CONSERVAT\VZ VIEWS ON SILVER COINAGE Not a Matter to Be Disposed of Lightly, but One Deeply Affecting the Com- merclaland Agricultural inter= ests of the Country, (Copyright, 189, by Press Publishing Company.) LONDON, June 20.—(New York World Cablegram—Special — Telegram.)—Doubtless the question In the coming general election of most interest to us will be the influence of the result upon an international monetary conference, should it be called this year by Germany, by the United States, or any other government—that Is to say, its Influence upon Great Britain's attitude in that conference. It the liberals secure a ma, rity in the next Parliament it may be accepted as almost cer- tain that the instructions to the English dele- gates will be as at Brussels, hostile to any international bimetallic agreement. Sir Wil- llam Harcourt will doubtless dominate the financial policy of the next liberal govern- ment, and he is uncompromisingly in favor of the single gold standard; in fact, there is not a single leader, 5o far as known, who favors any change from Great Britain's present policy: But, it the unionists come in, there Is a strong probability that the delegates will have quite different instructions from those + Brussels, if even the instructions are not directly In favor of an agreement, including England, if it can be made practicable. PRESENT GOVERNMENT IS FAVORABLE 4 The question will probably cut no figure in the campaign. The unionist leaders will not venture to antagonize the anti-silver senti- ment in London, which sends fifty-nine mem- .. bers to Parliament, but two of the most in- fluential members of the unionists govern- ment, Mr. Balfour and Mr. Chaplin, are pro- nounced bimetalliste. Mr. Goschen is be- lleved, on written authority, to be of an open mind on the question, while Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the new chancellor of the ex- chequer, has recently expressed the opinion that an international attempt “to diminish the use of gold in coinage and increase the use of silver” would be of advantage to the world. This certainly can oaly be construed a8 an expression favorable to an international bimetallic agreement, although he coupled it with a warning against any but the most careful interference with the present cur- rency system. As Sir Michael will certainly be again chancellor, which office corresponds . with our secretary of the treasury, if the unionists come in, and as Mr. Balfour will ‘be equally certain to warmly advocate a bi- metallic agreement on the part of the govern- ment, of which he will be the real leader, , the exact words of Sir Michael on this sub- ‘ Ject will be of great interest in America. The occaslon was the annual banquet of the Bristol Chamber of Commerce on the eve of May 1, last, and I find practically a verbatim report In the Bristol Mirror of the following morning. It is a curious fact that no Lon- “don paper has yet alluded to this speech in i comments on the new ministry. Sir Michael had discussed at length the ) depression of English manufacturing, as well . a8 agricultural interests, and expressed the feur that competition from the United States, India and Japan might hereafter be then more prejudicial than now to England’s manu- factured as well as her agricultural products, During the dinner he continued that the mayor of Bristol and he had a little per- sonal discussion on bimetallism, APPROACH IT CAUTIOUSLY. He would simply say that he did not think there was any more abstruse or more diffi- cult question than that connected with the currency. They thought those matters on which in party politics they differed of grave moment, and so they were, but he would venture to tell them that a mistake in dealing with the currency in this country might inflict ruin upon this country as much as any political change that we had in con- templation at the present time could inflict, therefore he was surprised at the facility with which many gentlemen who he did not think had studied this matter more carefully than he had done, pronounced their opinions for or against monometallism or bimetallism, as if they were able masters of the subject. He would tell them this, he did not believe there was a single man in England who could with any certainty fore- east what effect a change in our currency might have on the fortunes of this country. The politician in active life who was to his mind best qualified from experience and abllity to express an oplnion on this subject was Mr. Goschen. There was no man who had been more difident In expressing an oplnion at all, and therefore he would not pretend to dogmatize himself on so grave and dificult a matter. What he would say was this: He thought it was proved that gold had appreciated in recent years, He thought it clear that the appreciation of gold In the main was an injury to the coun- try, and he should like to see an Interna- tional attempt, for o only could it be suc- ceseful, to diminish the use of gold in coin- ago and increase the use of silver (“Hear,” not been a time with which Englishmen were Incompetent to deal. Mr, Lorin Lathrop, United States consul at Bristol, having made sir Michael’s speech, he agaln rose, saying that he * d the representative of the United States was unable to appreciate his exact po- sition on the subject of bimetallism, but he gathered from the observations of that gen- tleman that his would like to sell some of surplus silver. That being so It would be wiser on his own part, as a rep- representative of the country which might be the buyer, to decline to engage in any further discussion.” (“Hear.” ‘“Hear.") In a note recently received by the World correspondent from Mr. Henry Chaplin, through his secretary, the new president of the local government board says: “Mr. Chap- lin is unw lling make any statement the free silver question in the United States now. He not but is rather inclined to favor separate ac on the pirt cf the Un'ted States LIBERALS MAY YET TRIUMPH The dissolution of Parliament is now fixed for Juiy 8. The elections will all be held within three weeks thereafter, and the new Parliament will commence in August. There | 18 really extraordinary doubt as to the result, for while I find the liberal leaders in private conversation disposed to admit defeat, even the most sanguine of the unionists are not claming more than forty majority in a house of 670 members as an outside. But I think as a careful observer I see no undoubted evidence that the liberals will be defeated at all, but quite the contrary. In spite of the fact that the liberal party is made up of a dozen or more factions, with sometimes quite diverse interests; in spite of the fact that their great leader has absolutely retired from active political life and was eucceeded by a member of the very body for the prac- tical abolition of which the liberal party s pledged and has been, moreover, on terms of hardly concealed hostility with the leader of the House of Commons; in spite of the fact that the Irish contingent has lost its chief incentive for support in at least the tem- porary shelving of ome rule, and of number- less pers and political disappointments and the grievances of other members, the liberals have only lost an aggregate of five seats In three years since the last election, Thero is beyond this loss no obvious proof whatever that the liberal party has lost the confidence of the country. If Redmond's Irish band, for apparently selfish purposes, had not deserted to the tories, the liberal government would likely fave remained in power until it had passed through the House every one of the great measures it had in- troduced, and would, moreover, have made such a case against the House of Lords that the country would have adopted the proposed measure for the abolishing of its veto, thus making home rule for Ireland a possibility. PROBABLE IRISH CHANGES. The Irish leaders now seem abolute’y confi- dent of securing five seats from the Red- mondites, including Waterford city and East Clare, for which the Redmond brothers them- some reference to regret country its to on has considered it sufficiently, selves sit. The Redmondites, on the other hand, are certain to win West Wicklow if they can, as in Cork city, secure the union- {st vote, while they have a chance of win ning Kilkenny city, both at present McCar. thyite seats. In Ulster the McCarthyites calculate certainly on winning three seats from the unionists, while they have a good chance of capturing two more. Assuming these expectations to be realized, they would return eighty strong, while the Redmondites could only have six instead of nine members, as now. The statement was circulated that Thomas Sexton intends retiring from public life at the general election. As he Is virtually leader of the McCarthyite party and unsurpassed in the House of Commons, on parliamentary aptitude, knowledge and abllity, his resigna- tion would be a great calamity for the Irish cause. The World correspondent saw Sex- ton today and Inquired as to the truth of the report. He was very reticent and had evidently been subjected to a strong pressur from hLis colleagues to reconsider his resolu- tion to retire, He seems to have been d's- gusted by the squabbling of the Irish par and by the determined efforts of Healyites in the party to thwart every attempt to advance the cause of unity. Mr. Sexton has not taken a partisan line in these feuds, though he has found himself driven o oppose all dis integrating efforts by his interest in the welfare of home rule. He has practizally borne the whole brunt of parliamentary work in the party, representing it on every important committee and treating on its be- halt with the late legislation ministers on the Irish question. Never robust in health this work has told severely on him, and he does not see why he should wear ont his Ife working at a thankless task. However, though he would not directly admit it, the World correspondent belleves that his de- termination to retire has been much weak- ened by the powerful protest evoked through- out Ireland by the mention of it. ANOTHER MARRIAGE THAT FAILED. Preliminary application will be made be- fore Sir Francis Jeune next Monday in the suit for a judiclal separation brought by Mrs. Craigie, the brilliant American woman whose novels, issued under the nom de plume of Jokn Oliver Hobbs, have a wide circula- tion and public esteem perhaps not equalled in England since Dickens. She asks for the custody of one child of her marriage. Mrs, Craigle is the daughter of John Morgan Rich- ard, formerly of New York, but for several seasons in business in London. He s un- derstood to have a large income and his daughter lives with him In a large house in Lancaster Gate, where they entertain lavishly. She is a favorite in London society, among her intimate friends being the prin- cess of Teck, the mother of the duchess of York, who often makes Mr. Richard's home her stopping place when coming up to Lon- don for a night. Mrs. Craigie was married to an Englishman elght years ago, and separated from her husband, who is an officer in the Bank of England within a year. Under the British law she Is entitled to the custody of the child until he is 7 years old, and as he is now arriving at that age she instituted the suit to secure charge “hear.), Ho thought that with the in- | ge pim until he Is 21, as her husband noti- E greased production of gold that they now | geq her he Intended to elaim him forthwith, . saw In West Australa and South Africa [ mye grounds on which Mrs, Craigie relles such an attempt might really have a very | oo yoparation are understood to be of a great effeot in stopping at any rate the | b PO gurther appreciation of gold, and he believed widowed countess of Cottenham, a ¢ it that could be done it would e a great dsome woman and a notable figure In public advantage. fashionable society, has just given her friends ENGLAND WILL SOLVE IT. a profound surprise by joining the Catholic Further than that he was not prepared to | church, together with her daughter, Lady 4 g0 and after what he had sald they would | Mary Pepys, a girl of 1S.

The theaters and other places of amusement are alsd feeling the effect of the clouds which are sweeping over society, and the attendance at even the most attractive houses has already decreased to a noticeable degree, On all sides the agents of both parties are actively preparing for the fray. The rust is being rubbed off the time-worn suits of political armor and all the old weapons of a British elcctoral campaign are nished up to the highest polish. season and the Primrose league is preparing to rally to the standard of the marquis of Salisbury the army of torles, eager for the battle, the result of which fs looked upon as certain to be a victory for conservatiem The campaign will begin in deadly earnest next week, when Lord Rosebery will fire the first battery of big guns for the liberals in his speech at Royal Albert hall, South Ken- sington, and the same day Sir William Vernon Harcourt, ex-chancellor of the exchequer, will pour hot shot into the tory ranks in an address which he is to deliver at Derby, the seat which he has represented in Parliament since 1880. Following the booming of these heavy pieces of political artillery will be heard a fierce reply from the batteries of some of the leaders of the conservative unionist par including the marquis of Salisbury, Hon. A. . Chamberlain, now Irish nationalists, Rt Balfour and Rt. Hon. Joseph dubbed “‘Judas’ and then firing by the will be taken up along the lines of both the libral | and conservative forces, and the engagement will become general. Every man on each side who can be expected to win a vote by a speech will be called upon to do o, and a hot exchange of recriminations will fill the air until the polling clears away the smoke of battle. QUEEN IS GREATLY PLEASED. Vanity Fair says it is understood that the queen is greatly pleased at the change of government and she hopad that a very solid and able minister would be selected to con- trol the admiralty department as first lord of the admiralty. Her majesty has recertly been devoting much att:ntion to the British navy and to the relative strength of the navies of the world. Cuttings from various newspapers commenting upon the subject are collected, and these, with the opinions of experts, are read to the queen, who lis- tens most attentively and has notes made for future reference. azrullah Khan, the Afghan visitor who has attracted o much attention in the pr and elsewhere, has taken great interest in the change of ministry and is sald to have been quite sorry that the earl of Kimberly, ex-secretary of state for foreign affairs, has lost his portfolio. This solicitude upon the part of Nazrullah for the earl is due to the fact that the latter has been untiring in his efforts to make the prince’s visit a pleasant one, and has o far succesded in smoothing over the little unpleasantnesses which have so frequently cropped up since the ameer's son landed on these shores. There is no doubt that the earl or his agents deserve great credit, for a more difficult person to please than Nazrullah Khan never set foot on British soil. The Bimetallic league is naturally pleased that the marquis of Salisbury is again pre mier and its members are preparing for som» active work at the approaching general elec- tion. They are also greatly pleased at the weighty character of the signatures which they obtained to the recent memorial, show- ing that bimetallism had representative sup- porters among the bankers, including eight directors of the Bank of England, in addi- tion to a number of prominent members of the industrial classes and labor crganizations. The league is convinced that the bankers' anti-bimetallic memorial was inspired by Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the former chancellor of the exchequer being forced to support the bimetallic resolution in the House of Commons when he saw the possibility of having to appoint delcgates to a conferenca, The league explains the absence of Mr. Bal- four's signature by saying that he and Mr Henry Chaplin thought it discourteous to sign a memorial addressed to the leader of the House of Commons when they were leading his opponents.

Referring to the conference, Truth says: “It Is one of the most obnoxious humbugs before the public It is simply a tourist agency surrounded by a halo -of cant about educational advan- tages.

BERL 0.—Echoes of the celebra- tions at Kiel upon the opening of the Kaiser Wilhelm canal are still reverberating on all sides. The attitude assumed by the officers of the French fleet is now generally and severely criticised, and it is significant that the semi-official Allgemine Zeitung most un- sparingly comments on the subject and charges the French with carrying discord into general harmony and with pronounced lack of International courtesy. The same paper also belittles the importance of the Russo- French understanding, so ostentatiously dis- played at Kiel, adding: “The few Russian and French vessels there cut a very insignifi- cant figure. The chauvinistic utterances of the rabid portion of the French press are ridiculed here as childish. On the other hand, the cordial sympathy shown us by England is keenly appreclated.” The American ships, their commanders and June crews have been praised to the skies, and the exchange of courtesles between Emperor William and the American officers is inter- preted as meaning a closer Knitting of the friendship between the two nations, The officers of the cruiser New York are charmed with the emperor’s affability and good fellow- ship, and are surprised at his wonderful knowledge of the technicalities of their pro- fession. His majesty repeated the expressed thanks for the way the United States was represented, and referred to the admiration he feltfor the American navy and the in- domitable spirit shown by it and by the whole American nation on critical occasions, show- ing that he was thoroughly familiar with American naval history. His majesty fre- quently used the expression “‘gallant Ameri- cans." STARTS ON HIS OUTING. Emperor William left Kiel on board the imperial_yacht Hohenzollern in order to be present at the Trave Mund regatta, He is expected to return to Kiel today and will lcave the port on Monday for a month's cruise along the coast of Norway and Sweden, and he. will arrive at Cowles, Isle of Wight, on August 3 to witness the regattas there. At the various water cures of Germany the hotels are generally full. Carlsbad takes the lead, the visitors there numbering 18,000, and at Marienbad there are 5400. The facil- itles for reaching Carlsbad have been much improved lately. The municipal authorities are excited at Emperor William’s recent criticisms on the municipal government in the matter of their alleged Indifference to building new churches His maj:sty has also charged them with lack of patriotism and with being wanting iv fealty to the monarchy. Emperor Francis Joseph is expected to ar- rive at Stettin on September 9 and to stay there three days in order to witness the maneuvers. The Austrian emperor will be accompanied by the chief of the Austrian general staff and by a large suite. The German turnfest occurs at Esslingen, Waurtemburg, on July 22. Twenty-nine men of the Fourth regiment of infantry, stationed at Aachen, have de- serted across the Belglan frontier since April CONVICTED THE COUNTERFEITERS. A sensational case at Hamburg, which has resulted in the conviction of a gang of coun- terfelters, their respective sentences ranging from three to eight years' imprisonment, has been concluded. August Thies and Robert Geutech were the head of the gang, which had between 1892-94 circulated counterfeit American $5 notes and English £5 notes to the value of $1,250,000. Theis was caught in Australia, through having attempted to pass an Amerlean bill bearing the head of General Grant and apparently printed from a genuine Washington copper plate. Three German warships have been dis patched to Moroceo to enforce satisfaction for the murder of a German merchant. The ball aboard the United States cruiser New York at Kiel on Thursday last was well attended. The Hamburger Nacrichten complains that there was no reference to Prince Bismarck, although the canal owes its existence to him The newspaper mentioned also continues Its attack upon Dr. von Boetticher, the imperial secretary of state for the interior, with in- creased vigor since the publication of the emperor's letter praising the minister for his long and faithful service, In the official circles here the advent of the marquis of Salisbury to power again In Eng- land is welcomed as a change for the better, and especially as Lord Rosebery never in- spired confidence among German statesmen, The utterances of the German press on the subject are very sympathetic. The Vossische Zeltung, for instance, expresses the opinion that an era of vigorous foreign policy will now begln, and that Great Britian's pliant attitude toward France and Russia is at an end. In fact, there seems to be a general feeling that the marquis of Salisbury will lay weight upon the intimate relations be- tween Germany and Great Britain. Herr Arendt, one of the leaders of the bimetallic party, referring to the downfall of Lard Roscbery, writes that the caange of govern- ment in Great Britain will doubtless result in a new national monetary conference, Gave Up Their seals of Office, WINDSOR, June 29.—The retiring cabinet ministers delivered their seals of office to the queen at Windsor castle this afterncon and later her majesty presented the seals to the incoming ministers, Resigned His Flace to Fight a Dael.

He came from Cen- tral Valley, this state, where for many years he has been conducting an institution of learning for South and €entral American and West Indlan youth. The avowed object of his visit was to pay his respects to Mrs Marti, the widow of the Cuban leader. Mr. Palma spent several hours at Editor Tujillo’s home, where Mrs. Marti is a guest. He sald that the call was purely social and that on account of Mrs. Martl. As to a suc- cessor, he sald that his age precluded his belng @ candidate for any position in the councils of the party requiring activity, but that he was at the service of his native isle and ready at any moment to do her bidding. As Marti's successor his duties will not necessarlly call him to Cuba. They will be almost _entirely of a diplomatic nature and will entail upon him a general oversight of the interests of the revolution everywhere. The extensive traveling that Marti used to do it 18 thought will ba delegated to young men. Among those most prominently men- tioned in this connection are Gonzalo de Quesada and Jose Manuel de Cespedos. They are both thoroughly acquainted with the ter. ritoy that Marti used to cover, having gone over it with and for him. After calling on Mrs, Marti, Palma con- ferred with a number of the members of the revolutionary juta, among them the redoubt- able General Rafacl de Quesada, COLLAPSE OF AUTONOMIST PARTY Cubuns Now United in an Effort to Secure Independence. (Copyrighted, 1895, by Press Publ shing Company.) HAVANA, Cuba, June 20.—(New York World Correspondence—Special Telegram.)— The collapee of the autonomist party is ab- sorbing attention of Cubans here, The party was formed at the end of the first revolu- tion in 1878 to protect the rights of Cubans and struggle for a separate form of govern- ment eventually. Spain promised satisfactory things. The Cubans thought that the good intentions of Spain, alded by perseverance and good work on their side, would in the course of time bring some liberties that would lead to an indepenlent government later on. At first they labored In good faith, but finding all efforts unsuccessful their courage began to fail. Today, after fourteen years, the elected officers of the party stand alone like an army without eoldlers. At the outbreak of war Spain promised to reform her laws and gov- ernment of Cuba. The reform was finally submitted to a vote at Madrid last March and was actually approved by the majority of ministers, who acknowledged the necessity of granting Cuba some concesslons or losing her torev The Spaniards here are patiently waiting for reform promises to become a fact. Tk Cubans, tired of promises, continue to fight, and what w1s only an unimportant disturb- ance of the peace at the beginning has be- come organized. If Spain had put the prom- ised retorm into effect immediately after it was voted it would have equelched the e- volt, but after four months Spain has not taken a step in that direction.

The weather was dull and warm day and a lght southern breeze was blowing. Enormous crowds of people assembled at an early hour in order to witness the firsg race of Valkyrie 111, Lord Dunraven's syndi= cate yacht, which is looked upon as almost certain to cross the ocean and race for Amers lea's cup. Exursion steamers brought thous sands of visitors from Glasgow and all parts of Scotland, all anxlous to see how the new Valkyrie would shape in a race against Ailsa and Britannia, The racing program eleven contests, but in the race for the for today comprised the interest centered big yachts, those exe ceeding 40-rating and for 10 and Z20-ratersy The for the big yachts today is a total distance of fifty miles. The first priza is 75 and the second £25. The course for the yachts above 10 and not exceeding 20« rating is a total of thirty-one miles, and for those not exceeding 10-rating the course is twenty-six miles long. For y 20 and not exceed'ng 40 rating the course is & course achts above distance of thirty-elght miles. Valkyrie IIT is rated at 185, and gives Ailsa, which is estimated to rate 160, two minutes and fifty- nine seconds. Britannia, rated at 153, gets an allowance of four minutes and two seconds. Niagara competes against the 20-raters, Zine ita and Dakotah, whose topmast has been lengthened fn order to bring her up to 11-rats, ing. The latter gets twelve minutes and fifty-two seconds allowance from Nisgara over the thirty-one mile course. When the gun was fired at 10:30 a. m. Allsa was pointing direct for the line and went over first. Valkyrie IIT was well han- dled, and before half a mile of the course had been covered ehe took the lead, with Britannfa close behind her and Allsa a long distance astern. The yachts, however, werq merely drifting. The yachts competing in the 20-rating class were started at 11:10 a. m, In a shower of rain. \ BRITANNIA WON HERE. There was much excitement when Valkyrig I, just as she was entering Largs bay, got rather mear the shore, lost the wind and became completely becalmed, Allsa and Britannia, standing more cut in the channel, got a little breeze and gradue ally drew up and passed Valkyrie, with Britannia about half a mile astern, But Allsa d1d not succeed in passing the mark boat ahead of Valkyrie, as she got too far to lee=, ward. Valkyrie, still standing in, got the breeze and rounded the mark boat before Allsa and Britannia, which two yachis were virtually becalmed. Valkyrie kept on with the assistance of a fair wind and left the others far behind, and at 2 p. m. was nearly & mile ahead and making for the Skelmorlie mark boat, which she passed at 8:21:33. Allsa and Britannia were a mile astern, Valkyrio maintained her lead easily on the second round. The breeze was fresher and the new: yacht showed good speed, The race for the 20-raters was stopped at the end of the first round, and Niagara was declared winner. The following were the times at the end of the first round: Niagara, 4:27:38; Zinita, 4:33:35; Dakotah, 4:35:22, ' Britannia crept up while Valkyrie IIT was becalmed and eventually only a few lengths separated them. But Valkyrie crept along and there was hardly a breath of alr blow- ing as she crossed the finish line. The fol- lowing were the times of the two yachts at the finish: Valkyrie 111, 7:37:30; Britannia, 7:39:16. Although Valkyrie crossed the line one minute and forty-six seconds ahead of Britannia, the latter won the race, as she has a time allowance of four minutes and two seconds. Consequently the prince of Wales* yacht won by two minutes twelve seconds, BRITANNIA HAD THE LUCK. Britannia had extraordinary luck in bringe 1ng up in the wind at the end of the race, while Valkyrle lay becalmed. The crowd of spectators could hardly believe their eyes today when they witnessed the result. The race was sailed in the worst possible Clyde weather. Valkyrie, at the beginning of the race, showed astounding form. In the thres mile heat the breeze was light, partial and patchy, but soon a gathering wind set In and Valkyrie etepped out in wonderful style, She quickly had her opponents under her lee, After going a couple miles a heavy squally wind and rain caught Valkyrie first, and though she curled up, she traveled at a great pace. Valkyrie's performance certafnly justi= fied the opinfon that she will prove unusually fast in light weather. There {8 no doubt that she is far and away a better boat than the Britannia, but their merite can only be determined by a really reilable trial in m steady breeze. The correspondent of the Associated press saw Captain Sicamore aboard Valkyrle after the race. Ile, with Captain Cranfleld, will sail Valkyrie against Defender. He sald: “I am entirely satisfied with Valkyrle. Bhe behaved simply splendidly, The mere chance that gave the race to Britannia s of small importance. Defender will need to be much better than Vigilanty else America cannot retain the cup.” GOULD ON THE SPORT. The reporter of the Associated press saw
