THE RorHCHILD's PLAN
With Levy's Amendment May Como Be-
fore the Conference Though it has Been
Withdrawn.

Withdrawn.
BRUSSELS, December 7.-An import
ant section Of the international moneta-
ry conference holds that Mr.. De Roths-
childs' withdrawal of his plan for So
luton of the silver question does not
debar the further discussion OF his pro-
posals by the conference, the commit
tee to which the plan was referred hav-
ing presented it for the consideration OF
the conference. thus taking 1t out OF
the hands OF NJ. Rothschild.
To-day NJ. Sainctelette, Belgian dele
gate who supports the Rothschild plan
with Moritz Levy's amendment sub
stituting silver for small gold coins Will
hold a conference with Sir Fremantle, one
of the British delegates and deputy master
of the British mint and Senior Toca q
Spanish delegate on the question OF put
ting the amended Rothschild plan to vote
Of the conference. Both Senor Toca and
NJ. Sainctelette hold that failure OF the
conference can yet be averted by MAORI
" of the delegates recommending
either the Levy project or the
amended Rothschild. The scheme
proposed by c. F. Teitiehn, the Danish
delegate, Is treated with indifference. IL
conference. The proposals advanced oy
Sir G. Houldsworth though applauded oy
the pronounced bi-metallist delegates yes
terday, is not considered by his colleagues
worth wasting time over in discussion.
His plan will probably be referred 10 q
committee tomorrow and will not be heard
again. The uncertain attitude OF the
French delegates is influencing the other
representatives whose countries belong 10
the Latin Union.
II has been cause Of complaint that
other members who are desirous OF frank
opposition TO cooperation In the DE hotns-
child plan communicated these proposals 10
the French delegates before they were
submitted 10 the conference end were led
to believe that the French delegates would
support the plan. Had they believed 9TH
erwlse they would have reconsidered the
question of presenting the plan. IL
is the opinion of many OF the
delegates that the French government
does not desire the conference to decide
ANYTHING. An interview has been publish
ed with M. Leon Say. the well known
French flnancier. NJ. Say declared that he
thought the attitude of both English and
American delegates was deploraole, es-
neoiaIly that of the Americans who ap-
peared h} be without any definite propo-
sails M Say could not understand why
the British as practical business men
wanted the assistance Of France in a mat
ter which was their own concern. In re-
gard 10 the DeRoths schild proposals, Nj. say
declored that he thought they solved moth
ing and he added that he thought tne
deliyerances of the conference would emu IN
nothing. M. SAYS remarks denne the ac-
ton of the French delegates, lYho crlucl1e
everything said insthe conferences OF III Cvin-
mlttees but who suggest noth.n ing. lne
opinions among the delegates have oecolne
sharper and more clearly defined, tfie par
tisans of the single and double standtsrus
proving more irreconuilable as the discus
sion develops. Mr. Henry w. Cannon. OIL
Of the American delegates and President OF
the Chase National Bank, has asked the
committee 10 discuss the proposals or the
American delegates as stated 70 the
plenary conference. Nj. Montehore
Levi, the President OF the confer
ence. opposes the committees proceeding
To discuss the American proposals. He
bases his objections on the ground that the
committee was appointed 10 discuss spe-
cial question on reference from the confer
ence and that the American proposals are
related 10 fundamental principles that
should come within the competence
of the conference. A majority Of the COM
mittee concur in the opinion OF President
Levi.
The Hon. Z. Terrell the American Min
lister TO Belgium will give banquet in
honor OF the delegates tomorrow. The
grand municipal reception at the Hotel
DeVille has been fixed for December 10.
This will wind up the fetes in honor Of the
delegates until after Christmas.
