LONDON, March 7.-Hon Charles Fos-
ter, Secretary OF the United States Treas
ury, and Right Hon. Goschen, Chancel-
lor of the EXchequer, have had two in
terviews, but nothing has been settled
concerning holding a Currency Confer
ence. That matter depends entirely upon
the coming negotiations. Foster will
start Tor southampton tomorrow, where
he will proceed on a short visit to the
Isle Of Wight before sailing Wednesday
Oh his return to the United States. He
made rapid tour around London, visit
ing the docks, the Tower of London and
the National Gallery. He also visited
the Seven Dials district. The health OF
the Secretary shows marked improve
ment.
Secretary Foster, in an interview to-
day, said it was impossible to disclose the
nature Of his conversations with Goschen.
Perhaps they referred to the currency
conference, but the matter was not dis
cussed at any length. He said if a salts
factory basis is obtained he would not
hesitate TO confer.
Speaking of the weakness of the BIZ
metallic section in the Germany and
Austro-Hungarian project to return to
gold, the Secretary said: I'VE are per-
fectly aware Of these difficulties, but
have been surprised to find so much in
terest taken in bimetallism in England,
and the extent to which public opinion is
growing in favor of double standard"
Foster said if Teller's Senate reSolu-
ton is carried it will be the Presidents
duty to call a conference, but he could
not yet say whether there was reasonable
assurance that the call would be re-
sponded to.
Some OF the English papers have re-
produced the substance of the interview
with Foster, cabled to New York last
week, and in which the expression,
"clam-mouthed,' as applied to Irish inn
migrants, created much discussion. Mr..
Foster reiterated the statement that the
expression was not his. 81 used" said
he, "a familiar phrase, flannel mouthed,'
to denote the raw immigrant whose chill

Horrible Fate OF Young German
Rancher in Nevada.
AUSTIN New, March Word has
been received of the horrible fate of a
young German rancher named I.copoid
Bauman, who left Santa Rosa, Cal, in
December last for his ranch, forty miles
distant from Austin. He arrived at Cor
tez, New, on January 18th, and left for
his home on horseback, distant thirty
five miles. At that time fully thirty
inches of snow covered the ground and
the mercury had reached very low
point. A few days ago brother of the
deceased had occasion to go to Couez
from his ranch, and when three miles of
the journey was reached he found sad
die and blankets, together with an over
coat On reaching Cortez he found that
his brother had left there on the above
named date, but had never reached home.
searching party returned to the scene
and found watch, knife, boots and
clothes which were identified hv the
brother. and two human hip joints. The
suppoSition is that the horse became
fatigGed, whereupon Bauman unsaddled
him 10 walk the rest of the journey, be-
ing but three miles, but under piefciup
cold he gave up and was frozen to DEATH
The body WAS eaten by coyotes. He was
aged about 81 years and married man.

there had been no recurrence of coma.
The physicians held long consultation

the following statement: Springer

yesterday. His mind appears TO be clear
ing mp and the periods of coma are less
frequent. lie takes nourishment well to-
day, and another very good indication of
improvement is that he is more sensitive
to external impressions and sounds than
he has been since his illness assumed a
serious stage. This shows he is return
ing gradually to his normal condition.
The erysipelas to-day is nearly stopped
spreading and there are indications in
some places that it is beginning to disap-
pear. The fact that its progress is checked
IS splendid indication. His vitality, of
course, is still very low"

CHICAGO, March 7.-One of the most
extensive raids organized by the Chicago
Police Department in years was made
this afternoon, when Chief of Detectives
Shea and twenty-five officers surrounded
the premises 267 and 269 Clark street and
placed $50 men under arrest. The estab
Ishment was a fulE-fedged poolroom,
run by Frank Shaw of st. Paul, Sid Nc
HE and other alleged members of the
Chicago gamblers trust. Books were be-
ing made on the Gloucester and Gutten
berg races, and a rushing business was
in progress. The scheme worked was
that the bettor ostensibly sent dispatch
through the Mercantile Telegraph Com
pany to st. Paul. where the bet was sup
posed to be consummated. This alleged
interstate arrangement the proprietors
professed to believe left no room for
prosecution under the Illinois anti-pool-
selling law. The police evidently thought
different, and the spectators were hauled
in patrol wagons TO the armory, where
they were bailed out by the proprietor,

meeting of the Cabinet to-day, even if
one had been contemplated. The situa-

General Foster of the State Department
who is assisting Secretary Blaine in nego-

with the President on the situation this
morning, and subsequently conferred
with Blaine at his home. Later Sir Julian

to-day Sir stafford Northcote called the
attention of the House to the state of the
defenses at Esquimalt, on Vancouver
Island. lie spoke particularly of steps
taken to secure the completion of the
works required for the protection of the
harbor. Stanhope, Secretary of State for
War, agreed with the statement made by
N0rthcote. In the course OF his remarks
he said the importance OF Esquimalt WAS
enormously increased during the past
few years. The place, he declared. should
be defended, and he greatly regretted the
defenses were not yet completed The
Government was anxious that Esauimalt
should be fortified, and it was willing to
spend its money 10 bring about that re-
suit. Northcote had pretaced his re-
marks on the defenses of ESqGimaIt with
a motion that steps at once be taken to
complete the works. When the motion
was put to vote 1t was defeated without
division.
