AMERICAN DELEGATES.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 2s.-Dillon.. Harring-
ton, O'Connor. Gill, O'Brien and Sullivan
held a secret conference tonight. In re-
Sponse TO intcrrogations, note was sent
out saying that all statements as to their
views on the present position of the Irish
party are entirely unauthorized The dele
gates have made no communication to the
press as to their opinions, and do not in
tend to do so for the present.
There is general opinion among those
who have stadied the situation, however,
that the decision of the conference will be
against Palnell as leader. O'Brien's name
has been mentioned as possible leader, but
it is said here that O'Brien himself would
suggest some other man, such as Justin Nc

God Shipment, 10 Europ..

Wall street is, Shall we ship any gold to
Europe? And ii so. when? Sterling ex-
change rates are rapidly rising to point

Leading bankers say they do not expect
that point to be reached till January 1str
Many think, however, it will be reached
very soon. The advance in sterling rates
for sixty-day bills has been much more
rapid than for demand bills. The condition
of the local money market will exert an
important influence in determining the

An Immense Increase in the Circulation o
der His Administration


WASHINGTON, Nov 2S.-Figures taken
from the forthcoming report of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury show that during
twenty years, from 1870 to the present time,
the total increase in the circulation has been
over S727,0C0,o00, making an average in
crease per capita Of S14 SO in that time. Dur
ing the last ten years the average monthly
increase was $685. 992, and the increase
per capita So 50. For nineteen months.
from March, 1889. to October. 1890. the aggre-
gate increase in circulation among the pe0-
pie was S93,s66,Sl3, and the increase per
capita about 81 so, while for the corre-
spending period, from March, 1856, to Octo-
Der, 1886. there was decrease of S21 $780,
493. making difference in favor of the last
nineteen months of over Sc, 600 per
month. The large increase since March,
1889, is mainly due to the present policy of
keeping the surplus as low as possible by
the purchase and redemption OF bonds, while
the decrease from 1885 to 1856 WAS due to the
opposite policy.
