THE APPROACHING CONCLAVE.
THE FUNERAL OF THE LATE POPE TO BE con-
QUOTED PRIvATELY-THE CONCLAvE TO MEET
NEXT MONDAY
LONDON. Tuesday, Feb. IL, 1873.
Intelligence from Rome says: In reply to
questions several foreign courts the Papa Nuncios
have been instructed that the funeral OF the
late Pope will be celebrated privately, In the Sixtine
Chapel the 18th, 18th and 18th inst. Consequently,
persons attending the service will do so IN private
manner" This is undoubtedly to avoid the necessity OF
either assigning special accommodations at the funeral
for Italian Royal Family and Ministers, or refusing
to do so, and gives color to the report In a
Vienna telegram that the Cardinals, by vote
OF 80 to TO- rejected the idea OF reconciliation with
Italy. The Chamberlain has declared to the Catholic
that the assembly OF the Concave III Rome
be considered prejudieing any question al
fecting the rights OF the Holy See The Cardinals VIII
assemble In COncayc the evening Of the 18th inst
The proclamation OF the Pope will be made TO the
Catholic world from the grand balcony Of the Vatican
Basilica. .
IL denied that the Cardinals have rejected the idea
of reconciliation with Italy. The decision OF such qes-
lions appertalGs solely TO the next Pope.

Vices from Siam say: "The King OF
Siam Will send diplomatic representative to the United
States year. 1t highly probable that through tue
influence of the American Consul at Bangkok, the Siam
ese Government will send number OF young persons to
America 10 be educated. Those who were TO 90 with
Mr. Chandler two ago, but were prevented by Mr.
Partridge have been recently sent to Germany forther ed
ucation Mr. Chandler, who Mr. Partridge nsulted andim
prisoned has just returned to was welcomed
by the King and officers OF State and well received by
the people generally" II seems that Mr. ]. H. Chand-

then United States Consul, and imprisoned, as he was
leaving Bangkok with the Siamese exhibits, upon an

exceeded his functions and the siaInese Government
complained OF his action.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Although it is so gener-

on tine silver question, Senator Mcpherson sue

took place in 1873. lie said that the real cause
could not have been lack of sufficient circulating
medium, for the volume of currency in 1873 was
greater than ever before He insisted that the crash
OF 1873 came upon us because in every branch of
industry except agriculture we had reached point
in production far beyond the capacity of the people
to consume, and for which surplus compromising
market could be found. Railroads had been built
far in excess of present or possible future needs
He showed by Trustworthy statistics that in the four
years from 1868 to 1872 built nearly 5000
miles of railroad and in the succeeding four years
less than 5000. There were, Ire said, in 1873, in
the United States, 70,651 miles of railroad, which
had cost almost $1,000, 100000, more than
half Of which now returns nothing to the inves-
TOR owing to the stoppage of railroad construction
He said about 200 600 labOrers were thrown ont of
steady employment, and the direct annual loss to
the labOrlng population from this industry alone
was about S., 400, 000 To this and the consequence
of cessation in the demand for iron and coal and
the number of laborers thrown ont of employment
i'll connection with these and minor industries, he
said, owe the present widespread distress

branches of business.
Mr.. Mcpherson was warmly congratulated when
he concluded by Senators Bayard, Herman and
others. They said that Mr.. Mcpherson had thrown
heavy shot at the silver men-" Common business

iBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
WAsHL GTON. Feb. Ex-senator Jones has been
at work his silver speech for several days. 1t is
now finished and in the hands of the printer He
will deliver it on Thursday He will devote por-
tion of it to personal explanation, and will deny
that he is in any way interested III personal sense
in the passage of the Silver Bill. He says he does
not own dollar in the Bonanza mines, and that tho
mines in which he is interested produce more gold
than silver.
General b. F. Butler has prepared resolution de-
carng that the House has lost confidence in the adj
ministTation of the Treasury Department. This
resolution is to be presented after the passage by
the House of the amended Bland BILL as it returns
from the Senate. General Butler is also preparing
speech on the silver question, in which his friends
say he will make some new points. Among other
things, he will assert that il not true
that the silver dollar is worth only 90 cents. lie
will attempt to demonstrate that the silver dollar Is
worth 90 cents compared with gold dOllar,whlch
is alloyed but that compared with gold dollar
which is not alloyed the silver dollar Is worth SO
cents: that ntrinsically therefore, there Is only
cents difference between the value of the gold dollar
and the silver dollar. General Butler Will also
argue that the silver dollar Is as much standard
as the gold dollar is but that paper Is the real
standard OF American currency. General Buiicr
questions the truth of the reports that large
amounts Of bonds are returning 10 this country,
ANA maintains that II such quantities Of BOMBS were
being returned the market would show ii, whereas
the truth is there has been variation of only per
cent in the quotations OF bonds.
