Financial Conference.

New York, Nov. 4.-Developments,
prehaps the most startling that have yet
marked the present financial crisis, are
looked for today as a result OF a series Of
conferences ofinanciers which began yes
terday afternoon at the Weldorf-Astorla
and continued until 4:30 a. %. today at
j. Pierpont Morgsn's mansion. Infor.
nation concerning the outcome OF the
meetings was positively refused when
The money kings scattered at dawn.
That affairs of the Trust Company of
America and the Lincoln Trust Com
psny we're the main topics under con.
siderstion is the general opinion. TIE
question OF distributing the SIS, 900, 900
which will arrive today from Europe,
desired currency Legislation, the United
States Steel Corporations adoption of a
method of payments partly 10 cash and
partly by check as means Of conserving
the specie supply, and other busin' s.
matters which the pressures OF last week
sffairs made it impossible to take up as
they arose, are said to have been con-
sidered.
Rumors concerning the two trust COM
panies tu,ure crowded reports Of other
matters into the back grouud, however.
The mcst persistent story WA that the
city's leading bankers had deemed
changes in the institutions management
expedient, that new officers are to be
named and perhaps have already been
chosen and that both concerns may be
strengthened BY combination with others
which have not felt the stress of the
financial crisis ia so marked a degree.
The officers of the two companies are
reported to have objected strenously to
retirement, however.
Additional engagements OF gold for
importation to this country from Europe
on account OF the money r,ngen y Here
announced today, bringing the total to
1872, 500, 900.

IN -FOUR weeks the Jamestown Expo

night, November 30, the lights will go
Gu. FOR tie last time on one OF the most
beautiful fairs ever held il this country,
and the act of wreckiug the handsome
structures and the salvage work will be-
yi1 sooa thereafter. The exposition has
no. received the encouragement 1t richly
deserved. There may have been some
bad management and some lavish, ii not
reckless, expenditure Of money at times,
but 60 far no dishonesty has been charg-
ed and ,he most charitable construction
to be put upon any Encouragement is
tbstit came from the lack of knowledge
On the part of the managers as how 10
20 conduct 50 large an undertaking as 10
2 worlds fair. Nevertheless and not
wilhstsnding and despite ell the
"knockiug" the jamestown Exposition
hes received, it is, as stated, one Of the
mos. besuliful fairs ever held. The gov
eminent pier, only completed two month s
ago, is a magnificent structure and when
Illuminated at night with myriads tt
electric lamp, is really a thing of beauty.
The historic feature of the fair has sell
dom been Cquslled ard is by far the most
interesting Of the exhibits, presenting 10
a pleasing manner the history Of this
country and Of its people, impartit g
almost at P glance useful knowledge that
otherwise would take years to acquire.

N uerGls, woOIs, grain and fruits ex-
hibits. &C., are most excellent and one
hardly realizes the vast resources of the
various States till after seeing all these
at jamestown. This is especially true
Of the OLD Dominion and it is the duty
of every VirginisD, whether he lives
within or without The borders Of the
STATE, to visit the exposit'onand to see
for himself what wonderful progress Vir-
ginia hiss made. A visit to the James
