ATTRACTING MUCH ATTENTION.
The Bi-MetslHc Conference in London
Closely watched Here.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 4.-The In
ternational bi-metalllc congress in Eng
land continues to be the subject OF
much favorable comment at the Capitol.
Senators aud representatives, who as
sisted 10 the repeal Of the Sherman act,
ta&e even greater interest In 1t than
those who resisted repeal and express
themselves very freely as ia hearty SYM
patty with the movement. Senator
Hill was found among others TO be very
willing 10 express his opinion upon the
movement in England, in the interest Of
bi-metallism as indicated by the confer.
ence. He said:
II Joined in the dispatch to the BIZ
metallists Of England because l de-
sired 70 encourage them in their earn
est efforts TO promote the cause OF
double standard. Tie best interests of
the world would be Subserved by
making gold and silver the standard Of
all countries. The best thinkers, the
best writer's, the best statesmen and
the best fnanciers are gradually but
surely realizing the fact that a single
standard OF gold means the impoverish-
ment OF the people everywhere. AIDE
quats relief from present conditions
is essential. II the present admins
tratlOn does not shape its ruling in that
directiO, the people will select one
that will. Bl-metallsm either by in
ternational agreement or Independently
if necessary is TO be the great issue OF
the future"
Senator Allen, who was a member OF
the last International monetary confer
ence, said OF the present movement:
The conference in London is sig
nificant as respects its mem bership and
as respects the strong utteranceS favor
ing the full use Of silver as money. 1t
shows the growth of public opinion In
Europe In favor of the international use
of silver as money Of full legal tender. 5"
Senator voorhees, says Of the confer
ence:
ut is a step in the right direction. 1t
shows that the idea is alive and COM
handing great respect. Ii indicates
that the nations will not consent to the
continued diSuSe Of silver as money and
points TO the restoration of free coin
age II silver should continue TO be de-
MED its rights as money metal II will be
at the behest of the money power the
world over and at the expense Of the
aboring and producing classes"
The financial leaders Of the House
expressed hearty approval Of the cable
sent By Senators TO the Lord Mayor Of
London. Representative Bland author
lied the following statement concern
ing the bi-metalic conference at Lon
don:
Il have never considered an interna-
tioual agreement of sufficient import
ance TO delay action By our own govern
ment. l think we are able TO maintain
our own system OF bi-metallism. The
efforts toward an international agree
'ment in the past have been used as a
pretext for delay. 1 have no doubt,
however, that the present movement Of
the European countries is in good faith,
and may lead to results. But that is
too remote to warrant delay on our part

party OF Charleston young ladies is
forming to make trip 10 Webster
Springs on foot. They propose TO go
by rail as far as the mouth OF Gauley
and then strike out through the Gauley
country and walk the whole distance OF
seventy miles to Webster Springs, where
they will spend the summer. The par
ents OF some OF these young ladies SER
iously object to their travelling in that
manner through the country, but the
young ladies hope to convince the old
folks that tramping through the coun-
try is all the rage this year and that no
other mode of travel would be consider
ed strictly cup to the times" They will
carry firearms, and woe TO the highway
man who dares to modest them. They
expect to reach Webster Springs within
ten DAYS after the start is made, travel
ing seven miles day. Arrangements
will be made for lodging IN the farm
houses each night on the trip. The
novelty of Tho idea Of an army OF
young ladies travelling on foot through
the country is attracting as much at
tention as the Coxey Commonwealers.
