NEW YORK, Nov 29.-There was aesthetic
life in America previous to the Centennial
exhibition Of 1875, but it was not very Wig
orous or very progressive. There were
architects who could build splendid
houses, painters who could make beautiful
pictures and sculptors who in enduring
marble could make figures that were alive
with artistic life. But there were not
great many Of any Of these. The men In
the first two classes could have been count
ed perhaps on the fingers OF one hand, and
there would certainly have been no dill
culty in counting the third class in such
manner.
But small as were these classes the pub
lie who could appreciate really good
things was comparatively smaller, and 50
the commonplace men came to be held in
higher esteem than artists Of genuine abll-
ity. OF these commonplace men the Ma
tional Academy Of Design-then the chief
art society in America-was largely com
posed, and fancy that even now the CON
servatives," as they are called, are In
majority in the academy.

SETTLING SILVER'S FATE.

The Monetary Conference May Act on De
Rothschild's Proposals Friday-An Irish
Landlord Fully Agrees With Arch

BRUSSELS, Nov. 30.-The International
Monetary Conference did not meet to-day.
The next sitting will be on FRIDAY, when it
is expected the committee considering the
De Rothschild proposals will make re-

It is understood that the committee takes
as nearest approaching accuracy the statis-
tics prepared by Ottoman Haupt, especially
for the use of the conference, giving esti-
mates compiled from the latest data OF the
monetary stocks of the world and the an
nual production and consumption of gold
and silver. Senator Jones, one of the
Amerlcan delegates, has prepared special
statement of the consumption and produc-
tion of silver The committee has requested
the Danish delegate, c. T. Teitgen, to sub
NIT his plan as an addendum to the Roths-
child plan. The proceedings Of the COM
mittee are secret.
The delegates to the Monetary Confer
ence are greatly interested in Archbishop
Walsh's declaration in favor OF bi-metal-
necessary to save the Irish tenant from
ruin. Sir G. L. Molesworth, an Irish land
lord, said this evening:
Archbishop Walsh is right. I have con-
tended for years that the Irish difficulty is
greatly due to the appreciation of gold, the
value OF which has increased SO per cent
since 1871 The Irish farmers contra act
to pay their rent in gold, but now, owing to
the increased purchasing power of the SOW
ereign, they must raise more produce in or

also suffer, as mortgages and the like
must be satisfied with the appreciated
standard. The substantial reductions made
in rents in the past generation have been in
adequate to meet the difficulty, because the

An audit of the municipal accounts for
the past ten years is being agitated, so it is
said, by number of business men of this
city. The only person named in connec-
tion with the scheme is Attorney w. j.
Howard, of Philadelphia, who owns con-
siderable property in this city. On Tues
day night those interested in the audit met
and subscribed $5O, 600 to cover the expense
necessary for the work.
The scheme as vaguely outlined is that q
general charge of corruption in city affairs
will brought against certain officials and
carried into court. Specific charges will
follow. The object of the scheme is to
ascertain what consideration, if any, was
paid officials or others for valuable fran
chises given away by the city within the
past ten years, to show how much the city
has lost and to place somebody, not named,
behind the bars. An effort to find anyone
who knew anything about the scheme was
made last night, but Jailed.
