A MONETARY CONFERENCE.
THE SUNS ANNOUNCEMENT CONFIRMED
FROM OFFICIAL SOURCES.
Invitations Sent by the Preaident 10 Other
Nntions-The United States Has the Co.
operation ef England and Francs.

WASHINGTON. April 21.--The announcement
made in THE SuN this morning that President
Harrison has invited the nations OF tho world
to a monetary conference is confirmed to-day
from an official authority that Is beyond Quos-
tons Secretary Blaine will not admit that the
invitations have been prepared. and Acting
Secretary Of state Wharton. who has had di-
rect charge OF the negotiations. says that he
cannot statewhat action has been taken. He is
not willing. however. to deny tho accuracy of
THE SUNS statement.
Private Secretary Halford virtually admits
that the arrangements for the proposed con-
ference have been completed. and bureau
officer Of the Treasury SAYS that all necessary
steps have been taken. that the conference is
now an assured fact. and that within fort
night tho responses will be received and made
public. 1t is known TINT the United States
Government has the cooperation OF England
and France in her proposition for tho confer
cnce. and it Is further known that certain
changes and concessions in tho proro-
sition OF the United States were made
at the request Of Chancellor Goschcn.
who talked over tho whole subject with
Secretary Foster when tho latter was
in England last month. Mr. Goschcn desired.
among other things. to have it distinctly UNI
derstood that the countries participating in tho
conference were not to be asked to open their
mints to tho unlimited coinage Of silver. but
only that steps should be taken looking to a
more liberal and universal use Of silver rs u
circulating medium.
Tho President has Informally received assur-
ances from nearly all of the Governments to
whom his invitations were addressed that they
would be accepted. so that he gives himself
little or no concern on that score His next
duty in connection with the subject will be to
select the proper men to serve as Commission
ers from the United States. whose names he
will undoubtedly submit to the Senate for con-
nrmation.
When the silver men in Congress learn what
tho President has done they will be very in
dignant, because the President agreed not to
take any definite steps looking to monetary
conference until he had consulted with them.
One OF the leading Republican silver Senators
has read all the correspondence between the
State Department and Minister Lincoln. and
has the Presidents assurance that he would
consult him as to the propositions to be sub
mittcd to the conference. This Senator thinks
it will amount to nothing but he is none the
less indignant at the President for breaking
faith with him.
