TO RESTORE SILVER.
England Will Accept Invitation
to International Conference.
A VICTORY FOR REPUBLICANS.
Squire and Allen Working Hard for the
gress Disscussins Appropriations.

WASHINGTON CRY. May lit is stated
at the treasury department this afternoon
that no official response has been received
from any foreign government invited to
join in the silver conference. The Lon
don press dispatches containing Goschen's
statement that England will send delegates
created no surprise. for the reason that pos
tive assurances have been received from
other governments and the president had
delayed the issuance of formal invitations
for the monetary conference until after he
had received satisfactory assurances that
the principal European countries would
be represented. The invitations were
mailed two weeks ago, and responses may
be looked for in . short time.
LONDON, May 1I-Goschen, chancellor of ex-
cheqner, announced to a number OF bi-metallic
Populations that waited upon him today, that
England would accept the invitation Of the
United states to take part in the international
conference to discuss the silver question.
Goschen added that IL would be seen that in ac-
cspting this invitation the government would
not commit itself in any way to any actual
principle. The United States had doubtless
framed the invitation in a manner to make 1t
easy for countries invited to accept. In
arriving at this decision the government had
been guided by consideration for such large
AAuuSsIASs % WeTe IepIceouteu Oy INC incui-
beers OF the deputations. The government
would also bear in mind the views and inter-
ests of India. The fact that the government
would accept tho invitation imposed upon it
discretion which he was sure the Populations
would appreciate. Tho government was pre-
pared, 30 far as lay in its power, to consider
the views of the deputation. He trusted the
conference would 60 far IN that direction, ar
irving at 4 satisfactory conclusion Of the vexed
question that would meet all the difficulties
with long applause.
Goschen received the Populations, which in
cludet representatives OF the Chamber of Com
merce, bankers, manufacturers and members
worth, member of the commons for the
Northwest division OF Manchester and a large
cotton spinner, stated that all the chambers of
commerce of Great Britain concurred in urging
the government to accept the invitation of the
United States to take part in
the conference, which he hoped would
settle the question once for all.
The situation was becoming worse and worse,
and unless 1t was remedied disaster was inevi-
table. A number of delegates spoke in similar
manner, and Lord Salisbury asked Goschen to
reply, informing them that it was the govern
ments intention to accept the invitation.
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Associated Press
cable advices from London indicate that the
Thursday morning papers more or less
sharply criticse the acceptance OF the govern
ments invitation to q silver conference.

WORK OF wAsHINGTON SENATOR'S.
Urging tho COlville and PuyaIlup In.
dian Bills-Dawes OppOsing.

WASHINGTON CrTY, May 1l.-[Special. T.
Senator Allen today devoted several hours
to preparing report for the Senate
committee on Indian affairs on
the substitute for the Colville
Indian bill, which the committee
voted to report favorably yesterday. SEN
ator Allen today called at the treasury de-
partment aud urged the officials to hasten
action in making report on the United
States marshal for the district of Wash
ington. This matter has been hanging fire
for some time.
Senator Squire had q long conference
with Senator Dawes today on the subject
of the Puyallup Indian reservation bill.
Senator Dawes is determined to insist and
press the bill which his committee has re-
ported, and says that it is the only one
which will do justice to all the
Indians. Senator Allen is intending
to insist upon his bill as the
proper one, and is trying to secure the CO.
operation of Senate. Squire in support of
his position. Senator Squire feels that
some legislation should be mad, and he
wants to support that measure which will
be apt to secure favorable consideration by
both houses and the president. Senator
Allen thinks that his bill does justice to
all concerned, even if it is opposed by the
interior department.

METHODIST BISHOP AT SEATTLE.
III Washington Gets an Ep:scopate the
Residence VIII Be Here

OMAHA, May IL Special. The COM
mittee on episcopal residences recommend
10 the NJ. f. conference an episcopal resi-
dence in the state of Washington. giving
Seattle the preference. The matter will
be debated in conference when the repor,
Is presented. The changes indicated are
new residences in Europe, Japan, Detroit
and Washington. and transfer of the old
residences Of Buffalo, Topeka, Fort Worth
and Cincinnati, all of which cities give
strong opposition. 4 strong feeling ex-
lists against electing any new bishops. but
this change Of residence may force the
election Of three or four. The col
ored men ask for one bishop
OF African descent. which Is under
consideration and will DO probably recon-
mended. but 1t is doubtful if it passes.
The subcommittee on itinerary recon-
mend the entire abolition of the
time limit. leaving pastoral appoint
ments 10 he made annually without any
definite period of limitation. This bill
Will probably pass the itinerary commit
tee and Will be recommended to
the conference. The names men
toned for the episcopacy are
pr ]. o. Peck, OF Brooklyn; DR.. NeeIy. Of
Philadelphia, and Dr. Bait, of New
Jersey. but no decided preferences
are vet expressed. The man suc-
gested for colored bishop is DR.
Aristides Albert. OF New Orleans, now edi-
tor OF the Southeastern Advocate. All the
Facshc coast delegates are well and hard

DEPUTIES FOR THE MINES.

Ownera and WOrkmen Preparing for
Conflict In Ceur d'Alene.
SPOKANE May 1l.-[Special. Fifty
four deputy United States marshals,
in charge of Deputy Joe Warren, arrived
here today on Spokane e. Palouse
train and left at once over the
Northern Pacific for the scene of the
miners union troubles in C9ur d Alenes.
The deputies were recruited in the Palouse
country, across the line in Idaho. It is
understood that they are to be sent to the
scene Of the trouble in small numbers, so
as not to excite the suspicion of the
miners.
Advices received today from the mines
state that the rides and ammunition Or
dered for the miners have arrived. The
miners admit that they have received
three cases of rifles and case of ammu-
milton, and claim that the union as
body has nothing whatever to do with the
matter. They were ordered by individual
members, who claim that they feel it their
duty as American citizens to arm them
selvesfor protection against the blood-thirs-
ty men who are expected to be brought in 20
assist the owners in running their proper
ties. The affair has an ugly significance,
however, which cannot be misinterpreted,
and which clearly shows the determine
ton of the miners.

sTATE SUPREME COURT.
Decision That = Partnership Of Husband
and Wife IL Invalid.

OLYMPIA, May 11.-[special.] lin the
case of the Board of Trade of Seattle, I. K.
Dawson ct al, respondents. VS.. Mary Hay
den, appellant from Whatcom county,
the supreme court decided today
that wife cannot become the
partner of her husband in this
state. In reviewing the case the court
points out that,it is the purpose of the
statute to free the wife from the control of
her husband and To relieve her property
from his debts and management. but that
this purpose would be defeated If she could
become her husbands partner. and thus
place her property interests in his keeping
by reason of the control that a partner
nay exercise over the partnership prop
erty. and render her separate estate liable
for the partnership debts created by
his imrrovidence. The judgment is
reversed and the case ordered dismissed.

COOLIES HER CARGO.
The Schooner L0ttie Lost Off
the Coast of Oregon.
NOT A SOUL WAS SAVED.
She Was Carrying Chinese From Victoria

Three White Men.

VICTORIA, B. c., May 11.-[Special.]-
Yesterday telegram from Astoria an
nounced that the Victoria sealing schooner
Lottie, "the baby of the fleet" had
been picked up dismantled and
clean swept, floating bottom up off
Tillamook, south of the Columbia river.
Search was Immediately made at the GUS
tom-house for the names of the missing
crew, when the strange circumstance pre-
sented itself that no one had been signed
in the usual way for the cruise.
1t was explained that Captain Buffers
companions were his partners in the enter
prise, and that articles therefore were not
required. Reporters prosecuting in
quiries as to the lost men,
stumbled on the fact that while
posing as q sealer, the Lottie's real char
acter was that of a Chinese ferry boat
Early in April she was chartered from her
owner. Thomas HIATT, of Boundary bay.
ostensibly for sealing. She made
one short trip and then returned
to port and took on supplies scarcely sutfi-
clent for o sealing cruise, it is true, but
still quite enough for the purpose. After
clearing from the customhouse on April
II in tho usual way. she
anchored in the lagoon, not far
from the entrance to Victoria harbor
Here she lay for day or two, apparently
waiting for better weather and here she
took on board twenty-eight Victoria
Cinnamon who were anxious to
be landed on California soil as
near as possible to San Francisco. They
were willing to take the risks Of sea voy-
age along the coast, and these risks were
not inconsiderable when the trip
was to be made in Teton
cookie shell like the Lottie. and also to
pay good round sum for the passage.
Money will reach over many obstacles,
and so ii is not hard to understand why
the white men were ready to brave the
dangers Of the cruise. They thought, too,
that in event of bad weather they
could run into some port for shelter, Sc.
cure in their character as sealers. Evil
IDENTIFY too great confidence was placed in
the schooner's seaworthiness, for the
news from Astoria gives little hope that
any one or anything was saved from her.
The names of the white men who sailed
from here cannot be accurately as
certained. Thomas Butler commando,
and his companions were known
as "Fifteen-dollar Charlie" Rafferty, and
Gus Erickson, the latter a well-known
steamboatman. and formerly second mate
of the City of Kingston. His friends were
making anxious inquiries tonight, with a
view to proving or disproving that be was
one of the missing.
