BRUSSELS, Dec. Is. After NJ. B.
Dlrensis' motion had been proposed at
the monetary conference yesterday,
Senator Allison made short speech in
behalf of the United States delegation.
lie laid emphasis upon the fact that
throughout the debate nobody had sug-
geSted that either of the money metals
be discarded. During the adjournment,
he said. the delegates would have time
to study the Rothschilds' and other pro-
posalS. although the conference has
been of brief duration," he continued,
1.-THE discussions that have taken place
nave been of great value, and we think
1T wise to resume the deliberations after
recess. Any agreement at which the
conference might arrive would pos
sibly require larger concessions on our
part. 1t is, therefore, fitting that the
Democratic Administration
which is about to come into Office in the
United States, and upon which the re-
should have an opportunity to direct the
course OF the United States delegates
1t would consequently be advantageous
to the United States if the conference
should adjourn long enough to enable
the new government to consider what
shall be done"
Betram Currle, of the British delega-
ton, objected to the reassembling of the
conference OF. the ground that, as three
previous monetary conferences had
failed, there was little prospect of the
present one being a success. Sir G.
Rivers Wilson, of the British delegation.
concurred in the opinion of Mr.. Currie.
lie SAID that, if the conference should
reassemble, its task should be eondi-
tioned to an examination of a perfectly
explicit proposal from the United States
or some other power which would not
Interfere with the
Fundamental Principles
governing the monetary systems OF the
various states concerned. In the mean
time. he said, Great Britain would re-
serve complete liberty OF action. Slr
William Houldsworth, also OF the Brit
ish delegation, said that he did not agree
with Sir c. Rivers Wilson in the opin-
ion that only one definite plan should be
discussed. On the contrary, he thought
that the conference ought TO discuss
all of the plans that had al
ready been submitted. Gen. Richard
Strachey, of the Indian delegation,
formerly announced that during the re-
cess. of the conference the Indian gov
ernmept would reserve to itself abso-
lutte freedom of action. Senator Allison
said that it was understood that the
governments of all the nations con-
cerned, including the United States,
should reserve to themselves absolute
independence in their respective none
tary policies during the recess of the
conference; that nobody was bound to
anything, and that they all might en-
ploy the time in the interval as they
thought proper. M. Di Renzi's proposal
was then adopted, and the conference
adjourned.
LONDON, Dec. 19.-The Daily News
saws. in commenting upon the adjourn
ment of the Brussels conference, that
'the American nation is in jeopardy. 1t
seems likely enough that the good in
tentions of the American treasury Will
not suffice to save th g silver dollar from
depreciation"
