ITALY ACCEPTS TERMS

(By Telepraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Messages Ordinance, 1894. Recived, Aug. 8, 8 0.m.).
Geneva, Aug. 2. The deadlock between Baron Aloisi, the Italian spokesman, and Mr. Anthony Eden; the British Minister for League Affairs who is championing the League's responsibility in the preservation of the peace between Italy and Abyssinia, has been broken, accord- ing to despatches from the secret council rooms of Geneva.
Mr. Eden had been insisting that unless Arbitra- tion Commission intervention and negotiations succeed- ed by September, the Council of the League must meet and fix the responsibility for failure.
On the appearance of the deadlock, M. Pierre Laval, the French Prime Minister, announced a united

Rome, August 2
A further threat that Italy may abandon the League of Nations was made by "Gayda" in the Giornal d'Italia to-day.
This was a direct outcome of Sir Samuel Hoare's speech to the House of Commons yesterday, in which the Foreign Minister out- lined Britain's policy, saying in
part:
"We must re-examine our resources and see that Britain is brave enough to have a firm polley for peace, and also strong enough to insist that the world as a whole respect It."

Washington, Aug. 2.
The recent silver stability in New York is occasion- ing much comment.
Experts believe that the United States purchases will continue consistently, although perhaps not sensationally.
They assert that developments have-shown that heavy speculation for drastic rises in price are hazardous, due to the Treasury Department's secrecy. Conversely, the position of President Roosevelt and his recent utterances respecting the Administration's policy precludes the likelihood of any substantial decline in the American price of the white metal--United Press.
