States, which has been in daily session
at the residence of Archbishop Corri-
gan since Wednesday last, was con-
cluded last night. The question that

archbishops to the largest extent,
and one which has prolonged the
conference the period of three

Senator Jones Declares That Congress Will

London, Nov. 19.—The Financial

with Senator Jones, one of the Ameri-
can delegates to the monetary confer-
ence, in whioh he says that the people

Question, while in England inany peo-
ple are ignorant of the rudiments of
the matter. There was hardly an
American elector who had not formed
an intelligent opinion on this subject.
It had a most important influence on
the last election.
In reply to a question as to whether
the Democrats would introduce a free
coinage bill in congress, Senator Jones
Said: "Yes, they are bound to. Tho
Times aflirms that a majority of the
new house of representatives are op.
posed to free coinage. I feel sure that
this is erroneous. On the contrary there
is a two-thirds majority in its favor. It
was among the Democrats of tho last
house that the supporters of free coin-
age were found. If you trace these
men to their constituencies you will
find they have been re-elected.
Whether a free coinage bill is in-
troduced by the Democrats and
whether it passes Or not are different
matters. Mr. Cleveland himself is
against free coinage. It is just to
question how far the Democrats wijl
feel the influence of his personality*
A great mass of the pedple are bent on
free coinage. Why should free
coinage tend to depreciate the
silver currency? We hear from
Indian officials much about tho
Depreciation of silver in India, but

not the silver that depreciates; it is

statements. I want tho same dono in
the case of silver."

Kew York, Nov. 23.— The President
elect Cleveland left town to-day in
search of rest Since election he has
been fairly overrun with callers, and
the volume of his corresponden t' has
been something enormous.
Talking before his departure to-day
with a reporter, Mr. Cleveland said:
"I fully appreciate the good will and
friendliness which these letters indi-
cate, and shall not omit, as time al-
lows, to read every one of them.
These good friends, f course,
will not expect any replies
to their communications, for
that would be utterly out of the ques-
tion, and the most that I can do is to
say through the press that I ain not
unmindful of their kindness. Many
of the callers whom I have been
obliged to receive would not, I think,
have encroached upon my time if they
had given the niaUer a moment's
reflection. Those who have
called upon me to talk about
offices, it seems to me, have been in-
considerate and premature. I desire
to give as much publicity as possible
to the statement that I do not propose
to consider applications for office prior
to my inauguration and I shall avoid
all interviews on that subject. Those
who, under any pretense, gain an op-
portunity to present their applications
orally, and those who burden me
at this time with written applications,
cannot possibly do anything which
would so interfere with their chances
of success. Written applications will
be so little regarded that 1 doubt if
they ever see tile files in Washington,
for there is no reason or deecny in my
being overwhelmed with such matters
at this time."
Upon being asked how long he ex-
pected to be away on his vacation, Mr.
Cleveland replied: "I am not certain,
it will depend upon various conditions.
I expect, however, to be absent twd
Weeks, and when I return, unless I am
somewhat relieved from the un-
necessary demands upon my
time to which 1 have been sub-
jected here thus far 1 shall
shut up my city house and find some
more quid place to spend the winter.
Certainly between now and March 4 I
ought to have some time to devote to
other matters than receiving callers
and considering subjects which should
be postponed."

i'AKT. Nov. 23.—There iva-i a seem
of wild excitement yestenl iv in th
chamber of deputies, .lules i: !.!
the Boulangist deputy from
raised the question of the
canal prosecutions.
He denounced the govern me
boverest language, stating
authorities bail wholly ncglct
duty, and had permitted the
and most colossal crimes to go unpun
ished. He demanded that justice be
done speedily, and that the men of in
fluenee and wealth, accumulated by
fraud, be brought to exposure and
punishment.
There was a clamorous scene while
Delehave was speaking, some applaud-
ing and others denouncing his utter-
ances. Angry recriminations fol-
lowed, and deputies charged each
other in express terms with a desire to
protect the guilty. One speaker
claimed he could point out men in the
chamber who had shared in the spoils.
A dozen deputies rose in an excited
manner to ask whom he meant. Tho
a us vcr was lost in the clamor and con-
fus -n. Members shook their lists in
eacn others faces and several tried to
climb the tribune at once. The presi-
dent rapped for order, but nobody
seemed to heed. The melee was more
general and t'isgraceful than any wit-
nessed in the chamber during the pres-
ent republic. Deputies called each
other thieves and followed tho insult-
ing words with a challenge to tho
death.
No less than three challenges were
given for duels. M. Alexis de Launey,
moderator and deputy for Boauvais,
challenged Antoine Germaine, deputy
for Trevoux and member of tho Left
Center; Boissy d'Anglais, member from
Ardeche, challenged M. Dclehayc, and
I uUl Deroulede, the noted Boulangist
challenged M. Hubbard, of Scine-et-
Pise, anti-Boulangist. j
It was a bitter struggle and the first
really signal demonstration of tli6
Boulangists since the downfall of
their party. It was useless for the
government to oppose the onset, and
so the ministry yieldsd by consenting
to the appointment of a preliminary
commission to inquire into the charges
of corruption in connection with the
Panama canal, and especially tho
charges affecting the public officials,
members of the chamber and others
connected with the public service.
The commission is to be named to-
day and will begin the inquiry
forthwith. It is rumored that gigan-
tic scandals will be unearthed and
that other Euicides may be looked for
in addition to Baron do Reinach, who
was one of the men deeply involved in
the alleged scandals. The baron left
an Immense fortune of about 300,000,-
oOO francs, much of it accumulated in
connection with the Panama enter-
prises
There is gieat excitement in Paris,
and the sccnc in the chamber of depu-
ties and the Panama inquiry are the
leading subjects of discussion every-
where. The police arc said to bo
keeping a quiet surveillance over sev-
eral wealthy rnert mentioned in con-
nection with the Panama ffatlris, and
who art suspected of a design to leave
France in order to escape prosecution.

Brussels, Nov. 23. - The Interna-
tional Monetary congress met without
formal proceedings in the J'a'.ais des
Academies, at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
Tho grand salle, or marble hall where
the delegates hold their meetings,
looks out on one side upon the splen-
did park which is the fashionable sum-
mer resort of the residents of Rrussels
and the Palais de la Nation, where tho
senate and deputies meet, is justacroso
the park from the royal palace.
M. Ilernaert, the Helgian prime mirv
ister and minister of finance, said \.n
his inaugural address that the confer-
ence had been called to discuss one o'
the gravest and most complex prob>
lems that modern society ever had to
face. After referring to the monetary-
crisis that had occurred during the pas*
fifty years,he said it was in the direc
tion of an international under-
standing that a solution of the mone-
tary question was now sought. This
was in accordance with the law of
progress. Numerous such understand-
ing had already been arrived at for
the regulation of the common
interests of tho civilized
world in regard to telegraphs,
railways, weights and measures-*
and the same eoursc should be fol-
lowed in the ease of money. It was
for tho delegates of the United States
to put forward the views of their gov-
ernment and explain how it was pro-
posed to carry these views into effect
M. Montefiore, who was named as
president of the conference, said that
he accepted thehonorof presiding over
the deliberations, knowing that it was
intended for liclgium rather than for
himself. He referred to the numerous
attempts made to solve the mon-
etary question, mentioning espe-
cially the British gold and sil-
ver commission of 1886 as
distinguished above all other similar
bodies by its eminently practical
character. The worst feature of the
present monetary system wan its in-
stability. Ho hoped the conference
would sink its individual interests and
keep in view the higher interests of
the great human family.
The Hon. E. T.-rrell, United States
minister to Belgium, replied in a few
formal words on behalf of the Ameri-
can delegates ami the conference ad-
journed until Friday.

ing the national currency:
Whereas. The constitution of tho United
