LOUIS SIFTINGS The National Committee Gettin Down to Work on the Contest Cases. A NEW FINANCIAL PLANK Trouble Being Experienced Securing Quarters for Color cd Delegates. In LAST DAYS OF CONGRESS' St. Louis, Mo., Jane 10 With tbe arrival, tbis morning, of Mark Haona and party of lieutenants, the assembly at oooo, of tbe national committee for tbe purpose of adjudicating contests and preparing the temporary roll of preliminaries, may be regarded as hav ing commenced. Arrivals on the late trains, last night, and early tbis morn inc. are very numerous. Despite tbe assurances of tbe citizens' committee that arrangements had been made for ample accommodations, at tbe com mand of tbe colored delegates, tbe national oommittee will be requested to look into the situation, and appoint a sub-committee, with instructions to report not later than noon, to-morrow W hile most of the national committee. men are chary of expressing them selvcls in advance of the meeting, the . impression is abroad that that body way refuse to take cognizance of the matter, on the ground that it is cut of Its province, and belongs exclusively to the jurisdiction of tbe local com mittee. In tbis event, Judge Long, of of Floridn, will submit a resolution settirt forth that, inasmuch as it is evident that some delegates cannot se cure accommodotions in St. Louis, it is both nectssary and desirable that , the convention be held in another city ' This, it is thought, will have the effect ol forcing a settlement quickly. A signed statement, given theUalted Tress, last night, by national commit. teeraan M. H. de Young, of San Fran. ' Cisco, in which be deolared that, while the California delegates were instruct, ed for the free coinage of silver, they would not bolt tbe Cunvention in the event of the gold standard element be- iog supreme, is the leading topic of discussion tbis uorniog. The stand taken by tbe Californians is endorsed by Senator Sboup, of Idaho, who gave it eut flat-footed that, while his dele gation is purely free silver, it would submit to the dicision of the conven tion. It is noticesble, this morning, that delegates now on tbe ground from Mississippi and Louisiana, who, at home, are supposed to be ardent free Silverites, are talking sound . money and McKinley." Delegate Rentfro, of Texas,' of the 'Lily Whites," who has contest on his hands, is also loudly proclaiming that the seated delegates roro ltia state, no matter which fac tion, ft III be found voting for the Ohio man and a lean-cut declaration of sound money, David Manin, of Philadelphia, tho anti-Quay leader, and member of the national committee, registered at tbe Planter's at 11 o'clock, and went over to tbe headquarters at the Southern hotel. En route, be expressed the opinion that the platform would de clare for sound money, without strad dle or equivocation. The first session of the national com mittee lasted less than an hour. Chair man Carter called tbe members to or. der at 12 :15, in the olub room of the Southern hotel. At the roll-call, the Indian Territory alone failed to re spond. Senator Gear responded as proxy for James S. Clarkson, of Iowa, irom whom a telegram was receivod, saying that he had beeu taken ill at Poiladeiphia.while en route, and might not be able to get here at any stage of the proceedings. A motion to take up tbe question of Territorial representation, was ruled out by the chair, on the ground that the Territories must be reached in ptoper order. It was then decided to take up contests, beginning with Alabama this afternoon, and a recess, ' ' was taken " until 2 p in. As - the committeemen were dispersing, Mr, Macley announced that be hud received a large number of dispatches urging that on account of lack of couitepy accorded to tbe colored delegates, the convention be held elsewhtre. He added that while be could not speak for other hotels, he as authorized by tbe manager of tbe Southern to say that he would carry out his contract by receiving and en tertaining each and every delegate mho had reserved accommodations in Lis hi use, no matter what his color. Each member cf the national com mittee, as well as leading delegates on tbe ground, were furnished this after noon with a suggested monetary plank for tbe platform drawn up by Richard C. Kerens. It reads as follows; We believe our money should not he inferior to tbe. money of tbe most enlightened nations of tbe earth, and are unalterably opposed to every scheme which tureutecs to debase and tirpreciate our present monetary standard. Ve favo a reasonable use of silver as currency, but such use should be to the extent, and only under such well defined regulations that it parity with gold as a currency can be easily arid efficiently maintained. As consistent bi-bimetaliista, we oppose tb coinage of silver at a ratio of 1$ to 1, as the measure is fraught with cer tain disaster .10 all commercial inter ests, and would ba dettrumlve to the Interests of the wage earner, and in tbe abeocs of an international agree ment, tare to lead to silver monomst llism."
