THE NEWS N WASHINGTON.


\ Conference Held ItetwOOn Mr., Clove'
land and Secretary Carlsle-Tho sltua'
tIon Critical,
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 26.-Tho
President, Secretary Carlisle and the
financial officers OF tho government
generally received their first authentic
news of the startling action OF
the government OF India in sus'
pending silver coinage through the
press dispatches, There had been ru-
mOrs on the subject earlier in the day,
but they were passed upon rs Tumors
only, though their substantial accuracy
was not doubted
When the reports OF Mr.. Gladstone's
announcement in the house OF commons
and Lord Kimborley's statement in the
house OF lords were received the gravity
oil the situation became at onco appaT-
ent. Mr.. Carlisle Immediately wont
over to tho white house and ior nearly
two houra discussed tho bearings OF this
action with the President without
reaching any positive conclusion as to q
limo OF action to be adopted.
The conference was renewed at tho
Presidents suburban residence latOr in
the evening, and was protracted into
the night. The circumstances are re'
gardGd rs too serious TO permit OF any
authentic expression Of opinion as to
the future policy OF the United States
until all the facts arc fully digestod.
This much, however, can b0 stated with
absolute confidence, that the action OF
India in closing tho India mints to tho
free coinage OF silver is regarded by tho
United States as doing away with the
necessity for reConvening the intNrna-
tional monetary conference, which was
to have mot again in Brussels this fall.
1t is not believed that this action was
taken without express orders from the
English government, which has genOr-
al supervision and Coutrol over Indian
affairs.
The highest price evor attained by
silver in the United Statea was at tho
time OF tho passage OF the Bland silver
bill. February, 1S7S,whon the price was
81 - per ounce. Tho silver dollar was
then worth ninGty.thrOe cents. At no
period aince thon has tho silver dollar
been worth so much When the Sher-
man act went into effect, August, 1890,
there was squirt in tho price Of silver
and it went up to 81 % per ounce.
In the time between the passage Of
the bill and law in 1878 and the passage
OF tho Sherman law in 1890, silver went
to " cents per ounce, which was n
maximum price during that period.
Since August, 1890, tho price has gradu-
ally declined with fluctuations until
June 20, 1893. to-day, it has reached the
lowest point on record. At to.days
price OF 70 cents per tino ounce, the
silver dollar is worth 60! cents as
bullion.
Treasury officials opposed to tho froe
coinage Of silver, while admitting that
this radical action by India will tom.
porarily result to hor disadvantage,
believe that with rich soil and 2j0,.
100000 people fairly productive, after
tho reaction is over, India will recover
from the shock.
