A SILVER _00_N_EENE
Interest In the International Consul-
tation Increased.
OUR GOVERNMENT’S PLANS.
It Has Only Been \Vaiting, It Is Said, For
Other Nations .' to Show a Disposition
to Meet Us Half Way—The views
C
of Some Prominent Men.
WASHINGTON, March 2.—-Talk of the
probabilities of a bimetallic conference,
which has been more or less active since
the parliaments of Great Britain and Ger
many have agitated the question, has been
given fresh impetus by the adoption of
Senator Wolcott’s resolution providing for
the appointment of international confcrces.
The discussion is not confined to either
party nor to any particular factions, and
in the house the feelingis a decidedly hope-
ful one all around that the movement un-
der way will be productive of results. The
United States has only been waiting, it
is generally said, for other governments to
take the initiative or manifest a disposi-
tion to meet us half way, to co—‘opcrate
with them in the inauguration of a plan
for more extensive use of silver. If foreign
powers show that they are in earnest in
the matter, it is said, and proceed to dem-
onstrate the sincerity of their utterances
by action, the sentiment of the United
States would impel the government to act
‘with them. Representative Quigg of New
York. one of the working Republican
members, Said in speaking of the matter:
“The vote in the senate showed substan-
tially that the members of that body who
are in favor of fiat money or inflation are
Populists. This is a most encouraging
sign of a healthy state of public sentiment
on the currency question.
The Republican Contention.
“The Republican party has always.
claimed that sooner or later those foreign
countries whose financial systems are on a
gold basis would tire of pursuing a course
of hostility to silver, and that the way
would open to international bimetallism.
This prediction is being verified, and the
course of the Republican party in doing
what it could to sustain the use of silver
as a money metal without undertaking to
bear the whole burden of its complete re-
habilitation is being vindicated. Of course
no one can say what the issue will be of
another international conference, but it is
certain to be a step in the right direction
and to hasten the day when all the first
class powers will'use silver freely on a. ra-
tio common'to all. The Republican party
is going to do everything it can to bring
forward this day. -
“In the next congress. or as soon as it
is in a position to legislate, it will go at
the question of bimetallism and currency
reform, mindful of the fact that thls coun—
try is 3,000 miles wide; that it contains a
population with interests more or less di-
verse, and that all wise and prudent legis-
lation involves compromise, and it will
endeavor to secure a result that will reflect
the sound sentiment of the the whole coun-
try and secure the best interest-s of all.”
Chairman Springer's Views.
“This movement that has recently start-
ed in Europe,” said Chairman Springer of
the committee on-banking and currency,
”must not be construed into an effort for
the remonetization of silver at a ratio of
16 to 1. On the contrary, there are few if
any European statesmen who believe that
remonetization is possible. Their object
is to secure a ratio so near the intrinsic
value of the two’ metals that the ratio es-
tablished will be the basis of international
exchanges both of gold and silver. A fixed
ratio which could be maintained would
greatly facilitate business and utilize to
the fullest extent of commercial possibili-
ties both metals. What the ratio shall be
is of little consequence except to silver
mine owners. Silver is now being produc-
ed at a profit of 60 cents an ounce. With
the ratio 16 to 1 it would be worth $1.29,
and it is very doubtful whether, if all
countries could acme nnnn lit to 1. such a

ratio could be maintained, owing to thé
fact that production would be stimulated
to such an extent that silver would be as
plentiful as _copper. This movement for
a new monetary system ought to receive
the support of commercial interests regard—
less of any opinions on the use of gold and
silver, for it can only result, if any result
is achieved, in reaching a basis on which
exchange could be carried on on a fixed
basis.”
* Mr. Hepburn’s Idea.
” I am very hopeful that the movements
in Germany and England will be produc-
tive of results,” said Representative Hep-
burn, Republican, Iowa, who is accounted
a silver man. “ Only the politicians have
been heard: from before. The former move-
ments for bimetallic conferences have
always come from governments". This
is a rising of the people, the masses who
have not been heard from before. They
have not clearly realized the tendencies of
financial legislation. If the matter could
be put to a vote, there would be an over-
whelming majority in Germany and in
England, Ibclievc, against destroying one-
half of the money of the world as a money
of ultimate redemption. Even in New
York city the people are against it. I do
not believe there is reason to hope for any
action friendly to silver from President
Cleveland, for if any man has been out-
spoken and honest in his Opposition to sil-
ver he is the man. ‘ He has even gone out
of his way to express his convictions when
it required courage to do so, and if it was
in his power he would place the country
on a basis of absolute gold monometal-
lism,”
Said Representative Straus of New
York: “A small but very active coterie is
working in London to bring about a mon-‘
etary conference. I am hoping that their
efforts will succeed, for if anything is to be
done to increase the use of silver in our
currency it must be done by international
agreement—that is, unless we are to 'go
on to a silver basis, as the free silver'men
would have us. ’ ’

Mr. James says he loves his country,
but he believes in the peaceful secession of

He is a California pioneer. He said: “We

We can produce everything we need right

WORK OF SENATE AND HOUSE
That Hiil-Chandler-Martin-Roach Contro-
versy Had Left Its Mark—Another
Step Toward Paying England’s
,Bering Sea Damages.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-—The demon-
strations in the senate chamber last night
left their traces on the proceedings today.
Senators gathered in groups and discussed
the dramatic scenes of the night the show-
ers of venomous epithets, the tumult on
the floor and in the galleries and consider-
ed whether steps should be taken to up«
hold as far as might be the dignity of the
upper chamber. The three chief fighters
in last night’s conflict, Messrs. Chandler,
Hill and Martin, were early in their seats.
Mr. Chandler conferred with his New
Hampshire colleague, Mr. Gallinger, and
wit-11 Mr. Hoar, Mr. Proctor and others
concerning the events of the night. He
maintained his usual serenity and smiled
frequently as the earnest talk proceeded.
Mr. Hill bpsied himself at his desk,
apparently unrufiicd by what had occurred.
Mr. Roach (N. D. ), who had been a si-
lent but conspicuous figure of the conflict,
was engaged in writing through the early
hours of the session. Several of the veteran
Democratic leaders—Mr. Harris, Mr. Gor—
man and others—conferred as to what
could be done without jeopardizing the
passage of the appropriation bills.
On the surface the senate business pro-
ceedcd' with its usual serenity. A land
bill providing for the extension until Jan.
1,‘ 1897, of the time within which entries
might be made on certain lands was dis-
cussed at length. After some opposition
the bill was passed. -
Mr. Morgan, chairman of the committee
on foreign relations and one of the United
States commissioners on the Bering sea
commission, offered an interesting resolu-
tion concerning payments for Bering sea
seizures. It directed the reference to the
foreign relations committee of the presi—
dent’s message concerning the seizures and
an investigation of the subject during re-
cess. ,
“rants This Country "indicated.
Mr. Morgan said an inquiry was most
desirable for a vindication of the United
States. He referred to the cable reports of
today giving the proceedings of the Brit-
ish parliament. Sir Baden Powell has
urged the payment of the claims of Can'a-
dian sealers by the British government in
order that a direct moral responsibility to
Great Britain might be imposed on the
United States. “There has been enough
of falsehood and misrepresentation in cur-
rent rcports on this subject,” said Mr.
Morgan, ”and it is time that a thorough
investigation should be made for the vin-
dication of the United States.”
Mr. Sherman feared the resolution
might interrupt legislation on the appro-
priation bills toward the settlement of the
claims, but Mr. Morgan explained that
this provision had been struck out by both
houses and was no longer ah issue. Mr.
Turpie (Dcm., Ind.) objected to immedi-
ate consideration of the resolution, and it
went over.
hIr. “’ilson Confirmed.
The senate went into executive session
at 11:40 and immediately confirmed the
nomination of Hon. W. L. Wilson of West
Virginia to be postmaster general. The
motion for confirmation was made by Sen-
ator Faulkner, to whom the privilege was
conceded on account of the fact that he
represents Mr. Wilson’s state in the senate.
Immediately after the Wilson nomination
was disposed of the contested nomination
of A. D. Tinsley to be postmaster at Sioux
Falls, S. D., was taken up and proceeded
with.
At the conclusion of Mr. Kyle’s speech
a vote was taken and Mr. Tinslcy’s nom-
ination was rejected. The vote stood 13
to 41.
In the House.
When the house met today, 50 members,
with uplifted arms, were clamoring for
recognition, but all requests for unani-
mous consent Were cut off by the presenta—
tion of the conference report on the fortifi-
cation appropriation bill, which was
agreed to. The senate amendments to the
sundry civil bill were disagreed to and sent
to conference under suspension of the
rules. The legislative, executive and judi-
cial bill was also sent to conference.
The speaker then recognized Mr. Hatch
to move, under suspension of the rules, to
pass a joint resolution directing the score-
tary of the treasury to publish the dairy
tests made at the Columbian exposition.
