THE MONETARY COMMISSION.


LONDON, July 12-The American
monetary commissioners are still la
boring earnestly to secure some tangi-
BILE concession from the British gov
eminent toward the enlarged use of
silver. The continental powers, as
known all along, except Germany, are
willing to reopen the question of BIZ
metallism on its merits as a con-
ference. Germany will follow the
lead of England. Salisbury will
consent to send delegates to
such a conference, if the United States
and other countries persist in the re-
quest. The American emissaries, if
they can get nothing else, will proba-
bly, seize this empty concession and
make the most of it. Such confer
ence, however, as the British govern
ment plainly intimates, would be a
mere farce, and even more bar
rem of results than the Brussels
fiasco. The British delegates would
have the same instructions as then,
and nothing could be accomplished.
The present efforts Of the American
commissioners are devoted to an en-
deavor to secure the consent of Great
Britain to reopen the Indian mints.
The silver advocates are confident the
reopening of the Indian minis would
advance the price Of the white metal
fully Is per cent. and thus give big
boom to silver agitation in the United
States. London, of course, is the key
to the whole situation, and no efforts
will be spared to bring enough influ'
ence to bear on the cabinet for favor

GREELEY COUNTY BOND CASE,
The Attorney General Preparing an APP
= peal to the Supreme Court.


: peal to the Supreme Court
Topeka, Kan, July S.-The attorney
general is preparing to appeal the
Greeley county bond case which was
recently decided against the state by
the district court of Greeley county.
In October, 1889, Greeley county issued
funding bonds to pay county warrants.
This issue and a subsequent one
made total of $4,000. The
state school fund bought the
bonds. When payment was demanded
Greeley county claimed that the
county commissioners issued the bonds
without having first secured a vote OF
the people, and contended such action
to be illegal. The district court held
it to be unlawful and ruled that the
bonds could not be collected. The con-
test IN the supreme court will be over
the legality of the boards action.
