His Three Year Old Daughter.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct 19.-The Jour
nal says: 1.-THE body Of the little girl
which was cast into the Missouri river
with a great stone bound upon its
chest, and which was uncovered by
the receding waters at the mouth Of
the Blue Sunday, revealing a most
cruel and shocking murder, has been
identified as that Of Cecile Lavine.
She was nearly three years old. The
mother, Mrs. Lavine, is employed in
this city. The father, who is sus-
pected Of the crime, lives some Is
miles up the Blue valley. He will
be arrested if located by deputy
marshals, who left for his home
last night They were also armed
with warrants for the arrest of the
grandmother and step-grandfather Of
the murdered child, with whom she
was supposed by her mother to be
safely housed. The murder was one
Of the most heartless and appalling
crimes in the whole history Of Jackson
county. 1t was causeless and diabol-
ical in its character. Yesterdays post

DOlce' New silver Scheme.

To cover his complete abandonment

to the front the storage warehouse
scheme Of government silver purchases
evolved by Secretary Window in 1880,
but quickly abandoned us purposeless

enemies Of silver coinage in congress.
By this scheme silver bullion Is to be
deposited in the treasury and market
value certificates issued on It, redeem
able on presentation In bullion at the
later market rate. No silver is to be
coined, and the bullion is merely to be
dealt In speculatively as an out and out
commodity. To what a trivial and

W0LC0T7'S MISSION.
A Death Blow Dealt to It by the
British Government.
BANKERS AGAINST DIME1ALLlSM.
The London Newspapers Congratulate the
Government Upon Dlsposing OF the
Matter-What the Governor Of
the Bank Of England Says.

LONDON, Oct. 19-The United States
monetary commissioners have received
no official information regarding the
action taken by the British cabinet on
Saturday last. Private advices, how
ever, convince them that the cabinet
has dealt the death blow to their mis-
sion. 1t is expected the commission
ers will shortly be informed that her
majesty's government regrets being
unable to accede to their proposals,
but is willing to listen to any
other plan they may suggest.
But both parties to the conference
know that no other practical
scheme can be advanced. In the event
of the expected reply being received,
the United States commissioners will
return to the United States The
commissioners believe their failure
means that no further effort in behalf
Of bimeta llism will be made for many
years to come. They attribute their
failure to the opposition Of the bankers
and Of the London Times. Until these
forces were aroused, all signs pointed
to the cooperation of the British gov.
eminent.
The afternoon papers yesterday echo
the opinions Of the morning newspa-
pers in congratulating the government
upon finally disposing OF the bime-
tallic Scare" and expressing regret
that it should 'even have seemed to
receive support in high quarters. !"
Hugh C. Smith, governor Of the Bank
Of England, said to representative
of the Associated Press;
The bank is private company, without any
government control. and is not responsible to
the government except in the terms of its
charter. The government cannot issue any Or

"As the present lamentable condition

naturally to be the repeal Of the legal

coinage Of silver and any other metals

tender ratio between the metals. Each
metal will simply be stamped, under
perfectly distinct names for the pieces,

discharge or tender shall be the metal
named in contract. If, then, business
men see fit to draw their contracts gen
orally for one metal in preference to
another. no one can find fault, and ex-

emphatic confession of bankruptcy.
Among the wrongs done in liberty's

business confidence Is most needed the
most deadly blow is struck at that con-

that there is not enough Of one metal
