CooL.-The New York Commercial I'D
vertiser says:
Gold continues to be influenced by the an
ticipations Of the conviction of the President.
Operators argue that the popular estimate Of
the inadequacy of the grounds of impeach-
ment will induce a very general impression
that the conviction was secured from party
motives, and that the eonsummation Of the
trial will produce a much more uneasy, and
more demoralized feeling than is now ex-
pected.
They also anticipate that the subsequent
process Of Cabinet making, with possible
changes in financial policy, will produce an
excitement favorable to higher prices for
gold There is strong disposition to buy
upon these considerations, and upon the prob.
ability Of heavy export Of specie for the
next few weeks. The price this morning ad-

IMPORTANT MILITARY ORDER. General
Schofeld returned from Washington evening
before last, and yesterday promulgated the
following highly important order:
HEAnoRs. FIRST MILITARY DIsrRlCr, \
STATE OF VIRGINIA,
Richmond, Va, April Oath, 1898
To the People Of Virginia;
No appropriation having yet been made by
Congress to defray the expenses Of an cleo
ton in Virginia, for ratification or rejection
of constitution and revision of registration
preceding such election, / am not authorized
to order the boards of registration to carry
into effect the ordinance Of the Convention
providing such election.
If Congressional action upon the subject
be SO long delayed that the election cannot
properly be held at the time appointed by the
Convention, June 2nd, Congress will doubt
less substitute late. day, Of which due no.
tice will be given. j. NJ ScHoF1ELD,
Major Geueral.
An estimate of the money necessary for an
election to ratify or reject the constitution
and for revision Of registration was sent by
the General to Washington in January, and
was renewed in March when it was laid be-
fore Congress. Action upon it has probably
been delayedby the impeachment trial. Hence
the necessity for the above order. ss
