BERLIN, June 10.-The imperial cur
rency commission has adjourned, and
its minutes and speeches are in the
hands of the printer. The original in
tcntion of the commissioners was to
keep their proceedings secret, but,
with the governments approval, they
eventually decided to make all the de-
tails public, and thus forestall the false
reports which interested persons might
spread. The commissioners who are
friendly to silver have arranged for a
cheap pamphlet, in which the whole
record of their sittings will be set forth
at great length.
