Silver Discussion.

/ AT coming session of the Ameri
can Mining Congress to be held a
! Goldfield New, in September, notet
men in the nations Industrial ant
political life will engage in a discus
sion of the relation of the value O.
silver to ehe adjustment of trade re
lations with silver using countries
and of giving to silver as money
such extended use ari stability OF
price as will greatly reduce, if not
entirely eliminate, the high margin
of exchange Oriental silver must now
pay for our gold.
These phases of the silver question
have No relation to the Free Silver
doctrines so prominent in national
politics in the nineties. At that time
American bankers and business men,
so thoroughly averse to the use of
silver in measuring values, sought to
relegate all discussion of the silver
question, but III the light of more re.
cent years, when our trade is in such
dire peril of being swept from the
Orient, when manufacturing indus
tries are being transported bodily to
LAsiaStic countries where cheap silver
purchases cheap labor, there arises
an imminent necessity for such ad-
justment of trade relations as will en-.
able the merchants supplying more
n hn1 hn httr, t,,,-
American products on a gold basis.
From time immemorial the money
of two-thirds of the worlds people
was silver. Formerly these people
were not considered as important fac
tors in the business of manufactur-
ing countries, but now the merchant
sees in them his most fertile field
for trade. Yet these markets are clos
ing because of the low fluctuating
price of silver with it's consequent
prohibitive rate of exchange with
gold.
The American Mining Congress is
launching this movement with the
feeling that America should be on the
alert in the fight for commercial
supremacy which is now centering
| around the Pacific, and it is intended
that the discussion of this question
at its meeting will develop a memo
rial to be presented to the national
congress setting forth the necessity
of such adjustment as will remove
this embargo upon American indus.
| tries.
The United States is at the same
time one of the principal silver pro
ducing countries, and China and India
most largely import their bullion from
us. An extended use of silver, which
would be followed by an enhanced
price, would enable America to as
sumo a commanding position with
reference to Oriental trade.
No more important question coult
be taken up for consideration by the
american Mining Congress, and the
discussion of the subject by such
men as Sir Moreton Frewen. the emf
nent English economist, John Hays
Hammond, James ]. Hill and others
ought to result in its being brought
forcihly to the attention of tn,
national congress.

AMENDMENT TO MEET DISABILITY
 OF GOVERNORS
House Receives Favorable Report on Bill to Enable Lieutenant Governor - Other Business.
Special from United Press.)

Hartford, May 25-In the House to- day a constitutional amendment which will make it impossible for any such
 contingency as arose when Governor Lilley became incapacitated to serve, to come into existence in the future, was reported by the committee on Con- stitutional Amendments and was ta- bled for the calendar. It adds the words inability to serve" to the para graph of the constitution which says under what circumstances the Lieu tenant Governor may take the place of the Governor.
 Among the favorable reports were the right to the city of South Norwalk to issue s5o,OO0 worth of park bonds and condemn land for park purposes; a $100 900 issue of street paving bonds for the city of New Haven; a bill which removes the chiefs of the fire and police departments in New Haven from the civil service commission; an amendment to the Meriden charter giv- ing justices of the peace the right to sit in the City court; and a bill which requires any package of print butter to weigh 15 1-2 ounces.
 The unfavorable reports included a bill which made the janttor of the po- lice building in New Haven a subject for a pension from the police pension fund; and a measure which would make the payment of a poll tax the requisite before a voter would be all lowed to vote. Both the measures were rejected.
 Just before adjournment Fisk of Branford made desperate effort to get favorable action upon the appoint ment of his candidate for the Branford town judgeship. John B. Thomas Chairman Burnes of the Judiciary committee was not present at the time and there was by no means a quorum present. MT. Fisk who sits far over on the Democratic side of the House. changed his position to one near the Judiciary committee and called the matter from the foot of the calendar and moved that the favorable report of the committee which was turned down in the Senate, be accepted and the resolution passed. He then re- turned to his own seat and later on answered Representative Bush of Or ange who moved the recommitment of the resolution from there. MT. Fisk said that one of the largest town meetings Branford has ever held re- gently voted unanimously in favor of MT Thomas appointment. Before final action was taken on the matter the House was adjourned on motion of Dormitzer of WoOdbury.

Hall of Wilmington Leads Opposition to Burnes- Democratic Leader Hig- gins, Chandler of Rocky Hill and Bishop of New Haven Ably Assist = Wasn't Necessary to Make a Count.
By our Staff Corespondent.)

By our Staff Correspondent.) Hartford, May 25.-The House today gave Leader Burnes sharp rebuke by overwhelmingly defeating the resolu- tion offered by him limiting future speeches upon all matters pertaining to legislation to five minutes. Burnes in support of his resolution said it was customary for Legislatures at this stage of the proceedings to restrict the time of speakers in order to expedite the business of the session. He said that at the present rate of unlimited talk adjournment would not be possi- ble before Labor Day.
 A storm of protest swept through the
 House in opposition to the resolution. Hall of Wilmington denounced it as dangerous practice. It was intended to choke off discussion on the most important measures that would be en- acted by this Legislature. He said it was notorious that many of the most important bills passed by the House were rushed through at the eleventh hour and at the last minute. The pub lie utilities bill, he said, was a matter which would come before the House propose to support any such legislation as this, which would prevent a full and free discussion of that important mat ter.
 Hall was strongly supported by Rep resentatives Whiton, Bishop of New Haven, Higgins, the Democratic leader. of Winchester, and Chandler of Rocky Hill.> Chandler, upon a question of in formation addressed to the Speaker, e1icited the reply that if the resolution passed it would require a two-thirds vote before 1t could be suspended if it was thought expedient to do so. A motion to table the resolution was lost. By 8. vote in which the "noes" rang out in clear defiant tones it was de- clared defeated.
 Subsequently it was said by members of the House that the real reason for introducing a resolution of this kind was to benefit the opponents of the public utilities measure who are fear full of the outcome of a full and free discussion of the merits of that bill 11pon the floor of the House
