ST. Ixifis , Oct. 4. Owing to thn festivities
Of the veiled prophet the Paniiinorlcan 111-
inetnlllc convention did not get together un
til nearly 10 o'clock.
Letters of regret for nbscnen and sympa
thy from . \ . .1. Warner , WnsblnKton , U 0. ,
Congressman II 1' . lllnnd , ( juvernor William
Fishback of Ancnnsas , T. U Nugent of
Texas , David Ohnrincycr ot Kansas and
others were read. That of Governor Fish-
back was an extensive statistical argument
for blinetalllsm and the use of water routes
to the Rtilf and tliotico to tiuropo , thus re-
during freight expenses and thereby giving
to the Mississippi valley the position it do-
orves lit tnocotnmercl.il world.
With the finishing of thu reading of the
letters Walter N. Allen of Kansas was In
troduced nnd addressed the convention as a
farmer , pleading for free coinage. ,
"No International Bimetallism with Great
Jlntaln Included is Possible , " was the title
of a paper read for the author by Captain
Capowcrof Kansas. Its argument was that
Great-Urltatn as a creditor nation controlled
the world ,
On behalf of thu Knights of Labor delegates -
gates prt-sentT. A. Osburn of Kansas pre
sented to the convention an address en-
dorslng Its objects. After reviewing In gen
eral tcruis the present financial nnd
labor situation it urges the Increase of
thu medium of exchange ; pledges opposition
to the destruction of silver as mutiny : favors
the freunn I unlimited coinage of silver lit
the ratio of 10 to 1 , and closes with a reso
lution to "lay aside all olliur issues for the
present , and ask the south und west to unite
tor the roinoni'tlzatlon of silver.
. Tliu Colorado delegates presented for
the consideration of thu convention the
bullion bureau plan , which is to bo urged
upon the statu legislature of Colorado. The
convention then took a recess until > ! p. m.
At the afternoon session , ttio committee on
resolutions hump still at work on tbo pint-
lorni , the convention listened to addresses
by sorural delegates on thu silver Usuc us It
appeared tu them.
Uovoriuir .Stone's lilrns.
Governor W. .T , Stone of Missouri was
called for , and in responding spoke briefly.
IIo said It wiis not his Intention tu inaico a
silver speech or discuss tliu silver question.
Nevertheless ho was satlsllcd from
A profound conviction that it
was for the best Interests of tlio
people that tliu free coinage of silver should
bo secured. He was also for thu maintaining
of thu existing ratio of 10 to 1. Imlccd , if
It were not for the fact that largo qunn-
titles of silver were already coined and that
debts were contracted upon that basis , ho
would favor ; i rciluution to 15 to 1. An.7
change In the ratio incuntapaymuntof debts
In it different amount from that in which
they woru contracted. Hu expressed the
conviction that the supply of silver , instead
of becoming too great lor thu demand would
Actually prove too small.
Turning to the use of money in commerce > ,
lie held , despite the contention that the usu
of a double standard would result In tlio
cheaper money driving the dearer out , do- )
spltu the contention that cash did not usu i-
ally llguro in international transactions be
yond n limited amount , thu money stayed in
Its own country , transactions being carried
on by bills uf oxchangu which mot and bal 1-
anced each other , or nearly so , the balances 1t.
only being payable In cash , and the exporta
tion of that cash so affecting exchange rates
ns to stimulate exportation of commodities ,
thus changing the balance.
< jiifNtl ! ilH of SoctlnnullHin.
Turning to the question of sectionalism ,
ns brought up in connection with this con
vention , lie declared it supreme nunsenso.
As far us thu union was concerned , tbcru
was no danger to it to bo found in the Mis
sissippi valloy. . No people would more
quickly fuco danger for llio Hag. The in
tegrity of tliu union was not at stake. IIu
desired neither political , commercial nor
financial Independence of the uast. Hu wns
simply tired of political , commercial
nnd llnanulal dependence upon the cast.
IIu had fur years fult thu necessity of a
Closer rotation between tbo people of the
south and west in protection of their own
interests ; not in a hostile sense , but simply
as a measure of self-protection. If thu cast
vcrohnving.nn" unduly powerful Inlluciicu
upon affairs it was tlmu for tno west and
poutli to assert , thmnsulvos. IIu but urged
the union of thu south and west for thu pro
tection of thulr uwn interests. And any
such movement should receive his hearty
sympathy and support.
Coming to thu currency question , ho
quoted statistics tu show that the nine north
eastern status , whether in national brinks ,
state banks , loan and trust companies , or all
together , posso.ised banking resources equal
to' about Ki per cunt of all the country ,
ngalnstK pur cent possessed by all the
ether status and territories. From this , lie [
eaid , came a mute appeal from tlio conven
tion to protect themselves , their wives and
children from thu east , to assert their ido.
fusal to bo dependent o.c
further.upon that sec :
tion commercially , politically or financially.
Not accession , but co-operation with the
vest and south in
advancement uf tholr own
community of interests. It was necessary
fur thu states burn represented to spur pub-
IIu op'nlan ' : those In power may hold it in
greater value than they may scum lo.

WAIIHSOTOS , Oct.4. --In the senate tod.ty
the open suggestion of a compromise on the
repeal bill was niado unit attracted the
closest attention on both sides of the cham
ber. , Knnator Uutlcr of South Carolina In an
lintiHsslonud ipecch against the parsing of
the bill madu cumpromlso tliu salient point ,
lu reply to thu question which ho said
had been asked over and over again as to
when a vote would ha had on the bill , ho
said : "Compromise Is the solution of lliu
struggle here. "
He denied tlio minority of the senate was
attempting to courco anybody , nnd added
they , themselves , did not intend to lie coerced.
The minority , husiiiil , represented millions
of citizens and billions of property , and
would not yield because . the majority
thought It was tlmu to takn a vote. Mr.
Utitler went on to defend the president
against the charge of Interfering with an
independent and co-ordlnato department of
thu government. When a suggestion of
compromise has bcon made , ho said it had
been whispered around that the pres
ident would not accept u compromise.
That docs that high ofllcial great
Injustice , because it " is none of his
business what the senate does , UI don't
believe ho has attempted to usu his blu'h
olllco to Influence legislation In this body , "
said Mr. Uutlur. "As to what bankers
wanted , ho said the most unsafe advice fur
congress on financial ( piestlous came from
the New York and Boston bankers. In the
very nature of their calling , they hud be-
cotno solllsh and callous. "
At tno end of Mr. Hutler's remarks Mr.
Blackburn of Kentucky stioko in
opposition to ropu.il and said
that If hn were obliged to choose
between a gold and silver basis for the
pr > for a silver ono. IIu hoped some accept
able comproun.su would bu reported ,
Mr. Blackburn closed his speech by stating
that while lie allowed no ono to exceed him
In friendship for and loyalty to silver ho
would not engairo In any obstructive tactics
in opposition to the bill. The people do-
mand'-d aotlon and they were entitled to
know their fate.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 4. Secretary Carlinlo
sent today to the house his reply to the reso
lution of that body asking him why -100,000
ounces of silver were not purchased during
July and August , as required by law. Tlio
reply says that us the United States is the
largest purchaser of silver in the world the
secretary , after an examination of the
offurs and quotations each nay , should
determine whut , in his judgment , is a fair
market price. lie either had to purchase
400,000 ounces at the dealers' prices , no
matter how unreasonable or exorbitant they
muy bo , or ho must employ such moans a't
his command to ascertain the actual mar
ket price. The effort of the department
since Juno 12 bus been to simply ascertain
the fair market price of bullion on each day

tuinod , to niiko purchases at that price.
