IT Will b RECOMMEND.
- The President Decides to Recall
the Monetary Conference.
APPLICANTS FOR OFFICE.
Over One Hundred Desire to be the
, Chiefs of Divisions.
Secretary Carlisle Has Issued Set of
Regulations Regarding appointments
in the Treasury-AppIicants Must
Stand an Examination.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-News that
the president has decided TO reconvene
the international monetary conference at
Brussels on May 30 is received with ap-
probation by senators who have inter-
y ested themselves in the silver question.
\ The impression prevails that the United
States delegation will not be materially
changed in personnel, for the reason that
the delegates, in addition to possessing
thorough mastery of the complex and
abstruse questions involved in the objects
of the conference, have made acquaint-
ance among delegates from other countries
that may insure = more favorable recep-
ton for such proposals as they might put
forward than would be the case among
STRANGERS.
However, this may he, at least one IA
milial figure VIII De missed when the
delegates reassemble, Tor Senator Allison
who discharged the duties OF president Of
the American delegation, has been
Obliged from business considerations to
surrender the idea of carrying forward his
work as a delegate. The senator is not
an extremist, but is hopeful that some
definite agreement viii be reached when
the conference reassembles. He does not
base this hope on indications of any ma
terial change in sentiment in Europe,
but believes agitation OF the silver ques-
ton at the first session of the conference
has awakened popular interest in the
question in England and on the conti-
nent, as evidenced by elaborate discus
sions since taken place and still in pro-
gress through the medium of financial
publications and in general.
Touching the English demand that the
United States delegates come to the con-
ference prepared to submit a definite
proposition, Mr.. Allison says he does not
believe such a course is feasible. The
wishes of the United States were made
clearly apparent at the first session, and
European governments know what we
desire. Between that and what might be
attained there is 2 substantial difference,
+. and out of such condition the issue is a
} compromise. It was too much to expect
of the conference to agree upon free silver
coinage, and, in Senator Allison's opin-
ion, the one feasible basis OF agreement
that really promised to give effect TO the
purpose Of the conference was the retire
ment Of gold from coinage below certain
value. and the natural replacement of this
would be retired by the coinage of silver.

ASSAULTING A KING.
An Attempt on the Life OF king Hum
bert OF Italy.
The Assailant a Religious Fanatic, who
Was Arrested and Taken at
Once to Prison.

ROME, March 25.-The city is in state
of great excitement over an assault made
this evening on King Humbert. The
king was returning from Villa Borghes
when person having the general ap-
pearance of an Italian workingman
threwsa stone at him, the missile almost
striking the monarch. Several persons
rushed upon the assailant and seized him
before he had chance to make another
attempt at violence.
The assailant was promptly taken in
hand by the police and conveyed to prison.
Otherwise he would in all probability
have been killed by the angry multitude.
An immense crowd assembled and oheered
the king with frantic enthusiasm, and all
the way to the palace the scene was like a
triumphal progress.
The assailant, it appears. is a religious
fanatic named Berardi. He has acknowl-
edged since his arrest that his intention
was to insult King Humbert. because the
king declined to be reconciled to the
pope. The police are trying to ascertain
whether he had any accomplices.

BULLET PROOF CLOTH.
A Syndicate Has Acquired Herr DOVE,
Great Invention.

A Syndicate Has Acquired Herr Doves
Great Invention.
BERLIN, March 25.-According to V0s-
siche ZettuRg, a syndicate has acquired
from Herr Dove Manneim the tailor bull
let proof cloth invention which has made
that tailor's name famous everywhere.
Herr Scarned, civil engineer Of Vienna,
claims the invention is a reproduction of
his portable armor, which is patented in
every European country. This armor, it
may be stated, was tested in the presence
of a number of military attaches and re-
ported useless.
Scarned's armor was of knitted hemp
on which was placed layer of COM
pressed cotton. The material was then
subjected to hydraulic pressure and
strengthened with thin steel bands, and
the whole covered with cloth. This
armor was certainly bullet proof, hatten-
ing, as it did, bullets fired at it. It's re-
lection by military authorities was due to
the belief that it could not form part of
soldiers equipment in active service.
Tailor Doves bullet proof cloth is re-
ported to be an improvement on Scarned's
armor and considerably lighter.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
The United States Court of New Orleans
Finds Against strikers.

The United States Court of New Orleans
Finds Against strikers.
New ORLEANS, March 25.-Judge Bill
lings in the United States court this
morning rendered decision in the suit
against the amalgamated council and
various labor organizations which or
dered a strike of all laboring organiza-
lions last November. The suit asked an
Injunction against these bodies under act
of Congress prohibiting combinations in
the restraint of trade.
In an elaborate opinion, far-reaching
in effect, the court declares the acts COM
planned of are unlawful and merchants
are entitled to the Injunction and other
relief The decision fully discusses the
rights OF labor unions.
As a result of the decision, criminal
prosecution against defendants would
probably lie, but it is not known whether
the authorities will proceed further.

No Practical or Thorough Test of Her
Endurance Yet Made.
LEwEs, Del, March %. While bad
weather prevented the cruiser New York
from making a test at length of her pow
ers, there is little doubt that she equalled
if not excelled the government require
ment of maximum speed OF twenty
knots per hour. Though no protracted
and thorough test OF her endurance has
yet been possible owing to logs, she
steamed from Philadelphia to Delaware
Breakwater, distance OF 102 miles, on
the outward passage in less than five
hours. This time includes slow run
down to Marcus Hook.
On the run from five fathom ightship
to the eastern lightship, nine and three
quarter knots, the cruiser occupied 80
minutes in going and q minutes in re-
turning, an average speed of eighteen
knots an hour. The cruiser has evidently
not been run at her highest speed owing
to the thickness of the atmosphere.

Inc Standard Company VIII Hereafter
Control the Russian Business
PITTsBURG, March 25.-It was reported
here today that the Standard oil company,
through Rothschilds, had effected COM
blnation to control the Russian oil bust
ness, the purpose being a division of the
foreign refined oil trade and regulation of
prices in an upward direction. 1t is 4
consummation of this deal that prompted
the Standard to refuse to sell to New York
shippers or brokers any oil whatever and
refuse to quote prices to them. In this
connection the advance of Is points in
New York late yesterday afternoon may
be considered as of special significance.
A New York dispatch says: Daniel
O'Day, of the National Transit company i,
denied that there was any truth in the
dispatch from this city which alleged that
the Rothchilds had succeeded in CONSOLE
dating the various Russian refining COM
panies and interested them in the Stand
ards scheme for control OF the refined oil
market of the world.

The Factions Opposed to His Government
Making Things Warm.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, March 25.-
Another long warfare between President
Hippolyte's government and the factions
opposed to his rule is now threatened.
The insurgents have crossed the Dominion
frontier into Hayti and a battle has al
ready been fought. This new movement is
likely to cause trouble with San Domingo,
and possibly war. Should the present
instruction be quelled q protracted
struggle is the present outlook, owing to
tee mutinous and unsettled condition OF
the country.
The battle is said to have been de-
cisiye one but the result is not stated. As
the news comes from Port Au Prince, the
seat of Hippolyte's government, the in
ference desired to be conveyed is that the
authorities were victorious. This state
ment must be taken with considerable
allowance because more troops are being
hurried to the frontier.
