Little d Accomplished.

The internationa monetary confer
ence which has beeniu session for sorne
time past at Brussels has adjourned to
meet again next May, Following are
the opinions of the delegates who repre-
sented the United States:
Henry Cannon-The worl. of the
conference was of 8 more serious ma
ture than was generaY understood by
the people Of our county. While it is
impossible to say whi effect the sug-
gestions made wil,iisve ou the various
complex monetary 81 tenn, OF different
nations, II appears to he tie general
opinion that business and commercial
evils exist everywhere whiol are largely
due to the lack of a fixed raut between
gold and silver. European delegates
indicated their desire that suggestions
looking to the purchase of silver to be
coined or used in some manEeras fixed
money should be carefully coIsidored,
and these delegates appear Wiling to
make certain reasonable compromises
with nations using silver. Tbs is sig
niticant, and has added great interest to
the proceedings. Moreover, England
presented several plans for Il better use
of the white metal.
Senator Allison-We haveiouud that
important European counties are not
ready to adopt bimetallism or in favor
of the increased use of SILVER. | am
not disappointed, rs l did not expect
much. The conference may have nc
practical result in the immediate fu-
ture, but it has done good.
Senator Jones-TIme fights for us,
and we are to have time. England can
not be entirely satisfied with the situa-
tion, or Rothschild would never have
made his proposition. American dele
gates are not disappointed, for only good
for our cause can result from the CON
ference.
Congressman McCrearY-I hope tho
conference has opened the way for good
results hereafter. All admit that 4
remedy should be found for the dilicul
ties and perils OF the monetary con
ference.
Professor Audrews-The conference
has thus far achieved all that could bt
expected and more than most of us did
expect. The only thing | can think oi
to hinder second session achieving
practical results would be strong dem

a Cattle Trust Quits.

An important event in the cattle in
terests of the west transpired at the
Great Northern hotel, one day last
great cattle trust of all its business in
submission to the final decision of the
Illinois supreme court. The American
Live Stock Company. representing
millions Of dollars, invested in over
5000, coo head of cattle, distributed over
the entire west, has gone out of ex-
istence. The meeting was largely at
tended by cattle men, representing
Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Indian Ter
ritory, New Mexico, Arizona and Colo
rado.
Nearly all the prominent cattle men
of the country met and organized the
American Live Stock Commission COM
pany with officers at Kansas City, st.
Louis, Chicago and Omaha. For twelve
months they conducted their business
quietly and their profits accumulated SO
rapidly that the stock exchange and
commission men became frightened at
the great inroads of this immense COM
bination on their business and the mem
bers of the organization were ruled out
of the exchange. The company then
brought suit enjoining the exchange
from interfering with its business and
was beaten in the lower courts on the
ground that the exchange was private
corporation and was not compelled to
let any one in. An appeal was taken to
the supreme court which recently af-
firmed the decision of the lower court
Finding itself practically debarred from
the market by this decision the company
was forced to call meeting of the
stockholders for the purpose of decid-
ing upon liquidation. The president
of the company was II. w. Crowell !;
vice president, Sam Lazarus. and treas
urer. Paul Phillips. Said Mr.. Phillips !:
1.-The American Live stock company is
virtually dead and l shall file our with
drawal with the secretary of state.

holders? Yes, the first year, our opera
tions made profit of 1856 per cent, upon

the firm Of Babbitt Bros. Of this city.
Mr.. Babbitt's views are not very en-
couraging. but Mi. Thornton thinks it
may prove good camp, or camps, Of
which there are three at present, the
largest being composed of q syndicate
of Winslow capitalists and Atlantic and
Pacific railroad officers. who have
bought up 400 claims located about
twenty miles from the mouth Of the
San Juan river. There are about
$50 men at work for the syndicate.
Thornton says it is not a poor man $
mine. He has located claim that can
be worked cheaper than any other he
saw and he calculates that it will cost
him from 1850 10 $1,000 to get it in
working order. There are two other
camps, twenty-five and seveuty-iive
miles farther up the river, the latter
within about fifteen miles Of Bluff CITY,
Utah. At these two camps there are
about twenty men holding claims and
prospecting, no organized work having
been commenced at either. At the
latter camp lumber can be had at so
per thousand from the mills at Bluff
City and other supplies are much
cheaper than at either of the other
camps.
