TIE NEW YORK POST IS PLEASED,
The Money Plank Meets With Dfstiu-
EuiSheI Acuuiescence

The Money Plank Meets With Dfstiu-
guished Acquiescence.
NEW YORK, June 17-Regarding the
financial plank of the ST. Louis convention
the Evening Post SAYS:
THE convention has adopted. or will to-
day adopt, a gold-standard platform BY
taking this course 1t will make the money
question the real issue Of the campaign, as,
indeed. it would have been even if the con-
vention had attempted to straddle 1t as the
two previous conventions did.
1T is fair to say that this declaration is
not dodge. The talk about International
bimetallism has familiar sound and is
slightly ludicrous, but Is harmless for the
reason that the thing proposed is impossi-
bic. Until this impossible thing takes place
the platform says that the existing gold
standard must be preserved 1t says also
that all the obligations Of the government
must be fnviolably maintained on that
basis.
THE republican platform is as unambig-
uous for gold as the other one can be for
silver. AS the expected purpose of the
democrats to make silver platform pre-
vented the republicans from adopting
straddle, so the platform of the latter will
prevent the democrats from indulging in
that diversion

SUNK WITH ALL on BOARD.
An English Steamer and $50 Lives
Lost.


LONDON, June IA dispatch received
here by Lloyds from Ushant, near Brest,
France, at $40 pm. says that a steamer.
supposed to be the Drummond Castle, Brit
ish, of London, has gone down near Ushant
with three hundred and fifty persons On
be ard Of her. Two men were picked up by
fishermen. The Drummond Castle was of
about 2.300 tons register.
The Drummond Castle was from Cape
town, and was last reported at Las Pal
mas, Canary Islands, on June II, Friday
last She was commanded by Capt. n. W.
Pierce.
The owners of the Drummond Castle con
firm the report that she has been wrecked.
The Drummond Castle, for London, col
lided at midnight with an unknown steam
er and sank three minutes later with l44
passengers and 1G3 officers and crew on
board. Two men were picked up floating
On some wreckage by fishermen off Ushant
near which point the steamer went down.
1t is hoped, however, that some of the pas
sengers and officers escaped in the boats.
Tugs have been sent cut to the scene of
the disaster i'm the hope of picking up sur
vivors. The fate of the steamship with
which the Drummond Castle coliided is not
known, and it is hoped she may be afioat
and some of the passengers and crew of the
Castle liner are on board her.

The New Policemen.

The Commissioners are preparing to ap-
point the fifty new policemen provided for
under the new appropriation bill. In fact.
the civil service commission notified the
Commissioners that examinations were be-
ing conducted today to judge of the appli-
cants' fitness for the position.
The greatest interest in the new appoint
ments is the fact that there will be ten pro-
motions from the present force to the high
er grade. Word was sent to the lieutenants
of all precincts today by Commissioner
Truesdell, through the major of police,
directing them each to submit a list of ten
names whom they recommend for promo
ton. AS there are nine precincts, the Com
missioners when they make the promotion
will have list of ninety names from which
to select the ten men.

aker TO consider the financial plank last
night at ST. Louis adopted the following:
The subcommittee on resolutions resolve
to recommend to the committee on resolu-
tions the following financial plank:
The republican party is unreservedly for
sound money. 1t caused the enactment of
the law providing for the resumption of
specie payments in 1879. Since then every
dollar has been as good as gold.
I'VE are unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our currency
CT impair the credit of our country. We
ale, therefore, opposed to the free coinage
of silver except by international agree
ent with the leading commercial nations
of the world, which we pledge ourselves to
promote, and until such agreement can be
obtained the existing gold standard must be
preserved. All our silver and paper cur
Iency now in circulation must be MAIN
tanned at parity with gold, and we favor all
Measures designed to maintain inviolably
the obligations of the United States and all
cur money, whether coin or paper, at the
present standard, the standard of the most
enlightened nations of the earth.'
Senator Teller of Colorado offered four
propositions in the subcommittee. First,
for free and unlimited coinage at the ratio
of 16 to /: second, for the free coinage of
the American product: third, that protec-
tion is impracticable unless free coinage of
silver is adopted, and the fourth for the
tariff on all foreign silver imported into
this country. All of these propositions We're
voted down, Mr.. Teller being the only man
who voted in the aff1rma tive on any propo-
sition looking to the recognition of silver.
Mr.. Teller would offer ether PROPOSE
ton on silver, as he has all along said that
he would not agree to anything like
straddle. He did not believe in any Of the
three propositions he submitted, but at
the request of the silver men he made the
propositions, although he knew that they
" ould not be accepted.
Mr.. Teller will submit a minority report
on the money plank. but not upon any 9TH
er feature of the platform. The Colorado
Senator says that the subcommittee was
made UP unfairly, and that the silver men
should have had more than one man on
the subcommittee, as their representation
entitled them to.
Mr.. Teller decided to carry his fight to the
full committee today. but he had little hope
Of success. as he did not believe there are
more than ten or fifteen men on the full
committee who would vote against the sub
committees resolution

FINANCE AND TRADE
The Gold Plank Makes the Market
Feel Better.
RUMORED SILVER BOLT DEPRESSING
Moderate Number of Deals and
Slight Rise in Prices.
T H E D AY's DE A L S

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE successful
passing of the currency crisis at St. Louis
and the triumph of fair dealing has given
a new significance to values in all depart
ments Of finance. Debtor and creditor alike
are to be protected from the evils of am
biguous money transactions. Contracts in
volvinG money consideration are to be
protected from the possibility Of having
half the amount involved legslated into
satisfaction for the whole.
One element Of chance has consequently
been removed from the speculative field,
and confidence in a revival of prosperity
restored Interest continues to center in
the deliberations at st. Louis, as the con-
servative element in the street is unwilling
to begin any significant movement until
the present program is absolutely adopted.
The exercise of prudence has not prevented
a decided improvement in the general tone
of speculative comment and insureS intelli-
gent action later On. The course Of prices
during the early trading this morning was
almost identical to that of yesterday. Lon
don sold about five thousand shares of the
more active International shares, traders
contributing moderately to the reaction.
AT the decline a moderate Improvement
IN the demand was noticed and fractional
gains established Toward the close of the
suited in sharp decline In all parts of the
list, as the result of st. Louis reports pre-
dieting an outbreak among the silver dele
gates.
Threatened complications in the routine
work of the convention were predicted in
a variety of private kilograms, and selling
for time Immediately ensued. Move
ments of this character are, at the mo-
ment, directly in opposition 10 the pre-
vailing ser timent, and can scarcely be pro-
lorged. There is almost general con-
fidence in a strong platform in every es-
sential particular. Momentary drawbacks
are scarcely worthy OF serious considera-
ton, under the cirG stances. The refer
ence to sugar in the new platform promises
to be unusually gratifying, from the stock
holders standpoint.
The engagement Of 100000 for export by
tOmorrow's steamers attracted little COM
ment, owing to the fact that the shipment
was generally known to reflect the COM
pletfon Of an old contract. Exchange rates
were disposed to yield under increased Of
ferings of bankers drawings and indica :
tions point to an early recession from the
specie point. In the main, the days devel-
cIments were favorable to values a
broader market being essential to a proper
reflection Of actual conditions.
The granger shares and the more promi-
nent members of the interna tional group
continue to be favored by buyers The in
dustrial list has been secondary consid-
Grafton during the recent period of i'm
provemcnt. a probable reference to trusts
liz the political! platform acting as deter
rent to buyers.

THE ORDER OF BUSINESS.

Program Adopted by the Committee
ON Rules.
The committee on rules and order Of busl-
ness of the republican cGnv .ntion met last
night at st. Louis pursuant to its ad-
journment after the meeting at the close
ii the convention. Representative Bing-
ham of Philadelphia was elected chair
man. The committee decided to allow six
Votes to each of the territories and two
to the District of Columbia as arranged
by the national COMMITTEES in the call for
the convention. 1t was also decided that
the rules of the House of Representatives
of the Fifty-fourth Congress shall be the
governing rules of the convention. Ac-
cording to the rules as adopted, the conven-
tion will proceed in the following order of
business:
1.f, Report of the committee on creden-
tials.
2. Report of the committee on perma-
nent organization.
j. Report of the committee on resolu-
ticns
T. Naming members of the rational COM
mittee.
5. Presentation of candidates for Pres,-
dent.
6. Balloting.
I. Presentation of candidate for Vice
President.
8. Balloting.
The committee decided that four votes
should be allowed the district of Alaska
The rule covering the manner of select
ing national committeeman and of calling
the convention provoked a lively discuss
slon. Gen. Powell Clayton of Arkansas in
troduced resolution providing that some
rev method of selecting national COM
mittee men and delegates should be found.
Gen. Clayton offered no suggestion as to
tie method best to be employed, and de-
ciared that the presence of 10 contests,
such as confronted the credentials COM
lDittee, proved that there was a CRYING err
ror In the present method of doing things.
1t was decided to refer the matter to a
subcommittee of seven, which Is to report
to the main committee on rules at time
subsequent to the report of the commit
tee to the convention tomorrow.
1t was also decided to recommend that
the national committee issue the call for
the convention sixty days from the date
selected. instead of six months, as has
been the practice heretofore.
