What Acting Secretary of tho Treasury
spsulding snys on the Subject


WAsHISGToS. D. c.. Feb. 27.-The report

and has indicated that the Bank of England
is willing to hold one-fifth of its revenue in
silver is denied at the Treasury Depart
nent in the most positive terms. and
one prominent official made no attempt to
conceal his opinion that the present agits-
ton of the question is for the sole pur-
pose of influencing favorable action on
Senator Tsllers bill now before the Sem
ate providing for an International confer
ence. aud therebytefectipg q postponemens
of action at this session OF Congress on
the question of free silver. General Spauld-
ing. the acting Secretary Of the Treasury who
is certainly well informed on the subject. was
asked this afternoon if IL Is true that Great
Britain indicated its willingness TO psrt'ci-
pate in monetary conference. l have no
information of such action on the part OF
Great Britain" he said, and do not believe
the report
Isn't there anything you can say on the
subject for the benefit of the public = he was
asked
No, think not" he answered; There's
nothing TO say about it. simply because
there's really nothing in 1t. lou SEQ, canS
say what don't know"
1t is learned from other sources of unques-
toned reliability that there has been no ma
terial change in the situation on this question
since the opening of this session of Congress.
when the President in his annual message on
the subject of bimetallism said:
Il have endeavored by the use OF official
and unofficial agencies TO keen a close obser-
vation of the spirit of public sentiment in
Europe on this qoestion and have not found
it to be such as to juftify me in proposing an
international conference
The statement that England is TO open
the India mints TO silver is absurd. 10 that
privilege has existed in India for years.

of His New PLAY.

cynical society play, Lady Windermeres
Fan. - which was produced on Saturday night
last AT st. James Theatre. has made him,
self the talk Of the busiest theatrical
week for many months. 1he critics
almost unanimously condemn the play. lhey
sav that the plot lacks novelty and that tho
nrincipal scene is palpably cribbed from lhe
School for Scandal The lines. however; are
very clever and people in society wiil rush 10
see the play as they did on the nrst niIht,
when the most brilliant audience tnat mas

At the end OF the play on the hfst nlght a
small section Of the audience called tor oscar

delivered what the press generally pronouhees
a most insolent and conceited speech. he
complacently descanted upon the merits OK
his play and said ho was glad that the audi
encs WAS able TO appreciate IT. The actors
and actresses were patroninngiy approved
for the help they had gwen.
Mr.. Wilde was adorned with one OF the
newly invented electric green boutonnieres.
as were also his followers In the stalls. ms
