INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE.
MT. Balfour's Declaration Has Not Stopped the
 Movement in Germany

Berlin Aug A-rhe leaders of the German Bmetallc league, although to a considerable degree discouraged by the declaration of MT. Balfour in the British house of commons that he had no right to pledge his colleagues in the ministry to a policy favorable to the converting of another International monetary confer ence. refuse to regard the British leaders statement as final in deciding the action of Great Britain in the matter. Com- munications which have been received from the British Bimetallic league rep resent Mir. Balfour as willing to assist in bringing about a conference, but he is represented as being desirous before placing the question before the cabinet of being enabeld to present 10 his col leagues a feasible basis of discusslon'
 If the German, French and English bimctaliists can formulate proposals of the character mentioned, proposals such as would induce Chancellor Hohenionc to carry out his promise to take the m itiative in the calling of conference, the English government, 1t is represented in these communications, will not re- fuse to join in it's deliberations. The at titlide taken by MT. Balfour is simply the position assumed by his predecessor m the leadership of the house of commons. Sir William Hareourt. with the addition tnat MT. 13dHOuT SyIhDdtHiSco "''i '' stead of opposing bimetallism.
 The single standard organs, on the other hand, assume that the chances Tor the assembling of monetary conference have been definitely saueched. The Ma .ional Zeitung declares that the bimetal- lie soap-bubble has burst and preuicts that the federal government will decline to consider the subject further Nelther will the bundesrath waste time in de- libe ations over the matter. The fact ls' however, that immediately after the ter imitation of the vacation the bundesrath, whlc'i, possibly is already In possession of of,eial documents on the subject from all the federal states, will proceed in an attempt to draft proposals in regard to a conference. Prince Hohenlohe's latest response to requests for conference from the leaders of the bimetallic move ment give no indication of an intention on the part of the chancellor to depart from his pledge to endeavor to find some com mon ground which will justify him in ob- .aining the cooperation of all govern nents interested in common monetary ret

 With Olre Results.

Paris, Aug. 24.-A heavy letter ad- dressed to Baron Alphonse Rothschild was delivered at the barons office this afternoon during his absence at Trou- vile.

To Property Owners:
 Owing to the high quality Of the sherwin- Williams compaDy's paint we have found it difficult to build up a profitable trade in these goods. The whole trouble is, the goods arc too high priced for the average cons lmer. The result is, we have a stock of several hundred gallons that is selling too slow, and in order 10 push them we will sell to any bona fide properly owner or agent for use only upon his own property at $1.35 per gallon, provided we have the colors selected in stock. No speculation allowed. These prices do not apply to colors we have 10 order from factory.

our Quarantine regulations.

our quarantine regulations are not sat
isfactory to our shipping interests. There
is no doubt that they are obstructive to
our commerce. 1t is contended that they
are much more stringent than the quar-
antine regulations at any other South
Atlantic port or at any gulf port. Is this
contention well founded? If it is our san
itary board ought at once consider the
advisability of modifying our regulations
to such an extent as TO put our port on
a footing with rival ports in the matter
of quarantine. There does not appear to
be any reason why we should insist upon
regulations that are more stringent than
those of rival ports, and it is certain that
we shall drive our commerce to those
ports if we put obstacles which they Go
not have in the way of commerce.
We are sure the Sanitary board is in
fiuenced by the best of motives. 1t con-
siders it to be its duty to take every pos
sible precaution to preserve the health of
the city. We think every reasonable pre-
caution should be taken, but is there not
danger Of insisting upon precautions that
are not necessary
The matter of our quarantine regula-
lions will come up for consideration at a
meeting of the committees of the trades
bodies, appointed yesterday, and the san
itary board and the whole matter should
be discussed thoroughly. The first con
sideration should be the city's health.
without which the city can have no pros
perity, but all the freedom consistent with
a proper regard for the health of the ,ity
should be granted commerce.

He Lost Fish, Tackle ana Keys.

1t is good maxim, says Blackwood's
Magazine, to have patience with weeded
fish; indeed, this virtue often stands the
angler in good stead. l once knew friend
of mine put TO serious inconvenience for
want of 1t. He had hooked a heavy sal
mon, and this fish lay down and sulked,
as salmon will do once in half dozen
seasons, though not nearly SO often if
properly handled, as some people suppose.
My friend was good fisher, and allowed
his fish to take no liberties; nevertheless,
this salmon lay down in a deep, black
pool. Every known expedient was tried
to stir him; stones were thrown in, with
the only result that the fish took leisure
ly turns and returned to his stronghold.
The angler got below him, above him,
alongside of him, and pulled on him to
the limit of the strength of his tackle
all to no purpose. A fine afternoon was
ebbing away, and fish in the river We're
on the job What was to be done.
A bright thought occurred to the sports
man. He had a bunch of keys in his
pocket-the keys of all his most sacred
repositories. They were on a ring that
opened on hinge. Fitting this round the
butt of his rod, without having the pa
tience to remove the keys, he ran it down
over the point, and the whole bunch went
rafting down and lodged on the salmon's
nose. 1t had a splendid effect Away went
the fish like a dog with a tin Kettle at it's
from the reel, and then-there came dis
aster. The point of the rod flew up; the
fish was gone; back came the flies, but
back did not come the keys Thirty sec
onds would have sufficed to remove the
keys before using the ring; fish and ring
might indeed, have been lost, but the
keys would have been safe.
