THE MONrrARY CoNrEnrNcH.

1elleR Thinks England Would Accept
Reasonable Extension Of silver.
WASHINGTON CITY, Morch 17.-Senator
Teller, who has already given notice of his
intention TO take steps to cause the inter-
national monetary conference to be recon-
vened at Brussels, was today asked for his
opinion respecting tho declaration of the
chancellor of the exchequer yesterday
that the British delegates would b In
structed to oppose every bi-metallic scheme
presented at the conference. The senator
said this declaration meant that
Great Britain would absolutely op-
pose the free coinage of silver on terms Of
equality with gold: that 10 what she has
always done. and nobody expected her to
do any more at this time.
But he thought there WAS nothing In
this position irreconcilable with the At
tainment of the object Of the conference,
namely. the extended use of silver as q
money metal. and in fact there was evil
dence to show that Great Britain really
desired to do something in that direction.
Her fnanciers realized the necessity for
some measure, something to prevent the
further depreciation of silver, which, if
continued, must result in the total destruc-
tion Of the present monetary system. If
that occurred the future of silver would
be assured. but nobody wished to adopt
such heroic measure to achieve the de-
sired result. He had no doubt that Eng
land would be willing to support any rea-
sonable proposition that would be more
practicable that the Rothschlld scheme.

SAN Francisco, March 1.-THE state
menrs made in dispatch from New York
to the effect that the new warship Monte
rey is useless for sea-going purposes owing
to serious defects in her boilers, is declared
by naval officers present at the trial, and
by the builders to be entirely untrue The
officials of the Union Iron Works state
that the Monterey was run under full
head of steam for three days in succession
dating from December 19. to test all parts
of the machinery. and then for full four
hours run was made and it was found
that all the steam could not be used, so =
change was made in the pitch of her pro-
pellers and the valves were readjusted by
permission Of the navy department. After
stopped by . fog before the trial was con-
Guided. The final trial run was then made
and during the first two hours. the horse
power developed exceeded that required
by the contract, and during the last two
hours Of the run the steam would not hold
up in the Ward boilers, which made the
average for the run less than the contract.
This is the first instance in which Ward
boilers have been used in any American
warship. They were furnished by the
ROSeTnmeuts ana tho builders OF the
Monterey had no knowledge of them nor
were they consulted in regard to them.
They were erected and placed in the ship
by Mr.. Ward in person on behalf of the
government. As to any defect in the
Scotch boilers. the statement Is declared
to be absolutely wrong. Engineer Tice. of
the navy. wasin the engine room all the
time of the trial and knows exactly how
tho boilers behaved. Chief Engineer
George F. Kutz. OF the naval board, went
personally through the boilers and de-
clares that they were in perfect condition.
The government now holds $3.50. $50
under the eleventh clause of the contract
to guard against any defect being dis
covered after the trial. and could hold this
if any such defect had been discovered.
As further denial that any defect was
developed on the trial, it is shown that on
the day after the final speed run. the
vessel was sent out on . maneuvering
trial and the propellers repeatedly ran up
to 140 revolutions It is contended that
the Monterey is as perfect . specimen in
effectiveness in all respects a. there 10 in
the American navy today.
