GOLD IS THE VICTOR.
Senator Lodge Claims That the Fight
Is Practically Won.


Is Practically Won.
st. Louis, June live have won the
fight. Gold is the victor. The commit
tee on resolution will declare for gold
standard and that declaration will be
adopted by the convention" Such was
the statement made this afternoon by
Senator Lodge, Of Massachusetts,. He
continued: "Since the conference We
held last night we have had returns
from many Of the states that have elect
ed their members Of the committee on
resolutions, and we now know exactly
where we stand The states that have
elected members Of the committee ON
resolutions pledged to a gold standard
are as follows:
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut. Outside of New England:
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Delaware, West Virginia, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, North Dakota, Oregon,
Washington, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ne
braska, Illinois and the District Of Co.
lumbia.
This makes twenty-five states, and
when 1t comes to voting Ohio and Indi-
ana and certain other Of the middle west
states will be compelled to go on record
as favoring a gold standard. Thus II
will be seen that we have carried the
| day and the Republican party will be
saved from committing itself to a strad-
die. The vote will Come first on a mi
nority report for free coinage plank.
which will be voted down and the gold
plank substituted. OF course the west
ern silver states cannot be counted
upon, but we have saved New York and
the vote of that state amounts to more
than the combined vote Of all the silver
producing states should they at the
election repudiate the Republican ticket
II is my firm belief that the adoption
of a gold plank will be the salvation OF
the Republican party and cause the
friends Of honest money to rally around
it's standard the whole country over"
Senator Lodges declaration that the
committee on resolutions will adopt a
gold plank is practically confirmed at
Mckinley headquarters. The pressure
from the eastern states has been Sc
strong that it Is tacitly admitted that
the Mckinley managers will not arbi-
trarlly oppose it. notwithstanding their
personal objections.

COMPOSES HIS OWN EPITApH.
Old Bachelor Of Indiana MOurns His
Lifelong Mistake.

Indianapolis, June 15-One of the
most eccentric characters Of the state
Is Allison Dewitt, of Battle Ground AN old
bachelor who has lived alone in a little
cabin for nearly half century, and Is
now an octogenarian, enfeebled by dis
ease and near deaths door. Over one
year ago he began digging his own
grave, which progressed slowly because
Of his feebleness. and after reaching
the required depth, he spent several
weeks in walling 1t up, using brick and
mortar.
Then he contracted with Logansport
firm for suitable monument, bearing
his own epitaph, and this stone was
placed in position during the present
week. He prescribed what should be
carved on the tombstone, stipulating
that no capital letter should be used
save in the word God. A literal copy is

YOUN0BLOOD'S SENSATION.
An Alabama Representative Makes
Accusation Against Politicians.

Accusation Against Politicians.
st. Louis, June 15.-A debate that for
heat and vigor Of language rivalled that
of the stormy sessions Of last week,
was precipitated in this mornings
meeting of the national Republican
committee upon the motion of Mr..
Payne, of Wisconsin, changing the
basis of representation in the next ma
tional convention in such manner as to
increase the delegations from the north
and decrease those from the south.
When the debate was at its height, Col.
Youngblood, Of Alabama. created q sem
sation by O vigorous address in which
he charged that the conflicts among
the Republicans in the south and the
disruption Of the party in that region
were due to corrupt men coming from
the north with their pockets full Of
Doodle to seduce and fix in the inter-
ests Of their own candidates Republic
cans who under other circumstances
would be loyal to party organization.
"Stop your fixing" he shouted, "stay
at home. the southern Republicans can
take care Of themselves. Keep your
Doodle at home. The very man who IL
accused of first starting disruption in
1880 sits in the senate Of the United
States today. We don't want your In
reference. We don't want your money.
let us alone"
Club quarters were at q premium in
the Southern hotel today and as q re-
suit the committee was compelled to
pack itself in @ small guest chamber on
an upper floor. The first business in
order was proposition to grant four
additional delegates to the district of
Columbia and It was laid on the table
by vote of 25 to !. Then Col. Young
blood asked that General Longstreet,
who 10 in the city ana whose eyesight
and hearing are both affected, be given

"Yes. cold, and for sale and at auc-
tion shops and on the streets Of ST.
Louis" continued General Reeder. He
urged that the Pennsylvania delegation
enter formal protest. This was done
by unanimous vote and Messrs. Elkins,
Flood and Rex were appointed a COM
mittee to present the protest.
The Illinois delegation elected T. N
Jameson national committeeman and
after a hot discussion Of the financial
plank resolution favoring the gold
standard was finally adopted by vote
of ~ to 6.
Chicago was favored as the head
quarters of the national Republican
committee.

DELEGATION MEETINGS.
Governor Foraker Meets the Ohio
Men..The Pennsylvania Workers.


st. Louis, June 15.--It was not at all
necessary, but Ex-Governor Foraker
could not resist the temptation at the
nesting Of the Ohio delegates to organ
ize this afternoon, to introduce reso-
luton instructing the delegates to vote
for Mckinley. The resolution was re-
ceived with three cheers and q tiger
and went through with whirl. The
financial plank was not referred to dur
ing the informal discussion Of various
topics by the delegates. There appear
ed to be tacit understanding that that
subject was perfectly safe in the hands
Of the man who was to be put upon the
committee on resolutions.
The committee selected We're as fol-
lows: Chairman Of the delegation,
Governor Bushnell; resolutions ex-
Governor Foraker; credentials, Judge A.
c. Thompson; permanent organization,
Charles A. Grosvenor; rules, Congress-
man George w. Wilson; to notify the
president, M. A. Hanna.
A selection Of representative to
notify the vie president was postponed.

Foraker followers was selected member
Of the national committee to succeed

SNAKE SWALLOWS SNAKE
An Interesting Scene from Life Down
in Florida.

The following is an interesting para eraph
IN a letter sent to friends here by Harry
Hammond, formerly of this city, who is
now making his home in Florida:
To-day I had the good luck to see a
curious sight, that of one snake killing and
swallowing another We came on the scene
just as a king snake was killing black
snake, each a little over three feet long
The king was tied and coiled round the
black and the latter's tail could Just wig
gle. After a few minutes, during which the
king tied himself in the most curious knots
and ran his head up and down his victim S
writhing body, biting it here and there as
if examining his supper, he turned to the
blacks head, gave it preliminary bite
and then slowly proceeded to take the
blackSnake into camp 1t seemed impossible
that he could swallow snake long and
as large as himself, but he did. This is
how he did it: He would stretch his head
as far as possible, get his teeth hooked in
his victim S scales. then slip his body up
till it was in wrinkles at his neck ana for
some way down. then loose his tooth hold
and slide his head forward for another
tight glove, in fact. 1t was the most inter-
esting operation | think / ever witnessed
and the king swallowed all but three inches
of the tail of the poor blacksnake and
then, with that dangling from his mouth
giided off into the grass. We let him go as
he is a known enemy of the dreaded rattle
snakes and often kills them
