Go to Halifax.

III all American tourists could realize
what delightful city Halifax, Nova
Scotia. is, it is doubtful IL even the super
ior facilities for reaching there established
by the Canada Atlantic and Plant steaul-
strip lines this season would prove In any
way adequate. Al least that is the opin-
ion Of party of newspaper men who en-
joyed few days there recently as the
guests Of the steamship line, the city aud
provincial government, the hotel and
local newspaper men.
The Inhabitants of Halifax are known
as among the most hospitable in the
world and upon this occasion outdid all
previous efforts in entertaining the mem
bers OF the fourth estate. That they sue.
ceeded is attested to by the explanation Of
one of the party who says he would not
have missed it for 200 and would not
go again for 5000"
Halifax Is a quaint old British city,
with a magnificent harbor In front,
charming public gardens and n still more
charming natural park, with miles of
beautiful driveways and bride paths
splendid boating and bathing facilities
and sport OF all kinds. One of the prime
attractions TO the visitor from the United
States is the presence there OF the British
land and sea forces. the bright colors OF
the uniforms finding fitting background
against the sober hues of the everyday In
habitant's apparel. A novel Sunday fea-
ture is the playing OF the splendid band Of
the line regiment at the mead of the col
umn as IL marches to church, invariably
followed by n large concourse of people.
From Halifax all points In Nova Scotia
and Cape Breton can be more easily and
quickly reached than by any Other route,
aud now that the tourist can leave Bos
ton Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday Of
each week on the Olivette or Halifax.
there can be no possible excuse Of lack OF
accommodation,

trip. Rockets were sent up from the
camp and numerous smaller styles OF
fireworks were exploded until the boat
was out Of sight. The orchestra upon the
boat struck up q lively air, and some OF
the excursionists indulged In dancing,
while others passed the time pleasantly
by singing those songs familiar TO all who
are accustomed TO go on moonlight trips.

In itself Roger Williams Park is with
out equal, but when its manifold attrac-
tions are combined with music by Reeves
well-known band, and interspersed by
flashes of red fire, then the scene is fairy
like in beauty and the Park becomes a
veritable paradise. Last evening every
car going TO this garden of pleasure was
crowded, and during the band copcert it
is estimated that about 1900 people were
there. The band played In its usual
matchless manner. and at intervals Supt.
Hathaway lighted up the adjacent groves
with red fire. Over all The moon beamed
with mellow light and on every path and

their crowds of pleasure seekers about
the lakes. AT 1890 o'clock the last selec-

ford Against j. y. Murphy.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. GA breach
of promise case which threatened TO fur
nish many sensational details has been
settled out of court. The case is that of
Elizabeth L. Stanford of this city against
John j. Murphy of Mt Vernon, y. Y.
Miss Stanford sued for S25, ,000, alleging
that Murphy had wronged her under
promise of marriage.
She also alleged in her bill of complaint
that he had induced her TO submit to an
operation which ruined her health and
confined her to her bed for three months.
Attorney Jacob Il. GOodhart of this city
representing the plaintiff brought suit
aud attached Murphy's property at Mount
Vernon for 81, 900.
Murphy was arrested on warrant
issued by Judge Patterson of New York
and held under bail. His arrest came just
in time as he was about TO take Hight and
go TO Spain, where his sister has large
estate. In Miss Stanford's complaint DIR.
&. w. Vishno of this city was named as
the physician who performed the opera
tiOn. DIR. Nishno promptly pronounced
the statement false and threatened to
bring slander suits against his accusers.
A short time ago overtures for a settle
ment were made to Miss Stanford by
persons representing Murphy. Miss
Stanford was adverse to further notoriety
and 1t was finally agreed that Murphy
should pay Miss Stanford $50 a week for
two years.
A few days after this agreement had
been reached, DR.. Vishno received letter
from Miss Stanford in which she acknowl-
edged that her allegation that he had OPP
Grated criminally upon her was false. 1t
is generally believed that the operation
was performed by DIR. Henry Brown who

Great Britain Agrees to Discuss the
Situation.
THE ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETE
And an Announc' IN ent Expected Soon
After Secretary Foster Gets To London
France is Expected to Give Her CO.
operation.
lspEcIAL TO THE NEwsl

New YORK, Feb. 26.-Wail street men
have received important information from
Washington concerning forthcoming
bimetallic currency conference. A story
has been circulated that Secretary Fosters
visit to Europe bas something TO do with
such conference. The arrangements
were completed before Mr.. Foster con
teinplated his foreign trip. Before he re-
turns he may have consultations with Mr.
Goschen, Chancellor Of the Exchequer of
Great Britain, and with the Marquis Of
Salisbury.
Great Britain has agreed that such
conference is necessary. France is also
expected to join. The significant point is
that Great Britain has voluntarily agreed
to discuss the silver situation. In the
last conferences on these matters, held in
1878, England took only a perfunctory
part. Now England makes the first step
forward. Dow, Jones a. Co., say:
Heretofore conferences on bimetallism
have been futile, but this year there are
most peculiar circumstances which war
rant expectation of something more than
talk. The key TO the situation il the fact
that silver bullion is selling in the mar
kets of the world lower than ever before.
The nations of Europe do not like IL any
better than we do. England is not inter
ested in silver vitality because of its Indian
trade.
The Bank Of France has over $3.50, ,000, 900
silver, Germany over S60,0O0,OO0 and
Austria over Ss3,000,0)O. The Bank of
France has within S2O000,000 as much
silver as il has gold. II these four great
nations should agree upon value for sill
YER and should issue paper against it,
based on this value, the credit of the ma
tons would make the paper good no mat
ter how much silver fell.
Very few people expect an effort to
remonetze silver at an extravagant valua-
tion. Everybody knows that England
would not agree. But definition OF the
place silver is to occupy in the monetary
systems of these great countries would be
a great step forward. We understand
that the Harrison administration desired
very much to bring about this conference,
and succeeded"
