WASHINGTON, March 14.-Senator Tel
Ter has prepared resolution, which he
will offer in the senate at the next
meeting expressing the sense of the
senate in favor of reconvening the in
trrnational monetary conference at
BRUSSELS next summer. Senator Teller
saws he is sure there has been change
of sentiment in Europe respecting
the monetary question since the confer
cncc adjourned. He finds evidence of
this change in debates in parliament
and in contributions to the leading
financial papers in the world. 1t is
plain to him that delegates from Euro
pean countries began the conference I'M
der an erroneous impression as to the
policy of the United States. Lately it
had been made clear that the purpose
of this country was not primarily to
reap the benefit of an enhanced price
for silver, and recent contributions to
literature on the subject, notably an
article published by Prof. Andrews,
have made it appear that the value of
the entire annual silver product is abso-
lutely insignificant as compared with
the value of the products of certain
lines of manufactures and agriculture.
The resolution which Mr.. Teller pro-
poses to offer would not be exceptional
under the practice touching propositions
which the senate is likely to follow, and
The senator expects to include the mat
ter referred to as part of his remarks
upon the subject.
