view, will present to the British govern
ment joint statement from France and
the United States declaring their desire to
terminate the disastrous experiments in
augurated in 1878. and explaining our good
will and active concurrence" The National
Review adds: I'VE are able to announce
that Englands reply will be that the gov
ernment is willing to reopen the Indian
mints, to make other substantial contribu-
tions to the rehabilitation of silver by ex-
tending its use in England, by increasing

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The cablegram
from London to-day giving the substance
of an article to appear in the National Re

mission was very cordially received in
France and that the commissioners were
greatly encouraged by the strong and ap-
parently increasing silver sentiment in that
country, as the President not Ions since
received from Senator Wolcott a letter to
this effect The statement that England is
ready to join in the movement to the ex-

WASHINGTON, June 29--The prospect
OF the passage OF a bill or resolution for
the creation of monetary commission by
this special session of Congress is not
bright The Democratic Senate programme, ,
automatically stated by Senator Cor
man, the Democratic whip" is one OF
desertion as soon as the tariff bin is out
of the way II do not sec how we viii be
able to hold quorum, said Mr.. German
I'VE are staying here now from a sense
of duty TO the country, but many Demo-
ocrats win fail to understand that patriot
ism compes them to help along the Re-
publicans in all their plans at the expense
of personal health and convenience, and
am afraid they will not stay here through
the heated term The Democratic policy
is very plainly outlined in the foregoing
remarks of Senator German. Nothing will
be done after the tariff bill is worked off II
the Democrats can prevent it. and the ad-
ministraton will be left untrammelled TO
prepare and formulate a financial policy
for submission to the next regular session
of Congress in December.
Republican Senate leaders are full of re-
gret that they did not keep the House ret
roactive clause in the tariff bill and then.
II need De, let IL De knocked out IN con-
ference. They confess that the failure SO
to do has cost the country many millions
of dollars A member of the finance COM
mittee said this afternoon on this point:
I'VE should have reported the retroactive
clause to the Senate and kept it in the bill
to the last That would have discouraged
importations to a very large extent, as inn
porters would not have cared to take risks
or made heavy investments on @ gamble.
The open abandonment of the clause, as
indicated by the refusal of the finance
committee to report it, was notice to mer-
chants TO hurry forward their importa-
tions and fill up their warehouses to over
flowing. This privilege has been taken adj
vantage of to the uttermost to the great
loss of governmental revenues. The Senate
should have helped the House in it's efforts
to discourage anticipatory accumulations
of goods. 1t was a simple business propo-
sition. OF course, no one wanted to revive
the proposition after the committee
turned 1t down."
