New York, Sept 1S.-Secretary
Sherman writes to the editor of the
Bullion here, replying to his inquiry
regarding the expediency of holding an
international monetary conference,
having for its text currency based on
bullion deposits. Such conference
would undoubtedly be of great service
in developing opinions and preparing
the way for international CONNER.
cial treaties by which the relative value
of gold and silver may be fixed, and in
accordance with which certificates OF
deposit may be issued by the several
currency nations, to be used as me-
dium of commerce.
The suggestion of the Bullion was
that the conference agree upon deci-
NAL, calling for a certain weight OF
gold or silver of certain fineness, on de-
posit, the rates Of gold to silver and the
issue of bills by the respective nations,
to be determined by biennial con-
gress, and the governments to issue
these bills to go through the banks that
will hold bullion to the full amount of
the bills furnished them.
The secretary says the only practical
difficulties are the fixing of the relative
values of the two metals. No doubt the

From National Standpoint.
New York, Sept. 18.-A letter ad-
dressed to W. H. Vanderbilt, by the
committee of the chamber of COM
merce on railroad transportation, sug-
gesting congressional legislation to reg
ulate railroad traffic throughout the
United States, proposes that the presi-
dents of trunk lines prepare a bill to
accomplish that object, to be presented
at the next session, and that the bill be
presented for criticism to representa-
tives of the commercial bodies in the
several cities on the seaboard, who are
directly interested in the matter.
The Herald strongly urges congress
| sional action, and says that congress
alone possesses the authority to regu-
late commerce between the states, but
that whatever laws are passed on the
subject should protect the public against
extortion, as well as the railroads
against the reciprocal injuries and vio-
lations of engagements. 1t favors the
plan of a commission of arbitrators.

GEN. GRANTS COMING.

San Francisco Awaiting in Expectancy.
San Francisco, Sept. 18.-The city
has worn throughout the day an air of
expectancy, and the community seems
to have devoted itself to waiting for
the arrival of the City of Toxic. The
streets are crowded with people and
hotels full, while the partial suspension
Of business on account OF the Jewish
new year, adds to the holiday aspect.
The work Of decorating has been
pushed vigorously during the day, and
Market, Montgomery and Kearney
streets now present brilliant appear
ance. Various committees have been
in session all day perfecting details for
the arrival Of the expected guest. For
several days dense fog has prevailed
during the night and early hours of the
morning, and reports from the outside
say that it extends to the farallones or
beyond throughout the day, though
clear in the city. Precautions have
been taken, however, to intercept the
steamer several miles from the Heads.
Two pilot boats are constantly cruising
across her course, with instructions
from the agents Of the Pacific Mail
company to hold her outside until the
naval pageant can be prepared for her
reception. Should she arrive outside
tonight she will lie there until morn
ing before signalling her presence.

BAD BLOOD.
Cowardly Attack on Canadian Mill Hands
BY Strikers

cowardly Attack on Canadian Mill Hands
BY Strikers.
Fall River, Mass, Sept. 1S.-By far
the most shameful outrage of the strike
was committed by the strikers this af-
ternoon. Eight French families, COM
prising between seventy and eighty
men, women and children, were
brought here to-day from Canada.
They have never worked in cotton
mills and are to work at the Stafford
and Crescent mills. The company
was divided into two parties and one
taken to Stafford mill, the other to a
block on Davis street. 1t was subse-
quently decided to remove the latter
party to house in the rear of the Cres-
cent mill some few hundred yards
away. The party consisted Of two
men besides the agent who brought
them here, and four women and the
remainder young boys and girls from
eighteen years Of age downwards. AS
the party came out on the street they
were hooted at by crowd of women
and children and men and few stones
were thrown. To make the shortest
cut they went over what is known as
''stone crushers lot," where they were
assaulted by crowd Of a hundred and
fifty, mostly men, rocks were thrown at
them in perfect showers and one of the
men named Bouches, was so roughly
assaulted that man who witnessed the
whole affair said he did not expect to
see him come out of it alive. He was
severely kicked, and bruised by a stone.
One women, with babe in her arms
was knocked down and kicked, a little
boy, about seven years of age, was
struck in face and little children were
stoned as we'll as older persons. The
party separated and ran in different di-
rections which broke up the crowd.
The police were summoned and with
officer Hill and the whole of the dis
trict police, who happened to be near
by, were on hand in a few moments, but
the alarm was given at their approach.
The district police are already known
by the distnrbers and the crowd had
dispersed. Three Of the'assaulted party
got separated from their friends. but
one is reported to have been found with
some old acquaintances in another part
Of the city. More Indignation is ex
pressed by the citizens at this outrage
than at all others that have occurred
The cowardly assault on the womer
and children stirring the feelings O.
every good citizen. No arrests were
made.
The chief Of police has ordered al
additional police force to bo enrolled fol
duty.

retary of war to cooperate with the
citizens of California, in extending a
welcome to Gen. Grant. He will fire a
salute of twenty guns, the number des-
ignated in the army regulations Jor the

highest compliment the government
can pay to an ex-president, this ova-
tion being unprecede nted in our histo-
ry. All the troops of the army station
ed at, or near San Francisco. will form
part of the official escort. The Sec
retary of the navy has issued similar
order to the commandant of the navy
yard ut Mare Island. A salute will be
fired the same as though the general
was president, and the marines and
sailors will participate in the parade,
forming part of the escort. In addi-
tion, the commandant has been ordered
to cooperate in every way with the
citizens committee. There is no naval
vessel at the yard which can take part
in the reception proposed to be given to
the general while on the steamer Toxic.
All government flags, bunting and can

directed to be given, in order to make
the affair worthy of the nation and a
fitting tribute to the ex-commander-in-

says: "T The undersigned republican
voters of rank and file appeal, in the in
terest of good government, to republi.
cans and the independent voters of the
state Of New York to secure the sue
cess of the republican party and the de-
feat of Cornell and of Soule. We heart
lily endorse the republican platform
adopted at Saratoga. 1t denounces the
mismanagementa attempted by the DEM
ocratic majority in congress; endorses
the administration Of Hayes; repudiates
Conkling's machine tactics, and arraigns
Cornell for betraying his trust as chair
man of the state committee by manipu-
lating votes to secure his own nomina-
tion. Soule is condemned as untrust-
worthy. We have tried various methods
of reform; we have attended primaries
and found there the same domination
of the machine. We have expressed
our protests before the convention and
found them disregarded.
They now propose not to bolt, but to
scratch, and have prepared tickets con-
tanning all Of the Saratoga nominees ex-
cept Cornell and Soule, and invite the
independents to distribute and work

reached the meeting In the Mayors parlor on
Monday evening. at the close Of Its session. or
as 1t was about to dispense. and that 1t was then
not as q part OF the regular proceedings the
conversation occurred. In which bis Honor the
Mayor Joined. and was understood by our In
formant to acauiesce Ia the policy OF requiring
all bondholders to establish by judicial decisions
the legality OF all debts Of the city before max
ing any compromise or settlement. and In the
meantime Of suspendipg payment Of all In
terest and employing the revenues Of the city
la necessary works and Tor general polioe pur-
poses; that 1t was doubtless true. as the Mayor
says in his letter, that In the regular proceed
ings OF the meeting no such suggestion was
made. Most of the gentlemen vi the confer
ence were present at this conversation. and no
objection was made TO this proposition.
This, adds our informant, is the substance Of
all that was communicated to our reporter In
