A dispatch for the New York
Tribune from London says: 'The
British Governments answer to the
proposals of the United States and
France for bimetallism by Internal
ional agreement will probably be
ready within a fortnight. Possibly
it vii be delivered even earlier, as
there is evidence hat the ministry is
disturbed by the p%rolongation of the
controversy over the monetary ques-
ton in the press and wish to put an
end to it.
"Two months ago they were
strongly disposed to make such con
cessions to the United States and
France as would have enabled those
powers to convoke a monetary con
ference. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach
obtained from the Bank of England
a qualified assent to the conversion
into silver one-ffth of the reserve
for the redemption of the note issue
"The Indian Government was al
so consulted respecting the expedi,
ency of reopening the mints to the
free coinage of silver. If the an
swer to that proposition had been as
favorable as the reply of the gov
ernor of the Bank of England on the
minor point of a larger use of silver
in the reserves. Senator Wolcott's
mission would have been completely
successful in opening the way for a
new session of the conference

ally revealed, but it has been re.

Latest Silver News.

The latest news from London
regarding the prediction made in
the dispatches of the Associated
Press on Saturday last to the effect
that Great Britain's answer to the
bimetallic proposals would be de-
layed has been confirmed.

side, and the United States moneta-

Republican Mlsmanagem ent

The Capital, edited by a member
of Gov. Bradley's official family, who
ought to know what he is talking
about, thus shows up the mismanage
ment of the Frankfort penitentiary:
"The State of Kentucky in four
years has lost on the Frankfort peni-
Tertiary S235, 1902, nearly as much
as the Dick Tate defalcation.
This ought to arouse the Sinking
Fund Commissioners to the gravity
of the situation. Under last year S
operation with the contract with a.
D. Martin for the chair output, the
state lost S97 ,286,26.
But look at the way the prison ex-
peDses have grown; in 1894 they
amounted to only $4,000; 1895 they
rounded out Sl00,00O; and finally, tC
the shame of the Republican party
when Dr.. Hunters political debts
were paid through the penitentiary
the expenses in 1895 ran over Sl09,
000
In April, 1898, Gov Brown thought
the Mason 81 Foard contract was not
a good thing for the state and he
forced the lessees out. For many
months the entire l,200 convicts were
idle at the expense of the state. And
yet with the prisoners idle during
the time from April l, to November
30, only S2,222,32 beng realized
from their labor, the expenses were
only S67 1856, and the state lost
only sos. 707 ,33 as against a loss of
$97 ,2S6, 26, under a contract system
that the commissioners promised
would bring the prison out even the
first year and show profit thereafter.
In addition to the losses shown by
the warden's reports, there was ma
chinery bought by the state in 1894
and 1895, mounting to Sl9,622, and
additional machinery bought since
the Martin contract began, amount
ing to $S,400,Sl. At least half Of
this may be counted IS lost and this
brings the prison deficit up to and
beyond the amount lost by Dick
Tate.
These figures show that the present
system is failure. The remedy lies
10 retrenchment of the expenses
that have nearly doubled in four
years, and in stopping the robbery
that has gone on. Somebody is either
guilty of criminal collision in making
prices at less than cost, or somebody
has been guilty of criminal careless
ness. 1t is the duty of the com
missioners after setting aside Martins
forfeited contract to go to the
Bottom of the jobbery or incompetence
that has produced the awful results
shown by the figures"

"A New sIf0nSpOTIaIAOn SGhSWSs
A company has ueen ornanizeG for the
purpose Of securing cheaper freiOhts,
via the lakes and the Erie canal to New
York, among others interested are Chas.
A. Pillsbury of Minneapolis. Cheaper
rates on -four and wheat means better
prices for wheat, and Minnesota is
deeply interested bv the success of the
scheme. New York advices say Erastus
Wlnan. representing the Consolidated
Canal and Lake company has obtained
lease from the board of docks in New
York. Mr.. W,man explained that his
company expected to bring into New
York annually 100000 barrels of
-four via the Erie canal. To do this il
woul. be necessary for the company to
have dockage and storage. Mr.. Wiman
finally secured the lease Of the pier at
the canal basin at the foot OF West
Fifty-fourth street at a rental Of So, 500
annually for ten years. The company
purposes to put up a 100000 shed
over the pier.
The Mall and Express SAYS: The
leasing OF this pier is great blow at
the railroads running into the metropo-
lis and its vicinity. The railroads have
for some years nnonopolized the -four
carrying business from the great lakes,
not only for the uses Of the three big
cities, but tor the export trade as we'll.
The new company accepts the lease of
the pier with the proviso that if within
five years it does not handle annually
100000 barrels. or 100000 tons, OF
-four, the piers and shed are to revert to
the city. The granting OF the lease of
the pier is a great movement in the d.
rection of improved cannl trade, and
canal boat men were jubilant when they
learned the news. In the matter of ex-
port trade alone it will be a hard blow
