WHAT THE Hot SPELL Cost

WHAT THE Hot SPELL COSTA
New York letter says.
''We are beginning to get some idea
of the great cost in life and money that
the hot spell of last week entailed.
Coroner Levy estimates that the num-
Der of deaths directly traceable to the
heat will reach over 5000, a mortality
which had it occurred during an cpl
demic wouldthave made New York
panic-stricken. The money cost was
great. The horse railway companies
aggregated nearly $4,000 loss. The
general ticket agent of a great line tells
me that travel fell off fifty per cent,
representing loss of many thousands
of dollars, and the expenses entailed
by sickness were in the gross very
great. Besides that there was for
three or four days almost no retail
shopping done One of the great ba-
Ears, which frequently does business
ofs10,000 day, for three days took in
scarcely tenth part of that sum-"

ST LOUIS, Feb. 27.-The South
western Railway and Steamship associa-
ton has been in session but is unable to
do anything The cause is the attitude
of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road.
Waldo, in its behalf, has notified the as
ISOLATION that he would not support it
because Chairman Faithorn knew moth
ing of the peculiar conditions of the
southwest and therefore was not
suited to the position or worth $3.50

However, at the session peace was

Circles Concerning an International Bime.
tailic Conference.-The Large Shipments
of Gold Tend to Sustain the Opinion that
Meeting to that End is Possible.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-The Tribune
has the following: The departure of Sec.
rotary Foster on his European visit has
revived considerable gossip in financial
circles in this city, and interest is sus-
tanned i'll the subject by the continued
movement of gold to Europe. 1t was
said by men who are in a position to
be well informed in the matter, that
the probability of bimetallic interna-
honal conference was stronger than it
has been in long time. The friends of
honest finance have not been idle in the
last few months and vast amount of
work, it is said, has been done to pave
the way for u conference of the Euro
pean governments with the United
States looking toward a satisfactory
agreement which will avert possible dan
ger that might be bred from the present
depression in the price of silver bullion
The financial interests of the country
are looking to congress to take prompt
action on the resolution now in commit
tee in the senate, which contemplates
negotiations for an international consul
tation on the silver question. Its pas
sage by congress will be perfectly salts
factory to the business men. 1t was as
serted by well informed finan-
cial men that if this resolution passes
congress there is little or no doubt that
bimetallic conference is assured.
Correspondence has passed between
the principal authorities on finance in
this country and England, which is said
ton that Great Britain will favorably
respond to any invitation from this
country to discuss the question of estab-
fishing an international ratio between
gold and silver, and bankers who have
personally conferred with men of finance
on the other side of the Atlantic testify
unanimously to the changed attitude of
many English thinkers and practical
business men toward the silver problem.
There is strong confidence that Mr..
Goschen, the English chancellor of the
exchequer, is even more favorably dis
posed toward the recognition of silver in
the moneys of the world than even his
public utterances would indicate. 1t is
asserted that England would enter any
international conference with far more
cordially than was shown at the last
conference. 1t is said that there are
strong grounds for believing that as full
powers as possible would be given to any
commissioner which that government
might appoint and it is also believed that
assurances have been received that the
French and German governments would
heartily co operate in any congress OF
nations to consider the silver question.
