LoNDoN.-In the House of Commons
Robert l.. Everett (LiberaD asked that
the House, in view of the fact that bill
for the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of "a to had been introduced in the
Senate of the United States, declare that
the time was opportune for Great Britain
and the United States to establish a
durable par basis for gold and silver.
Mr.. Gladstone replied that the bill re-
ferred to by Mr.. Everett in no way repre-
sented the views of the United States
government TIE introduction, therefore,
could not form suitable opportunity for
communication with the American gov
ernment apart from the question whether
the passage of such bill by the Congress
of the United States would justify the
opening of communication with that
country.
