FIGURES THAT DON'T LIE.
BIore Money in Circulation Than Ever Be
fore in This Country.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. - Statements
lave been prepared at the treasury de-
lartment showing the amounts of
money in circulation on the first day of
July for the years 1860, 1865 1885, 1899
and 1891. from which it is apparent that
the assertions so often repeated of late,
that there has been since the war a
great reduction of the amount of money
in circulation, are entirely without
foundation.
All the statements furnished are made
upon precisely the same basis. The
amount of each kind of money in the
country is first stated. From Eat is de-
Quoted the amount in the treasury, and
the remainder is given as the amount in
circulation. There is nothing omitted
from the statement which should APP
pear there except minor coins, nickels
and pennies, and they are left out of all
the reports because of the difficulty in
estimating the amount of them in use.
AS the amount at present is certainly
greater than in the earlier years, their
omission will not be unafvorably criti-
cised by those who contend that there
is now a scarcity of money.
To state all the facts in few words,
the amount of money in circulation in
1860 was about $435, 100000, and the
amount per capita was $685..
In 1865 there were $123, 900, 600 in cir
culation and the per capita was $20S2.
Twenty years later the circulation was
81, ,202, 100000 and the per capita was
$23.02
On Jan. last the amount was nearly
capita allowance, the highest in the
history of the United States.
Owing to shipments of gold to foreign
countries there has been decline since
that time, not only in the per capita,
but in the total also. However, the
total circulation ON the 1st inst,
Notwithstanding the outflow of gold,
was about 81, 500, 100000 and the
amount per capita was $23.37.

SWEET WAR,
And One by Which the General
Public is Benefited.
That of the Sugar Trust Against
Claus Spreckels.

Granulated Sugar Reduced to Four Cents
Pound, Considerably Less Than One
Half What 1t Was Two Years Ago-The
Profit of Refining Brought Down to a
Very Low Point.
New YORK, Aug. GA bitter fight
was begun Tuesday by the sugar trust
against Claus Spreckels, who has been q
thorn in the side of the sugar refiners on
this coast for many years. About ten
days ago the president of the sugar trust
was called away from the city by the
ultimately fatal illness of his father, F.
G. Hayemeyer. While he was away the
sugar trust maintained its price for
granulated sugar, but Claus Spreckels,
who had been keeping his rates up to
those charged by the trust, at once an,
nounced a reduction of one-sixteenth of
cent per pound. He cut seriously into
the trade of the sugar trust, but no ac-
tion to meet the cut was taken, as it was
believed that as soon as Spreckels' sup
ply was placed he would retire from the
market. He kept on filling orders, how
ever, and practically supplied all de-
mands.
Monday President Havemeyer re-
turned and at once ordered the sugar
trust price on granulated sugar reduced
one-eight of cent per pound. or one-six-
teenth of cent below the cut made by
Spreckels The latter Tuesday made
another reduction, bringing his price
of a cent below that Of the
trust. The reductions made bring the
price of granulated sugar down to four
cents per pound in Philadelphia, ON
which per cent is allowed off, making
the net cash price three and ninety-two-
cents, the lowest ON record.
The price named by the sugar trust is
four and one-sixteenth cents. In Au-
gust, 1889, after the formation of the
trust, sugar sold for eight and three
fourth cents per pound. A curious
feature of the fight q that in the raw
sugar market both parties are urgent
buyers, and the sugar trust Tuesday
bought raw sugar at three and five
sixths cents. This brings the profit Of
down to very low point.

Welcome, Germany.


BERLIN, Aug. 6.-The foreign COM

in arousing interest among the officials
and merchants in the worlds fair. AS
is generally known, it had been decided
before the arrival of the committee in
Berlin that Germany would be repre-
sented at the fair, but the efforts of the
committee, who have been greatly aid
ed by Mr.. William Walter Phelps the
American minister, have resulted in
much greater interest being taken on
all sides and determipation that the
German exhibit shall be worthy of the
great nation that sends it,

fatherland and made their homes in the

others go to Italy, Sweden and Switzer.

The party which will visit Berne, Ge-

NO NATIONAL BISHOPS.

The Propaganda WIN Not Accord Such
Prerogatives as Proposed by Cahonsly.
ROME, Aug. 6.-The recent interview
between President Harrison and Car
dinal Gibbons created interest here as
an indication of the Importance attached
in America to the Cahensly question.
The pope, Cardinal Simeoni and the
chiefs of the propaganda have been
much impressed with the declarations
of the president The tributes of the
American press to the wisdom of the
pope's decisions are also greatly appreci-
ated. The holy bee sincerely regrets
that the friends of Mr.. Cahensly have
spread a report that Rome placed ob-
stacles in the way of his scheme. From
the first the propaganda declared to Mr..
Cahensly that the holy see would never
accede to the demands for national
bishops. Cardinal Simeoni and Mgr.
Persito both assert that the Cahensly
scheme will never be accepted by the
propaganda. "Never," they declare,
Twill it accord such prerogatives to inn
migrants. Mr. Cahcnsly committed a
grave imprudence. We can never enter
upon such course"

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED HIS SON.
Unintentional Act of Wealthy PhiIadeI-
Dhia Butcher,


PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 6.-By an un-
lucky blow struck during quarrel
Tuesday, j. Henry Jahke, a prominent
West Philadelphia butcher, who has ac-
cumulated large fortune, became the
slayer of his only son, and is now pros
trated with grief over the sad affair.
Young Jahke drank considerably Tues
day morning and his father demonstrated
with him for being under the influence
of liquor. The young man resented this
and became quarrelsome, and as he is u
powerful fellow his father picked up a
piece of gas pipe to frighten him away.
There was no intention on the fathers
part to strike his son, the gas pipe fall
ing over the sons arm as he grabbed his
father, striking him on the left temple.
The wound was not considered of any
consequence, but it grew worse and the
young man died about midnight. The
father was committed to await the ac-
tiOn of the coroner.
Mr.. Jahl1e is one of the most promi-
nent Germans in this city. He is con
nected with nearly all of the German
societies and many building and loan
associations.

They Approve of His Plan of Jewish

PARIS, Aug. GA conference of the
French Jewish associations was held
here, at which the plans of Baron Hirsch
for the ameliorati0n of the condition OF
destitute Hebrews were discussed. The
conference approved of the plan of the
baron aiming at the cooperation Of the
Jews in Europe and America in the work
of organizing the emigration of Jews
from Russia. 1t was decided to
again send delegates to Russia for
the purpose of constituting n cen
trail committee i'll st, Petersburg,
and of establishing provincial com
mittees to be charged with regulating
the exodus. Emigrants leaving without
the sanction of the central committee
will have no share in the benefits of
Baron Hirsch's arrangements. 1t will,
of course be necessary to obtain the con-
sent of the Russian government before
these committees can act in Russia,
but this consent is confidently hoped
for.
Baron Hirsch is making arrangements
to secure the cooperation Of the German
central committee iii his plan as out
lined above.

New YORK, Aug. 6.-The rumoril
which have prevailed some time concern
ing threatened revolution in Mexico
for the purpose of deposing President
Diaz were, in a measure, confirmed by a
passenger who arrived here on board the
steamer Yumu1i from Mexico. The pas
senger is a man Of wealth and influence
and has always been a. warm supporter
of Diaz, but for prudential reasons he
does not want to have his name used.
He said that there were strong evidences
of a coming revolution in Mexico. The
people there are much dissatisfied or are
becoming so with the administration of
Diaz. He has been acting in tyranni-
cal manner for some time toward GER
tain class. OF course, they are much
dissatified. The speaker said he would
not be surprised if revolution broke
out within the next sixty days. In an
ticipation of this outbreak there had been
recently large shipments of specie. These
shipments were straws showing which
way the wind of public opinion was
blowing. On board the steamer Yumuri
there were at least $500, 900 in Mexican
silver being shipped to Bremen and about
500, 900 being sent to Havre. The
amount is unusually large, and it is in
