" Ilultiraore aid -the Renntnption Washixgtos, Kof. 23. A committee of bankers from ,th Baltimore Clearing Hoase Association 'Called on Seretary Hherman this aftermooo ia relationto the resumption act aud irbat action is,zpedi ent4to be adopted bjr the BaltimorJbanks in aiding and co-operating in the resump tion by the government of specie payments on January 1st nexU After replying to a number of questions tubmitted by the com mittee, the Secretary taid : U ' I inferred, gentlemen, from the ap pointment you made trith me, that some such questions afujjow propose would be submitted to ' ri, tut aa the law re quires me officially i report to CMigress in little more than a. Ireek upon the very top tt yo Mggest, it.wkl be BMinifestly improper for me to now discuss them in such details as frankness would require. But I may -sjiy a few things which -vill substantially answer the object of this in terview. It. is true actual redemption is confined by law to the office of the Assist ant Treasurer at New York. This is a wise provision, for it would be inexpedient to scatter the redemption fund so that it would not be readily available. Redemp tion in New York, the chief commercial city of the country, establishes the equality o3 United States notes with coin, and this is the main thing, and carries with it their equality in all parts of the United States. Tn'e difficulties presented by the Baltimore bank could be met by either of several ex pedients. "First, this, department by the express provision of law, will sell or exchange coin for 'greenbacks. -This has been done for years at Boston, Baltimore, Chicago and other leading points at the same premium for .gold at market rate at New York. This could be cotftinued after January first, when, at New York, the rate will be par, and therefore the same elsewhere. 'Second, L'nited States notes being at parity with coin, cau, I think, under exist ing laws be received for customs duties, and this is the only purpose for which coin is required by law to be paid, to the gov ernment by a citizen, and it is the purpose for which it is usually desired. If there is any doubt upon this point, Congress may expressly. authorize it. Third, If United States notes are taken for duties in New York, they must be taken for duties in every port -in the United States otherwise unconstitutional preference would be made in favor of one port over other ports in the United States. "Fourth, after resumption United States notes must be held and rated at par for all purposes in all parts of the United States. They can be transported easily aud speedily, while coin cannot bo so read ily and cheaply moved. It would seem that if we secure absolutely the converti bility of Unit'etf States into coin at' the chief, commercial city we" practically secure the same convertibility at every other place in the United States.- Exchange, is usuall7 in favor of New Yoark bt temtiGrarvri premium elsewhere, will Be rnsfgnificant and cannot exceed the small cost of trans porting Upited States notes to New York that may and has occurred when specie payments were the rule everywhere aud is less likely to occur now when we have a uniform paper circulation current iu all parts of the United States. "My general answer, therefore, to you is that the United States will maintain its notes at par in coin in all parts of the United States, and will do so by the re demption of su,eh notes as are presented to the Assistant Treasurer at New York, and by receipt of United States-notes for both customs duties and bonds. I think this can be done without change oft he laws. But as to this, Congress must be the judge. The Treasury will treat United States notes and coin as equact equivalents'in all .transactions with the government, and then all business everywhere in the United States will adopt itself to the same stand ard. . Having stated this much, I do not think that I ought to go further, and per haps in my desire to be frank with you I have broached questions that should await the openinc of Congress. - Reception or tlie Duke of Edin burgh -British Ship, Looking for Fenian Kidnappers.

"What is urged upeu the Southern men, therefore, in such private , conferences as have been held, is that they shall deter mine to cut adrift from the Western green back crowd, shall unite for sound currency and declare their adherence to resumption, their opposition to the payment of any war claims aud of all speculative jobs against the Treasury, such as railroad and steam ship subsidies and international improve ment schemes, and, in fact, put themselves, iu a body, back on what are called old democratic-principles. How these , proposi tiens will be received when the whole body of Congressmen is assembled here it is not now possible to say. The prospect that wise counsels will prevail is not very en couraging. There are a good many sound and sensible Southern members inthe pre sent House, but there are also a good many ignorant and weak men who are apt to fol low the noisiest leaders and to whom the hope of getting a handsome appropriation for their districts, or of "making things lively" once more in their section, goes be yond anything else.

" m- : Oil 31 en In Confer ence. JW," York Herald, 22. The conference of oil producers and re finers', which was opened on "Wednesday at ; the St. Nicholas Hotel, avrs continued yes terday afternoon at the offices of theStand ard Oil Company, in Pearl street. The proceedings were secret, but it was subse quently learned that representatives from the principal oil wells in Pennsylvania were present, among. them D. F. Stewart, of Pitts burg, Pa.; George H. Nesbitt, of Petrolia. Pa.; R.Jennings, of Queenstowri, Pa.; O. Noble, of Erie, Pa.; G. II. Graham, of Fairview, Pa.; George Bateman, of Pitts burg, Pa., and George Boulton, of Oil City. Pa. Several of these gentlemen were visited last evening at the St. Nicholas Hotel,, but. they refused to give any particulars con cerning the meeting, cn the ground that the arrangements had not as yet been per fected. Mr. Stewart, of Pittsburg, said it would possibly be two weeks before they came to any agreement, and that, in his opinion, the matter would have to be finally settled through committees. He admitted that the object of the conference was to perfect arrangements between the refiners and producers, so that they will not be obliged to send oil Europe aud elsewhere at the present ruinous prices. He denied that the conference intended to discuss the -question of the alleged monopoly of the carrying of oil by the Standard Oil Com pany, and said that this matter had not been touched upou at the meeting. . The dealers in petroleum in the lower part of the city did not speak in favor of the conference, and expressed an opinion that it was not an oppositien movement to the Standard Oil Company, to which they are opposed, but was rather in its interest. The Conference will be continued to dav. Future Naval Combats. Ilobart Paha in ?Corth American lirvieic. I will now venture an opinion as to how future war will be carried on iu regard to naval combats and the destruction of an enemv's commerce, this latter striking a Jblow at his most vital part namely, his pockets. Let us suppose, in regard to the first of these propositions, that two fleets meet on the open seas, bent on mortal combat, their -commauders-in-chief cram med (as they are naturally enough at present) full of thecry as to how they would fight a hostile fleet should it ever fall to their lot to do so. They talk and think of double line, single line, double column or single column, etc. "Well. Mon sier le Commandant cn Chef, there is your enemy drawn up in line of battle before yoalrauis, torpedoes, and all other deadly inventions, prepared; the commander-in-chief will probably hold a council of war, and according to an arranged plan, in goe the fleet at the enemy. If the enemy re mains quiet, as in a. sham fight, good ; but he (the enemy) also- L prepared with his system attack, aad before the action has lasted five minutes all plans must be dis concerted, th commaoder-in-chief s sig nals unseen or disregarded, and every thing pell-mell ; ships frequently ramming their friends, torpedoes going offin the wrong direction or at a wrong time.Tsnd who knows what will happen? I have ut ten thought for hours (while commanding the Turkish fleet) as to what I should do were I to meet an enemy's fleet, and I have come to the conclusion that much depend oa the chapter of accidents. In these days there is too much theory still I don't see what else we can have too much calcula tion, perhaps too much science, in naval men's brains. For mv part, I am con vinced that the first tliiug to do is to be most careful in your choice of captains, to have confidence in ihein,aad to leave much to their discretion during a naval engage ment. I do not say that I disapprove of a well-digested plan being laid down to start with; bat I4 doubt its being carried out with success, as in the old days of sailing vessels, when weather-gages were profited by, and when seamanship waa half the bat tle. 5 I can but think that ererv caDtain of f an iron-clad will have to fight his own ship, irrespective or tne commander-in-chief. Above all, the commander-in-chief of a fleet should avoid placing his ships in too close order. A good thing was said by an En glish officer of rank some days before the fatal accident so well known to all the world, which occurred lately tothe German fleet off Dover.- The Germans have the dangerous habit of sailing their fleets in close order. The officer I refer to being asked what course he would pursue if obliged to attack the German fleet, an swered. "I should let them alone, being sure that they would sink each other by. collisions in a very short space of time" through manamvering in close order." Thus my opinion is that "open order, indi vidual responsibility and freedom of action to each commander," should be the order to be given by the commaader-in-chief There are manv naval officers who trust entirely to destroy the enemy by ramming. I can only say to them, "Your idea is good in theory, but remember that two can plav at that irame. By all means use vour ram when an enemy is crippled ; in fact. I think that all fleets ahould be attended upon bv ram vessels who should lie bv until one of the enemy's ships is in difficulty, and then rush at the injured ship with their rani. Guns in such vessels are almost superflu ous. Jo sum up this question. 1 think that a commander-in-chief's motto should be, "Keep your ships in hand as long as possible, then leave the rest to good cat) tains, brave crews, well worked iruns, and Providence." A Perilous Alpine Adventure. The Jierner Taqebhttt gives an account of a perilous adventure which recently be tel two English tourists : Mrs. A ain wright, described as an English lady, ac companied by her brother-in-law, Mr. ainwright, attempted the ascent of the Piz Palur, a mountain of the Berniua group, i hey tooic with them two guides, brothers Hans Grass and Christian Grass. The climbers, who were corded to gether, after leaving the central peak, took a westerly direction towards another peak. Christian Grass went first, next to him followed Mr. AVainwrierht, then came Mrs. "Wain wright. and the rear was houcrht up by Hans. A thick fog came on. Christian, either confused by the semi-obscurity or not exercising sufficient caution, went too near an arete (edge of snow), when the snow suddenly gave way under his feet, aud he fell down a precipice, dragging wish him in his fall the nglish lady and gcntlemau. But the rope was strong, and Hans Grass is a man both stout of heart and of gigantic strength. As he saw his brother disappear, he drew him self instinctively backwards, and by sheer force of muscle and will, held the three lost ones suspended in the air. Neverthe less, the position was a sufficiently terrible one. Strong as he was, he was not strong enoujrh to drasr from the abvss two men and a woman, to stir, to yield an inch even, might be certain death to all. and they were far beyond the reach of human aid. Nothing but prompt courage and ready wit could save them. He shouted to his brother, dangling at the end of the rope, ice on both sides of him, snow above him. The brother answered ; he was alive, unhurt, and ready to help if means of help could be devised. Hans -told him to cling to "the icv slope, cut steps it it and mount, and be quick about it, for he did not think he could hold on more than half an hour longer. Fortunately, ' Mr. "Wain wright had kept his axe. He handed it to Chris tian, and the guide set about cutting the steps as Hans had suggested. After many difficulties and almost superhuman exer tions, he succeeded. He contrived to crawl up to the edge of the crevasse ; his brother gave him a hand ; then, the two uniting their strength, pulled up Mrs. Wain wright and her brother-in-law, and all four," not seriously the worn" for the frightful adventure, but devoutfly thank ful for their hair-breadth escape, got down from the mountain and returned to Pon tresiha. ' The American Xavy. Herald Teltgram. Our navy is in much better coudition than it was a year ago, and is well adap ted to a peace establishment, but even iu case of war with a foreign power, ninety vessels for hostile purposes could, at once be supplied. These -include fifteen moni tors and six frigates for coast defense, to gether with two torpedo boats, the expe riments with which show their efficiency for the purposes intended. The steamship Franklin is regarded as one of our best ships, which, when on her cruise in Euro- pean waters, commanded general aamira tion ; but with the present small personnel of the niTy and as she requires 500 men, there is no probability of putting her int commission.
