WASHINGTON, d. c., May ?e.-Cspe-
cial.)-The latest Indications are that
Senator Daniel will not make his con-
templated European trip this year as
member OF what at one time seemed a
proposed monetary conference. in which
representatives Of most OF the leading
nations would participate. The news
from across the Atlantic is clearer than
ever that the British statesmen are de-
termlned TO prevent the conference, and
the prevailing opinion In Washington
among men from all portions Of the
United States is that nothing can be
accomplished in the direction first pointed
out by some OF the German statesmen.
John Bull wants the gold standard main
tanned. and will have It at any cost. All
the cablegrams from London show that
Great Britain will resist, and the con-
ference will not be held. Not one silver
advocate In ten has believed that any
thing could be accomplished, and Cor
that reason the silver people have bsen
In favor Of fighting the issue to finish
in this country.
The news from the Ohio Republican
convention has given additional interest
to the money question here. and the
speech Of shrewd old Senator Sherman,
in which he shouts for bimetallism. and
practically advises his party 10 straddle
the question, so as 70 hold the free-cOln-
age men In his party, has created mors
talk here than any sentiment expressed
by a leader since Monday morning, when
Senator Morgan proceeded IN a lengthy
interview to attack the position Of Presi-
dent Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle.
CRISP AND WALSH.
Along with all this commotion comes
a brief card from eX-Speaker Crisp. IN
which he defines clearly his own position.
| and unequivocally declares himself 10 be
| I'm favor OF the free and unlimited coinage
| Of silver at a ratio OF 16 10 /. Just after
that big interview with the ex-Speakcr.
| ex-senator Patrick Walsh. OF Georgia.
WAS here on his way to New York, and
| even he was not positive just where Mr..
| Crisp stood.
Senator Walsh Is for free silver himself.
| and he has repeatedly during hts recent
visits to Washington made special inquiry
as TO how the people OF Virginia and
| North Carolina stand on the question.
| Those whom he has met from the two
| States gave the information. as a rule,
| that the free-colnage sentiment Is very
strong and is growing daily.
| DEMOCRATIC ASSOCIATION.
The members OF the Virginia Democratic
| Association are reasonably certain &C
have a large attendance next Tuesday
| when they take a day off and go &C
Marshall Hall for a good time As pr.
| viously stated in this correspondence
Hon. James w. Marshall and Tazewcu
| Elicit will be the chief speakers. ana
| there will be short speeches by other we'll
| known Nirginians
The special Invitations issued were me-
| cessarly limited. Governor O'Ferrall has
sent his regrets, az II win be impossible
for him TO attend Senator Martin writes
that he hopes to be present. and the COM
mittee have reason 10 believe that Sena-
tor Daniel will attend. Speaker John
f. Ryan. OF Loudoun. and State Senator
Little. Of Fredericksburg; ex-senator Wal
| ton Moore, OF Fairfax, and others. have
| accepted the Invitations.
The speeches promise To be very en-
! tertaining. and there will probably be
some lively references 20 the currency
! question.
