 St. Louis, Mo, Nov. 7,---Senator AL drich arrived at St. Louis tonight. He is scheduled for speech on the work and purposes of the monetary commits soin at dinner to be given him to- morrow night by the Commercial Club of this city.
 When asked whether he would not deviate from his course sufficiently to reply to Senator Cummins' criticisms. Mr. Aldrich merely shook his head. He also declined to say anything of a general nature on the tariff question. Ills position is that as he has taken the road in the interest of the proposed monetary reform. he should not permit anything to cause division of inter- est. Regarding the correction of the currency evils as the most crying need of the time. he fs determined to give his attention for the present to the correction of the condition.
 Des Moines. where Mir. Aidrich will speak Thursday night. is the home of Senator Cummins, but 1t Is doubtful that even when there the Rhode Island senator will make reference to his diff ference with the Iowan.
