ADVANCING sll.vER's CAUSE.

Monetary CommissiOn of United
States Making Good Progress.
London, June 3O.-The next issue Of
the National Review will contain an
article announcing an important hi
metallic development at the hands OF
the United States monetary commits
sion, consisting of Senator Wolcott,
former Vice President Adlai z. Steven
son and Gen. Charles Jackson Paine,
who will arrive here in few days.
The commission, according to the Ma
tional Review, will present to the Brit
ish government joint statement
from France and the United States de-
claring their intention to determine
the disastrous experiments inaugural
ed in 1873 and claiming our good will
and active concurrence"
The National Review adds:
1--WE are able to announce that Eng
lands reply will be that the government
Is willing to reopen the Indian mlnts to
make further substantial contribution
to the rehabilitation of silver by extending
its use In England and by increasing the
legal tender Of silver, making silver the ba-
Sis OF notes. empowering the Bank OF
England to use its silver reserve. and that
material assistance and strong moral sup
port will be given to the object the United
States and France have In view.'
Washington, June 80. = The cable
gram from London giving the sub
stance of an article to appear In the
National Review to the effect that the
United States monetary commission, of
which Senator Wolcott, Of Colorado, is
the head, had met with gratifying sue
cess In France and stating positively
that England will reopen it's Indian
mints and otherwise contribute to an
extended use of silver was dealt with
interest by government officials.
They had known that the commission
was very cordially received in France
and that the commissioners were great
ly encouraged by the strong and ap-
parently increasing silver sentiment
in that country, as the president not
long since received from Senator VOL
colt letter to this effect. The state
ment that England is ready to join the
movement to the extent of reopen
ing her Indian minis is received with
many doubts. A copy Of the cablegram
was shown to the president and to Sec
rotary Gage, but neither of them cared
to express any opinion on 1t beyond
the statement that they feared the Re-
view article was overdrawn.

NEW SUNDAY SCHOOL.
President Harpers Pet Scheme Put
Into Execution.
Head of University of Chicago About
to RevolutiOnize the Prevail-
ing Methods In the
Work.

President Harper Of the University
of Chicago has some ideas Of how q
model Sunday school should be run
and he will soon put them In operation.
The field selected for the ADVANCE
ment of the new scheme will be the
Hyde Park Baptist church and his own
university. The time set for the OPEN
ing day is June \, and on that day pu-
pills will be received In O school which
in every way must be regarded as mod
ern. All past traditions have been cast
aside, and the movement Is regarded
by those cognizant Of it's provisions as
q distinct revolution In the Sunday
school world.
The new departure will replace the
international Sunday school lessons, as
well as other kinds of literature used In
the present day schools. President
Harper, in conjunction with Bishop j.
II. Vincent, of the Methodist church,
and Prof. E. d. Burton, of the Univers-
ity Of Chicago. has already in prepare
ton set Of textbooks that will be
used in the two Sunday schools. They
are entirely different in every respect
from literature now in vogue In
churches, and can be compared more
favorably with those used in the public
schools.
There will be chiefs for the different
departments, and assistant chiefs and
directors and superintendent, whose
various duties IRE hid under titles of
pretentious proportions. President
Harper himself will be the superinten-
dent and Prof. Frank W. Shepardson
will be his assistant. Prof. E. d. Burt
ton will be director of instruction, and
will look after the courses, the teachers
and the standard of excellence to be
maintained. Public exercises will be
taken care Of by J. A. Russell. and the
religious life of the school will be at
tended to by Rev. j. L. Jackson. Tho
missionary and benevolent organiza-
ton has been given in charge of DR.. T.
w. Goodspeed, and the libraries will
be seen to by Mrs. leila A. Dixon, the
university librarian. The secretary will
be Miss Mary McAdams, and the treas
urer A. H. Parker.
The school will be divided into three
departments-the elementary, the Sec
ondary and the adult. The elementary
class will study stories and sayings in
the New Testament, the secondary the
Old Testament history and the adult
classes the Old Testament prophecies.
C. H. Marsh will have charge of the
first department, d. R. Myra Reynolds
the second and James Peabody the
last. Other officials will be R. B. David
son. chorister; Glen NJ Hobbs, leader
Of orchestra. and J. E. Raycroft. mar
shall.
AT the end of every three months
regular convocations will be held, and
the pupils will be given diplomas II
