London. June 26.-A favorable inn
preston was produced by President
McKinley's action in appointing a
| special embassy for the historic occa-
sion of the queens jubilee. and Us en-
phasizcd by the distinction with which
il was received Of court and in high
est social circles. All the members OF
the special embassy share in the ex-
ceptiOnal honors and attendance had
by them as the representatives of the
United States. The royalty set the
style. and every reference To America
in the public press Is sympathetic and
appreciativc. The fact is generally
recognized tina, America departed
from her usual half-heartel methods
of diplomatic intercourse with for
eign nations, and has taken her place
with dignity and distinction in the
worlds court Of honor opened in Lon
don for the purpose of congratulating
the queen and empire IN her long and
prosperous reign. Good feeling was
promoted by this exceptional demon
stration OF American courtesy and APP
probation, and the way may have been
opened for the Advancement Of sew
sral questions vitality affecting the
United States. For example. the three
silver ENJOYS, with Wolcott at their
head, will arrive in London next week
after entering upon their work in
Paris under the most favorable circam-
stances. Their main object is TO in
terest tagging European powers in the
question of bimetallism and secure
their consent TO the reassembling of
the monetary conference. The French
government favors the project, and
Germany only awnits the action of
England in order TO fall into line.
The house of commons passed the
academic resolution In favor of bimet-
allism but the ministers divided on the
subject. Balfour is convinced in ia
vor of bimetallism and several Of his
colleagues are OF the same mind. SAL
isbury himself is known II share Bal
four's views although he is more eau
tious and moderate in expressing
them. Chamberlain and others are on
the fence and there is only one pro-
nounced monometallist with eonvic-
tons unclouded by doubt. This is the
chancellor of the exchequer with finan-
cial London behind him. The import

ministers while unable to agree upon
any other point will undoubtedly con
sent TO send delegates 10 the new in
ternational conference. This is stated
with the utmost positiveness. These
delegates, moreover. will not be hide
bound monometallists convinced in adj
vance that nothing can be done for
silver but open minded men ready to
discuss the complex question in all it's
bearings. The reopening Of the Indian
Inints is also probable. Wolcott and
his colleagues in pressing their argu-
ment here for a fresh international
action will have many influences in
their favor and one of the stropgestw will
be the good feeling produced by the
American hearty participation in the
jubilee celebration. Other questions
unsettled between England aud Amer
lea and the event in which the queens
subjects are profoundly interested can
hardly fail TO be helpful in securing
a satisfactory adjustment of them.
