MONETARY AGREEMENT
Greater Confidence Has Been Created
Among the Delegates.
VINEYARDS RUINED IN SPAIN.
Minister Phelps Denies Attacking Won
Csprivi-Parneilits and Anti's Fight at
Limsrick-Arranging an Extradition
Treaty With France.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 2s.--It being now un-
derstood that the proposal which Alfred
De Rothschild will submit to the none
tary conference Is a well conceived plan
for an international monetary agreement,
feeling of greater confidence has been
created among the delegates that the con-
ference will have practical results.
The attempt in certain quarters to ridi-
cule the conference and the false impress
sions conveyed by certain European
papers, are strongly resented by the dele
gates OF all opinions.
The Ind governments representa-
tfves do no conceal their opinion that
India has everything to gain and nothing
TO lose by international bi-metallism and
they are cooperating with all who hope
that Rothschild's plan can be made ac-
ceptable TO all sections.
The general feeling Is that unless the
conference comes to solution satisfactory
to all, the adoption OF gold standard by
India must follow, and for India to face
this would be as much leap in the dark as
would any other new scheme, and would
be fraught with the elements of perturba-
tion and panic.
These considerations are met in some
quarters by simple non possumus, but
by a majority OF the delegates the neces-
sity OF facing the difficulty Is fully ac-
knowledged-

Prof, Pickering of Harvard Observatory
Did Not sec Many "shooting Stars"

Prof. Pickering OF Harvard Observatory
Did Not see Many "shooting Stars"
BosToN, Nov. 2s.--At the Harvard OBJ
servatory last evening Prof. Pickering
and his able corps of assistants were
waiting to take notice OF a meteoric
display should such take place But il
was not thought at the observatory at 9.3O
O'Clock, that there had been any unusual
number OF shooting stars. That was an
hour later than the time predicted. The
lowering clouds We're of a character to ef-
fectually cut OFF all successful observation.
yet, at the same time, they were of that
soft, tieecy character that would be
lighted up by any unusual celestial
fireworks. At the same time, there had
been few breaks in the canopy during
the hour preceding, and IL would have
been quite possible, had meteors shot
athwart the sky, to have observed parts of
their flight through the few openings.
As Professor Searle had previously said.
although the climax might be expected
last night near curfew time, yet the fact
OF considerable fall of shooting stars
last Wednesday night might be taken
into account to lead one 10 expect less of
shower of the small bodies last evening
and early night than would otherwise
have been the case.

. LONDON ANARCHISTS.

4Arsats Made In Connection with the
Extradition of Francois.
LONDON, Nov. 2s.-The anarchists OBJ
tained permission to hold a meeting in
Trafalgar Square yesterday, and intended
70 protest against the governments per
mitting the extradition of their colleague,
Francois, to France, for his participation
in the blowing up of the restaurant of
Very, In Paris, last spring.
Thousands of spectators assembled in
the square, but the anarchists abandoned
their Intention OF holding meeting. The
police were present In large numbers to
prevent the socialists or unemployed
from using the square. Louise Michael
and . number of foreigners, on entering
the square, were informed by the police
that no meeting would be allowed. The
women thereupon departed.
Several other speakers, however, en-
desvored to orate, but the police stopped
them. A Frenchman, Guerin, surrounded
by crowd OF foreigners, held his ground
Tor while, and denounced in French the
cxtradition of Francois. He said that il
the English government handed Francois
over to France and harm came TO him.
Londoners would hear of the matter. in a
very forcible and revolutionary way.

THE ALLEGED ATTACK
On Chancellor Won Caprivi by United
States Minister Phelps Denied.

States Minister Phelps Denied.
BERLIN, Nov. 2s.-In an interview yes-
terday United States Minister Phelps said
that he had received number OF cable
dispatches inquiring about his alleged at
tack on Chancellor Won Caprivi. He ex-
pressed himself as surprised at the story.
as he had always taken particular pains to
avoid German politics. Apart from his
diplomatic duty his close personal friend
ship with each of the chancellors would
prevent his publicly taking sides with
either.
As matter OF fact he had not alluded
to German politics, but he had warmly
praised the Emperor and had referred to
Prince Bismarck in single sentence.
praising his work as the unifier of Ger,
many and comparing him with an old
lion whose roar still attracted the worlds
attention. He thought that the German
papers had published correct reports, for
none had commented unfavorably on his
Thanksgiving Day speech.
Correspondents of the New York Her
AID, New York Staats Zeitung and of the
Associated Press were guests at the dim
ner. He believed that the correspondents
were incapable OF falsiiying and he ex-
pressed his curiosity to know who il was
that had manufactured the false report.

MADRID, Nov. 2s.-The Spanish agri-
cultural council is again discussing means
Tor putting an end to the rsvages OF the
phyiloxera in Spanish vineyards. At a
meeting OF the council several speakers
expressed regret that Spanish vine grow
ers had neglected to appeal for funds to
enable them to adopt systematic means to
combat the pest.
The technical stan engaged for the pur-
pose OF carrying out such measures has
been dismissed on account OF a lack of
money. Vineyards covering an area of
6oOo00 acres have already been DESTROYED,
BY the pest.
The agricultural council suggests that
tne only remedy will be found in the
propagation of American vines.

A USEFUL INVENTION.
Designed to Prevent water Pipes From
bursting In Winter.

bursting In Winter.
A gentleman living in Peckham.
England has invented and patented
m ingenious method OF preventing G
water pipes from bursting during
frosty weather says Invention. 1t
consists in length of elastic substance
covered by thin (sheet or tinued) lead,
he combination forming thin rod
more pliable than an ordinary cane.
The rod. when inserted inside. The
piping. becomes compressed by tne
expansion caused by the freezing OF
he water. thus relieving the piping
of the strain which would otherwise
burst it The elastic substance is
prepared cork, the great durability
aud elasticity OF which are too well
known to need any comment
The inventor has performed series
of experiments by artificial freezing
which. he states proves beyond doubt
that this method will be an effectual
