LONDON. May 3.-At this mornings ses-
sion of the international bimetallic confer
etce at the Mansion House, Sir VIM. H.
Hoalsworth. who was the delegate Of Great
Britain at the monetary conference at
BRUSSELS read a paper on THE Effects
Upon Agriculturists. Manufacturers, Wage
earners. Merchants, Bankers and Investors
OF the Fall In the General Level Of Prices"
NJ. Thery,e one Of the French delegates,
then warmly. urged the establishment of an
international bimetallic league.
The proposal was cordially supported, and
it IS generally believed that 1t will be car
rled 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 creating a sensation in
financial circles. and at the bimetallic con-
ference. 1t is devoted to proving that Lord
L1verpoofs legislation of 1916 was simply a
fraud. the object being to cheat the public
out Of four shillings in each pound troy
weight, OF new coin. and that Lord Liver
pool made that paltry gain, not for himself,
but for the treasury.
Sir Joseph McKenna acquits Lord Liver
pool OF intentional dishonesty, and prefers
TO attribute the fraud to his stupidity
Inc sllverttes claim that when this Is un-
derstood 1t will strongly influence public
opinion In favor OF the re-establishment of
bimetallism,S -

WORK OF HIGHwAYMEN.
Mr.. Edgar Harr Held Up and Robbed
Last Night.


Mr.. Edgar o. Harr. who lives at Capitol
View, ten miles from Washington, had a
desperate struggle last night while return
ing to his home, after leaving the owl
train from: the city. His house is an
eighth of a mile from the railroad station,
and just as he turned around bend in the
road, not over three hundred yards from
his house, two colored men put in an APP
pearance, shouted halt" and grabbed him.
NJ. Harr put up a good defense, and fought
with the men for time. when one of
them fired several shots from a pistol, it
is supposed, to frighten him. as he was
calling for help. The struggle lasted for
five minutes. during which time the high
waymer succeeded in capturing Mr.. Harr' S
peck etbook, containing slO.41 and several
papers.
They then left, running toward the rail-
road. The pocketbook was brought to the
house this morning by young collie dog,
with the papers unmolested, but the money
was gone.
This morning Mr.. Harris horse was run
ming in the pasture with his bride on, and
his saddle was found in a broken condition
on the ground near the stable door, show
ing that the horse had been used, and that
some one had been at the stable during the
night.
There appears to be no clue as to who
the thieves WERE as the night was exceed
ingly dark. and Mr.. Harr states the men
appeared to be total strangers to him.

THE ME-. VERNON BILL.
The Committee Does Not Take Kindly
to Commissioners ANIME ndment.


The report of the Commissioners on the
Washington. Alexandria and Mount Vernon
railway bill, recommending the occupancy
of Z street from 18th to 18th, does not meet
with a great deal of favor i'm the House Dis
trict committee. 1t is urged that to follow
this route will necessitate swinging the
line of tracks into Pennsylvania avenue
south Of the cable tracks at 18th street and
will result in occupying almost the entire
south half of Pennsylvania avenue with
tracks. Moreover the Washington Traction
Company is authorized. by a bill reported
from the committee yesterday, to cross
pennsylvania avenue at 18th street, and
the proposition of the Commissioners, 1t Is
claimed, would bring two electric lines and
one cable line into very promiscuous
tumble at this point
Vice President Reed and Mr.. A. d. An
derson OF the Washington, Alexandria and
Mt Vernon Railway Company talked with
members of the committee today about the
proposed change of plan. They do not de-
sire to come into Pennsylvania avenue at
all and would prefer the original plan of
coming up 18th street and stopping by the
Hotel Randall. They say 1t is not desired
10 run cars at night at this point, IL objec-
ton should be made that the route inter-
1eres with theater-goers.a and as the entrance
to Albaugh's has been removed to Penn
syivania avenue they see no objection to the
route.
II that plan is not adopted by the commit
tee the company would prefer as an 81.
tentative to turn out of 18th at ID street.
thence east to 14th or 18th and back TO q.
me commissioners report will be consid-
ered by the committee during the day md

He Was Jealous,

Howard S. Pryor, young colored man of
good character, who has been working for
the District government for about four
years. was married just after the Christ
mas holidays, and has separated from his
wife twice in that short time His wife is
cook at the house of Mr.. ]. T. Dubois, ex-
consul to Germany. Thomas Sembly col
ored, is butler in the house, and Pryor i'm
AGNES he is on intimate terms with his
Pryor's) wife. This, however, is denied by
both Sembly and the wife. One day last
month Howard took day off from his
work and called to see his wife. In addi-
ton to committing technical assault on
her he threatened her life, and yesterday
he was arrested on a warrant.
Judge Miller heard the testimony in the
case this morning, and imposed a fine OF
$40 or sixty days. In addition to this he
required Pryor to give bonds to keep the
peace.
