EURoPE's DRAIN ON our GOLD.
Secretary Foster WIN Not Stop Pay
ing it Out at Present

ing it Out at Present.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE continual
drain on the treasury for gold for shipment
has led some treasury officials to advocate a
plan to stop the outflow. Their plan is to
refuse gold in exchange for treasury notes
issued under the bullion purchasing act Of
1890. These notes are redeemable either
in gold or silver at the option of the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury. There are $780,
100000 of them outstanding. 1t is learned
that il is this class of money that is being
presented largely at the sub-treasury at
New York and gold paid for it. These
treasury notes are said to held largely in
New York.
The United States notes, of which $780,
100000 are outstanding, are redeemable In
gold without option, but S100,000.0O in
gold is constantly kept on hand TO redeem
them, and for the reason that the holders
can get gold for them whenever they want
TO- they are seldom presented. The notes
are more generally distributed, IL is
said, than the treasury notes.
The Secretary of the Treasury,
however, while he has listened to the sugs
gestions of his subordinate officials, says he
will not exercise the discretion vested In
him and stop the payment of gold for
treasury notes. He says he has sufficient
gold on hand to meet all requirements.
