Ex-Secretary Teller ras present and addressed the convention conven-tion on the silver question, advocating its free, unlimited coinage. The United States steamers Svatara and Yantic, bearing about $10,400,000 in silver coin, have entered Chesapeake Bay and will probably arrive in Washington Washing-ton to-day.

The English speaking people of Montreal Mon-treal are now awake to their danger and demand protection from the Board of iieaun, wnich is unable to do anything from incompetency. Not half the hospital hos-pital accommodation necessarv has been provided.. The health authorities admit that there are probably 2,000 cases in the city. A movement is on foot to have the government remove the present board in favor of one which will face unpopularity and save the city. Boyle O'Reilly, editor of the Boston Pilot, says that Sullivan's programme will be carried out and that the Irish-Americans Irish-Americans are one in Irish affairs. There appears to be extraordinary activity throughout the country in raising election funds for Parnell.

General Rosecrans has declined the invitation of the Ohio Democrats who wanted him to take part in the present campaign. As 60on as President Cleveland Cleve-land returned from his vacation General Rosecrans called upon him to ask if public pub-lic officers were allowed to take part in political campaigns.

John L.. Sullivan left tho city this afternoon at 5 o'clock for Harrisburg, Pa., says a New York dispatch of the 22d, where lie is to open with Lester & Allen's variety company in an ancient Gladiator posing scene. He is to receive $700 per week. He is bound by an iron-clad contract con-tract with them, and cannot appear in any sparring exhibitions without his manager's consent. He says he is still the champion, and will fight Ryan and Burke and McCaffrey, one after another, in a room with ten spectators, each to pay $100, and if he don't knock them out they can divide up the stakes and door receipts. He wound up his last night here with a grand drunk and spent about $1,000 for wine. An immense popular meeting was held in London last night, at which orations ora-tions were delivered by Messrs. Brad-laugh, Brad-laugh, Morley, Chamberlain and others. The hall in which the meeting proper was held was packed by an audience of 7,000 persons, and outside the building fully 20,000 more were assembled. The utmost good .humor prevailed. Chamberlain Cham-berlain was twenty minutes in getting through the crowd. He made a slashing election speech, the only new and important im-portant point, in which was his vehement declaration that he would never become a member of a cabinet which did not adopt reform measures, including a reform re-form of the taxation laws, free elementay education and the acquisition of land by kcal authority in order to create small tenants. One of the features of the evening even-ing was Newman Hall's fulsome tribute to the Royal family. His remarks brought forth a storm of derision which lasted fully five minutes. . |
