London. Sept 16.-At the semi-an-
nual meeting of the Bank of England
today the governor said: you are
probably aware of the proposals laid
before the government in the summer
by the United States and France where
by the country might increase its use
of silver as contribution to an inter-
national agreement, which, while not
affecting our gold standard, might en-
able the mines of France and America
to resume free coinage. Among the
proposals was one asking the bank to
hold the amount of silver permissible
under the act of 1874 as against its
notes"
The governor then read a letter dated
July 90 addressed to the chancellor of
the excheaaer, Sir Michael Hicks
Beach 1t was as follows:
Referring to our conversation, we
beg to say that the bank is prepared to
carry out what is laid down as per-
missible in the bank charter, viz: To
hold one-ffth of its note issue in sill
yer, provided always. that the French
mint is again open to the free coinage
of silver, and that the prices at which
silver is procurable and salable are sat
isfactory."
Replying to the questions, the COVER
nor said Tire Bank had no nego-
tary commissioners, adding: I'VE have
bought no silver. Ali we have done is
to agree under certain circumstances
to carry out what is permissible under
the act OF 1874
BIMETALLISTS ARE JUBILANT.
The letter caused surprisingly little

silver stocks Great satisfaction. how
ever, is expressed at the headquarters
of the Birnetallic league. The secretary

Glennie, when asked if the action of
the Bank of England depended upon

2lied:

TAKES MUCH CREDIT.


Taking credit for having practically
killed the plan, the editorial concludes
with the warning that the campaign
Will be continued:
THE leading French statesmen are
nct wholly disineiIned to reopen the
minis while a vigorous attempt is be
ing made to induce India TO adopt the
same course. This should not be done
Without serious consideration. In any
case, free coinage by France, India and
the United States would not Justify the
Bank of England in regarding silver as
gold for reserve. Therefore. the banks
offer can only encourage iqlusory hopes.
And the sooner it is allowed to Iapse
into oblivion. the better for all con-
cerned"
Lord Farrar writes to the Times in
part as follows: II learn from the best
accessible information that a DroDcgal
has been made to reopen tile Tr.dian
nliLts to silver, on the understanding
the United States and France do the
same, at a ratio of 1574 to l. The con-
s.deration offered is that it win insure

change. OF course. al. that ratio. this
,pTcposal appears to me to be in the
highest degree objectionable. First, be-
cause y outs an end to am experiment

Lord Falrar promises ON a future &C.

THE TIMES HYsFERICAL.
Running Out of New Argument, 1t
Repeats Itself.

London. Sept 17.-The Times comment
ing editoriaNy this morning on the letter
read by the government of the Bank of
England at the semi-annual meeting of
the bank says: AS TIE same influences
have been at work in France as here in
relation to the currency reserve, the re-
opening of the French minis is perhaps
Within the limits of possibilities, though
we doubt whether the acton of the Bank
of England can be in any case determ-
ming factor. the second condition which
the bank imposes, the condition with
reference to the price of silver. is
obviously more important. An immense
responsibility would rest upon the bank s
officials who must exercise the right to
decide what should be regarded as a fair
price of silver
The editorial protests strongly against
the policy of the bank in having con-
scented to commit itself. though even thus
limited and safeguarded. Repeating
arguments used in former articles. the
Times says. we cannot assume that the
admission of a silver reserve would not
detract from the banks prestige abroad.
1t would be very Objectionable course
and not at all justified by the negotia-
tons of the ministry with the American
commissioners and French government -

To THE EDITOR OF The COURIER:
The leading editorial Of your issue Of
May 8 is 50 extremely unfair, and at
least in it's implications as to Professor
Wolfe and his work, SO untrue, that 1

called for. AS student having had
three years work in the department OF
philosophy, l feel justified in speaking
both Of it and of the man and gentle
man under whom have taken it.
AS to the work, it is necessary to say
little. The COURIER speaks truly when
It says that under Professor Wolfe it
has raised from insignifcance to wide
popularity, But The CoUEIFR's impli-
cation that this is due to the nature OF
the branches taught rather than to the
professors ability, personality and in-
defatigable labor is absurdly false as a
half hours investigation Of college
records will show. There is not a de.
partment OF philosophy in the country

breaches our own either in popularity
or in work done. There arc several

The COURIER publishes letter from
Mr.. Alexander on ar other page, because
il represents the other side OF case
that is already on the way to the OBJ
scurity it deserves. Mr.. Alexander is
one OF the students who were not in
cluded in a recent remark by Professor
Wolfe to the effect that unfortunately
there were members OF his classes
whom he was not perfectly sure Of. There
fore on this account he was forced to
be triae more careful than formerly
when he could confide to them his not
especially fattering opinion OF the bal
ance OF the faculty and executive with
no fear that it would be repeated where
if would harm any one but especial
members of the faculty and executive.
The editorial OF last week was written
after q careful investigation OF the
trouble at the university, with especial
attention to the relative numbers OF the
students who criticised the action OF the
regents. Very much the larger part Of
the student body is made up Of young
gentleman and ladies to whom the

which is for the time being church, is
