The SiIvee Question I'm London.
New YoaK, July S.-A Suns special
London dispatch says: An important
meeting OF the British and the Colonial
Chambers of Commerce was held to-day,
at which there was IN animated discus
sion on the silver question and its bear
ings upon the commerce Of India, Aus
tralia and Great Britain. Henry d..
Gibbs, OK. Governor of the Bank OF Eng
land, opened the proceedings by q speech
showing the worldwide Importance OF re-
storing the monetary value of silver. Sir
Robert N. Fowler, NJ. P, a London
banker and ex-Lord Mayor, opposed the
idea, and was followed by two Indian
members. Both Of those commended that
| the effect OF the depreciation OF silver
must be the 6nal ruin OF the wheat and
| cotton industries of America, and the de-
| yelopment OF India as the chief wheat aud
| cotton exporter OF the world. They, there
fore, protested against England aiding
| America to restore the value OF silver at
| the expense of the interests OF INDIA.
| Paul +. Tilham, an East India merchant,
argued that England had other
interests beside those OF India,
which stood sorely in need OF
| the restoration Of silver, and trusted that
| Gibbs ideas would be adopted by the
meeting. Group. Of the London Times
| denounced tho agitation Of the silver ques-
ton as the work Of the silver miners OF
| Nevada and their allies, the washington
ring. Moreton Frewn pulverized Crump
in a strong speech in behalf OF the farmers
in the West and the planters in South
America. and o resolution was passed by q
| vote OF % TO Is amid great excitement, de-
| claring that tho remonetization OF SILVER
| would relieve the depression undo whicn
| tho trade is now staggering. The meeting
is regarded az highly important, and Its
influence upon the coming silver demon
| s~tration In Lancashire must necessarily be
very strong.
The New York bakery Roycofters.
NEW YORK, July 8.-The trial of the II
| Bohemian boycosters OF Mrs. Laudgraf's
| bakery was continued here to-day. The
courtroom was crowded with sympathizers
| Of the prisoners, and the atmosphere was
oppressive. The prisoners watched the
proceedings intently, although utterly un-
| able to understand a word said. The first
| witness was Moritz Maggie, one of Mrs.
| L~andgraf's employees, who identified the
| defendants as boycotters. He worked for
Mrs. Landgraf when Is Bohemians called
aud demanded that she stop work. There
were only Germans working in the bakery,
| the Bohemisns having been ordered out.
Other witnesses identified the prisoners as
boycotters, detailed the circumstances OF
their visit, and told OF their having distri-
buted boycotting circulars. The witnesses
were not, on cross examination, positive IN
| their Identification OF some OF the boycott
tiers. and on behalf OF these the counsel for
the defense moved for their discharge.
The counsel for the prosecution said that
| they had proved no overt act against the
men, who had called on Mrs. Landgraf
the first time. Judge Barrett concurred
| with this, saying that the men who called
| the first time had not committed any
| crime, and there we're other defendants
| who had not been identified az taking part
in either the irst or the second call OF the
committee, or In distributing circulars.
These men. Judge Barrett said, he would
| discharge. The men were released and dis
| appeared ont OF the court very quickly.
| The counsel for the defense then moved
for the discharge OF the other defendants
on various grounds, but this was denied
by the Court. The prosecution dropped
the other counts and will try the remain
ing prisoners on the ground OF conspiracy
only.
