LONDON, August 10.
The bimetallbi question seems about
to come to the fore. Hitherto the Ger
man governments action has not been
regarded here as serious attempt to
| deal with the question. but as only In
tended to quiet the demands of the
| Agrarlan party in Germany. on the
| other hand the Associated Press Is In
formed of the bimetallic league in Lon
don that adylces which have been re-
| ceived here leave no room for doubt
ifhat there Is genuine desire to pro-
mote an international conference which
would not be merely Of a doctrlnal
character, but which would aim at
practical results.
There is no doubt that the London
gold men have been taken aback by
the large number of members Of The
! present British cabinet who are himet-
| ullists. For the same reason the BIZ
| metallic league Is greatly elnted, ana

gold standard men have very little
fear of the present agitation.
MIR. Brown, the chief partner In the
well known banking firm of Brown
Shipley y Co., and one OF the most
prominent supporters OF the gold
league, said he did not think that the
increase IN the numbers In parliament
pledged to bimctallism would seriously
affect Great Britain's policy in the cur
rency question. Continuing, Mr..
Brown said there was little likelihood
of Great Brltain's attitude swerving
from that displayed at the Brussels
| conference.
The main features OF the world OF
politics during the past week have been
the massacre at ku Cheng, Mr. Glad
stones speech on Armenia, the cele-
bration OF the victories OF the Germans
during the war Of 1901 against France
and Mr. Justin McCarthy's appeal for
harmony among the Irish members of
