NO OFFICIAL NOTICE
OF England's Refusal to Participate in the Mon
etary Conference Received.

London, Oct 1S.+The United States
monetary commissioners have received
no official information regarding the ac-
tion taken by the British cabinet on
Saturday last. Private advices, how
ever, convince them that the cabinet
has dealt the death blow to their mis-
sion. 1t is expected the commissioners
will shortly be informed that her majes-
tvs government regrets being unable
to accede to their proposals, but is will
ing to listen to any other plan they sug-
gest. Both parties to the conference
know that no other practical scheme
can be advanced. In the event of the
expected reply being received the United
States commissioners will return to the
United States. The commissioners be-
lieve that their failure means that no
further effort in behalf of bimetallism
will be made for many years to come.
They attribute their failure to the oppo-
sition of the bankers and of the London
Times Until these forces were aroused
all signs pointed to the cooperation of
the British government.
