Lord Aldenham Says That the United States bleans Business and Expects to Succeed In Bringing About International Bimetaliisih. Manchester, June 3.—The annual meeting of the Bimetallic league open- ed here. There was a large attendance, including more than 50 delegates from labor associations, mostly Lancashire spinners and weavers. The lord mayor of Manchester welcomed the delegates. Letters of regret were read from Lord Aldenham, a director of the Bank of England; the'first lord of the treasury, A. J. Balfour; Alfred de Rothschild, the consul general for Austria; the Duke of Fife, son~in-law of the Prince of Wales; the Marquis of Lorne, and others. Regret Ovc'r “lulkcr’s Death. The annual report of the league ex- pressed the deepest regret at the death of General Francis A. “Talker of Bos- ton, classed as economic authorities of the century.” The report said the most important event- of the year was the election for president in the United States, “when Bryan polled 6,500,000 votes on the plat— form Of national bimetallism and Mc— Kinley polled 7,000,000 vbtes on a plat- form pledging him to promote interna- tional bime:allism.” The report then refers to the support alleged to have been given to interna- tional bimetallism by M. Meline, the French premier, in the chamber of dep- uties, and touches upon the mission to Europe of Senator VVolcott of Colo- .rado, which “was so successful that it led to the appointment of the special mission now in France, to which it is earnestly hoped such co-operation will be accorded by leading nations that an international agreement will be con- cluded at an early date.” The Prospects Hopeful. The report of the Bimetallic league concludes as follows: “While the neces— sity for international bimetallism was never greater than at present, the council can with confidence affirm that never since 1873 have the prospects been so hopeful. In View of the serious at- tempt now making to secure a settle- ment on an international basis, it ear- nestly calls on all friends of monetary reform to redouble their efforts during the coming year.” Lord Aldenham’s letter of regret says: “The greatest evidence of the progress of the cause is shown in the famous resolution _.of the house Of com— mons in March, 1896, and in the prom- ises of the chancellor of the exchequer. Such promises are not made and such resolutions are not adopted without the certainty that they are consonant with the general wish of the nation. Our objects will be gained if the United States and France or some other great commercial nation agree to carry the matter; through, even without England, though it would be only political wis- dom to add our forces to theirs. “The United States llIeans Business.” “It is certain that the United States -means business and expects success, or the president would not have sent Sen— ator Wolcott and his colleagues to ne- gotiate, and it is satisfactory to know from the chancellor of the exchequer that he will do all he can to facilitate the mission. We should not relax our efforts to secure the wisest solution and equal agreement with the United States, France and Germany. If preju- dice prevents this, we should do our best to second the efforts of the chan- cellor of the exchequer and thus make the American mission successful.” The letters of Mr. Balfour and Mr. Chaplin express continued sympathy with the bimetallic movement. George Gould Goes Abroad. New York, June 3.-—Mr. and Mrs. George J. Gould, with their five chil— dren, accompanied by a trained nurse, three maids, two valets and two gov- ernesses, sailed on the St. Louis for Europe. “I may be away for about two months,” said Mr. Gould. “The passage of the tariff bill will help busi- ness materially. Business men will know then what to calculate on, and so can proceed to make and carry out their plans." Hoke Smith’s Home In Flames.
