Tor Silver Itrrognttlnn. Washington, Dec. 29.- A resolution oirercd in Republican caucus by Sena tor Wotcolt for the issuance of an in vitation to tho principal powers to join in u international monctnry conference having been adopted, five scnutors, friendly to silver, but not bolterH, were appointed to formulate a plan. Senator Woleott is working hard, and tho plan will probably be presented to the Senate soon after tho holiday reefs'. The tendency among tho members of tho committee is to leave tho number nml selection of tho conforrecs entirely to tho president and thus depart from tho precedent established In the Fifty third Congress, when provision was made for the representation of this country at a conference then proposed by dividing the selection of the con forrecs between thu president und Congress. An appropriation will bo provided for carrying the net into ef fect. It is not yet definitely determined how far tho proposed legislation will go in providing for this country to tuko the Initiative in securing thu con ference, but the probabilities aro that this also will bo left to the discretion of the President. Thu bill is being prepared to provide tho means for enrrying out tho Ilepub licau platform, and tho members of tho committee generally hold that Mi'. McKlnluy vlll require only tho means witli which to proceed to cause him to use his utmost endeavors to se cure an international agreement. The committee has been considera bly encouraged over tho reports re ceived as to the probabilities of suc cess. Senator Hoar, who is a member of tho commltteo, has told the in that France was aggressively in favor of an international understanding, and that tho sentiment In Germany was very favorable, but that tho emperor was tho stumbling block In that country. It was also suggested that Englund would bo found more traotablo than Is popu larly thought, that pressure of a busi ness character might bo brought to bear and that the payment in sliver of debts owed in this country to England might bring tho English peoplo to a realization of the importance of au agreement. WEYLER TOLD TODELAY. Humor Tlmt Hpnln AVI 11 Mnko Overtures lo tho llcliela. Nr.w Yoiik, Dec. 2 8 A Madrid spe cial says: It is rumored tlmt General Weyler. has delayed fresli operations against tho insurgents in order to givo time to discover tho disposition of tho bands and their chiefs since tho death of Mncco, with a view to feeling his way to proparing tho ground for fin islinig tho present Cuban war like the past insurrections in Spain and Cuba, where money and unotllcial negotia tions prove more telling arguments than force of arms, directly tho Insur gents saw no moro hope of foreign aid. It is also bolioved in diplomatic cir cles that Spain will tuko advantage of the dispositions of Presldeu Cleveland nnd Secretury Gluey to negotiate quickly and directly with tho United States to secure American neutrality by granting discriminating concessions in tho contemplated Cuban tariff and fair promises of colonial autonomy be fore the accession of MeKlnley.

It is denied ofllclally und authoritatively that any European government either direct or inuirccuy nan mnae any representa tions whatever to tho United States to restrain or prevent its free action in connection with tho Cuban Insurrec tion, A similar report was denied by authority several weeks ago. A. Von Unicning, secretary of the German cm bissy, Fald that so far as the embassy here was concerned no such intimation had been received. He discredited tho whole story. "Wo havo not hoard ti word concerning Cuba," said he, "for threo months." Senator-elect Money of Mississippi, now n member of the House foreign niYuirs committee, proposes to leave Tampa, Flu., next Saturday morning for Havana, to remain a wcclc or ten days in Cuba. Ho will seek an audi enee with Captain General Weyler and will ask him to provide an escort and a flag of truce, so that he can go into the heart of the territory occupied by the insurgents, with a view of finding out what is going on. Mr. Money says he is determined to make as lengthy a journey into tho interior of Cuba as his time will permit, and it is under stood that he will endeavor to com municate with the insurgents whether Captain General Weyler grants him permission or not. He realizes that it will be a risky thing for him to proceed on his own account if a permit is refused hiin. However, he is so titixioun to have trustworthy information that ho will take the chances, even if lie finds himself luter locked up in prison. It is his intention to stato frankly to the captain general that ho visits the island because it is Impossible to procure from President Cleveland or Secretary Olney tiny ofllclnl Informa tion regarding the condition of affairs in Cuba, und, as a member of Congress and of the House committee on foreign afl'alrs,"ho wishes to know what ho is doing before he casts his vote for or against any ono of tho several resolu tions pending. Mr. Money was tin ofllcer in tho Con federate army during the war under General Forrest, and his four years' service in the field whetted his interest in military operations. He thinks that his visit will nt least enable him to learn moro than he could by depend ing on jtlio btato department lor in formation. SEEKING FOR AN EXCUSE. Illinois National Hank OllU'crx nro l'cnl tent. Washington, Dec. 28. When a com mltteo of directors of the collapsed National Hank of Illinois called on Comptroller Ecklcs to-day for it per sonal conference regarding tho bank's affairs, the doors wero locked and slrict secrecy obsorved. Tho directors stated to Mr. Eckels that they desired to mako a stntemftrt in regard to their connection with the affairs of the bank and toexplnin their relation to its management, sinec the letter written to them in 1895. Mr. Eckels said that he felt confident that the management of the bank had been very negligent, nnd the directors explained that since the receipt of Mr. Eckels' letter they had repeatedly tried to close negotiations for the sale of the Calumet Electric railway, but the business conditions of the country, the long political campaign and the trouble with tho Diamond Match company had caused a failure of these negotiations thus far. They expressed a desire to do everything In their power to aid tho receiver in realizing the utmost from tho assets of tho bank. Mr. Eckels Impressed upon the di rectors that ho would expect them to make every possible effort to realize from the Calumet road and nt the best figure possible. Tho delegation informed the comp troller that they had no one to recom mend for receiver, and no protest to make against the appointment of any one, and wero perfectly willing to co operate with nnyone Mr. Eckels might see fit to appoint. The delegation said the directors were very hopeful that the affairs of the bank would be completely settled within the next twelve months and that every obligation would bo met, and that the assets probably would be sufficient to leave the real esthto cicar. This afternoon Mr. Adams of tho commltteo gave out tho following: "We had a very pleasant interview with tho comptroller. Our purpose was to show whut we had tried to do to Improvo the condition of the bank sineo tho receipt of the comptroller's letter a year ago. Our talk was main ly about the Calumet Electric. We feel that the comptroller will do nil he can to realize all that can possibly bo realized out of the assets." (.'mulcted of Hancln? IIli Wife. Clahkr, S. I)., Dec. 28. Christian Christiansen has just been convicted of wife murder and sentenced to tho pen itentiary for life. It was supposed that his wife had committed suicide, us she was found hanging to a trco in a tree claim.

Hank Directors Misled. Chicago, Dec. 21. "Never did i see on the book kept for the purpose, of informing the directors of tho bank ns to who were the applicants for loans the mine of the Calumet Electric rail way." said Director Page of the defunct National Hank of Illinois to-day when asked how such large loans were made by the bank and ostensibly given with the sanction of the directors. Mr. Pago said as to the manner in which tho business of tho bank, us far as tho directors were concerned, was conducted: "The directors appointed from among themselves what you might term for convenience sake an auditing committee The plan was to let one director drop out caeli mouth, some other taking his place. Eacli day the committee would meet at the bank. Its business being to- p;m upon tho applications for loans. A record of these applications was kept in a book designed for the pur pose. In this book was also kept op posite the name of each applicant a record of the collntcrnl offered to ef fect tho loan. When the committee wns ready for business Mr. Schneider would come into the room, bringing with him this book and with it an other book in which was recorded the daily balance of the would-be bor rower and also a record of how much ho had previously borrowed." i'iii:9ii)i:NT hchnkiukii to iilami:. "You say that Mr. Schneider used to bring this in?-' "Almost invariably. Seldom was Mr. Hammond before the committee. At odd times he would bo called In to answer some question as to an appli cant's business or to clear up a point about some collateral offered, but Cap tain Schneider was almost always tho bearer of the books. The committee would look over the books carefully, and in some instances refuse to sanc tion a loan. In others tlio loan nsked for would be cut down, nud In cases where the applicant and security wero nil right the accommodation was of course granted."' "Did the committee never ask to see the actual collateral offered or did they simply take the word of Mr. Schneider or Mr. Hammond that the security was actually in tho bank and actually what it purported to be in the memorandum book'?'' "Wo had been in business with Mr. Schneider nnd Mr. Hammond many of us for thirty years. To havo made such a demand of them would have bfcen a personal insult." "Were not the suspicions of the com mittee ever aroused by the lnrge sums loaned to the Calumet Electric'.'" . "Never did I see the name of the Calumet Electric railway appear on this book as an applicant for n loan." "What have you to say about the published statements regarding Mr. Hammond s connection with tlio un explained transactions?" "They aro all true; every one of them " I B1IA1U' WOHK ON TWO SIDl.B. The Post declares that W. A. Ham mond, second vice president of the closed National Hank of Illinois, is to be made tho scapegoat of the failure, and continues, quoting a friend of Hammond: "Hammond is a broken man to-day, but he is not any more to blame for tho amount of money loaned on Calumet securities than are the members of the finance committee of the bank and Its directors. It wns necessary to tlio purposes of it man conncctc'd with tho South Chicago City railway and an ofllcer of one of tho best known banks of this city, to de preciate the Calumet Electric road's stock, and to this end these two men brought about the wrecking of the Notional Hank of Illinois. Of tho bank's funds S2, 17.",0!)() had been loaned on the Calumet sccuritio. The plun for wrecking was brilliant. Cause on investigation, depreciate Calu met stock und buy it. Then com bine this valuable property of sixty three miles of new track equipment and franchise with the South Chicngo railway, eventually combining with tlio Chicago City railway and make n fortune of millions within five or ten years. The truth of the mat-er is that members of the finance committee nnd certain directors of the Nntional Dank of Illinois have known the amount of the Calumet loan an I have hoped to make individual fortunes on the suc cess of the venture. George Schneider, tho president of tho National Dank of Illinois, lives in u rather showy brick residence at 2000 Michigan avenue. He is 73 years of age and Is rather feeble In health. When called upon to-day he said he should havo no statement whatever to make and sciincd unite broken. THE GRAND ISLAND SOLD. Only Ono 151(1 of 83,000,000 MhiIo for tho lto.ul.
