Nov. 9. fSpeoial.) The Irish International exposition has been a sourre of strife ever since It started and It is keeping up Its reputation to the eloio. At the beginning; It wo denounced by the Hlnn Felnors and a large, section of the Parliamentarians a anil-national, It be ing argued thtt Instead of encouraging the development of Irish Industrie II only gave foreign firms an opportunity ol' advertising their wares In Ireland. Noi that It In about to clone, it has furnlsh'd the subject for a bitter controversy be tween the lord mayor of Dublin Mr. Nanettl, M. P. ond the traders of the Irish capital. Thrro Is no denying thut from the point of view of the promoters the fair has been a success. Tho best proof of this Is that It Is proposed to re open it next year. It has attracted hun dreds of thousands of visitors to Dublin and lo view of this fact the trouble whluh has arisen is all the nmrc sur prising. Nanrttl Attack Fair. A few days ago Mr. Nanettt, in a public speech, made a bitter attack on the fall, -ring It hud wrought nothing but Injury to Dublin. If he had stopped with this general statement his position might have been understood, fur there Is no doubt that the fair attracted a host of unde sirable characters us well as of desirable visitors, but Mr. Nanettl declared that the fair had Inflicted untold losses on the shopkeepers and hotel-keepers. This brought a chorus of denials from the shop keeper and tho hotel men. who declared vith one volee that they have never known such a prosperous season cslnco they have been In business, and that they were unanimously In favor of the con tinuance of the fair next year. A real and Justifiable, complaint, how ver, is that made by several Irish manu facturers against tho management of the fair. Many of tho exhibitors have taken advantage of the fair to flood tho country with cheap foreign goods and some ot thniu even have palmed off as Irish man ufactures the cheapest linltutlons mado in jUIrmliiKhaiu and In Herman)'. Is Uie Giant's Causeway going to Amer ica! This Is tho question which Is at pres ent agitating the whole of Irelaud. ' Every one who has visited the north knows that wonderful natural formation of basaltic pillars which tradition has it waa built by the giant, Finn MeCouIl, from material 'Which his grandmother carried over from Scotland lu lur apron. Likely to Be Taken. Away. The. story goes that the apron string a broke on one of the trips, and this accounts for the existence of a few small Islands half way between Scotland and tha Irish coast. At any rate, the storr which Is going the rounds now is that an enterpris ing American syndicate has bought the causeway, and that (Ui English Arm has rerelved a contract to take up the pillars nd ship them to America, where the causeway Is to be re-erected at Coney island or some similar amusement resort. aW far no one has succeeded In finding out put what thn truth Is. Lord Antrim, who If tha lonl proprietor of the cauaeway. de clltirs to talk, nud the Olant's Causeway company, limUed. which controls this great natural wonder, la also silent. It has been suggested that permission bus been granted to do a limited amount of quarrying in land, where there are a large number of columns that could be removed without In any way affecting the character of the causeway proper, and It Is quite possible thst Coney Island mny have a little (limit's causeway made from columns which Finn McCoull'a grandmother really carried over from Scotland. The Royal Irish constabulary Is, of course, jilwsvs a fruitful source of criti cism, but hitherto thst criticism hss been directed rather at the use made of the force 1 than at tho force llacll'. It has been an article of faith almost with Nationalists and t'lilonlsts alike thut the Royal Irish constabulary was tho tlnest police force In tho world, but recently several of the officers thr niS'-tves have been complaining thnt of recent years It has hecomo more and more u military force and len -nd less a police force.. . RecraMs Well Drilled.. A typical complaint was that made in iillier day by a senior district Inspector, who would correspond In rnnk to sn In spector of one of the American municipal forces. He declared that during the last two or three years tho recruits coming to the country districts after a period of training at the headquarters In Iiublln were extraordinarily proficient In drill and could go through thn carbine exercise lteau tlfully. but they knew nothing at all about police dutlesr and many of them had never even opened the )wiico manual. Ho de clares that the entire time at headquarters Is taken up In drilling the recruits like soldiers and teaching them athletic exer cises,' but thut the authorities seem to have lost sight of the fact that the man who has to preserve order In n, bog ' or mountain district and carry out the multi farious duties that fall to the lot of an Irlali policentan, has very Utile usj for marching and presenting arms. Additional point Is given to thesj com plaints by the announcement that Colonel Mr Neville Chamberlain, who bus been In-spector-ln-chief of tho Royal Irish constab ulary Is about' to retire. utr Neville Is a British soldier, and It Is his Influence that has been responsible for the military ten dency In the training of the Irish .llc. It It hoped that he will be succeeded h" pollccmaa and not by a soldier. Another valuublu mlnerul diet over?' U: ; been made at Carnugh. near Keady. County Armagh.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The total known gold engagements psssed the $RO,oon,ooo mark today when Luxard Freres announced tiavlng' secured an additional 11,000.000 In gold In Europe and the National Bank of Commerce $37B,ooo more. Tills makes the totsl for the movement .V),fi30,or. The National Bank of the Rf public of Chicago hus engaged SMO.000 gold for Im port. This makes the total engagements lo data Cl.lJ0.0i0. Thn subtreasury today transferred for banks SS15.O0O. Two hundred and thirty flvo thousand dollars went to Han Fran cisco. SJOO.ono to Chicago, and S180.0UO 'In small lots to other points. On the arrival of gold which has been engaged abroad by banks In other cities, It will be transferred through the subtreasury to Its destination. Tho showing made by the batik stste- meni waa me suDjoct ot satisfaction among those who had been fearing an unfavorable exhibit. The actual loss In cash stands ut IW13.O0O, but it Is apparent that, no loss at all would appear If the figures were those of actual conditions todsy Instead of being based upon the system of averaging the account for each day of the week. The fact that most of the gold Imported reached the banks on Thursday and Friday pre vented Its appearing in the dally averages for the early part of the week. Had it appeared tiey would apparently have been a gain In actual cash. The net decrease In reserve, which Is IROW.SOO, Is larger than the loss In cash, because the Increase of about SS5,O0O,OflO In deposits Increased the reserve nearly ft,0u0,000. This la due to the transfer of loans from the trust companies to the clearing houso banks, and under existing conditions Is not an unfavorable Indication In Its relation to the bonk state ment. With the appearance of the gold which has already arrived, amounting to about $23,000,OCO In the figures for every day of next week, and with fc.7,OH0.000 more to ar rive. It is believed that the reserve will show a substantial gain next week unless extraordinary demands are made from outside.

Trainer Denman was the only person who could approach her by the time the sea son closed, and the elephants were housed In the winter quarters In this city.

WASHINGTON. Nov. . Dispatches from Paris. quoting the seml-olflctsl Temps In protest against efforts of hls.ii protectionists to prevent tho French gov ernment from undertaking further tariff negotiations with the t'nlted States and other powers, are taken In administrative circles here as possibly pvoanglng a willingness on the part of tho French government to extend the modus Vivendi which expires on Lvcember 1. No Information is obtainable here of the character of the counter proposition about to be submitted by the French am bassador. It Is known, however, that his attention has been called to the handicap under which the executive labors in try ing to compromise the tariff situation be tween tho two countries. While t.io rdng ley act gives the president power to max; concessions to a foreign government on certain articles in return for concessions made to this country the list Is so limited that, so far as France la concerned, it practically Is confined to champagne and sparkling wines. Terslstent demands In France that the maximum tariff be applied to articles 1m ported from the United Stales and op position among wine manufacturers to a decreased duty on French wines leaves little on which FreRldent Roosevelt may make trades. France having consented to extend th present tsrlff rates to Porto Rlcnn coffee, pending negotiations.

At the French embassy today 11 was stated that the counter proposition of the French government has not yet been re ceived, but Is expected dally.
