' Delegates to the Brussels Confer ence Resume Their Labors. ALFRED DE ROTHSCHILD PRESENTS PROFOSALS Tho Members of tbo French Cabinet Tender Tlieir Resiamutlons, Owlne to the Deputies limine Rejected a Request Mado by Prime Minister Loubot—The Resignations Accepted I by President C'arnot. Wltta a Re quest Tiiat tlie Members Remain in Ofiico UntO Their -Successors are Appolntod. Special to the Record-Usion. BRUSSEte, Nov. 28.—1n the Monetary Conference to-day Rothschild's proposals | were submitted. They cover eleven printed octavo pages. Rothschild argues at great length that bimetallism in < treat Britain is absolutely impossible, andsug-1 gosts tho question whether it is now po.-.- j sililo to extend silver generally, and by this means assist the checking of a fur ther fall in its values. Rothschild said ho did not claim that his proposals would provo a final solution of the question, but they would prove a palliative. .Summed up, his proposals are that America con tinue its purchases of silver, and the Eu ropean powers buy an amount equal to 1,000 sterling a year for live years, at 43d. If silver should rise abovo that price the purchases be immediately suspended. Rothschild said that he felt that a gold standard in England was the only pi s sible oue, and if they consider that hor whole commerce, and a Urge part of that of other countries, is carried ou by bills of exchange on London, which are nat urally payable in gold, it must be ad mitted that the worll generally transacts business on agold bas.s. and that a double standard, with the exception of a very modified form, does not exist even iii th.se countries professing to nay in either metal. Whatever international a ment may be made, or whatever ratio is chOMU, gold alone will always be tho favorable medium for settling largo debts or making large remittances. Germany's tctton in 1873, and the action of Italy, Russia and Austria in amassing gold is conclusive proof of the appreciation the great European countries have of the ad vantage of the gold standard. Apart from other considerations, it seemed to him that a universal arrangement of the cur rency question is Impossible. .v_, to wealth and sources of expenditures, no two countries are alike, lt would be im possible to carry on the trade of tho world ona sound, stable basis, if a debtor was allowed the option of paying in whatever currency suited him. Rothschild thought, some such arrange ment as ho proposed would give general satisfaction. Tne gold market of tbe world would also be relieved, as only European appeals will be made thereto for a long time, and as South Africa ia Increasing her output of gold, tbo ar rangementsuggested last would enable Russia and Austria to complete their purchases without unduly interfering with the money market. If tlio confer ence adjourns without having accom plished any definite result, it will cause a fall in silver frightful to contemplate. It will cause a monetary panic, added Rothschild, of which it is impossible to toll its far-spreading effects. Alter discussion the proposal wa forred to a committee to consider. The committee includes sir v. Freemantle (British), Guilford L. Molesworth (India., H. W. Cannon i United States), M. Foville i French), Signer Simonilli (Italy), and M. Raifolovitch (Russia!, with Alfred De Rothschild and M. Levi (Belgium) ex oilieio members. Tho conference adjourned till Friday. The American delegates authorize the Associated Press representative to state tiiat they are thoroughly satisfied \. i;h the turn of events, and consider Roths child's plans and to-day's action of the iference amply to justify the convok ing of tiie conference. A DAMsll iiKI.EHATK's PROPOSAL. Brussels, Nov. 28.—A Danish delegate, who is a monometalUst, will propose tj coinage ofsilvei th c francs, lour shillings or dollar pieces, rated to gold according to tbe price of silver in the year previoi ■ to the adoption of tin international a ment, with the seignorage often percent He wm also propose the appointment oi a permanent International Com mi to lix the initial prices. Should the in . of silver fall to live per eont. below the coinage ratio, the commission will have authority to lis a new ratio and order the recoinage of pieces. These are to be legal tender internationally, and the banks to keep ihem as a reserve against notes, and have the right to demand gold in ci chaiigo for them at anytime from the Government issuing tho particular coin held. This s. heme will be subject to lively communications between tho dele gates, but it will nol be formally pro posed until tho Kochsehild proposal debated. The Portuguese delegates have been i structed by their Government to act harmony with the British representative It is stated that Rothschild proposes raise the legal tender of silver in Ln laud from two pounds to five. Great it portanee attaches to the proposal, as means the English XH would be payafa in silver. A FRIEND OF BIMETALLISM. London. Nov. 28.—Bimetallism h found an advocate in Archbishop Wa] of Dublin. In tho course of au intervic the Archbishop declared tho adoption o bimetallism was a matter of imperial ii.. . Baity to save Irish tenants lroin i evitable ruin. "It was disheartening the Archbishop added, "to find no in" est taken in the question by the; of the Iri^h Parliamentary party. things gi. ou as I hey are. even the exec lent land-purchase Bchetne may beooir before many years, a source ofwidespre disaster to purchasers under it." cording to the Archbishop's views fo eign competition is not at all the so cause of the ruinous fall in the pr agricultural products. The main cans be believes, is the continuous rise int; value of gold. "What a prospect it is he added, "fbr Irish ten..tits, whose jui cial rents are fixed for fifteen years, for tenants with annual purchase pa; ments extending over forty-nine year that gold has risen 38 per cent, in valu within the last fifteen yoars and nu. continue to appreciate it the present tern is maintained." The Archbishop concluded by expressing the hope the conierenceat Brussels would succeed iv solving the monetary problem. CABINET CRISIS IN I RANCE.
