Studies the Situation in England-The
Scheme Hanging Fire-Silver on the
Decline.
1BY CABLE TO THE D1sPATcH.l
LONDON, October 1S.-One cause of the
decline in the price of silver since the recoV-
cry which followed the final passage of the
American silver bill has been the anticipa-
ton of a movement in Austria II ungary
towards the adoption of the monometallic
gold standard. Such a movement has GER
tainly been prompted by a strong party
in the kingdom of Hungary, where
the agricultural interest has become
alarmed at the prospect of lower prices, and
where there is strong political feeling In
favor OF closer alliance with England.
This, it was thought bv many magyars,
would be advanced by the adoption of the
English gold standard, while it was also
taken for granted that Germany would look
with favor upon the imitation by Austria
Hungary in 80 of the monetary policy
adopted in '73 by Germany.
The adoption of gold standard by Aus
trIa-Hungary would, of course, throw fresh
mass of silver on the markets and develop
demand for some e25, 5,000,0 of gold.
perturbations, and during the past week the
subject has been made interesting in Lon
don by the arrival here OF Herr Lang, who
comes as an agent accredited by the Govern
ment of Count Szapary to study the sltua-
ton in England and look into the feasibility
of the operation.
Herr Lang met at luncheon on Thursday
some active friends of bi-metallism in Lon
don, including Mr.. S. Dana Horton, OF the
United States, recently arrived in England.
He has had conferences, too, with some of
the magnates of the city, and it may be said
with some confidence that the prospect of an
adoption OF the gold standard by Austria
Hungary is by no means promising. 1t is
not likely that Herr Lang will recommend
such step to his Government in the present
financial condition of both hemispheres.
The subject of an European conference to
consider the economic conditions created by
the Mckinley bill has also been considered
5y Herr Lang, the initiative in that direc-
tion having been taken some time ago by
France, but it finds no favor with the
British Government.

LONDON, October 18.-Vice-Consul Gen
eral Oliver r. johnson, whose resignation
has been in the hands of Consul General
New for several weeks. will leave his post
very soon after News return from America.
1t is safe to say that no American public
officer has ever made more friends in so
short a time in London than johnson, or
lost fewer times at poker. He will be re-
membered for his universal courtesy and
obliging disposition by every Englishman
and American who ever did business at the
United States Consulate, and he has given
more time to looking up the cases of desti-
tute Americans, sailors and others of his
countrymen and women stranded in London
than he has spent In his devotions.
johnson leaves the Consulate because he
pines to get back to his original vocation,
journalism, and he will probably identity
himself hereafter with some New York
newspaper.

SPIES FROM RUSSIA.
workmen Sent Out to Discover Welsh Tin
Plate Secrets.

LONDON, October 18.-The Russian Gov
ernment is sending workmen to various
countries to obtain situations and pick up
all the information they can that may be
useful to Russian manufacturers and ex-
porters. The Welsh tin-plale makers have
taken alarm at this, and have given warning
that if the secrets of their trade are discov-
cred In this way and made use of by the
Russians, they will import no more sheet
iron from Russia and will boycott all Rus
sian products so far as possible.
Russia's sheet iron exports to Wales is far
more important than any tin-plate export
that she could hope to build up in competi-
tion with the Welsh.

But OF course the Neck -or-nothing men

for silver as he had hostility 10 1t In 1885.

But whatever the Man OF Weight may

ing 80 heavily upon him that "it is inn

This determination of Mr.. GLIDER to

There is, however some consolation to be

Prof, ROBERT ELLIS THOMPSON of the

the personal idiosyncracies OF the Padded

In regard to the Governor Of New York

As q Democrat, Governor HILL is very
interesting and highly satisfactory figure to
political observers. He has been one Of the
most pervading and effective political per-
sonalities ever known in the popular party OF
the Empire State; yet he nevor has done his
fighting on that issue. While he has directed
party affairs so long and 80 successfully, tho
question both below and above the surface
has been tho success Of the Democracy. His
public utterances have always aimed at dem
onstrating how much better and worthier
OF support the Democratic party Is than
the Republican. No one ever found him
fill chance to speak with prayerful en-
treaty to see how much better he is than
other men. His single public reference to
himself, the simple statement, Il am
Democrat" Is as noticeable for its lone
illness as it is impressive for its truth. SO
far from himself forming the theme for his
own discourses, he is not even their inspira-
ton. He talks as he works, for Democracy,
not in a personal and petulant worry lest by
failing to subordinate itself to his own be-
loved virtues the party will go to the devil,
but vigorously and hopefully, showing that
1t carries the cause and the means Of victory
in itself and deserves to win.
These are the sort OF qualities to make
successful candidate for the national
Democracy; and when the Convention meets
the Springfield Republican will observe that
they will be esteemed Of far higher i'm
portance than any local issues.
