Omaha, Neb., Sept. l4.-One of the
most distinguished gatherings OF
financial students and authorities that
ever assembled opened a three days
session at the Nebraska building on
the exposition grounds this morning.
Scarcely a we'll known name on either

PLANTATION and welcome Editor Horace
White, of the New York Evening
Post, was the chief defender of the
gold standard this morning. Mr..
White considered the saying that
there is not gold enough in the world
to do the business of the world. II
can PROVE" he said, that there is
enough gold to do our business At
the present time the banks of New
York and Boston have IS of gold to 81

for this is that the west and south
have drawn nearly all their paper cur
rency away from them. Gold has
flowed in from abroad to take its place.

A DECIDED CHANGE IN JAPAN'S
POLICY.

Minister Hoshi of Japan in recent
conference with Secretary Sherman,
at the State Department in Washing
ton, announced Il decided change in
the tone of Japan's policy.
The status of the Hawaiian negotia-
tons has changed materially since
the Minister'S return from Japan.
There is no further protest on the
part of the Japanese government TO
the annexation of the Islands, and it
is asserted that Japan's policy never
went to the extent of a protest. In
any event that branch of the question
is considered closed and the present
purpose of the japanese authorities is
to secure specific assurances from the
United States that in case Hawaii is
annexed that Japanese interests will
be fully protected.
In a letter Mr.. Sherman wrote to
Mr.. Hoshi on the subject of anneHa-
ton. he makes prominent the assur-
ance that all the japanese interested
in Hawaii would be amply safeguard
ed. The desire therefore is to convert
this assurance into specific guarantee
foo the futue. 1t is said this does not
include an assurance of the continu-

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.

The cabinet held special session
Saturday night at which instructions
understood to be of pcs tive character
bearing on the Philippine question,
were drafted for dispatch to the Ameri-
can minister, in Paris. These instruc
tions were the outcome of conference
held early in the day and instruct the
American representatives to admit of
no further discussion as to the right to
consider the disposition of the islands,
and state that on that point the instruc-
tions already sent must stand, the only
matter for discussion from the Ameri-
can view being the manner of giving
over the islands.
1t is believed in Washington that this
will bring the Spsniards to speedy sell
Element, and that they will not break
off the negotiations, as they have IN.
officially talked OF doing, but that they
will acceede to the demands of the
United States. 1.-THE Spaniards should,
however, break off the negotiations,
Spain would not be able to resume hos.
Utilities, and would not be able to pre-
vent our taking the Philippines without
any compensation whatever.
a dispatch FROM Paris says: The i'm
preston exists here that the Span
ish peace commissioners will not con-
s9nt to a treaty which the American
commissioners will be allowed to be
signed By their government. 1t seems
utmost possible, also, that in the pita-
bile pressure to which the Spanish COM
missioners are subjected between their
large creditors, who are on the spot
watching them, and the stern attitude
of the United States, the Spaniards
may abandon their efforts and leave
the two forces to confront each other.
It is understood in diplomatic circles
in Berlin that Spain, after the conclu-
sion of treaty of peace with the United
States, will try to dispose OF her few
remaining colonies, notably the Mari
ana islands, the Caroline islands and
Pala islands.
A dispatch from Manila says that the
Filipinos have captured suburbs of
Iloilo and were preparing to attack the
town when General Rios, Spanish
commander, obtained an srmistice in
order to obtain permission from Mad
rid to surrender to Americans.
The Gaulois and other Paris papers
say that an international syndicate
representing $500, 900 capital, pro-
poses to take over the commercial re-
sources and advantages of the Philip.
pines for term of twenty-five years,
paying to the nation dominant in the
islands Sl25, 100000 for the rivilege.
