New York, June 1.-The ministers of
many and the Kingdoms of Belgium and
Holland have sent cables to the World
stating the position of those countries in
regard to an international money con-
ference. The Worlds question to the
ministers was:
The editor of the New York World
begs to inquire of your excellency whath-
er you are in favor of another interna-
tional monetary conference. There IS, as
you know, most intense excitement
throughout the United States as TO the
possibility Of a restoration of the bimet-
allism standard by international agree
ment. What is the sentiment of your
country on the silver question:
The cablegrams of the various minis
tiers are given in full below:

regard to the treatment of the silver

chancellors explanation in the reichstag
at the session of February 10 and in the
Prussian upper house at the sitting on
May 16 of this year.
(Signed.) COUNT Won POSADOWSKI
Imperial Secretary of State for the I'M
perial Treasury.
These explanations. it VIII be remem-
bered. were in favor of an international
conference.
Madrid, June 1.-The Liberal party had

New York, June 1.-The World, to-
morrow, will publish a Geographic poll
of the next Congress as far as OBJ
tanned on the silver, tariff and income
tax. The World sums up the result as
follows:
In a general way, it may be said
that out of 116 members who gave
unequivocal answers to the silver
question, So are in favor of free
coinage, A favor bimetallism gener-
ally, with the proviso Of an fnterna-
tional agreement. Only II can be
fairly classed as favoring a sim
gle gold standard, and the attitude of
some of these even is not definite. The
south and far western states are al
most unanimous for free coinage, the
central states lean toward silver with
International bimetallic qualifications
and it is only in New York, New Eng
land and adjacent eastern states that
there are any avoWedly gold standard
men
In regard to the tariff only IS mem
bers are against any change, while 80
favor moderate changes and 50 are
few are free traders. The moderate
are chiefly those who think changes
will be necessary in order to increase
revenues.
The income tax question brought out
many sharp and piquant answers.
Forty-nine congressman say they IA
vor the principle of the tax. Forty
seven oppose it. A great many evaded
the question or failed to answer it.
A few details by states will be in
teresting. Alabama, Arkansas, Cali
fornia, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Mis-
sissippi, Montana, Nevada, North Car
Dina, South Carolina, South Dakota,
Virginia, Washington and Wyoming
are solid for silver so far as heard
from. The bimetallists are chiefly in
Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mich gan,
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio.
Pennsylvania and West Virginia. New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Massachusetts and
Vermont have the gold delegation.
Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, the Caro-
linas, Georgia, Louisiana and most of
the other southern states are solid for
the income tax. New York and the
east generally oppose it. Elsewhere
the division is nearly even.

New York. June 1.-Instead OF abat-
ing, the torridity which came upon
the city Thursday increased today, and
to this discomfort was added a greater
degree of humidity than had prevailed
during the two preceding days. There
was a difference of about degrees in
the readings of signal Office thermome-
tiers in the tower of the tall Manhattan
buildings and instruments on the
street level. so that when at noon the
official record was 81 degrees the tenn
perature on the street was SO, and
when. at o'clock the signal officer
reported "a degrees, people on the
streets were confronted with the
figures 104.
There was brisk shower about 4:30
p. m, accompanied by lightning and
thunder, but this brought no relief
from the heat.
Tonight, up to II o'clock has been
hot and close. Numerous prostrations
are reported. some Of which are likely
to result fatally. The forecast is for
continued higher temperature.

SHERMAN TALKS BACK.
SAYS HILL HAS ONLY DISPLAYED
HIS IGNORANCE.
Is Evident He That David b. Never
Read the Speech He So Severely
Attacked.

Cincinnati. June 1.-The Commercial Ga
zette's special from Mansfield, says:
Senator Sherman, in reply to a. query
tonight, as to whether he had read Sena-
tor Hills criticism of his GAINESVILLE
speech, said that he had. but that Senator
Hills remarks would indicate that he had
not read the speech.
'.At all the conventions in Ohio" said
the senator, I'VE have declared we are in
favor of the use Of both gold and silver
maintained at par with each other. We
buy the silver at it's market value and
coin it at the legal ratio, but we maintain
it by receiving it and paying 1t out as the
equivalent of gold.''
lis there anything in this to degrade
our dollar standards, as Senator Hill
says?"
lit does not degrade it. The whole OF
our policy is to maintain the two metals
at par with each other.
What about Senator Hills sarcastic
reference to our silver dollars and green
back dollars being exportable?
MIR. Hill only displays his ignorance
when he says our silver money and all
other forms of money are not receivable
in England at the value we put upon
them, because we receive 1t and they can
send It back on the steamer at a trifiirs
cost, and can use it in payment instead
of gold They can present silver certifi-
Gates, and we receive them the same as
gold in payment of duties and other du-
ties If we refuse to accept them on u
parity with all other money we would be
on the standard of silver.

WANT A HOLY WAR

London, June 1.-The Daily News has
an editorial this morning, commenting
upon the recent incidents at Jiddah,
Moosh and Beyrout, involving assaults
upon representatives of the Christian
powers of the Mohammedan residents.
The editorial says: 1T is not too much
to say that there are many signs OF 4
holy war against all Christian COM
munities and all Christian rights what
ever in the Turkish empire. The pow
ers represented on the Armenian COM
mission cannot possibly mistake its
character. Armenia was probably
never nearer the complete and maj
