Ha. Not Asked for Time,

1t Is stated that Mr.. H. s. Barbour has
not asked that the date fixed by the court
for his reply to the demands of the heirs
of the estate Of James L. Barbour for his
resignation from the administratorship be
extended, with view to an amicable set
tlement of the difficulty. 1t was said today
by Mr.. Barbours friends that while he
naturally desires an amicable adjustment
of the controversy, he thinks the injury
which he claims has been done him by re-
cent publicity given to charges against his
management of the estate can only he rem
edied by a resort to the courts or an un-
qualified acquittal by the parties at issue.

Question of Free Raw Materials.

The democratic hope is that in some way
the eastern republicans may be pinned
down on the question of free raw materials.
the contention being that as respects that
matter the manufacturers Of the east, re-
gardless Of parties, are as one. And II the
tariff question assumes any Importance at
all in the next Congress the realization Of
that hope ought not to be difficult.

through Mr.. Morgan'S efforts In this
way the syndicate prevented an eXporta-

Have No Information.

Washington. June 25.-Treasury Of
ficials have no information of the syn
dictate to deposit tomorrow the entire
amount of foreign gold due under the
contract. They say, however, they
would not be surprised if this was
done, as the contract permits them TO
deposit any amount in excess eof 30O,-
600 ounces per month whenever they
see fit
Up to this time the officials have no
criticisms to make Of the course pur-
sued by the syndicate, for so far as
they know every obligation contained
in the contract has been complied
with. AS to the rumor in New York
that the government has permitted a
modification of the contract, allowing
the syndicate to deposit more than
half Of the whole amount in domestic
gold. Assistant Secretary Hamlin
said:
There has been no modification of
the contract. The provision that one
half of the gold to the amount of the
loan shall be brought from abroad is
TO be carried out. Some of the i'm
portations of the foreign gold were
made in advance of the time stipu-
lated in the contract, but this did not
involve any modification of the con
tract
Mr.. Hamlin however, in the absence

VEST ON SILVER.
THERE MUST BE A SETTLEMENT
OF THE QUESTION.
Either a Gold Standard Must Be
Adopted For Good, or Else the
MINIS Opened to the Coinage of
Silver.

Sweet Springs, No, June Ex-senator
Vest, who is stopping at his cottage
near here, had this to say on the
money question in its relation to the
country as a whole, and especially to
Missouri:
There must be a settlement of the
silver question without equivocation.
We must determine to adopt the gold
standard permanently, retire the
greenbacks and perpetuate the ma
tional banks with their paper based
exclusively on gold, or we must open
our minis to silver.
1.-THE financial servitude which now
exists on the part of the United States
to foreigners should cease. Nothing
could be more degrading than the pres
ent conditions.
Il believe in real bimetallism-the
use of both gold and silver as standard
money-but if we must have one metal
or the other, I would take silver, for
we would then at least be Independent
instead of being the tail of the Eng
fish kite, and the hopeless victims of
the ROthschilds syndicate"
When asked his opinion about cal
ling a state convention of the Demo-
cratic party in Missouri to consider
the silver question Senator Vest said
he believed a majority of the party
desired the convention and assumed
that the state committee would obey
the demand of the majority. The mat
ter has gone so far that more irrita-
ton would come from the refusal to
call the convention than anything the
convention could possibly do.
Il do not know that / shall attend
the convention" he continued, IF in
the state, for its object has been pub
lished TO be the consideration of the
action of the states delegation in Con-
gress on the silver question. In any
event, absent or present, in the Senate
or out of it, 1 am against the single

May Have to import Gold.

The payment into the sub-treasury
yesterday of S6,5O0000 is, according to
the Evening Post, believed to be proof
that the government has agreed to a
modification or change in the con-
tract with the syndicate so far as re-
quiring the syndicate TO import
$50, 100000 of sold, but as the syndi-
cate managers admit that their con-
tract does not expire until October,
and that they are required 10 do all in
their power in the meantime TO main
tain the government gold reserve,
they may yet have to import gold I'M

tinues:
Thus far the syndicate has imported

ported gold in the assay office to its
credit. and has deposited in the treas
ury altogether more than $66,OOO,OOO of
gold.

The police understood that she had
given orders that the Army should not
stop again until cases now pending
against officers had been appealed to
the county count, and at the request
Of her attorney the case was dismissed
and the fine RENTED. Last night the
Army again stopped and today Captain
Cox was in the police court and fined

friends present, who offered to pay
the fine, or to sign an appeal bond,
but she declined to accept them and
insists on going to- Jail. The police
magistrate declined to commit her

provides shall be allowed for making
an appeal. The Army stopped again
tonight and there are likely to be
some more arrests. The town is di-
