WAsHISdroN, May l4-Should the In
ternationsl Monetary Conference at Paris
fail to reach tho conclusion desired by the
American Commissioners, 1t appears prob
able that American b!metalliats in and
out OF Congress will urge immediate cessa
ton OF the Coinsgs OF tue standard silver
dollar. The declaration Of one Of ouI
most prominent bi.ms!alistR in this conn'
try, published in these diapstAhes last
week, TO the etFsc. that he would heartily
favor such movement, has been read
with interest by bi'malA!lis's In or cut oil
the Senate, and has baen almos. uRiver'
sally approved.
Some Of them still hope that the Paris
Conference will result in the establish.
msnt OF an international bi.metaliis,
standard. Others are not ready to pro.
RounCs IN favor Of the exclusive coinage
OF gold. Although they consider that
Conference u failure, they do not thinl;
that the people would approve such u
Conrse, bn. tho m'jDrity, including the
best men among them, are disposed to en-
terrain the extreme view that II We are
not aided in the establishment Of a bi,
metallic standard by the other nations OF
the world, tho best way that We can do Ia
to stop the coinage Of silver, or drain
Europe ot it's gold until the uss OF silver
becomes Inevitable. They think the pso.
pie will approve thiI course. why"
said One Of them to-day, "Ra told onN Of
the DirCC .ors OF the Bank OF England the

The Director admitted that what wss said
was correct"
1t seems probable that, in the event that
the Paris Conference comes TO no ConClu'
sion, the Secretary Of tho Treasury, or
probably the President, will bring the fact
to the attention Of Congress, or recommend
some action looking to the stOppsge OF the

Feared Some Reasons for Its

Nav YoRK, May 1.-THE Sun has been
looking into the present condition of the
electric light, and it reached the conclu.
sion that the Invention is by no means so
far advanced ss its friends assert and as
the public fOndly imagine, 1t says:
"Itis true that Mr., Edison and his agents
make no scruples ol promising anybody
and everybody light by these little lampa
at u small fraction of the price OF gas; but
promise ia one thing and performance
smother. No doubt Tor short time an
Electric Light Company could sell lightat
any figure they chose; but, unless they
could do tprohtSbly In peGuniAry sense,
they would sooner or later have to stop.
1t IL question OF cost entirely, and this
question Ia AZ yet undetermined. Mr.,
Maxim'a associates Canddly acknowledge
that they are not prepared to say for what
price they can furnish and make his in.

Edison Company decline to publish In.
formation on the subject.
sour own calculations, from such data as
We can procure, lead us to conclude that
the cost OF the inCandesCent light 10 at
present greater than that OF gas, aud Il at
It can not be sold at a profit any cheaper,
How large an amount Of money must be
expended In merely setting up the works
y be judged from the fact that $3.50 900
has been called for by the Edison Com.

sand lamps, each lamp being equal to but
nine candles, aud the whole 0 600 10 bnt
1900 cubic feet Of gas per hour. The in.
terest alone on $3.50 600 at 0 per cent
amounts 10 over 500 per day, to say moth.
ing Of the outlay for coal, wages and other
expenses. So that Mr. Edison's talk OF
selling the light far below tho price OF gas
Is nnDsensiCal.
Besides, there are many mechanical
difficulties yet 10 be met and overcome
before even the incandesCent carbon liRht
will EQUAL gas. Engines must be made 10

mean TO say the obstacles to the electric
light are insuperable, nor that 1t will not
eventually be made as Chsaply as gas.
We simply wish to explain why 1t Is that
an impatient public is not yet furnished
with It, aud how 1t may be disappointed
In the price when 1t gets It,"
