WASHINGTON, Feb 25.-In the SEN
ate, Immediately after the reading Of
Fridays journal, Mr. Wolcott rep,
Col.) gave notice of an amendment Of
the sundry civil appropriation bill pro-
viding that whenever the presi-
dent of the United States on
the invitation of the govern
ment of Germany or Great Brit
ain, or any of the governments of
Europe, shall determine that the gov
ernment. of the United States shall be
represented at any international or
other conference to be held with
view to secure internationally and to
fix the relative value between gold and
silver as money, by means of a COM
mon ratio between those metals,
with free coinage at such ratio,
he shall be authorized to re-
quire the attendance of nine
commissioners, to be appointed as fol-
lows: Three by the president, by and
with the advice and consent of the
senate; three members of the house of
representatives, and three senators of
the next congress, and appropriating
100000 for the pay and expenses of
the commissioners, and for the share
of the United States in the expenses of
the conference.
It was with much hesitation, Mr..
Wolcott said, and after consultation
with others that the amendment was
offered.
The chief embarrassment had arisen
from the fact that it might have been
construed abroad as indicating an un-
due desire on the part of the United
States that other countries should
enter into some agreement for inter-
national bimetallism. But, inasmuch
as nine months had to elapse be-
tween the adjournment Of this
congress and the meeting of the
next, and inasmuch as the presi-
debt of the United States should be
called upon to act with other nations in
some conference looking to interna-
tional agreement regarding gold and
silver, would be powerless to act, ex-
cept by the appointment of commits
sioners, and would be unable to clothe
them with proper authority or to have
funds for the representation of the
United States or for it's share of the
expenses of the conference, it seemed
wise to offer the amendment now"
The proposition, Mr.. Wolcott thought,
would be satisfactory to the bi-
metallists who voted for bimetallism,
and it should be equally satisfactory to
those bimetallists who professed adhe.
sion to bimetallism, but voted against
it. (Laughter).
The president would naturally, Mr..
Wolcott added, select for the three
commissioners whom he would appoint
men outside of public life. The two
houses would select men best fitted to
act in the matter.
