GOLD PLANK IN PLATFORM.
Resolution Alleged To Be Approved by
Major Mckinley.

Major Mckinley.
ST. LOUIS, June l5.-The money ques
ton is practically settled The plank will
declare for an out-and-out gold stand
ard and opposed To the free and unlimited
coinage of silver except by international
agreement. Major Mckinley gives 1t his
unqualified approval and, In fact dictated
large portion of the proposed plank.
From one of Mr. Kinley's leaders u CORE
spondent was enabled to get IA copy of the
declaration which the Ohioan's managers
have decided to offer the committee on
resolutions. 1t reads as follows:
"The Republican party is unreservedly
for sound money. 1t caused the enact
ment of the law providing for the re-
sumption of specie payment I'm 1879; since
then every dollar has been as good as
gold
1--WE are unalterahly opposed to every
measure calculated To dcbaSe our currency
or impair the credit of our counery. We
are, therefore, opposed to the free and un'
limited coinage of silver except by inter
national agreement, and until such agree
mcnt can be obtained we believe the ex
listing gold standard should be preserved
We favor the use of silver ms currency, but
to the extent only that It's parity with gold
can be maintained, and we favor al
measures designed to maintain involably
the money of the United States, whether
coin or paper, at the present standard, The
| standard of the most enlightened nations
| of the earth"
This, It is understood, is entirely salts
factory to all the Mckinley leaders. O
course they do not want TO dictate 10 no
| anticipate the action of the committee oil
resolutions, but they will earnestly urg
| that it be incorporated as IA part of th
| money plank to be adopted by the Repub
| lican convention. From this IL will b'
seen that there is TO be no equivocation

| The football rules for 1896 formulated
by the rules committee of the University
Athletic ol1b, and adopted by Harvard,

Yale and Cornell were recently issued.
With this code is restored once more the
old harmony among all the prominent
factions in the football field of rule max
ers. The principal changes from the
double set of rules in existence last sea-
son are the emit ire exoision of the mo-
mentum play, the rather moderate re-
straint of mass plays, the curtailment of
delays due to ssorapping''in the line,
the privilege of running or heeling afte

witbout the consent of the corporation
nersona or firms who are now suppIvin1
fine oity with light and power, excepf hv
speoial act IF the legislature. I can oon-
oeiye of a case in which Corporation
might be vested with authority by its
charter to furnish power TO the CITY wbtch
the CITY might use for it's own electric
LIGHTING when such CORPORATION would
NOT he authorized by law to erect noies
and run wires in the streets. However,
as / am not aware that any such condi.
tiops exist. the latter is merely snen1,la-
tive.
Question 81. Answer. This question
is very broad: If Mr.. Peterson can get
authority or Legislature for any corpora
ton to furnish light and power in and to
the oity there IS, or course, no trouble.
Oh. 102 OF Public Laws of 1895 refers to
corporations. Furnishing power, cleo
trio or otherwise is a lawful occupation
which any individual may engage in.
l think the city may purchase power SO
furnished and light its own streets. A
contract for ten years would be objection
able, under present conditions, on the
ground OF mourning CITY debt beyond
the per cent. limit. Mr.. Peterson says
that this proposition is submitted for the
Eeneft OF corporation about to be
organized. The law of 1895 would pre-
vent any such corporation from engaging
in the business of furnishing light as
much under assignment as under orig
lnal contract, except by legislative author
ity.
