Chicago in 1884, and the inauguration of with which he has all his life been identi fied because that party refused to indorse his views. Sound Money Mass Meeting. A big sound money- mass meeting has been arranged for to-morrow night. The national committee, which stands 27 to 23 against the silver men, will not decide on their selection for temporary chairman until Monday, but there is a strong dis position among some of the gold standard men to insist on naming the chairman as a right, and all sorts of high-handed schemes are talked of, hut the silver men are determined to take control at the start, and unless the selection is satis factory to them, they will contest it on the floor and insist on choosing their own man.

Indeed, the silver Senators have al ready settled upon William J. Bryan, of ebraska, for temporary chairman, and Senator Harris, of Tennessee, for perma nent chairman. Mr. Bryan, who has been dubbed the "Boy Orator of the Platte," is an orator of ability, and is ex pected to sound the keynote of the con vention, while senator Harris, who is a skilled parliamentarian, will preside over its deliberations. There is some talk of the committees selecting Vice President Stevenson for temporary chairman, in which case the silver men would doubtless acquiesce.

The talk of abrogating the two-thirds rule seems to be dying away. Some of the more impetuous of the silver men still say that the old rule, which was adopted to bulwark the interests of the South in the old slavery days, should go, but the more conservative of the silver men say there is no necessity for breaking down this old Democratic custom. CANDIDATES AND THEIR CHANCES Bland Leads in Popular Enthusiasm, Rut Teller is Gaining Headway. Chicago, July 3. Senator Dubois and others of Mr.

Tel ler's associates. Secretary Taubeneck, of the Populist party, and Senator Stewart, of the silver party, are bending their en ergies to impress upon the Democratic silver leaders the great strength Teller's nomination would bring to the cause of silver in which the convention is to enlist itself. So far as Senator Dubois and Mr. Teller's associates are concerned they say they stand ready to give their heartiest support to any recognized free silver Democrat whom the convention might name if the platform and other reports are satisfactory, but they point out that the free silver Republicans who would rally enthusiastically to the standard of Teller might not all vote for a Democrat while the Populists in so far as Taube neck can speak for them openly declare that unless Teller is nominated they will place a ticket in the field at St. Louis with Teller the nominee.

They show a list of 81 electoral votes from the Western and Mississippi Valley States which would be give to the nominee, more than enough to compensate for the loss of New York New Jersey and Connecticut. Mr. Newlands, the silver Congressman from Nevada, to-day spread broadcast a statement to show that with Teller as the nominee 1,000,000 silver Republicans, 2, 000,000 Populists and about 500.000 labor union votes woujd swell the 3,000,000 votes upon which the Democratic nominee could count with absolute safety, no mat ter how strong the gold standard disaf fection might be. His figures aggregated a popular vote of Mr. Cleve land in 1892 received 5,600,000 popular votes.

Has Had Its Effect. The glittering prospects involved in Tel ler's nomination, as put forth by his friends, has made its impression. Judge MeConnell, of Chicago, whom Governor Altgeld suggested as a candidate ten days ago, has espoused the cause of the Colorado Senator, and it is an open secret that a number of the Democratic silver SeDa tors, like Jones, of Arkansas; Harris, of Tennesee, and others (some of whom are publically supporting other candidates), are trying to manipulate things from the inside in Teller's interest. To-day they seemed to make considera- Die headway, ana many ot the most prom inent silver leaders here were quoted as in favor of Teller's nomination. It was even said that John R.

McLean, of Ohio, who is here at the head of the Ohio delegation, with forty-six votes at his back and himself in the field, is for Teller. But out among the Democratic advance skirmishers and the delegates who have put in an appearance there was a most emphatic expression against taking as a candidate any but a Democrat who had won his 6purs. The Teller talk induced the managers of the Bland boom to issue a public statement declaring that if the Democratic convention nominated Teller no one would give him warmer support than Richard P. Bland, as he was recognized as an uncompromising champion of free silver, who would, if elected, subordinate all other aims to accomplish it. The sting was in the tail, however, when it protested against the nomination of any but a Democrat by a Democratic convention.

Shouted for Bland. "Silver Dick" Bland undoubtedly has the popular enthusiasm with him thus far. His managers are pushing his boom with great vigor and are relying largely on popular sentiment. They have perfected details for a great demonstration Monday night as the climax of their campaign. They will parade the streets with bands and flambeau clubs and wind up with a mass meeting on the lake front.

The Boies boomers are also active. They hale placarded the hotels with lithographs of the Iowa candidate to look at by day and at night, electric lights keeping the magic name before the crowds. But it will not be until Sunday that the Boies boomers will arrive in force. Special trains will bring them to the seat of the fray. The Mathews boomers from Indiana are playing a waiting game.

By the rivalries and jealousies that are being developed they hope to profit The friends of Blackburn and McLean, the other two silver candidates, have not as yet done much work. They, too, are awaiting such opportunities as may present themselves, but neither is as yet considered in any way formidable. The gold standard men are not devoting much consideration to the question of who shall be put forward to oppose the silver candidates. The picture of Governor Pattison, of Continued on Second Page.

Thomas Coyle, Chester's noted swimmer and diver, was drowned this noon while diving for logwood at the Chester Logwood Mills. How the accident occurred Is mystery to all who knew him. At the time he dived off the wharf the City of Chester, of the Wilmington Steamboat Company, was passing, and It is thought by some that he was drawn In by the suction or was struck by the wheel. The body was recovered by Captain Williams, a submarine diver. Mr Coyle was noted for the length of time he could stay under water.

Eighteen years ago he swam a race with Johnson, the Eng lish champion, from this city to Philadelphia MURDER AND ARSON A Hired Man Assaults and Murders Woman and Then Fires the House. Cincinnati, July 3. At an early hour this morning the house of William Broder, at Covedale, was discovered on fire, and In her bed room Mrs. Broder was found dead with her throat cut. An examination shows conclusively that William Haas, a missing laborer, had not only murdered and robbed, but had erltn inally assaulted his victim.

Mrs. Broder was but 23 years old, and was married less than a year ago. The crime has so aroused the quiet neighborhood that a force of fifty or more volunteers is searching for Haas who is only 19 years old.

ALL THE BODIES RECOVERED Mrs. Augustus rde, of This City, With Her Two Sous, Augustus, and Charles, and Willie Schulta, Went to Westville, N. Yesterday to Spend the Fourth of July at Mr. Ude's Boathouse They Were About to Take a Bath When Young Schultz Went for a Bucket of Water and Fell Overboard. Charles t'de Went to His Rescue and Sank, and the Older Brother, Augustus, Met a Similar Fate Fishermen Went to the Rescue, But Were Too Late to Do Anything Bnt Recover the Bodies The Parents of the Boys Are Distracted.

Mrs. Augustus Ude, of 229 Marriott street, accompanied by her two sons, Au gustus, and Charles, andWillie Sliultz, of 705 South Third street, went to West ville, where Mr. Ude owns a comfortable boat house on the banks of Big Timber creek, yesterday afternoon to spend the Fourth of July and Sunday. They left their home about two o'clock, expecting the husband and father to join them after he had finished his day's work. The happy little party were in high glee over the prospects of spending two pleasant days away from the city, and fairly drank in the cool country breeze as they sped along -their way to Westville.

Io sooner had they reached their destination than they started in to get all the enj'oyment possible out of the trip. I hey had frequently visited the plnce before; in fact, it was customary for Mr. Ude to spend every Sunday and his sum mer vacation at his boat house with his family and a few friends. The boys had often bathed in the creek and were rapidly learning how to swim. A Bucket Pulled Him Down.

They had been at the boat house about a half an hour when swimming was suggested and they all three jumped at the opportunity of thoroughly cooling them selves off. line Sliultz, 13 years old, was the first to get ready for the bath and was scampering around the boat house and out on the warf in front of it with only a pair of trunks on his person. He was waiting for his two young friends to disrobe, when Mrs. Ude asked for a bucket of water. Always ready to perform any duties asked of him, Willie se cured the bucket and walked out on a swinging board to draw the water from the creek.

As he reached down, with the bucket in hand, he lost his balance and fell over board. He held on to the bucket and as it filled with water its weight took him to the bottom of the creek. Just before he sank he uttered a scream which alarm ed his two friends and brought them to his assistance. Charles Ude, who was over 14 years old, bravely dived overboard to the assistance of his friend, but as he could not swim very well he could render no assistance. He became excited and soon 6ank to the bottom.

Augustus Ude, 18 years old, who had been in the kitchen in the main boat house, still had his clothing on, when he reached the front of the house. Quickly taking in the situation he dived overboard to the assistance of his brother and friend, who were, however, past all earthly aid. All Three Perish. It is believed that he was completely unstrung with excitement and could not control his limbs when he reached the water, as he did not reappear above the surface, although he was the better swim mer the three. A number of men were fishing from the bridge across the creek and hastened to he assistance of the boys, but could not reach the point where they went down in time to save any of them.

Grappling for the bodies was immediately begun and before nightfall all three were recovered. That of Willie Shultz was found near where he went down, which bears out the theory that he clung to the bucket until life left his little body. Charles Ude's body was recovered farther down the creek and just before evening the corpse of Augustus Ude, was. brought to the surface with the grappling irons several hundred yards in the opposite direction. The parents of line Shultz and Mr.

Ude were notified of the drownings short ly after they occurred and immediately went to estville. Both families are heart-broken over the sad ending of what promised to be a most joyful Fourth of July and a gloom was cast over the entire village of little boat houses which skirt the creek on either side at Westville. Coroner Parker, of Woodbury, took charge of the bodies and had them removed to an undertaking establishment. He will not hold an inquest, as the parents are satisfied that death was accidental. The three drownings yesterday make five that have occurred in the Westville boat house village within the past few weeks.

He then drew the weapon across bis own throat, dying almost lnime- ateiy. and His Silver Allies Get Through Nothing Lett of It Except the Name. Working Like Beavers for Their Man made, and it was found that nearly all the States were represented, either by dele gates to the convention or by men who had come here to work against "free sil ver." After it was ascertained that those present were entitled to remain the discussion ofthe situation began.

AH the proceedings were conducted in executive session, as those present an nounced that they wished to formulate a programme. The probabilities are that the meeting will be an interchange of views, but that no line of action will be adopted. All will be instructed to go on with the work of getting information and discovering weak points in the silver forces, but the programme and method of business will probably be mapped out by an executive committee, which will be in charge of the gold standard campaign during the convention. Mr. Whitney made the opening speech, and was followed by Mr.

Hill. But the conference, which at first looked as if it might be brief, showed signs before it had been in session an hour of being a protracted one. Senator Hill and Mr. Whitney but sounded the tocsin, and the others eagerly fell into line. Judge Moran of Illinois, made an impassioned speech and was heartily applauded when he said that the silver following in Illinois was only the lovers' fad: but it remained for John R.

Fellows, of New York, to feel the real pulse of the assembled men in a pointed way. Mr. Fellows made no speech ot platitudes. From the first he bitterlv attacked the silver men and the movement. He declared it against every princi ple of Democracy and termed it the fad of "wild fanatics." THE SITUATION IN CHICAGO Both Sides Determined to Fight the Battle to the Bitter End.

Chicago. July 3. Not since 1860, when the Democratic party met in convention at Charleston and split on the subject of slavery, has 6uch an irreconcilable difference of opinion existed on the great question in issue as now confronts the delegates who are assembling here for the Democratic convention. The situation which the Democrats faced then has its analogies in the one which they confront to-day. The Northern Democracy declaring for squatter sAVereignty, later at Baltimore nominated Stephen Douglas, while the seceding Southern delegates, declaring for the existence of slavery in the territories under Federal law, named John G.

Breckinridge. To-day the Democracy from the Aile-ghenies west to the Pacific, and from the Potomac south to the Gulf, except for the break in Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota, so far as its voice will be heard in the convention next week, stands solid for free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 against the equally solid gold standard Democracy of the East. Beaten at the Start At the threshold of the convention the gold standard Democrats are defeated two to one. New York and the little Democratic States of New Jersey, Connecticut, which have since the war always exercised a dominating influence in Democratic conventions, and have each four years named the candidate, on the theory that New York and the two small sister States were the battle ground and their votes essential to success, are to be sent to the rear. The Eastern Democracy may plead and cry aloud that a free silver candidate and a free silver platform means disruption, disaster and ruin, but their pleadings and their cries fall on deaf ears.

The silver Democracy is in the saddle, and will ride rough-shod over precedent and tradition if necessary to accomplish their purpose. That is the set determination of the leaders. They cannot be balked. They have won the battle at the primaries and purpose' to exact and enjoy the fruits of their victory. It is in vain that the gold standard men warn them of the certain loss of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut at the polls.

They will not listen to argument. They have reconciled themselves at the loss of those States, and have convinced themselves that in the great boundless Western nnd Middle States of the Mississippi Valley will be found electoral votes enough to offset the defection in the East. A Bolt Improbable. While there is neither probability nor even a possibility of a minority bolt and another candidate in the field, as there was in 1860, so far as the Eastern States are concerned, there might as well be, as support in the Electoral College from a State east of Ohio has been voluntarily relinquished by those in control for the Prospect of a Western and Southern alliance. THis remarkable change in the position of the National Democratic Convention toward New York and the Eat entails other remarkable conditions which will make the coming convention memorable, and.

if its deliberations are crowned with success in November, epoch-making in the history of American politics. At the door of the convention stand the representatives of two other national parties the Populists and the Silverites as well as the lieutenants of Senator Teller, who led the silver bolt at St. Louis. ready to pledge their support of their organization and their followers if the con vention will put aside the candidates from within the ranks of their party and chose as the standard-bearer in the coming fight the man who for so many years has been the commanding leader of the silver forces in the United States Senate Caucus Friends of Each Candidate The General Situation. Special Telegram to THE TIMES.

Chicago, July 3. The men who will control this convention have drifted 60 far from Democracy and all the principles that are dear to the hearts of Democrats that the old war horses of the party, who have fought its battles and shared in its victories in the past, are looking on to-night with breaking hearts. They are in a strange place nnd a strange atmosphere, and they feel no more at home than they would have felt at Mark Hanna's ratification meeting in St. Louis. They came here as representatives of one party and they will go away as members of another, for when Altgeld and Taubeneck and Turpie and Jones and Du Bois and all the rest of the silver leaders get through with the Democracy there will be nothing left of it except its name.

Not only will these men pledge the party to the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, but they are now preparing to hedge on the tariff question. Instead of the good old ringing demand for tariff reform and tariff for revenue only the platform this year is likely to condemn both the Wilson and the Mc-Kinley laws, and to suggest a tariff "that will not favor any class or any section." That the convention go further than this and indorse the Republican nominees was seriously suggested by John R. Fellows, of New York, who is to-night aiding Mr. Whitney in trying to save some of the pieces of the party in order that it can be put together four years from now. The silver men are also considering the nomination of Teller, who was a Republican up to last month and who has never been a Democrat.

His Republican boom ers are here in force. The Populists are openly taking part in the deliberations of the majority faction, and as a whole the spectacle presented in this city to-day is about as much like a Democratic convention as a potato is like a pumpkin. The controlling force is a mixture of minorities from every other party that has existed in this country during the past twenty-five years, and they are already quarreling among themselves over a division of the spoils. The Teller men are using every effort and argument to convince the white metal delegates that he is the most available man to head the ticket, but his nomination is improbable. Bland has the most votes pledged to him at present, but the Boies boom, when it reaches here on Sunday, will make the Iowa farmer the most conspicuous candidate.

Either one of these will be named, and the nominee for Vice President may be Claude Matthews, of Indiana; John R. McLean, of Ohio; Clark Howell, of Georgia, or Senator Daniel, of Virginia. There have been several conferences of the gold men this evening, and plans have been completed for a mass meeting of the delegates who favor sound money. It is probable that the entire Eastern vote will be cast for Ex-Governor Robert E. Pattison, of Pennsylvania, whose pictures are now being distributed all over town.

The opponents of free coinage will make a stiff fight in the convention, and the debate will be fierce from start to finish. GOLD MEN IN CONFERENCE -Whitney Calls a Meeting Shortly After His Arrival in Chicago. Chicago, July 3. The fight has now fairly begun. Wil.

liam C. Whitney and his associates arrived this afternoon and almost imme diately got actively to work. No sooner had William C. Whitney gone to his room than he wrote personaJ notes addressed to the leaders of all the States opposed to silver who had a representative here, These notes requested that the gold stand ard people meet him and others of the Eastern men in a parlor of the Auditor ium at 8 o'clock, so that some plan of action might be devised for the gold cam paign. At 8 o'clock Mr.

Whitney, accompanied by Ex-Mayor Grant, Ex-Governor Russell and several others of the Eastern men, appeared at the rooms. Senator Hill and Roswell P. Flower came in a little later, and Ex-Lieutenant Governor Sheehan, who is the present national committeeman from New York, came along right after. James J. Martin, John R.

Fellows, Senator Gray, of Delaware; Senator Smith, of New Jersey; Chairman of the New York State Committee Hinckley and several others followed, and the room soon filled np. Among the others going in were W. F. Harrity, John R. Read and Charles E.

Ingersoll, of Pennsylvania; John P. Hopkins, Washington Hesing, James S. Eckels and Ben T. Cable, of Illinois; J. G.

PREPARED TO FACE ANY CLIMATE For the Fifth Time In Its History the Ran dall Club Leaves Home to Aid the Democratic Party in the Nomination of Candidates and the Building of a Platform. They Are Blmetalllsts and Gold Men, But Have Promised Squire McMullen Not to Bolt if Free Coinage Wins They Have Been Drilling Industriously of late, and Can Parade Like Veterans The Squire is Concerned About Their Health and, Having Experienced Chicago Waather Before, Gives Them Pointer a to Underwear.

Their Instructions. On a special train which will leave the Broad Street Station at noon to-day the members of the Randall Club, of the Fourth ward, will travel to Chicago. Squire McMullen, who is president of the association, chief marshal of the parade, chairman of the committee on arrangements and director general of the whole affair, has ordered the members to assemble in their club rooms, which are over his saloon, at 631 South Ninth street, at 10.30 o'clock this morning. Headed by the State Fencibles Band they will march up Ninth street to Chestnut, to Broad, and thence twice about the City Hall to the depot entrance. If it rains they will proceed to the station in street cars.

The club has assisted in the nomination of four Democratic tickets already, and was a conspicuous feature at the two in augurations of Mr. Cleveland as Presi dent. They have a photograph of them selves standing in front of the Yhite House with high silk hats on the back of their heads, and they are the only political organization that ever played a band in the East Room of-the Executive Mansion These things have made the club famous, and it was not until Squire McMullen resolved to take the members out to Chicago that Mr. Whitney consented to wage war against the silver men. During the past few weeks the club has been drilled in the Squire 8 yard, the Squire acting as drill master, while Rob ert Smith Lister bore aloft a milk-white flag marked: "We honor the man whose name we bear." It is said that they march well.

The uniform, which was designed by the Squire, costs more than that which the Union Republican Club sported at St, Louis, and can be seen further. It con sists of a dark blue English serge suit. light cassimere hat, buff gloves, light silk scarf, cane and badge, rso russet shoes ill be permitted in line, and the use of tobacco is barred on parade. A Question of Costume. Dory Stulb's famous edict requiring the Union Club members to provide them selves with odd trousers is not incorpor ated is the Squires instructions to his men.

These instructions, nowever, nave been printed and sent to each member, and have created a good deal of comment nd criticism. One paragraph reads this ay: "The temperature being quite changeable at Chicago a full suit of underclothing should be provided, and in order to present a proper appearance at all times, as over twenty-four hours' time ill be spend on the cars ench way, a dus ter and extra pair of pantaloons should also be taken, and the regulation suit placed out of the way of dust and cin ders." The Squire said to a reporter yesterday fternoon that the additional luggage re quired by this order had been purchased, and that the outlook was favorable for a successful and profitable journey. Most of the members are bimetallists, but a few favor the single gold standard. None are for free coinage. The knowledge of this fact led the Squire to incorporate in his instructions the following paragraphs: Members of the association will remem ber, during their visit to Chicago, that they are attending a Democratic Convention as Democratic organization whose chief aim and object Is the success of the Democratic party In the election of the ticket selected; nd that, when the nominations are made, all Individual preference should be forgotten, and the action of the convention and the nominations It may, In its wisdom agree pon, should be hailed by every member Ith hearty good-will.

In their visit to Cincinnati in 1880, and President Cleveland. March 4, 1885, and the convention at St. Louis in 1S88, Chi cago Convention In 1892, Inauguration of President Cleveland, 1S93, the behavior and appearance of the association was such as to receive the highest encomiums and praise from the press and public at large. The repu tation thus made should be zealously guard ed by every member." There Will be No Bolt. The influence of the Squire with his men has curbed their restless spirits on the currency question, and there will be no bolt.

The Fourth ward will still be at David Martin's service when h.e wants it. The Squires aids are Moses Levi, Richard Hazard and Robert Smith Lis ter, and his adjutant is J. C. McCall. The club's special train will be made up of three Pullman cars, one dining car, one refreshment car and one combination car.

It will travel as a second section to the. Chicago limited, and is scheduled to reach the seat of trouble Monday afternoon. Headquarters will be established at the Tremont House, and the association will assemble on Monday evening at 8 o'clock to serenade the Pennsylvania delegates, lhe club will escort the Pennsylvania del egation to the convention hall on Tnes day and will leave Chicago two hours after the adjournment of the convention. Notice of the exact time will be posted in the hotel, and the Squire adds that those who do not show up will have to take chances on getting back." The list so far as it has been completed of those who are to make the trip is as follows: W. H.
