GERSIANY's BIMETALLIsTs.
Great Satisfaction with the Action
of the ChanceIIOF.

Oh the
Berlin, Feb. SIN the Reichstag to-day
Prince Hohenlohe, the imperial chancel-
lor, made the admission that the vacilla-
tions in the price of silver has somewhat
injured the trade of Germany. As the in
vitation of the government to the federal
states to express an opinion in regard
to the proposed monetary conference has
had a negative result, he said, the Bun
desrath had declined to give its approval
to the summOning of a conference. IT,
however, sound basis should be present.
ed later he would reconsider the matter
and take such steps in the direction OF
holding conference as were possible un-
der the circumstances.
This announcemnt has altogether failed
to satisfy the bimetallists in the Reich
stag and the chancellOr's statement has
been the subject of d good deal of com
ment and discussion within the precincts
for the chamber. The talk which it has
occasioned in the lobbies has disclosed the
fact that one cause Of discomfort is the
governments desire to get the powers in
dependent of England to join in the pro-
posed conference.
Prince Hohenlohe's other statement that
the Bundesrath had disapprOved the pro-
posal to issue invitations TO the powers
to join in conference because the pour
parlers with England had proven abortive
is held to be very insufficient reason for
the cessation of overtures in the direc-
ton of a conference to the other powers.
Inasmuch as the opposition of England TO
q AAAOAlCAdA NOAltiNiiNt 10 OGNHACA 1SA SetLii5
the bimetallists are convinced that the
whole action of Prince Hohenlohe in the
matter has been a mere evasion. If the
chancellor had been really in earnest in
fulfilling his pledge he would, the bimetal-
lists assert, have pushed the question to
a decision by all of the states comprising
the Latin monetary union and relied upon
them for adhesion with America to get
the question of international currency
again discussed.
The sum of the truth is that Prince
Hohenlohe has never mooted the ques-
tiOn of a monetary conference to the
powers beyond sounding England upon
the subject.
Count Won Mrbach, the leader of bi-
metallists in the Reichstag, has just is
sued a prOnunciamento in which he de-
clares that if the system of bimetallic
will ultimately be obliged to resort to eX-
elusive free coinage of silver. The docu-
ment then proceeds to predict that this
viii make imports into America from
gold currency countries in Europe impoS-
sible and also secure for American eX-
ports premiums Of nearly 50 per cent, Sc
cure the parity of American currency
with that of the silver paying countries
and thus obtain for the United States a
monopoly of the dealings with those coun-
tries.
outside of the circle of the bimetallists,
Count Won Mirbachs opinion in the mat
a whole, is in sympathy with bimetallism
and is disappointed with the chancellor's s
statement, majority of the deputies be-
ing of the belief that Prince Hohenlohe
ought to have made a more genuine ef-
fort to bring about a conference.

themselves about one hour later. Two

Chattanooga, Tenn, Feb. S-A special
from Stevenson, Jackson county, Ala.
says that d. w. Boyer, the patricide who
forged letters and recommendation to
Gov Turney and secured his own par
don from the Tennessee penitentiary, was
arrested to-day in Memphis. Tenn, on
information furnished by the sheriff of
jackson county. Boyer was sentenced to
life imprisonment from Cooke county,
Tennessee, where he is also under indict-
ment for forging a deed to his fathers
farm. He hoped by the murder of his
father to come into possession Of the
home place. HIS release from state $
prison was effected Jan. 9, 1896, but no re-
ward was offered for his capture until a
few days since The people of Cooke

tion for pardon, were furious at his es-
cape, for the crime was a most diaboli-
cal one. The fugitive has been hiding
near Coffey's store in Jackson county,
Ala, and his hiding place was discovered
only recently through letters passing be-
tween his relatives living in the two
states. Boyer was supposed to have an
accomplice outside the prison walls in
