Mr. BALFOUR
London, May 11.-1n accordance with the arrange
mcnt made by the Conservatives after Mr. Gladstone
had declined 70 receive labor depuiaton 10 discuss
the eight question: Lord salisbury agreed 10 re
ceive deputaon from the London Trades Council.
and to-day h" was waited upon bv several represent
atves Of that body The spokesman OF the dcputa'on
urged upon Lord salisbury the necessity for the legal
establishment OF an eghthour day. in order to cqualzc
the conditions between those who compelled to
work for an excessive number OF hours and those who
without work at all. Lord Salisbury listened t.
the arguments advanced in support of this proposition,
but his manner did not lead the depu,ation to bclcve
that they could count or him to support their request
In replying to the depuation Lord salisbury said
they must not assume because he had consented to
receive them. that he had been converted to their
views as To the necessity expcdicncy Of establish

One Of the arguments used by the d'pnta'ion was
that while strikes TO bring about the establishment

To this Lord Salisbury replied that If an Eight Hour

ENGLAND TO TAKE PART.
THE INVITATION OF THIS GOVERNMENT FOR
A SILVER CONFERENCE ACCEPTED.

Mr. GoscHEN's REPLY TO BIMETALLIC DEpU-
TATIoNs WHICH URGED ITS ACCEPTANCE
LORD SALISBURY rRE:ENT.
London, May 11.-NIr Goschen, Chancellor of
the Exchequer, announced to several bimctallc
deputations that waited upon him to-day that
England would accept the invitation Of the United
States TO take part in an international conference
10 discuss the silver question.
Lord Salisbury and Mr.. Balfour were present
when Mr.. Goschen received the deputations. which
included representatives of Chambers of Com
merce, bankers, manufacturers, and members
of trades unions. Sir William Henry 1Iouds-
worth, member of the House of Commons for the
northwest division of Manchester and a large
cotton spinner in that city, was n member of one
of the deputatOns lie said that all the Cham
bers of Commerce in Great Britain concnrred in
urging the Government to accept the invitation
of the United States. to take part in the con-
ference, which, he hoped would settle the ques-
ton once for all. The situation was becoming
worse and worse: and, unless it was remedcd.
and the developments in India were arrested. dis
aster was inevitable. Several other delegates
spoke in a similar manner. Lord Salisbury asked
Mr.. Goschen to reply, informing the deputations
that il was the Governments intention to accept
TIE invitation.
ain had received an invitation on Monday from
the United States to send delegates to a confer
ence for the purpose of discussing what measures
can be taken TO increase the use Of silver In the
currency systems Of the Nations. 1t wonld seem
that in accepting the invitation, the Government
would not commit itself in any way to any actual
principle The United States Government hai
doubtless framed the invitation in manner that
would make it easy for the various countries IN
vied to take part in the conference 10 accept the
invitation. In arriving at this decision, the
Government had been guided by consideration
for such large industries were represented by
the members of the deputation. The Government,
Mr. Goschen continued, would also bear in mind
the views and interests Of India. The fact that
the Government would accept the invitation i'm
poeed upon it discretion which he was sure the
deputations would appreciate in conclusion, Mr..
Goschen said that the Government was prepared,
So far as lay in it's power, to consider the views
Of the deputations. He trusted that the confer
ence would 90 far in the direction Of arriving at
% satisfactory conclusion Of a vexed question, and
that it would meet all the difficulties that had
been raised Mr. Goschen's statement was re-
ceived with long applause.
