LONDON, Nov. A.-Before the" English
delegates to the international monetary
conference started for Brussels the in
structions given by Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, chancellor of the exchequer, to
Sir G. Fremantle, deputy master of the
mint, and Sir G. Rivers Wilson were to
expedite the deliberations and to obtain
continuous sittings. daily, with the excep-
tons of Saturdays and Sundays, so as to
bring the conference to an end within
few weeks Sir William Vernon Har-
court had learned that the American dele
gates contemplated such full discussion
with time given to all sides to prepare ar
guments, statistics and facts and for re-
spending to their opponents, as would
enable them to put exhaustive statements.
This course, involving an adjournment
over Christmas. neither met with the ap-
proval of the English minister nor certain
of the English delegates who are strong
single standard men. On the evening of
the day the delegates started for Brussels
the representative of the Associated Press
learned from a high authority that if the
conference was prolonged beyond three
weeks the leading English representative
would return to London, leaving the less
important members of the delegation to
watch the proceedings.
Private advices from Brussels show that
Sir G. Rivers Wilson opened the opposition
to prolonged debates. As soon as the del
egates began their INSTRUMENTATION he
objected to the proposal that President
Levy made on the suggestion of the Amer
lean delegates and supported by majority
of the conference that an interval of day
be allowed between each sitting. The rea-
sonable remonstrance that the delegates
who spoke different languages could
not exchange views without an op-
portunity to study them had no effect
upon the English determination to
hurry the deliberations through. Sir G.
Rivers Wilson and his colleagues only final
ly assented to President Lewis proposal on
finding that they stood alone. The Incl
dent has created the impression among the
members of the conference and Brussel
officials that the British delegates want to
break up the meeting or cause it to fail to
achieve any definite results. In the mean
time they have received decisive check
A great majority of the delegates evince
every disposition to go thoroughly into the
matter and to give themselves up to it I'M.
til every plan promising international con-
cert has been examined au fond.
The special correspondent of the Man
chester Guardian, who is in intimate
touch with some of the leading delegates,
telegraphs that the conduct of the British
delegates surprises the other European
representatives. The Americans ask why
they were brought across the Atlantic If
policy aiming at the failure of the con-
ference is to be pursued. The correspon-
dent adds that all eyes are turned upon the
American delegation, which Is remark
ably impressive one. Senator Allison has
the highest repute amoug the members of
the conference. Senator Joues is man of
extraordinary force of character and rare
ability. He has decidedly impressed the
correspondent with his single mindedness.
Were he to make tour of England he
would win host of edherents to his
cause. 1t is with a sense of confusion that
the Englishmen listen to the remarks of
the Americans on the imperfect knowledge
of the rudiments of currency questions.
The representative of the Associated
Press had an interview with Dana Horton,
| who is now in Brussels in consultation with
| the delegates. Mr. Horton said that the
out and out friends of silver were IN
doubtedly moving forward and recruiting
adherents. Yet, so far as the conference
was concerned, there would probably be
more hope than promise of Immediately
| favorable results.
M. Ribot, the French foreign minister
| recently communicated with Lord Rose
berry, the British foreign secretary, re-
ouesting statement of the position Of
the present British cabinet with reference
to the rights of France in Newfound
land Lord Roteberry replied that thu
present government had adopted the policy
of Lord Salisbury with reference to New
fouudland. It is reported that he also
promised to submit to the house of com
mons for ratification of the agreemen
concluded with France on April last
The Marquis of Ripon, secretary of stat
for the colonies, has written to the gov
eminent of Newfoundland urging its earl,
adherence to the agreement referred to, ii
order to relieve the imperial government
of an unpleasant position. Sir Charlie
Upper, the Canadian high commissions,
will depart for Canada on December an
will take with him a completed CONNER
cial treaty between France and Canads
The agree includes a stipulatio
that Canada shall grant subsidy for
steamship service between Canada an
France. The Canadian government hs
consulted the Marquis of Ripon on pre-
iected commercial treaty between Canad
and Mexico, the former allowing the fire
importation of Mexican. raw sugar, cotto
and tobacco in exchange for the free in
portation into Mexico of Canadian whe
and flour, manufactured cottons and woo
ems and machinery.
An uumistakable symptom of the gel
eral apprehension of an early collapse
Mr. Gladstone's government is found
. the fact that no private bills are being pr
noted in parliament.
