Predicts a Gold Standard Platform
and Policy.

New York, May A.-Ex-Senator Platt
gave out a statement tonight in part as
follows:
THE business men of the country may
confidently rely upon their views being
executed at st. Louis, both as to the main
tenance of the gold standard and as to the
nomination of candidate who can APP
propriately stand on a gold plank. New
York will present such a candidate, and
unanimously.
II observe Senator Miller In recent in
terview says I have no commission to
speak for our delegation on that point. 1t
is small matter whether l have or not.
The important thing Is the fact He, for
instance, having been elected a delegate
at Gov. Morton's request, having attended
the conference at which it was resolved
to place Morton in the field, having been
the first man there to advocate that ac-
ton and the first man to proclaim 1t TO
the world by formal interview when the
conference adjourned, he of course will be
the governors staunchest supporter in the
convention. He says I must not speak for
him, but can certainly quote his record
in the matter. and can at least express
enough confidence in his character as a
man to say that he will keep faith with
himself and make good his promises.
What Is true of Mr.. Miller in this re-
spect Is similarly true of the other dele
gates. whether they represent districts or
the state at large"

THE QUEENS NATAL DAY
ROYAL BRITONs REJOICE ON DATE
OF ANOTHER ANNIVERSARY.
Real Celebration in England VIII

Ceremonies.

London, May M.-Cannon doomed,
church bells rung and the Union Jack ana
Royal Standard flew in the breeze all over
England in celebration of the fact that
today is the 77th anniversary of the birth
of Queen Victoria. For the first time
since her accession to the throne, the birth
day falls upon Whit Sunday-the great
festival that inaugurates the English
summer-and as result the usual outdoor
fetes, Maypole dances and other Whitsun-
tide festivities will be blended with the
celebrations in honor Of the queens natal
day. Her majesty is spending the day In
quiet at Windsor. She is still much de-
pressed as a result of the untimely death
of Prince Henry of Battenberg, and the
consequent grief of the Princess Beatrice,
and has decided to forego her usual in
spection of the guards in the Long Walk
of the pretty city.
The usual royal salute was fired this
morning within the castle grounds, and
the city is gaily decorated. In this city,
in accordance with time honored custom,
the Scots guards marched from their bar
racks in Chelsea to Hyde Park, where
with the detachments of the First Life
guards and Cold Stream guards they fired
the royal salute and went through the GER
emony of trooping the colors. Dispatches

Standard Thrown to the Breeze by
Gold Democrats.

Chicago, May A.-The gold standard
leaders of the democratic party in Cook
county today met and drew up mani
festo which, as they put it, filings out the
flag of a regenerated party" The man
ifesto gives in detail the local history of
the political split in the democratic party
In this state and maps out a course which
provides for boycott not only of tomor-
rows primaries and Tuesdays conven-
ton, but of the present county central
committee and it's belongings. 1t de-
clares the state end of the democratic sill
yer machine as being more undemocratic
than the Cook county end Of it, and an
nounces its purpose to Ego on with the
work of the party Independently of the
silver men," who are called populists and
not democrats. In accordance with the
boycott stated in the manifesto the gold
standard men say they are going to stay
at home.
The silver men vow that 10000 ballots
will be cast for the delegates to be elect
ed to Tuesdays county convention.
The gold standard men charge that the
credentials of the delegates to the state
convention to be elected Tuesday are
already made out. An intimation has
been made by some democrats close to
Governor Altgeld that the instructions on
the money question to be voted at Tues
days convention may be found to be
simply "anti-gold bug" making no men

Chicago May A-By the explosion of
gasoline stove on Townsend street today

the head and body; will probably die.
Mrs. Malm, the wife and mother, had
arisen to prepare breakfast, and her hus-
band and children were still asleep in
bed. She lighted a gasoline stove, when
the reservoir which holds the supply of
oil exploded, throwing the burning fluid
about the room. Before the sleeping
members of the family could be taken out
or even warned they were shut in by the
flames and burned almost to crisp. When
the explosion occurred Mrs. Malm rushed
frantically from the dwelling and scream
ed for help. Then she returned to the
house, soon reappearing with her Swear
old child on her arms. Burning clothing
still adhered to the burned flesh of the
babe, and 1t died sortly afterward The
screams of the mother had by this time
brought the neghbors to the scene. The
fire department was summoned and the
f1remen rushed into the rooms and remov-
ed the inmates, while water was thrown
upon the flames. The mothers burns
were attended to by the doctors, and il
was found they were comparatively
slight.

METHoDIsrs TAKEN TO TASK

Cleveland, May A-Bishop Thoburn to,k
occasion, in a sermon which he delivered
at the armory today, to lecture the dele
gates to the Methodist conference for
their Indifference rgarding missions. Bisn.
op Thoburn has been iaborer In the mis-.
sonary field in India, and he took the con.
ference to task seriously for not giving
better financial support to the work.
Some day." he said, 1--WE shall all stand
before the great white throne, and tive
shall be asked why, when we were In
Cleveland four weeks, we did not do son,e-
tn ng for the mission cause. The only an
swer we can make will be that we were SO
busy with previous questions. questions
of privilege, points of order and laying
things on the table that we could not at
tend to missions"
The bishop said he had come to this
country expecting to see something done
and If the Methodist church would only
act the other rotestaPnt denominations
would follow it. 1t might be possible,
with proper efforts, to save million souls
a year in India, but even at that rate It
would take 200 years to Christlanize the
country.
