FRANCE IS CAUTIOUS.
She Will Participate in the Coming
Silver Conference.
LIBERTY OF ACTION RESERVED.
Favorable Feeling Toward Bi.Metallism
Gaining Ground.
VIEWS OF STATESMEN ON THE SITUATION

PARIS, May 31.-In the Chamber of
Deputies to-day M. Soubeyran moved an
Interpolation in favor of silver standard
of currency. He argued that if silver was
demonetized it would no longer have any
value in France.
'Tn Austria" he said, measures are
pending that will withdraw 750, 900, 900
francs in gold from the Paris and London
market. 1t is essential that the French
Government shall send representa-
tive to the coming Silver Con-
ference with instructions tending
to effect rise in silver and prevent with
drawal of gold on scale affecting the mar
ket. Both England and France ought to
make most strenuous effort to rehabilitate
silver. The United States Government is
well disposed toward the project; Germany
is less favorably inclined than England, but
the bi-metallic movement is gaining
ground" He concluded by asking the
Chamber to adopt an order of the day ap-
proving the programme of the> United
States and France as arranged for the
monetary conference of 1881.
M. Bourgeois asked whether the Govern
ment would deneunce the Monetary Con-
vention with Switzerland, Italy and Bel
gium. He argued that the value of silver
was daily decreasing and that artificial
methods to sustain its value were useless.
M. Rouvier, Minister of Finance, in re-
spending to the remarks of the previous
speakers said that the country most
affected by the situation was Great Britain,
owing to the relations of that Government
with India Therefore it was the place of
the British Government to find q solution;
the key to the situation was in London.
The French Government was disposed to
give its delegates instructions favoring
an increase in the value of silver,
but these would be subordinate to the
instructions given to British delegates It
was necessary for France, M. Rouvier de-
clared. to proceed with great circumspec-
tion in the matter. In the meantime the
French Government was opposed to the
abrogation of the Latin Monetary Union.
In regard to the invitation extended by
the United States TO France to take part in
the International Silver Conference, M.
Rouvier said the French Government
would accept the invitation, but would re-
serve the right of liberty OF action both now
and in the future. i.

ATTACKING THE READING DEAL.

An Injunction Granted Against the
Tripartite Combine in Now Jersey.
TRENTON, n. j., May 31.-Attorney
General Stockton this afternoon made ap-
plication in the Court of Chancery for an
injunction to dissolve the relations between
the New Jersey Central, Philadelphia and
Reading and Port Reading Railway Com
panies, on the ground that the tripartite
agreement between them, for the purpose
of monopolizing the anthracite coal trade,
is illegal
The relief asked for, is that the lease Of
the New Jersey Central to the Port Read
ing shall be declared null and void and that
the New Jersey Central be directed to take
possession of its own property and that the
combination shall be declared void. The
court granted preliminary Injunction.

OPPOSITION TO THE sCHENE
or Coming Ten Million Half Dollars for th
Worlds Fair Project

or Coming Ten Million Half Dollars for the
Worlds Fair Project.
WASHINGTON, May 31.-The Committee
on the Worlds Columbian Exposition to-
night began the formal consideration
of the bill prepared by the Worlds
Fair officials, providing for Govern
ment aid to assist in COM
pleting the work at Chicago. Most of the
time of the committee heretofore has been
consumed in hearing arguments on the vari-
Gus propositions to aid the Fair that have
been advanced, so that the committee
has had but little opportunity to
get down to serious consideration Of
any of the measures proposed. The pres
ent bill. besides making appropriations for
the expenses of the Worlds Fair Commits
sion, the Board of Lady Managers, the
Government exhibit, etc, provides for the
issue of 10, 600, 900 silver half dollars BY the
Government, in aid of the Exposition, the
coins to be engraved and stamped with
such inscription as will make them suitable
souvenirs of the four hundredth anniver-
sary of the discovery of America.
The discussion by the members of the
committee of the various features of the
bill was very general 1t was the opinion
of the committee that it would be appro-
pirate to provide for an issue Of souvenir
coins commemorative of the occasion, but
the propriety of issuing them for the pur-
pose of assisting in completing the Fair
buildings is still an unsettled question,
as the committee - came to no
conclusion in the matter. There
was very decided opposition to the provis-
ion of the bill authorizing the purchase of
sufficient silver bullion to coin the 10,000,-
900 half dollars, and it is not probable that
the bill will contain any such provision.
Frequent meetings will hereafter be held
by the committee, with . view to agreeing
to some measure to report to the House at
an early day.

A Plot to Blow Up = Railway Station
Frustrated by the Police.
LONDON, May 31.-What is supposed to
have been an attempt to blow up the rail-
way station at London Fields in Northwest
London was discovered to-day. A police
man observed a gang of men acting in a
suspicious manner near the station. He
made his way toward them, they saw him,
threw something away and dashed of at the
top of their speed.
The policeman pursued them a short dis
tance but they were too feet footed for him.
He returned to the place where he had first
seen the men and found four powerful dyna-
mite cartridges to which fuses were attached
and it is believed that the men were arrang-
ing to place the explosive in the railway
station. 1t is thought that they were for
eign Anarchists, many of whom have
focked to London since the authorities in
continental cities have started their crusade
of determination against them.

CHIEF Elliot Complies With tho Law In

Chief Elliot, of the Department of Chari-

was rather odd. Under the law it was neces-

these bids at o'clock yesterday afternoon
in Common Council chamber. When that
hour arrived Common Council was in ses-
sion. Chief Elliot and Controller Morrow
came marching into the room and notified
President Holiday. The latter notified the
Council, and a motion to take q recess was
made. Chief Elliot said It would take an
hour to read the bids, and President HoIli-
day remarked that the reading would not
interfere with Council. One Of the men,
bers suggested that the two gentlemen
might go into a corner to read, to which
Chief Elliot replied that he would 60 in on
corner. Chairs were brought, and the two
gentlemen sat at the Presidents desk and
opened the bids while Council went on with
its business.
Chief Elliot refused to give the bids for
publication. He said that one or two Of
them did not meet the requirements of the
advertisement and that they would be sub
mitted to the attorney of the department
before being made public.

This was proposed in the Constitutional
