Bi-Metallism in House of Commons.

Bi-Metallism in House Of Commons.
LoNpoN.-In the House of Commons
Robert L. Everett UiberaD 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 opportuue 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. It's 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.

most obscure Gothamite rarely visits
any one, is an accomplished scholar
and linguist and spends most of his

make George Washington Vanderbilt

handsome, and the daily carriage ride
in Central Park forms the most i'm

He owns numerous blocks of trus,

in various paying corporations. All he
has in the world was inherited from
parents who died some years ago, leav'
ing no child but himself His age, his
habits and his life make him unique

as he is the proprietor of wel-knowr
