lAh- she reports having been becaImed three days in sight Of
oahu One Of the California papers reports her IL DAYS las.
'-se, and only 10 days from Land to land. :" From pilot to

Gold in New York lad been as high as I7OI on the 18th of !
March, IL had fallen and was fuctuahng between I65 and /
lG7 at the latest advices, April 2 Can any one wonder at this |
premium on goh, when the immense amount OF government |
paper afoat is taken into account. The New York Herald
calls public attention to the following table showing the amount
Of paper money which will probably be in circulation in the
loyal States before the close Of the present year:
Legal tenders of 1892 1897 7s7 100

"By this II appears that we shall soon have a paper cireul.-
smc9nting to over twelve hundred millions Of dollars,
eiuded which was spread over the entire country three wear.
ssoI More thar one thousand millions Of the above amount

me only wonder ia that the difference between the value OF
gold and paPsr money in the United States is not greater than
Il g. The business men and fnancers in the United States
anticipate a continued advance in the price Ct gold, until the
Issues OF psper money are checked, which can hardly be ex-
peoted q take place as long rs the war continues. The gold
lark IN Europe IS assuming an ugly aspect, and both gold
and silver are being drained from the banks. Where it goes no
one knows Here is an item referring to France:
