ment POsthumOus HOnOrs De-
manded for Friendly Chinese.

Washington Feb. 7.-The State Depart
meut has received the following report,
dated Feb 6. from United States Minister

"The foreign ministers held a confer
ence yesterday Qhe 5th) with the Chinese
plenipotentiaries, who presented the diff
culties in the way of the execution of the
three Chinese notables, Prince Tuan,
Prince Ian and Gen. Tung Fuh Suand.
They gave assurances of the execution of
Chuaug and Yu Hsien., but urged leniency
for the others, begging that the court be
not placed in a position too difficult. The
foreign ministers have agreed to demand
capital punishment for Tuan and Ian, but
with the expectation that it will be conn
muted to exile. They demand the death
penalty for the others also mentioned in
the decree-Yu Hsien, Chih Lieu and Hsu
Cheng Yu, the last two now being pris-
oners to the Japanese at Pekin. Postum
Gus honors also are demanded for the
four members of the Tsung- lily amen ex-
ecuted last summer"

the last named honors are peculiarly
Chinese. The four members of the Tsung-
li-Yameu referred to were strong sym
pathizers with the foreign element, and
their earnest pleas with the court for
moderation in the trea tment of the lega-
TONERS and the missionaries brought
about their execution. upon the demand
of some of the Chinese named in Mr..
Conger's dispatch.

LAST BLOWTO SILVER
VIM. j. BRYAN ON PENDING CUR.
RENCY MEASURES.
LAST ACT IN THE PROGRAMME
GIVES FINANCIERs CONTROL OF
NATIONAL DEBT.

Is No Necessity for RedemptiOn--Le-
gal Tender Law VIII Maintain
Parity-TO Make Silver Dollars Re-
deemabIe in Gold VIII Create An-
other Endless Chain--COnversiOn on
of Silver Dollars Into Subsidiary
Coin Equivalent TO the Retiremen Mt
of Silver as Standard Money.
Washington, Feb. 7.-Chairman South
ard of the House Committee on Coinage
to-day received from William ]. Bryan
the latter's view of the pending bills be-
fore the House making the standard sill
yer dollar redeemable in gold. Mr.. Bry-
an says in part:
''The bill has double purpose: To con-
vert standard silver dollars into subsid-
iary coin, and to make silver dollars re-
deemable in gold on demand.
There is no necessity for redemption.
The legal tender law will maintain the
parity between gold and silver dollars 50
long as both can be used to an unlimited
extent in the payment of public revenues
and private debts
redeemable in gold, another endless chain
will be created and the arguments used
against the greenbacks and treasury notes
will then be turned against silver.
''The measure gives to the financiers
absolute control over the national debt.
''The conversion of standard silver dol
lars into subsidiary coin is equivalent to
the retirement of silver as standard
money and this is the last act in the pro-
gramme instituted some twenty-seven
years ago and persistently pursued ever
since. If this is completed gold will be
the only legal tender money and bank
paper the only credit money.
THE proposed measure, by decreasing
the money of ultimate redemption and in
creasing the volume of promises to pay
money, still further enlarges the proper
ton between money and its substitutes;
this necessary adds to the risk OF the
business man and lessons the security OF
the general public.
IF, at any time, foreign complications
or panics compel a considerable exporta-
ton of gold the proportion between money
and its substitutes will be still further in
creased or an immense reduction will be
necessary in the volume of business"

pcned to Get Together.

Rome, FeP 7.-signor Caracoo rendered
the resignation of the cabinet this morn
ing.
King Victor Emmanuel will consult
with the President of the Chamber of Dep
uties and the various party leaders to-day
and tomorrow before designating a new
premier. He is confronted with a task
of great difficulty, owing to the chaotic
conditions of the parliamentary parties
The majority which defeated the govern
ment yesterday consisted of a transitory
coalition of the members of the Right and
the Left and the Rudini group support
ing the government, the Socialists Oppos-
ing the cabinet because they considered it
not sufficiently liberal, while the Right
lists accused it of lacking a coherent pol
icy and yielding TO the Socialists. The
fail of the ministry was thus due to
diametricaIy opposed reasons.
Yesterday coalition disappeared imme-
diately after the vote, the parties being
bitterly antagonistic as regards a general
policy so the first parliamentary CRISIS
the new King has to solve appears to be
a perfect Gordian knot.
