national Monetary Conference,

national Monetary Conference,
NEw YoRE, September 5,-Among tn
passengers on the Inman steamship City Q
Berlin, which reached her dock at an earl,
hour this morning, were ex-Secretary Q
State, William N. Eyarts, Ms, Eyarts ant
the Misses Evarts. Mr.. Eyarts, who looked
very well, was seen later by reporter o
the Tribune. He said the reception Of thu
American delegation to the Monetary Con
ference vas very kind indeed, and replied
TO questions as follows; tj-aflEr!gi
I'VE regard the result OF the delibera'
tions and discussions of the conference as
having advanced the prospects OF the Bi
metallic international arrangements very
considerably. The nations invited were all
represented, and their representatives took
an interest in the discussion, and both ex.
pressed and heard with CapdOt the Opin-
ions that were put forth, and examined
the statistics that were ma de the, basis OF
our discussions, The general opinion, we
think, OF the conference was that an
International Bi-mettallic Convention
would accomplish the purpose Of making
both silver and gold an international
money, thus enlarging the basis OF the
credit system OF the world, and relieving 1t
from disasters, and give steadiness to the
exchanges that would prevent the drain Of
gold, which il now the only international
money, from disastrously ly affecting the in
dustries and money systems at home Of
the nations subjected to It's laws, There
was general concurrence OF opinion, as
we think, that the objects desired were i'm.
portant and should be aimed at BY tho m.
tons Of Europe taking part IN the confer
enee. phhFeawas, no doubt, moro or less
difficulty yet by this or that nation as to
accomplishing such change to their do
nestle money systems; and, on the whole,
II seemed to me that there
were really, taking the representation
OF the important nations, only two opin.
ions, the one being that tho desirable OBJ
iect should bG undertaken by the nations
whose united effort would bG adequate for
It, and another opinion that 1t should be
undertaken by some nations for the bene-
fit OF the whole and that u combination
less than that Of all the great nations
would be sufficient. The position Of the
American government on this latter point,
that q combination was the only plan that
should be entertained, was fully understood
In determining TO adjourn the conference
to next spring rather than to terminate
1t, we followed general sentiment In
which we conCurred that the accomplish.
ment 6i this great ChAngn in
the money of DIE world could not be ex.
pected 10 be brought about within the de-
libeRtlOns Of u single year that tho inter.
val would awaken the interest Of England
and tho Continent in the matter, and that
during gthat interval they would seq that
they must take Q share In the proceedings,
and that II would not be accomplished by
the United States and any other nation to
their detriment."
"What results will follow the confer,
enOe ~
ut Is difficult 10 say whether, our own
Nation or any other nation will occupy the
interval to carry on negotiations In the
matter, or whether II will be left to the or.
binary channels and the press to be dis
cuSsed, or whether all these influences
combined will operate during the Interval.
II will OF course he competent for the Gov
ernment to decide each for itselfa to what
Il Is disposed to do, and what IL most ~.
do, and ofcourse u IL con-.
petelt TOR the Government to consider and |
decide whether In the interval there ts such |
m aspect OF the general question as to
make reunion OF the conference at that
particular date desirable"
"WaS England as anxious Us Germany
that the desired result Of the conference
should be brought about?"
