PLAN OF THE ANTS
Fixing Up a Scheme to Defeat
HarriSOn's denomination.
Blaine to Be Nominated. Then Decline, When
Sherman Will be Pushed
Through.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
INDIANAPOLIS, May 13.-The plans of the
opposition to President Harrlson's re-
nomination were fully developed here to-
day through a man who Sunday evening
met Senator Platt of New York and Chief
Rathbone of the government secret SER
vice at Cincinnati, where they had been in
consultation with the leading Ohio politi-
clans. According to this authority, the
plan of the ants is to secure Blaiue's nom
ination atthe Minneapolis convention and
then adjourn the body till Blaine can be
notified of its action and his reply be re-
ceived. 1t is believed he will decline to be
the candidate, but the action of the con-
vention will have demonstrated his popu-
larity and the intensity of the opposition
to Harrison, and the latter's friends will
be completely demoralized when the con-
vention again assemblies to make nomi-
nation. At this juncture the name of Sena-
tor Sherman is to be sprung as
BLAINE's CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT,
and it is believed he will be able TO secure
the entire strength OF the opposition to
Harrison.
Friends of Sherman and Foraker are
said to be in the scheme, as Sherman
nomination will take him out Of the Senate
and the place will then be open to Foraker.
Ii is claimed Sherman really desires to re-
tire from the Senate, and that he will re-
sign if nominated for the presidency with
out waiting sfor the issue of election, and
that Foraker would enter the Senate at
once.
Platt is said to have promised the solid
support of the New York delegation to the
scheme, both to nominate Blaine and sup
port Sherman when Blaine shall have de-
clined the nomination. The man who
makes this statement says that imme
diately upon reaching New York PIatt de-
clared that Sherman would be nominated
at Minneapolis, though he denied his visi
to Ohio had possessed any political signih.

ITALY AND AUSTRIA ACCEPT.
The President Has Received Their Acceptance

The President Has Received Their Acceptance
to Participate in the Conference.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-President Harri-
son has received from Italy and Austria
acceptances of the invitation to participate
in the international monetary conference.
The acceptance OF Italy is especially pleas
ing to the administration, IS on account of
its position as the head of the Latin Union
it will influence the remaining nations TO
join the conference.
Some talk is caused by the fact that the
replies to these invitations are slow COM
ing. This delay is caused by the fact that
the invitations were sent by mail instead
of cable, as intended. Replies from re-
naming nations will probably be received
shortly. 1t is the belief of those best &C
quainted with the progress of the negota-
lions of the international monetary confer
ence that it will convene about July l.

Especial to THE HKRALD-Examiner Dispatch
NEW YORK, May 13.-The most interest
ing points in the Astor will are the omis-
sion to give anything to Mrs. Coleman
Drayton, and the munifcent provision made
for John Jacob Astor. The bulk of the es-
tate goes to this young man, Mr.. Astor's
only son, part of 1t tied up and part abso-
lutely at his disposal.~Not until he is thirty
years old is the young man to receive all of
his absolute estate. That part OF which he
has only the use for life he is to hand over
to such heirs of his body as he may choose TO
select when it comes his time to make q
will. Should he not have any other issue
than the son, William Vincent Astor, born
few months ago, this son would receive
all of this estate in remaidner. However,

will be hard to beat in the sweepstakes for
three year olds on Monday.
Maidstone was the first horse engaged in
the handicap to work in the afternoon. He
| had a good gallop for pipe opener, and
was then sent 10 the mile and quarter

until seven furlongs were covered, when

The letter adds: while it has always

per money the present silver coin can be
produced at a profit of SO per cent, and a
coin that cannot be detected.
Precaution gainst Counterfeiting.
This Is true of silver moneys, whether
foreign or American. Now, my proposition
is to either withdraw the present silver
money before the excess becomes so large
that it will bankrupt the government to
redeem it, or combine with foreign powers,
who are equally in danger, and make the
old standard of value of 81. 1923, which will
make coin that cannot be counterfeited

is easily detected, sad for which the gov

AN IMPROVED SILVER COINAGE.

Proposition to Make 1t for The Govern
ment for Ninety Cents Per Dollar
BUTTE, Mont, Dec. S.-A strikingly sug-
gestive letter was yesterday sent to Secre-
tary Foster, of the United States treasury
department at Washington, by Superin-
tendant Allen, of the Butte and Boston
mining company OF this city The letter is
an offer to make any amount of much bet
ter silver dollars for 80 cents apiece than
are at present in use. Mr.. Allen takes the
position that counting silver at IS cents per
ounce the intrinsic value of silver dollar
is only 657l cents. He would put in each
dollar 400 grains OF pure silver, whereas the
present dollar only contains 3'l14 grains.
