LONDON, May 3.-At this morning s
session of the interI itional bimetallic
conference at the Mansion house, Sir
VIM. H. Houldsworth, who was the dele
gate of Great Britain at the monetary
conference at Brussels, read paper on
"The effects upon agriculturists, manu-
facturers, wage-earners, merchants,
bankers and investors of the fall in the
general level of prices"
NJ Thery, one of the French delegates,
warmly urged the establishment of an
international bimetallic league. The
proposal was cordially supported and it
is generally believed that it will be car
ried into effect.
A pamphlet upon the silver question
has just been published by sir Joseph
Mckenna, ex-directOr of the National
Bank of Ireland. The pamphlet is Gre
ating a sensation in financial circles and
at the bi-metallic conference. II is de-
voted to proving that Lord Liverpool's
Legislation of 1916 was simply fraud;
the object being to cheat the public out
of four shillings in each pound troy
weight of new coin.
It is added that Lord Liverpool made
that paltry gain not for himself, but for
the treasury. Sir Joseph McKenna
acquits Lord Liverpool of intentional dis
honesty, and prefers to attribute the
fraud to his stupidity.
The silverites claim that when this is
understood, it will strongly influence
public sentiment in favor of the re- estab-
Hshntent of bimetallisn.

A Suggestion From New York.

NEW YORK, May 3.-Of the. 81, ,5OO, 600
gold taken to Europe by the Augusta
Victoria today, $1,47O,O 900 came from the
sub-treasury. The drain upon the reserve
IN the U. s. treasury has led to a
suggestion that the banks of this city re-
deem some of its $32, 100000 clearing
house certificates which they now hold,
and furnish the gold exporters with the
specie they require.

HERE GOES THE GOLD
In Spite OF the Bond Issue the Trouble
Reappears-

WASHINGTON, May 3. = Disquieting
news was received at the treasury today
from New York concerning gold expor-
tations.
Rates of foreign exchange continue
high and firm and in consequence large
shipments are looked for. The reports
are that at least 5000, 900 will be with
drawn for shipment from New York next
Saturday with the probability that this
amount will be greatly increased.
These shipments alone will reduce the
gold reserve to about $92, 900, ,OOO OF
course, the gold Withdrawn does not
diminish our cash resources.
On the contrary, as United States and
treasury notes are given in exchange for
the gold, each withdrawal adds so much
TO the treasury available cash balance.

WILL BE NO LAWLESSNESS
Mr.. Harrison Says Redress of Wrongs
That Way Won't BE Tolerated.


CINCINNATI, May 3. = Ex-President
Harrison. who had been invited TO ad-
dress the chamber of commerce was met
with cheers when introduced. He beganby
saying that ordinarily he would hesitate
to interrupt members in their daily busi-
ness, but presumed there was less force
in that now as they were perhaps not so
busy as they wished to be.
He believed in wealth, energy, enter
prise and wisdom of the American people
would bring redress to the present
depression. He would not point out the
method but would say that SO far as re-
lief can be secured outside of personal
and individual administration of busi-
ness the only pathway of help was that
which led to the ballot box.
No man and no association of men
counseling the redress of wrongs by
lawlessness will be tolerated by the peo-
pie and right thinking, patriotic people
of all parties will unite to sustain the
administration, from constable to presi-
dent in the support of the law.
