He Pre5ents It's Outlines in Letter TO
the Bank Governor.
LONDON, Dec. 3--Mr Goschen fearing
that his speech of yesterday with the argu-
ments for and against, may have confused
the broad outlines Of his financial scheme,
presents them plainly In letter to the gov
ernor Of the Bank OF England with tables
showing how the plan would work. He
says: THE Bank of England Ia now per-
mitted to issue 9l6, ,450, 900 against securities,
and also issues an average OF eel, $50 900
against gold. In this respect nothing will
be changed beyond authorizing the issue Of
pound notes. as we'll as higher deuomina.
tion notes Beyond this amount Of e3s, =
100000 the four-ffths gold arrangement
comes into force. Thus, supposng a total
OF e63, ,0O0, 600 in notes issued, the Bank Of
England would hold e4l, $50 900 10 gold, a
balance OF esl 100000 being against the
securities"
THE LIMIT.
Mr.. Goschen desires TO add TO bis original
statement that, should the total issue
amount at any time to 2S9, 900, 900, he
would propose that any issue above that
amount must be fully covered by gold, and
thus avoid removing an indefinite amount OF
gold from circulation. Permission to issue
additional notes against securities by the
payment Of interest would only be given
when the gold reserve reached ESQ ,000. 900.
The rate Of interest would be fixed by law,
neither high enough TO make permission ins
operative or low enough to encourage specu-
latloD.

An Ostrich on tbe Rampare.

An ostrich is not usually regarded as
q dangerous animal, but there is evil
dence to prove Ghat the male bird is
very savage. A Visitor to the California
ostrich farm was recently attacked by
one of these birds. HE rushed against
me-" said the victim. with an impetus
that sent me sprawling upon the
ground. There lay while the In
furiated bird trampled upon me. All
my clothing was torn to shreds and my
body bruised, and would certainly
have been killed had not three men
come to my rescue and beaten the bird
away with clubs.n The proprietor of
the farm was more anxious about the
safety of the ostrich, which was valued
at five hundred dollars, than the visitor,
and the latter will in future admire
the great fowls from the outside Of the
corral.
