INDIANAPOLIS Dec 30.-rhe American

of the leading tn mixers Of the country.
held it's second session In this city. with
over l0c members I'm attendance. Among
those present were: Professor John S.
CT rk. Columbia college. New York; Gen.
eral a. j. Warner, president of the Amer
lean Banetallic league and K. w. Bemis,
%. & ncayo. The principal feature Of the
.rdings was the discussion of the
practiciDility and desirabilIty of bime-
il.,ls.n rs IL relates To commercial transac.
tons The debate attracted great deal
of interest.
Professor Farnham, OF Yale, in his dis.
cussion OF the subject, held that, In view of
changes i'm the production Of the two met
ais the expedient of the government exer-
cising an influence on the prices Of the
two metals Is futile. Professor Taussig
held that, considering all the circum-
stances the sound policy now to be pur-
sued in relation TO the international use OF
gold and silver is a waiting policy. The
only possible sound policy for the civilized
countries Of the west at present, he said,
Is to maintain the gold standard. Gen.
eral Warner, Of the Bimetallic league, de-
Tended the theory of bimetallism in a
well-received address.
The addresses as a whole showed that
the educators Of the east, without excep-
ton, are gold advocates, while those Of the
west are in favor OF bimetallism. Pro-
fessor Clark. who is president of the as
ISOLATION, has expressed himself as OPP
posed to the stand taken by the United
States in the Venezuela negotiations, while
among the other members there seems to
be division of sentiment.

Gradually, however, all gave way to the
bells, which persistently rang out their
iron-tongued welcome to the new year,
