Failure Of the Brussels Con-
ference.

Tho Bland Silver Bil May Be Made a
Special Order--sanders Before
the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE silver and
anti-ailver men in the house are engaged In
little light skirmishing in anticipation of
the failure OF the Brussels international
conference from which tho members sny
they expect nothing. Each side Ia now en-
deavoring to learn something Of tho pur-
poses and views OF the other side. Talks
with free silver men and avowed opponents
Of the present Sherman law show that il is
believed to be unlikely that ANYTHING will be
done at this session. either in the way of
the repal OF the Sherman law or the enact
ment of more radical silver legislation.
This morning the house coinage COM
mittee held regular meeting.
A day was set for the considera-
tion Of Williams bill to repeal the
Sherman law. Williams, its author. was
not present. and the bill went over. There
was some very informal general discussion
of the silver question. The proposition
was put forward in rather indefinite shape
that an opportunity would be given in the
house for vote on the repeal of the Sher-
man law. The free coinage men are not
unwilling that this should be done. but, in
order to preserve their present parliament
by which to accomplish this was to take up
the Bland bill, which at the last ses sion was
finally displaced by few di!atofy motions.
after the speaker found 1t necess cry to cast
Il deciding vote on the bill.
Bland and Pierce, leaders OF the free sill
yer section of the democratic party in the
house. expressed willingness to give the
other side an opportunity to offer the Will

Bland bill. provided, on their part. the anti
silver men would agree to let the house
come to vote on the question of the free
coinage of silver and other propositions
more favorable to the extended use Of silver
currency than tho present law. Tracy, of
New York, and Taylor. of Illinois. without

alton to the house that the support of the
rules committee could be obtained to res
olution making the silver bill n special or
der, but nothing in the past history of the
committee warrants the conclusion that il
will be able tn act harmoniously and as a
unit ON the question of the consideration
of silver legislation in the house.

BALTIMORE, Dec. A.--There has just been
issued for private circulation among the
bishops OF tho Catholic church in the
United States an abstract OF the minutes Of
the late conference OF archbishops in New
York. II states that Mgr. Satolli informed
the metropolitans that ne had been oommis-
stoned by the holy father to speak to them
In his name on the question OF Catholic
education. He then read and explained
fourteen propositions. which he laid before
the archbishops for the purpose OF finally
settling the school question, and indicat-
ing the means that ahould be adopted for
impartinR religious instruction to Catholic
children. After having declared that this
statement WAS made in she name of the
pope, satoili went. on to say. more

as it had been customary with the holy
see to appoint an apostolic delegate

felt desire that now permanent apostolic
delegation be established in tho United
States. with the concurrence of the most
reverend arehbishops. &# t
Certain notifications were suggested to
this. and Satolli explained that the docu-
ments represented the mind of the pope,
which did not admit of discussion, but that
the style and expressions were his (Satol-
li's) and he would be happy to make in
them any modification tho assembled pre-
lates deemed best.
After considerable discussion certain
notifications were made on the lines pre-
viously stated in those dispatches. Arch
