Senators Vest and Cockrell will head

Stone, who is a strong free silver man.
Marion Bntler, the Populist senator
from North Carolina, will be here but
will not speak. W. II. Harvey, anthor
of '^Coin's Financial School," declined
nn invitation to come on the plea that he
was busy preparing a debate to be had
with Koswell G. Hnrr, of Michigan, but
promised to come to Memphis* later on
and address the Bimetallic League. Ex
Representative Bland, of MIsrouH, this
morning sent his declination by tele
graph. \ ?* f
Later this afternoon, the time for
'? opening the silver convention, was
changed from 10 o'clock to 2 p. m.
Thursday's, ^program has not been ar
\ ranged definitely. The presentation of
resolutions will l>e the main feature of
the second day. The order of business
for tomorrow will be us fotypws: Wel
rotne a(Mrfg? by Col. Casey Young, of
Memphis; selection of a ' permanent
chairman and secretary; selection of
?Ice presidents and appointment of a
.committee on resolutions.
TKe dejegates were gathering tonight
( , !n great numbers. They are coming
on trains, wagons and muledvack. The
latter are from the Tennessee mountain
connties. In the part of the country
they belong nothing but free silver
goes. .
Every Southern State, a few Weat
ern States. Pennsylvania and two Ter
ritories will be represented. The sliver
producing States will send delegations.
? W. J. Bryan of Nebraska, will come
with the I/onisiann delegation.
It was decided thla afternoon that
Senor J. K. Jonea, of Ark., be given
the chairmanship of resolutions Instead
of the chairmanship of the convention,
position for which he was at first
slated. Senator David Turple of In
diana, will be permanent chairman at
Senator Jones's request. Mr. Jones
bellied that It would be better to
u man from one of tho States
of doubtful Issue In presidential elec
tions Tor chairman than a Southerner.
He Is sure there will not be any trou
ble In. swinging the^ South Into line'
on the white metal'. To the list of
speaker* has been added the name of
Marten Hutler. the Third party man
from North Carolina, so the Populists
In the convention will be In fact as
well as In name.
Afoong the- late arrivals are Gov.
Tillman and party of South Carolina,
eg-Oovernor Kagle and Gov. Clark, ot
Arkansas. The probabilities are that
will be an overflow meeting to
morrow at which Senator Walthall
and others will speak.

Ity Southern Associated Press.
'Washington. D. C., June 10. ? The In
terstate commerce commission has jnst
submitted its seventh statistical report.
It covers the (fiscal year 181)4 and com
pletes the preliminary statistics pub
lished last year. The first part of the
report covers the last four months of
the Columbian "Exposition, during which
time there was an increased passenger
traffic. The second part covers a period
of wide-spread business depression. The
third, commencing June 30, when
103 roads, operating upv^anfcr'of
miles of line nnd representing about o"Pe
fourth of the total railway capitaliza
tion. were In the hands of receivers.
The effect of these conditions is a'p.
patent in nearly all of the figures pre
. sepfed. The total railway mileage In the
. CM tod States was 178.708, an increase
during the year of 2,2417 miles. The in
crease during the previous year was
4.107. The State of Pennsylvania shows
nn . Increase xof 800.20 - miles: Florida,
248; North Dakota. TO5; Ohio. r1 84;
Georgia. 102: Maine, 125; Missouri, liW>:
West Virginia. 117; and Minnesota 110
miles. .
During the year 1.510 Womotives and
30.380 caVs were <Htetl up with train
brakes, and 1,107 locomotives and 34.
180 cars wero ?, fitted with automatic
couplers. Wldlo the gain in the use of
troth of these safety appliances is in
excess' of the increase of equipment, 74
per 'cent, of the total equipment are still
without train brakes an<) 72 per cent,
without automatic couplers. The law
requires that all equipments shall be
supnlied with these safety appliances
beforp January, 1808.
The totnl number of railway employes
On June .10. 1804, was 770.008. a de
crease of 03.004 nnd less than in nny
year sinco. 1800. ^
The total amount of reported railway
capital of June 30. 18J>4. was JF 10,700.
812, an inerense of $200,238,4|03 . The
gnwH earnings of the railways for the
year show a decrease of $147,300,077
or 12 per cent.r 1.182 railway employes
