SENATOR VEST IS STILL DUBIOUS. Considers the National Prospeet of Silver Very Poor. STUPENDOUS POWER OF GOLD. Wants to Make the Fight of His Life for Free Coinage onthe Floor of the Next National Convention. Post-Dispatch. A Post-Dispatch reporter rode from Fayette to Sedalia with Sena- tor Vest Saturday afternoon. The senator had talked over an hour and ahalfina heuse whose accoustic properties are very trying to the voice, but he appeared as strong and chipper as though he had not put in a hard day traveling and speak- ing. His stay at Carlsbad has re- juvenated him, as few persons are benefitted by the treatment there. Old friends who haye seen him re- cently for the first time in several years declare he looks healthier and more robust than at any time since he made that famous canvass for the gubernatorial nomination, when he was defeated, only to be elected to the United States senate by the suc- ceeding legislature. Senator Vest reiterates his views as to the improbability of the silver’ forees centrolling the next national democratic convention ard which he announced in the Post-Dispatch soen after his return to Europe. “I am still convinced,” said the senator, “that the chance of the suc- cess of the free coinage element in the next national convention are slim, and I would be untrue to my- self if I did not thus frankly tell our people what my estimate of the prespect is. Any other expression now only tends to deceive and to build up phantom hope. I speak as a man of much experience in conven- tion work. I know the influences that control cenventions and shape their course. 1am perfectly satis- fied that there are many more 16 to-1 free coinage democrats than there are Cleveland democrats, but the money power and the incalculable influence of the great metropolitan press are on the aide of the Cleve. land democrats, and nobody knows what that means better than I do. It is then a condition and not a the- ory that confronts us. “Let's analyze the condition a lit- tle and see what satisfation there is in it for the free ceinage democrats. In the first place we will place the whole of New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania in the gold standard column. Those states are as sure to send delegations solid for the Cleveland policy of finance asthat the convention meets. I don’t suppese any sane man will doubt that for a moment. Thia, then, leaves us the south and west on which to rely for silver votes West Virginia is sure to go against us, and if we get half of the delega- tion in old Virginia we will do well. Ohio, which has heretofore been pronounced on the side of silver, has fallen inte the hands of Brice, and he seems to be able to do as he pleases in that state with his money. Ohio must therefore be accounted against us. As to Kentucky, the administration has shown what it can do with a convention in that state by its complete manipulation of that assemblage at Louisville in June. Uadoubtedly there are more free silver democrats than gold mon- ometallists in Kentucky, but they do not belong to the class of men who know how to control conven- tiens. I therefore look to Kentucky to send a divided delegation to the next national convention, with the big end of the division in the hands of the gold bugs I look for the same thing in Indiana. “Over in Illinois our friends have been quick te make a demonstration, but I rather seriously doubt their ability to bold their own when the crucial test comes. By that, I mean that when the preparations are put under way for selecting delegates to the National Convention the free coinage Democrats will find all the vast moneyed interests of the State arrayed against them, and if they can go through such a fight as will ensue with credit to themselves they will be entitled to mest anything | they ask for, and if they get half the delegates they will do very well. I don’t suppose anybody doubts the ability of the Administration forces here in Missouri to contrel at least one or two Congressional districts, notably the Twelfth, so that even Missouri, where the free silver sen- timent in the Democracy is over- whelming, is almost certain to send a divided delegatation to the next convention. Louisiana and Tennes- see will do the same, and the Ad- ministration ought to be able to do something in Georgia. “But it is useless te further pur- sue this analysis. I undertook it only to give some hints as to the real condition which we must face. “I do not belong to the ostrich class of politicians. I don’t believe in sticking my head in the sand so I can't see myself and believe other people can’t see me. It is wicked for a public man to deceive his con stituents. For me to claim that vic- tory is assured to our element of the party in the next national conven- tion when my eyes and ears tell me differently would be as wicked a thing as I could be guilty of. I want it understood that I haven't given up the fight, nor shall I if we lose in the convention. I have just entered the battle and I propose to stay in it tothe end. I hope to go to the next national convention and there make the fight of my life for silver. But I expect to get whipped and this expectation makes me all the more desperate and determined. I have been a fighter on the floor ef too many conventions not to know the efficiency of the methods employ- ed by the enemies of silver. They will find the weak spot in the char- acter of every delegate elected and attack him there with good results to their own cause. If necessary, tkey will manage somehow to make as meny of the delegates ‘sick’ as are necessary to accomplish their main purpose. “With all the money, all the rail- roads, many of which are directly under the influence of the Adminis- tration by being in the hands of reeeivers, and nearly all of the big daily newspapers of the continent on their side, what is it that the goldbugs cannot accomplish in the National conventions of both the great parties next year? I consider it my duty to warn the people of this danger and I shall not be sweryed from my purpose by the ery of cowardice uttered by my enemies. The people have the strength, but they don’t know how to use it. If they could be thorough- ly aroused and kept to their guns until the fight is oyer I would have no apprehension as to the result.” When Senator Vest was asked if he had read Congressman DedAr- mond’s letter to the Post-Dispatch criticising the Senator for taking such a gloomy view of the future, he said he had not “But,” Senator Vest eontinued, “I can understand about what DeArmond would say on the subject. He is a mighty good representative, but a very poor politician. He is a profound student of political economy and the science ef government, but he doesn’t know much about prastical politics. As I stated at the outset, I have been fighting ia conyention a great many years and I believe I know exactly what I am talking about at the present time.” WILD WITH ECZEMA Hands and Limbs Covered with Blisters, and Great Red Blotches. COULD NOT SLEEP Lay Awake Night after Night Scratching Until almost Wild. BURNED LIKE FIRE Speedily Cured by CUTICURA REMEDIES I was a sufferer for eight years from that most distressing of all diseases, Eczema, but can now say truthfully that I am entirely cured. I tried some of the best physicians in the country, but they did me little good. The palms of my hands were covered, and ‘Would become inflamed; little white blisters at first would appear, then they would peel off, leaving a red, smooth surface which would burn like fire and itch; weil, there is no name for it. On the inside of the upper part of both my limbs, great red blotches not unlike hives would appear, and as soon as I became warm, the burning and itching would begin. wieee after night I would lie awake all night and scratch, and almost go wild. I heardof CuricuRA remedies, got a box of CUTICURA (ointment), a bottle of a RESOLVENT (blood purifier), and gave them a thorough trial, and after a few applications I noticed the redness and intlammation disappear; de- Sore Thad used one bor there was nota sign of left.

A Vigorous Attempt Will Be Made to Rearrange Its Committees. THE TREASURY SITUATION. Another Bond Issue Thought to Be Im- probable for Some Considerable Time —Gold May Soon Be Unloaded by the Banks for Notes. WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.—Senator Sher- man’s interv upon senate reorgan- ization has caused much speculation concerning the action to be taken by the senate when the Fifty-fourth con- gress meets. Reports are revived of a combination of silver senators of both parties for a division of the offices and committees. These reports are based principally upon the statement made early in the summer by Senator Du- bois, of Idaho, who permitted the impression to become current that a deal had been arranged looking tosuch a consummation. That there will be a vigorous attempt made to re- arrange the committees, when the sen- ate opens, is beyond question. The basis will be, however, a protest on the part of the younger senators against what they im to be unwarranted, seltish and undue share of senatorial honors secured under existing condi- tions by the older senators. This re- volt has beeu growing for years and was inaugurated by western senators. In case of reorganization, the ob- jectors «propose that such senators as Hoar, Sherman, Hale, Hawley, Platt, Morgan and others shall not be per- mitted to monopolize all the important committees. This action is demanded in order that other senators may be given their share of influence in the initiating of legislation, and the pat- ronage which often accrues in the de- partments from the fact that the im- portuning senator serves upon the committee to which that department must look for active work on its behalf in the senate. A special point of attack is to be made upon the appropriation commit- tee which in the senate handles all the appropriation bills coming from the house. It has been proposed by the younger senators to divide the appro- priation bills among the several com- mittees having in charge matters of which such bills refer as is done in the house of representatives. The Treasury Situation. WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.—Secretary Car- lisle’s statement in his Boston speech in regard to the responsibility which would lie with the next congress for an amendment of the national finan- cial system has called attention to an important situation in the treasury department, and also to the fact that there is not likely to be another bond issue until next spring, when the republican congress will be in power, and will certainly be asked to prevent such necessity. At the treas- ury department, as well as in the financial world, all talk of an addi- tional bond issue seems to have sub- sided, and certainly there seems at this time to be no contingency under which gn issue will be necessary until at least midwinter. The present state of foreign exchange issuch that it will not be profitable to export gold for any time untilas late as February, when the balance may again turn against us. This very security felt at the treasury department adds to the political em- barrassments which will confront the republican party and emphasizes the position which Secretary Carlisle’s specch foreshadows for the administra- tion. Even in February there may still be such a strong treasury that the bond issue will still be wholly out of question. There is a strong expecta- tion, which cannot yet be said to have become a firm conviction, that the business situation may be so favorable that no new bond issue will be required. One of the moving causes of the ex- port of gold during the summer was the steady pressure of the masses of idle paper currency issued under the legal tender laws and piled up in the New York bank reserves. The fact that the bank reserves in all the large commer- cial cities show a decided reduction ac- cording to the latest reports to the comptroller is an indication that the masses of idle money are being absorbed by the expansion of business and that this cause of gold exports has ceased to operate. Gold imports are expected during the next few weeks, and while they may not be covered directly into the treasury, it is believed that they will tend to increase the treasury re- serve. The mere reduction of bank re- serves is expected to bring gold into the treasury which is now held by in- terior banks in order to obtain cur- rency. The gold is less easy to handle than notes and certificates, and is like- ly to be unloaded by the banks as their margin of paper money is reduced. Twenty-one Seamen Missing. Lonpon, Oct. 15.—A dispatch from Valparaiso, Chili, announces that the American ship Parthia, Capt. Carter, from Liverpool on June 25 for San Francisco with coal, was burned at sea on October lL. Several of ber crew landed in one of the ship's boats, but the captain, chief mate and nineteen of the crew, who left the wreck in boats, are still missing. Weapons in the St. Joseph Jail St. Joseru, Mo., Oct. 15.—The coun- ty jail was searched by Sheriff Andri- ano and his deputies yesterday. Since the fight Saturday night, in which Oliver Stewart was fatally shot, the sheriff suspected that same of the pris- oners were armed.

Cuicago, Oct. 15.—A special to & morning paper from Des Moines, Ia, says that it is stated on good republic- an authority that the republican state central committee has completed a poll ofthe preferences of the republican candidates for the legislature in the matter of the resubmission of the pro- hibition amendment and has found that a majority of them favor resub- mission. The situation has alarmed the republican managers both within and without the central committee, who | are anxiously working to further the interests of Senator Allison as a presi dential candidate. They were afraid thatif the legislature which re-elects Allison to the senate should go on record as favoring prohibition it would prejudice Allison as a candidate for president in the eyes of the repub- licans of other states. Under these vircumstances a special effort will be made to elect anti-prohibitionists who have been nominated by the repub- licans in several close counties, in or-| der to keep the republican legislative | eaucus from being too strongly dom- inated by the prohibitionists A PHYSICAL WRECK. The Defaulting Fort Scott Bank Cashier Very Sick—His Wife's Sacrifices. Forr Scorr, Kan., Oct. 15.—J. R. Colean, the defaulting hier of the State bank of this city, which was compelled to close its doors yesterday, arrived here this morning accompanied by his wife and little daughter. He came voluntarily from St. Louis as he promised President D. F. Coon he would when sent for. He is a mental and physical wreck and it was nec- essary to carry him from the train toa carriage. His physicians say that he cannot live long. Mrs. Colean has giv- en up her diamonds and paid up life insurance of several thousand dollars acd all she has to the bank. It now appears that Colean’s short- age cannot be less than $30,000. When asked if the bank officers would prose- cute him, Vice President Stewart said that he thought they would not, but that State Bank Commissioner Breid- enthal might cause his arrest when the examination of the bank's affairs is completed. The condition of the bank is thought to be such that the resources, valued in the last statement at $172,000, will fully pay off the $94,- 000 of deposits. FARMERS’ INSTITUTES.

Sr. Louis, Oct. 15.—Police Commis- sioner Lee has sent a letter to each of the ministers of the city asking them if they will uphold him in an heroic effort to enforce the Sunday law, which has been a dead letter since 1857. He says that he is anxious to identify himself with the law-loving element and to enforce ‘‘a decent and orderly observance of the first day of the week.” The Usual Plea. LexineTon, Mo., Oct. 15.—The trial of Henry Rabe, charged with murder in the first degree for shooting his wife last May, has begun here.
