servation Of the state of public sentiment
in Europe upon this question, and have
not found it to be such rs to justify me In
proposing IN international conference.
There is, however. am sure. growing
sentiment in Europe in favor of the larger
use of silver, and know of no more effect
val way of promoting this sentiment than
by accumulating gold here. A scarcity Of
gold In the European reserves will be the
most persuasive argument for the use Of
silver. The exports of gold to Europe
and continued until the close of
July, aggregated over s7O,OoO,oo0 The
net loss of gold during the fiscal year was
nearly 1913, 0O0,O0O That no serious none
tary disturbance resulted was most graft
Tying, and gave to Europe fresh evidence
OF the strength and stability of our inan.-
cial institutions. With the movement of
crops the outflow of gold was speedily
stopped, and a return set in UP to Dec
ember l we had received of our gold loss, at
the port of New York, s27, 1854, 900, and it is
confidently believed that during the win
ter and spring this aggregate will be stead
lily and largely increased.
The Cash surplus.
The presence of large cash surplus in
the treasury has for many years been the
subject of much unfavorable criticism and
has furnished az argument to those who
have desired to place the tariff upon q
purely revenue basis. It was agreed by
all that the withdrawal from circulation Of
SO large an amount of money was an en-
barrassment to the business of the coun-
try and made necessary the intervention
of the department at frequent intervals to
relieve threatened monetary panics. The
surplus on March l. 1890, was SlS3, 827,-
1929. The policy of applying this sur
plus to the redemption of the interest bear
ing securities of the United States was
thought to be preferable to that of deposit
ing it without interest in selected national
banks. There have been redeemed since
the date last mentioned, of interest-bear-
ing securities, S259, O79,35O, resulting in
reduction of the annual interest charge of
S11, 6S3,675. The money which had been
deposited in banks without interest is
being gradually withdrawn and used in
the redemption of bonds. The result of
this policy. of the silver le2islation and Of
the refunding of the ~ per cent. bonds
has been large increase of the money in
circulation. At the date last named the
circulation was 81, 404, 205. 500; or $23.0 per
capita, while on the 1st of December, 1891,
it had increased to 81, 577, 262,07O, or $24.3S
per capita. The offer of the secretary of
the treasury to the holders of the ~ per
cent bonds to extend the time of redemp-
ton at an interest of 2 per cent, was ac-
cepted by the holders of about one-half
the amount and the unextended bonds
are being redeemed on presentation.

sent up. Explosions were made on the
ground both at regular and extremely
Irregular intervals and this was mostly
done by the cowboys.
The first rain that fell after their ar

any experiment, Yet the Dyrenforth

They did not begin to prepare the ma

even unpacked. The fact is, the winds
had been in the south east-for some time,
which is sure indication OF rain, ana
there were good local rains through this
section at that time.
In this connection, the following from
Dyrenforth dispatch in the New YORK
World, Is worthy Of notice:

Special Telegram TO the Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., November H.
Mr.. Mills, Of Texas, denies emphatically
the truth of a story published In Bal
timore paper this morning, in which /,
was alleged that he had made deal
with anti-silver men in New York.
The story said that Mr.. Mills at !
conference with the editor Of the Nev
York Times, the editor of the st. Lous
Republic and certain Cleveland DEM
Gratis, in New York last summer, had
agreed in consideration of their suppot
in his candidacy for the Speakership ef
the House of Representatives, to patk
the Coinage, Weights and Measures
Committee so that no free coinage legs
lation would be possible in the next
Congress.
Mr.. Mills has addressed q letter 10
the editor of the Baltimore paper, IN
which he declares there is no truth N
the story; that he has had no such COZ
ference as reported with anti-silvtr
men, and has made no promises regart-
ing the composition of committees 81
the next House in case he should le
elected Speaker.
The story was given circulation by
an indscreet friend of Mr.. Crisp, q
Georgia, whom, however, it would b
unfair to hold responsible for it. 1t has
made Mr.. Mills supporters very indis
nant. and is likely to hurt rather thar
help Crisp.

LONDON, November 12.-Though at
midnight last night the great gale in
England has subsided and the dark
heavy storm clouds had passed away to
the northeastward, it seems that the
storm is still prevailing in southwestern
Ireland.
A despatch received this morning
from Skibbereen, which lies forty miles
southwest of Cork, states that the gale
is raging there with great fury. Many
houses at Skibbereen and some at Aid
court have been greatly damaged. The
gale now prevailing in that portion OF
Ireland is believed to be the first OF the
storm which weather indications last
night showed approaching the coast
from the Atlantic.
From Ramsgate on the east coast Of
the Isle Of Thanet, Kent, from which
many fishermen sail daily to pursue
their calling brings the intelligence that
some OF the hardy residents OF that
town made their last cruise. A fishing
smack hailing from Ramsgate reached
here this morning after terrible exPe-
rience, four Of her crew, while assisting
in handling the smack In the worst Of
the gale were swept overheard and
drowned.
There is great excitement In South
port at the mouth of the RibbIe on the
Irish Sea over the fate of the crew of
life boatmen, who went out yesterday
to attempt to save the crew OF the ves-
sci which was In distress off that place.
The lifeboat was fully manned. Up to
this morning no intelligence of them
has been received, and by many they
have been given up as lost.

CHILEAN AFFAIRS.
A De allied Account of the Situation In
an Uneasy Country.

A De allied Account of the Situation In
an Uneasy Country.
Special Correspondence TO the associated Press
VALPARAISO, CHILE, September 80.
During the month which has elapsed
since the overthrow OF President Bal
maceda, affairs in Chile have been re-
markably quiet. The principal excite
ment was caused by the suicide OF Pres
ident Balmaceda. The feeling against
him was very bitter and there Is no
doubt as to his fate II he had been
captured. His hiding place had be-
come known and negotiatiations were
pending for his surrender.
The suicide attracted attention out
for few days. The hostility displayed
towards the United States and It's OIL
cial representative is creating excite
ment and comment. There is a strong
feeling against America. Numerous
criticisms have been passed upon the
conduct of American civil and naval rep
resentatives here, but the charges are
without foundation and arise from 5he
fact that American officials did not
give support 10 the reolution.
Every foreign resident along the entire
coast OF Chile sympathized with the
revolutionists, Americans as well as
Europeans. Several Incidents occurred
in which the American representatives
were obliged TO take decided action, ana
as this action was against the revolu-
tionists they regarded itas hostile feel
ing. The seizure of the steamer ltata
was the first.
The next which occurred was the cut
ting of the cable line of the Central and
South American Cable Company near
Iouioue. This work was done under
the supervision OF Captain Schley,. OF
the Baltimore.
Consequently the revulutionists came
to regard America as allied to Balmace'
dr,,. Thanf9qsi Bfo@n.. n1i6ss day the
revolutionists landed at Quintero TO
make the final attack upon Balmaceda,
Admiral Brown left Valparaiso with the
San Francisco and went to Quintero To
watch the landing of the troops and
then returned to Valparaiso.
AS soon as she anchored here an Off
Ger went ashore with dispatch to the
Navy Department at Washington.
w lbulu dill lOuT VI lWO dIJtT DdlHdCc-
da's troops, who had been in readiness,
we're moving toward Quintero, and
there were newspaper ''extras"
on the streets, stating that the
San Francisco had just arrived with
news that the revolutionists were land
ing. The details given above are relat-
ed by persons who represent large
American interests.
This has been circulated In every part
of Chile and is the cause OF the i'll feel
ing toward Americans. So much COM
ment was made that Admiral Brown
wrote letter to Minister Egan,
asserting that it was generally
known that the troops were
landing and he went to obtain in
formation for the United States gov
ernment, and that he conveyed no news
to any one else.
One result of the feeling against
Americans is marked discrimination
against American naval officers in mat
ters Of social entertainment on shore.

Asked about his Confederate flag or

cOurse we understand that Southern con-

for those differences. Union veterans

enemies. We realize that the war came

suit OF the conflict. We have always
had the highest regard for the men VINO
fought for their flag.

what he is, so long as he believes in 1t.
