tho Gold Standard There.
LONDON. Sept. 1.-The following
notice was posted on the Bank Of Eng
land to-day:
1.-THE secretary of state for india in
council, gives notice that the sale OF bills
of exchange on Calcutta, Bombay and
Madras, has been suspended for period
OF not less than ten weeks"
The government has very little money
In India to draw on, owing to the famine
and the plague having rendered the coll
lection OF taxes slow. The present time
may be opportune to accustom the In
dlnns to the use Of gold instead OF silver.
The Daily Telegraph anticipating the
action OF the Indian council, said to-day:
"The council may refuse to draw alto
gether thus sending exchange UP to the
gold point and render possible the estab-
llshment Of the gold standard In India"
The action OF the Indian council has at
tracted but the slightest notice In the at-
tornoon newspapers and has not affected
the rate Of exchange. which is normal
The Westminster Gazette commenting
on the subject, says:
"Tho decision was altogether unex-
pected. being the outcome OF the flnan-
clal situation In india"

tfon OF President Ratchford and calls
him IAN insane idiot" for not accept

mise. "I want TO say positively" he
declared, that within three days hum
dreds and thousands of men II neces-
sary, will be brought into this district
to start the mines. am In favor OF
arbitration, but the terms offered by
Ratohford are not arbitration. 1t Is
impossible to pay slxty-nine cents and
submit the question of price for all the
mining states TO arbitration. II sixty

cents, / will only lose n few thousand
dollars, as l am protected in my con-
tracts. but other large operators Will
lose heavily. and they will certainly re-
tallate on November 10, when the lake
contracts are filled and the price for
mining will be down to flfty-four cents
again. A fair compromise rate, II agreed
to, would be OF permanent benefit to
tho miners"
