woLcoTT's EUROPEAN NOTES
Silver Sentiment Strong, but No
Hope From That Quarter.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator VOL
colt of Colorado, who recently returned
from Europe, gave his views today on
the silver and foreign affairs discus
sion. He said:
IAN international committee of the
European bimetallic leagues, including
Mr.. Allard, Belgian delegate to the
Brussels conference, and leading BIZ
metalists from England, Australia,
Germany and France, held an impor-
tant conference recently in Paris and
| had several interviews with it's mem
bers. We have little idea in this
country of the increasing feeling
throughout England and the continent
in favor of recognition of silver. There
is hardly an intelligent land owner in
Europe who is not bimetalist. There
were two important results of the
meeting at Paris. A plan for an iden-
teal resolution on the importance of
International agreement to be intro
duced in the English Parliament, the
French Assembly and the German
Reichstag was agreed upon. Another
important result was the establishment
OF cordial and closer relations between
the bimetalist associations of the Diff
ferent countries of Europe, notably
between France and Germany. And
the reception accorded the committee
by the President of the French Republic
was, from foreign point of view
important and significant. The states
men of France an the manager of the
Bank of France are bimetalists and
public opinion favors bimetalism. The
Paris newspapers, however with one
or two exceptions, controlled by pri-
vate moneyed interests, are gold mono
metalists.
while bimetallsts abroad are active
ly at work, 1t must nevertheless be ad-
mitted that the prospect of any action
Is not favorable. In Germany. where
there has been much hope, the banking
element, aroused by the possibility Of
action by the Reichstag, is expending
much effort In favor of the single gold
standard, and its influence Is naturally
widely felt. Whoever invites this
country to await European agreement
before opening up our minis to silver.
offers no hope of definite relief.
'As to the Venezuelan manifesto
every country in Europe, republican
France included, viewed the Presidents
message and Mr.. Olney's letter to Lord
Salisbury, published in full In the
London Times, with amazement. The
truculent threats of the Administration
were not taken seriously except in
England, but were viewed as campaign
politics. 1t would be difficult to con-
vince Europe that this country was
anxious to intervene in a Central
American boundary dispute to the ex-
tent of going to war with a nation of
our own civilization, blood, language
and religion, in behalf of non-contigu-
Gus American States, whose republics
are usually military despotisms with
an average duration of a few months,
concerning questions which can never
vitality affect our own integrity or in
dependence"
