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.

ATTACHED TO AMERICA.
The British Ambassador Docs Not
Want To Leave Vs.
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.

SUBMARINE MINING.
An Kntcriniso with Some Novel Features
In New South Wales.
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*

POISONED ICE CUE AM.
Four Persons Dying and Others
Saved by Emetics.
Shamokiu, Pa., Aug. 18.—Mrs. Peter
Koch, Mrs. Morris Zimmerman and two
children of Shipman's Mills, near Sham
okiu, are dying from the effects of beiug
poisoned by eating ice cream. The
Koch and Zimmerman families held a
social gathering on Saturday night and
a freezer of cream as prepared. All
persons present ate freely of the cream
and shortly afterward became danger
ously ill A physician was called and
emetics saved the lives of all the party

President Cleveland Devotes a Day
to Government Affairs.
Buzzards Bay, Mass., Aug. 18.—
It was very rainy yesterday, and the
president remained at home, except that
early last night he drove over to the
postoffice. He devoted the entire day
to matters which required his immedi
ate attention and was not at home to
callers. Mr. Cleveland devotes consid
erable time to government affairs even
while on his vacation and generally
chooses the evening hours, but it is not
often that ho devotes an entire day to
such work. Joseph Jefferson returned
from the White mountains last night,
very much improved in health after his
recent indisposition.
COUDEItT MA Y ACCEPT.
Ho Has Not, However, Deceived an
Offer of Justice Jackson's Seat.
Paris, Aug. 13.—1n an interview this
evening with the representative of the
United Press, Mr. F. K. Coudert said
that he had not yet received any offer of
the seat on the bench of the supreme
court of the United States, made vacant
by the death of Justice Jackson. From
the incidental conversation, however, it
was gathered that Mf. Coudert had
some reason to expect such an offer and
that he would accept it when it was
made, but in the absence of a tangible
offer he was unwilling to authorize the
United Press to say that he would ac
cept it.

INDIAN DEPREDATIONS
Women and Girls Brutally
Maltreated.
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.
