lions Regarding White Metal.
LONDON, Aug. 14.-In the commons to-
day Robert Everett asked the house, in
view of the bill for the free coinage OF
silver at ratio of q TO l introduced in
the Senate of the United States, TO de-
clare the time opportune for Great Britain
and the United States to establish para
bic par basis for gold and silver.
Gladstone replied that the bill referred
to in no way represented the views Of the
United States government and its intro
duction therefore could not form a suita-
bic opportunity for communication with
4 the American government apart from
Rtbe question whether the passage of such
bill by Congress would justify the open
ing Of communication.

THE SILVER DEBATE.
Republicans in the House Will Refuse to
Participate.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Leading Re
publicans OF the House announce their
intention of taking little or no part IN the
silver debate, on the ground that they
were refused chance to amend the order
regulating debate. They declare that if
they did not believe in free silver, or no
silver, which were the only two alterna-
tives possible in the Bland order and were
the only two possible solutions of the sit
uation. They would nave been glad to
have secured a vote on another PROPOSE
ton which they believed would go farther
than any other to meet and relieve the
necessities of the financial situation. In
view of this they do not feel called upon
TO take part in the debate. 1t is doubtful,
however, if they can hold to the pro-
gramme outlined.

No New Cases Are Reported in PEN
sacola.

PENSACOLA, Fla, August a.
The state health officer OF Florida, to-
day announced that an investigation OF
the cases Of Rev. c. Waite and Ellen
Wood, who were reported to have died OF
yellow fever in Pensacola on the
9Th of August, shows nothing
in the case of Waite to Justify
the diagnosis of yellow fever. In
case of the child Ellen Wood, opinion is
given that while the record does moi
give clear history of yellow fever, yet il
contains sufficient evidence to justify the
statement that the case was suspicious.
A house to house inspection within the

any suspicious nature among residents OF
the city.

THE CURRENCY SITUATION.
Comptroller Eckels Thinks 1t Has Con-
siderably Improved.

slderabty 1mpfoVeu,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Comptroller
Eckels thinks that our currency situation
will be considerably improved this week
by money sinking to its normal value.
The premium paid for use of currency is
dragging money from its hiding places,
and during the coming week more cur
rency will be issued on bonds deposited
by banks than in the same period of time
for many years. The currency was in
creased by this method during July S.
600, 600, and more than this amount has
been issued already ip August. When to
this the $40 ,00O, 200 gold from abroad are
added, there is certainly strong grounds
to hope for relief.
