SENATOR SQUIRE SERENELY HOPEFUL.

HE SAYS THERE is GOOD CHANCE OF AN INTER
NATIONAL AGREEMENT on SILVER
Senator Watson c. Squire. of Washington, was at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday Senator Squire
looked healthy and rudy and the golden tan on his
cheek almost put to blush his bright silver IDEAS
relative TO the free ana unlimited coinage OF the
white metal at the ratio of l6 to /. He has been
down at Sulphur Springs. Va. resting, and he is
now on his way to Washington to look after his
political fences Senator Squire said in speaking OF
the attitude OF the silver men over the country:
THE hope OF the silver element in this country
for the establishment and maintenance or parity
between the two metals by an international agree
ment appears to be nearer contamination To-day
than at any time in the past The elections in Eng
land which recently took place have shown that
there is some hope for the establishment OF ratio
by international agreement. You 90 nof near AZ

you did some time ago. That Is not because the
sentiment has died out 1t Is as strong as ever.
and will be NANTES; at election time. The reason
is that revivng business has stiled the tax Peo-
pie now have other things TO think about but the
same feeling still remains.
In speaking of Presidential possibilities, Senator
Squire said concerning Mr.. Clevelands third term
chances: Il heard scarcely any talk whatever In
the South about third term do not think that
Mr. Cleveland has any chance Of a getting re-
nomination. As for the Republicans. see that ex-

Is very probable that Mr.. Dupont, over whose cleo

Senator Squire said that he had not been In the
State OF Washington for some time, and that any
thing he would say about the Industrial prospects
was only hearsay He understood. however that
the State WAS In for OF great prosperity ana
that the crops would be excellent. This. he said,
would insure good business for the railroads and
manufacturers, and so all would derive benefit.
