THE INTELLIGENCER.
WHEELING, OCTOBER 20, isST'
30 Intsrnaiton.I Conf.r.nes.

The deeiinatton OF Great Britain to en-
ter an International conference on the
silver question. ss proposed by this gov
eminent through It's commission, in ac-
eordance with the pledge OF the admins
traiion TO use Its Efforts TO hring about
international bimetallism, puts an end
for the present 10 the negotiations. It
was fair and practical effort on the
part Of the United States. and the result
VIII be Disappointing. although no blame
can be attached 10 this country or to the
administration.
Without the corporation Of England
{; would bO impossible TO carry the pro
Sec; through successfully. France had
slgnthed her readiness TO take part in a
conference and there was some hope that
England would. in view OF this fact also
accept the Invitation and the entire vex-
atious question be settled once and for
all.
This hope gIined ground when II was
announced recently that the Bank OF
England might. under certain circum-
stances. carry part o. its reserve fund in
silver. but 1t seems that this statement
was simply made as feeler in order TO
obtain the sentiment Of the English peo-
pie on the subject. Il was received with
such disfavor in all quarters Of England
that the government finally adopted its
present course
Then New York Mail and Express, in
commenting on the failure OF the nsgo-
tiations for an international conference,
SAYS tina; it reflects no discrsdft what
ever on the United States. The admin
istration at Washington" continues our
contemporary. has been perfectly frank.
consistent and sincere throughout the
whole negotiation. IL entered into the
AFFAIR in good faith and comes out Of it
with nothing requiring apology or expla-
nation. The appointment Of the-Ameri-
can commissioners was made in com
plIance with the Republican national
platform Of 1886, which declared for BIZ
ne.sIAsm on the basis OF international
agreement. The gentlemen named as
commissioners were chosen for their
known friendlfness to silver, and In their
efforts abroad they have enjoyed the cor
dial and sympathetic support Of the gov
eminent The failure Of their mission Is
In no way discreditable to themselves or
