Mr.. Fairbanks, of Indiana, who will
be the temporary chairman of the con-
vention, was with Mr.. Hanna the
greater part of the day, and among his
visitors were Mr.. Depew. and
Mr.. Bliss, of New York, Mr..
Quay, of Pennsylvania, Mr.. Henry
Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts,,
and very many others. Of all the prom
inent leaders in St. Louis, Platt alone
was conspicuous by his absence, but it
is understood that he was made cog
nizant of the purport of the proposed
financial plank by others who dis
cussed it with Mr.. Hanna.
While it is true that many of the
eastern delegates preferred declara-
ton outright for gold, not one criti-
cised the proposition submitted to
them as having 'straddle," or con-
sidered it other than as gold

pressed. One well-known New Yorker
who is identified with the moneyed in

Gov. Hastings, of Pennsylvania, and

There continues to be much gossip
respecting the adoption of gold stan

out any substantial basis of fact be-
yond the incident mentioned in these
dispatches of Mr.. Hanna taking under
consideration the suggested Kohlsaat
modifi cation Of the Indiana platform.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Of Mas
sachusetts, who it is thought may be
made chairman of the committee on
resolutions, is expected to reach here
Saturday land upon his arrival it is pos
sible that something more definite than
the prevailing rumors may be arrived
at as to the probable financial trend Of
the platform. The discussion of the
matter in Mr. Hanna's room, which
lasted all Friday afternoon. was re-
newed after the arrival of ex-Gov.
Charles Foster, of Ohio, whose expert
ence as secretary of the treasury under
Harrison, gave weight to his views.

how it sh ,u.d be expressed. These
have been collected and arranged.
The vario.s platforms adopted by re-
publican state conventions have also
been carefully analysed and consid-
cred. Since the arrival of prominent
leaders Mr.. Hanna has availei himself
of the opportunity of personal con-
verse with them on this important sub
ject.
The result of all this is that early
Sunday Mr.. Hanna made a rough draft
of the platform. which he has submit

were decided almost at haphazard. A

be fought over again before the COM

FATAL MINE EXPLOSION

KILLED = Three Others from Price.
Utah, Wounded.

Price, Utah. Nov. IA heavy ex-
Plosion occurred at the 81. Louis ellison
Asphaltum company's mine, three miles
from Fort Duchesnr. at $3.50 this after
noon in which two men were killed
and three others slightly injured. The
killed are Charles Anderson, aged 80,
of Ashley, Utah, and Andy earns, of
Park City, Utah. Anderson leaves a
wife and four young children, earns is
unmarried. Both were working in the
mine when the explosion occurred The
injured are three freighters from Price,
Utah, named Warren and Bunce, the
name of the other not being known.
They were standing about $50 yards
from the mine and were struck by fly
ing timbers. Their injuries are very
slight.
The explosion was terrific, the report
being heard distinctly at Vernal, thirty
miles away. All the buildings at Fort
Duschene were shaken and many of the
window glasses broken,
The explosion was caused by the
combustion of asphaltum dust and gas
The mine Immediately took fire. The
heat was so intense that it is impossible
to get near it, flames rising from all
three of the shafts, one hundred feet in
the air, and there is no possible way of
extinguishing them.
1t is not probable that the bodies of
Anderson and earns will ever be re-
covered, as they must have been crema-
ted by the flames.
The entire command from the fort
were mounted and hurried to the scene
of disaster, but were unable to render
any assistance. The nearest water is
two miles distance,and if it were possible
to turn the Duchense river into the

of the best known mining men in the

ore buyer and mill owner. He was born
in Cornwall, England, 81 years ago, and
removed to the United States, locating

the foundation OF his fortune was laid.
He was greatly interested in western
