THE REVIEW ARTICLE.

Asserts the American Monetary Commits
sion Has Been a Success.
LONDON, June 3O.-The next issue of
The National Review will contain an
announcement reporting an important
bimetallic development at the hands OF
the United States monetary commission,
consisting of Senator Wolcott, former
Vice President Stevenson, and General
Payne, which will arrive here in a few
days.
The commission, according to the Ma
tional Review, will present to the Brit
ish government joint statement from
France and the United States, declar-
ing their intention to terminate the
disastrous experiments inaugurated in
1873, and claiming our good will and
active concurrence.
The National Review adds: ''We are
able to announce that the government s
reply will be that England will be able
to reopen the Indian mints and give
help to silver by extending its use in
England, and by increasing the legal
tender of silver, making silver the basis
of notes, empowering the Bank of
England to use it's silver reserve, and
that material assistance and strong
moral support will be given to the OBJ
ject the United States and France have
ian view"

WASHINGTON, June 30.-The cable

of an article to appear in The National
Review to the effect that the United
States monetary commission had met
with gratifying success i'll France and
stating positively that England will re-
open its Indian minis and otherwise
contribute to an extended use Of silver,
was read with interest by government
officials. They had known that the
commission was very cordially received
in France and that the commissioners
were greatly encouraged by the strong
and apparently increasing silver senti-
ment in that country, as the president
not long since received a letter from
Senator Wolcott to this effect. The
statement that England is ready to join
in the movement to the extent of re-
opening her Indian minis isreceived
with many doubts. A copy OF the
cablegram was shown to the president
and to Secretary Gage, but neither Of
them cared to express any opinion on it
the statement that they feared

The Dance Saturday Night.

The dance given in Municipal
Hall Saturday night by the West
Virginia Cotillion club proved to be
one of the most enjoyable small
dances given by this club. Some lit
tie delay was occasioned by the neg
igence of the town Sergeant in
opening up the Hall on time, but
this was soon forgotten when the
dance had started. The presence of
several visitors in town did much to
enliven the occasion. The floor was
in excellent shape for dancing and
the music extremely good. In the
absence of the floor manager, Mr.
William Dent Robideau Amman acted
in that capacity. The program con
slsting of sixteen dances was inter
spersed with four extras Among
those present were: Mesdames |. G.

The Pittsburg ''Dispatch" reaches
the conclusion that the great de-
crease in the Republican plurality in
Secretary Cages congressional dis
trict, from 5000 to 600, is distinct
rebuke to the secretary's proposition
TO issue gold bonds to retire the
greenbacks, which is likely to be an
administration policy. 1t thinks the
lesson should not be lost. And that
persistence in the effort to retire the
legal tenders and increase the interest
bearing debt means the resuscitation
of BryanIsm." What the Dispatch"
means by Organism" is doing pretty
well. The Democratic party, to state
the case properly, has little need of
'resuscitation. 1t is alive, aggres-
sive and hopeful.
