The Secretary says the State of Illinois owns the lands under the navigable waters of Lake Michigan, within Its limits, and that the filling In by eny person or corporations not the owner of shore lands gives them no riparian rights. In any case he says the United States Government has no title, and therefore could convey none to any claimant. The second case Is that of Jacob Nine and others against N. K. Fulrlianks and others. The former tried to locate military bounty land warrants on 130 acres of accretion land north of the Chicago river, between the ori Inal rur-vc- y meander line and the present wat.--r line. The Secretary decides that the United States has no title to the land. The third case Is that of Peter T. Johnson, who joined with Rtreeter in the first mentioned application to locate Valentine scrip on fifty seres of accretion lands south of the Chicago river. It la rejected like the others for want of title by the United States Government.

L The Rocky Mountain News today published an editorial in which Mr. Thomas M. Patterson, editor of tlie newspaper, gives a full account of the pioueetllngs of the subcommittee of the committee on resolutions at the last Democratic convention relating to the financial plank. The consisted of Mr. Bayard, Senators McPherson, Vilas and Daniel, John I). C. Atkins of Tennessee, L. F. Garrard of Georgia, Mr. Jones of Missouri and Mr. Patterson of Colorado. Mr. Patterson says; When the plank was first read and analyzed, I suggested that It was uncertain, and gave room to cavil about its meaning; to remove this uncertainty 1 suggested tliat the word 'free' be Inserted before me words 'coinage of gold and sliver, etc. I distinctly stated that I would be content to omit tlie ratio for such coinage, leaving that to Congress; what 1 did want was the Democratic party clearly and unequivocally committed to true bimetalism. Senators Vilas and McPherson this, and so did Mr. Bayard. Each gave his reason, it was not that they were opposed to free coinage; on the contrary, they favored It, but the wurd 'free,' as applied to coinage, was so liable to be misunderstood in the East and Northeast that it would, through this Ignorance, lose the party many votes, which should not be allowed. Mr. Bayard was particularly earneat In asserting his fealty to silver, and told In graphic and pathetic language the services he had performed fur the white metal.'' Mr. Patterson says that after considerable dlscusaion, Mr. Atkins, a professed blmetalist, offered the following substitution for tlie monetary plank: We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country, and to the coinage of both gold and sliver for tlie owners thereof without discriminating against either inetal or charge fur mintage," etc. I realized in a moment, continue! Mr. Patterson, "that It was a declaration for free coinage as clear and emphatic as though the word 'free' were used a dozen times; but before committing myself I turned to Senators Vilas and McPherson and Mr. Bayard, and asked, What do you think of It, .xney wished to consider it" He then conferred with Mr. Daniel, who approved of the substitution, and who said. In response to thu asoertiun that the other side would not accept It: Yes they will. They are honorable gentlemen, and when they say they favor free coinage, and would declare openly for It but that the word 'free is dangerous and would lose the party immy votes in the East and Northeast, they mean It. This amendment avoids their only objection, and they will adopt it. Mr. Daniel then urged the acceptance of the substitution, and was much surprised when Senator Vilas announced cnMss-ra'iii-4linaicatMr? that they had decided against accept- ing it, claiming that the original plank was a declaration for free silver. Mr. Atkins also voted against the substitution. Patterson states that Mr. Whitcommittee-rooand, answer to a question, was told of the effort to have the word free" inserted in the monetary plank. Mr. Patterson continues.' "He studied the proposition a moment or two, and In a very decided tone, exclaimed: 'That's a they should not object to that. Let me talk with them about It. He called Senators Vilas and McPherson aside, and talked with them quite earnestly for fully five minutes. He returned apparently quite disappointed, and said: 'It's no use, they object to the word free because it is a very objectionable word in the Northeast In connection with money, and to adopt It would lose the Democracy that section of the country. "I then explained the Atkins amendment. whereupon he again said, In most emphatic language: 'They will certainly consent to that. I think they will. Thats a I will talk to them about It. Again he held an earnest conversation with the senators. When he returned, looking more crestfallen than at first, he remarked: 'Its no use, they will consent to no change.' The fight before the full committee was reported In the press at the time. Mr. ney came to the In vote-gette- r; vote-gette- r. I advocated the amendment Inserting the word free In the plank. Mr. Bayard and Senator Vilas made several earnest speeches against It. The amendment was lost. I carried the amendment Into the convention; it was again defeated. 1 became convinced that Senators Vilas and McPherson, of State Bayard, with represented Mr. Cleveland's views, and that they fully understood each other. The money plank was a trap with which to catch free coinage Democrats for Mr. Cleveland. I made up my mind I would not walk Into the trap with my eyes open, and so, as soon as possible, 1 repudiated Mr. Cleveland, and did what I could for Gen. Weaver. BLOW TO BIMETALISM. London Times on the Effect of Bal four's Statement London, Sept. 2. An editorial In the Tlmea this morning comments upon the grave blow which Mr. A. J. Balfour's statement Is to the hopes of the German and American blmetalist. Mr. Balfour, it will be remembered, stated In the House of Commons that he did not believe that an international bl metallic conference would result In an agreement on a ratio. The Times says; The American blmetalists are made of sterner stuff than the Germans, and will therefore continue tu agitate; but It Is leu likely than ever that they will carry the country with them. There seems no chance that either political party will allow Itself to full under the sway of the silver men. The recent publicity of the alms of the bimetallic parly here has been a revelation anil a warning. We truat the trade revival now in progress will complete the cure and that we shall hear less and leu about bimetalism from gny quarter. for the Cause. Salt Lake City, Utah, September 5. lion. it. C. Chambers, chairman of the executive committee of the Bimetallic Liiiun, who, wuh Laruiie, lias been proselyting In the lar. tar West, returned to the city yes- lei day ana is again directing tne affairs of tlie Ontario and Daiy mining cunijomles. Ills return will be followed of mat next week. Barline by Judge To a Tribune reporter Mr. Chambers aid yesieruay that he found sentiment in Sun Francisco very much mixed. Tha banker, demanding nign prices for tne contents of his money chest. Is for a single gold standard. In the same category is the capitalist. Both are arrayed against expansion of any kind; both against a money for the masses. Mr. Chambers also found some of the friende of silver overcome by Intimidation. Thle was conspicuously betrayed among merebante, some of whom had been assigned to places on committees. When these committees were convened and the roll called they were found almust uniformly wanting. A canvass was made among them. Had they chunged their minds and were they affiliating with the guldbugsT No; only in so lar, said Chairman Chambers, as prudence required. Many of them were the victims of what is characterised by the banker as accommodations" accommodations fur which the accommodated are required to pay at the rate of 1 and 1V8 per cent per month for hla accommodations. Times are hard, collections Indifferent, trade slow In ral- lying, however, and tlie "accommodating" gentleman who sits at the cashier's desk must nut be antagonised. It might precipitate a chapter of assignment more appallng than that which followed the demonetisation of silver. So It goes, said Chairman Chambers, but It can be relied on that these merchants will be on tbe side of silver wiien the drum beats and the hour for action Is at hand. California for these reasons will not raise much money for the equipment of the silver army. What Californians good muny friends of bimetalism too are agitating Is a new party. In Chairman Chamber's opinion this will not do. A new party, as he views It, would be disaster. The restoration of silver must come at the hands of one of the old parlies who must be prevailed on to provide fur It in their platform. Montana, Idaho, Utah and Colorado, aid Mr. Chambers, have now contributed to tbe fund provided for by the executive committee. Wyoming and New Mexico are both delinquent, although there is no doubt In the chairman's mind that they will be heard from In a He mle fall amounts.u at hie time, and says the committee will continue to exert Its energies for the first great battle to be contested at the various State conventions at which delegations will be elected to the National conventions. The friende of silver will be present at these, and should they not assemble at the National conventions as a majority their strength will be such that It cannot be Ignored. Concerning the bonanzas over which he has presided for so many years and while so many millions have poured from their vaults, Mr. Chambers pronounces both In Improved condition, a fact that is being emphasised by each day's output He will leave for Park City this week. . . . .
