LONDON. Aug. 6.-The American bimetallist
ENJOYS, having inquired when they might OK.
pect q reply from the Government to their pro-
posals, received to-day q letter from Sir Michael
Hicks Beach. Chancellor Of the Excheauer, in
which he said that he feared the Government
was not yet in q position to reply TO tho propo-
sails which the ENJOYS of tho United States and
Baron de Courccl. the French Ambassador. had
placed before tho English Ministry.
Touching the question of an international
agreement respecting silver, Sir Michael added:
I" 1t is due. both to the Importance of the subject
and the manner in which it has been brought be-
fore the Ministry by the Representatives OF the
two countries, that the proposals should be very
carefully anil and considered, and this
process must be somewhat prolonged owing to
the time necessarily occupied In communicating
with the Government Of India. The Chancellor
cannot at present say with certainty how long
these communications will take. but hopes that
the Ministry will be ready to again meet the en-
voys early in October"
The plans of Senator wolcott, former Vice
President Stevenson. and Gen. Paine. the

remain here for the present.
An important memorial, which has been
signed by more than $50 Of the leading labor

DENVER. Aug. 6.-The effect Of the decline in
silver to 55la cents an ounce and the probability
of q further fall to perhaps so cents which
seems to be conceded by those in the best posi-
ton to Judge present conditions, is the current
topic of conversation among mining men.
Though some are greatly discouraged by The
outlook for mining in Colorado. the general
opinion seems to be that the decline OF silver
will have no very serious effect upon the minea,
because there Is comparatively little silver now
mined in the State, except in connection with
copper, gold, and lead mining. There Is q posi-
bility that some OF the Aspen and Creole prop
critics will shut down, but aside from these there
will be little change in the situation here.
