St. Louis, Juno ft. The Republic

Mr. McKinley's position on tho finan

the front in 1800. Mr. Heath said:
Wall street lifts nttemptod to run every tin

It will, ns usual, full. Mil. Mclvlnley is ono

Having disposed of tho Mclvinloy

Yes", Mr. Platl "is proparhig some Mud of n

repeatedly during tho past fow days that ho

said that tho collision was unavoid
able. The Virginia, he said, was run
