NATIONAL TREASURY Gold Reserve Reduced $6,000,000 in a Day. A Drain Seems To Have Begun— Speculation as to What the Ad ministration Will Do To Maintain the Reserve—Heavy Exports ol Gold Likely To Occur. Washington, Aug. 13.—The drain upon the gold reserve of the treasury of the United States, foreshadowed in these dispatches for some time past, seemed to have begun in earnest yester day, when the officials were advised of the withdrawal ot' $1,650,000 from the sub-treasury at New York for export. This condition of affairs has occasioned much speculation as to the means that the administration will employ to main tain the gold reserve or replenish it should the probable withdrawals reduce it below the amount which it is deemed necessarv for the government to hold. It may be stated almost authoritatively that as between unother issue of bonds and the calling of an extra session of congress that the former will be re sorted to. Large Withdrawals. Yesterday's withdrawals were the largest on any one day since the con tract with the Belmont-Morgan syndi cate went into effect last February. They reduce the gold in the United States treasury to $101,802,308, or a loss of more than $6,000,000 from the highest point it reached after the syndicate had made its final payments last month. On July 0 the gold reserve reached $107,541,375, being higher than on any day, according to the treasury's official "ten days'" statement since February 20, 1898. Between the two dates named $102,400,000 United States bonds were sold for gold a prices aggre gating $183,000,000 and the gold reserve, which was something over $05,000,000 in January, 1893, replenished as it has t>een by these bond sales amounted yes terday to a little more than $101,000,000, or a net loss of $140,000,000. High Rate of Exchange. Department officials are loth to dis cuss the effect on the treasury of re newed gold shipments or to express an opinion as to their probable extent, or when the shipments will cease, or whether the bond syndicate will feel it self bound to replaco the gold, as it did the first large withdrawals after its pur chase of bonds. With exchange at $4.90 1-2—an exceedingly high figure— the opinion is generally expressed that gold exports to the extent of .S2:I,I)MII.OIHI or $30,uu0,000 are likely to occur before Oct. 1. The only thing that is likely to reduce the rate of exchange is heavy shipments of American cereals. Aside from the decline in the gold reserve the treasury situation is regarded as en couraging, as the receipts are gradually approximating to the expenditures. The excess of expend*uers over receipts for the past two years amounted to $107,- 000,000 and for the month aud a third which has elapsed of the current fiscal year, $15,000,000. But the receipts are increasing, and officials express the hope that by Jan. 1 next they will equal the expenditures or nearly so. ATTACKED BY STRIKERS.

London, Aug. 12.—Sir Julian Paunce fote, British ambassador at Washington, who has for some time past been in Europe on leave of absence, has just re turned to London from Dresden. In an interview Sir Julian said he had been deeply affected by the remarks of the American press regarding his reported transfer from Washington to Berlin as Sir Edward Malet's successor as Great Britain's representative at the German capital, adding that it would be hardly possible for him to refuse the post at Berlin should it bo offered to him, but that ho intended to return to Washing ton in September at the expiration of his leave, his family following him in November Sir Julian expressed him self as being warmly attached to America, and said that he and his family felt as much at home in Washington as in Loudon. He now regards it as for tunate that he has escaped being ap pointed to fill any of the diplomatic vacancies which have occurred in Europe in recent years, and hopes to remain in Washington for sometime to come. When questioned as to whom he thought likely to succeed him at Washington, in the event of his trans fer to Berlin, ho showed a disinclina tion to discuss the matter, but inti mated that, in his opinion, it would be unwise to appoint a novice to the post.

It is proposed to carry into effect a project which aims at bringing from far below the lowest depths of Sydney harbor, New South Wales, the coal which geologists had predicted would be found there, and which has actually been tested by diamond-drill borings. Transport, in a recent issue, contains a very flattering account of the scheme now being floated on the London mar ket from which the following par ticulars are obtained: Important coal fields have been de veloped both north unci south of Sydney—at Newcastle and Bulli—but up to the present the intervening area has been left practically untouched, altho\ gh plainly shown on the govern ment geological maps of forty 3'ears ago. The unquestionable advantages whicl) would follow the opening otf coal mines in the very heart of the capital of the colony have led to the formation of a company, and induce our contemporary to take a most sanguine view of the outlook. Sydney is an im portant shipping port, where the lines of many steamship companies con verge, and the coal of the bed in ques tion Is in demand for bunker use and export. The borings were made under the superintendence of the miners' depart ment of New South Wales, partly on account of geological interests and partly with the very practical ulterior view of raising revenue. The seam was found within 30 feet of the depth predicted by the geologists, in a bore hole 2,700 feet deep. For 1,500 feet the borings passed through a compact sandstone, claimed to be impermeable to water. The seam itself is 10 feet 8 inches thick, of which 6 feet is clean coal free from sand. The shafts to be sunk will be within 200 feet of deep water, so that the situation will he unique, the saving on cost of transpor tation from the nearest mines now working being about 75 cents to $ 1 a ton. The parent company has secured a surface site of small extent, but has concessions over 1,400 acres below ground (and water), and it is expected that several other collieries will be started, for which there is said to be room. There is nothing extraordinary in mining under water, as implied in the statements. This has been done on the Cornish coast and in the copper and iron mines of Michigan at Silver islet, Lake Superior, but the opening of great collieries in a large shipping port, with a delivery from the shaft mouth direct]into vessels alongside, is some thing which only the mines of Wash ington and British Columbia can rival. It is also proposed to utilize the smaller coal, screened from the hunker coal, for a large electric installation and also to make coke and establish local smelt ing works. THE DOG NEVER SPOKE AGAIN. And the Ventriloquist Received Three ' Hundred Dollars for 111 m. There was once a ventriloquist so 1 poor that he was obliged to travel on foot from town to town to save expense, much after the manner of the gontle- I man of adventure in Grimm's talcs, says Harper's Young People. One day he was joined on the road I>3* a dog as for saken as himself but who seemed de sirous of becoming his companion. i They journeyed together to the next ! town and entered the tavern tired, hun ' gry and penniless. Not being troubled with the inconvenient refinement which ! comes from a long line of gentle an cestors, the man had developed the I quality known as cheek, so he and tfto ; dog sat down to eat a supper for which i they could not pay. The room was full of loungers and the | stranger took a conspicuous seat, i "What will you have?" asked the only i waiter the place employed, and the 1 order embraced nearly everything on 1 the bill of fare. I "Hut I want something for my dog, | too," he added. "Ask him what he will I have." The waiter muttered some thing about "Whatcher giving us," so the stranger said: "What, don't you like to? Well, Hruno, will you have j beef or fish?" "Heef every time," said Bruno, look ing with mild brown eyes at the waiter. "And what do you drink?" : "Water, thank >ou," said Bruno. By this time the landlord and every one in the place were eager with sup pressed wonder and gathered about to hear the dog talk. The ventriloquist feigned indifference by eating with avidity, while the land lord was evidently considering some thing. His cogitation resulted in his I jflfering the stranger three hundred j dollars for his wonderful talking dog. i The ventriloquist appeared to hesitate a moment, then said, abruptly: "Yes, you may have him for three hundred j lobars." ; When the money was paid and the I ventriloquist was about to leave ho turned to the dog, patted him affection ately, and said: "Good-by, old fellow; I you've been a good friend to me." I "You are no friend of mine," re ! turned the dog, "to sell me to another master. As you were mean enough to >erve me such a trick I'll have revenge. I'll never speak another word as long 1 *s I live." The ventriloquist then made off with j all possible haste. Capped the Climax. An exchange tells that a good story WHS lieurd the other day of a father and mother who were trying to find names for their twin babies, who, by the way,were girls. It was decided ; that the father must name them. After I casting about and finding no names that exactly suited him he determined to end the strain on his mind and named them Kate and Duplicate. In the course of time another pair of twins came and they were boys. This was j the husband's opportunity to get even | and he wanted his wife to christen the | boys. Imagine his feelings when the , mother one ciay told him she had named j them Fete and Repeat. But when the third pair came the father grew fright/ uud named them Max and Climst* STAMBULDFF'S ASSASSINATION. Clllef of Police of Sofia Arrested— Prince Ferdinand Arrives.

A Band of Fiends Captured After a Desperate Struggle—Well Supplied With Ammunition and Stolen Property Attempts Made To Lynch Them Unsuccessful. Wagoner, I. T., Aug. 12.—With the exception of one, the gang of Indians who have committed a series of diaboli cal crimes since July 30 in the territory were captured near Okmulgee last Tnursday after a desperate fight and started for the Fort Smith, Ark., jail, to avoid being lynched. News has been received here that a numbor of Muscogee citizens have gone across country to Fort Gibson to intercept the Missouri Pacific train carrying the fieuds and their captors for the purpose of dealing out summary justice. The gang which began its heinous operations by murder ing Deputy United States Marshal John Garrett at Okmulgee and escaping to the hills of the Creek nation was led by Rufus Buck, a Uche Indian. His fol lowers were Samuel Sampson, Meorna July, Bud Lucky, alias Lucky Davis; Albert Stake and Levy Davis. The day after murdering Garrett the gang met a white man and his daughter in a wagon. Covering the man with their guns the Indians took the girl from the wagon and each assaulted her within sight of her father. Their next victims were Ben Callahan and a negro boy, whom the gang met on the road. They murdered the boy and beat Callahan so that they believed him to be dead when they loft the scene after robbing the man of money, boots and saddle. At the country stores of West and J. Nerrburg, at Oiket, the murderers and robbers held up the owners and took away every thing they could carry. Next in their path of crime they met two white women and a girl fourteen years old. All were repeatedly assaulted by the fiends, who added another murder to their list. The girl's feet and hands were tied and the unfortunate creature was assaulted until life was extinct. By this time the country in the vicinity of these crimes had become aroused. Federal and Indian posses, including the Creek light horse guards, in command of Capt. Edward Barry, and Deputy Marshals Jesse Jones, M D. Irwin, Samuel Hayes and other de termined officers, started at first to cap ture or kill the murderers of Garrett that being the first crime heard of. Thursday afternoon the pursuers came up with the gang twelve miles from j Okmulgee and divided, one half going to a place of ambush, into which the j other party drove the gang from the | summit of a hill. A fight with rifles | and revolvers followed, in which Capt. Barry fell from his horse, a bullet | grazing his head, and three horses were killed. Five of the gang were captured alive, but the sixth, Lucky Davis, sscaped. In the possession of the murderers were 1.000 rounds of ammunition and a groat quantity of stolen property. They were takon to Okmulgee, whore a mob of citizens, bent on lynching them, sur rounded the officers, but the latter escaped to Muskogee with their prison ers. Another mob with ropes and rifles awaited their arrival, but again the posse cheated the mob of its prey by getting sufficient warning to land the gang in jail. This was Saturday night, and the town was kept in au uproar all night by the attempts to lynch the In dians and the efforts of the business men to prevent mob violence. The mob was finally quieted long enough to allow of a third escape of the posse and j prisoners on a train for Fort Worth, j DEPREDATIONS BY YAQUIS. A Prominent Mexican Killed and Federal Soldiers Attacked. Tucson, Ariz., Aug. 12.—Word was received her to-day that at sunrise, Aug. 4, a gang of nearly 100 Yaqui Indians attacked the Santa Rosa hacienda of Don Juan do Bojorquez, thirty miles from Guavmas, Mexico.
