THEPOSITION OF ENGLAND
GreatBritain Will Oppose the Par^^ity With Co'd. but She Desires^Soma Plan to Benefit^Silver.
Washington,March 17. - Senator Tel^^ler, who has already given notice of hia^intention to take steps to cause an inter^^national money conference to convene at^Brussels, was to-day asked for hit opinion^respecting the declaration of the chancel^^lor of the exchequer yesterday, that the^British delegates would be instructed to^oppose every bi-metnllicrcheme presented^at the conference. The senator said that^tho declaration meant that Great Britain^would absolutely oppose the free coinage^of silver on terms of equality with gold.^^That is what sha always has done, and^nobody expected her to do any mora at^this time. But there is nothing in this^IMwition irreconcilable with the attain^^ment of tbe object of the conference,^namely, the extended use of silver as a^money metal. In fact, there is evidence^to show that Great Britain really desired^to do something in that direction. Her^financiers realized the necessity for some^palliative measures, something to prevent^the further depreciation of silver, which if^continued, must result in the total de^^struction nf the present monetary system.^If that occurred, the diture of silver^would he assured. But nobody wished to^adopt such a heroic measure to achieve^the desired result.^ lie had no doubt that^F.nglaud would be willing to support any^reasonable proposition that would bo^mere practical than the Rothschild^scheme.

THEPANAMA TRIAL.
Membersef Ike 1 rases Bir Tel^Their Defender aa Ovation.
Paris,March 17. Barsboux. counsel^for Charles Do Lease pa, resumed his argu^^ment for tbe defense, at the opening of^court this morning. He maintained that^his client was ignorsnt of the manner in^which Baron Keinarh had used the^money paid to him by the canal company,^and tliat tbe evidence in tho case proved^the efforts of Clemcnceau, Flcquel and^HeFreyciuet to prevent a law suit from^being instituted by Keinarh against the^company to have been made solely in the^interest of the government. Dubuit,^counsel for Murius Fontane. one of the^Indicted Panama directors, received an^ovation on account of his spirited protest^yesterday against Premier liibot's impu^^tation on the members of the bar. in bis^statement in the chamber of deputies.^When Dubuit arrived in the rolling room^of the assize court before the resumption^of the trial to-day. tbe members of the^bar cheered and waited their official caps^for several minutes. Dubuit was warmly^congratulated on his effort in the success^^ful refutation of liibot's charges. The^incident which arose out of the report^that the counsel for Cottu intended to^make an open statement in court to effect^a certain foreign ambassador among tbe^recipients of Panama bribery' money, baa^excited the keenest indication among tbe^members of the legal profession.
Barboux.in concluding his address In^behalf of Charles De Lcsseps in the Pan^^ama trial to-day. said thai from the outset^of the trial Hie country hud looked upon It^less for its value. Hum as a symptom of^French public life. All of these men wore^tbe harness of office and, not alone those^accused here, but others also, might have^been prosecuted in order to sstisfy public^opinion.
Why,^exclaimed M. Barboux, ^were^Ruiiviers and Thcvancts allowed to go^^Doubtless because it would have hecu dan^^gerous to prosecute them. Your con^^sciences, jury men, will dictate to you tbe^verdict whereby you w ill earn the imperish^^able honorof having done justice to an hon^^orable man and of having restored fame to^an illustrious name and you will compen^^sate tho country for the prestige lost^through tho accusation of one of her^noblest children.
Dubluitthen proceeded to argue in de^^fense of M. Marcus Fonlaiie. He urged^that there was nothing in the evidence to^sustain the charge against Fontaue.

St.PaVt, Minn.. March 17. The latest^developments in the coal combine sensa^^tion tend to confirm the investigation^committee in their belief in tbe existence i^of auch a combine. Mr. Welsh of the) j^joint committee secured a lunch of orig^^inal letters, giving further details of the^combine's organisation and methods of^work, and the committee will have them I^under consideration to-day. The letters^apparently prove conclusively that a grea.^combine exists that requires all^wholesale dealers to pay to John .1.^Rhodes *l,OhU, before going into business,^and retail dealers must pay flOU to the^samo gentleman for a like purpose. The^supply of coal is absolutely rut off from^all persons who attempt to sell it without^^suthority.
Inone loiter, ssid to he written by^Rhodes, S. H. Wilson of Minneapolis is^informed that he would better furnish no^more coal to W. Ksters till the latter paid^his subscription. In another letter, the^Lehigh Coal and Iron company is told^that It must make W. Petrau subscribe or^shut off his supply. Other letters of a^similar nature were found. Chairman^Donnelly of tbe committee received s let^^ter from one of tbe Pennsylvania coal^barons, threatening to see thst Minne^^sota gets no bard coal if the investigation^is not dropped at oucc.

Pvims,March 17. - Jules Franrals^Candle Ferry, the celebrated statesman,^is dead. M. Ferry's death was caused by^heart disease. The affection of the heart^from which he suffered was due to the ef^^fect of a bullet sinking a rib near the base^of the heart, at the time when Ito was at^^tacked by Aubert, in 1**7. He waa seised^with spasms early in the morning and.^despite every effort made by the physi^^cians, who were hastily summoned, tho^com ulsions continued to grow in violence^Until, at u o'clock in the evening, lie ex^^pired in terribly severe spasms.
Mme.Ferry ssid, in an interview with a^reporter this evening, for tbe last two^weeks M. Ferry had complained of a diffi^^culty iu breathing. His sleep was much^broken and his general health suffered in^consequence. In the Isst few dsys he^seemed to recover somewhat Ins former^energy and spirits, although tbe difficulty^in breathing was increasing. Last even^^ing he went to bed at 10 o'clock. Before^midnight be awake with a chill, succeeded^later by one that was more severe, A^doctor arrived at 1 o'clock, and ufier his^treatment, M. Ferry felt relieved and fell^into a sound sleep. He partly dressed at^M:;s) and we helped him to an arm chair,^and for an hour he was in a coudilion of^such extreme prostration thai he could^talk but little. At 10:;w he began strug^^gling for breath. This sudden rally was^followed by another sinking turn. This^alternate rallying and sinking continued^until -'^ o'clock, when he raised himself in^his seal, looked at his wife fix^^edly, exclaimed ^Save me,^ and fell^hack exhausted. His struggle for breath^became agonizing, and the physicians^injected morpnine to relieve bun. After a^few unintelligible words ho fell into a^state of coma which ended in his death.^He died in lite arm chair in which for^years he had done all of hia w ruing and^reading. All of the members of bis fam^^ily and Mme. Floquet were beside him to^the last.
Thenews of Ferry's death astounded^the city. None, i nice Gamtsrtta's death,^even made such an impression. Hun^^dreds of politicians called at the bouse^during the evening and inscrilied their^tmine* in the viewers* Hawk. The general^feeling is that although Ferry's election to^the presidency of the senate was contrary^lo the wishes of Carnot and Ribot, his^death la a serious loss to the government.^As yet tho names of possible successors^to tbe presidency of the senate are hardly^mentioned.

The Six^Companies say : ^ We have isaued a cir^^cular advising Chinese laborers that tbe^law requiring them to register is uncon^^stitutional and cannot be enforced, and,^therefore, suggesting to them that they do^not comply with the law. This circular la^baaed upon the ml vice of our attorneys^that the law is unconstitutional and is In^violation of treaty rights.
Asa result of tbe circular sent out by^tbe Six Companies, over $*Ji,Q0u have been^contributed by the Chinese to fight tbe^law in the courts. The Six Companies^have not stopiwd w ith simply ordering^their subjects lo disobey tbe law, they^have set on foot an elaborate plan to de^^feat it. The attorney for the Sii Com^^panies weut to New York and Washington^some weeks ago, as a preliminary step,^and employed assistant counsel. James^C. Carter and J. Hublcy Asbton of^Washington were induced to aid in de^^feating the new law. It has been ar^^ranged to commence a show of tierce fight^in New York. Henownetl lawyers hare^been employed, chief among whom la Dr.^Choale.
OnMay ^^. some Chinamen, who will be^picked out for tbe purpose, w ill be arrested^and taken l^ Ion one of the I'nited States^judges, who will Ito ssked to order his de^^portation at once. As no one w ill ques^^tion ihe validity of the law, of course tbe^order will be made. 'I hen a w rit of habeas^corpus will be taken out before another^judge and, as nolssly w ill attack ihe law^bvforo him, he will remand the prisoner,^and then an appeal w ill be taken to tbe^supreme court at Washington and tbe^matter must there be finally settled.
