cashed in gold by the treasury, what likeli-
hood is there of its being obtained there
What President Cleveland described as the
endless chain which empties the treasury
reserve almost as fast as Il Is re1led con-
tipues, and will continue until the legsla-
ture is persuaded to pass a measure to
reform the currency on a sound basis
There is no present prospect OF It, and
the mere issue of loan has altered MOTH
ing and improved nothing. 1t can at best
be only a temporary respite, and 1t is ut
terly falacious 40 regard 1t as inauguratng
a new era of confidence and activity"
The speaker also warns investors, saying
that the success of the loan does not in the
least improve the position of the United
States, but it admits 1T shows the party of
sound finance is unquestionaby strong.
BIMETALLISTS IN PARLIAMENT.
1t has been heretofore stated by the AS
sociated press that there will be a strong
bimetallc representation in the next Parlia-
ment. The committee now numbers 125

will certainly come before Parliament during

Mr.. Howard Vincent. NJ. p, secretary of
a memorial to the marquis of Salisbury, ask
ing that steps be taken to obtain the re-
lease from the articles of foreign treaties
which preclude preferential treatment of
British goods from the colonies. He dwelt
upon the fact that recent events have
shown that Great Britain must look to the
resources of the empire, including wheat
and -four which would be withheld by her
foreign rivals in time Of war.
The cabinet proceeded to Osborn today
for the approval and signing of the queens
speech
But little editorial notice has been taken
Of the speech which the United States am
bassador, Mr.. Bayard, made on Thursday
evening last at the annual dinner of st.
Johns Foundation school, at the Hotel Metro
pole, though it was reported at length. The
st. James Gazette however, discussing Mr..
Bayards utterances upon that occasion, re-
marked: Whatever his own people may
think Of Mr.. Bayard, England will cordially
recognize the splendid way in which he Is
working heart and soul for good relations
between the two nations. Unfortunately we
feel that the better he speaks Of England
the worse do many of his countrymen think
Of him and u.s.
Vanity Fair supports the attitude of the
st. James Gazette toward Lord Dunraven
and says: Lord Dunraven made charges
he was unable to prove, and he ought to
climb down. The New York Yacht club has
been very kind to him, giving him every
chance of retiring from false position, and
it now remains for Lord Dunraven to show
the kind Of man he is.
"Why the Americans generally, however,
make so much of what is really little more
than man-to-man dispate, is incompre-
hensible. 1t seems the great American ma
ton, like the individual American, is too
ready to take offense. The New York Yacht
club has not only shown Lord Dunraven an
example, but it has shown an example in
moderation to the Whole Of the United
States" W
BRITISH NAVAL PROGRAM.
According to statement widely pub
lished, the coming naval program will in
yole the outlay of SAT 0000 600 and will pro-
vide for the building of four ironclads, four
frst-class cruisers, six third-class cruisers
and sixty torpedo destroyers, the latter to
have a speed of from thirty to thirty-three
knots. The battleships are to be similar to the
Renown in type, but they are to have rather
more beam and to be longer. The Renown
carries four ten-inch twenty-nine ton guns,
ten six-inch quick firers, eight twelve
pound quick frers, and twelve three-pound
quick firers. She has a number of torpedo
tubes. and has an estimated speed of eight
cen knots.
1t was stated today that, contrary to pre-
yious reports Sir John Millais has agreed
to accept the presidency of the Royal acad-
emy until the end Of the year, and that Val
Princep, who has been looked upon as the
successor of Lord Leighton, may then sue
ceed Sir John Millas. The change of plans
is said to be due to the fact that the throat
affection from which Sir John has been suffer-
ing now shows improvement enough to JUS
t!fy him in assuming the presidency.
Advices from Biarritz say that Mr.. Glad
stone has been enjoying perfect health. He
goes to Cannes on Monday. Mr.. Gladstone
has been engaged daily in literary work.
There has been nothing eventful in theat-
rical circles the past week, but business has
