Receipt of Money Expected to Hnvo
an Important Effect on Exchange
Situation, nnd indicates Attempt
to Establish Largo Drltish Credit
In This Country.
I- NEW YOItK, Aug-. 10. Unheralded, but
aroompinlcil by a squad of silent men,
Whoso hip puekets bulged suspiciously, n
lone elncl cur slid Into Grand Central
Station toilay nnd stood, unnoticed,
among tno hurrying thousands.
In the car was $100,000,000 In gold,
Shortly after It arrived the Rold wns
quietly transferred to molortruckB, nnd,
still accompanied by tho squad of silent
rnn, tnken tc the Subtrensury, whero It
was placed tu tho credit of J. I'. Morgan.
It was the (list direct shipment or gold
to this country from lingliind slnco tho
war broko out, and It paid far the ship
load after shipload of arms nnd ammuni
tion that hao left theso shores for Drlt
ish ports.
Strictest secrecy was observed rcgnrd
' ing the shipment. The exact amount
could not bo asccrtalntd dcdnltcly, but It
was learned from good sources that tho
shipment approximated JIOO.000,000. The
bullion was shipped from -Bnglnnd on
Canadian ships, and escorted by a heavy
Canadian guard to the border, where ex
prcsa guards took It to Dangor, Mo., and
thenco to New York.
EFFKOT ON EXCHANGE SITUATION
It is th'o effect on tho exchange situa
tion thru looms up as tho most Important
consequence of a (100,000,000 gold ship
ment. A now low record for sterling
exchange, 4.76V5. wns reached yesterday.
Tnero was no prospect or a. tiso In sight
and the financial district was wondering
from day to day where tho money would
come from to pay for tho largo war or
ders placed In this country by tho
Allies through tho Morgan firm.
Tho gold shipment Indicates that tho at
tempts to establish u largo llrltlsh credit
In this country, negotiations fur which
have been undor way for many months,
did not meet with good results, Tho low
exchange rato naturally added to tho dif
ficulties of Heating n credit here. Until
the present tlmo tho only llrltlsh gold
received In New York hnd come from
Ottawa, but It was widely known that
tho available Canadian supply was very
near to exhaustion. Slnco January 1, 1015.
'approximately JIM.OOO.CW had been Im
ported from Canada. J. P. Morgan & Co.
Imported about 55,000,000 of this amount
and othor bunks Imported the balance.
ENGLAND CONSERVED 001,0.
At the beginning of the war Now York
owed England flCO.OOO.OW In gold. Ap
proximately JlO.OtO.OOO In gold was sent to
Ottawa and deposited thcro to the credit
of tho Dank of England. The JlM.OGO.oou
which was sent here from Canada since
then conseciuchtly represented a balunco
of $13,000,000 In our favor. This admlt-
tedly was a drain on Canada.
England, on the other hand, was con-
, serving litr gold supply, having shipped
only small quantities to Fiance. The re
cent British bond Issuo of 13,000,000,000,
"Which was principally subscribed for In
' England, brought a groat amount of gold
Into thi" (.'arrets of the Bank of England.
The last statement of tho Bnnk of Eng-
land shotted nu Incrcnso In tho gold mip-
ply in a tlnglo week of $31,000,000. This
statement showed that thegold rcscrvo
amounted to mora than $:M,000,000.

The protective tarlrf will be msdo the
prtnelpal Issue nf the Republican partv
In the presidential campaign next year.
Ssnstor Penrose In a statement raid that
thr Ttepubllcirt natlortRl leaders, who hiVe
been conferring with business men and
intnufnelurers recently, have decided to
tvlse the protective torliT as the supreme
Imis at tho December session of Con
groat, piellmlnnry to making tho Issuo the
principal plank In the Republican plat
form next year.
Incidentally. Senator Penrose said thsf
he will bo tho sponsor of tho proposed
hew measure. Ho wilt offer It next win-
tor.
"The duties," ho said, "will be ade
quately protective, and adjusted to pres
ent conditions, Homo of the duties mny
bo lower than they were In the Pnyno
bill, nnd others may be higher, and now
duties will be added, as In the chemical
schedule, whore It Is evident that this
country has become dependent upon Gor
man trusts and syndicates for dyostuffs
and several hundred chemical staples
used In agriculture and the arts."
The Senator, In his statement, sum
marized the results of the discussions
held to date by the Republican national
leaders Into virtual platform for tho Ho
publican party rioxt year. Tho plntfomt,
In addition to protective tarlrf, will In
clude: Abolition of the direct war tax.
No Incrcnso In the lucomo tax.
Modification of the laws enacted by tho
Wilson Administration, which have para
lysed business enterprise nnd Initiative.
Preparedness for war, the program to
Include a greater navy and a sufficient
army, with ndequato provisions for tho
machinery of war. '

All the lending Philadelphia hotels will
be asked to submit bids for tho next In
dopcmlcnco Day luncheon given by the
city of Philadelphia If John II. BaMey.
chnlrman of Council's Fourth of July
Committee, has his way. So, at least, says
Mr. Ualsley, who has been chairman of
the commlttco for tho Inst six years, ami
who bids fair to bo chnlrman ngnln In
1916.
Mr. Balzley made tho forgoing state
ment following criticisms of tho manner
In which money was spent In the recent
A JUl III Ui UUIJ LCIUWIUUUII ,.... WM .
Inir lilrlk fnr several Items of expenditure
of more thnn 6X). Mr. Hnlzley explained
that there had been nothing unusual In
tho fact thnt bids hnd not been nskNl
He sold that It was customary for tho
commlttco to use Its own discretion In
spending the nppioprlatlon inatlo by Coun
cils for tho municipal celebration In this
city.
Tho appropiiatlon mnde by Councils for
the municipal celebration this year wns
II J. 000.
Although Mr. Balzley wns firm In his
contention that there had been nothing
miustii! about the manner of procedure,
ho agreed that It would only bo fair to
allow all the leading hotelH to submit
bid for tho Independence Day luncheon.
The luncheon wns given this yenr at tho
Hotel Adelphia nnd cost 225C.
"All the lending hotel should have n
shut nt It," Mr. Hnlzley said. "Phila
delphia has several Hue hotels and thcro
li no reason why prcfcionce should bo
shown one way or tho other.
"If I am chairman of the commlttco
ngaln next yenr, and I hope to be, I shnll
explu'n to representatives of tho leading
hotels lust what wo want in tho way oi
n 1.iMir.n nn Imi.r.ltnt n nil naif fnr hills '

from each. That would bo only fair."
Mr. Halzloy explained that ho felt ho
had been made the "goal" nt tho recent
exposure of tho fact that bids had not
been asked.
"In icgnrds to tho Independence Day
luncheon, or banquet, It has not been cus
tomary to nsk for bids us I have said be
fore," Mr. Hnlzley remarked. "Never
theless. I think it onlv fair that bids
should be asked. Some Chestnut sticet
business men urged thut tho luncheon bo
held at the Adelphia this year, but 1 sco
no reason why It should be hold hi ono
hotel In preference to nnnthcr. Wo hnvo
at least four leading hotels hero, nnd tho
luncheon should go to tho lowest bidder.
That will be the enso next eur, I hope.
"Of course, Chestnut streot business
men would like the luncheon at the Adel
phia because it brings many people to
Chestnut sticet, and sttungcrs Invariably
rememoer mciiv nrst impressions or a
city. But there Is no reason why" the
snmo should not bo said of Broad street,
and thcro you have tho Walton, tho Uelle
vuo nnd the Illtz-Carlton. They arc all
fine hotels. Besides, thcro uro other flno
hotels In the city."
His dcclMon to nsk bids for the next
luncheon, Mr. Bnlzley explained, was duo
not onlv to his splilt or fairness, but nlso
to the fact thnt he wished to avoid tho
possibility of a "kick" similar to tho ono
made recently.
"I have been in public life for 40 years,"
Mr. Hnlzley said, "und havo never yot
acted in a wav which could be called dis
honorable, and I feel suro I novcr shall.
"I ussurc ou again that bids for tho
next luncheon will be asked from all tho
leading hotels If I nm chairman of the
committee next year."

NATION FULLY PBBPABED
"Bulgaria Is fully prepared nnd waiting
to enter the war tho moment she re
ceives absolute, guarantees thut by so do
ing she will nttalti that for which other
nations already engaged arc striving
numel), the realization of her national
idculs," said tho Premier.
"Tho bulk of these, aspirations lie In
Servian Macedonia, which with Its l.GOO,
000 of Bulgarian peoples wns pledged nnd
assigned to us at tho close of the first
Bulkun war. It Is still ours by right and
piinclplo of nutlonallty. When the Triple
Entente can assure us that this territory
will be returned to Bulgaria and our mi
nor claims in Grecian Macedonia and
elsewhere realized, the Allies will find us
ready to light with them. But theso guar
antees must bo real and absolute. No
mcro paper ones can bo accepted.
"Unfortunately our aspirations nro not
uttalnable by direct force of our own
arms. Wo ennnot go und take the terri
tories which wo feci aro rightfully ours.
Instead, they must bo 'ceded to us by
others for compensation for our arms In
tho general conflict. We have, therefore,
frankly and openly ncccpted tho offers of
both groups of powers In negotiations to
that cuJ. Only by dealing with both sides
do vc feel we can secure best guarantees
thai whut wo desiio will bo attained.
"Uu the putt or thu AllloB, wo are
asked for tho direct participation in the
war of our ontlro army, whoso valor the
whole world knows. On tho part of Ger
many, Austria and Turkey, wo aro only
nsked for a continuation of our neutral
ity until thu end of the war. '
TEUTON OFFEIt DISTASTEFUL.
"Candidly, this latter request wo aro
loath to grunt. Wo cannot foretell what
tho futtlro holds for us. To discount It
entirely and tlo our hands by a solemn
pledgo of continued neutrality would bo
Impolitic, Indeed. We might ngiee to re
main neutial for a shorter period. But
whether we lenuin neutial, or whether
we light, our end and tho motives gov
erning our decision will lemuin the sumo.
"Wo have no disposition to play for
tlmo In theso negotiations. Wo seek only
to gain guarantees that will insure tho
absolute realization of our nutlonul
Ideals, und Just what theso me. it nm.
essential to me, tho world now should
know.
"Thi'io nro now living outside tho bor
dcis of Bulgaria nearly 3,000,000 Bulgar
ians. Tho bulk of these Inhabit districts
contiguous to us nnd constitute the ma
jority of the population of theso districts
N c usplro to havo them united In ono
fatherland. Of this total number, 500.005
Inhabit Busslan Bessarabia. Another
300,000 aio In Itumanla. Others are In
Thruce, but the greater number, about
l,t0),000. Inhabit Servian and Grecian
.Macedonia. It Is there, we frankly ad
mlt, that the bulk of our national asplra
tloiiB also lie.
FOIt A UNITED BULGARIA.
"Already we have more than 600.000
refugees, largely from Servian and Gro.
clan Macedonia. Indeed, half the popula
tion of Sofia conslBtB of refugees. They
are our brotheia of our own blood. Sim
ply caring for them can never be a roal
solution of the great problem. Only a
unuei nuigaria can solve that,
"While Bulgaria Is quite ready to par
ticipate In the war, she does not under
estimate the cost. She knows that Tur
key is strong-far stronger than Europe
yet realizes,
"The fatigue whleh our army naturallv
felt nt tho close of two successive ware
has pawed away. Our troops are In bet
ter condition and better equipped than
ever. They have been organized on the
HuMlan military system. Their officers
have studied In the leading military
schools of Hurope. "
"The whole nation Is provlloned-pre-pared
as never before." v

WHITMAN SEES RILEY
ABOUT OSBORNE PLOT
Governor to Take His Time in
Considering Alleged Scheme
Against Warden.
FLATTSBURG, N. Y Aug. lO.-Gover-nor
Whitman arrived here last night,
motoring from Albany. After half nn
hour's tnlk with Superintendent of Pris
ons Riley, tho Governor declined to talk
about tho situation at Sing Sing.
Riley, after he had talked with tho
Governor, said:
"Thero win be no disposition mnde of
tho Sing Sing situation here. When It
Is disposed of It will bo disposed of either
In my olllco in Albany or In tho executive
chamber. Further than that I havo
nothing to say at this time.
Deliberation is to bo the chief thing
with tho Governor ns far as tho prison
sltuutlon Is concerned. He purposes con
sidering at leisure the chnrges that havo
been mado against Thomas Mott Osborne,
with particular referenco to the source
of these charges. It he ilr.ds, as has
been reported, that thcro hub been any
thing In tho nature of a "frame-up" en
gineered by Bomo of Mr. RIloy'B too zeal
ous f i lends. .Mr. Riley will be requested to
remove thest friends fiom tho positions
they occupy.
In this connection the reports here, cur
rent immediately after tho Governor had
talked with Superintendent Rlloy, bcur
out In practically every detail tho state
ments published yesterday regarding a
"frame-up." Two men, and perhaps
three, uie understood to havo been con
cerned In the alleged plot ugalnst the
warden of Sing Sing.
These men nro employed In Riley's
olllco nnd their names are known to tho
Governor. He is not yet convinced,
however, that they knowingly plotted to
bring about tho removal of the warden
Governor Whitman, as his close friends
have known for months, would be more
than pleased to have Superintendent
Riley resign. He does not feel, howoer
thut he can, without extreme provoca
tion, oust a man In Riley's physical con-

TOBVHANNA, Pa., Aug. lO.-Horses
that aro unlit to do tho lightest hauling
have been given Battery A, N. G. P., to
drag the cannon In the maneuvers which
are being held at Sherman Field. This
charge has been brought against Adju-tnnt-Genernl
Thomas J. Stewart by of
Meets nnd enlisted men of the battery.
"Some of these hotscs aro hardly able
to stand much lees pull cannon," said
Captain Thomas H. Cole, at stable call
this morning. "The ndjutant-genernl hns
sent us the scrub of tho State."
This Is not the only complaint which
has been registered ngalnst preparations
mado for real work nt tho nrtlllcry school
of Instruction. Other ofllccrs nnd the en
listed men, ns well, nro complaining
against the absence of the regulation
blouses. Battery A men nro appearing
In mixed Uniforms, hoping the while thnt
a complement of blouses will nrrlvo before
camp breaks.
The Inferior quality of the horses and
tho Inck of uniform equipment nro only
two rensons why Battery A. which comes
from South Bothlehem. did not make ns
good nn Impression as did Battery C, of
Phocnlxville, this morning. Tho Phocnlx
vlllo men have been In camp a week,
while Battcty A arrived only jesterday.
Tho thermometer was down to 35 de
grees wnen tho maneuvers opened this
morning. Batteries A and C wcro put
through tho paces of extended older di ill,
under Major Mauus McCIookoy, U. S. A.,
while Battery B, of Pittsburgh, and Bat
tel y D, of Wlllliimsport, spont tho morn
ing In trails nnd road drills. In tho after
noon, the order was rovcrscd. Signal
practice wns added.
The formation of nn cfTlclcnt nrtlllcry
corps ns nn Integral part of the National
Guard of Pennsylvania Is the purpose of
the Tobyhanna Instruction enmp, accord
ing to Btlgndler General Christopher T.
O'Ncll. of Allentown, commanding tho
4th Brigade, who, with Colonel Howard
Trexel, visited the Tobyhanna camp yes
torday afternoon. The olllcers stopped
for two hours nnd then proceeded to In
diana by motor to attend the Infantry
encampment there.
Tho battery olllcers, heretofote, who
wcro fortunnto enough, might spend a
week or ten days at n post, and absorb
In that tlmo a few details of artillery
maneuvers. Then It befell them -to re
member the mazo of commands and Im
part them to tho enlisted men.
But this year nil Is different. A new
scheme Is In vogue. It hns been Intro
duced by tho War Department, nnd Is
already disclosing a reformation In tho
Instruction of the nrts and emits of ar
tillery warfare.
The new system Is known as "pairing."
Whenever a militia battery comes Into
camp tho commanding officer directs one
of tho United States field artillery bat
tcilcs to pair Its equipment with the cit
izen soldlciv. Each guardsman becomes
the bailee of a regular's hoi so. harness
nnd ammunition, which he keeps until
camp breaks. The guardsman I. con
stantly associated with tho rcguiw, and
step by step he apprehends tho m, onan
ism of cannon fighting. Tho system thus
followed has proven fnr superior to an,v
previous methods.
