sILvER1TEs ALIVE IN MISSOURI.
st. LOUISA special to the Post-Dis-
patch from Lebanon says: Chairman
Farris, Of the Laclede county Democratic
committee, said to-day; II now have
ffty-two signatures, four short of ma
jority, of the chairmen of the county
Democratic committees to call for a
state convention on the silver question.
From correspondence / have, ! can rea-
sonably expect favorable action from
Andrew, Schuyler, Sullivan, Rails, Starks,
Vernon, Douglas, Bates, Buchanan, Stone,
Christian and Dent counties. He said
that during the coming week the four
counties necessary to complete the quo
rum would be secured. If the state COM
mittee then refuses to call convention,
prom pt action will be taken to secure
one otherwise.
INTERNATIONAL PLAN WILL FAIL.
London-The Berlin corresp pondent of
/ the Times says that the minister Of
finance of Wurtemberg declared that the
government was convinced that any at
tempt to meddle with the currency would
cause danger of most serious revolutions
in economic and financial affairs, and
none of the proposals made for raising
the price of silver while adhering to a
gold currency can be deemed likely to
attain the obje aimed at, and the gov
ernment was opposed to calling an inter-
national conference. The lower house
thereon by 81 to 20 votes adopted mo-
tion requesting the government to use
it's influence in the Bundesrath to retain
the gold currency. As Chancellor Won
Hohenlohe only promised to call con-
ference of all the federal states agreed to
such course it is believed Wurtemburg's
refusual will prevent the conference.
IN OHIO TOO, SILVER.
Carey, Ohio.-At the Democratic sena-
torial convention of the 35th district,
comprising the counties of Seneca, Wyan-
dotte and Crawford, resolutions were
adopted declaring for the free coinage Of
silver.
SENATOR SQUIRE VERY NON-COMMITTAL.
New York.-Senator Squire, of Wash.
ington, in an interview to-day on the
political situation, said: Harrison, Nc
Kinley, Reed and Allison are all able men.
What the next year will bring forth in the
way of settlement of the money question
no one can forecast. The 54th congress
has yet to cit. Reed is an able parlia-
mentarian and most brilliant man. As
tactician he Is the peer of any man liv-
ing. 1t is possible some concessions may
be made. Cleveland may not take the
stand of an extremist.

from Neosho, Kas., says: A bimetalllc
league was organized here last night by
