against the Governor. He says:

board presented eight designs. stating In their

Tho Senator say examihations OF the cost Of
similar buildings show the cost per cubical
foot to be more than 80 cents. He continues:
THE cubical contents Of our legislative
building should not exceed 100. 900 feet. Tho
fund for the construction OF our building, after
the payment Of the expenses Of competition,
&C., would not exceed 100000.
According to cost per cubical foot, all the de-
signs would demand u larger expenditure, the
cost in tho eight designs submitted by the ex-
ports running from $52S.60 to ~ .404. 600.
Tho experts and Commissioner agreed that the
design calling for the least expenditure would
result in an inadequate structure.

LONDON, Sept. 12.-Thc Chronicle tomorrow
VIII say: are enabled to stale that thcrc
Is no ground for the suggestion that the Hank
of England c%ontcmplntcs holding onc.ifth of
It's reserve In silver"
Tho Standard will say that littlo credit IL
given TO the curious statement that tho bank is
harboring such u notion.
According to the Telegraph. tho idoa Of tho
onnk making silver part OF It's reserve is not
taken seriously in tho city, although the state.
ment that 1t had decided TO do so Is much dis.
cnsscd In financial circles.
lho DdttD NcUS says that the publication by
the Times OF the statement that the Bank in
tended to hold one.hfth OF its reserve for tho
redemption Of its notes in silver is Il further
PROOF or that papers total unworthiness as a
guide In any matter relating to the currency.
Inc Times makes no comments on the re.
ported Intention OF the Bank, except in its city
article, In which 1t throws cold water on the
sensational statement 1t published Saturday.
II quotes market gossip to the effect that 1t
was there thought that the Times had got only
one end OF the story, and that the Bank had con.
sented only to hold silver In its reserve
subject to certain conditions. such as the estab-
lishment of bimetallism in France and tho
United States, and q guarantee from the British
Government that the Bank would not suffer loss
ny 30 DONG. This gossip Is accompanied by the
comment that no conditions would warrant tho
entertainment of such n proposal as the holding
OF part of the reserve in silver.
1t is evident from the foregoing that tho
Times Is seeking to cover its retreat from its
previous statement. Remembering the 7imes's
previous experiences, notably the scandals OF
three years ago In connection with its city ar
I clio, the effrontery with which II continues to
pose as the mouthpiece OF the Bank Of England
is remarkable.
Il, Il. Grenfell, writing to the Times as a
bimetallist, and as one OF the Senior Governors
OF the Bank, routes the statement furnished
by that papers correspondent on Saturday.
In the course Of his letter, be says that
oimetailists declare that the practical result OF
the double standard in France alone was that
the two metals did exchange all over the world
at a legal ratio. lie adds:
There ID no ground for saying that any one
connected with the Bank of England has of.
hcially gone beyond that position. Indeed, ]
doubt II any opinion has been recorded or any
determination come to at all. Your CORE.
