PUZZLING OVER SILVER. The Monetary Conference Making Very Little Progress. Bruzzels advices say that an Important section of the international monetary convention holds that M. de Rothschild’s vvithIravval of his plan for a solution of tho silver quostlon does not debar the further llscussion of his proposals by the confer?noe. the committee to which the plan was referred having presented It for the consideration of the cjnforence, thus taking It sut of the hands of M. de Rothschild. M. Sainctellettc, a Belgian delegate who supports the Do Rothschild plan, with the Moritz Levy amendment substituting silver for small gold coins, held a conference with Sir C. Fremantle, one of the British delegates and deputy master of the British mint, and SenorToca. a Spanish delegate, on the question of putting, the amended De Rothschild plan to a vote of the conference Both Senor Toca and M. Salnctellette hold that a failure of the conffercnce can yet be averted by a majority dt the delegates recommending either the Levy project or the amended Rothschild plan. Tho scheme proposed by C. F. TeitJea, the Danish delegate. Is treated with Indifference. It may be dropped without discussion by toe conference. The proposals by Sir C. Houldsworth, though applauded by the pronounced bimetallist delegates yesterday, is not considered by his colleagues worth wasting time over in discussion. Ills plan will probably be referred to a committee tomorrow and will not bo heard of again. The uncertain attltudo of the French delegates Is Influencing the other representatives whose countries belong to the Latin union.
