There continues to be much gossip respecting tho .adoption of a gold stan dard plank by the MeKinlcy men with out any substantial basis of fact be yond the incident mentioned in these dispatches of Mr. Hanna taking under consideration the suggested Kohlsaat modification of the Indiana platform. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Uas saehusctts, who it is thought may bo made chairman of the committee on resolutions, is expected to reach here Saturday, and upon his arrival it is pos sible that something more definite than the prevailing rumors may be arrived at as to tho probable financial twnd of tho nlatform.

Charles Foster, of Ohio, whose experi ence as sccrotary of the treasury under Harrison, gave weight to his vjevvs. The silver men are waiting for the arrival of Senator Teller with consid erable Impatience. A dispatch was re ceived Friday afternoon stating that Mr. Teller had just left Washington. This will bring him to St. Louis Satur day night. A caucus of silver men will bo held as soon as Senator Teller ar rives and a courso of action will be de cided upon. They will go into the con vention and make a stand for a free sil ver plunk, but further than this noth ing has been determined upon and will not be until Senator Tpller arrives and a conference with him is hold. Some. of the extremists say if they cannot carry a resolution of free coin age at 10 to 1, they would be in favor of voting with tho gold men in favor of a pronounced declaration in favor of a single gold standard, so as to have a clear-cut issue, and thus avoid tho am biguity of a straddle. Mr. Chauncey M. Depew, who ar rived in St. Louis Saturday morning, makes public the following telegram from Gov. Morton, declining In ad vance tho nomination for the vico presi dency: "BlilNK Cl.IFl', N. Y., Juno 13. To Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, St. Louis, Mo.: PI ease announce that I stated to you before you left New York that I would not under any circumstances ac cept a nomination for vice president. "Levi P. Morton."

"Pant Suits all wool' materials, dark and light wool suits; very nobby, well made ,, committee wcro assembling Saturday morning preparatory to a fourth day's siege in the matter of tho contesting delegations, there was an informal ex change of opinions regarding the ad visability of holding ono or more sessions on Sunday. It was admitted that the work of tlio body was badly in arrears and that unless means could bo found of expediting it, tho temporary roll would bo still in abeyance when it be came tho duty of Chairman Carter to call tho national convention to order on Tuesday. When tho senator from Montana originally issued his summons for . the committee to assemble at this, place, u week in advance of the date fixed for the convention, thciewas con siderable criticism of his cours'e, and it was said that tho committee ought to got through with the business be fore it in a couple of days. The developments have dumonstrated the wisdom of the national chairman's course. Although the committee has been in session for three days, sitting Awn- Plf Sgll SENATOR HOUSTON. Nl'.UUASKA. until 12 o'clock and later, scarcely more than half of the contests have been act ed upon, tho most important yet re main to be heard. Chief among them tho contests from New York. It has already been informally agreed that tho timo limit will not ba enforced aguirist the New Yorkers and the contest from this state Will, it is ex pected, occupy at least one, if not two, sessions of tho committee. Notwith standing the state of the calendar, however, it was apparent Saturday morning that strenuous ob'ootions would he offered to any proposition looking to the transaction of business Sunday, and some of the commit teemen went so far as to tay that they would cease to par ticipate in tho deliberations at the stroke of midnight Saturday night, no matter what might bo the pendin, question. Tlie coinmitteo is also har assed by the fact that its tenancy of the big club room on the parlor floor. in winch it has been holding its meet ings arbitrarily expires at six o'clock oaturuay night, iviien possession is taken by u visiting club from tho east, which engaged tho quarters several months ago. St. Louis, .Itine IS. Late Friday aft ernoon some very decided indications were given as to the couise which the MeKinlcy men would probably take on the financial question. Hitherto the Piatt men have shouted "sound money" and tho MeKinlcy men havo shouted "tarill" and neither side has manifested any disposition to adopt THE CONVENTION' HALL. tho war cry of the other. Now all this is changed and tho MeKinlcy men are sVouting finance. A suggested platform crafted by Mr. Kohlsaat. of Chicago, was sub mitted to Mr. llanna and other close friends of Major McKinley Friday, and was takcn under favorable considera tion. This proposed financial plank while following in tho lines of tho In diana platform, and goes ono important step further, and specifically declares for tho "gold standard." At tho same timo, however, that this proposi tion was submitted, tho sugges tion was made that if this platform were adopted by tho commit tee on resolutions It 6hould be with tho distinct understanding that when it was reported to tho convention by tho commltteo on resolutions, the chair man should entertain a motion to strike out tho words "gold standard," tho plank to bo so framed that this could be dono without interfering with tho context'or tho seasb. Such a motion being entertained, tho proposition would bo subject to debate and could be Unally settled by the convention on a test vote. It i's understood to bo Mr. Hanna's judgment that tho words "gold standard" ought not to appear in the platform. Bx-Sonator Piatt Friday issued over his signature the following statement: "Gov. Morton will bo placed in nom ination and cordially supported by his friends. Speaker Heed and Senator Allison will also receive tho votes of their supporters, all reports to the con trary notwithstanding. I am hopeful that the convention will recognizo tho wisdom of making Gov. Morton our presidential candidate and declaring unequivocally for a single gold stan dard. Ho is essentially the gold stan dard, as his iccord demonstrates. "From a cursory observation during my brief stay here 1 am sanguine that a majority of the delegates favor the continuance of the existing financial system, lis interpreted by republican administrations. The Now York dele gation will certainly do nil in its power to put a gold plank in the platform, for Now York is for gold." "T. C. Pl.Air." benator Allison's friends, who have hitherto remained so silent that the impression gained ground that lie had been withdrawn from the race, tire now assuming an aggressive attitude, and assert that he will be supported by vig orous oritoryaml many votes when'the convention proceeds to nominations. The Marquette club, of St. Louis, Friday received a reply from Gov. Mor ton, of New York, to an inquiry ad dressed to him, us to whether in the event of his election to the presidency he would make any discrimination against Roman Catholics. Gov. Morton quotes the explicit dec laration of his acceptance when nomi nated for governor as to the equal rights of all citizens and adds: "I' still adhere to the views therein expressed and can only add if I weie charged with the duty of administering the of fice ol president of the United States, I should endeavor to treat all classes of citizens without discrimination as to their religious belief.'' fcr Louis, June 13. C. W. Fairbanks, of Indiana, will be temporary chair man of the convention, and Senator John M. Thurston, of Nebraska, per manent chairman. Some of the In diana men made a vigorous protest protest against Fairbanks for tempo- WJ?J2zsg& j y REPUBLICAN CONVENTION GAVEL AND ITS INSCRIPTION'S. rary chairman, on tho ground that it would tend to further his candidacy for United States senator, and in this year, when the party in Indiana needs the aid of every man, it would not do to promote Fairbanks' iuterests as against tho other aspirants for Senator Voorhecs' seat. Their objection camo too late, however, and Mr. Fairbanks will assume tho gavel after Senator Tom Carter has called the convention to order. Concerning the permanent chairman ship, Senator Thilrston, when asked about it, said: "The chances arc that I will bo made permanent chairman of the convention. My friends have come to me and urged me to come to the front, and if I can benefit thq republi can party by doing so, I am in the hands of my friends. The permanent chairmanship is a position of high honor, and I w ill feel more than highly honored if it is conferred on me. I have been chairman of various conventions.- Each time tho honor was thrust upon me. I om nt tho service of tho republican party. "About'tho temporary chairmanship I can sco no reason for tho objection of some peoplo in Indiana to make Charles W. Fairbanks, of Indiana, temporary chairnlau. I do not think it will give him an unfair advantago over any ono in that state. Tho convention is held away from Indiana. If it was hold in that state it would bo different." A DELEGATE SHOT.
