Gladstone Gives His Views Regarding
ID Standards of Value.
e1London, Feb, 2S.-Sir Henry Megsey
Thompson, liberal unionist member OF
parliament, moved in the house of COM
mons today, that the British govern
ment should use its influence to bring
about a reassembling of the interna-
tional monetary conference with the
object of finding remedy for the evils
attendant upon the divergence of val
ues between gold and silver.
Gladstone in reply, reminded the
house that the international monetary
conference met at the initiative of the
United States, and that it would be an
unprecedented proceeding now to de-
prive America of the initiative. In the
opinion of the government, no plan had
yet been proposed that showed that 1t
was possible to change the standard Of
value In Great Britain. Gladstone made
an elaborate exposition of the benefits
of monometallsm and the dangers of
bttnetallism,
Sir w. M. Harcourt, chancellor of eX-
checquer, declared that the failure of
the conference was due to the absence
of all definite proposals. The British
government would be happy to send
back delegates. The motion was re-
jected by a vote of 229 to lat.

Chicago, Feb. 2S.-The lives of seven
people were instantly crushed out in
their sleep early this morning, one

more dangerously. Shortly after mid
night a heavy wind sprang up, increas-
ing almost to hurricane At Hol-
stead and 10th streetcs, stood the walls
of John York's dry goods house, recent
ly gutted by fire, Part of the walls
were left standing and on these the
proprietor began to rebuild. The walls,
which reached the height of five sto-

braced, gave way before the tornado
and fell with a deafening crash at
about half past one this morning, on

pied as a dwelling by the family of
