| __ tHE ORGANIZATION SENDS STRONG LETTER TO BANK OF ENGLAN D. aYER RESERVE THE MUSE. Probability That the Knicllsh Govern¬ ment May Be Coerced In the Matter. Advices from London state that the Jtrotest which the bankers of that city drew up at their meeting in the clear¬ ing house Wednesday against the pol¬ icy of the governor of the bank of En¬ gland in announcing its willingness to maintain one-fifth of its bullion reserve in silver was presented to the bank Thursday. The resolution was ac- vmmpanied by a formal letter, and the resolution itself is in the name of the Clearing House association, as, although the members were not represented at the meeting, a majority of the mem¬ bership was represented and unani¬ mously adopted the resolution, which is as follows: “That this meeting entirely disap¬ proves of the Bank of England agree¬ ing to exercise the option, permitted by the act of 1884, of holding one- fifth or any other portion whatever of silver as a reserve against the circula¬ tion of the Bank of England notes. “That a copy of this resolution be sent to the Bank* of England, the prime minister, the first lord of the treasury and the chancellor of the ex¬ chequer.” had begun An organized movement to induce other commercial bodies to protest against the announcement of the governor of iha Bank of England. A high official who was a participant in the negotiations between the United States bimetallic commissioners and the British cabinet said to the repre¬ sentative of the Associated Press: “I fear the bankers will frighten the government into receding from their stand for bimetallism. They have for¬ gotten that parliament unanimously resolved measures to secure a stable ratio of exchange between Ilicks-Beaeh, gold and silver, and Sir Michael the chancellor of the exchequer, pledged himself to do all in his power .to carry the resolution into effect. A t The English public have forgotten also that ten of the fourteen members «sf the agricultural commission signed a report recommending bimetallism as a palliative for the agricultural de¬ pression in India. The public and newspapers seem to think the govern¬ ment is influenced merely by a desire to secure the good will of the United States, when it is attempting to carry srat the declared policy of its parlia¬ ment.” HAZELTON INQUEST ON.

Regarding the shooting at Latti- mer, Po,, on September 1, the follow¬ ing resolution was adopted: “Resolved, That we declare the act of Sheriff Martin and his deputies at Lattimer in shooting on the marching miners then on strike, was a brutal and unprovoked massacre, inspired by the coal operators of that section to ilefeat the demands of the men for better conditions. “Resolved, That ever ready use in late years in court injunctions, armed force and state militia in times of labor troubles, is only part of the insidious program to entirely subjugate the workers of America for the most de¬ basing degradation. “Resolved, That we condemn most severely the wanton killing and wound¬ ing of poor miners at Lattimer and will give our fullest help through the trade unions and American Federation of Labor to realize moneys for the legal prosecution and conviction of Sheriff Martin and his murderous minions, that through the courts of our land even-handed justice may be done to atone for these revolting murders.” Frank J.

He said: “I cannot, of course, pledge in ad¬ vance the government of the United States, but so far as the present is concerned, such a step is not in con¬ templation. The United States has probably intimated through Minister Woodford that the present state of affairs is most deplorable and that if we could be of any assistance in bring¬ ing such a condition of things to an end we should be glad to offer our services. “But you may state absolutely that no ultimatum has been sent to Spain by the United States.” BIG BREWERY IN ASHES.
