MISSOURI DEMOCRACY.

The State Convention at Kansas City De-
clares in Favor of Silver and Places a
Ticket In the Field.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-. May 1.-THE Mis-
souri, state democratic convention that
met in this city Tuesday, got through
with its work yesterday afternoon.
Some of the ablest men of the party
were in attendance at the convention.
among them Gov. Stone. ex-GOv.
Francis and Congressman Bland. Hall
and Tarsney. The committee on reso-
buttons had lively time and finally
brought in two reports on the silver
question, the majority, led by Mr..
Bland, demanding the free bimetallic
coinage of both gold and silver and the
restoration of the bimetallic standard
as it existed prior to the demonetiza
ton of silver in 1873. and should it be-
come necessary to readjust the stand
ard. The minority report, championed
by eX-Gov. Francis and several other
st. Louis delegates. favored the reaf-
firming of the Chicago platform and
the state platform adopted two years
ago. After a long fight the convention
adopted the majority report by large
vote. Judge Black was renominated
for the supreme court, w. L. CARING
ton for superintendent of schools and

OLATHE. Kan. May 2O.-There is less

than there was yesterday. Funston

votes between them, obstinately refuse
to listen to any compromise PROPOSE
tons. but are holding their delegates
moderately firm in line. Each declares
that he proposes to remain in the field
as long as the other. even if the con-
vention should remain in session all
summer.
Funston is willing that the conven-
ton should adjourn sine die, SO that he
may take his chances again before the
people of the district. but no other del
egation will join him. hence he is I'M
able to adjourn the convention.
Saturday afternoon the 529th ballot

Trouble In Southeastern Kansas District
Has Been Terminated.
PITTsBURG. Kan. May 21.-The pros
pective general strike in the southeast
ern Kansas district was brought to a
sudden termination Saturday after
noon at called meeting of the
arbitrating board held at the Hotel
Stillwen. This meeting was in
session from 1:3O to $40, when
the trouble was arbitrated upon
the sliding-scale schedule, based upon
mine-run coal, for s7H cents in sum-
mer for screened lump coal and 81 in
winter. This practically amounts to
the same schedule as was used before
the strike last summer 1t is an advan-
age to good miners, but of no use to
poor ones. This will include all mines
in the district except the Kansas 4
Texas and Santa Fee. 1t is almost
equivalent to the Santa Fe prices and
will be satisfactory to all the mines in
both Cherokee and Crawford counties.
The Kansas & Texas was not in the
meeting. and it is not known what ac-
ton they will take in the matter. 1t is
understood that, although the Western
Coal & Mining Co. was not represented,
it will abide by the result of the meet
ing.
Regarding the pay day, it was agreed
by the board to make it twice a month
after August 1. The contract on the
above schedule runs from May Fl, 1894,
to Nav 81. 1895.
