 German Emigration.
 LONDON, March 9.-A correspOnd- ent of the Times from Berlin com ments on the great increase of emi- grafton to the UnileI States, and says that whole villages are described by local papers as emigrating from Pozen, Prussia proper, and Schles- wig. American immigration agents, however, hardly set tu;th tue advant- ages of the various States they repre- sent, as they are warned by the Amer ican legation that it would be unable 10 help If they should get into trouble with the authorities. Mir WTandel, an American citizen of Hungarian eX- traction, who two years ago was for biddon to lecture on emigration, has iu.t been equally unsuccessful Ou hls second visit, designed Go persuade the authorities of the folly of retarding emigration. It appears, however, the precaution against the exodus of young men is somewhat abated in South Germany. The German Gov ernment particularly aims to divert emigration 10 the United States.

 Washington News.
 WASHINGTON, March 10.-The ap- pOintment of McS>rs. Evarts, Thur man and dowe as United States Com missiOners to the International Mou- etary Conference, appears to give universal satisfaction. especially that of Judge Thurman, which, aside from its being a graceful compliment, Is notably suitable alike by reason of his fan iliarity with the subject involved and his fluent command of the French language. Thurman and Howe were among the first members of the Senate to follow Jones, of Nevada, in his pronounced advocacy of bi-metalism, and the establishment cf a double standard in this country, and EvartS, although not quite so Tar advanced in position on the subject, IS equally in icTeSted in his desire tO make the com ing conference complete success.
 Senators and Representatives from mining States are greatly pleased that provision has been made for American participation in this important coun- cil. and are very. sauguine that the re- suit will be highly beneficial to our mineral interests.
 Senators Jones, of Nevada, and Hill, of Colorado, both express the belief that with an International ac- ceptance of the ratio of 1j16 | to one as the standard equation of the two precious metals, silver will at once advance in price from $12j to Sl.30 per ounce, and maintain that value for many years. The effect of this course would be tO give a greatimpetus to silver mining and especially 10 make profitable the working of low grade ores.
 The Colorado papers have been quite earnest in urging the appoint ment of Senai IF Jones as member of the conferen-r, but ia view of his already holding an office, he could not be appointed legally, even if willing to serve.
 The Democratic caucus to-day as- signed Senators Farley, Grover and | Fair on committee positions as fol- lows: Farley to be made Chairman oi | the Committee on Mines and Mining, ]
