HALF 11 SILVER LOAF
Better Than No Bread, So
American Monetary Dele
gates Will Perhaps
AGREE TYlTH BOTHSOHILD.
TThy
Monometallists Find It Advis
able to Make Concessions.
GERMANY AND FRANCE IN LINE,
And It Now Looks as if an Agreement Will
-Really Be Beached.
HEIfEI CLEWS LIKES THE PROSPECTS
Brussels, Nov. 29. The American
delegates to the Monetary Conference have
itrong reasons to be satisfied with the
recognition by the advocates of mono
metallism of the seriousness of the dangers
arising irom a further fall in silver. They
are disposed to support Mr. de Bothsohlld's
proposals, on the principle that half a loaf
is better than no bread. The Indian dele
gates are also pleased with the proposals,
as they will assist the conclnsions of the
Indian Currency Committee. Their ac
ceptance will tree India from the fear of a
large tall in silver.
The American delegates believe that the
continuous absorption of 30,000,000 ounces
of silver by the European powers would
bring about artificially a condition of the
silver market which international bi-metal-lism
could establish permanently.
The committee appointed yesterday to
consider the proposals of Mr. de Boths
cnild includes, with others, Henry W.
Cannon, of the United States; Alfred de
Bothschild, of Great Britain, and M.
Montefiore Levi, President oi the Confer
ence. The committee will oonsider the
plans suggested by M. Levi and Prof.
Adolph Soetbeer.
What Prot Soetoeer's Plan Is.
Prof. Soetbeer's plan is to establish one
gramme ol fine gold as the international
unit of value, and to stop the minting ot
coins containing less than 5.7065 grammes
ol pure gold. The circulation of coins of
foreign countries of less than the new
standard will be prohibited by the coun
tries signing the agreement, and gold eoin
of inferior value will be withdrawn within
five years. Private individuals will be al
lowed to coin gold upon the payment of
an agreed seignorage. Gold certificates
may be issued against gold held in reserve.
Prof. Soetbeer's plan also includes the coin
age of silver in the proportion of 20 value
units of that metal to 1 of gold, but private
individuals will not be allowed free coinage
of silver.
It is the general expectation that M. de
Botbchild's proposals will be accepted by
the committee and then referred for adop
tion or rejection to the conference and the
Governments represented, with modifica
tions suggested by the schemes of M. Levi
and Proi. Soetbeer. One of the modifica
tions will undoubtedly be that all gold
coins below the value of 20 francs be with
drawn lrom circulation and replaced by
silver notes.
France and Germany Fall In Line.
The adhesion of the German delegates is
now considered certain, as Herr Decbend,
formerly President ot the Beichshank, ap
proved the main lines of Prof. Soetbeer's
proposal. The French representatives will,
also, support the plan of Prof. Soetbeer,
which was communicated by M. Tirard,
French ex-Minister of Finance. The plan
was favorably received by all the French
delegates betore it was submitted to the
conference.
With the prospect of an agreement being
achieved, nobodv talks of the failure of the
conference, which at first was the only pre
diction made. So rapidly has the optimistic
feeling grown, that it is reported that the
conterence is likely to conclude its labors
next week.
A dispatch from .New York sava: Alfred
de Bothchild's proposals are received with
both approval and condemnation bv New
York financiers. President J. Edward
Simmonds, of the Fourth National Bank,
said to-day:
Lookingat it as it is now published, I am
led to believe that the scheme is not a good
one lor the United States. While all the
European powers combined would buy 6.000,.
000 pounds of oilver. or about 3d; 000 000
ounce", we, a single nation, would be bound
to buy twice as much each year. That would
be throwing too heavy a burden upon ns,
and the advantage would all be on the other
side.
Henry Clews Is Pleased TVIth the Flan.
On the other hand Henry Clews said:
The step proposed by Mr. de Rothschild is
one in the rurht direction, I think. Its im
mediate effect upon money ltsell would not
be so great, but the moral effect would be
most important. Should the governments
ot Europe asrree to buy 5,000,000 pounds or
silver yearly for live years, it would indi
cate that they understand America's situa
tion and are anxious to help her as much as
is in their power. Therefore, after they had
committed themselves to such a theory,
they would be obliged to stick to it, and,
when the necessity came, to go even fur
ther than they propose now. It would be an
indorsement ot only an actual relier for the
piesent. The European powers most cer
tainly should come to the relief of the sil
ver market at the present time. They have
taken tremendous quantities of gold for use,
and we have not objected. They have sent
back all the silver they oould to our already
oret crowded maiket, and we have taken no
decisive steps to prevent their accumulating
the yellow metal.
We have enough gold left, but if Europe
continues to drain tho lite blood and retnse
to meet u hall way now, or assist us, it will
be time for us to show what we can do. We
have the power to s:e"t our gold back. We
can force her to disgorge and send back $2
In gold for every $1 she takes out. We
have our high credit and unequaled re
sources, and can ruin any of the great
powers England, Germany, France or Aus
tri if they continue this greedy game of
getting and hoarding all the gold in sight.

DE LESSEPS WON'T TESTIFY.
Sensational Evidence Taken In the Panama
Canal Directory Investigation.
Paeis, Nov. 29. M. Charles de Les
aeps, Vice Chairman of the Board ot Direc
tors of the Panama Canal Company, and
M. Marine Fontanes and Baron Cotta, mem
bers of the board, refused to-day to give
testimony before the committee. The re
fusal of M. de Xesseps and Baron Cotta to
testify before the committee is based upon
the ground of their absence from Paris. M.
Fontanes' refusal is based upon the ground
that he is one of the defendants in the
legal prosecution of the Panama Canal di
rectors. The committee examined a number of
witnesses this afternoon. M. Laguerre
testified that M Arton had spent 300,000
francs in political objects in behalt ot the
Panama Canal Companv. The witness ad
mitted, however, that he had nothing to
prove the truth of what he said. M.
Propper, a partner in the Beinach banking
house, said the late Barou Beinaoh had
furnished M Arton with 1,000,000 francs in
1888. The announcement was made this
evening that the public prosecutor had re
fused to submit to the Investigating Com
mittee the documents connected with the
prosecution of the Panama Canal directors,

A strong feeling in favor of M. Brisson pre

spoke of France as a Bepnblic ol thieves

The remark caused an uproar, and the
speaker was at once called to order by the

that the French Government will call the
Austrian Government to account for the in

Supreme Honor Paid to the Chairman of a
Successful Campaign.
Philadelphia, Novv 2a William F.
Harrity, who has been a prominent figure
in the eyes of the people of the whole coun
try for months past, was the recipient of
supreme honor at his home this evening in
the lorm of a public reception tendered him
by bis fellow citizens of Philadelphia. The
Academy of Music, the largest publio place
in the city, was engaged for the
occasion, and long before the
hour announced for the commencement
of the ceremonies the three large galleries
were packed with people anxiously await
ing the appearance "of the guest of the even
ing. From 8 o'clock until after 11 a steady
stream of people passed in double file be
fore Mr. Harrity, and each received a
heartv shake of the hand and a pleasant
word from the successful chairman of the
late campaign.
Much enthusiasm was manifested by
those in the gallery when Mr. Harrity
stepped into view and took his position on
the stage, and the shouting and cheers were
repeated to an even greater degree when
Governor Pattison, accompanied by mem
bers of his staff, appeared in the line and
passed before Mr. Harrity. The Governor
passed, and while he held the hand of his
Secretary of State, uttered a graceful com-
Eliment. The spectators of this little scene
ecame very enthusiastic, and a man in the
gallery called for "three cheers for the next
President," a cry that was taken up and
repeated all over the house.
Earlier in the evening Mr. Harrity char
acterized as absurd the statement that he
was to participate in a conference with
some leading Democrats, including Sena
tor Gorman and Speaker Crisp. "There
will be no conference to-night, to-morrow,
or at any other time," said Mr. Harrity
emphatically, and his manner more than
his words indicated that as far as he was
concerned political conferences were alto
gether out of the question.

A Big Stretch of Ocean Front Being
Washed Away by the Waves.
Long Bbanch, N. J., Nov. 29. A
severe storm accompanied by a heavy gale
has prevailed all day along the coast and
done considerable damage. About a dozen
of the iron piling of the iron pier were
broken loose and washed away. In front of
S. L. Cohen's cottage on Morris avenue,
there is a wash of about 50 feet wide ana
70 feet in length. Cohen's cottage had to
be propped np to keep it from toppling
down the embankment.
On Chelsea avenue, between Troutman'i
drugstore and the Mansion House, there is
a wash of about 30 feet. From the United
States Hotel to Morris avenue, about one
eighth of a mile, the avenue has been
washed away. In front of the Brighton
Hotel the surf is cutting away the bluff
badly, and if the storm continues through
the night it is believed the surf will wash
everything away to the steps of the hotel.

PEOPLE CRAZED AT NIAGARA FALLS
rEPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
New York, Nov. 29. According to
Prof. Jacoby, of Columbia College, there
are now no less than seven comets visible.
This, he says, is, so far as he has had any
information or experience, the largest num
ber on record. "They are all telescopic
comets, however," he said to-day. "They
are the Holmes comet, which has received
so much attention of late; Freeman's comet,
which is the latest discovered; Swift's
comet, discovered last summer; Winnecke's
comet, an old one which appears regularly
at intervals of five to eight years; Denning's
comet, another new one; Brooks' comet, and
Barnard's comet, which is still another new
one and so indistinct as to be barely visible
with the large telescopes. It was discov
ered through the agency of photography by
Prof. Barnard.
"Astronomers are watching Freeman's
comet with great interest. At first it was
very close to Holmes' comet, and traveled
in the same direction. It was discovered
November 24 by Prof. Barnard, at Brighton,
England. Cloudy weather has so far pre
vented us from taking an observation of the
new comet. Astronomers surmise that Free
man's pomet is a fragment of Biela's comet,
which disintegrated about 0 years ago.
Awaiting a Clear Night
"We are anxiously awaiting a clear night,
so that we may take an observation and de
termine whether its orbit is the same as
that laid down for Biela's. The comet at
first supposed to be Biela's, and which was
discovered by Prof. Holmes, has been
found to be entirely new, and has been
christened after its discoverer. It is now
duly catalogued, and its orbit is established.
I think a great deal too much was said and
written about the Holme3 comet. It is
now moving steadily away from us in an
orbit that will take it at least seven
years to travel around the earth. It
will never come near us. We were unable
to take observations last Sunday night,
when showers of meteors were expected,
because of the cloudy weather. The me
teors seen last week are undoubtedly debris
of the Biela comet, such as is met with
each time the earth crosses the orbit of the
lost comet. The new comet, discovered by
Freeman, is traveling ill a southerly di
rection, so far as we have received reports.
At the last observation from which we
have heard it was still in the constellation
of Andromeda, and, so far as could be de
termined, was traversing the identical
track laid down for Biela's comet"
Crazy Folks at Niagara Falls.
A special from Niagara Falls says: The
comet scare has reached this end of the
State. A farmer named Andrews, residing
three miles up the river, known for his
closeness in money matters, drew all his
money from the bank and spent as much of
it as he could. He distributed the rest
among his sons and daughters, with the ad
monition to "blow it in," for the comet
would wipe them all out of existence
before Monday morning. To-day it is
feared he will go crazy over the fail
ure of the celestial wanderer
to do his dire work. Instances of
people engaging in prayer Sunday night
are numerous, and crowds stayed out most
of the night to witness the meteorio display
which was promised, but failed to material
ize owiug to the cloudy condition of the
heavens. One weak-minded woman, the
wife of a farmer named Strubel, in Porter,
became insane. A little negro boy in the
tunnel district here was tormented and
frightened by a gantr of hoodlums until he
hid himself in an old cellar and was found
shivering and chattering in an idiotic way.
SOME I0FTY H0U3TAIN LAKES.
The Highest Situated Is Lake Manasaro vara
In the Himalayas.
Chicago Herald.j
The most loftily situated lakes are found
among the Himalaya Mountains in Thibet.
Their altitudes do not, ho'wever, seem to
have been very accurately gauged, for dif
ferent authorities give widely different fig
ures regarding, them. According to some,
Lake Manasarovara, one of the sacred lakes
of Thibet, is between 19,000 and 20,000 feet
above the level of the sea, and it this is so
it is undoubtedly the loftiest lake in the
world.
Two other Thibetan lakes, those of Chata
moo and Surakoi, are stated to be 17,000
and 15,400 feet in altitude respectively. For
a long time it was supposed that Lake
Titicaca, in South America, was the loftiest
in the world. It covers about 4,500 square
miles, is 924 feet in its greatest depth and
is 12,000 feet above the sea. In spite of in
exactitude with regard to the measurements
of the elevation of the Thibetan lakes, they
are no doubt considerably higher than this
or any others.
HATED HIS OWN CHILD.
An Unnatural Passion That Has Made John
Herbert a Wife Murderer.
SnAMOKIN, Nov. 29. Special John
Herbert was to-day found in his home by
Charles Kantner, groceryman, strangling
his wife. He had forced her to the floor
and his hands were tightly clasped about
her neck. Kantner leaped at the man and
kicked him on the head, knocking him
senseless. Then Kantner bundled the un
conscious woman into a wagon and drove
her to town.
After hard work the doctors resuscitated
her. She told them that when she gave
birth to a daughter, one year ago, her hus
band showed dislike to it and frequently
abused the child. Just before Kantner
came In to-day Herbert was beating the
baby. His wife took it from him, when he
began to choke her. She is now in a criti
cal condition. Herbert fled to the hills.

Advocated by General Porter, Who Thinks
His Work Has Been Vindicated.
Washington, Nov. 29. Census Super
intendent Porter, in bis annual report,
strougly urges that the census ofiic; be
made a permanent bureau of the Interior
Department. Mr. Porter refers to the com
plaints against the accuracy of the eleventh
census, especially ot crtain cities, and
says the work of the enumerators has been
vindicated by time.
The cost of the work of taking the cen
sus amounted to f8,203,693. It is stated
that the infinite detail of the office makes it
impossible to foretell the date ot the actual
completion of the whole work.
