Brussels, Dec. 6. When the interna-
tional, monetary conference resumes its
sittings tomorrow, the first matter requlr-
ing settlement will be whether the re-
port of the committee appointed to con-
slider whether Mr.. Rothschild's plans
shall be further debated or the proposals
of the American delegates proceeded
with. Mr.. Rothschild, Sir c. Fremantle
and Sir William Houldstworth, all OF
whom are British delegates, desire some
expression of opinion regarding MIR. Roth
schild's plan from the full conference.
Mr.. Curric, another British delegate,
aims to bring the conference to Il speedy
close, and in common with some OF the
other delegates who are resigned to sec
the conference result in failure, would
accelerate the consideration of the Amer
lean resolutions rs fastening the wind
ing up Of the meeting. Sir Fremantle,
with Il. view to the resumption OF debate
on. the Rothschild plan, has amended his
declaration declining to pledge the En-
glisb government to withdraw its hall
sovereign pieces in favor Of silver. by
adding the words, Except concrrrently
with the adoption of the Rothschild prof.
ect or some other proposal having the
same compensatory. value" Sir {. Ere
mantle, who is deputy master OF the
British mint, has never been known to
take independent action or personal in
~itiative. and it is therefore taken for
granted that he is the m%outhpiecc of the
British government i'll announcing as
sent to the abolition of the half-sover-
eign.
If, despite the adverse report OF the
committee. the full conference adopts the
Rothschild plan, IL number Of the dele-
gates. will want the conference to close
or adjourn Dec. 1G ut the latest. If an
adjournment is taken, it is doubtful ii
there will be II full attendance when the
sittings arc resumed in January. -
