oERMANY's POSITION.
The preponderance Of opinion among
public men who have given attention to
the progress of the German movement
for an international conference looking
to the rehabilitation of silver is that the
chances for such conference in the
near future are very slim. There are
few left who believe that such q confer
ence will be held this year and many
express the opinion that it will be post
poned indefinitely. The action of the
German Federal governments, which
is reported TO have been adverse
to the bimetallic movement. is the prin
cipal basis for this opinion, but some
profess to see back Of this action on
the part Of those governments still
more significant circumstance. Chan
cellor Hohenlohe is known to be OPP
posed to the silver movement and the
most that he ever promised Count Mir
bach and others who have been pres
sing upon the German government the
propriety of Germany taking the ini-
ative in calling the conference was that |
he would consider the question in con-
nection with the different state govern
ments of the empire, and now that these
appear TO have spoken against silver it |
is intimated that the Chancellor prob
ably had a shrewd idea of the probable
result and adopt it as political device
TO avoid assuming direct responsibility
on question on which he could count
upon the support of only portion of
upon which the country at
large is not united and upon which
also the Emperor has made no declara-
ton. Hence the belief that unless the
German bimetallists can succeed in
arousing the direct interest of Emperor
William they will find it necessary to
give up the project of securing interna-
Honal action through a conference
called by that government.
