ference committee on the Currency bill
reported that the committee had adopted
the bill as passed by the Senate, except
that the amount of new currency was fixed
at "a 900, 900 instead of As The Con-
troller of the Currency is to provide i'm
mediately for the distribution of this in
creased circulation, giving the Western
States what they were entitled to under
the existing law, and that as soon as the
census returns were in, redistribution
was to be made.
During the evening session Mr.. Sum-
ner called up the bill to refund to the
State of Massachusetts, the interest due on
advances to the United States during the
war of 1912, and Mr.. Bayard, of Della
ware, made the sharp point that any claim
on the part of Massachusetts, for services
in the war of 1912 should be presented to
the British government instead of the
United States.

A SpEcK OF WAR.-The news from
Europe suddenly assumes warlike aspect.
The attitude of France towards Prussia
and Spain, on the question of the Spanish
succession, is menacing, and apparently
forces Prim and Bismarck into the un-
pleasant dilemma of backing down or
fighting. In the Corps Legislatif, We'd
nesday, the Duke of Gromont, Minister of
Foreign Affairs, announced that General
Prim had offered the throne of Spain to
the Prince of Hohenzollern, who had ac-
cepted it. The Duke said that the French
government would persist in its policy OF
neutrality, but under no pretext would it
permit German power to place one of its
princes on the throne of Charles the Fifth
He hoped, however, that prudence in Ger
many and wisdom in Spain would avert
ertremitieS. In this connection it is tele-
graphed that on Tuesday afternoon Prime
Minister Olivier had an interview with
the Emperor, the result of which was O

The Jmno,;o, Corrt of Fr,noa ,,.s .on,

The Imperial Court of France has gone
into mourning for the death of Jerome
Patterson Bonaparte, late of Baltimore.
The Emperor Napoleon never recognized
tho marriage of his relative with Miss
Patterson, because it interfered with his
ambitious schemes of allying his family
to the crowned heads of Europe. Himself
u parvenuc, he was not above the funky-
ism too common with people of mean ex-
traction, and although with his sword he
cut his way through many formidable OBJ
stacles to thrones for himself and family,
he acknowledged, by his acts, that he was
not satisfied with himself-with his own
intrinsic worth, merit, and responsibility
but sought to prop and sustain himself So
cially as we'll as politically, by alliances
with those who, in his own estimation
moved upon a plane elevated above hi.
own, simply because of their connection
with some reigning dynasty. Miss Pat
terson herself betrayed similar weakness
and but for that would have received NOR,
sympathy in her domestic troubles. He
head was turned at the idea of an alliance
with one who bore the name of Bona
parte, and like many silly American girl
of the present day, who run crazy afte
titled foreigners, she betrayed an eager
ness for the alliance, consummated it to-
hurriedly and unadvisedly, and thus lie
herself down from the lofty pedestal Of
which she stood, as one of the queens O
American society, unrivalled for he
wealth and beauty. She should hav
spurned the profered hand of her suitor
unless received into his family as the pee
of the proudest and best of them. Sh
still survives, being over ninety years G
age, and we trust has outlived the vanit
that could feel fattered by this recogni
tion of her deceased son by the Frenc
Court.

The President has commenced his con-
templated changes in federal offices for the
fall campaign by appointing for New York
city new collector, sub-trcasurer, dis
trict attorney and naval officer. The an
nounccment created quite a futtering

York, and no little indignation, especial
ly as regards the new collector, for nearly
all the radical members from that State
signed protest to the President few
days since, against the appointment. This
is followed by the Presidents going out o.
the way to remove Gen. Merritt as nava
officer, and the confident and steadfas

President Grants pet scheme for the
purchase of San Domingo, failed in the
Senate on Thursday of last week. 1t re-
ceived only % votes out of 70. 1t re-
quires two-thirds to ratify the treaty, and
it was therefore rejected by very deci-
sive vote. This result, after President
Grant condescended to lobby in its favor,
is an evidence of his waning popularity in
his party.

British yacht Cambria, started on their
ocean race on Monday, having been tow
ed out of Queenstown harbor at 2.30 P Nj. d.
On the firing of the signal gun they drop

The opinion prevails that with a favoring
wind and quiet sea, the American will
win, but if the weather should be rough,
that the victory will be with the Briton.
