Baron De Courcel said, as personal
suggestion. that among other contri"
buttons, he thought Great Britain
should open the India mints, and also
agree I'd purchase annually R1O, 900. 600
slerling of silver for series of years.
Senator Wolcott accepted the pro
pesaE that the British government
5 khoufd make this purchase, with proper
safeguards and provisions as to the
place and manner of Its use.
Since this conference the British
government has been considering the
proposals. and finally made the reply
handed to the United States ambas-
gador recently.
The reply of the government of India
upon which Lord Salisbury based this
decision Is long document, giving an
emphatic negative to the proposal to
reopen the India mints. 1t says in
part:
1.-The first result of the suggested
measures. II they were to succeed even
temporarily In their object, would be
nm intense disturbance of Indian trade
and industry. There would be sudden
rise in exchange which would be
enough to kill our export trade, for
time at least, unless the public were
oonvinced that the arrangement would
be permanent and have the effect in
tended.
''The paralysis of trade and industry
would be prolonged and would be ac-
companied by acute individual suffer-
Ing. None Of the advantages expected
would be attained, and the country
would pass through q critical period
which would retard its progress for
gears. The position would be disas-
trous alike to the state, to individuals
and to trade generally"
The reply then proceeds to point out
Ehat the proposed agreement would be
. much more serious question for India
than for the United States and France,
- the whole risk of disaster from fall
ure would fall upon India. If the
agreement broke down the United
States and France could take precau-
tlons against depletion of their gold
. reserves, but In India tho rupee, when
y;ho collapse came, would fall headlong
And the, government would have no
remedy against fluctuation in the ex-
change value of Inda's standard Of
value with the fluctuations In the price
tef silver.
For" continues the reply, III the
indian mints ere reopened to silver
now, It will be practically impossible
for the government ever to close them,
and, II 1t were possible, It would only
be after very large additions had been
made to the amount Of silver In cir
eulation."
Aftsr noting that "the effect of the
adoption Of the scheme would probably
be an Increase In prices In France and
the United States. but decrease in
india" change which France and
the United States would contemplate
with squanimity. but which would be
matiifestly impossible to India" the
reply suggests that "the United States

its proposals by fear Of experiencing

London. Oct. 23.-The correspondence
n regard to the bimetallic proposals of
ths United States monetary commis-
4 qlcn was issued by the British foreign
4 emce last evening. The following ac-
count Of the negotiations is taken from
ahe official publication:
S At the conference held at the for
eisn Office on July 12 the premier, the
Marquis of Salisbury; the secretary of
etate for India. Lord George Hamilton;
he chancellor of the exchequer. Sir
aichaet Hicks Beach; the first lord Of
Eba treasury. Mr.. A. ]. Balfour; the
United States ambassador. Colonel
John Hay, and the United States none
tary commissioners, Senator Edward
Y. Wolcott Of Colorado, ex-Vice Presi-
GENT Adlai II. Stevenson of Illinois and
General Charles Jackson Paine Of
Massachusetts,, were present.
On the invitation of the British pre-
mler Senator Wolcott explained that
the object of the mission was to ascer-
tain, In advance Of an International
conference, the views of the govern
merits and the envoys had determined
70 ascertain the views of the French,
British and German governments on
the question of reaching an interna-
} ional bln.stalllc agreement. They had
pcen to France, where they reached
complete and satisfactory understand
mg with the French government, and
khe ENJOYS would have the co-Opera-
kton, In this matter, of the French am
kassador in London.
n The senator then explained that the
success Of the mission depended upon
the attitude Great Britain would take,
, and he requested Great Britain to
agree to open the English mints, as
its contribution to the attempt to re-
store International bimetallism, with
France and the United States cooper
ating together in an attempt to that
end.
1.-THE Marquis of Salisbury asked II
france was ready to open her mints
to free coinage, and Senator Wolcott
replied, "Yes."
The premier thereupon inquired at
what ratio France would open her
mints. Senator Wolcott said at 15ia,
adding that the American cnvoys had
accepted this ratio.
A second conference was held OH the
a5th at which, in addition to those al
tead mentioned. the French ambassa-
dor and M. Godfrey, the counsellor of
the French embassy, were present.
* The French ambassador said France
was ready to reopen her mints TO the
coinage Of silver If the commercial ma
kions adopted the same course, and he
advocated at great length the ratio of
15is.
But, he explained, France would not
consider the reopening OF the mints
pd India alone as being sufficient guar
Antee to permit the French government
to reopen the French mints to the free
coinage of silver.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach then an
. Hounced definitely that Great Britain

South Dakota, and is, after all, a
very clever gentleman. ...
His firm is one of the largest cattle
firms in that section of the country,
handling from 1850 to 1000 head of
cattle yearly. The TR1RUNE reporter,
with his usual amount of fearlessness,
called on Mr.. Ross and interviewed
him on points pertaining to his craft.
The ranch of the firm of Ross &
Johnson is located about IS miles
west Of Huron. The country there
about is very sparcely settled, there
now being only about Is per cent. OF
the population Of ten years ago, and
actual farming in Hyde and Hand
counties is something almost ,un-
known, the land being wholly pasture.
Buffalo grass grows in abundance
and water is plentiful. IS: - E
Mr.. Ross has bought over 600 head
Of cattle in Kandiyohi county during
the past month, and he informed the
reporter that this year he has been
able to pay better prices than is usu-
ally paid, mainly because farmers
are now .raising-a better grade of cat
tie than formerly. He. advises farm
ers to take good care of cows during
the winter, and especially when they
are calving, because it is Of the high
est Importance to give the calf good
start at first, for when a. calf or any
young animal is zstunted, chances are
thatzit will never afterward amount to
any thing. 3.z=s =s. =s.. Is z..=sS.
Accord ding to Mr.. Ross, people here
know very Little about a real Dakota
winter Out in his locality there has
been from five to eight feetso snowson
the level, and the loss of sheep and
cattle in Hyd de and Hand counties this
year will at the least cal alton,
amount to SO per cent, Mr. Ross
alone losing forty head Of cattle in
one week from exposure. He could
not get any hay to them, as the hay
stacks we're buried under fully fifteen
feetof snow, and no railro Is open. Ol
course the severe losses the past
winter were q largely due to neglect
max proper preparatito for the
winter, asHhay Is generany plentiful,
and cattle are Away in fine CON

for. His term will expire in March
1899. He steps out to permit Hanna
to have the senatorial toga for two
