mentufy Note.
CoLuMBUs, o., November 2S.-While in
this city to-day, Gen. Keller was called
upon with view OF learning his views
concerning the letter addressed TO him by
the Hon. William Walter Phelps, Con.
greasman-elect, which has been made pub
lie The ex.speaker did not attempt to
disguise the fact that he was out OF humor
with the publicity given the matter, and
said that on taking up the morning papers
he was completely taken by surprise. Gen.
Keifer talked quite freely and substantial
ly as follows: at appears TO me that Mr..
Phelps presumes esconsiderably in addressing
a letter to me marked private and conf.
Dental, and directly after submitting to an
interview revealing the contents OF the let
80 marked. ! was surprised by receiving
the letter asking me 10 withdraw my
name as candidate for the
complimentary vote OF the Re-
publicans as Speaker OF the next
Congress. The honor is an empty one,and
l have never given the subject thought;
but Mr.. Phelps assumes that my with
drawal will bring about harmony between
the Half.breeds and the S.alwarts, In the
first place, l know OF no such existing
factions. II there are such, hold my own
position as Republican, and shall do in
the future, as In the past, that which l
think for the best interests OF the Republi-
can party. 1have not spoken to single
member OF Congress in regard 10 the matter
in question, nor shall l solicit any votes. l
have not announced myself as candidate
for the empty compliment, and OF course
cannot withdraw. Wherever | have
sought the support OF my party friends it
has been for something attached 10 1t, and
not for mere barren recognition"
"Have you written to Mr.. Phelps?'
ayes, sir; answered his letter as soon as
received. think that 1t was on the 18Th
inst"
"What reply did you make?'
"Simply that l had not sought the CON-
plimentary vote for the Speakershir; had
not asked for the vote OF single member,
and thatI should not. Further, that when
the members met in Washington there
could be an understanding arrived at easily.
tina, I should not stand In the way OF any
man the majority Of the Republican mem
bers might see ft to compliment with their
yotts."
The ex-speaker then said: "During the
last Congress l failed to discover Half
breeds or Stalwarts All the Republicans
worked together as such, and l have seen
nothing sinceshowirg that the Republicans
are divided into faction, and that this and
that must be done with view Of securing
harmony. So far as my observation goes
the Republicans are united and l think
the recent elections in the Eastern States,
where 1t was alleged there were conflicting
elements, prove the correctness OF what l
say. shall 20 to Washington in few
days to attend to some important business,
which, as Speaker OF the last House, de-
wolves upon me. There will be no trouble
whatever as regards the complimentary
vote, at least not SO far as am concerned"

MONTREAL, November 22.-Delegates
from all the iron districts in Ohio and
Pennsylvania are here tying to get up a
union among the men employed in that
line in this city and suburbs. A mass
meeting OF the operatives wss held tonight
at STE. Cunigonde, outside the city, and
wal largely attended. Two American
workmen made addresses advocating a
union OF all societies in one league as q
protection in care Of general reduction
In wages. No definite action was taken,
as local leaders discourage a precipitate
move. Wages in this city were never SO
high as they are Of late and no trouble is
expected. The manufacturers have not
proposed any reduction, and as they are
oiled with orders, there isno probability OF
a strike this winter.

NATIONAL BANKS.
The IncreaSe for the Year-The Bouds ON
Which the Circulation II Bnsed.

Which the Circulation II Hnsed.
WAsHlXGToN, D. O., November 23.-The
second chapter Of Comptroller Knox's re.
port shows that 269 National banks were
organized during the year ending Novem.
ber lat, the largest number organized in
any year since 1865. OF these 1872 were in
the Western States, 40 in the Middle States,
45 in the Southern States, II in the Pacific
States, % in the Territories, and only 7 in
the Eastern States. The number OF National
banks in operation November 1st was
2,522, the largest number ever in operation
at any one time. The resources OF 2,50l
National banks, October 9, 1888, was
$2,372, 100000.
Since the last report Illinois has ad.
vauced from sixth to fifth place in national
bank capital. Kentucky displaced New
Jersey, and Minnesota is now the four
teenth State, taking the place ot Vermont
and displscing Iowa and New Hampshire.
Virginia is superseded by Wisconsin,
Texas and California. In the next two
years the charters Of 076 banks expire,
having capital Of S275, ,54S,0O and q cir.
culation Of SIS, 1896, 900.
The average rate Of interest now paid by
the United States on bonds deposited as
security for circulating notes Is about 81
per cent on par value. but equal to 5 10 per
cent only on the current market value.
More than hall the bonds now held by ma
tional banks are three per cents and all are
likely to be called within the next three
years. The lower numbers, which 1t is
safe to estimate will not be called within
the next two years, cannot be purchased
for q premium much less than two per
cent, and at this price there will be loss
upon circulation based on this class Of
bonds II redeemed within three years.
The total amount OF bonds held by the
national banks, State and savings' banks,
November 1st, was SG2l ,2229, $50, or nearly
half the interest bearing debt Of the country.
The Comptroller says that the section Of
the Revised Statutes which places restric.
tions upon loans should be so amended as
to exclude from the limitation mentioned,
legitimate loans upon produce or ware.
house receipts, and some other classes OIL
collateral security, as well as loans upon
United States bonds.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., November 23.-Twenty-
three creditors OF the corporation Of Brown,
Bonnell & Co., iron manufacturers, by
their attorneys and those Of the corpora
ton appeared in Common Pleas Couit
late last evening, and neither party requir'
ing a jury the petition Of the plaintiffs ask
ing judgment for $4,000 was entered on
the court records. The plaintiffs with two
exceptions, Chicago parties, reside in
this vicinity. This confession Of
Judgment indicates the reorgani-
za.ion scheme that has been on
hand since the appointment Of Fayehe
Brown, OF Cleveland, as receiver, has
collapsed. These iron works are the ones
affected by the failure Of Herbert @. Aver,
OF Chicago. The works have been running
almost constantly since March last under
Receiver Brown and have done: e:lairly con-
sidering the depressed condition oi the
market. The works are yet in operation.
II is thought the cooperative reorganization
scheme failed because Of the depression in
the iron market.
