DENIED IN WASHINGTON

Washington. March 2s.-From inquiry
in official circles here. it appears that
any statement that the president has
determined to appoint specially accred-
tied commissioners to undertake nego-
tiations abroad with foreign powers
in the furtherance of bimetallism is at
least premature. So far. II is said. the
president has been unable to give Sc
rious attention to the financial sub
ject, and there is no reason to suppose
that he has changed his well defined
plan OF insisting upon deferring con-
slderation Of all other questions until
the changes necessary to be made in
the tariff are effected. Among the re-
publican senators. too. there is a grow
ing belief that before anything Is at
tempted in the way Of a monetary
conference 1t would be well to wait
until the appointments Of ambassa-
doris and mlnaters have all been made
and the new officials have had full
opportunity to sound the governments
to which they are accredited. in order
to avoid rebuffs.

rising steadily and stands at sos feet.
All night the wind blew and the waves
beat on rhe levee and weary hands

and 1t left everybody exhausted. This
morning the mayor issued procla-
nation recfting the desperate condi-

ing that the stores be closed and all
able-bodied men sent TO the front. The
proclamation met with a hearty re-
