Telegrams were received to-day from several of the general agents stating that the meetiug had adjourned tins die, and that uothiug whatever had been done. The failure to form an association is attributed to the notion of the Baltimore and Ohio, which would not agree to any proposition advanced by the other roarls. This opposition ou the of the Baltimore and Ohio is said to bo due to the fact that the last two meetings of the passenger agents were called by A.

The gold deposits during the year aggregated of which $32,456,493 was of domestic production. The silver deposited and purchased was $37,917,020, of which $32,454,644 was of domestic production. The coinage of gold aggregated silver, $30,022,347.

The seigniorage on the coinage of silver from July 1878, to July 1, 1886, amounted to $31,102,303. At the date of the passage of the ooiuage act of 1878, the London price of silver was 55 pence and the intrinsic value of the silver dollar 93 At no time since has tbe price been so high, and last year the decline was rapid, falling to the lowest price ever known. At the lowest price the silver dollar was worth 71 2-10 c. The director estimates the coin circulatiou in the United States, July Ist, 1886, as follows: Gold, $548,330,031 silver, $308,784,220. The production of gold and silver in tbe world during the calendar year ISBS is estimated at: Gold, silyer, at coinage value, nearly $125,000,000.

Tho coinage of tho world for the calendar year 1885, was, gold, silver, $97,000,000. The director estimates that about 1.0 percent, of the consumption of gold in coinage and 10 per cent, of the silver consisted of olil coins and old material remelted.

Winnings of the Baldwin Stables. Git EAT TROT AT BAY DISTRICT. Harry Wilkes Wins the First, fcecond and Third A Great Event.

to the Herald bytlic San Francisco, November 27. New York Horseman thia week, iv a long review of the year's work of Baldwin's atables, eaya: "The Sauta Anita stable stands second to Dwyer Brothers' in the total amouut of winnings for the season. The season of 1885 was not satisfactoiy to Baldwiu and he made an entire change iv hia trainers, jockeys, etc. This was a wise move, and J. L.

Mc- Glcllan has placed himself in the frout rank of the profession by fitting the horses under his care to cope witli their Eastern opponents with uniform results. Much of tho stable's success, however, can be credited to the painstaking, honest efforts of Isaac Murphy, head jockey. Volante was the largest winner, butoousidering age and past performanct Lucky B. was the phenomenon of the lot. For several seasons past this old horse was practically worthleos as a race horse, no doubt due to training, but this season he is a largo winner, and he showed ability to run fast and stay over a uistaneo of ground in thu best company.

Grisetto, Laredo, aud Goliah have shown themselves to be high class two-year-olds, und they should make clinking good three-yearolds, anil it is more than likely that the stables will be stronger than ever iv 1887. During the season, not including the Pacific Coast fall meeting, Baldwin's horses started in 195 races, of which they won 54, ran second in 31, third iv SB, aud unplaced in 75. The total winnings iv stakes and purses foot up the grand sum of of this sum Volante won Silver Cloud, 113,815) Grisette, Laredo, $0014; Mollie McCarthy's Last. $8792; Solid Silver, $7355; Estrclla, $7290; Goliah, Bonita, iliOO; Lijero, $490; Glen Almond, $405; Santa Anita Belle, $75. Peuilennis aud Rapido were the only borsts who failed to get placed in the races they ran.

The former ran Id four aud the latter in one race. THE BUi THO T. Mrrry Wilkes, (lie Ont Ahead. San Francisco, November 27. of the greatest trotting matches that ever occurred of this coast, and one which has been the subject of much interest.all over the country, took place at Bay District Park to-day.

Tho attendance was tho largest seen here in many years, estimated at nearly ten thousand. There was a heavy influx of visitors from outside of the city, most of the sporting fraternity all over the coast being present. The weather was most favorable, tbe sun shining brightly, while not a breath of air was stirring. The fair sex wero present in goodly numbers and wero much interested in the sport. The match was for a purse of live thousand dollars, three thousand to the tirst horse, liftetu hundred to tbe sccoud and five hundred to the third.

The following horses started; flurry Wilkes, tiny Wilkes, Arab, Antevolo aud Charlie Hilton. Oliver who was advertised to start, did uot make his appearance. Betting wa3 very heavy and lively. Before the first heat Harry Wilkes was a big favorite, selling for one hundred and twenty dol'-rs, Guy Wilkes bringing fifty, and Hilton and Antevolo comprising the field, selling for forty. A good start was effected for the first heat, Arab and Antevolo slightly leading.

They maintained the lead to the quarter, when Harry Wilkes moved up and was hading the procession by a length at the half. When the threequarter post was reached, Harry had increased his lead to two lengths, while (Jay moved up to second place. Coming down the stretch, Harry inoreased his lead and jogged iv an easy winner, Gay second, A.ntevolo a good third. Time, Arab went lame and was with- I urawn after this heat. Pools before the second heat lold Harry $100, field $25.

They were sent off to a capital start, Harry and Guy slightly lcidiug, Before the eighth pole was reached they boii; broke badly; Guy, however, was first on bis feet and immediately assumed the lead, Harry toting badly. At the quarter they were all struDg out, Guy leading, Aulevolo second, Hilton third, Harry fourth fully lifteen lengths behind. Going down the backstretch Harry trotted very fast and decreasod Guy's lead to a half dozen lengths. When they reached tho threequarter pole Guy was leading by three lengths, Harry now being second. By a terrible burst of speed down tho stretch he was nearly on even terms with tho leader 100 yards from the string.

At thin point Guy broke and Harry forged ahead, winning the heat by a half length, Guy second, Antevolo third. Time, After this beat it was considered almost certain that Harry would win and there were no pools sold. After several attempts they were sent off to a rather bad start in which Harry was three lengths in the rear. Guy took the pole and trotted very fast. He was first at the quarter by a half dozen lengths and at tho half by the same distance, the others strung out, Harry being last.

When the three quurter pole was reached Guy was still several lengths iv the van, while Harry was now second. Harry seeing no show for this heat made no i tlort aud Guy came in an easy winner by six lengths, Harry second, Antevolo third; time, 1 The enthusiasm that prevailed now knew no bounds. The spectators in the grand stand cheered loudly, while the ladies wero seen to jump up in tbe seats at wave their handkerchiefs wildly. Tho rosult of this heat did not seem to influeuce betting, as the talent still stuck to Hurry, and he continued a hot favoiite. Fourth They got the wont to a fair start.

Ou, the li st turn Harry took the pole and was leading Gray by two lengths at tho quarter, Antevolo third. At the half the positions were unchanged, and when the three-quarters was reached Harry increased his lead to three lengths. Tbe race was all over now and Harry Wilkes crossed the wire first by three lengths, (Iray second, Antevolo third, Hilton last. Time, 2:15. the fractions of the last mile were quarter 35, half three-quarters 1:41.

I Special to the Herald by the Aisociated San Francisco, November 27.

special from London iv tho Call this morning says: The arrest of John Dillon ia the leading topic in London. The clubs are much excited over the affair and naturally approve the decision of tbe Government. In political as well as club circles the opinion is generally expressed that Parnell aud other Irish leaders will be likely to find themselves i before the opening of Timothy Harrington, M. of the Irish National League, in an interview said: "I regard the prosecution of Dillon as a great victory for the Irish party. By its action the Government admits Uncomplete failure of their rule in Ireland under the existing laws and have taken the first step in a series of prosecutions, imprisonment of Irish leaders and prohibitions of meetings which will doubtless follow.

If Dillon goes to prhon the Government is likely to have a very uncomfortable time of it, as it couldu't possibly have seized any one who will win greater sympathy in Great Britain and Ireland." THOMAS O'CONNOR'S STATEMENT, New York, November Power O'Connor cables from London to the Star: "The Nationalists rejoice at the prospect of being brought to close quarters with tho Government, aud have no fear of the result-. The people were never more united than reports from Ireland represent them to be. It is the universal opinion in Liberal circles that any attempt at strenuous coercion in Ireland will be resented by tho English people and bring about Home Rule as the only solution of the difficulty. The Nation desires that it be peacefully aud justly settled," THE POST'S CORRESPONDENT. New York, November 27.

The Evening Pout's London special says: Coercion is back agaiu and in all probability a few days will see the Purnelite members iv prison. Reduced to its simplest form the Government's proceedure, which is precisely that which was formerly taken against Healy and Davilt amounts to offering Dillon tho choice of holding his tongue or going to prison. He will of conrse promptly accept the latter alternative. Then O'lirien, who left by a mail train to join Dillon in Sligo, will denounce the government iv United Ireland, which will be suppressed. By this time Parnell will bo compelled to appear upon the scene in defense of his lieutenants and take the leadership in the struggle.

If the government ventures to arrest him there will be war. Indeed it is difficult to see how they can avoid it. Such is the generally accepted forecast." EXCITEMENT AT DUBLIN. Doblin, November 27. Messrs.

O'Brien. O'Kelly and Mac Donald, Nationalist members of Parliament, arrived to day. Great crowds had assembled at the railway station to greet them. The authorities would not allow the Commoners to address the people and the police cleared the streets amid much excitement. DESTHrCTIVE I'IHE.

48. FOREIGN. The Campbell Divorce Case Continued. JIORE DISGUSTING DETAILS. Bold Bobbery of Mails Near Letters Killed of their Contents.

to the Herald bu the Atmclnled 1 London. November the Campbell divorce case plaintiff 's counsel closed her side to-day. Lady Miles was cross-examined. Certain letters written by witness to defendant were produced, and she was asked if they were hers. She aaiJ they were, aud added that when she wrote them she thought she was writing to a man of honor, not to such a person as Lord Colin Campbell had turned out to be; that she still thought a woman's letter should be considered sacred.

Lord Colin had told the witness that he was endeavoring to obtain all of tho information be possibly could against his wife, in order to sue her for dtvoroe, aad had subsequently told witness that he had failed to obtain any. Mr. Russell, plaintiff'a counsel corrected bis openiug statement by adding to it that Lady Campbell when she married defendant brought him a fortune of £300,000. Russell then give not oe that case was closed. Robert Bannallyne Fiuley opened the case for the defeuse.

He said it afforded an inexpressible relief to Lord Campbell to have an opportunity to defend himself in open court from the gro-s and cruel implications which had bsen put upon him and from tbe charge of adultery which had been trumped up. Lady Campbell's mother hadbeen told the nature of defendant's ailment before marriage, but she nevertheless urged on the union, saying her daughter was willing to act merely as a nurse to her husband, and even wrote to the Duke of Argyto to press upon him a fulfillment of engagement. Daring the Koster season of 1882 the Duke ot Marlborough, who has been corresponding with her, was afterwards seen in Lady Campbell's company. They visited Leigh Court at the same time and their bedrooms there adjoined. Doubtless, Finlay contended, the Duke of Marlborough and Lady Campbell at this time were criminally intimate, if they had not been before.

After this Lady Campbell went to Paris and on thia journey she was chaperoned by Lady Miles. They remained in Paris one month, the Duke of Marlborough being there also. When Lady Campbell returned from Paris, she sent her maid to Switzerland, evidently as before ssid, because thu maid knew too much, aad that the maid would be called by the defense and would testify. Uu the 12th of August, Lady Campbell went to the Puertleet Hotel and remained there with the Duke of until the following Monday. General Duller visited Lady Campbell during her husband's absence and used to remain with her as loug as three hours at a time.

Once during these interviews, some one wanted to see Lady Campbell. She came out of her room with her disarranged and shouted "not at home" and retnrned to General Buller. In the mean 'lose Lord Campbell outs home unexpectedly, and while he was still in one of the rooms downstairs. General Bailer slipped out on tip-toe without meeting the husband. That same evening La ly Campbell was taken ill.

Lor I Campbell rema ued at Leigh Court from August, ISS2, to February, ISS3, and during that time Lady Campbell went to and from in.lon, aud committed adultery with Dr. B.rd Lord Campbell then knew nothing about his wife's bad conduct, but she had a guilty conscience, and she got Solicitor Lewis to write a letter, charging Lord Campbell with giving her a loathsome disease and refusing to live with him as bis wife. Lord Campbell had never heard of such a charge before, and of course refused to agree that they should not live as man and wife. Jfinlay theu mado a loDg argument, showing that Lady Campbell had been guilty of improper relations with tne Duke of Marlborough, General Buller and Dr. Bird.
