PHILADELPHIA, July 31-It has been de-

appointed to investigate the charges of
municipal corruption in Philadelphia will
open it's sessions the second week in All

Association has been actively engaged
in securing material for the use of the
committee and has also secured by pri-
waite effort a. fund of $4,000 which will
be turned over to the committee to be
used as necessity may require. The APP

is causing good deal of quaking of sto-
machs on the part of some prominent
politicians likely to be affected or impli-
Gated by the investigation.

Protest Against Paying the Mora Clain
by That Government.
Madrid. July 31.-Republican and Carl
list senators and deputies have addressed
a protest to the government against tho
payment of the Mora claim without the
sanction of the cortes. The protest de-
clares the governments precipitancy in
settling the claim Is Unconstitutional and
humiliating and the conduct Of the Unit
ed States in taking advantage Of the Gu
ban insurrection to press this claim is an
exhibition Of an unfriendly disposition.
The government has decided to pay the
Mora claim In three installments. It s.
the intention afterwafd to induce the
United States to recognize Spanish claims
for damages to property in Florida Of
Spanish citizens incurred during the civil
war.

SILVER ON THE RISE.
A Result of the Belief That England
Will Join the Bimetallic Confer

ence.
NEW YORK, March 29.-The advance in
silver in the open market in London today
has been followed by corresponding rise
in bar silver here which has led to in
creased strength and activity in silver GER
tificates. The official price of silver is
fixed at p. m. daily in London, at meet
ing Of bullion dealers. and this rate stands
as official, Notwithstanding what operations
may have been made prior to subse-
Quent to the official announcement. The
price is thus fixed in order to enable pro-
ducers and shelters to form a basis for
operations. Today's advance in the price
of silver is attributed to growing belief
that England will consent to join the BIZ
metallic conference, which now has assur-
ances of representation from the United
States, France and Germany 1t is said
that Spain is in the market buyer of
bullion, in connection with the Cuban in
surrection. Bar silver closed quoted at
293sd bid per ounce.
The United States has not yet given any
assurance. other than that contained in
the passage OF the Wolcott resolution by
congress Of it's readiness to participate in
another monetary conference, the chief
reason, perhaps, being that yet it has
not been invited to such a gathering
There has been considerable discussion as
to the attitude of the administration in
the matter of a conference and assertions
have been made that the president was
not at all anxious to have one held. This,
there is good authority for saying, is not
the position of the administration at all.
On the contrary, there is declared to be a
desire to have conference if there is any
prospect of obtaining results 1t is prob
able that some expression of fear that
there was not at present much prospect of
anything being done by a conference has
been construed to mean that the admins
tration was not in favor of any such gath
ering.
