England's Coining Reply to
the Silver Envoys.
THE END IS ALREADY IN SIGHT
London Financiers Say That No Con
cessions Will Be Made The
Sealing Controversy.
New York, Oct. 8 A dispatch from
London to the Tribune saye :
The British government's answer to
the proposal of the United States and
France for bimetalism by international
agreement will probably be ready with
in a fortnight. Possibly it will be de
livered earlier, as there is evidence that
the ministry is disturbed by the pro
longation of the controversy over the
monetarv Question in the press and
wishes to put an end to it.
Two months ago they were strongly
disposed to make such concessions to
the United States and France as would,
have enabled these powers to convoke a
monetary conference. Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach obtained from the gov
ernor of the Bank of England a quali
fied assent to tbe convereion into silver
of one-fifth of the reserve for tbe re
demption of note issues.
Tbe Indian government was also con
sulted respecting the expediency of open
ing the mints to the tree coinage cf sil
ver. If the answer to that proposition
had been af favorable as the reply of the
governor of the Bank of England on the
minor point of a large use of silver in
the reserve, Senator Wolcott's mission
would have been completely successful
in opening the way for a new session of
the conference. That answer has not
yet been officially revealed, but it has
been received in London, and is believed
in diplomatic circles to be unfavorable
to the reopening of the Indian mints.
Not one word of this has yet appeared
in print, and no official confirmation of
it can be obtained, but it is currently re
pouted among the best informed finan
ciers that the Indian government has
advised against reopening the mints. If
this be true, and there are strong reasons
for believing that it is, the ministers
will not have the courage to act against
the advice of the Indian, but will sum
mon the French and American embass
adors and bimetalic envoys without de
lay and return a courteous but firm
answet to the proposal lor an inter
national agreement for tbe maintenance
of the par value of gold and silver.
Canada and Great Britain have refus
ed definitely to, take part in a sealing
conference, if representatives of Russia
and Japan are allowed to participate in
it. This matter was settled yesterday
and cannot be reopened. When the
diplomatic correspondence is publiahed
ic will be evident that the state depart'
meat has done everything in its power
to enable Canada and Great Britain to
attend the conference which was de
clared to be purely consultative and
which would have had no binding force
on any maritime power taking part in
it. Canada has interposed her veto, and
Great Britain on this subject has no
will of her own and has sanctioned it.
Lord Salisbury hiving revised the origi
nal invitation of last July at the instance
of Canada, now following the laad of
Ottawa in declining to meet Russia,
Japan and the United States in a friend
ly conference for determining whether
anything can be done for the protection
ot the fur seals.
No reasonable objection could be offer

"I was troubled with an Eczema or

ting a cure. Then I commenced using

Japanese representatives, but Canada
has adoyted a deferential tariff in favor
of the British traders, and her caprices
suffice to control the diplomacy of the
foreign office on American question.
The American 'embassador is still sent
to London in deference to tbe old time
neage. He might more properly be ac
credited to Ottawa, where the English
diplomatic policy on American questions
really has its origin.
Doubtless the American state depart
ment can have no option except to per
severe in a conference to which Russia
and Japan are invited. It can eubse
quently bold if it likes, a second or sup
plementary conference with Great Brit
ain and Canada, and open the way for a
revision of the existing regulations next
year. The holding of a second conference
is a question which will depend upon
the scientific information produced be'
fore the first conference.
If it be true, as the best experts in tbe
fur trade in London admit, that 89 per
cent of the valves now coming into this
market show gun shot holes and that the
bulk of them are the furs of female seals,
the speedy extinction of the herd cannot
long be deferred. If it . be true that
there are now only 100,000 seals breed
ing on the sea islands or other grounds
where there were once several millions
of them, the herd has already lost its
commercial value, and nothing short of
absolnte prohibition of pelagic fishing
for a decade or longer will restore it. A
second conference certainly will will be
superfluous if Canada be unwilling to
allow the suspension of pelagic sealing.
A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with a very severe cold that caused him
to be in a most miserable condition. It
was undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe
and recognizing it as dangerous he took
immediate steps to bring about a speedy
cure. From the advertisement of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and the many
good recommendations included therein,
we concluded to make a first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was satisfac
tory in its results, is putting it very
mildly, indeed. It acted like magic and
the result was a speedy and permanent
cure. We have no hesitancy in recom
mending this excellent Cough Remedy
to anyone afflicted with a con eh or cold
in any form. The Banner of Liberty,

life," said a middle-aged man the other
day.
"What a comfort it would be," sighs
some poor invalid, "to be in his place
for a year or two." Yet half of the in
valids we see might be just as healthy
as he, it they would only take poorer
care of themselves, eat proper food
and digest it.
It's so strange that such simple things
are overlooked by those who want health
Food makes health.
It makes strength and strength wards
off sickness. The man who bad never
been sick was strong because he always
digested his food, and you could become

Honolulu, Oct 3. The supreme court
has affirmed the decision of the lower
court in the case of tbe steamship China,
and Yesterday G. W. MacFarlane se
cured Hawaiian register for the vessel.
Now that the China case has been dis
posed of, the Paelfic Mail Company will
send over the Baracouta, now plying be
tween Central American ports, aud will
make application for Hawaiian register
for her. The Baracouta is now under a
conditional register exactly the same as
the China had, having been issued at
London on the same date aud exactly
the same circumstances. There is no
doubt that the. Barocouta will get her
register. Cbarlane, who is her flag-
owner says she will come here next
month.
