special to THE MORNING GAEL.

WASHINGTON, May 8.-Direetor of the
Mint Leech says: "The present movement
of gold from the United States is not at all
unusual, nor is it so large as to excite any
apprehension of serious drain upon the
gold stock of the United States. This is
the season for the export of gold from the
United States. The total amount exported
to date has been as follows: Gold bars,
to Germany $3.596,00O; gold coin
to Germany s9,52S,O 900, to France S625,O00,
to England s6,1O0,0O0. Total, S25,474.O0o.
The amount exported is not very consider
able as compared with some previous years.
In 1875 aud 1876 the net loss of gold to the
United States was SIG, ,46S, 535. At the rul-
ing rate of exchange it is unnecessary to look
further for the causes of gold shipments than
the payment of the balance of trade, in
Guiding freight and interest, and the strained
financial situation in Europe. The gold
shipped abroad since the exchange Of gold
bars was refused has been exported at a net
loss to the shipper Of from one-tenth to one
eighth of per cent, so that the American
merchant has been the gamer to that ex-
tent. The stock of our own gold coin in
the United States on the first of this
month was approximately $3.50, coo, COO, while
the stock OF gold bars in the mints and assay
offices, belonging to the Government. was
was about $50, ,000, 900. Our mines are pro-
ducing at the rate of S33 100000. Europe can
possibly demand it, and our summer and
fall exports of cereals are reasonably sure
of bringing back what is being taken.

SERIOUS CHARGES.

WASHINGTON, May S.--Land Commits
sioner Carter received rather startling in
formation from Southern California to-day.
He was not prepared to give full particu-
lars for publication. and in fact desired that
the whole matter be kept secret, but said
that the department had been informed by
batch of letters received that the Register
and Receiver Of the Visalia (CaL) Land
Office had unnecessarily been delaying
action on 369 entries made in that district.
The charge had been made that they were
being influenced by some land company
whose Interests caused them to night the set
tiers. The charges are rather serious and
will be investigated. The Register and Re-
ceiver were wired to-day 10 set aside all
other business and look after the demands
of the entrymen who have made com plants.
Secretary Noble decided to-day the ques-
tion relating to the payment for improve
inent5 on the Umatilla Reservation. The
First Comptroller Of the Currency and
Land Commissioner Carter had favored al.
lowing the money received for improve
plents being turned into the Treasury, and
from there it would reach the Indians
through an appropriation by Congress. In
reviewing the matter the Secretary took the
position that the money received for in-
pr0yements ON Umatilla lands Is not public
money in the sense that il shall go to the
Treasury to be used for current expenses,
but funds coming in a direct way to be ap-
piled to a special purpose. He does not

memorial which the Newfound land dele
gates presented on Wednesday, and the
more momentous question of the period OF

the recent series of elections is not con-

KANSAS CITY, May 8.-There is trouble
in the execution OF the recent judg-
ments in the bond cases against
Cass and st. Clair counties. 1t grows out
of the refusal of the Judges of the County
Court to levy taxes for the payment of
these judgments. The Judges in each
county have announced their determlna-

on the people. There arc two judgments
against st. Clair County-one in favor Of
B. ID. Stewart and the other in favor of the
Ninth National Bank of New York-aggre-

When Deputy Marshal Oechsly served the
papers on the Judges yesterday they tcld

they had been elected under promise to
the people never to levy tax for the pay
ment of these bonds, and that they are not

Ole of turmoil and excitement among the
students of Phillips Exeter School. For
several years as the last term neared the
close, several classes have We'd with each
other in displaying flags and other class
insignia in the highest and most inaccessi-
BILE places, aud this class spirit has some
times been carried too far. Last evening
the seniors placed their flag on the school
edifice. which the "middleTs" and "preps"
conspired to remove, while the seniors and
juniors were determined to protect it. The
sacred edifice was locked, but the doors were
forced and the students entered and de-
strOyed a number of pews to barricade the
entrance against the enemy, who shortly
after besieged the building with sticks and
stones. doing large amount of damage.
The rioting was at its height when Prin-
cipal Fish appeared and most peremptorily
commanded the boys to disperse. They re-
paired TO his yard and hooted, eheered and
addressed various epithets to the principal.
About midnight the report of bomb rang
out. This morning an insulting motto
painted in red was discovered upon the
principals house, extending for half the
width of the building. Similar words were
painted upon the fence inelosing the
