lar song, Ma Apgeline, sung by Miss Ethel

the evening, which was an eloquent plea
for the Retail Clerks National Protective

tuous applause. After another selection
by the orchestra, Mrs. Ii. M'Kay sang q
vocal solo with pleasing effect. Miss Jessie
Picket delighted every one with jolly rec.
itation, after which a whistling solo, The

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
A very interesting piano recital was given
last night at the Blanchard-F Fitzgerald mu-
sic ball by the pupils of Herr Thilo Becker,
This accomplished pianist and successful
teacher has only been a resident in this
city for comparatively brief period, but
already has established a most enyiable
reputation for himself. The excellence of
his method and the influence of his fine
musical conception were evidenced
throughout the work of his pupils. Mrs,
Botsford is already well-known as an ac-
compliehed pianist. but showed last night
. very distinct advance in her studies by a
really brill rendering of the first two
movemezts of Grieg's concerto in minor.
The dizdculties of execution were me. with
remarkable facility and power, while moth
Ing was lost In expression. A sympathetic
and graceful accompaniment by Herr
Becker lent additional charm to the num-
Der.
A little lady of but seven summers car
ried oil the next honors of the evening; it
y an unkind mistake to term PaIoma
6chramm prodigy; she is charming and
and It her precocity is not unduly pressed
will make a mark for herself. Miss Mir
lam Barnes was heard to great advantage
IN several numbers, and particularly dis
ttnguished herself in Liszts Rigoletto Par
aphrase. Miss Gertrude Paine started
exceedingly we'll in a novelette, foom Schu-
mann's op. 80, and with more experience
In playing In public will do herself further
Justice. Misses Katherine Watson and
Kathleen Noonan also gave admirable ex-
1ibitions OF their powers and progress.

DELEGATES COMING EARLY.
Hotel Keepers Surprised at the Num-
Der of Arrivals.

ST. LOUIS, June 1J-The incoming
crowds on the late trains last night and
those Of the early morning were so
numerous as to take by surprise the
hotel people and the local Committee
cf Arrangements who, going by the re-
ports from different parts of the coun-
try, had been led to believe that it
would be late in the week before the
visitors would be very much in evil
dence. Before the breakfast hour was
over this morning, however, four pages
Of freshly written autographs had been
added to the convention register at the
Southern, about the same number were
recorded at the Planters and the Lin
dell, and in the rotundas were the same
ever changing crowds, the same discus
sions, whispering confabs and button
holing, and other incidents that are the
invaria.ble accompaniments of a rally
of political cheftains.
There were a score or more of old
friends and acquaintances at the Union
Station TO welcome the head center"
of Major McKinley's campaign, Mark
Hanna, when the Bee Line train from
Cleveland pulled in at $50. With him
were General w. Mckinley Osborne of
Boston, the Majors cousin; Myron T.
Herrick and Colonel Sylvester Ever
EFT, delegates from Cleveland, with NJ
Hahn of Mansfield and Oscar r. Meyer
of Portland, Or. Before he had time to
register at the Southern Hotel, Mr..
Hanna was the center of a group of
other distinguished Republicans, which

FINANCIAL QUESTION.
Monetary Plank Drawn Up by Rich.
ard G.. KerenS.

ST. LOUIS, June 10.-Each member
of the National Committee as well as
the leading delegates on the ground
was furnished this afternoon with a
suggested monetary plank for the plat
form drawn up by Richard C. Kerens.
1t read as follows:
I'VE believe that our money should
not be inferior to the money of the most
enlightened nations of the earth, and
are unalterably opposed to every scheme
that threatens to debase or depreciate
our present money standard. We favor
the reasonable use of silver as currency,
but such use should be to the extent
only and under such well defined regu-
lations that its parity with gold as cur
rcncy can be easily ard efficiently main
tanned
"As consistent bimetallists, we are
opposed to the independent free COIN
age of silver at ratio of IS to / as
measure fraught with certain disaster
to all commercial interests, destructive
to the interests of the wage-e Garner,
and in the absence of international
agreement sure to lead to silver mono
metallism."
Mark Hanna is already taking a hand
in the financial fight, and has set on
foot strong movement for a compro-
mise. This afternoon he sent for a
number of the Southern delegates who
are known to be friendly to Mckinley,
and urged them not TO push their de-
nlands for gold plank, He fears big
detection in the West, and the whole
power of the Ohio organization will be
used from this time on to prevent the
absolute overriding of the free coinage

GENERAL STRIKE ORDERED.
Timers in the Colorado Coal Fields
Dissatisfied.

DENVER ColD, June 1O-Mass
meetings of union coal miners have
been held in several towns in the Ignite
field north of Denver to-day, and reso-
lutions calling for a general strike of all
miners there have been adopted The
miners in several mines have been on
strike for some time, in an effort to
force the operators to live up to the
old agreement relati to wages, and to
secure the reinstatement of several
leaders who left work to attend min
ers' picnic, when positively ordered by
their employers not to do so.
BY endeavoring to import colored la
Dor from Kansas, and by adopting an
oppressive plan of operation, the mine
operators tried to outwit the miners.
and this general strike ordered to-day
has the purpose of checking such ac-
tons. The union is supplying the strik-
ers with rations, and they declare they
will fight against the importation of
cOlored help

COLORED DELEGATES.
Several of the Hotels Have Offered
Them Accommodations.

ST. LOUIS, June 10.-The question of
hotel accommodations for the colored
delegates reached a crisis this after
noon, and a speedy solution was de-
manded by those committeeman having
the matter in charge. Manager Lewis
OF the Southern Hotel was appealed to,
and after a hasty consultation with a
number of hotel propretcrs the follow
ing statement was given out:
ITO the National Republican Commit
tee: In regard to accommodations for
cOlored delegates to the Republican

Mems League of this city to be fur
nIshed by the hotels of st. Louis, am
authorized to say that the Southern Ho-
tel. the ST. Nicholas Hotel, the Lindell

up to that promise in spirit and letter,
and will make no distinction whatever,

Republican Convention equal rights
and privileges. Respectfully,
