PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2S.-Great interest
was manifested in this city last night on
account of the promised appearance of the
comet, and as the shades of evening began
to gather hundreds of men, women and
children gathered on the streets for the
purpose of witnessing the expected heav-
emily wonders. There were many who were
afraid to venture from their homes and pre-
ferred to die by their own fireside if the OK
pected death was to come. Three cases of
insanity through fear of the destruction of
the world were reported by the police. Tie

Hone for a Good Item Yet.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2s.-Professor Bar
nard, of Lick observatory, who has made a
special study of comets. declares that from
his observation the comet in Andromeda is
really Biela's comet. He says that It's orbit
is precisely the same as Biela's, land it is Dat-
ural to assume it to be the same. Barnard
saw the comet last on Nov. 81, when it was
four times as large as on the Sth, but was
fainter. Barnard added: "The fact that
the comet is increasing so markedly in It's
apparent size is conclusive proof to me that
it is getting nearer to us, and the fact that
It is getting fainter is quite natural"

ALBANY, Nov. 2S.-Professor Boss, of the

no foundation whatever for such an opin-
ion now. l have made many observations
upon the comet and most careful computa-
tions as to its orbit. The comet is unques-
tionably at least 100,000,000 miles beyond
the orbit of Biela's comet. 1t was in peri
helion last June, when its distance from
the sun was 100000, coo miles, and from the

Since June the distance of the comet from

and for several weeks its distance from the
earth has been increasing. until the dis
lance has become 150,000,000 miles. Al!
these figures are uncertain in the sense that
the distance may be wrong 10 per cent.

"A Dane Has an Elaborate Plan--Arch-
bishop Walsh as Financier.
LONDON, Nov. 29.-At the international
monetary conference at Brussels yesterday
Alfred de Rochschild presented a proposal
for the international coinage of silver. The
scented in the conference shall be associated
in the purchase of silver to the minimum
amount of e5,000000 sterling, and shall
take fixed proportion of this amount at
limit of 43 pence per ounce, the purchases
to be made directly by the treasures of the
various countries or through the agency
of financial institutions. 1t is expected that
the British delegates will support this
plan in the interest of the Indian currency
The proposal was referred to a special COM
mission of fourteen delegates.
What Dane Will Propose.
A Danish monometallist delegate has a
proposal which he will offer formally after
the Rothschild scheme has been debated.
His plan is the coinage of silver five franc,
four shilling, or dollar pieces, rated to gold
according to the price of silver in the year
previous to the adoption of an international
agreement with seignorage of 10 per
cent. He will also propose the appoint
ment of permanent international com.
mission to fix the initial prices. Should
the price of silver fall to 5 per cent. below
the coinage ratio the commission will have
authority to fix a new ratio and order the
recoinage of the pieces. These coins will
be legal tender internationally, banks to
keep them as reserve against notes and to
have the right to demand gold in exchange
for them at any time from the government
issuing the particular coin held.
Complains of Senator Allison.
The Post, discussing the currency ques-
ton and the conference at Brussels, COM
plains that Senator Allison is representa-
tive merely of the silver party of the United
States, and that therefore little can be
hoped for from the conference, as there
will be no chance to discuss any practical
arrangement to utilize silver as a subsidi-
airy currency. The Vienna correspondent
of The Chronicle says: "The American pro-
posals at the Brussels monetary conference
being repetition of the bimetallic pro-
gramme rejected at the conferences of 1873
and 1881, have caus, {. appointment here,
