BERLIN AND BrMETALLIsM.
Chances for the Assembling of a
second Monetary Conference.


Berlin. Aug. z4.-The leaders OF the
German Bimetallfc League. although 10 a
considerable degree discouraged by the
declaration Of Mr. Balfour in the British
House Of Commons that he had no right
10 pledge his colleagues in the ministry
TO a policy favorable to the converting Of
another international monetary confer
ence, refuse to regard the British lead
ers statement as final in determining the
action Of Great Britain in the matter
mmunications which have been receiv-
ed from the British Bimetallic League
represent Mr.. Balfour as willing to as
sist in bringing about conference, but
he is also represented as being DESTROYS

cabinet, Of being enabled to present to
his colleagues feasible bases OF discus

such as would induce Chancellor Won Ho-
henlohe to carry out his promise to take
the initiative in the calling Of a confer

The attitude taken by Balfour is simply
the position assumed by ms predecessor
in the leadership Of the House Of Com
mons, Sir William Harcourt, with the
addition that Mr.. Balfour sympathizes
with, instead of opposing bimetslllsm.
The single standard organs, on the
other hand, assume that the chances Of
the assembling Of a monetary confer
ence have been definitely squelched.
The National Zeitung declares that the
bimetallic soap bubble has burst, and
predicts that the federag government
will decline to consider the subject fur
Their, nor will the Bundesrath waste
time in celebrating over the matter.
The fact is, however, mat Immediately
after the termination of the vacation the
Bundesrath, which possibly is already

subject from all the federal states, will
proceed in an attempt to draft proposals

audience. that assembled to witness a
programme of sports. the nature of whica
they were not fully informed in advance.
They saw a genuine bull fight, but they
were not very highly edited or were they
pleased with the spectacle. They probably
admired the nerve Of Manager Waffle, who
pulled off the fight in the face of the sher-
iff and the adjutant general of Colorado,
who strongly opposed it.
Adjt. Gen. Moses made a vigorous pro-
test and was active enough in urging the
sheriff to take a stand, but Sheriff Bow

and did not care to arouse the anger OF
the miners. The audience was not demon

The ferry boat Brownstone was churning
her way leisurely across the Connecticut
to Portland village yesterday, and had
just about reached the middle of the broad
stream when Capt. Rowland espied a big
fish hawk floating far above. and it be-
haved queerly, as if it was in distress. In
termittently it floated TRANQUILITY, its wide
wings outspread and motionless; then it
staggered, but recovered itself instantly
with hitch, then spun about dizzily.
There was no doubt in the captains mind
that the bird was sorely troubled to keep
it's equilibrium and steerage way, and.
glancing now at his boats course and
again at the blue sky continued to watch
the aerial traveller.
THE bird is sick" said the pilot conf
dentially to himself. Things are about up
with it."
The next moment his conviction was
verified for the hawk, which was not less
than 800 feet aloft, suddenly took a violent
dip forward, reeled sideways, let fall its
pinions, and the next instant shot down 10
the river, striking the water with the con-
cussion and impact OF a solid shot. 1t lay
right where IL fell, motionless, and was
carried swiftly southward by the strong
current.
The hawk was dead, without doubt.

Just as Judge Falligant was delivering
his charge to the jury in the Loud case
in the superior court yesterday afternoon,
a commotion was observed at the door
leading into the hall. People swayed
about and it was soon evident that fight
was in progress.
The excitement was catching and the
spectators leaped upon chairs, the at

everyone craned their necks to see the
principles. The judge hastily ordered
those present to take their seats and stern

Resolved, That we, the pupils of the

thanks, ID, to Prof. McBeth, and Prof.
Ellis, for their kind and faithful instruc-

board and the people of Kissimmee for
their hospitality and their many efforts

summer school, regret the action of the
last Legislature in lowering the standard
of education by extending the time of
second and third grade certificates, and
making them reasonable, and in removing
penmanship and bookkeeping from the
course.
Kissimmve was glad to have the teach
ers here, and, hopes to have them again.
There are many sad hearts in Kissimmee
among the boys. They think we should
have nothing but one continuous summer
school, filled up with girls, as this has
been.
The sale of the tropical hotel failed to
go through, and there seems TO be some
doubt whether the owners will effect a
sale in time to get it running this winter.
