land, finance minister of the council. at
the meeting yesterday of that body
made speech, in which he said he was
unable to give d final reply to the ques-
tion of the introduction of the gold
standard. One thing was clear he con-
tinued; great advance had been made
in the direction contemplated by the
authors of the nolicy of 1898. namely
the gold standard would become possi-
bic. Many obscure points had been de-
termined by actual experience. The
disasters nf 1897 had been followed gby
a bountiful harvest and renewal OF
trade discussions of last autumn had
prepared public and official opinion in
England to the possible necessity of
the gold standard. which might in
yoiye the actual diversion for Indian
purposes of a certain amount of gold
from the general available stock.

conditions the liberation Of air from

ity in this reported discovery, and its
success can be practically demonstrate
