W.sa1NGToN, June 9.-Mr. Evarts received tele-
gram this afternoon signiyng the acceptance Of in
vitations to the international Monetary Congress- by
both France and Italy. Mr.. Evarts said in conver-
s,,ion this evening that the acceptance of these two
GREAT powers makes the holding of the Congress
exed fact. With the addition of Russia, Holland,
Greece. Cand probably AustrO-IIungary, the two
norers named viii constitute quite an august and
imnortant body, whose deliberations win doubtless
lead to valuable and interesting results in all inter
national monetary questions. besides giving to this
country the benefit of the opinions and results of
the policy of those nations. Mr.. Evarts further said
that although the English Cabinet is divided in
opnion upon the pTOpriety of accepting the in-
vjtahon to the Monetary Conference, he feels
assured that it viii eventually do so. He
remarked that although the European cPpital
in which the Congress Will hold its sessions has not
vet been selected he does not think that Berne will
be the point decided upon, as reported in some of
the newspapers. He is of the opinion that one of
the larger CAPITALS would be chosen. The EXpOsi-
tion being now in progress in Paris il seems to be
intimated that that would be the best and most APP
pr0priate place for the purpose, at any rate most
Americans would think so but if different choice
Is seyentually made il will fall upon some European
capltal Of equal Importance.
