C., Oct. 4.—What part the Administration will play in the New York campaign will probably be disclosed within the next few Gays. The situation has grown so complicated and the pressure upon the President from both factions has become so great that it is expected that Mr. Cleve- and's position will be made known without farther delay. Secretary Lamont has gone to New York. What his purpose Is, is not Known, but it 1s strongly suspected that the State Democracy leaders are anxious to confer with him and to learn it possibile the President’s views on the question of a fight. Secretary Lamont understands better the President’s position in regard to New York politics than any other member of the Cabinet. Within the past few days Mr. Lamont has stated publicly that he intends to support the ticket. In private Mr. Lamont has spoken very hopefully of the outiook in New York, and he has declared moreover that he will do his utmostto promote Democratie suc- cess. Ordinarily Mr. Lamont’s utterances in regard to New York politics may be accepted as ex-cathedra, and it is quite possible that in this lastance he is voc ing the views of the President.

WILLIAM'Ss ARREST. | = An Ex-Oonvict Who Was Implicated in Recent Robberies. An important arrest bas been made by the police. During the past week several large robberies have been committed, the last Deing that of Brownell’s tallor shop os Olive street when about $1,200 worth of goods were stolen. The robberies were cleverly executed and no clews were left. Chief of Detectives Deos mond came to the concigsion that some important criminal or band of them wereat work, and the result proved to be eqyrect. Detectives Viehle and Frese ar- rested Charles Williams at Twenty-third and Market streets. Williams is a three-term ex-convict, having served two terms in Sing Sing of two and one-hbaif and seven years and a five-yearterm at Jefferson City. He was released from the Jefferson ty Peni- tentiary Sept. 2 last, and apparentiy came straight to St. Louis and went to work Last Saturday sight he robbed the residence of Mra. J. Rosenthal, 2950 Chestnut street, rop- ues- j erty, day is also charged with the robbery of ex-Surveyor of the Port James JZ Churehill’s residence, at 3028 Wash ington avenue, on Tuesday night last, when $300 worth of jewelry was stolen. The same the residence of 8. M. at 3018 Pine street, was robbed and about o worth of jewelry stolen, and Willlamsis said to have com- mitted the robbery. Allof the above prop- erty has been recovered by police. Part of it was found on Williams, and the remalnder was found in the possession of a with whom Williams left it. police refuse to give the man’s name. They claim that he is not guilty, the property having been left with him by illiams to be calied for. When Willilans was ar rested he was wearing a hat which was stolen from Matthews & Lafferty’s hat store at 214 North Eiguth street. Chief Des mond thinks that it was Williams who robbed Browrell's tallor shop and he thinks that he most likely did it alone, as he is said to de an unusual criminal. The police claim to have him dead to rights. WITH LOW PRICES The Whisky Trust Will Fight Outsiders im the Future. Peoria, III., Oct. 4.—The abolition of the rebate system will probably be the only action of importance to be takem by the Whisky Trust directors at their present meeting. When the board adjourned at noon the officers said that only routine busi- ness was being considered to- day, and that nothing startling was to be expected. The directors profess tobe pleased with the reception accorded the abandonment of the rebate system by the trade and hope that their relations will be more amicable here- after. The fight of the trust from now on will not be to control the market Dy preventing the purchase of goods from outside houses, but to make prices so low that the trust Will se- cure the trade and drive the outsiders from tie market. and a lowering of prices may be anticipated at any time.

After making numerous statements as to what is done in other cities and States and what is done in Missouri, the communication closes with the statement that the Board of Commisstoners fs inclined to the opinion that the Merchants’ Exchange b mn influenced more by politieal con- siderations.in making its report than by any regard for the interests of the grain pro- ducers of the State. .
