TELLER WENT TO BED.
He Had Been Voted Down Four Times and
 Was Tired

St. Louis, June 16-The subcommittee on resolutions tonight agreed on the financial plank to be presented to the committee on resolutions. (The plank ap- pears on the first page verbatim.-Ed)
 The adoption of the plank was not con- cured in until four different propositions submitted by MT. Teller were voted down. First MT. Teller proposed straghtout plank for free coinage at 16 to 1. This was followed by a proposition to coin the American product, although MT. Tell CT frankly confessed that he did not in- dorse this proposition, but would take it if it were possible to get 1t. The third prop osition was resolution declaring for free coinage, accompanied by reasons which. in brief, set forth the fact that the pro tective tariff system could not be main tained on a gold standard basis The fourth proposition was resolution sub mitted by MT. Teller at the request of MT Fowler of Wyoming. It provided for the coinage of the American product and a tariff on all silver and silver ores i'm ported into the United States. MT. Teller having been defeated all along the line, said that he was willing to leave the con- struction of the rest of the platform to the rest of the committee, and started for his rooms for the purpose of getting a good nights rest. It was at MT Teller's request that the committee decided to make public the financial plank upon which 1t had agreed.
