WILL IGNORE SILVER
ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS TIRED OF
 DEFUNCT ISSUES.
Probable That No Mention Will Be Made of the Kansas City Platform-Harmony is
 Assured.

Springfield. H., June 16-whether or not the Kansas City platform is to be reaffirmed and who will be the Chairman of the next State Committee are the only causes of possible friction in the Demo- cratic Convention which meets tomorrow.
 It is not likely that either will bring about much of fight.
 State Senator Lawrence B. Stringer of Lincoln. will be temporary chairman of the convention. There has been entire accord on the platform with the one ex- ception of the question of the Kansas City platform. and on that point there have been many predictions that 1t would be ignored and nearly as many that 1t will be touched upon. The chances are. however, that the Kansas City platform. and with 1t the silver issue, will be passed over in silence.
 The platform will declare in favor of territorial government in the Philippines. will endorse the attitude of the national party leaders on the tariff and will de- nounce government by injunction.
 Willard F. Dunlap of Jacksonville, will be renominated for State Treasurer.

THE ANTHRACITE STRIKE.
Rain Keeps the Men and Boys In
 doors.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 16.-The sixth week of the anthracite coal miners strike began today without a ripple to disturb the calmness of the situation. Rain fell nearly all day which helped to keep the more than 10000 idle men and boys in- doors.
 Several reports of assaults on working men and coal and Niron policemen were received here from different sections of the region, but no one was seriously in- jured.
 It was expected that tonight would wit ness the refusal of a large number of fire bosses and other mine bosses to go to work. but the best information obtaina- ble shows that the number of men who quit was not large. Neither side gave out any figures.
 Casper Clark, president of the Inter national Team Drivers Association, said today that his organization would do all it could to help the striking miners.
 There was a revival today of the story that the Central Pennsylvania soft coal miners would be called out very soon, but President Gilday of the Central Penn sylvania district said that the Central Pennsylvania men would not be called out except as an extreme measure. He said he thought a curtailment of the soft coal production In his district would be a more likely action.

Reciprocity Bill Dead.

Adjournment within the next two weeks Is being talked of as a result of the re- cent developments in the Cuban reciproc- lty situation. It is very generally be- lieved, despite claims to the contrary, that the administrationists are about ready to give up their fight for "re- lief' bill. and that they will allow the session to come to a close without such bill being passed. They would prefer td do this rather than permit the passage of the House bill containing the amendment abolishing the differential on refined su- gar, and that is about the only alterna. tive left them now. It Is stated, semi officially that the President will not fol low up his special message, and that he will make no further efforts to get his party in line sufficiently to pass a straight reciprocity bill Several infor- nal conferences were held by the beet sugar people today and it Is admitted that their position is now so strong that they cannot be defeated unless the oppo- sition brings out some new features.
