BUFFALO, n. V, Mrrch 17.-"Fight

reporter tonight, "why, my dear boy,
there is not a place on the face of the

of at this place long enough to drink a
case Of wine at his brother-in-law's,
Peter Forestol's place, and eat sump-

the clerk handed him a telegram. IL
was from the valet of his friend, Squire

surely dying. Three physicians at con-
sultation over him. You mad better

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 17.-Sen-
ator Teller, who has already given no.
tice OF his intention TO take steps TO
cause the international monetary con-
ference 70 reconvene at Brussels, was
to-day asked for his opinion respecting
the declaration Of the Chancellor OF the
ExcheQuer in the House Of Commons
Yesterday that the British delegates
would be instructed 10 oppose every
bi-metallist scheme presented at the
conference, The Senator said the de-
claratiOn meant that Great Britain
would absolutely oppose free coinage OF
silver on terms of equality with gold.
That was what she had always done
and nobody expected her TO do any
more at this time. But there was moth
ing in this position irrecOnciliable with
the attainment of the object Of the
conference; namely the extended use of
silver as a money metal. In fact there
was evidence 70 show that Great
Britain really desire to do something in
that direction. Her fnanciers realize
the necessity for some palliative meas

depreciation OF silver which il continued

assured, but nobody wished to adopt
such heroic measure to achieve the
desired result. He had no doubt that
England would be willing to support q
reasonable proposition that was more
practicable than the ROthschild scheme.

Americans have less cause to fear that
the disease will be brought over again
from Germany this year than last. We
are doing all we can TO make 1t impos-
sible for 1t to break out at Hamburg
and other cities which were devastated
last autumn. At Hamburg we are
building new water works, and these
will soon be completed. The city water
will be taken from a point much higher
up the Elbe than il has been. Exam
ination has disclosed the fact that the
water there is pure and contains no
germs Of disease. Care will be taken
that 1t In no way becomes infected, and
after its arrival in the city IL will be
subjected to a filtering process which
