NOT LIKELY TO GO
The Delegates to the Proposed 1nterna'
tional Monetary Conference
The President Not Expected to APP
point Any Delegates or Commits
sion Those Already Named.

In regard to the point that delegates from
the United States to an international bi-
metallic conference could not be commits
stoned under the Wolcott amendment un-
less the call when made should provide for
a conference for the establishment Of free
coinage, it is recalled that in outlining the
purpose of the proposed conference the
language Of the present law Is the same as
that under which the Brussels conference
of 1892 was held, and that while the first
instructions of this government to it's dele
gates in that- conference were to secure
free coinage if possible, they were author
lied to use their own Judgment in large
measure, and that, failing to secure in
ternat;onal bimetallism," they were advis-
ed by the then Secretary of State, Hon.
John w. Foster: 1.-The next important
duty will be TO secure, if possible, some
action upon the part of European countries
looking to larger use of silver as cur
rency, in order to put an end to the fur
ther depreciation of that metal"
The fact is net overlooked, however, that
the Brussels conference was held upon the
call Of the United States, while it is not
contemplated that the one now proposed
shall be called at the instance of this coun-
try.
There are some public men here who do
not believe that any conference will be
called. Judge Holman is among those who
hold this opinion. He said today that the
movement would amount to nothing, and
expressed the opinion that there would be
no call for meeting, and therefore no ap-
pointment of delegates by the President.
An Unlikely Story.
There was story current today that in
case the President should decide not to
complete the commission provided for in
the sundry civil bill, the delegates ap-
pointed by the Senate and House could at
tend the conference regardless of his ac-
ton. but this appears to be based upon the
House appointees, who alone could be ade-
quate authority for such a statement, are
in the city. Judge Cuberson, one of the
House delegates, remained In the city un-
til today, but his friends say that he has
never contemplated attendance upon any
conference that might be called indepen-
IDENTIFY of the action of the President.
They also say for him that the impress
sion which has gone abroad that he was
the mouthpece for the Presidents views
in recent interviews given out by him in
which he expressed belief in the invalidity
of the congressional enactment is entirely
unfounded, and that Mr.. Culberson has
expressed deep regret that such an inter-
his utterances.
lieve that the congressional delegates
would undertake to represent the United
States independently of the President s
action that the law is based upon the
Presidents determination, and that without
action on his part the delegates would
have no official standing at a conference
of the kind contemplated.

Mr.. Warren. the collector of customs at
Boston, is in the city on his way south, and
today had an interview with Assistant Sec
retary Hamlin in regard to certain pending
reforms in the Boston custom house look
ing to more expeditions handling of
importations at that port. The interview
was necessarily brief, as both Mr. Ham,
lin and Mr.. Warren are somewhat indis-
posed. On the latter's return, several mat
tors relating to his office will be taken up
and disposed of. One Of these questions.
it is said, involves the removal of the as
sistant appraiser and one other official, and
limited reorganization of the office Mr..

OPERATIONS IN CUBA.

Foreign Governments Have Sent Mill
tary and Naval Experts.
The military operations in Cuba are, ap-
parently, attracting the attention of for
eign governments, several of them have
sent military and naval experts to the
scene of action. Commandant Clement de
Grandfrey. military attache of the French
embassy at Washington, went to Cuba a
month ago. He will have official entree, as
he carries letters to the captain general of
Cuba and others in authority
In this connection it is being suggested
that it would be well to have the United
States represented by military and naval
experts. Secretary Herbert has detailed
an officer to observe the China-Japan op-
erations. and the heavy reinforcements
Spain is sending to Cuba appear to make
the island a valuable point for military
and naval observation.

WASHINGTON NAVY YARD.
The Force to BE Kept Mt Work Until
September.

1t is proposed to keep the full force at
the Washington navy yard at work so long
as the appropriation will permit. AS al
ready stated in The Star. the decreased ap-
propria tions for the yard will necessitate a
large reduction in the force engaged in the
gun shops. 1t is believed that available
funds will permit the continued employ
ment of the full force up to September l,
and that date has been set by the depart
ment as the date when it will become nee
essary to reduce the force. The entire
force in the gun shops will probably be
furloughed on that date until Congress
provides for the necessary increase of
naval armament to meet growing demands.
