THE SILVER PROBLEM.
Its Advocates Disappointed by the Ad-
 jOurnment at Brussels.


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 1o-The silver men in Washington are much disappointed at the adjournment of the Monetary Confer ence at Brussels. They say that while the adjournment is called only 8 recess until next May, it iS their expectation that the commissioners will not meet again, as was the case of the International Monetary Conference when that body ad- journed to meet at 8 later date, but, as 8 matter of fact, never reassembled.
 The silver men admit that absolutely nothing has been accomplished by the conference; nor do they expect even in the event of 6 resembling of the con- ference in May, for any better results.
 MT. Bacon, chairman of the House Com mittee on Banking and Currency, says that now the conference is over his com mittee will proceed to discussion of the bills before it for the repeal of the Sher- man law, but it is the opinion of the financial leaders of both the House and the Senate that there will be absolutely no silver legislation in this Congress.
