THE MONETARY CoNFEKENCE.

General Interest Centers in the Pro-
posaIs of Baron Kothschild.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 26.-No. meeting Of
the international monetary conference
was held today, the adjournment yes
terday being until Monday. General
expectation certers on the plan 20 be
submitted by Baron Alfred'de Roths-
child. The bimetallists are eanguine
that it will form 2 basis fer Il solution OF
the questions before the conference. On
the other hand, the mono-metallists de.
clare that i'll view OF the position taken
by the German and Austrian delegates
and the probable attitude of the British
representatives. the congress is certain
to fail, and that it will only be waste
of time to proong the discussion.
1t was said yesterday that Roth
schild's proposals would be made public
today, but the text Of the proposals is
not yet completed. Rothschild says
they will not be seen in their final
shape until Monday.
Among the runlors in circulation, to
which the delegates attach importance,
is one that the various European powers
will yearly buy eilver to the minimum
amount OF e5,0Q0.000, at pricen TO be
fixed by general agreement, on condi-
tion that the United States continues its
silver purchases to the extent OF $780,
600 ounces.
Notwithstanding the fact that Roths-
child refuses to give out his proposals
until Monday, the report is generally
credited that they contain the statement
that an international syndicate should
be formed to buy silver until the normal
value OF the metal ia established.

READING COAL COMBINE.
The Interstate Sub Committee CONTINUED
Its Investi alton.


Its Investigation.
New York, Nov. 26.-The sub COM
mittee on interstate commerce continued
its investigations into the Reading coal
combine today. Vice-president Holden
of the Lackawanna road testified freely
as to the companies which met and
fixed prices from time to time, but de-
clined to say how the restriction Of the
output was accomplished.
Holden admitted that his company
was represented at the tide.water meet
ings which were in the nature OF con-
ferences, and the various companies
represented usually acted in concert.
There was no agreement between them
as to what the reduction OF the output
of each should be. There was some
process, however, by which the compa-
nies reduced the production to meet the
public demand.
The witness also stated that the pro-
ducers had no agreement among them
selves, as far as he knew, by which they
acted in harmony in fixing prices. He
said since the existence OF the combina-
ton there had been no material de-
crease in the output; in fact for 1892 1T
was already the largest ever known, and
exceeded Last years output by 1,500, 900
tons.
Congressman Patterson stated that
the committee wanted to get at the
fact, if it existed, that the companies
acted according to an agreement III the
matter OF limiting production.
E. H. Head, president of the Pennsyl-
vania Coal COMPANY. testified that his
company was represented at the tide
water meetings, and said there Was no
agreement by which each company re-
duced its output proporticnately
Adjourned until Monday.

How the Civil Service Works in the
Treasury Department.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The report of
General Rosecrsns, register of the treas

were those initiated by the presidents
order of December 4, 1891, aiming to put
each clerks efficiency record beyond the
reach of accidents which the minds of
the chiefs may be liable to make in re-
cording standings. Rosecrans suggests
that some defects be remedied, among
other things decrying competitive ex-
aminations and holding that monthly
record OF efficiency is greatly superior to
