REPORT DELIVERED
 TO AMBASSADOR
FRENCH MONETARY COMMISSION FAvORS THE PRINCIPLE OF THE GOLD STANDARD FOR ALL SILL vER-usiNG COUNTRIES.

Paris. August 26.--The report of the French commission appointed to eorfer with the United States monetary ex- change commissioners, has been delivered to Ambassador Portet It contains a note from Foreign Minister Delcasse, show ing France is not prepared to express binding conclusions until she has consult ed with other powers.
 The report endorses the principle of a gold standard for China and other sll- ver-using countries, but it points out that the plan is practicable only when judic- ious control of the coinage Is had by the government and through the creation of an adequate gold reserve It favors coinage ratio for the orient, fixing the face value of silver slightly above its bullion value, similar to the American system in the Philippines. The French commission makes reservations upon the proposed regular purchases of silver on the ground that 1t Is impossible to foresee the country's needs for subsidiary and colonial coinage. The semi-official advices from Russia indicate that the commis- sion appointed by Finance Minister Witte has made a similar conclusion.
 The French and Russians considered it preferable to establish uniform system In China by beginning on silver basis and afterwards raising 1t to fixed gold value, than to begin on gold standard immediately.

One thousand feet below the central cone Of Vesuvius the volcano opened like huge mouth. out of which belched forth stream of lava which ran down the mountain side and at first seemed to menace the observatory This belching, however, Is protected in the direction of the stream by a mound of lava two hundred feet high. The eruption occurred without any warning whatever. There was no earthquake, detonation, or rain of ashes, nothing but a clear stream of lava and red hot stones, which were thrown to a height of seven hundred feet producing an extremely beautiful scene from Naples. The stream of lava

noon. The line of argument of the de- fense counsel is that Youtsey, of his own volition, did the killing and that their client had no connection whatever fur ther than to take the mountain men to Frankfort to petition the general assem- bly,.
 Attorney Hendrick took the position early in his argument that Youtsey and Howard were but weak tools in the hands of Taylor, Powers and Finlay, and that they were leaders in the conspiracy. He urged the infliction of capital pun ishment in this case, even though How ard, convicted of firing the shot. was only sentenced to Imprisonment for life in the state penitentiary. Hendrick scored former Governor Taylor for hid- ing in Indiana, and sending his deposi- tions into court here.
