STONE DOESN'T CARE
Whether Free Silver Goes Into the
Platform or Not.

st. Louis, June 28.-Ex-Governor w.
J. Stone, national committeeman from
Missouri and vice chairman of the Dem
ocratic national committee, in an inter-
view today said:
Il have not discussed the platform or
any of its provisions with prominent
leaders of the party, and do not know
their views. but so far as the silver
question is concerned I do not think it
is important whether the platform con-
tains general reaffirmation of the Chi
cago platform or whether it contains a
repetition of that platform.
The free coinage of silver has been
fixed as Democratic principle. 1t was
so established by the fight which Gull
minated at Chicago in 1896. 1t was a
real issue then and it won and became
a cardinal Democratic doctrine Now 1
see no reason why we should specifical-
ly repeat the free coinage plank of the
Chicago platform in order to prove to
the country that we still adhered to it.
Three planks in the Chicago platform
were specially criticised by our enemies.
They are the free silver, income tax and
government by injunction declarations.
OF these of course, the silver plank was
the most important. Now suppose the
party at Kansas iCty adopts a resolu-
ton to this effect: In which we endorse
in whole and in part, the platform of our
party adopted at Chicago in 1885, -

New York Up-rown Gossip.

New York, June pa furthur contrac-
ton in the activity of the exchange deal
ings did not produce any important de-
clines in prices yesterday. In fact, the
average was better than close of Tues
day There was a little significance. how
ever, to be extracted from the market as
at any time since the bears were disap-
pointed because prices did not open
weaker than they did last Monday morn
ing. Until we get a full appreciation
based on facts of the real state of affairs
in the far east and the possibilities and
perils of the near future it is gratifying
to be able to note the approaching end of
the great building trades strike in Chi
cago At a time when some authorities
on the iron and steel industries were be-
ginning to note an increase in difficulties
on account of southern labor situation in
Alabama districts, it is unfortunate that
the large labor associations in the iron
industry should now agitate the question
of advance in wages. 1t is the general
conviction that by heroic measures of re-
duction in prices and curtailment of out
put the iron industry may be more swift
~ placed upon bed rock. When that
point is reached recovery will certainly
occur. 1t is fortunate that the immense
declines in the securities of iron and steel
companies are persuading many intelli-
gent capitalists that the worst develop
ments TO affect their investment standing
have been discounted in Wall street.

Professor Hopkins. He then read the fol-
lowing:
Resolved. That it is the sense of this
convention that the right of ballot shall
not be denied any citizen on account of

1t was evident that leaving the woman
suffrage plank out of the platform was
distasteful to many delegates, and when
Mrs Beauchamp, president of the w. c.
I, .. of Kentucky, took the platform to
advocate an equal suffrage plank, she
was wildly applauded. A picture of Fran

speakers stand had fallen down during

Baltimore, June 28-At a conference
of the Democratic leaders of this state
held here yesterday, at which former
United States Senator German and
Governor John w. Smith were present,
the course of the Maryland delegation
to the convention at Kansas City was

proper effort to prevent the passage of
16 to 1 resolutions anG TO INCORPORATE
into the platform the plank on the
currency question adopted by the late
Democratic state convention in Mary

the nomination of Mr.. Bryan.
Senator German will not attend the
convention and his place on the ma
tional committee will be filled during
the preliminary arrangements by Col.
L. Victor Baughman. There is some
talk among the delegates of placing in
nomination Governor John Walter
Smith for the vice presidency, but this
has as yet assumed no definite shape.
The delegation will leave here on Sun
day afternoon by way of Chicago, over
the Pennsylvania and Burlington and

OIL IN JAPAN.
A Big Refining Plant to Be Shipped
From United States.

Philadelphia, June 28-When the Brit

Japan within a few days she will carry
an oil refining plant the first ever ship
ped to that country. The cargo, which
also include tanks and the necessary
apparatus for the discharge of the oil
into vessels and cars. The refinery will
be located at either Kobe or Yokohama.
The work of running the refinery and
developing the newly discovered fields
will be under the direction of skilled
Americans, their subordinates being
Japanese. The development of oil in
Japan, it is said, is likely to restrict
the demand from the United States,
which amounts to many millions of gal
Ions every year. Eleven large sailing
vessels are now under charter to load
