COMMENTING upon the dis
lhissal Of Dr.. Brown from the
presidency of Brown university,
Che Galveston News says:
Ex-President Andrews was
rightly charged with airing his
views in his college connection.
rs a free silver partisan he
made a fatal mistake as an
educator. There seems To be no
qfspsiion thai the mistake was
made BY him.
Had Or. Andrews views been
IN opposition to free silver, had
a. spoken as loudly for the
gold cause, il Is most probable
that TIE News would never have
yecognized his action as mis-
taken. Dr. Andrews cannot be
correctly termed a partisan
rgiiatog" He has only express
ed his siews in terms both dig

take certain specified steps. If
the British government should
accept the offer the acceptance
must be conditioned upon Ger
manys agreement. Germany
will not be approached until it
is found what England will
agree to. and much time must
elapse before a formal confer
ence IS possible. Should Ger
many tacitiy agree to a propo-
sition agreed upon by the
three other countries, then
such a meeting as has been
predicted for next week might
be held
The progress OF the negotia-
tons now going on in London
is being kept profoundly secret,
but it is said that England is
prepared to make a few minor
concessions.
London takes Senator VOL
colt and his bimetallic collea-
CUES more seriously than Paris
did. The French newspapers,
including lie Temps, made
game of them, but the London
journals regards them with
respect.

Report of Meeting at the
Foreign Office Next Week
Not Believed Balfours
Position.


SOB, who. as permanent under
secretary, ranks next to Lord
Salisbury in the foreign Office,
said to the World correspon-
dent:

British government has sub

American bimetallic ENJOYS

that time most of the cabinet
members will be away. Lord
Salisbury might come to Lon
don from Hatfield, but no 20

of the ministers could not be
present.

sion. The Chronicle says after
"authoritatively'' announcing a
meeting for next week-which
Sir Thomas Sanderson says
has not been Called-that most
of the members of the cabinet
viii be present and Lord Sails
bury then is expected to make
knows to President Mckinley s
ehvoys the decision of the
British government on the sub
ject of the proposed extension
of silver.
As cabled two weeks ago,
many important people have
expected that Lord Salisbury
will again make his old offer to
open the Indian minis and to
withdraw the ten shilfings gold
pieces from circulation. The
Statist. the most important
financial publication here, has
inclined to that view, and So
has The Times, quali6edly. The
World correspondent learns on
very nearly the hishest author
ity that all such statements are
without foundation at present.
In connection with the very
grave doubts expressed about
any meeting being held before
September, it may be noted
that Mr.. BaIfour and the rest
of the British government are
firmly of the opinion that it
would harm rather than hep
any practical effort to settle
the monetary question if any
offer were TO be made by
Great Britain before Official
negotiations, privately, France,
Germany and the United
States were prepared to agree
upon steps to effectively re
nonefize silver and to maintain
