Wily Br I ton Want Time to Ponder and Reflect Over the Proposition Pre sented By Oar Commission. The British government has inform ed the American bimetallic comminHinn that it will probably reply to the pro posals of tho commissioners on behalf of the United States in October. - Tho commissioners have been wait ing in London since their conference with the cabinet. Desiring t6 know the exact position of Englaud before opening np negotiations, with other governments, they wrote Thursday to the cabinet inquiring when they might expect a decision, as they were anxious to arrange their future programme, Friday Senator Wolcott received a reply from Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, chancellor of tho exchequer, , in the conrso of which tho chancellor ex pressed a fear that the British govern ment was not yet in a position to ro ply to the proposals of tho envoys -of the United States and the Trench am bassadors on the question of an inter national agreement. Sir Michael Ilicks-Ueach said: I ".It is duo both to tho choice of tho subjoet ftn-1 tho manner in which4t has Ven brought iH'foM the English ministry by tho rejrewn tativpfl of the two countries that tbrso pro posals should bo very carefully examine and eon.aldurK.1 ; and this procra? munt be somewhat prolonged, owing, to tho time neroFsai iJy occupied in communicating with tho proverniwnt of India." The chancellor of tho exchequer n'lds that he canuot say wjth certainly how long these communications will take, but ho hopes the cabinet will be rendy to meet the euvoys again early in October. Whilo this postponnient of Eng land s decision dclnys the work, the American envoy:! do not consider it discouraging. They think Great Britain's interest in the question justifies them in expecting that tho In dian mints will be 'opened.- They : be lieve that The Times in exposing the reopening of the Indian mints does not represent, tho government, but rather the city li nancIaTcIfcTeti; VlilcE" are opposed to any change' The re port-made to tho government from the mint is understood to bo favorablo to to Biiver. The headquarters of tho commission will remain in London until. October. Senator Wolcott may vif.it Austria, in the meantime, and pave the way for negotiations witn tno Austrian gov ernment.

Commenlin x on the interview f t. i r t ssevr xorfi woria with Secretary Sher man, the bk James Gazette (Iiondon); in its Monday afternoon issue, says: Senator Sherman's utterance afford nj?d material for denial by Is friends of he statement that be is suffering from senile decay. Bqt, after 'all, Mr. Sherman repre sents America, and we, are sure all interna tional courtesies will be terved." . Continuing, the Gazette refers to the Kalnoky incident, whien it says: "Austria properly severed diplomatic re lations with Great Britain until Mr. Glad stone apologized for hlsj attack upon dual monarchy," and asks why there is one law in Europe and another in America. In conclusion The j Gazette repeats its recent warning that this is a dan gerous line . of policy to follow and that some t day Great j Britain may call upon Washington to "back up its bluff." j . The Westminster Gazette, of same' date, referring to the same matter, remarks that the "interview is a fruity example of Sherman's; salon style." The Globe on this subject says: "Secretary Sherman had better rid him self of the idea that Unc le 58am Is' going to boss the show, either on the gold fields or in the fisheries. We are not ready to follow every quarrel with blows, but when we strike wo strike hard, and the idea of our being afraid of a third-rate naval power like the United States' could jonly hare occurred to a lunatic or to Mr. herman- Judging from his latest performance," we may chart; tably assume that the rumors that Mr. Sher man fcrfeuffering from mental disturbances i3 Correct."

COURTS CLASH. State of Kansas Cornea In- Conflict With Uncle Sam's Tribunal. A special from Tdpeka, Kan., says: The long threatened clash between the United States courts and the authori ties of the state of Kansas came Mon day when Attorney General Boyle, acting upon the advice and with the concurrence of the state administration took action in the state courts in open defiance of the federal authorities. This action is the outcome of an in junction issued on Jnly 29th by United States District Judge John A.Williams, of Arkansas, at uoioraao Bprings,oi., by which he positively enjoined State Insurance Commissioner Webb McNeal and Attorney General Boyle, of Kan sas, from bringing any proceedings whatover under the state laws to pre vent the Mutual Life Insurance Com pany from doing business in Kansas. Attorney General Boyle went before the state supreme court, bringing pro- I ceedmgs in quo warranto against the Mutual Life Insurance-Company to compel that corporation' to appear be- I fore the state supreme court and show by what authority it is transacting business in the state of ivansas. Attorney General Roylo having done precisely what the injunction of Judge Williams forbade him doing, the pre sumption is that the federal judge will cause his arrest and imprisonment for contempt. . : - In this event application for a writ of habeas corpus will be made at once to the United States supreme court, and in such a proceeding the atfcerney general would have the support the entire state aaminisiration. w Governor Lecdy has declared that the issue has been made, and that the matter must be fought to a termina tion, i SHERMAN IN WASHINGTON.

V The first child of English parents born in America was Virginia Dare, the daughter of Ananias Dare and Eleanor White, members of one of the bands of colonists sent out to the newly-discovered country by Sir Wal ter Raleigh. :.i This event took place on August 18, 1587, and, appropriately enough, one of the counties on Roanoke Islands is called Dare County. While Virginia was the first English subject born in the then distant land, a number of col onists had settled in America two years previously; but they returned to Eng land in 1586. . - In order to commemorate this settle ment, a memorial has just been erected on the site of old Fort lUleigh, on Boanoke Island. This memorial bears an inscription stating that: "On. this site, in August, 1585, the colonists sent v from England by Sir Walter Baleigh'built the fort called the New; Fort, in Virginia." . t . It was peculiarly appropriate tnat the first child born in America should be christened in the name of the State which owed its own title to the desire to pay a courtly compliment to the Virgin Queen of England. . , .... ' ; Snake Bossed Mail Car. While the night express on the Erie road was running between Elinita and Binghamton, N, Y., a bUcksnake forty one inches long crawled slowly out of pouch and, for a time, ran things in tho mail car to suit himself. He was full of fight and it took the three mail clerks forty minutes to subdue him. The reptile had come from a paste board box in which a hols had been punctured" for ventilation. The box came front Aurora, 111., and was ad dressed to1 a man in Providence, R. L New York Press.
