colt Of Colorado last evening called a
| the White House and remained nearly
| all the evening. The time was devoted
entirely 10 the subject of bimetallisIr
and Senator Wolcott told the president
the main features Of his trip abroad ana
| informed him Of the conditions which ne
found. 1t is understood that Mr.. Ne

that Senator Wolcott brought back.
MONETARY CONFERENCE.
| Washington, March 9.-The Evening
/ Star today says: 1t is understood that
the president will not appoint members
of an International conference commits
sion, or take any steps towards calling
| a conference, until after the expiration
of the special session of congress. The
presiden. has in mind very compre-
hensive plan for dealing with the whole
monetary question. It is understood
that ne will at first confine negotiations
with foreign governments TO the usual
diplomatic agencies. All the ambassa-
doris and ministers of foreign govern
ments appointed by Mr.. Mckinley will
be given special instructions to devote
particular attention to bringing about
friendly understanding on the monetary
question. They are expected TO assume
an attitude friendly to binetallism and
10 exert what influence they can toward
inducing the countries to which they are
accredited 10 give the matter serious
consideration.
GAGE Is A BUSY MAN.
Washington. March 9.-Secretsry Gage
lad another busy day in receiving call
ers. The ways and means committee of
the house, headed by Mr.. Dingley, call
ed in a body about II o'clock and were
presented 10 the secretary. Senator
Teller, Senator CuIom and Representa-
five Hit were among the men calling
who desired to pay their respects. 1t
now seems improbable that any consid
cradle number of treasury nominations
viii be sent TO the senate tomorrow.
There are five or six vacancies in the
offices of the collectors of internal reve-
nue. and one or two places Of a more or
less confidential character in the secre-
taTy's office which will probably be fill
ed first. The chief clerk and the D
pOin,ment clerk are usually changed
very soon after a new secretary is in
stalled and it is probable that the usual
course will be pursued in this instance.
HAY STANDS IN WELL.
Chicago, March 9.-The Times Herald's
Washington special says:
The British government. through Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassa-
dor here, has been asked whether Colonel
John Hay would be persona grata as am
bassador to Great Britain.
This is the usual custom in the case
of an ambassador, as an ambassador
having the entree at court and coming in
direct contact with the head of the state
TO whom he is accredited must be per-
sonally agreeable to the sovereign or
ruler.
The British government has Informed
the state department through Sir Julian
that Colonel Hay will be made welcome
whenever he cares 20 call on the queen
and his nomination is expected TO be sent
10 the senate in the course of a few days.
