,ut it should be said that

but it should be said that
year ago the gold reserve ran to a lower
point than now. Deducting all gold liabil
tiles that were likely to be presented, there
was at that time left balance of free gold
amounting to only $104, ,000,0 600. To meet
the emergency that is threatened it is pro-
vided in the bank charter act that when
the gold coin and bullion reserve falls below
500, 600, 900 the secretary of the treasury
shall suspend the issue of gold certificates,
and in accordance with this provision it is
not improbable that Mr.. Manning will soon
be compelled to resort to the powers con-
ferred in that act. Those who have stud
led the subject are at loss to understand
how the suspension of the issue
of gold certificates is going to
increase the gold reserve. Last year, when
the gold reserve ran down so low Secretary
Folger increased it by increasing legal ten
der note payment at the New York clearing
house to at least so per cent. of each days
balance, but as this ratio of payment has
been maintained since, it is clear that other
means must be found to counteract the
present drain. Some are inclined to the
opinion that Secretary Manning may en-
deavor to protect himself by largely in
creasing the payments in standard dollars,
and it is even limited at the treasury that
clearing house balances as well as other in
debtedness may be paid in a great part, II
not entirely, with coin dollars, and that,
too, within short time.

The Presidents Patience.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. May S.-President Cleve-
land is man of wonderful patience. Since
his Inauguration he has been beset night
and day with Office seekers. These he re-
ceives with affability, giving to each sutfi-
cient time to state his case. The result
has been that his time has been wholly
taken up by this class. With view to
facilitate the making of appointments more
expeditiously the president contemplates a
new and very sensible departure. This is
to confine the hours for general callers, in
cluding senators and members of congress,
to the hours between in the morning and
noon. In this way he can devote himself
to his desk in the afternoon. One day OF
the week he will reserve exclusively to him
self and he will not receive anybody. There
is much better feeling now among the
class who have been criticising the presi-
dents tardy policy in making appointments
Some of those who were loudest in their
complaints now see the wisdom of Mr..
Cleveland's course. They are satisfied that
in the end everything will work out well.
1t is seriously believed that good many
appointments would be made if the polti-
clans would go to their homes and abandon
Washington.

half-breeds are routed by him they will
double round this way in order to
effect a junction with Poundmaker.
A party that went to Moosomin's reserve
two days ago report him gone north. Tracks
of large number of cattle driven in the
direction of Jack Fish lake were dis
covered, and other evidences of fight in
that direction. We may wait here couple
of weeks before anything is done. If Mid

he will march this way, and, being joined
by us, proceed against Poundmaker. A
number of Indian signal fires were seen
in different parts to-day. The picket will
be doubled tonight. The wounded are all
making good progress towards recovery.

Illinois Election Frauds.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, May 8.-A Virginia,
ILL.,, telegram says that all arrangements
have been made to canvass the Cass county
vote to-day, but State Senator Rinehart
Dem had arrived there and after he had
consulted with the county clerk, it has
been given out that the canvass will be
postponed several days. Senator Rine-
hart had a consultation with number Of
Democratic members of the legislature be-
fore leaving Springfield.
Senator Merrill visited three towns in
the Thirty-fourth legislative district yester-
day to investigate the charges of alleged
fraud which have been made. He says he
discovered in one place, Pennsylvania
township, that the polls were not opened
until p. M, when the Republicans rushed
in and obtained seventy majority. At
Athens he claims to have discovered that
sixty-five illegal votes were cast. Another
question he raises is that of the tickets
used, which read for representative of the
general assembly, W. A. Weaver. The
point he makes is that the Thirty fourth
district should have been on it, A meeting
will be held this evening for the purpose of
considering the advisability of contesting
the seat.

SYRACUSE, N. Y. May s.-AIiss frankie
Thompson of Pennelville gave birth to a
child recently, and has since mysteriously
disappeared. A search has been kept up
for three days, but no trace of her has been
obtained. On Saturday night Miss Thomp-
son, who is "a years old and lived in the
family of George Benedict, climbed from
her chamber window, leaving the following
note in her room:
''Dear Mother: Don't think ill of me for
committing this rash act, for have nothing
to live for. Be kind to my darling Nina. She
is all the world to me. Forgive me. Mr..
Benedicts folks need not think they are to
blame, for they are not, and / hope they will
forgive me, for don't care to live any longer
May God bless you and keep you in His ten
der care. FRANKIE"
About two weeks ago she received let
ter from man who had been paying her
some attention and it seemed to have de-
pressing effect upon her. Nina, referred to
in the note, is her ilegitimate daughter.
A closely-veiled woman, supposed to be
Miss Thompson, was seen at o'clock on
Sunday morning walking ON the railroad
track. The letter she received is said to be
from a man named Owens of Syracuse, and
she left an envelope in her room directed to
him. but no letter could be found The
case is shrouded in great deal of mystery.
By some it is thought that she is not dead,
but has gone to New York

Treasury Improvements.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May S.-The committee
which Representative O'Neill of st. Louis
got appointed to investigate the condition
of the basement of the treasury presented
a report, calling for the expenditure of so
much money that Secretary Manning is un-
decided whether to go ahead with the i'm
provements or wait for legislation by con-
gress. The plan suggested by the
board provides for fues to carry off
vitiated air, with system for
supplying fresh air to every
room in the building, and for thorough
renovation of the basement, tearing up old
wooden floors and replacing them with con-
crete where necessary and and entire re-
newal in the plumbing. In the meantime,
it is recommended that employees in the
basement be supplied with quarters else
where. The committee is considering the
advlsability of constructing one or more adj
ditional stories in order that the basement
might be permanently vacated, but made no
such recommendation in their report.

| Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, Man., May 81. M. Rae,
Indian agent at Battleford, arrived in the
| city last night. He gave some particulars
this morning regarding the siege of Battle
ford, in addition to his impressions as to
the result Of the rebellion. Rae, in COM
pany with George Applegarth, farm in
structOr, started from Battleford one week
from last Wednesday. They started about
o'clock in the morning. Mr.. Rae had his
own team. Before they had got out far
they sighted four mounted Indians, and
deeming discretion the better part of valor,
Mr.. Rae turned back. He procured an
escort of twenty-five men and again started,
| making the journey in safety and without
encountering any danger. Rae is inclined
to take very gloomy view of the situation.
He thinks all the Indians will be up in
arms and that a bloody Indian war is un-
avoidable. He says the Indians are well
armed and trained. The government, he
says, entirely undertakes the strength of the
Indians and the seriousness of the situation.
The Indians, with bows and arrows, will
| fight as well as our troops. He thinks the
whole country will be aroused in no time
and all the tribes will be on the warpath.
He knows that runners have been sent out
| the troops. He saw some of the worst In
dians in the territories at Swift Current and
other places as he came along. Pound
maker would send for Big Bear and they
would be strong allies Indians do not fight
like white people and so they would be the
most formidable enemies. He did not con-
slider that Factor Mclean and other white
captives had any chance of escepe in the
| world They might be alive vet. but would
be sure to be murdered the first battle that
would take place in which Big Bear was in-
| terested. While Mclean was in Fort Pitt,
Col. Morris and himself had sent messen-
ger, telling him to vacate the fort and burn
it. Inspector Dickens was also ordered to
leave the place, but would not do so. Nc
Lean reported that they could not get away.
Rae brings with him copies of the Battle
ford Herald, givinga continuous narrative
of events, but no new facts of importance
not mentioned before.

Ended Her Sorrow.

MONTREAL, May S.-About six months
ago there came to Montreal from New
York handsome young couple, who rented
rooms from Miss Bissonnette of No. rs
Vitre street, where they lived together for
three months as husband and wife, when
the man disappeared. The girl, who was
very pretty, was in despair and told her
story to Miss Bissonnette. She said her
name was Gussie Martin, that her father
was prominent New York broker and
that her parents tried to make her marry a
man whom she greatly disliked and she
eloped with the lover of her choice. After
she had told her story she seemed reckless
of her fate, and Miss Bissonnette, suspect
ing that all was not right, notified her to
leave the house on Monday. About 10
o'clock that morning, two girls rushed into
Miss Bissonnette's room and said that Miss
Martin had attempted to kill herself. Miss
Bissonnette ran up to Miss Martins room
and found her lying on the floor in an un-
conscious state. She was taken to Notre
Dame hospital, where she died. The ply
sician says death was caused by eating
snuff and taking large quantity of NOR

JORDAN,s REFORMS.
Extensive Changes in the Bureau
of Printing and Engraving.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May S.-The new treas
urer is chuck full of ideas. He raises
question as to the legal status OF the great
reserve fund of S156, 900, 900 in United States
notes. According to his view United
States note in possession OF the government
is not an asset or liability of the government
and is not money. A promise to pay III the
possession of the person making the prom
ise is not regarded as factor III calculating
the financial condition of the holder Under
this view Mr. Jordan cannot consistently re-
ceive as money, for which he and his bonds
men are responsible, this immense fund
of S156. 600, 900, which he does not regard
as an asset as long as it is safely kept, and
which would become liability ii stolen.
This question will probably result in Treas
urer Jordan's accepting the reserve under
protest, taking it out of the treasury cash
account, and treating it as a special deposit
unless it would be deemed advisable to seek
permission from congress to destroy it. The
bureau of printing and engraving is to feel
quite extensively the operation Of Mr.. Jor-
dams ideas. There will be ANEW head to
the bureau shortly. Changes will be made.
in the methods of work as much as
personally, mechanically, artistic
ally, financially, and in every
other way. Extensive changes Of the system
are desired in the production OF United
States notes and securities. One OF the
prominent ideas will be to bring the bureau
more closely into harmony with the office OF

sued by his predecessor.

WASHINGTON. May S.-The smoldering
discomfort, which has for more than
month peryaded certain Democratic circles
here. broke out last night in conference,
the results of which are to-day the relgnlng
noIitical sensation. There were present
Democratic senators, representatives ana
prominent citizens from Michigan, Wis
cOnsin. Illinois. Indiana, Missouri, Ken
tuckv. Virginia and elsewhere, mcludlng
several members of the national Demo-
cratic committee. 1t was urged tnat Pres-
ident Cleveland. and nearly all OF his caoi-
net had refused to remove Republican once
holders. even on the ground OF offensive
partisanship, and that throughout all the
departments there were Republicans who
had voluntarily contributed their time and
money to the Republican campaign, but yet
they were only encouraged to remain. 1t
was deemed an offense to even suggest their
removal. The president had been informed
that the greatest
SOURCES OF DISCONTENT
were the postoffices, which are not being
filled by Democrats, while Republicans are
laughing defiance. They blamed the preSi-
dent for not demanding the resignation OF
First Assistant Postmaster General Hay
and appointing an assistant who could aid
the postmaster general in filling the small
offices. They blamed the president for not
removing Republican Office holders in the
states, and giving the offices to the vlctors.
After an interchange of views it was gener-
ally agreed that if the administration con-
tinued to keep Republicans in office the
president should be gently informed that he
must look to the Republicans in congress
for support The president has told us,
said one senator to-day, ''that we must be
conservative in these matters. didn't un-
derStand that we carried the last election ON

We made straightout fight and won.
Whose victory was it? This thing of keep
ing Republicans in Office because they
might feel hurt if removed may be the sort
of politics they have up in heaven, but it
wont do on earth"
Representative Holman says the admin
istraton is moving sufficiently fast with
relation to the offices, and that any one
who would have matters hurried thinks
more of personal interests than of the pub
lie welfare. This is great big govern
ment," he says, land a great many things
have to be considered before appointments
are made. An improper appointment is
public calamity, and it is better to move
SLOWLY. 1t is much more important that
good appointments should be made than to
bother about whether or not this OF that
man is allowed to retain his Office a few
months. 1t is only a question OF few
months and this delay is for the best public
interest"
