ALL FROWN ON SILVER.
TIE BRUSSELS COME RENoE APT
TO PROVE A FIzZLH

The English Delegates Bent on Making
1t AbOrtive-The Proposals Submit
ted by the American Delegates
Coldly Received-Barou Rothschld
Proposes to Run Pool in Silver.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 25-At the meeting of
the international monetary conference to-
day Senator Allison and Senator John T.
Jones set forth the American proposals and
reviewed the monetary situation iu the
United States and other countries repre-
sented IN the conference. They submitted a
general plan on bimetallism offered by tho
United States, showing first, that the re-
establishment and maintenance of a fixed
parity between gold and silver and the con-
tinued use of both as coined money Of full
debt paying power would be productive of
important benefit to the world.
The American delegates also submitted a
resolution declaring that in the opinion Of
the conference it is desirable that means be
found for an increasing use OF silver in the
currency systems Of the nations. A docu-
ment prepared by the American delegates
and presented with the resolution explained
that they wished that an opportunity bo af~
forded to consider their plans.
ENGLAND AS AN oBsTRUCToR.
English influences are evidently busy in
opposition to the American schemes. The
English delegates hardly make any conceal
ment OF the fact that they mean il possible,
TO make the conference abortive. They
privately hint that the object of EnRlands
representation in the conference is to enable
the British government to tell the govern
ment OF India that they have done all that is
possible and that If no agreement can be
arrived at 1t is because the problem is an
insoluble one.
THE AMERICAN PROPOSALS.
The document submitted by the Ameri-
cans concluded as follows: "These ends will
be accomplished by the removal of the legal
restrictions now existing and the coinage of
silver into full legal tender money. restor-
ing by international agreement the parity
of value between the metals at such a ratio
as the conference may decide upon. The
essentials of such an international arrange
ment should be:
81. Unrestricted coinage Of both gold and
silver into money Of full debt paying power.
"2 Fixing ratio in coinage between the
metals.
"3. Establishment OF a uniform charge.
If any, to the public for mintng gold aud
silver coins"
COLDLY RECEIVED.
The American proposals were coldly re-
ceived. M. Ttrard OF tho French delegation,
VINO speaks with authority "a former min
lister OF finance, declined to consider the
proposals without fret consulting the
French government, and In this position NJ.
Iirard wa6 sustained by most of the other
delegates, who also declined TO give consid-
GRAFTON to the American proposals without
consulting their respective governments.
Thereupon the American delegates de-
cided to withdraw their proposals pro-
visionally.
Alfred de Rothschild Of the British dele
CATION announced that he would propose to-
morrow TO create au international syndicate
TO purchase silver, with view of efFectiug
an appreciation In the value Of the metal.

GERMANY's Army BILL.
The Keiser's Speech Excites Live

The Keiser's Speech Excites Lively
Interest In France.
PARIS. Nov 25-The speech Of Chancel-
lor Ceprivi IN advocacy of the army bill is
discussed at length by French newspapers.
All unite in regarding tho chancellor's ut
terances as tribute TO the power of
France and they call attention especially
TO his admissions that Germany has lost the
military supremacy of Europe. The Re-
pubJtque Fr9ncdiSe says: "The debate
shows either that the kaiser is uneasy as to
the fidelity Of Austria aud Italy 10 the
bonds Of the triple alliance, or else he has
ulterior designs which are not openly
acknowledged"
The Figaro says: Evidently the triple
alliance is less solid than has been supposed.
Pu lie opinion regards the speech as alarm
ing aLd as indicating purpose on the part
Of Germany TO provoke war as soon as the
German army has been strengthened by
the additions provided for in the bill Al
though no feeling is manifested it is evi-
dent that there is no inclination In France
to avoid taking up the challenge, should the
kaiser offer it, while there Is a decided dis
inclination to initiate war"

EXMORE, VA. Nov. 25.-President-eleos
Cleveland to-day shot eight ducks as the re-
suit Of his first cunning since arriving at
Broadwater Island. OF this number four
were red heads and four were brants. After
waiting patiently for the waters 10 become
less rough and the strong northwesteriy
wind to at least partially subside, Mr.. Cleve-
land, accompanied by Charles B. Jeffers
son, entered a saliboat and they were
taken to the shooting blinds. George
Doughty, well-known local craftsman,
was in charge OF the sailboat, and Curt
Hargis, an attache of tho club house, oc4
cupied small boat in tow which carried de-
coys. This comprised the party. Upon
arriving at their location the decoys wers
placed and Hsrgis sailed around the blinds
some distance in order to frghten the ducks
and bring them within reach Of the waiting
sportsmen. Doughty remained with the
small boat, brought la the water fowl when

became trifle less strong, the ducks, which
have during the two preceding days how
cred over the water in enormous hocks, be-
gan to settle and the prospects for sport had
become rather poor before the Presidents
elect arrived at the blinds. As a conse-
quence Mr. Cleveland had but little oppor-
tunity TO test bis ability as a marksman, but
was successful in the few shots which hs
was able to secure.
Heavy tides also conspired TO make shoot
Ing difficult, and this fact coupled with the
still severe cold weather, caused Mr.. Cleve.
land to return after but two hours spent IN
the bliuds. Upon landing he expressed him
self as feeling excellent, having suffered hut
little Inconvenience from the col. He was
In good spirits and declared tnat he had
greatly enjoyed the sport. The rouRhness
OF the water thoroughly drenched the parry

To-DAY's PROGRAMME.
The programme for tomorrow has not
been determined this evening, and will de-
pend largely upon the weather. Should the
wind subsIde and the water become less
rough, Mr.. Cleveland will be taken to the

several hours ia duck shooting. But
