New YORK, Dec. 5.-When the will OF
David Edgar Grouse was made public
on November 26, he having died five
days before, the requests made by the
Saratoga millionaire occasioned con-
siderable surprise. The estate has been

There was last week talk OF second

rHE MoNETARY CoNFERENCE

Resume. Its Sittings TO-dny-Probably NO
Compromise will be Reached.
BRUSSELS, Dec. 5.--The international
monetary conference resumes its ses-
sions tomorrow. The first matter re-
quiring settlement viii be whether the
report of the committee appointed to
consider the Rothschild plan shall be
further debated Or the proposals OF the
American delegates proceeded with.
Mr.. Rothschild, Sir G.. Fremantle and
Sir William Houldsworth, all OF whom
are British delegates, desire some e1-
preston oil opinion regarding Mr.: Roths-
child's plan from the full conference.
Mr.. Bertram Curtis. another British
delegate, aims to bring the conference
10 a speedy close, and in common with
some Of the other delegates who are re-
signed to see the conference fail, will
facilitate the consideration OF the Amer
lean resolutions Us Fastening the wind
ing up OF the matter. Sir @. Fremantle,
with a view to the resumption OF the
debate on the De Rothschild plan, has
amended his declaration declining to
pledge the English government to with
draw its half sovereign pieces in favor
OF silver by adding the words: Except
currently with the adoption OF the
Rothschild project or some other pro-
posal having the same compensatory
value" Sir c. Fremantle, who is dep
uty master OF the British mint, has
never been known to take Independent
action or personal initiative, and 1t Is
therefore taken for granted that he is
the mouthpiece OF the Irish movement
announcing assent to the abolition OF
the half sovereign.
II, despite the adverse report OF the
committee, the full conference adopts
Rothschild's plan, number OF the dele
gates will want the conference to adj
journ or close on December l6 at the
latest II an adjournment is taken tits
doubtful il there will be a full attend
ance when the sittings are resumed IN
January. Mr.. Currie has sent to the
Times a verbatim report OF the speech
he made before the conference on Fri
day. This report is similar to the here
toiore published accounts OF the speech
on its advocacy OF u gold standard. Mr..
Currie denies that evils are impending
to the world from n disuse OF the silver
standard. The costly silver expert
ments OF the United States, he says, are
never likely to find imitators. The
conference had met to endeayor to
raise the price OF commodities, an OBJ
iect that was entirely opposed to the
economic doctrines accepted in Great
Britain. Cheap goods, not dear goods;
plenty, not scarcity, had always been
held 10 be conditions profitable to
trade. That general fall OF prices
had been brought about by scarcity OF
gold had never been proved. Such
theory is at variance with the facts
within our knowledge. Mr.. Currie is
the strongest personality among the
British delegates and he will not bulge
an inch towards compromise.

a Document to BIO sent to the Senate
which VIII Lift Veil.
New York, Dec. 5.-A Washington
special says: A document on the sub
iect OF war vessels on the lakes will be
sent to the senate by the state depart
ment during the coming week. The in
formation was asked for by resolution
passed in the early part of last season,
and considerable surprisew was expressed
that the reply was not received before
Congress adjourned.
The subject OF the resolution was to
make the state department show cause
why the act passed in 1866 requiring
notice to be given to Great Britain oil
the desire OF the United States to abb
rogate the treaty regarding the number
of vessels to be kept on the lakes had
not been carried out. The reply OF
the department will be the basis for
congressional legislation looking to q
modification OF the treaty which will
admit OF the construction OF war YES
sells BY firms on the lakes. The same
resolution asked the secretary OF the
nav Tor information as to whether or
not any bids from lake firms for the
construction OF war vessels had been
respected because work OF this charac-
ter was held to be a violation OF the
treaty. The secretary OF the navy
promptly replied that one rejection
had been made on this account.
The state department has been &C.
cused OF evading the joint resolution
calling for the abrogation OF the treaty.
There are many people who think that
the treaty has been abrogated. There
is no doubt that such resolution was
passed, and it is on record that notice
was given to Great Britain in accord
ance Herewith of the intention OF this
government to abrogate the treaty:
What followed is a mystery outside OF
the diplomatic world. 1t is understood
that the statement will show that the
notice issued under the act was with
drawn within few days after it was is.
sued, and that for reasons then in ex-
istence both countries agreed to con-
slider the treaty still in force, 1t will be
further shown that the treaty is so re-
parded TO the present day by both gov:

A Man Who Live. to Eat.

In the costliest of the eating houses

quaintance, who spends between
twenty-five and thirty dollars day
for table expenses. He has no one but
himself to think of, and | think he is
an unusually well behaved fellow.
But his appetite is the biggest thing Of
its kind in town."
1t was observed that thirty dollars a
day was an outside figure for one in
dividual to eat up in day.
Not when the individual eats six
times every twenty-four hours and
has an especial fondness for canvas
back duck, terrapin and choice wines
suppose you've heard the idea ex-
pressed that the thin men are the big
eaters. That's a mistake. Thin men
have spasmodic appetites, and go for
two weeks at ia time pecking over their
plates like canaries. 1t is the stout,
fiorid party that eats long and largely,
and are the fellows that keep the guy
going against the thin men.
Now, that chap eating the duck
would give hundred thousand dol
lars to lose fifty pounds of flesh, but
ne can't deny his appetite if it were to
save his life. Funny, .eh2 What types
