In England Hopeful of Securing Rec

LONDON, Aug. THE British gov

commissioners on behalf of the United
States in October.
The commissioners have been await
ing in London since their conference
with the cabinet. and, desiring 70
know the exact position of England
before opening negotiations with other
governments, they wrote, Thursday, 10
the cabinet inquiring when they might
| expect decision, as they were getting
anxious to arrange their future PRO
gramme.
Yesterday Senator Wolcott received
a reply from Sir Michael Hicks-beacn'
in the course of which the chancellor
expressed fear that the British gov
eminent was not yet in position 20
reply to the proposals of the ENJOYS Oh
the United States and the French am
bassador on the question OF an inter-
national agreement. Sir MlchaeA
Hicks-Beach said:
1T is due both to the Importance OF
the subject and the manner in when
it has been brought before the Engllsh
ministry by the representatives OF the
two countries, that these proposals
should be very carefully examined and
considered; and this process must be
somewhat prolonged, owing to the
time that must necessarily be occu-
pied in communicating with the gov
eminent of India"
The chancellor adds that he cannot
say with certainty how long these com
munications will take, but he hopes
the cabinet will be ready to meet the
ENJOYS of the two nations again early
in October.
While this postponement OF Eng
lands decision delays the work,
the American ENJOYS do not con-

contrary they consider Great Brit

rather the city financial circles, which
are opposed to any change. The re-
port made to the government from the

silver. The headquarters of the COM,
mission will remain in London until,
October.
Senator Wolcott may visit Austria in;
the meantime and pave the way for
negotiations with the Austrian govern

THE DECLINE IN SILVER.
CoIorapans Express Their Opinions Some
Are Discouraged.

CoIorapans Express Their Opinions Some
Are Discouraged.
DENVER, Col, Aug. 1.-THE effect of
the decline in silver to 55X cents per
ounce, and the probable further fall to-
as low as so cents, which seems to be
conceded by those in the best position
to Judge, is current topic of converse
ton among mining men, and while
some are greatly discouraged at
the outlook for mining in Col
orado, the general opinion seems
to be that the decline of silver will
have no very serious effect upon the
mines, because there is comparatively
little silver now mined in the state ex-
cept in connection with copper, gold
and lead. There is possibility that
somesof the Aspen and Creole proper
ties will shut down, but outside of
these there will be little change in the
situation.
Ex-Gov. J. b. Grant, of the Omaha g.
Grant Shelter, said: ~ am of the opin-
ion that silver will continue to GO.
down until there is a marked decrease
in the production in some parts of the
world, and it remains to be seen which
of the silver-producing countries will
give way first. If the present vol
ume of silver production is main
tanned, with silver at ssh, it
will go lower until the supply and de-
mand are nearer together. OF course
there will come a time when it will
stop falling, but do not think that
will come until there is a very marked
decrease in production, unless in the.
meantime silver should be remon-
etized. One thing will result from
the decline-no more new silver en-
terprises will be started, and
there will be an increased activity in
the search for gold. 1 also think IL.
will have some effect upon the develop
ment of Mexico, and that no more rail-
roads will be built to the mines of that
country. It will have no serious eff
feet upon the production of lead, for I
have figured out that with lead at $500.
and silver at 551<, it is just about as
profitable to the miner as when lead
was 1925 and silver 65.
Ex-senator N. P. Hill, of the Boston
g. Colorado smelter. thinks that the de-
cline will be seriously felt in manv
quarters. The aggregate loss will be
quite large" said he. Last year the
average price paid our company for
silver was 66.S6 cents per ounce, and
the difference between that price and
to-day's quotations amounts to about
$120, 600 in our production of last wear.
In 1892 the price was much higher, and
the loss compared with to-day's price,
would be nearly $3.50, 0OOr

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7.-Speaking OF

WIN Rsnet,t tha Cnnse OF Cuhan

New YORK Aug. emilio Agra
monte, president of the Jose MART
revolutionary society club and the
Marti charity organization of this
city, heard the news of the killing of
Premier Canovas last night at his home
and exclaimed:
This is truly hard to believe. F"
Then he said: ''Sagasta, who is head
of the liberals; win surely succeed
Canovas, and feel certain that should
Sagasta succeed Canovas, he will fol-
low the same general policy in regard
to Cuba as Canovas made every effort
to do. It will doubtless be his idea to
bring about relationship between
Spain and Cuba such as exists between
England and Canada. But such a re-
lationship will never be accepted. She
must have complete and absolute indie
pendence.
Still it is my belief that the killing
of Canovas will be a great benefit to
the cause of Cuba. It may even lead
to Independence. Independence--that
is the only thing for Cuba.
