No Berlin Paper Mentioned the Fact
of His Arrival

Berlin, Feb. Ex-senator Wo1cott. who
arrived yesterday from Paris. has had
conferences with DR.. Arendt, Won Kar-
dorff, and other leading bimetallists.
The German Bimetallic association held
its annual meeting tonight, Kardorff and
Arendt being the chief speakers They
declared that they committed an indiscre-
ton by even saying that Senator Walcott
was in Berlin; still the members might
like to know that in consequence of his
conferences with representatives of the
governments both in London and Paris
he had acquired the best possible hopes
that bimetallism would soon be realized
He would, indeed, leave Europe well sat-
isfied with the result of his mission
No German paper has mentioned the
fact of Senator Wolcott's arrival. He
leaves tomorrow for Amsterdam and Ant
Werp.
