BIMErALLTSTS IRRITI TED.
They Think the British Delegates Want thu
Monetary Conference to Fnil.

BRUSSELS. Dec. 0.-The bimctallist delegates
expressed much irritation at tho indefinite
and double dealing course OF the British dole
cation. the majority of whose members seem
anxious to prevent any result except failure
OF the deliberations OF tho conference while
at the same time endeavoring to hoodwink
India and the strong himetallist sentiment in
Great Britain by pretence of sincerity. Tho
bimctallist delegates are thinking Of signing
. memorandum exposing tho duplcty Of
Great Britain. which is believed to be reflected
In the course of the British delegates.
Some Of the American delegates are not sat
tisfed with the statement OF President An
drews to the conference TINT tho United States
would sooner part with South America and
Asia than with Europe. They regard the state
mont as pandering to the m on ION etaist plans
OF Great Britain and Germany. and as not in
accord with American sentiment. and likely to
offend the republics OF South America. with
several OF whom tho United States has en-
tered into reciprocity treaties. Ono Of tho
chief fears OF the monom etallists OF Great
Britain and the continent has been that the
United States and South America might Join q
silver combination and ignore Europe. and
this apprehension has led the m onom etallists
to make at least some show Of conciliation. It
