CONDITIONS MADE KNOWN.
How England Proposes to DO some
thing for silver.

tntuk iOF obNeff
London, Sept. 20.--At the semi-an-
nual meeting Of the Bank Of England
today the governor said.
You are probably aware Of the
proposition laid before the government
in the summer by the United States
aud France whereby this country
should increase its use Of silver as a
contribution to the international agree
ment, which, while not affecting our
COLO standard, might enable the mints
Of France and America 10 resume free
coinage. Among the proposals. was one
asking that the Bank OF England hold
the silver permissible under the act OF
1874 as against its notes. b"
The governor then read letter dated
July 30, addressed to the chancellor OF
the excliequer, Sir Michael Hicks
Beach II was as follows:
Referring TO our conversation we
beg to say the bank is prepared to
carry out what is laid down as permis-
sable in the bank charter, viz: to hold
0ne-fifth Of it's note issue In silver, pro-
yided always that the French mint is
again open to the free coinage Of silver
and that the price at which silver is
procurbale and salable are satisfactory. ("
Replying to questions, the governor
said the bank had had no negotiations
with the United States monetary COM
missioners, adding:
"We have bought no silver. All we
have done is to agree under certain cir
cumstances to carry out what is per-
missable under the act OF 1874.

Outlook for New Orleans.

New Orleans, Sept. 20.--A brighter
outlook for New Orleans is evident to-
night, so far as the fever situation is
concerned. The reports to the board
were of most encouraging nature. In
stead Of 2ocases requiring investigation,
there were only 10 to be looked into to-
day, and of these, only three were pro-
nounced suspicious, and one declared
yellow fever.
President oliphant, Of the board Of
health, and President Britain, of the
council, said tonight, that the chances
Of crushing out the disease had in
finitely improved.
A fatal case OF genuine fever devel-
oped in the very heart of Biloxi today
There have been altogether % cases Of
yellow fever in Biloxi, with only only
one death, that of today.
At Ocean Springs, no new cases have
been reported.
