LATE CABLE DISPATCHES

PARls, Nov. 25-Evtning. The Empe-
rors of Russia and Austria have formally sig.
nifed their intention of participating in the
proposed conference for the settlement of the
Roman question, as suggested by Napoleon,
as have also nearly oil the smaller powers OF
Europe. The course that Russia may pur-
sue in the matter ia not officially known, but
is believed that she will send representatives.
The note recently sent from Great Britain on
the subject is accepted here as mere formal
objection. The Pope is known to oppose, in
advance, any action Of the conference, which
includes the rights he now enjoys, and par
ticularly any plan divesting him Of his Tempo
raj power.

There seems TO be some question as to
whether this fund ia really portion of the

Mr.. Samuel Watson, who has in charge the
affairs Of the old State Bank, claims the
fund as portion of the assets of that in
stitution, and that both he and DIR. Elliott,
Chairman of the COMMITTEES Of Ways and
Means, in the lower House of the LegisIa-
ture, deny that this is any portion Of the
school fund. We are also informed that
Mr., Watson has declared his intention to
assert in the courts the claims Of the Bank

A Washington dispatch to the Cincin-

The Committee on Bsnkingof the House
held an important meeting TO day, and vir-
tually decided on what is known -
the Randall bill, which substitutes legal
tender mates for the national bank notes,
and requires the banks TO give up their
bonds and their notes and receive in return
therefor greenbacks. An amendment was
was adopted to the bill giving any indi-
yidual the right to gather national bank
notes and present them to the Treasury for
redemption in greenbacks." This is yir-
tually retiring the circulation of the ma
tional banks, and supplying its place with
greenbacks.
