FREE SILVER LateslMove of lis Friends At Washington. A MANIFESTO- PROMISED. Their Idea of Democratic financial l'olicjr. WHITE METAL; IN COMMONS Washing-ton. Feb.

2C A movement has been Inaugurated to secure a majority of the Democratic members of the House in favor of a financial policy having the free coinage of silver for Its keynote. For some time there ha been a discussion carried on by the free silver leaders of the party orer the practicability of a plan to unite their forces and to crystallize their Idea Into some sort of a platform or declaration. The ne result has been the draft of a declaration addressed: "To the Democrat of the United States." and outlining a financial policy for the Democratic party. This paper ha been circulated on the Democratic side of the House, and is being vigorously dls- concensus of opinion of silver Demo crats upon its expressions. The chief instigators of the movement are Messrs.

Bland, of Missouri; Bryan, of Nebraska; Sibley, of Pennsylvania. Coffeen, of Wyoming. Their paper at present but a tentative expression, they say, and not yet in form for publication, since none of Its details have been definitely agreed upon. In substance it states the financial policy of the party to be for the free coinage of gold and silver on terms- of4 equality at the ratio of IS to I. for the issue of all paper money by the Government without the Intervention of banks and opposition to any issue of interest bearing bond without the authority of a special act of Congress.

Attention is called to a movement said to be under way through the efforts of the opponent of free sliver In the party to secure the election, of gold men as delegates to party conventions, and particularly to the next national convention for the nomination of a single gold standard man for the presidency. Democrats are urged to oppose the movement and to see to Jt that none but free silver men be elected to position of Influence in the party and to represent them In all conventions. If support of a majority of the party in Congress can be pledged to a financial platform. It Is Intended to issue the manifesto to the Democrats of Che United States within a few days. At present the declaration Is la but a formative stage.

Mr. Bryan says, and it Is Intended to secure the views of members and make such changes In It as the majority of them may dictate. There Is a possibility that they may not be able to agree upon any form of address, because considerable diversity of opinion has developed to-day upon the details of the statement. But few Western members have been approached, and the Populists are entirely ignored, with the expectation that they will come into the Democratic party if It declares for free silver. Mr.

Bryan also made an Incomplete canvass of the sliver Democrats In the Senate. He did not present any prepared declaration, such as he thought It would be wise to make, but merely submitted to them the Question of advisability of aura a movement, anj suggested among other things that a Joint meeting of the stiver Dtm-icrats in the two house be held before adjournment for consideration of the matter. HJw far this ctnvats hts ben lr-spired by the meet In of the Executive Committee of the Ig.i it is to for while the prime movers say thataTieir plan entirely Independent of lw loairue, it Is noticed that they are men who have been admitted to the councils of nat body -during lie s-uti ri. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Reeolatiott Calling; For Cooperation la aa International Conference Adopted Without Division.

London. Feb. 2. Robert Everett. Liberal, moved In the House Com mon to-day th bimetallic resolution which was approved on Friday last by the Parliamentary Committee the Bimetallic League.

The resolution In substance was that "this house regards with Increasing apprehension the con stant fluctuations and growing diverg ence In the relative value of gold and stiver, and heartily concurs In the re cent expression of opinion upon the part of the Government of France and the Government and Parliament of ne- THE COURIER-JfiURNAL, LOUISVILLE.

The statement that the failure of the conference was due to a premature declaration of Fir rharles Rivers Wilson waa unfounded. The resolution was abandoned owing to the opposition of the other delegates, and the result of the conference waa that the itmI malority of the delegates greed In favor of a monometallic currency and a gold standard.

In regard to the recent attitude ef Germany, there appeared te be held an Idea that she bad changed the opinion which she had held In favor of a gold standard; be believed that tne recent, declaration of Prince Hohenlohe did not amount to anything of the kind. The declaration, however, no doubt Implied a dealre upon the part of Oermany to with the other powers the means to mitigate the evils which had arisen from the depredation In the value of silver. If Germany made any proposals with that object In view. Her Majesty's government would be ready to enter Into the discussion In a friendly spirit while at the same time adher ing to Its own currency. was so deeply Interested a England In malKtainlnar the currency on a sound basla.

and a continuity of this currency policy was most necessary. As Mr. Everett's motion did not commit the government to an agreement In regard to bimetallism, and a the government did not deny the existence of the evils referred to. and a the resolution only Invited the government to Join In any communications on the subject, whether In the form of a. conference or other wise, with the great states of Europe, he would not oppose the motion.

He was not willing "to place the currency of this country, upon which Its pom-merce and prosperity depended. ft the mercy of any foreign nation." He declined to place the currency of England under the control of any International committee, "If France and Oermany, or other powers wish to combine on the ouestlon. they oan do so. but It Is not for Great Britain to follow their example." Mr. Everett's motion was adopted without a division taken.

MRS. CLEVELAND'S WHITE RIBBON, the Chicago Record.) Mrs. Cleveland has Joined the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. There ha been a tremendous effort made to conceal the fact from the public, but It Is nevertheless true. Miss Wlllard and a few of her devoted friends, who are here attending the National Council of Women, bad rhe honor of initiating the mistress of the White House Into the mysteries of that order last week.

The ceremony was simple and brief. Mrs. Cleveland signed the constitution, and then Miss Wilard kissed her and pinned a badge of snow-white ribbon upon her breast. Then the ladies present shook hands ail round. No other member of the executive family was present.

The Chief Magistrate was laboring with affairs of State up stairs, and whether he is aware of the Incident or cot Is an open question. The fact would probably not have leaked out If Mrs. Cleveland had not appeared at one of the meetings wearing her white ribbon badge. She seemed to be quite proud of it. and It caused other women to ask questions.

Then her signature at the end of the constitution wras shown wKh great caution and with pledges of secrecy, but before the meeting adjourned nearly everybody In the hall knew all about it. But the National Council of Wom en ha not been received at the bite House. The Daughters of th American Revolution went up there by invitation the other day and spent a few pleasant moments with the President's wife, but Miss Anthony, remembering her past experience, has not placed herself in a position to be snubbed again. Last year she addressed a formal letter to Mrs. Cleveland asking if she would be good enough to tlx an hour when the delegates might have the honor of calling to pay their respects, and the only reply that came was addressed "My xear Alias and signed by -Robert the President's stenographer.

It said that Mrs. Cleveland could not find It convenient to comply with the request. As Miss Anthony had never seen or heard of the young man of the name of O'Brien, and as the President's wife had never before refused admission to the White House to respectable women who desired to pay their respects, there was a good deal if righteous Indignation. Mrs. Cleveland's refusal In this Instance was due.

It is said, to her very determined opposition to universal suffrage, and It was afterward explained by somebody that she did not want to place herself in a position to be a censed having done anything to recognise or encourage the movement. But the oman ennsttan Temperance Union, which she Joined last week, has an article In it constitution In support yt. woman sunrage. ana her name aiiacnea to idii article now, "My old friend Hiram Oidblo, formerly of StarksvlIIe Center. but now of York city." said CoL Calliper to a New Tork Sun reporter, "was born and raised on a farm: but he came later to the city, went into trade, got rich, and retired.

After a lifetime of work be thought he would try the pleasure of laieness. "But somehow It didn't work: th nrst thing he knew he was troubled with insomnia: he couldn't sleep nights. He tried counting a million backward, thinking about pleasant things, and all that, but it was no use; he couldn't iecp. men ne mought or something.

Simrall and' Mackoy to fight the case In court. The compensa tion agreed upon was to be J12.500. but the City Council of Covington sought to evade payment by denying the right of the committee in charge of the work to delegate its right to employ counsel to another body. The city won In the lower court, but under the decision to-day the lawyers get their fee. The case of Goodloe Combs, of Clay City, was affirmed In the Court of Appeals.

Combs entered Into a conspiracy with his brother. James Combat Charles Hall and Jesse Barnett. to murder John Rose. In 1SS3, and was con victed and given a seatence of life imprisonment. The case has been twice tried In the lower courts and twice appealed, the same verdict being reached each time.

Counsel for Mr. Evans sought to have the investigation extend to a number of districts that had not been specifically objected to. insisting that they had a right to ascertain the general facts.

BOATS PLACED SAFETY. Sot Thought That Any Dam- a5e Will tBe Done. REPORTED BY TELEPHONE. The lc broke at Twelve-mile Island shortly -before o'clock last night. About 1:20 o'clock a telephone message from Utlca reached Thomas McAullffe at the office of J.

T. Duffy, the coal merchant, that the Ice gorge was passing at that place. There was considerable excitement along the river bank about that time. The warning signal was carried from mouth to mouth from Sixth street to Towhead island. The night watchman at van's coaling barges gave a yell, which was taken up by the watchman at the next coal float above.

In this manner the news of the break was carried to the nineteen coal floats in a few minutes. While the rivermen felt no particular uneasiness they took some precautions against the Ice that was expected and the big water that it bring. At 6 o'clock the river began to rise two inches an hour. The pumps on the Louisville and Evansvllle wharfboats were set to work to see that they were all' In perfect order. Everything was made ready to pull the wharfboat Into shore to keep pace with the rising river.

Mr. C. C. Fuller, of the Mail Line wharf, was informed of the break in the ice above, and at once gave orders to the night watchman at the wharf. Frank Long, to put the wharf In ship shape.

All the slack line was pulled In and extra lines tied. The wharf Doat was also pulled In farther toward shore and made fast. Capt. Devan had all his men on watch and the Life Saving station was safely tied, with extra lines. The different coal men had air their float tender on duty in order that they might be at hand in case the Ice should reach here suddenly and La unexpect ed quantities.

It is probable that in the near futurw homing pigeons will be used toy tiC ocean steamers to convey news of acci dents and delays, such as have occurred to several of the transatlantic liners or. late. The plan has been discussed I shipping circles ever since the accident to the machinery of the Gascogne, say the New York Herald. The carrier pigeon.

"I calculated," said Mr. Newell, "that if the Gascogne were enabled to send out homing pigeon after the fierce storm had abated news of her safety would have reached' this port three days before it On the Saturday before she was reported she was only 600 miles from New York, and that distance could have been covered by a homing pigeon In seven or eight hours. There are pigeons that have records -of 700 to 1,000 a day, and this usually oespite adverse weather. I believe that few homing pigeons are ever lost of their own fault.

Frequently they are shot by hunters, but In more instance are killed by hawks. "In any case. If a half dozen birds are lt go at one time, one or two of them are sure to shortly rea-h home. Should they become exhausted maklnar a long fly they would light on other vessels, as they have done many times, and thus a chance would be afforded for the disabled vessel to be reported. I have talked to several of tho interested in the bis liners and they look: with a great of favor on tho scheme." The utility of the homing pigeon lr carrying messages over the water waa successfully tested when the United States cruiser Nw York launched and during the yacht race In 193.
