historic occasion Of the queens Jubilee is en-

sbsra IN the exceptional honors and attentions
Maid 10 them as representatives OF the United
states. Royalty has set the style and every
,eferepoe to America in the public press is SYM
,a,bot,c and appreciative. The fact is generally
rac,rnized that America has departed from her
,,sua, shabby half-hearted methods of diplo-
,,a,ic intercourse with foreign nations, and
taken her place with dignity and distinction in
the worlds court of honor opened in London for
the purpose of congratulating the Queen and
her Empire her long and prosperous reign.
Good feeling has been promoted by this excep-
tional demonstration Of American courtesy and
appreciation. and the way may have been
opened for the adjustment of several questions
vitality affecting the United States. For exam
pie the three silver ENJOYS with Senator VOL
colt ct their head. will arrive in London next
week after entering upon their work in Paris
under the most favorable circumstances. Their
main object is 70 interest the leading European
Powers In the question of bimetallism, and to
secure their consent to reassembling the None
tary Conference. The French Government fa-
vors this project and Germany only awaits the
action of England in order to fall into line.
NEW MONETARY CONFERENCE.
The House of Commons has passed aca-
demic resolution IN favor Of bimetallism, but
the Ministers are divided on the subject. Mr.
Balfour is a convinced bimetallist, and several
Of his colleagues are of the same mind. Lord
Salisbury himself is known 20 share Mr. Bal
fours views. although he is more cautious and
moderate In expressing them. Mr. Chamberlain
and others are on the fence, and there is only
one pronounced monometallist with convictions
uaclouded by doubt. This is the Chancellor of
the Exchequer with financial London behind
him. The important facy, which is well under
stood IN the best circles Of information. is that
the Ministers. while unable TO agree upon any
other point. will undoubtedly consent to send
delegates 10 a new international conference.
This may be stated with the utmos: positive
ness. These delegates. moreover. will not be
kidebound monometallists, convinced in advance
that nothing lie done for silver but open
minded men, ready TO discuss the complex ques-
ton IN all It's bearings. The reopening of the
Indian minis is also probable.
Senator Wolcott and his colleagues, in pres9-
ing their argument here for fresh international
action. will have many influences in their favor
and one of the strongest Will be the good feel
ing produced by American hearty participation
in tho Jubilee celebration. ExSecretary Fos-
ter will also arrive next week from st. Peters
burg, where he IS reported 10 have met with
considerable success in negotiating with the
Cars Government In relation to the pelagic
seal fisheries. His temperance in London will
be premature. since he cannot reasonably hope
TO secure the reopening Of the seal-hsherles
question this year, especially when he has sent
70 the Foreign Office a needcssly aggressive
presentation Of the case
OTHER QUESTIONS MAY BE ADJUSTED.
Other questions are unsettled between Eng
land and America. and the exchange OF good
oflces and Jubilee congratulations over the event
in which the Queens subjects profoundly
interested can hardly fail to be helpful in secur-
ing a satisfactory adjustment OF them.
The Prince and Princess Of Walas. with the
Lord Mayor AMI Lady Mayoress attended three
dinners at which the poor OF London were en-
tertainea. There were hundreds or these ain
ners under the management Of local committees
OF various metropolitan parishes and hospitality
was extended 10 over three hundred thousand
poor guests. The tables were everywhere well
supplied with wholesome food and daintes as
we'll and there was music IN manT instances.
Through Mr.. Lipton'a generosity the Princesss
beautiful project carried out on a royal
scale.
The great social events are the Prince Of
Nales's dinner at Marlborough House and the
evening party at buckingham Palace, TO which
royalties. special ENJOYS. their suites ard the
regular diplomatic corps are invited. AT Wind
sor it has been Admiras' Day, with carnival
scene at night. Ali the foreign admirals. Ad-
,niral Miller among them. with two or three staff
officers. were taken by special train from Spit
head TO Windsor for iuncheon. and were subse-
cuently received by the Queen. I. y. F.
