JUDGES OF ST. LOUIS COUNTY
CONFER ON FAIR PLANS.
President Francis Urges the Improve
ment of County Roads and Estab-
lishment Of New Justice Court.

The improvements Of certain county roads
and the appointment of Justice of the
Peace for the Worlds Fair district were
the subjects Of discussion at conference
held in the Administration building yes
terday between President Francis and
Judges Heege, wiethaupt and Kerth Of the
st. Louis County Court
The conference was arranged by Presd-
dent Francis, and followed a dinner, at
guests.
Mr.. Francis is particularly anxious that
Pennsylvania avenue be improved. 1t is the
western boundary Of the Worlds Fair site
and at present Is but street in name. 1t
has been dedicated. but never opened. ex-
cept south of the Transit Clayton division
tracks. Recently an order was passed by
ton road to the Manchester road.
Several real estate dealers in st. Lon's
County want 1t opened as far north as the
Olive Street road. They also want 1t wild
ened from thirty to sixty feet graded and
macadamized as boulevard. If this is
done, it will make the World 8 Fair grounds
as accessible from the western boundary as
from the eastern.
Mr.. Francis is also anxious that n Justice
of the Peace be appointed for work exclu-
siyely in the Worlds Fair grounds The
duties of a Justice Of the Peace in the
county are similar to those of Police
Judge in st. Louis A bill probably will be
introduced in the Legislature making both
the city and county sections Of the Fair
into one district.
Judge Wiethaupt said last night that
President Francis was simply seeking in
formation as to the proper manner for get
ting the desired legislation before the court.

MODERN ORATORS SPEECHES
President Roosevelt and w. J. Bryan
Quoted in Republics Books.

Two nomination speeches that are consid-
cred mastery orations, delivered within the
last decade, are those of President RooSe-
welt and william Jennings Bryan.
President Roosevelt's speech was deliv-
cred al the Philadelphia convention in 1900
when he seconded the nomination of Pres
itaent Mckinley for second term. An ex-
tract from the Grafton is:
.I rise to second the nomination Of Will
liam Mckinley, because with him as lead
er this country has trod the paths of ma
tIonal greatness and prosperity with the
strides of a giant, and because under him
We can and will once more and finally over
throw those whose success would mean for
the nation material disaster and moral dis
grace. Exactly as we have remedied the
remedy, so now when We say that u wrong
shall be righted it most assuredly will be
The speech of William Jennings Bryan at
the Democratic National Convention at Chi
cago in 1896. which has been termed the
"Cross of Gold.'' Is conceded to be his ia
NOUS grafton. The remark "You shall not
press down upon the brow of labor this
crown of thorns; you shall not cruelty man
upon a cross of gold" has become renowned
all over the country.
These two orations are printed in full in
the edition of American Statesmen and
Orators" which The Republic will give to
its readers. Accompanying the speeches are
halftone engravings of both orators

Compromise Talk in Senate Shows
Increasing Sentiment in Favor
of Admission of All.
LEADERS IGNORE NEW PLAN.
Other Senators Appear to Regard
1t as Feasible Means of Bring
ing to an End an Inter.
minable Debate.

Washington. Jan. 1.-The Senate to-day
discussed the bill for the reorganization Of
the militia and also the statehood bill. Mr..
Mallory Of Florida led the Democratic Sem
ators In opposition to the section Of the
military bill providing for a reserve force
OF trained men, the contention being that
it not only infringed upon the rights Of the
several States. but also increased the stand-
ing army by q hundred thousand men.
When the statehood bill came I'D MI.
Beveridge had read q number of resolu-
lions adopted at recent convention In
Oklahoma favoring slngle statehood with
Indian Territory.
Mr.. Quay. who is leading the light for
the admission Of Oklahoma, Arizona and
New Mexico. criticised the resolutions, say
ing the people who adopted them had not
acted intelligeotly, because the single-stste-
hood bill had been withdrawn. He further
charged that they did not represent the
sentiment Of majority Of the people Of
Oklahoma
Mr.. Nelson Of Minnesota continued, but
did not complete his remarks in opposition
to the omnibus statehood bill
There was renewal in the Senate to-day
Of the talk OF q compromise Of the differ.
ences on the statehood question on the basis
Of two States. one to be composed Of Okla
MONA ana 1nolan Terr1tory ana the other
Of New Mexico, and Arizona.
The leaders on both sides refused to con.
slider the suggestion; but the other Senators
appeared to regard it as feasible means
Of bringing to close debate which bids
fair to consume much time Of the session.
MONETARY BILL PASSED.
Washington, Jan. THE session Of the
House to-day lasted a little more than two
hours. The Senate bill for the redemption
Of. the silver coinage Of the Hawaiian
coin, was passed after an hours debate.
1t provides for the redemption Of silver
coins by being received either in Hawaii or
the United States in the payment Of dues.
Standard silver coins OF the United States
may be exchanged for coin Of Hawaii at
their face value. Hawaiian silver certifi-
Gates shall be redeemed before January /.
1906. and thereafter they cannot lawfully
circulate as money. Several bills of minor
Importance also were passed.
The Philippine constabularly bill was
made special order for tomorrow.

gram from the officers OF the Grey Eagle

The first landing that could be made in
safety was Grand Tower, where the packet
remained until the storm subsidized
The steamer Josie of the same company
was on the Ohio River seventeen miles from
