Committee of McKinley League Will
Look Alter the Colored Delegates.
St. Louis, June 9. This city tonight
Is the camping grounds of a great army
on the eve of battle. . .
The McKinley hoots, overpowering In
numbers and contldent of victory, await
the issue complacently. The outlylnsr
camps dedicated to "favorite sons"
have but the shadowy hope that some
thing unforeseen may happen to turn
the tide of battle In their favor.
The Reed men, the Allison men, and
In fact all other than McKinley men re
fuse to give a roster of their pledged
delegater and refer vaguely to breaks
on the second ballot Lieutenants of
the Ohio man answer this by suylng
tuere will be no second ballot. Ther was
some nebulous gossip, late this evening,
touching combinations to prolong the
contest, but all efforts to resolve this
Into certainty met with the reply:
"Walt until after Manley comes."
One unpleasant feature that promised
to embarrass the local committee of
entertainment Is hapily arranged to the
satisfaction of all. The negro delegates
upon their arrival will lind good quar
ters provided for them and prompt and
civil atentlon at a MiMt-cluss hotel.
Judge Long, of Florida, and Committee
man Hill, of Mississippi, received these
assurances tonight and expressed them
selves satisfied. These gentlemen came
In advance of their delegations and
discovered that through some misun
derstanding their colored delegates
were not provided for, but are now sat
isfied that the local committees will
carry out every promise.
The prominent arlrvsls tonight In
cluded Jos H. Manley, of Matne;Senator
('.ear, of Iowa; Senator Hansbrough, of
North Dukota; Senator Slump, of
Idaho; Chairman Thomas Carter, of
Montunn; J. S. Hammer, National com
mitteeman Irom Indian territory;
Wright Cuney, dclegate-at-bvge from

from Mississippi; T. I. Klordan, of
California; Powell Clayton, National
committeeman from Arkansas; W. H.
Scott, West Virginia: Isauc M. Potter,
Rhode Island, and W. U. Hearst, of
Cullforuln.
Chairman Munley was visited to
night by score of politicians all eager
to press claims of various ports, but Mr.
Manley pleaded fatigue from his long
Journey and retired early.
PROBAULE CHAIRMEN.
Cleveland, June 9. Backed up by the
slate made by McKinley's inanagor,
Hon. C. W. Falrbunks, of .IuClar.apoMa.
will be made temporary chairman of the
St. Louis convention and Hon. John M.
Thurston, of Nebraska, will be perma
nent chairman, i
These (elections come In th? nature of
a surprise, as neither had been promi
nently mentioned during the canvas rr
the pMiitions. It had been understood;
that the selections would be either Mer
rlam. of Minnesota, who refused the
honor a month ago; Uulkeley, of Con
necticut; Alger, of Michigan; Evans, of
Tennessee; Warner Miller, of New
York, or Haftlngs, of Pennsylvania
with General Charles R. Grosvenor, of
Ohio, as a pnsslbllty. These men were
all carefully considered as to their pe
culiar fitness for the positions by Mc
Kinley"? managers, and for one reason
or another were rejected. During the
heat of the campaign John M. Thurs
ton had been one of McKinley's most
active supporters. At one time he was
mentioned as the man to make Inn
nomination speech for McKinley, and
when Foraker was given that honor a
di-ul was made whereby Thurston was
to receive an equally high honor.
When Hon. C. W. Fairbanks was In
Cleveland three weeks ago, he was con
sidered as the proper man to preside
over the convention during Its first ar
duous deliberations. His ketnness nnd
sagacity ns one of the first lawyers of
the Hoosler state and a leader of the
state Republican forces peculiarly fit
ted him for the task. Another strong
argument In his favor was that by thus
honoring Indiana, McKinley would be
assured of its unanimous support and
effectually kill- any attempt to boom
Harrison at the Inst moment.
TO BOOM V. S. GRANT.
St. Louis. June 9. Hon. Richard C.
Kerens and ex-Congressman Nathan
Frank returned from Canton, Ohio, this
morning, where they went In response
to an Invitation from Major McKinley
for a conference. Both gentlemen say
they had a pleasant visit, but declined
to state what was discussed at the con
ference. Judge Trumbo, of Salt Lake, is In
charge of a silver resolution which will
be presented to the committee on reso
lutions and Is canvassing the situation
and securing signatures to the resolu
tion fast as favorably inclined mem
bers ot the committee arrive. Part of
California?, delegation arrived today
and Inaugurated, a boom for Ulysses S.
Grant for the vl-presldency.
George Knight, of San Francisco. Is
with the party and will plnce Grant In
nomination. It Is predicts d by the Cnll
fornlan that unbounded enthusiasm
will follow the oratorical effort, which
Is sure to associate father and son and
please the Grand Army sentiment.
HANNA'S CONTINGENT.
Cleveland, June 9. Wearing the air
of a conquering host, the advance guard
of the McKinley boom, with Manager
M. A. Hanna in the lead, marched to
the Union Depot at 1 p. m. today, where
they embarked for the St. Lmils conven
tion on the Big Four flyer at 1.40 p. m.
No demonstration was made when the
train pulled out of the depot, which was
In accord with Mr. Hanna'B wishes.

vanish like the midsummer mist after
break of day, with the new regime."

M. Louis.
Phladelphla. June 9. Senator Quay
arrived here today from Washington on
his way to his home In Reaver, whence
he will go to the Republican national
convention at St. Louis. A reporter
asked him -whether he thought there
would be any trouble over the silver
question at St. Louis. The senator re
plied: "1 have heard so much about that for
the past three weeks I am tired of It."
"Will there be a nomination on the
first ballot for president?" was asked.
"Yes." '
"Will It be McKinley?"
"I think so."
"Wilt you withdraw ns a candidnte
for the presidential nomination?"
The senator laughed and said:
"I had said that I would shoot the
first man who nsked me that question.
Hut I am harmless; I am without arms.
I am still a candidate."
"Will your name be withdrawn be
fore the first ballot is over?"
"Not unless the other candidates do,"
replied Mr. Quay.
"Will the Pennsylvania representa
tive on the committee on resolutions
stand out for a gold standard plut
form ?"
"He ought to," was the non-committal
reply.
"Who will be nominated for vice
president?" "I don't know."
"Do you think It will be Governor
Hastings?"
"Indeed, I cannot tell."
Senator Quay further stated. that he
had not heard of any effort to head off
McKinley.
llr. Quay left for Beaver tonight.
MUSICAL SUCCESS.
Many Persons Turned Away from the
Pittsburg Ssngcrfcst Concert.
Some Friction Developed.
Pittsburg, Pa June . The occasion
ally heavy showers today did not damp
en the enthusiasm that has character
ized the national Haetigerfest. The
forenoon was occupied In rehearsals,
and in the afternoon the first matinee
concert was given. .
The Cincinnati singing association
mnde a hit In the matinee concert, by
their rendition of Storch. "Charm of
Night," this being the first opportunity
that was had of realizing the actual
purpose of the festival that of mass
chorus singing.
Director Louis Ehrgott had his sing
ers under perfect control. and their work
was precise, well modulated, with as
much shading as a male chorus can
show.
The nudk-nc? at tonight's concert was
a brilliant one and many people were
turned away for Inek of room. The sp5
clal feature was the great chorus of 2,
000 voices, mnde up of visiting societies
besides the local organizations.
Much tnterst wan taken In the rendi
tion for the first time of the cantata,
"The New World," by Heinrich Zoell
ner. of New York, the director of the
Fest. The composition, which Is a
school of Wagner, was very successful.
The soloists wtre Frau Lohse-Klafsky
and Mr. Cor.rud Behrens.
A new sornr. "Now Will the Roses
Bloom," by Carl A hi, of Pittsburg, arso
evoked much applause and favorable
comment.
Some friction developed at reheasal
today, amounting almost to a revolt of
mnny of the singers and the orchestra,
owing to the apparently arbitrary se
verity of Director Zoellner, and to a
difference between the latter and As
sistant Director Ahi. It Is rosfllle that
the difficulty Is not all over yet. How
ever, the clash was k pt out of the two
concerts today, and at each was the
most exquisite harmony. The rush for
seats for the concert Is unprecedented
In the history of the Saengcrbund and
the trensurer, Adolph Steddlng, Is con
fident the receipts will meet all the ex
penses of the Fest and that from the
point of view of th? box office, the Pitts
burg FeFt will be a great success.

CARLISLE TALKS
ON BOND ISSUES
Secretary's Statement to the Seaate
Sub-Committee on Finance.
HISTORY OF THE BOND SALES
Drainage of old to Meet the Re
qnirciiiciitK of Foreign Purchases
Are the Cause of the TroubleThe
Indittcrcncc of Congress.
Washington, June 9. The reply of
Hon. John (I. Carlisle, secretary ot the
treasury, to the Inquiries of the sub
committee on finance of the United
States senate, charged with the inves
tigation of the sale of bonds of the
United States In the years 1894-5-6, was
made public today.
The secretary tractd the beginning of
the trouble back to the closing year of
President Hurrison'g administration
and brings the history down to Mr.
Cleveland's first issue of bonds In the
following statement: .
"Latgrly on account of ap rehetiFior.s
In this country and abroad ais to the
ability of the government of the United
States to continue the current redemp
tion of Its notes in gold coin, and mnln
tain the parity of the two metals, the
exports of gold during the fiscal year
1SS3. which closed June 30. 1893, reached
the unprecedented amount of $108,680,
844, nearly all of which was withdrawn
from the public treasury by the pres
entation of notes for redemption. On
the 81st day of December, 1S92. the free
gold In the treasury amounted to $121,
2C6.6G .29. but by January 31, 1893, It had
been reduced to $108,181,713.53, and on
the 28th of February It had fallen to
$103,284.2191. or only $3,281,218.91 In ex
cess of the lawful reserve. The reserve
fund would have fallen below $100,000,

cessor in ofllce l:a l not effected arrange
ments hi January nnd February by
which the mm iff about $S.25O,0'J0 In gold
was procured from vertaltf' bankers nt
New York l:i exchange for United States
notes and otherwise.
"Notwithstanding the most strenu
ous efforts by the department to mali
taln the $100,000,000 reserve Intact, the
presentation of notes for redemption to
procure gold fur shipment abroad con
tinued to such an extent that, on tne
22d day of April. ISIS, fjr the first time
since the fund was established. It be
came necessary to use a part of It for
redemption purposes, and It was re
duced to $95,432,357; but It was after
wards Increased by exchanges of oth:r
forms of currency for gold, so that on
the tenth day of August It had been
fully restored, and there was on hand
$103,883,290 In free gold; but by Decem
tft r 30. 1S93. It had fallen to0.801,60l.l3,
and was reduced on the 17th day of Jan
uary. 1894, to the sum of $69,757,821. The
Cash balance In the treasury excluding
the current liabilities, but Including the
gold reserve and all subsidiary and
minor coin, was only $83,901,402. Very
little gold was being received on ac
count of dues to the government and It
was therefore Imposslhl; to Increase th?
reserve without resorting to the Issue
and sale of bonds, under the authority
conferred by the act of January 14.
1875, commonly known ns the resump
tion act. At this date there was no free
gold coin In the treasury, all the coin
on hnnd being covered by outstanding
certificates. The $69,757,821 then held as
free gold was in the form of bullion."
THE FIRST BIDS.
Quoting the provisions of law which
authorizd this course to be taken, Mr.
Carlisle proceeds to state than on "Jan.
17, 1894, bids were Invited for fifty mil
lions of B per cent, bonds on not to ex
ceed a 3 per ckrA. basis. The proceeds
of this sale amounted to the sum of
$58,660,917.63, which was paid Into the
treasury In gold coin and gold certifi
cates. The circumstances which led to
the next Issue are then described and
the result of this proposition was that
486 bids w?re received, amounting to
$178,836,050, nearly all of which were at
rates which would yield to the Investors
3 per cent, or less upon the sums award
ed to them. One bid for the whole sum
of $50,000,000 'all or none,' upon the basis
Of 2.878 per cent, being the most ad
vantageous offer for the government
that was made, was accepted, and the
proceeds of the sale, $58,538,500, were
paid Into the treasury according to the
terms of sale. The payments into the
treasury on account of this sale were
not entirely completed until the Dec. 1,
1894, and it soon became evident that
the trenrnclion had not been effectual
to stop withdrawals nf gold and by Feb.
R, 1893, the reserve had been reduced to
$41,340,181, and several millions more
had been demanded.
"These large withdrawals were due
almost entirely so far as could be as
certained to a feeling of apprehension
In the, public mind, especially among
the holders of our securities abroad,
which increased in Intensity from day
to day until it reached the proportions
of a panic In the financial centers, and
It was evident to all who were familiar
with the situation that unless effectual
steps were promptly taken to check the
growing distrust, the government
would be compelled within a few days to
suspend gold payments and drop to a
silver and paper standard. The situa
tion was so grave that the attention of
congress was called to the subject by
a special message from the president of
the United States on Jan. 28, 1895."
CONGRESS INDIFFERENT.
"Congress," Mr. Carlisle says, "failed
to pass any measure for the relief of the
treasury) or to take any action calcu
lated to rfllay the serious apprehensions
then existing In the public mind and
consequently, a contract was entered
into by the secretary of the treasury on
the eighth day of February, 1895, with
August Belmdnt & Co., of New
York, on behalf of themselves, and
Messrs. N. M. Kothsehlds & Son, of
London, and J. P. Morgan & Co.,
of New York, on behalf of them
elven, and J. 8. Morgan & Co., of
London, for the purchase of 3,600,000
ounces of standard gold, at the price of
$17,804.41 per ounce, to be paid for by the
delivery of United States bonds havtlfg
thirty years to run and bearing four
per oent. interest, and the gold to be de
posited at the United States sub-treaa-urles.

whom it was made, stipulated that they
would, as far as lies in their power,
exert all financial influence and make
all legitimate t torts to protect the
treasury of the United States against
the withdrawals of gold, pending the
complete performance of this contract.
One ounce of standard gold was worth
$18,604.65 anil the difference between
that sum and the contract price $17,
804.41) represented the premium re
ceived by the government on the bonds,
making the price at which the bonds
were necepted $104.4946. At this price
they would yield to the Investor 3.75
per cent, per annum."
A bill was introduced In the house of
representatives to authorize the substi
tution of 3 per cent, bonds payable In
gold, for the 4 per cent, bonds described
in the contract, but It failed to pass, and
consequently the parties proceeded to
complete the transaction of exchange of
gold for 4 per cent. 30-year bonds, ac
cording to the terms of the contract.
The agreement by the put ties of the sec
ond part hut they would, as far as in

of the gold had been furnished from
abn od, the secretary, in order to pre
vent disturbances In the rate of foreign

ate a condition which would force gold
exports and consequent withdrawals.
acquiesced In a departure from the
lineal terms of the contract requiring
one-half of the coin to be procured
abroad, and accepted deposits of gold
then held In this country to complete
the delivery.
Replying to that part of the senate
resolutions which directs the committee
to investigate and report "what effect
the bond sales had on the credit and
business of the people of the United
States," the secretary says that In his
opinion the sales were necessary for
