WasmiNGrox, July G~ What of tho night?” said a reporter to General A. J. Warner, president of the American Bimet- allic league. General Warnersaid: “I see that the legis- lative council of India has decided to receive sovereigus at the treasury of India without -the limit in exchange for rupees, but not Bunk of England notes, nor will they pay out gold for rupees. The coun il has also carefully abstained from making gold a legal tender. If it should do so Europe would rapidly be drained of its gold to settle balunces due to India. The policy, therefore, is simply to_sell council bills, which are drafts on the Indian treasury for rupees, for gold and then to buy silver on government account at the ratio fixed in council and from this silver coin rupees with which to meet any excess of drafts over the tax collections of the Indian treasury. “‘We may look for purchases of silver on account of the Indian government at any time. In fact, that government has adopted u sort of a Bland law, excepting that it has fixed the ratio at 21}¢ for converting rupees into silver. “If the mints of the west remain closed for any length of time silver will rise as the result’ of purchases by our government and on acco of India.” Questioned as to the alleged purpose of the silver convention, which is to meet in Chicago August 1, to pass a resolution favor- ing the demonetization of ,gold, Mr. Warner said: I know nothiwsof @ purpose to in- troduce such a bill. If the monometa insist on a subversion of etallism by de- monetizing the only métul:which can bo pro- duced in sufficient quangities to maintain stable ralations betyeen monev, subply. population and business, apd if they persist in their eovident inteéntion to aestroy the antomatic regulation oSanoney through: the ‘mines, they need not be surprised at u spon- taneous movement to demonetize the other metal anda transfer the control of money from the mints to legislation.” It is now stated vhat silver men play a part in the selection of a speaker. The an- nouucement that there is a possibility that Mr. Bland, the chumpion of silver, may be chairman of the committee on coinage, weights and measures, has stivred them to renewed efforts. Stories of an at- tempted combine between the free silver advocates and the populists to place a can date for the speakershipan the field, unless they have the assurance of Mr. Crisp that Mr. Blund will be retained at the head of the committee, are floating about, but are not generally credited, for though it is openly said by some that Mr. Bland will not in be chairman of the committee there no facts that would warrant such an rtion. M, Crisp has not even intimated such a thing. Among the more conservative the impres- sion is that Mr. Bland will head the commat- tee. This would not, however, indicate that the eutire committee 1 remain. If Mr, Bland is chairman it is to be expected that the makeup of the committee will be so changed that a majority, at least, wiil be for the repcal of the purchase clause in the Sherman law. It is known that Mr. Crisp has made no pledges one way or the other that this one would be retained or another be given a chairmanship. Senator Harris, president pro tem of the. senate, suys there will be no filibustering in the senat zainst the bill to repeal the Sherman law. UNABLE TO SECURE CASH.
