LONDON, Dec. 9.-Letters from the
British delegates to the Brussels conference
announce their return to England next
week. They will not oppose whatever re-
quest the American delegates may make in
regard to a prolonged adjournment. The
representative of the Associated Press has
authority from high source to state that
the official delegates, Sir G. Rivers Wilson
and Sir G. Fremsntle, deputy master of
the British mint, do not expect the con-
ference to be resumed and that Bertram
Currie will decline to return to Brussels.
In the meantime Baron Herschelrs India
without date until the BRUSSELS conference
should have ended, has resumed its sittings
and is taking evidence of experts.
This committee has been working in
Baron Herschell's room in the house of
lords, where several representatives of In
dian finances and Mr.. Golf, a we'll known
monomstsllist, have been heard on success
i've days since Monday. The members of
the committee seem strongly in favor of
the adoption of the gold coinage in India
and the concurrent cessation of the free
coinage of silver. What chiefly prevents
an early determination of this policy is the
uncertainty prevailing among the members
regarding the action of the American gov
ernment, as the risk of psralyzing the
Anglo-Indian trade would be increased
tenfold under the repeal of the suspension
of the silver purchase act. The commit
tee has strong reason to await developments
in the United States. Mr.. Currie is among
the minority which seems ready to riak
everything by a prompt declaration in ia.
vor of gold.
The representative of the Associated Press
has reason to state that apart from the
protests of the Anglo Indian bankers,
leading single standard experts have adj
vised the committee against such a radical
change in the Indian currency. The In
MAN government also would prefer that
committee put such report to parliament
as would be tantamount t. a recommends
tfon that the existing system be left I'M
touched.
Questioned by the Indian Currency as
ISOLATION as to whether it would take meas
ures to protect the currency in the event
of failure of the Brussels conference, the
Indian government to-day replied, declin-
ing assurances on the subject.
Pending decision by the Hershell COM
mittee the India Currency association
thought to steady the position by getting
the Indian government to promise not to
sell council bills below fixed rate. The
government, however, prefers to retain
freedom of action.
Home Secretary Aequith visited Port
land prison to-day, and made a long in
spection of the convicts and their quarters,
making specials inquiries in regard to the
condition of the imprisoned Irish national
