fighters 1t is now more than year
since Italy began active hostilities and
to-day the Abyssinians have the upper

THE MONEY PLANK.

st. Louis, June 15.-The money plank
of the platform has been agreed upon
1t is victory for the middle west, but
is perfectly satisfactory to the extreme
east. The leaders Of the middle west
offered a plank which follows and which
was submitted to Senator Lodge and
other eastern men today. as a substi-
tute to the plank prepared by them
yesterday, and has been accepted by
them as completely Satisfactory. This,
it is believed, ends a long fight over

the committee This is the resolution:
"The Republican party is unreserved-
ly for sound money. 1t caused the en-
actment of the law providing for the
resumption of specie payments in '7g;
since then every dollar has been as
good as gold We are unalterably op-
posed to every measure calculated to
debase our currency or impair the cred
it of our country. We are, therefore.
opposed to the free and unlimited coin
age of silver, except by International
agreement, which we favor, and until
such agreement can be obtained the
existing gold standard should be pre-
served We favor the use Of silver as
currency, but to the extent only that
its parity with gold can be maintained.
and we favor measures designed TO
maintain inviolable the money Of the
United States, whether coin or paper.

clares that ever since the marriage
Dickinson on divers occasions has
beaten her and even threatened to
kill herself and child. The plaintiff
cites few instances OF this alleged
cruel conduct, claiming that 10 years
ago while they we're living in Dakota
he struck her violent blow
in the face. knocking her down
and continuing to beat her
until she was unable to rise,
as a consequence of which she sus-
tanned injuries which laid her up for
several days; that he pushed her
down stairs sometime afterward
causing injuries from which she
never recovered; and that one night
in April of last year while they were
living at Fitchburg, Mass. he drew a
knife and threatened to cut her
throat, In which he would have sue
ceeded, she asserts, but for police
interference. Mrs. Dickinson then
fled with her child to the home Of
her parents in this city. She seeks
divorce, the custody Of her child,
Grace Julia, who is now 9 years OF
age. and the right to assume her
maiden name, Sadie Miller.
