INTERNATIONAL MONEY
To Be Considered by the Senate After
the Holidays

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26-It is the ex-
pectation Of the friends of the movement
for an International monetary confer
ence that the question will be taken up
in the senate soon after the holidays,
though it may be considered first in a
Republican caucus.
The committee, which was appointed
by the caucus, to draft measure, has
the matter under consideration and Sen
ator Wolcott, chairman of the caucus
committee, has prepared a draft of a
bill. which, if it is not accepted asa
whole, will probably be used as the basis
Of whatever action is agreed upon.
The tendency among the members of
che committee is to leave the section
and number of conferees to the discre-
ton of the president.
An appropriation will be provided for
carrying the action into effect. The
members of the committee generally
hold that Mr.. Mckinley will require only
the means to proceed with to cause him
to use his utmost efforts to secure an
international agreement.

general indications that the war on
American products in Germany is to be
prosecuted with fresh vigor. United
States Consul Womer at Cologne, in a
report to the state department, says:

United States government that all meat
products for export are subjected to
strict examination, the interminable
agitation in Germany against the
wholesomeness of these products still
goes on. At recent meeting of the
Agricultural association of the district
of Cologne the subject of adulterating
German sausage with American dis
eased beef was discussed. One speaker
drew special attention to the fact that
beef was examined for maggots in Ger
many, but not so in America.
A chemist said the American beef was
no so profusely infested with maggots,
that it came to Germany prepared with
borax in an astonishing manner On
the exterior of the meat there was, he
asserted, a complete crust of borax and
the meat was actually picked with it,

the report of the special board which in
