ENGLAND AND BIMETALLISM.

Just what part England will take
in the forthcoming international BIZ
metallic conference will of course re-
main unknown until the time to act
comes, but the fact that that country
has consented to be represented in
such conference augurs well for the
future and the possible outcome will
be an agreement upon an universal
ratio between gold and silver as a
basis of bimetallicism for the whole
commercial world. That there has
been a change of views in England
upon the subject is illustrated by the
fact that few years ago the chancel-
lor of the British EXchequer, Mr..
Lowe exclaimed that 'only fools are
bimetallists, but the present chan
cellor, Mr. Goschen lately said: 81 do
not think bimetallism is nonsense at
all. l think it is a very serious de-
mand for change which, if adopted,
would produce very large results"
Undoubtedly this represents change
that has come over that country, but
it may not have reached point that
will admit of a definite understanding
being arrived at. No doubt if Eng
land enters into an agreement it will
be because of the condition of affairs
forced upon it by India.
That country is an integral part of
the British empire. For long time
it was supposed, and for a longer time
claimed, that no matter what changes
might occur in the relative value of
the two metals in London the Indian
rupee would undergo no practical loss
of value to the wheat and cotton
growers of the Punjab. 1t has been
found, on the contrary, that not only
has British India suffered, but En-
glish manufacturing interests also,
until at length the stubborn preju-
dices of John Bull have largely given
way.
1t may be too much to hope the sill
yer question as it now diSturbS Ameri
can politics, embarassese enterprise and
burdens labor, will be settled by the
conference in such way as to remove
it from the general discussion of the
times, but such settlement would be
an incalcuable benefit to every inter-
est of the country.

SENATOR QUAY TEsTIFIEs.
He says He Was Not Connected
with the Bar1isley steal.

BEAVER, Pa, Jan. 20.-Senator Quay
and David Martin, of Philadelphia, were
the most important witnesses examined
in the Star libel suit, Martin testified
that he came to Quay for campaign
funds, and received 81 900 in cash and
the senator's personal note for $4,000.
The note could not be discounted at the
time, and Quay gave his personal check
for that amount. 1t as discounted
later, and John Bardsley gave him a GER
tihcate of deposit on the Keystone bank.
He gave the certificate to Quay at Wash
ington.
Senator Quay testified that he was
asked to give money to the campaign
fund, and related the transaction as sta
ted by Martin. He could not swear to
his endorsement on the certificate, but
swore to the signature on his check. He
said he had met ohm Bardsley but
once. He admitted that he was really
liable for $4,000 to the Philadelphia
company for campaign purposes.
When asked whether he was connected
with the Bardsley steal he replied: THAT
is false" 1t was developed that Quay
sent the certificate to the Beaver bank,
but had not indorsed it. His assistant
cashier, S. P. Stone, stated on the stand
that he had done it tor him. State
Chairman Andrews and Senator Porter
were also examined, but nothing start
ling was elected.

HOw'S THIS?
East street work Has Been Paid
For, Hut Never Accepted.

East street work Has Been Paid
For, But Never Accepted.
Several months ago the city authorities,
seeing that the builders OF the Lookout
Mountain railway were not disposed to
widen East street, according to con-
tract, for the iulhllment of which they
had given bond OF $1,000, gave the
contract for the widening to Webb &
Oates, the price to be paid being 5000.
This amount was not to be- palu in
full until the entire Job was completed.
The work IS not yet completed, and the
board has never accepted the street, yet
the contractors have been paid the tuil
amount OF the contract price Ill notes ui
the city, signed by Mayor Blanton and
City Clerk Young. Inc amounts were
paid as follows: Dec. Z, $500; Dec. IL
order to s. NJ. Redmond, $50; Dec. rs,
5000 and $1S5; total, 5000.
The payment OF this amount has
never been authorized by the board OF
aldermen. 1t is true that committee
with power to act" was appointed
composed OF Aldermen Mcdowell, Leo
nard ann Starnes and Mayor Blanton.
Some of the committee went down and
looked at the street, and called the
contractors attention to unfinished por-
tions of the work. Some OF this work
now remains unfinished, yet in spite OF
that tact, and the further facts that the
committee has never authorized the pay
ment, and the street has never been ac-
cepted by either the street committee or
the board, Webb & Oates hold the city S
notes or cash, to the amount of 5000,
less SIS paid to S. Nj. Redmond for
work done.
Alderman Starnes, who is chairman
OF the street committee, told THE CITIZEN
today that he could not see why the notes
had been given. There were detects in
the work, and until these were remedied
the street should not be accepted. lr
some places, he said, the old plank side
walk had been torn up and never re
placed; and the result is that East street
is sea OF mud.

FREE COINAGE OF SILVER
1T WILL BE VOTED ON FEB
RUARY THE TENTH.
1t Looks as If Free and Unlimited
Coinage 10 Likely to Pass the
HOuse-The Free silver Men Are
ON Top Now, Anyway.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Three weeks
from today at II O'Clock a. NJ, the house
committee on coinage, weights and
measures will, by terms of resolution
agreed upon in the committee this morn
ing, vote upon the question of reporting
to the house bill for the free and un-
limited coinage of silver.
This decision was reached harmoniously
and after the meeting the auti-silver men
realized that they were in minority on
the committee and the free-silver men,
confident of their strength, were disposed
to meet the other side half way in an ar
rangement that would bring the matter
before the house within reasonable
length of time, SO that decision as to
the hour of voting was unanimous.
The proceedings in the committee indi-
cate that it is very likely the committee
will report to the house bill Tor the
free and unlimited coinage of silver with
the recommendation that it do pass.

LONDON, Jan. 2o.-The body of the
Duke OF Clarence and Avondale was re-
moved from the Parish church at San
dringham today.
The miserable weather which had pre-
vailed for several days past and which,
in great degree, is responsible
bic for the abandonment of the plans for
a military funeral, had passed away and
the day dawntd fine and cold.
At $50 o'clock detachment of artil-
lery, with draped gun carriage drew
up at the church gates and the discip'
lined soldiers and well-trained horses
stood ilnmovable in positions assigned
to them. The game-keepers and labor
ers employed on the Prince of Wales, es'
tate, and nearly all villagers residing at
Sandrlnghan, with all of whom the dead
duke had been a tavorite, stood grouped
about the gates, while the road from
Sandringham hall to the church was
lined with school children.

INFANT DAMNATION.
Revision Committee Says the

New YORK, January 20.-The general
assembly of the committee on the revis-

ress in revising their former revision i'll
accordance with the recommendations
of the various presbyteries.
The doctrine of infant damnation is en-
trely eliminated by the adoption of the
following substitute for chapter xii, sec
ton ill., which now reads:
Infants dying in infancy, and all other
persons who are not guilty of actual
transgression are included in the election
of grace and are saved and regenerated
by Christ through the spirit who worketh
when and where and how he pleaseth.
So also are all other elect persons who
are not called by the ministry of the

WHITE WINGS OF PEACE
THEY AGAIN HOVER OVER
THE NAVY DEPARTMENT.

secretary Tracy Has "a Quiet Day
The senate Committee Oh Naval
Affairs Promise to stand by
Him-ReparatiOn Will be Made.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2o.-There was a
decided diminutlon in the war talk
around the navy department this morn
ing and more peaceful feeling prevailed.
Secretary lracy had a comparatively
quiet morning, though he found plenty
to occupy him. He had a conference
with Senators Cameron and McP herson,
OF the senate naval committee, and 1t Is
understood that the secretary laid before
them statement OF the expenditures he
has recently incurred IN his preparations
for naval demonstration in southern wa
ters, and asked that when his estimate
for appropriations should be submitted
he receive the support OF the committee.
A week ago, lie is alleged to nave sand
that those preparations seemed to be
absolutely necessary, but now ne believes
there will be no war. 1t is further un-
derstood that the secretary received the
assurances OF the committee that he
would be supported in every proper and
necessary expenditure involved III his
precautionary movements.
This expression on the part of the sec
retary OF the belief that the crisis has
been passed. is taken as an indication
that conIlliatory dispatches from the
ChilIan government, referred to in yes
terday's associated press report OF the
cabinet meeting, are regarded as paving
the way for an ultimate act OF repara-
tion on the part OF Chill. At all events
1t IS certain that the warlike tone re-
Gently manifested at the navy depart
ment has been considerably modined.
No step has been taken, however. to
undo all that has been 50 hurrledly done
by the department during the past few
weeks to put this country on lighting
basis.
