Supreme Court on the third
and seventh assignments.”

RALEIGH, N. C., WEDNESDAY. JUNE 5. 1895.
GOLD RESERVE GOING
WITHDRAWALS FOR REDEMP
TION PURPOSES HAVE
BEEN LARGE.
OVER SIOO,OOO A DAY DRAWN OUT.
Since January Ist tlu; Treasury Has
Lost $55,162,000 in Gold Paid Out
to R» deem Paper Money—The llol
mont-Morgan Syndicate Has to Pay
in Only $8?000,000 More—Reserve
Now Stands at sllo,2so,ooo—Treas
uryOfficials are Uneasy.
Washington, D. C., June 4.—Since
January Ist the Treasury Department
has lost within $10,000,000 as much gold
as it gained by the sale of bonds to the
Belmont Morgan syndicate. The gold
lost—sss,l62~ooo—was paid out in the
redemption of United States notes and
Treasury notes and most of these notes,
at least seven eights, have been present
ed for redemption at New York city.
On February Bth the agreement with
the Belmont-Morgan syndicate went into
effect, and by its terms the syndicate
agreed to protect the Treasury gold as
much as possible. Os the $55,162,000
lost since January Ist, but $6,000,000
are chargeable between February Bth
and June Ist. During the month of
May gold withdrawn for redemption
purposes has aggregated $1,000,000, or
at the rate of about $33,000 a day. For
the first two days of June the with
drawals amounted to SIOI,OOO.
These figures show, in the opinion of
Treasury officials, that the Belmont-Mor
gan syndicate is using all legitimate
efforts to protect the treasury gold, but
they also show that more gold is being
withdrawn than is required for ordinary
business purposes. The syndicate has
now fulfilled its contract within $8,000,-
000, and is said to be ahead of its pay
ments. The treasury gold reserve stands
at $99,250,000, aud if withdrawals in
large amounts are not made for redemp
tion purposes, when the $8,000,000 gold
owed by the syndicate is paid in, the
gold reserve will foot up fully $106,-
000,000.
What the effect will be upon the Treas
ury, after the expiration of the syndi
cates contract is a subject that is not
discussed at the Treasury, but judging
from the past the gold withdrawals will
be much heavier than for the past four
months and will naturally weaken the
gold reserve.
Aside from the gold received from the
syndicate during the past four months,
the Treasury has had several other
sources of supply. The gold received
from custom duties has been light—not
aggregating one-tenth of one per cent.
From original coinage the gold received
has aggregated several million dollars,
while in exchange for silver certificates
of small denominations for removal of
tbe crops in the South and West, con
siderable gold bas found its way into the
Treasury.
Under the treasury regulation author
izing the exchange of the world’s Fair
souvenir half dollars for gold, more
than $700,000 has been received from
this source. The supply of souvenir are
being fast exhausted. The amount of
paper money presented daily at the
treasury for redemption in gold is now
being watched with interest.

Spain’* Official Answer Ha* Been Re

swer of Spain to the late Secretary Gres
ham’s cabled demand of March 15th in
the Allianca affair reached the State De
partment several days ago, having been
delivered to Minister Taylor, at Madrid,
May 16th.
The Department of State has declined
to make public the contents of the com
munication which is long and exhaus
tive, but offers the announcement, that
Spain, after full investigation disavows
the act of the Commander on CondeVen
adito in firing on the Allianca off Cape
Maysi, Cuba, on March Bth, express re
gret at the occurrence and assures this
government that measures have been
taken to prevent a repetition of the mat
ter.
Secretary Gresham’s demand through
Minister Taylor, declared that this gov
ernment would expect prompt disavowal
of the unauthorized act, due expression
of regret on the part of Spain and posi
tive orders to Spanish Naval Command
ers not to interfere with American ves
sels passing through the windward pass
age. As Spain has complied specifically
with these demands, the incident is con
sidered closed.

ting with men on bases, aided by Cin
cinnati’s poor fielding, gave Boston an
easy victory to-day. Ten of the Boston

runs. Sullivan pitched a very heavy
game and most of the Cincinnati’s hits
came after there were two out. Team

Washington, D. C., June 4,—Louis
ville’s played worse than amatures to
day, and coupled with this the wildness
of their pitchers lost them the game.
Anderson pitched in fine style for the
home team. Brouthers played like a
wooden man. Clarke’s home run would
ordinarily have resulted in but two
bases, but by magnificent running he
beat by the return of the ball to the
plate. The game was called at the end
of the eighth inning on account of dark
ness. Attendance 2,000; weather hot.
