bers Of his family had kept themselves
in constant readiness to go to his bed
side at any moment. On Saturday
morning he had relapse, and 1t was APP
parent that recovery was impossible.
Several times, however, he rallied, but
toward night began to sink. During
the night there were feeble rallies, but
they did not last long. Sunday morning
1t was seen that the end was but few
hours off, and his attendants remained
almost constantly at his bedside. The
end came quietly.
The extreme heat of Friday and Sat-
urday had much to do with Fastening
death. On Friday Mr.. Dana showed
signs Of distress, and everything pos
sible was done to relieve him. He had
been weakened by his long illness, and
during the summer was several times
thought to be on the verge of fatal
collapse, but each time rallied. He did
not improve much with the coming
cooler weather and the sinking spells
became more frequent. On Friday Mr.,
Dana was able to take only the lightest
nourishment, and this condition con-
tinued. Paul Dana and his sisters, Mrs.
Draper, Mrs. Undertll and Mrs. Bran
an, were at his home on Saturday morn
ing and were warmed to remain there.

The Premiers Answer to the Note
OF Ambassador Hay.
1T IS VERY BRIEF, BUT TO THE POINT.

London, Oct. 21.-Salisbury on
Wednesday night sent to Ambassador
Hay the reply of the British govern1
ment to the proposals of the American
bimetallic special commission headed
by Senator Wolcott. 1t is diplomats
ically worded note. His lordship says
that the government of Great Britairt
is not able to reopen the India mints
at present. He regrets the inability to
accede to the proposals of the Ameri1
can commissioners, Great Britain hav1
ing Us great an interest as the United
States and France in securing stable
par exchange for gold and silver and
an enlarged use of silver. In these cirI
cumstances, continues Lord Salisbury,
the British government does not see the
desirability of an international mone-
tary conference, but will be pleased I'd
consider any other practical sugges.

head of the financial department Of
India, which was under discussion ut
the meeting of the cabinet council last
Saturday and which takes strong
grounds against the reopening of tho
India mints.
Ambassador Andrew White came
from Berlin last Saturday. He has
avoided publicity, but has had several
conferences with Senator Wolcott. In
the course of IN interview with the cor-
respondent of the Associated Press, Mr.,
White said that Germany's action as to
bimetallism will depend upon England,
Discussing the possibility Of tariff
war, Mr.. White said: II do not believe
that Germany will inaugurate tariff
war with the United States. The Ger.
man press and many German states
men have been very bitter against the
Dingley law; but think they are now
beginning to realize that an increased
prosperity will enable the United States
to buy as much as under the lower
tariff"

in New York. Wednesdays price Of
silver has not been equaled since July
Fl, when it was ~ 7-16 pence in Lon4
don and 1928 cents in New York. Ths
present strength of silver is attributed
to various causes. There is at present
a good minage demand in London and
there is also some covering of specula-
tive short sales. This is coupled with
present scarcity of supply. The In
dian demand for silver also continues
