"Washington, April 1 13. The naming of three" commissioners by President McKinley ' under- the - act of the last congress . to promote bimetallism was the subject of considerable discussion about the capitol today. Almost, with out exception, the selections were com mended. Senators, regardless of party, were pleased, with the selection of ex- Vice President Stevenson. It appears that this selection was the president's own, no one appearing to urge his ap pointment. The president - desired a democrat who stood- high in his party and who was an earnest . silver man. He sent for Mr. Stevenson and after talking the subject over with him, de cided to make him a ' member of the commission. President McKinley. de sired that the subject of international bimetallism should . be lifted above par ty politics and that the men selected should be those who would work in harmony toward bringing about an agreement. ' It was also believed by the ; president that the name of Mr. Stevenson would give the commission great weight abroad. Opposition to the scheme for interna tional bimetallism has developed from an unexpected source. Morton Frewen, of England, who has given a great deal of attention to the : gtfbject and who has visited this country several times in the interest of silver, is now oppos ing an international agreement and de clares that the money question is one which each nation must settle for, it self. He will oppose any agreement and use his Influence against the new commission when it goes abroad. Senator Wolcott said today that gold standard countries would oppose any further depreciation of sliver and that efforts were now being made to prevent ' any further fall of silver in India, also that the demand for gold by. Japan in establishing a gold standard, would cause a drain of gold from Europe which would be resisted by gold coun tries. In the United States Senator Wolcott anticipates little opposition to bimetallism. What opposition there is, he says, comes from the German bank ers of New Tork, who' are already fighting bimetallism and whose oppo sition the commission will meet when it goes to Europe. j- : ; benator Wolcott said today, that eold there appears to be a mistaken impres sion that the commission is appointed witn tne purpose in view of having it represent the United States at a con ference only. While the commission might be utilized in that way, if a con ference should be held, it first work is to be of a purely diplomatic character, looking entirely , to securing European co-operation. Whether there- shall be a conference at all will all depend upon how the advances of the commissioners are received by the principal powers. London, .April 13. The appointment of Senator E. O. Wolcott, of Colorado; the Hon. Charles J. Payne, of Boston, and ex-Vice President Stevenson as commissioners to an international mon etary conference, under the act ap proved on March 3d last, "for the promo tion of an international agreement for bimetallism" has been received with the greatest satisfaction by the London bimetallists, who anticipate solid prog ress tnrough their efforts, although Mr. Stevenson Is unknown here as a monetary expert. , Bloomington, Ills., -April 13. Rx- Vice President Stevenson said todav when questioned about hJs . appoint ment on the commission for the pro motion of an international agreement: l appreciate the compliment paid to me by the president and will cheerfully render what assistance I can to 'a'c- compl'ish the ohject of the commission. am a bimetaltist. I regard thr res toration of silver to its proper money function as the supreme question in our eountry and throughout the world. The importance of the question cannoS be overstated. In this country the in crease in the volume of huslness1 is beyond computation. Tn the light Qt these 'facets the rehabilitation or silver is a. prime necessity. Should its de monetization become the settled policy the evil days upon whfoh .we have fall en .but dimly foreshadow consequences yet to come. Whatever our views -may be ate to the ability of our government to maintain, the free- 'and unlimited coinage of silver without the co-opera tion of the leading countries of Eu rope, it may be safely assumed that every friend of silver" in our' country will welcome international "bimetallism. As to the impossibility of the success of : this commission, it. known that the trend of -pwblie sentiment in Euro pean countries, as well as our own, ia- undoUbtedly favorable to bimetallism. Many of the publicists of England and Germany are in earnest accord with our government upon- this question. Should sentiment in ' those "countries justify, an international conference would undoubtedly be called and ac tion taken that would be deemed proper. ? - i i . . RESTORED TO HEALTH.'

A Hatter of Buttons. "Have you ever noticed." asked Snyder, the calculating barber, . according tothe Chicago Record, "the reckless extrava gance shown by tailors in finlnshliur coat? Well, just take a look at your coat. On each sleeve you'll find three buttons wtilth are absolutely unnecessary. Now you may think that this is a trivial affair. but my figures prove the contrary. I cal culate' that in the United States ther are probably 25,000,000 such coats in existence. With six buttons on each coat fhis makes e total of lM.OOf ,000 buttons slmnly wasted. You've probably never stopped to consider tne enormous . number thl is. well, placed one on top of another in single pile, they .would make a stack 29a miles in height.

No wonder people talk about hard times. But that' not all. According to my calculations the thread used in putting on the buttons, allowing- two inches for each, would strentch once around the earth, with enough.left over to reach from here to Carson City. The cost of thia, at 4 cents a spool, would be sumcient to pay a saioonKeeper i license for two years, with the bartender' salary thrown in.

The only newa from the flooded districts received' at the war department this morning came from the upper Missouri section.' The report from the ariny inspectors at Grand Forks, N. D., shows that the situation there, as far as the laboring element Is concerned, is quite as bad as it Was reported to be yesterday at 'Moorhead, Minn. The telegram, is follows: , as "Two. hundred families have 'been driven from their homes in consequence I Of the flood.

The Inspector tfurther suEre-ests that 54,000 be "placed at the disposal of the relief committee. , The first application for tents for tha Shelter Of the people driven from their homes byr the flood waters, came to the war department from .MeHnphis today. A few days ago the Memphis ctfrntmlt- tee thought they could get along Vith- out tents, (but the recent Soell of cool weather has -made it plain that they win te necessary to -prevent Buffering. The army Inspector at .Memphis tele graphed the department today that tha mayor of that city had Just applied to him for the loan of 2o0 "A" tents -which were badly needed. The mayor offered' to give satisfactory account of the borrowed property. Secretary Al ger itnimediately telegraphed the de pot quartermaster at St. Louis, the nearest point where the tents could be had, to ship the required number, in charge of an agent, if necessary, to se- ewe qufok delivery.

The President to Recommend an Appro priatlon by Congress to Pay Indemnity for, Three Men Murdered in. Louisiana XJMtYenr. - Washington, April 13. The president has decided to recommend to congress an ap propriation as indemnity for the killing by a mob of lynchers , of -three Italian citizens of Hahnvijle, La.. August th last. The state department has struggled in vain for many months to escape the necessity of assuming responsibility, for the killine of these men. and tn the at tempt it has been aided by the authorities of the state of Louisiana with copious reports to establish the assertion that the Italians were killed, not Decause trey were Italians, but because they were sus nected of having committed a murder, and also they had lost their Italian na tionalitv bv exercisine the rights of citi aens in Louisiana The passages between Secretary Olney and Baron Fava, .the Italian ambassador, on these points are regarded as excellent manifestations of the highest diplomatic skill in argument. When Secretary Olney retired he left the case as a legacy to tne incoming tratlon. He had taken the ground that the killed were not Italian subjects, but the Italian ambassador. M00' his government, firmly asserted its right to protect the men, and through the .evi dence collected and through the consul at New Orleans, has so far established the soundness of its contention that when Secretary Sherman came to take the mat ter up he was obliged to accept the Italian contention as proper and to .decide to recommend an allotment for indemnity to the families of the men.
