An AMERICAN TALKS
TO TIE INTERNATIONAL NONE
TAsY CONFERENCE.
Professor Andrews. of Brown L niv err
sity, SaTs the I nited States Desires
That Every Country Shall
be Benefited.

By Cable to State Chronicle
BRUSSELS, Dec S.-After the opening
of the monetary conference to day NJ.
Allardt, one of the Belgian delegates,
submitted q plan for an international
agreement for the purchase under COM
mon account of stocks of silver, against
which treasury notes will be issued by
the contracting states, none of which
will be obliged to coin the silver thus
purchased or modify its existing currency
Legislation. The circular proposes that
these notes shall have international cir
culatiou.
NJ Retfalovitch, one of the Russian
delegatt., spoke briefly regarding the
Moritz Levy plan. He declared that he
did not believe that under the present
conditions any international agreement
to regulate the relations between gold
and silver were possible. The general
discussion was then resumed. La reply
to an invitation extended to him, Prof
Andrews, of Brown University, an Amer
lean delegate and personal friend of
President elect Cleveland, made an ad
dress iu which he said he hoped the idea
that America was bent only upon in
creasing her national wealth and that she
WAS only acting as the servile creature of
mine owners would forever be dismissed
as being equally absurd as the idea that
American interest was mainly due to the
distress affecting the American monetary y
system.
Continuing he said 'We have not
and are not at present likely to have a
dollar in silver beyond our needs in the
| United States. We have no idea of solic
| iting any favor from the people Oi
Europe. What we desire is as much tc
| Europe's interests as to ours. We wish
| TO multiply our trade with the world-tc
do vast business with China, Japan
and Central and South America. and a
the same time with Europe. This will
never be successfully accomplished Sc
long as two great groups of nations con
tinue to drift apart In conclusion
President Andrews said he thought tina
some of the plans proposed to the con
ference were feasible and if the delegate
continued their deliberations with a du
sense of their responsibility, the confer
ence would not fail to devise measur
of relief
NJ. Beernaert, the Belgian minister o
finance, says that he is far from despair
ing Of the international monetary confer
ence, and looks at any rate for some re
suit of the deliberations. He believe
that the conference will continue in sex
sion until about Saturday, the II c
December, and then adjourn until Ma
for real and decisive business. Many {
the delegates, he adds, and especial
the Germans, will anxiously await Presi
dent Cleveland's message before comm
to final decision

BY Cable TO Chronicle.
PARIS, Dec. Sin the statement
which NJ Ribot read to-day of the policy
of the new government he said of the
Panama canal scandals, that individual
fsilings were accidents in the career Of

DURHAM, N. c., Dec. S-The black
Corbet:s and Sullivsns are becoming nu
merous in this locality, and the white
element of the city, to a very large ex
tent, are giving them a cordial greeting.
Stokes hall was the scene Of several
pugilistic contests last night, aud to-day
some of the participants are lying up foI
repairs. 1t is the desire of the better
element Of the city that a stop be put to
this barbarous practice before it gets
too strong hold. There is a much bet
ter way of testing true manhood. The
participants in this disgraceful afail
will expect livelihood in this way anC
in few years the woods will be full o

And the Australian WON the Fight.
BY Telegraph to State Chronicle.
CoNEY ISLAND ATHLETIC CLUB, Dec.
S.-There was never fight in this coun-
try that created less betting than that
to night at the Coney Island Athletic
Club between Joe Goddard, tie unbeaten
and alleged champion Of the Barrier,
(the Barrier is a name for locality
in Australia) and Peter Maher, the
socalled Irish champion. Goddard's
reputation rested on his success
in defeating dozen local men,
in securing draw with Peter Jackson
III eight rounds, and in whipping Cho.
ynski twice in four rounds each time.
Mahers standing was made in stopping
two poor fighters in one night at Madison
square garden. He afterwards met Bob
Fitzsimmons in New Orleans and showed
himself to be thorough 'quitter" as
the fighters say.
Round one was lightning work, God
dard getting the best of il an0 landing
often.
Round two was one of punishment and
! smashing. Maher got in soaker on
Goddards breast knocking him against
| the ropes; Goddard dashed at him ana
| game him fierce blow on the breast and
Maher fell back under its effects
| In the third round Maher caught God
dard behind the ear; the latter> seemed
maddened and dashing forward struck
Maher hard blow on the head the latters
legs wobbled and he went down from a
stiff punch on the neck never to rise
| again in that tiuht.
Maher smiled complacently wher t"'d
| that it was all over Goddard was well
winded when TIE show was over He
had had some very fast rounds probably
no man, not even Choynski had ever
given him such q crack as that sent him
against the ropes in the second round.
His face showed that he was surprised
at Maher's vehemency and tn s expression
on his feature caused more than one per
son to think that Maher either through
ignorance or viclousness had attempted
to give the Goddard party the "doubis
cross" and win if he possibly could. The
general opinion is that the Australian
will never do to fight Corbett or Jack
son.

Topic of the Conference.


WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The resolu-
tions introduced by representatives Will
son, of West Virginia, and Dockery, of
Missouri, providing for an inquiry into
the financial condition of the treasury,
formed the topic or discussion at con
the committee on rules to day. The
resolutions were referred to the rules
com nittee for action. At the conference
it was agreed that the two measures
should be consolidated in one and it is
probable that the democratic members OF
the committee, who, of course, form the
majority, will agree to report this substi
tute to the house with rule setting
apart time for its consideration. There
is unanimity Of the democratic majority
in favor of an investigation.

WAsnINGToN, Dec. S.-The first bus
mess of the morning hour was the motion
by Herbelts of Alabama, to table HO!-
mons motion to re consider the vote by
which the bill terminating reduction in
tbs engineer corps of the navy, was yes
terday passed. The yeas and nays were
ordertd and resulted: Yeas 10 nays
86 The motion to reconsider was .Ost
d. Taylor, Of Ohio, offered an
amendment authorizing the printing of
nautical altman acs when the secretary OF
the navy shall make such request, the
books to be placed on sale. He spoke
at some lenth in favor Of his pr posi-
ton. The amendment was lost.
Considerable discussion followed an
attempt to fix limit to the time allowed
for general debate on the printing bill.
Holman suggested that the time be llmi
ted to one hour. 50 many objections
were made to this proposition that it WAS
agreed to allow reasonable time for
debate
Richardson, of Tennessee, spoke at
length in explanation and advocacy of
the bill and said that the probable annual
reduction effected by this bill would ag
grcgate from $3.50, 600 to $780, ,000
Holman opposed that feature of the
bill which creates superintendent OF
documents, and devoted considerable
portion of his speech to the subject of
economy, saying that it was such extrav
agances as were carried in this bill, which
caused serious apprehension for the flu
tire Of our country. He would ask that
the bill be re committed in order tha,
the provisions for a superintendent OF
documents may be eliminated.
After some general discussion Richard
son demanded the previous question on
the senate bill as amended The bill was
passed to a third reading
Holman offered a motion to recommit
the bill to the committee on printing
with instructions to strike out the sec
tion relating TO 3 superintendent of pub
lie documents.
Scott of Illinois offered an amendmen
to Holman's motion prohibiting the EN-
ployment Of apprentices in the govern
mcnt printing offices. Disagreed to.
The question recurred on Holman
motion to recommit with instructions
