(Special. )-I)cmo-ertt of tho stnto house havo sugested V. J. Hryan for tho party nominee for gov ernor two years hence. It Is said here that at an Informal conference of a num ber of prominent democrats In Douglas county Saturday night It wns agreed that although weak ns a presidential candidate ho would be tho strongest man the party could put up ns a gubernatorial nominee. "The vote last Tuesday docs not show that Ilrynn Is less papular now than ho was four years ago when ho carried the stato by an overwhelming mnjorlty," said Henry Ilium of Omaha, one of the democrats who ore proposing Hryan for governor. "The peoplo didn't want to change tho national administration. In Nebraska Ilrynn Is ust as strong as ho ever was and If ho Is nominated for governor ho would sweep the state. There are only three men In the stato capable of polling n majority of tho votes for our party. They aro Ilrynn, Bmyth nnd Hitchcock and our next candi date for goverLor will bo one of these men Mr. Hryan says ho Is going to stny In poli tics. If the legislature Is republican tho Bcnatonihlp Is out of tho question, but he could easily get tho nomination for gov ernor." Another state house democrat nnd friend of Illtchccck did not look with so much favor on tho suggestion of Bryan's name. Ho snid: "It may bo truo that Hryan Is as strong ah nny man In the party, but It Is nevertheless truo that he would bo weak ns n cnndldntc. If wo put him up for governor tho national republican party would center Its forces against him here In this stnto nnd ho would bo defeated and defeated bndly. Mr. Hryan Is n young man and there Is plenty of time left for him to look fcr political proferment." Frnl Jewell un nil Hntlninter. Tho clerks and secretaries employed In tho governor's ofllco are still nt work under tho direction of I'rlvuto Secretary Krcd Jewell In n vain endeavor to llguro out a majority for William A. I'oyntcr. Mr. Jow oll has Invented a new method of calculat ing tho result of an election, and In tho trial teat It worked satisfactorily to him by Indicating thnt Mr. I'oynter received moro votes thnn did his opjocent. Instead of counting tho voto in nil vountles heard from ho excludes Douglas nnd ten other counties which wont strongly republican, leaving I'oyntcr n few hundred votes ahead. Ho then concedes that Douglns will cancel tho majority thus obtained, but Insists thnt ns several of tho remaining counties gavo mo fusion nominee n majority two years Bgo, thoy did tho same this year. Of tho cloven counties excluded from Mr. Jewell's list nlno gavo I'oynter a plurality of 131 votes two years ego, but Hayward's nlu rallty in the other two was many times as large. No ono can bo found nt tho stnto houso outside of tho governor's ofllco who will ad mit that ho believes I'oynter is elected. Tho populist stnto committee has closed Its hend(unrtcrs, ordered out tho tolo pnones ami slopped tabulating llgures. Ono deluded populist inquired of one of the attaches of tho governor's ofllca over tho telephono If It was safe to wager money on tho election. Ho said he had read tho claims of tho Omaha fusion organ and was about convinced that Dietrich was defeated Not to' lift On. wo sum uciievo mat olllclal canvass will show that I'oynter was elected," was tho response, "but we would not advlso you to bet any money on thnt kind of proposition." Secretary Jewell has been annoyed by tho figures published In tho republican news papers. "I havo lost SGOO on election through wagers," ho said today, "and I am now willing to wager $100 moro that my figures are nenrer correct than those pub lished In tho newspapers. "I regret thnt tho papers havo seen fit to mistake my position," ho continued. "All thnt I claim or havo claimed is that tho vote on governor will show that who ever Is elected will not have n plurality of over 300 and that tho chances aro In favor of tho election of I'oyntcr. If tha peoplo will withhold their decision until the odlclal voto Is In they will then agree that my estimate Is nearer correct thnn that of tho newspapers. I agree that when tho oftlclal voto Is In I will concede Diet rich's election If tho returns show that ho l.ns been elected by ono vote.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 12. The nnnual re port of the treasurer of the United States, Kills II. Kobc'ts, on mo operation aim condition of tho treasury, wns submitted to Secretary dago today. Mr. Roberts says the growth and prosperity of the country and the general activity of business nro reflected In tho transactions of hlB ofllcn The net ordinary revenues of tne govern ment for ther fiscal year was J56.,240,8u2, the largest In the history of the country exceeding those of 1866, tho next high est, by $17.291. 2S8. The Increase of $51, 280,232 over tho preceding year was con' trlbuted from nil tho general sources, but chiefly from customs and Internal revo' nue. On the sldo of tho expenditures there wns n not increnso 01 jiii.aos.oss in com parison with lSt'9, bo that tho deficiency of JS9,lll,fi60 for that year was converted Into a surplus of $79,527,060 in 1900. The grcts receipts under warrant, Including those on account of the public debt, were $1,3S7,299,262, nnd tho disbursements !, 193.943,472, u largo Increase on both sides over the previous year. With tho exception of July, 1S99, when there was a deficiency of $3,S06,S32, a sup plus was realized for every month of the year, tho ono for Juno being tho largest, at $17,895,159. Tho largest receipts for u single day wore $5,199,513, February 26, 1900, ami tho largest expenditures $1.S03,- 000 July 3, 1900. The lnrgcst surplus on any one day was $4,047,396, August 29, nnd the largest deficiency $2,318,621, July 5 1899. Divisions) of Issue ami lteilciniit Ion Promptly on tho enactment of the new financial law the divisions of issue anil re demptlou therein provided for were es' tnbllshcd und to them wero transferred the records nnd nccounts relating to tho tssuo nnd redemption of United States notCH, gold certificates, sliver certificates nnd currency certificates. Up to October 1, 1900, $22,530,854 In United States notes and $3,594,708 In treasury notes were re deemed In gold out of the reserve fuud of $150,000,000. Kach day the notes so re deemed were exchanged for gold from tho cncral fum)i B0 lmU tho. reHVTyo waa kept utuct In amount nnd In character. He- sides this reserve fuud, tho trust funds consisting of gold coin, silver dollars and bullion, and United States notes held for the redemption of certificates nnd trens ury notes nmounted on tho dny tho act beenmo n law to $723,062,283 nnd Increased by November 1, 1900, to $740,965,679, Exclusive of the reserve fund tho nvalla bio cash balance of tho treasury was greater on Juno 30, 1900, by $24,887,193 than nt the snmo dato In 1899, but this gain was partly offset by n decrease of $8,663,273 In ths next ensuing ciunrter. The cash assets be yond liabilities wero $49,273,017 on Juno 30, 1899, $50,327,602 on Juno 30, 1900, and $41,1S3,160 on October 1, 1900. Surplus Itestnred to Clrenlntlon As tho receipts of the treasury were greater than the needs of tho government measures wero adopted by tho secretary of 'the treasury for the purpose ofrestorlng the surplus moneys to tho general clrculn tlon, these measures Including prepayment of Interest nnd nn offer to purchase 4 nnd 5 per cent bonds up to $25,000,000, nnd no tlco thnt tho $25,304,500 then outstanding of tho 2 per cent loan of 1S91 would bo paid on presentation. Up to November 1 tho redemptions under this notlco wore $23,109,500, leaving' $2,255,000 outstanding Tho bond purchases under tho call for 4 nnd C per cents nmounted to $19,300,650 with nn additional $2,373,602 for premiums Tho exchange of 5 per cents, tho old 4 per cents and tho now- 3 per cents for two per cent consols under tho provisions of the financial act, has proceeded steadily, The total amount of tho exchangeable se ctirlttes outstanding was $839,146,340 and by Juno 30 $307,125,450, or 36.6 per cent of them had been converted Into the new twos. Tho premlumss allowed under tho provisions of the law amounted to $30, 73.652 nnd In tho transactions $30,404,850 was paid out 01 tno treasury, alter mo adjustments of Interest nnd somo other nccounts. Tho saving of Interest effected by tho operation Is placed at $42,692,771 and the net saving at $8,604,317. On Octo bcr 1. out of $296,755,130 In bonds hold by tho treasurer as security for the circu lating notes of national banks, $203,075,000 wero new twos, Total Amount of Money. The aggregate nmount of money of all kinds in circulation on October 1, 1900, Is estimated at $2,113,294,983, an lncrcaso ct $1S0,810,774 In fifteen months, of which $94, 440,930 was due to tho enlarged use of gold and gold certificates. Tho Increnso per cnpltu wuh from $25.31 to $27.10. The por capita of gold at tho latter date waB $10,60, which Is greater than that of all the currency in 1862, while tho total of gold Is greater thun all tho circulation nt any time previous to July, 1S79, On October 1, 39.24 per cent of the total circulation was in gold nnd gold certlll cntcs, 26.'i5 In silver dollnrs, silver cer tificates and treasury notes, 15.30 per cent In United States notes anil 15.11 por cent In national bnnk notes. It Is a significant comparison that on Juno 30, 1890, the per contngo of United States notes was 22.58, Twa years earlier It was ns high as 32.07. While tho volumo of United States notca trcasuty notes and silver certificates is limited by stntutory provisions, tho stock of gold Is constantly growing. Tho metal lie stock of money Is estimated for Oc tober 1, 1900, at $1.059.2SS,820 In gold, $566. 355.367 In silver dollars and bullion and $S6,000,748 in fractional silver coin, an ag gregato of $1,711,644,935. StrriiKt hcultiK of Cold Standard The act of March 14 strengthened tho Biinranteo for tho maintenance of tho gold standard, both In providing for Hi" - ting apart of a reserve fund and In adding ouo-hnlf to the JltO.OOO.OUU, whn.li in ,.u prnctlco of tho department was formerly maintained without specific statutory re quirement. The ratio of tho reserve to the fixed volume of United States notes was raised from 28.85 to 43,27 per cent. While the ratio of tho new reserve to tho sum of both classes of legal tender notes was originally only 34 per cent, tho gradual re tirement of the $86,770,000 of treasury notes outstanding at tho passage of the act will reduco tho demands on the fund to that extent. Tho Inflow of gold in consequence of material conditions, prominent among which Is a favorablo trado balanco averag ing $363,2S3,C09 In the last three years, will also co-operate with the statute. I'nper Currency .eivly IsNiieil, Tho amount of paper currency stamped with tho seal of tho department and pro- pared for Issue during the year ended with September, 1900, was $523,192,000, against $362,412,000 In tho year procedlng. Tho redemption of worn material was $303, 119,821 In the later period and $255,027, P8Q in tho earlier. The Increasing demand for notes of small denomination has been so heavy and so fully met by tho dupart ment that taking Into account tho gold coin, only $426,045,022 ot the estimated total Mrcllll ot 2,113,!94.9S3. on October was 0 denominations larger thnn S20. The operations of the trcrisury nnd Us branches arc conducted In Increasing ratio ' "'; "eeli. of ih. ij!ljj.r in tlint roln having Increased J64I.OS0.001 nnd the disbursements $560,642,128 ocr 1S99. There Is nn Increase In the circulation of standard sliver dollars in the autumn of each year, followed by their return to the treasury a few months latrr. This Is an Incident to tho movement of the crops and to the free delivery by tho treasury of such coins. The nmount In circulation on November 1 wns $73,479,469, Tho provision was made by congress for the Increnso of the subsidiary coinage to $100,000,000 havo been a great convenience and the department, through the mint, has been ablo to supply nil demands for these coins. The nmount of them In circulation, which In January, 1890, wns only $51,202, 140, rose by October 1, 1900, to $79,432,191. The distribution of minor coins from the offices of the trensury and mint during the fiscal year amounted to $3,174,971, against $1,926,983 tho year before. AlNtniice In MovIiik Crop. The treasury each year Is called upon to furnUh small denominations of paper currency for uso In tho movement of the crops. The amount of theeo exchanges at the BtibtrcaEurlcB In New Orleans, St. I.ouls nnd Chicago up to November 1 this year. was $8,436,000, against $3,970,000 In 1839. Tho act of April 12, 1900, provides for tho substitution of United States coins for the Spanish coins of Porto Hlco, estimated by experts at $5,920,000 pesos, nt the rate of sixty cents for each peso. Tho exchange im begun on May 1, when the provision went Into effect, nnd by August 20. th-i sum of $5,470,227 pesos had been received nnd paid for In $3,282,140 of Amcilcun money. Counterfeit Detected nnil l)etro) eit. During tho fiscal year there were de tected nnd destroyed nt tho ofllces of the treasury $11,146 In counterfeit silver cer tificates, coins and notes, 3,277 five cent ploces, nnd 121,652 ono cent plece3, Cotn porlcon with tho previous year shows no significant changes, excepting In tho num ber of spurlos minor coins In circulation, which nro rnpldly on tho increase. Counter feit gold coins art rare, only thirteen hav ing been presented at the treasury during the year. The operations under tho new financial law lnvovlcd great changes in tho bonds held by the treasurer In trust for national banks to secure circulating notes and public deposits. Tho total of these bonds In tho treasurer's hands Increased during the year from $229,088,110 to $284, 378,040. Uouds of tho stato of Arkansas, for $160,000, formerly belonging to tho In- dlnn trust fund, havo been paid. Tho national bank notes presented for re demptlon during tho year amounted to $96,982,607, or 37.25 per cent of tho average volumo outstanding, and Increase of $6,144 30G over 1S99. Tho expenso Incurred In tho redemption and assortment, Including $31, 767 for tranfportatlon, amounted to $122,985, which sum will be apportioned nmong tho bnnks nt the rate of 1,33558 of their notes redeemed.

Germany Is now passing through a period of reflection, Bclt-cxnmlnntlon and a somewhat vague ncertalnty as to her future, according to United States Consul Ucnernl Mason at rnnkfort, who has transmitted to the Suite department n comprehensive review the conditions which hnvo beon pro ductive of a threatening crisis In many brunches of German Industry. "In many branches of trado and manu- fncturo the limit of profltnble production Beems to have been renched," says General Mason, "nnd this, together with tho scar city nnd high rate of money Incident to liberal Investments In nil sorts of Improve ments nnd new enterprises, has brought on relapse which has recently cnused a gen eral decline In most Industrial securities." 'Thoughtful Germans," nays Mr. Mason, 'are nt a loss to determine whether the distressing condition of textile, hardware nnd other branches of trado Is the Inevita ble reaction following a protracted period of Intense nctlvlty or whether n scrlom crisis In business Industries actually Is nt hand. The temporary stoppage of exports o South Africa nnd to China Is felt to be responsible In large measure for present conditions." 'Aside from the local conditions which exist In Germany," says tho consul gen eral, "by far tho tnott Important and ominous element In tho problem Is the new nnd enlarged rolo which has been assumed by tho United States ns a source of supply of coal and metals. The first reports that American coal has found a market in Frnnce nnd Italy, nnd had even been tested successfully for gns-maklng purposes In London, were recalled hero with Incredulity amounting to resentment. While dealers nnd certain consumers hailed the prospect of a new source of supply from beyond the Atlantic with delight, the general sentl ment of tho press was distinctly hostt'o and Incredulous," Con. ul General Mason recounts tho In cldents that gradually awakened Germany to tho unquestioned superiority ot Amerl can coal. A test of coal on the Ilavnrlnn stnto railway proved It superior to the best of native coal, tho great transatlantic German steamship lines were found to be using the Amerlcnn article exclusively nnd tho big DcutBchlnnd before setting out to hreak the speed record of the sea filed up her coal bunkers ut New York. 'There wns no arguing those facts," says Mr. Mason, "and when a short tlmo ngo It was announced thut West Virginia gaB coal hnd been tested at Hamburg nnd found superior to the Cardiff standard, tho con elusion became unavoidable that only scarcity of tonnago and exorbitant freight stand between tho coal famine prices In Germany and the cxhaustlcss deposits of the United States." Something ot tho present Industrial dc prcsslon Is attributed to uncertainty as to whnt legislation will bo enacted In tho Reichstag on tho tuturo financial policy of tho empire. A number of reciprocal com mercial treaties will cxplro In 1902, and as their effect has been powerfully to pro mote Germany's Industries nnd her exports, their rc-cnactmcnt or rejection Is awaited with deep Interest.
