CONFERENCE OF NO AVAIL.
Agreement on Bimetallism /
Impossible.
The BOYCOTT OF THE BREWERS.
Very Serious Trouble May Grow Out
of the Anglo-COngO Con-
troversy.

BERLIN, June 9.-Herr Ludwig Bam-
berger, an eminent authority upon the
question of bimetallism and a member of
the silver commission. declares after
twenty-one days of earnest discussion tnat
no tangible result had been arrived at,
but the meetings OF the commission have
furnished overw helming proof that in the
future no conference. either national or
international, will arrive al a different re-
suit
According to Herr Bamberger. an IN
derstanding upon bmetallism seems to
him impossible between the different
states of Europe, including England, nor
without England. He says the difference
of the interests of the different countries
precludes any satisfactory agreement.
Referring to the report from Washing
ton that Germany has protested against

a differe ntial duty of one-tenth OF a cent
on sugar imported into the United States
from countries granting bOuntes 20 sugar
growers, and that the German Govern
ment has threatened reprisals against GER
tain American imports, namely, pork, the
NOrd Deutche Zeitung to-day says the reS
port Is false and probably emanates from
Americans interested in the sugar trade
and who are desrous of stirring up
American feeling for the fuTtherance OF
their own selfish designs.

unusually sharp tObe of the speech made
/ by NJ. HanOtaux, the French Minister of

rupture, and says such language render:
