senator Stewart FavOrs sibley for
Prestdent-Bryan VIII Reply to
Foreign Situation.

New York, May 24.-In an interview
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, said: II want
to see ex-Congressman Joseph O. Sibley
of Pennsylvania, the next president OF
the United States. He is one of the
ablest men in the country and I do not
know of one more honest. He is almost
too big a man for the presidency. His
mental caliber is too large and his in
stincts too honorable for the White
house."
BRYAN WILL ANSWER CARLISLE.
Memphis.--E Ex Congressman W. j.
Bryan, of Nebraska, arrived here this
morning from Van Buren,, Ark, and was
given cordial reception by the repre-
sentative free silver men. Tonight he
will answer the speech of Secretary Car
Isle before the sound money convention.
He will devote most of his time to COM
parison between Carlisle's present views
on the silver question and those he is
alleged to have held in 1873.
THE FOREIGN SITUATION.
London.-The Berlin correspondent OF
the Times commenting on the debate in
the lower house of the Prussian diet on
the bimetallic question says that the
speeches II tLs disS indicated the com.
plete confusion reigning IN the centrist
party on the bimetallic question. The
Nord Deutsche Allgemine Zeitung declares
there is no sign of accession of support
to the bimetalllc movement.
In discussing the question before the
diet Herr Arendt said the object of the
bimetallists was to raise, and, still more,
to fix the price of silver, but international
regulation of the currency question with
out international bimetalllsm was impos-
sible. Silver must not be INFECTED to
speculation. He only wished for BIZ
metallism in Germany if he could be as
sured that the value of silver could be in
ternationally recognized. The bimetal-
lists had not urged co.action with En-
gland because they were convinced that
serious economic distress would alone
convert England to bimetallism.
The crisis, however, had come. It
could not now be doubted that bimetal-
lism was finally victorious in Eng
land, especially as Mr.. A. ]. Balfour was
bimetallist. They we're, therefore, ready
to make Germany's action dependent
upon the participation of England pro-
vlded the government would Immediately
begin arrangement for international de-
liberations.
The Standards Berlin correspondent
informs that paper that Emperor Will
lam has obtained copies of Hon. A. j.
Balfour's speeches, Archbishop Walsh's
pamphlet and writings and speeches on
the bimetallic question.
s1BLEY AND WARNER.
Pueblo, Colo.-Word has been received
by the chamber of commerce that Messrs.
Sibley, of Pennsylvania, and Warner, of
Ohio, will speak here on the silver ques-
tion next Wednesday evening May 29.
They have been to the Pacific coast since
the previous date set for their addresses
here and will speak at various places in
Colorado.
BosToN's SILVER CLUB.
Boston.-A largely attended meeting of
the Mystic Valley club was held last night
at the Quincy house. President E. B.
Andrews, of Brown university, Provi-
dence, and the Hon. Brooks Adams, of
Quincy, spoke on "Honest Money" Presi-
dent Andrews delivered the principal ad-
dress.
He traced most of the difficulties of the
last two yeals to the great currency
changes made ! 1878. By the diminu-
tion of the amount of fundamental money
through the cutting off of silver regime
of falling prices was inagurated.
What is to be the outcome of tte
present condition of affairs, the speaker
said he cor'd not state; but his convic-
tion was that the old parity should be re-
stored, and the two metals be permitted
to work together in the business world.
