 Manager Bunnell Has offared the Fly
 perion.
 The arrangemuts are progressing very rapidly for the entertainment to be given by the Second Company, Cover nor's Foot Guard, in commemoration of the Battle of Bunker Hill at the Fly perlon the first week in June. It was first decided to give the tableaux at the armory, but Manager Bunnell with his usual kindness offered the Hyperion stage for the occasion.
 The entertainment will consist of a series of historical tableaux vivants, including scenes of the Colonial, Revo- lutionary and Civil wars, together with d series of marble group pictures and portraits of men and women famous in town and state history. Battle pie lures by Chapel, the government painter, whose canvases are familiar to every visitor at the Capitol and our own Trumbull, whose treasures are in the Yale Art gallery, will be liberally represented. In order that the pie lures may be historically accurate the Foot Guard have secured artists of eminent ability from New York to come here and have charge of the presenta- tions, and among them is the artist of the Metropolitan Opera house of New York, who comes here by permission of MT. Abbey, and who will be assisted by several well known artists from the National Academy of Design, and Frederick Remington, the famous ar- tist.

THE CONFERENCE STILL EXISTS.
The International Monetary Confer
Cnce HnS Never Beeu DisSnlYcd.

The International Monetary Confer
Cnce Has Never Been Dissolved.
The debate in Congress on the subject of
an international monetary conference shows
that it is not generally understood that the
last monetary conference has never been
formally dissolved, and that the commits
sion on the part of the United States to
that conference is really still in existence.
The United States commissioners were ap-
pointed by President Harrison November
10, 1893. The conference met at Brussels
on November % of that year. and on De-
cember II following adjourned to May 80.
1893. The United States delegates made a
report to Congress of the proceedings of
the conference, after which, April IS,
1893. all of them rendered their resigna-
tions to President Cleveland. This was
just after the change of administration.
The President requested them to continue
to serve, and laid particular stress upon
their qualifications to represent this gov
ernment at such conference on account
of their experience and familiarity with
prior proceedings. The original conference
had assembled at "a special invitation of the
United States and when it adjourned it
was with the understanding that it would
reconvene at the convenience of this gov
ernnent. Shortly before the Both of May,
lS!'3, 1t was decided, at the instance of the
American delegates, to postpone the meet
ing until November of that year, in the
nope that meanwhile congress would re-
peal the Sherman silver purchase act of
1880. Since then no official notices have
emanated from the President or other Of
fcers of the conference, and it has been
allowed to die slowly of inanition. Some
authorities hold that the conference never
having been formally dissolved is still in
existence and can be reconvened by its
president whenever the countries repre-
sented therein indicate a desire for such
action. The fact that an effort is being
made to induce Congress to authorize an.
other American commission would seem to
indicate belief that the last commission
is officially dead and without power to act
in the event of another International con-
ference.
