 LONDON, Sept. 16.-As the semi-an- nusl meeting of the Bank of England today Governor George Sandman called attention to the proposals made before the Government by the Uaited States and France Uhersby England might in crease she use of silver as 8 contribu- bion to the original agreement which. while not affecting she gold standard, might enable the hints of France and America to resume free coinage. Among the proposals was one asking Shat the bank Sithhold the amount of silver permissible under the act of 1S44 as against its notes.
 He said the bank had no neRotis sions with the United States monetary commissioners, adding thst the bank had bought no silver. All that was done is to agree under certain condi- tioos to carry ont what is permissible under the act of 1844. namely to hold oue-fitth of the notes issued in silver, provided shat shs French mint is again thrown open to the free coinage of silver, and that sre prices at which silver is proourshle and sslesbls are satisfactory.

THE hope of MT. Bryan and his popo- cratic followers is that some terrible disaster may overtake the business of the nation, such, for instance. as frost that would kill the wheat and fruit of the farmers, soorge of army worms. grass hoppers and Weevils to destroy the crops universal strike of leborere that would psrslyze the business of the nstion, or anytbing in the way Of public disaster that would head off the march of pros perty. A man OF party that deper ds ou pu olic diessteR for personal or po- liticsl success is hardly to be depended upon anywhere.

AMERICAN secu urities, according to BradstreetS, have been returning largely from London and Paris for some time past, so much so that the entici- paSed flow of gold to this country from Europe has not yet set in and American stocks sud other securities have raised and strengthened in the London market. This indicates that the coun- tFy is paying up those stocks and bonds rapidly which will finally place us iu position where gold expoftation cannot take place from the fact that foreign money markets will not hold the s4ouri- ties by which they can force the gold from our treasury.
