At a meeting of the local committee of the Prohibition party at St. Louis Monday nirht It was decided that the city would waly contribute fI.OCO for the National Prohibition Convention. The National Conisnlttee asks 85,000, but the sum is considered exorbitant, and the local sentiment Is that if the National Committee Is not satiated with the offer of 81.000 they are at liberty to hold the convention where they please. It is said that Cincinnati has guaranteed $5,000. Age Didn’t Add to His Price. Charles F.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE. Belief That Secretary Foster Will Arrange for One While Abroad. It is said in New York financial circl4| that although Secretary Foster’s trip abroad Is entirely personal be will meet

Gecrge J. Goschen, the British chancellor of the exchequer, In England, and the ultimate result will probably be that arrangements for an international conference to take action on the silver question will be made. Just before Mr. Foster went on ! (board the steamer ho made the statement that what was almost absolutely necessary was International action on

the sliver question. “And that being the case,” continued tho Secretary, “every effort should be maae to bring about an International conference. England, I feel assured, will do Its part toward making good silver money and to command the confidence of the peoplo of the leading nations, and Germany and France should do their part. The United States will certainly do Its share toward bringing about an international conference. It is impossible for any one nation to stem the current alone.” M’KINLEY ACT VALID.

It was contended that the reciprocity section was unconstitutional because it delegated legislative power to tho executive. Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Lamar dissentod from the opinion of tho court. The Suprorne Court also decided In the worstsd schedule Case of Tho United States vs. Ballin, Joseph & Co., from the Circuit Court of New York, that the law is valid. The decision upholds the power of tho Speaker of the House to count aquorum under the rules of the last House.

As tho grain dealers thought different, however, ho would substitute a clause about which there will not be the slightest ambiguity of phrase. All he wants, ho says, is to stop gambling, and in his mind no legitimate dealer in futures need havo cause for fear. Mr. Hatch, when asked If he would, as reported, advocate the substitution of the Washburn bill, when amended, for bis own bill, which had aroused so much opposition among the greatest grain dealers of the world, leplled that he did not know, but tho probabilities were that he would not INDIANA’S £RETNA GREEN.
