ROTHSCHILD's SCHEME.
The Way Clear for the American
Plan.

1ldu.
BRUSSELS, Dec. 2.-The scheme
for the solution Of monetary prob
lem, submitted to the international
monetary conference by Rothschlld,
was rejected by the committee to
which it was referred on votes of
delegates from France, Italy, Bel
GUM, Norway, Sweden and Russia.
The first objection was made to the
plan from delegates Of nations be-
longing to the latin union. They
disapproved the proposal that 43
pence be fixed as maximum pur-
chase price of silver. This figure
was consequently withdrawn in
favor of a higher one, but this con-
cession failed to reconcile them to
the position. The vote stood to 6.
The American delegates regard the
position cheerfully. The way is
now cleared for a full discussion of
their bimetalllsm plans, in accord
ance with their original program.
After submission of report of COM
mittee, the Americans announced
that they are not ready 70 discuss it.

INDIAN CURRENCY COM.
The Gold Bugs Demands in the
East.

LONDON, Dec. 2,-The Indian cur
rency commission will resume its
sittings early in January, whether
the monetary conference has or has
not by that time been brought to a
close. Members of the commission
are certain to have by January
some definite idea of what the issues
of the Brussels meeting are to
be and how they may affect cur
rency in India. The Associated
Press has already reported what the
Indian commission has had under
consideration. The proposal is to
declare gold standard for India.
There is no doubt as to the fact that
certain strong adherents of the
single standard tried to snatch the
vote from the commission in favor
of gold standard for India. Some
me mbers who were fully cognizant
of the momentous consequences of
such a decision yet adhere to it,
desiring that the English delegates
should be armed with it when
going to Brussels as a weapon Of
defense or offence against the bime-
tallists. These tactics of "bluff and
bounce" were not approved by the
majority of the commission, who
justly thought the Brussels delega-
tion would accurately gauge the
sham decision or reported recon-
mendation of the Indian commits
sion. Ultimately the commission
will smash the gold-standard pro-
posal, and, if it makes any import
ant recommendation whatever to
the government, will suggest the
temporary suspension of silver
coinage if the viceroy's council
should decide that 10 be advisable.
I he commission has been taking
evidence in Camera from the Anglo
Indian bankers, manufacturers and
tea a.planters, Most Of them favor
doing nothing, allowing business
and currency values 10 find a level
under the existing laws, and of
those who spoke of the evil arising
from The unlimited coinage of silver
in India the principal ones simply
that the government of
India shall have power to suspend
at its discretion the coinage of silver.

The Briggs Case.

New YORK, Dec. I'm the
Briggs case yesterday, after a long
argument, the question Of voting on
the items separately was put and

or not guilty. Briggs insisted, be-
fore answering, that all evidence
against him be read. The modera-
tor ruled, however, he must plead at
once.
~ am not guilty." answered Mr..
Briggs.
Colonel McCook then formally
opened the case against DIR. Briggs.
He offered in evidence the scriptures,
the standards of the Presbyterian
church, DIR. Briggs books, etc.
Then the defendant set trap for
McCook, into which he stepped
with haste.
"You offer the holy scriptures"
said Briggs, but to which version do
you refer?"
"King James version, ,ninnocently
replied the Colonel.
"Then your evidence Is unlawful,
for the Presbyterian standard of au-
thority is not the translation of
King James, but the original ver-
sion," retorted DR.. Briggs.
A litter followed this sally, which
Mr.. Robinson augmented by exclaim-
ing, "We are making ourselves the
laughing stock of the galleries" ;"
Colonel McCook yielded to DR..
Briggs any advantage which might
accrue to him in consequence of the
discrepancies between the two ver-
sions. 1t was then decided DIR. Bliss
should next submit the evidence,
and an adjournment was taken un-
til Monday.

CHIEF JUSTICE MAY RESIGN,
Additional Statistics from the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Reports
were current some time ago to the
effect that In the event of Mr.. Cleve-
lands election a good-sized plum
would be placed at his disposal for
bestowal on some worthy partisan,
by the resignation from the supreme
bench of Chief Justice Fuller, and
now that the election is over, the
rumor is again gaining currency.
They are based on the story that the
chief justice finds his position some
thing of an irksome one, and that
the salary attached to 1t is not at all
in proportion to his earning cap
ability in the ordinary practice OF
his profession. From the fact, how
ever, that the Fuller residence is now

the rumor has any substantial foun-
datiop. or that, If 1t had, the chief

far as the financial end is concerned,
it is not thought tbis will cut any
