BIMErALLIssr IN ENGLAND.
a Resolution on the subject Adopted
by the House of Commons.

London, March lin the House OF
Commons to-day Herbert Whitley moved
a resolution declaring that the House was
of the opinion that the Instability Of the
relative value of gold and silver since the
action OF the Latin union in 1873 has prov
ed injurious to the best interests OF the
country and urging the government to do
everything possible to secure by interna-
tional agreement a stable monetary par
of exchange between gold and silver.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach. chancellor of
the exchequer, reminded the House of the
passage of a resolution at the last session
urging the government to cooperate with
the other powers in a conference aiming
TO remove the evils arising from the huc-
tuations in gold and silver. The present
government did not wish TO recede from
that resolution. The government was
willing to enter into negotiations with the
powers for a conferences, but on the un-
derstanding that it was not prepared TO
abandon the gold standard in the United
Kingdom. (Cries of Hear, Hear.D Some
of his COLLEAGUES. notably the first lord
of the treasury CMr. Ialtourl were pro-
nounced bi-metallists, but all agreed in
in departing from goid standard in the
United Kingdom. The prospects of an
agreement between the European nations
in favor of bi-metallism were not great.
There was no doubt, II the powers could
agree regarding the use OF silver, that the
Indian government would reconsider the
question OF Ie-OpenllE us minus. All lue
leading English monetary experts held
that the wealth of the country had been
built up on a gold standard and that its
permanence and prosperity were depen-
dent upon the existing system In view
of that opinion no responsible govern
ment would propose to change present
conditions.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt formerly
chancellor of the exchequer, and now op-
position leader in the House. said he well
coined the declaration of Sir Michael
Hicks-Bea that the government did not
intend to depart from the established
monetary system. 1t was not creditable TO
England, he added, that until now doubt
had existed as to the views of the govern
ment on this question. This ought to be
the last appearance of the bimetallists in
parliament.
The Right Hon. A. j. Balfour, first lord
of the treasury, followed Sir William and
made a somewhat lengthy defense of his
known views as a bimetallist.
The resolution was then adopted without
division being taken

JANIEsON's RAID.
Stores Along the Way Show That II
Had Long Been Planned.

London, March 1.-THE examination of
Dr. jameson and his fellow officers in
the Transvaal raid was resumed in the
Bow street police court this morning.
Sergt. Ruck, who took part in the raid
was called to the witness box and de-
scribed the progress of the expedition
into the BOer country.
Several troopers who took part in the
fight with the Beers at Krugersdorp were
called to the witness box and narrated
their experiences, the facts of which
have already been published
The lawyers for the prosecution laid
great stress upon admissions made by
the witnesses that stores, relays of horses
arms, ammunition, etc, awaited the
jameson expedition at various points on
the road converging upon Mafeking,
showing that the raid had long been
planned and was not due to the johann
nesburg committees letter, which was
read after the expedition arrived at Kru-
gersdorp.
Several witnesses testified on behalf of
the government that they acted in the
capacity of messengers. When they
found that the wires had been cut behind
DIR. Jameson'S party so that they could
not be communicated with the witnesses
were obliged to pursue the party on horse
back. They overlook DR.. Jameson and
tried in vain to induce him to return.
The hearing was adjourned for week.

an amendment fixing the number of bat
tleships at six. The first vote was taken
on the amendment and 1t was defeated

cast by Messrs. Hanley of Indiana, Cum
mings of New York, Meyer of Louisiana,

ships was then carried unanimously.

ments supporting his identity and some of
his charges.
He earnestly warns all American work.

Manager West of the Western Union
Telegraph Company had a very thorough
inspection of the race track wire made Sat
urday night by two experienced and care
full linemen. Nothing suspicious was found.
Sunday and yesterday every foot of wire
was carefully inspccrgd and not a sign
could be found OF its having been tam
pered with. While there was no doubt that
the operators at the race track were gull
ty, the Western Union management made
the inspection so there could be no reason
to say that the operators had been ad-
judged guilty on slender evidences. Both
the operators were discharged, as Mr..
West concluded after carefully consider
ing all the circumstances that they both
had knowledge of the scheme Neither of
them will admit anything but in the Sc
