CONFERENCE.
Washington Dec. 6.-H. H. Hanna. chairman
OF the Executive Committee Of the Indianapolis
Monetary Conference. speaking to-day OF the
financial bills before Congress said:
The bills prepared by the Republicans OF the
Senate Finance Committee and by the Caucus
Committee OF the Republicans of the House have
so much that is courageously comprehensive OF
the needs for eliminating all doubt as 10 goid
being the standard and unit Of value OF our mon
etarv system that /; Is wise to encourage the
passage of these bills by the respective houses
and reserve all suggestions for additions or
changes until the conferrees Of the two houses
take up the subject
The bills are splendid expressions OF the pur'
pose to fulfil the pledge for gold standard legis-
.lation. and should greatly encourage the Pres-
dent to believe that all proper revision or our
monetary laws is possible Of accomplishment
Both bills contain provision for gold reserves and
their maintenance. The gold reserve provided
by the Senators s ample for maintaining the in
terchangeability Of all Government moneys. and
the changes in denominations OF paper currency
are safe and important aids 10 its feasible ana
easy accomplishment. II such full interchange
ability can be included ii would perfect the
establishment OF the gold standard beyond risk
OF change except by the deliberate action or the
lawmaking government

sCEPTICAL ABOUT AGUINALDO.

RUMORS OF HIS WILLINGNESS TO SUR
RENDER DIsTRUsTED IN WASHINGTON.
Washington. Dec 6.-Reative to the rumor
from Hong Kong that Aguinaldo is willing 10
surrender to United States Consul Wildnan. at
Manila. II Is learned that though the Consul
himself has cherished that belief for some
months past the Government here has been
without any assurance OF the soundness of his
conclusion. Mr.. Wildman is not the only official
representing the United States in the Far East
who has expressed confidence in his ability to
persuade Aguinaldo to cease hostilties. but for
some reason the Administration has always been
sceptcal as to these undertakings. This report
from Hong Kong is believed to be nothing more
than a revival of some OF the old rumOrs.
