who is in the Presidents confidence on
most all subjects, said this afternoon
that he was at the White House four
hours last evening, and his opinion,
formed from the conversation of Mr..
Hayes on the subject, was that he
would veto the Senate bill VI the
Bland bill. Secretary Sherman said
to-day that he supposed the bill would
become a law, veto or no veto. and
added, 1--WE will give them enough Of
silver" The enemies of John Sher-
man say that, as the bill stands at
present, the secretary would never put
a dollar of it in circulation.
The conservative silver men have
been holding informal consultations TO-
night and counting their strength.
They think the majority vote at the
meeting, the attendance at which was
comparatively small, is not indicative
of the wish Of the majority of silver
men in the House. Thinking also
that even an attempt to reject the
Senate amendments will lead to &c
rious delay, they have agreed to put
q motion tomorrow to concur IN The
Senate amendments, and that such 9
motion under the rules being frs
voted upon will carry.

Patching Eggs by Machine.

ANTwERP.-One of the chief events
today was the opening Of the Agri-
cultural and Horticultural shows in
the Palace de Ia Commune, near the
center Of the new town, and in the
line of great bOulevards which have
replaced the old Notifications. A
space Of about four acres IVES boarded

were arranged the stalls Of the exhib-
itors. As usual at such exhibitions,
what agriculturalists speak Of as toys

crowd than the beasts and objects on

A cable dispatch states that Prince
Bismarck's anxiously expected speech
gave little comfort to those who looked
for any decided Encouragement of
Russia's claims. Practically he de-
clared that there was nothing in the
preliminary terms of peace to cause
much uneasiness to any Euro
pean power and so far as Germany
was concerned there was absolutely no
reason why she should interfere in
any way. The effect of this speech is
so Disappointing to the government
party in England, for it is equivalent
to a formal expression that the Brit
ish ministers have made much ado
about nothing. Besides, it encourages
Russia to believe that Germany will
remain perfectly Indifferent SO long as
her immediate safety is not threatened,
and that If Austria should declare wal
against Russia, Germany will not ust
her influence to assist either. Primes
Auenperg's remarks in the Austrian
reichsrath were not very reassuring o
peace, and IN uneasy feeling at thu
prospect is again predominant in Eng
land.
Lord Derby's promised statement
relative to the correspondence passing
between Russia and England has beer
postponed until Wednesday evening
and this fact is regarded as evidence
that the communications have no
been satisfactory. Naval and militar!
preparations continue, and war is jus

One remarkable result of the devel-
opment of silver mining in Utah, Col
orado, and Nevada has been an i'm
mense addition to the production of
lead, which, in those States, is found
combined with the silver. Up to the
year 1873 the lead supply of the
United States had been from Is, 900
tons to 10000 a year, most Of which
came from Illinois and Missouri, and
was consumed west Of the Alleghanies.
The Atlantic States, consequently, got
all their lead from abroad, and its
price at one time was as high as IF
teen cents q pound. In 1873, how
ever, the silver mines turned out Is, 900
tons of the baser metal; in 1874, 90
600; in 1875, 81. 200; in 1876, 49,
$50; while last year they yielded 49,
81 tons. At the same time the yield
of the Illinois and Missouri mines in
creased so that the total production of
the United States was $1,000 tons in
1877, against 10000 tons in 1870.
Naturally, importations from abroad
have stopped, and the price Of the
metal has gradually fallen from eight
cents a pound at the beginning Of
1873. until last week it dropped below
four cents. If its price goes on to fall
to three and a half cents, its exporta.
ton will be profitable.
