Nineteenth Annual Meeting of tn,
Organization.


The nineteenth annual meeting of the
American Bar Association, which formally
began this morning in the Convention Hall

its history. This body, representing every
state and territory in the United States,
will continue in session three days, and
will conclude with banquet Friday night.
The auxiliary sections Of legal education
and patent will hold sessions on the same
days. The fact that Lord Russell, chief
Justice Of England, and other distinguished
members of the British bar will be guests
of the association, and will take a promi
nent part in the proceedings, attaches to
the meeting international Importance. Lord
Russell speaks tomorrow on international
Arbitration" =.
Lord Russell, Sir Francis Lockwood, Mon-
tague Crackenthorpe and the other men,
bers of the British party reached Saratoga
last evening, and at once proceeded to the
United States Hotel, where parlor suites
had been reserved for them.
The Grand Union Hotel Club parlors, as
signed to the use Of the association for re-
ception purposes, have been the center of
their arrival. Secretaries John Hinkley Of
Baltimore, Nd, of the association, and
George NJ. Sharp, also of Baltimore, of the
section Of legal education, and their asso-
ciates established themselves there early in
the day. They arranged the necessary de-

THROWING OUT OUR SILVER,

Canadian People Follow the Example
of the Banks and Refuse to Take L..
From the New York world
MONTREAL, Que. August IL, 1S9G.-As
surely as the new day comes Just so sure
ly is the fact becoming apparent through
out Canada that Canadian people are
afraid to accept American silver coin be-
cause they fear they cannot again place 1t
on the market at its face value.
The movement against American silver
is about three months old, but during the
last two weeks the banks have decided not
to accept even bills, except at a ten per
cent discount. The first to take decisive
steps was the Bankers Association of
Montreal, which discussed the question at
length and sent n delegation TO interview
the minister of finance at Ottawa and get
his opinion. The election fight was, how
ever, on, and he put them off.
Shortly after this the Bank of Montreal
refused absolutely TO take the American
coin. This was about three months ago.
A month later the Grand Trunk and Ca
madam Pacific railways came out with a
similar announcement, and two weeks ago
the Montreal Street Railway Company,
which had daily turned over about 81 go
in American halves, quarters and dimes.
put up a notice In the cars absolutely to
accept no United States coin.
All the banks have, since the Bank of
Montreal! took the initiative, Joined what is
now evidently combination, and not a
dollars worth of United States silver could
be passed through Canadian bank today
were 1t worth its weight I'm gold. The ac-
ton of the banks and large corporations
has caused mild panic among those who
have the silver, for since the edict has
gone out not a tradesman of any descrip-
ton win look at the coins, and even the
saloonkeepers, who two weeks ago were
glad to get them, now refuse them
At one or two of the better class hotels
where Americans stay the order is not so
binding but, with this exception, the city
has shut out the coin most effectively
even to the extent of refusing il at athletic
games, where formerly anything, even
leaden quarters, could be passed
The board OF trade of almost every lit
tie town, particularly in eastern Canada,
has followed the lead of ST. Hyacinthe
and resolutions exceedingly strong in their
condemnation of the silver issue at the
coming American presidential election are
quite common, these being followed by the
words And II Is. therefore, in the inter-
ests of the Canadian people that We de-
clare against American silver, and urge
upon all the necessity of absolutely re-
fusing to accept IT in payment in place
of sound money"
To sum the matter up. in Montreal the
bankers have as much Canadian silver as
they can handle, to say nothing of the
American, ana ii was to their interest to
keep the latter from the country. They
have succeeded to a degree that was never
thought TO have been possible.
