THE DRAIN OF GOLD.

NEW YORK, Aug. ia crucial test OF
| the financial policy ofthe government was
| made TODAY when Heidelbach. Yekelher
nina rendered s.. .000 600 in treasury notes,
which were issued on account of silver
| purchases, and demanded for them 81, OOO.'
| OOO in gold for shipment to Germany by
tomorrow's steamer. The treasury
officials made no demur, but paid out
| 81, ,OO0, 600 in gold in exchange for the
treasury notes, and the load was carted
away and put on the steamer
The transaction caused some comment,
AS no home Institution or home banking
firm has ever in the history of the govern
ment made like demand on the treasury.
In some quarters the impression prevailed
that the exporting firm took this step, not
so much to make profit on the shipment,
which in itself is too insignificant for the
banking firm to consider, but really Tor
the purpose of forcing crisis.
Assistant Treasurer Roberts admitted
that it was the first TIM such demand
HAD been made, although gold has hereto
fore been given partly for old and partly
for new treasury notes. He said, in reply
to a question:
mo steps have been taken by the ad-
port of gold The government stands
ready to meet all its obligations in gold
and will pay them in gold. Its free gold
balance now amounts to SIP 600, ,000."
BY this statement of MIR. Roberts 1t Is
clear that the government has already de-
cided on plan to pay all the silver treasury
notes in gold if it is demanded.
Vice President Cannon of the Fourth
National bank. said that he did not think
the gold surplus would be reduced at pres
cut, but that it would be increased instead,
as the treasury is now receiving gold from
the eastern banks for transshipment to the
west, and in the west is paying out cur
rency on account of these shipments. BY
this step last year the government in
creased It's gold holdings Sl4, 100000.

PATTI FAREWELLINo.
She VIII Probably Keep 1t Up for An

She VIII Probably Keep It Up for An
other Twenty-Five Years.
A familiar note comes from Craig-y-
Nos-one the American people often
have heard before and one they will
continue to hear for many a year to
come. It is the voice of Nine. Patti sing
ing that same old chestnutty song of
one more last farewell tour of the
United States. Nine. Patti, observes
the Chicago Tribune, has been making
farewell tours of this country these last
haf-dozen years, and each one has
been the last, positively the last. Each
one would have been the last had the
receipts fallen off, but for some in
scrutable reason they do not, and this
induces Nine. Patti TO tear herself
away from home, to go through the
agony of another heart-rending fare
well, to shed briny tears OF sorrow, and
gather in another fat installment of
American dollars. And this she will
continue doing, probably, to the end of
the century. She is the fin de steele
singer of her time. She may even come
up, resolutely if not freshly, persistent
ly if not tunefully, in the next century
and begin a new career even in her old
age, for as long as there is an American
dollar in sight she will make the effort
to reach for it, painful as it may be to
her.
1t apparently makes little difference
that Nine. PATHS repertory is shrink
ing down to a few threadbare tunes
which have become rusty and frayed by
long and constant service. 1t seems to
make no difference that each time she
comes to say farewell and express her
grief she sings worse than she did be-
fore. The worse she sings the more she
charges, the more she laments, the more
the people mourn, and the more freely
they pour out their ducats to assuage
her sweet sorrow at parting. As Nine.
Patti is still of robust constitution, ap-
parently has many years before her,
and her love of money grows by what
it feeds upon, there is apparently no
reason why she should not keep on fare
yelling for twenty-five years to come,
which will bring her 20 the year of
grace 1917, by which time she may not
have more than one tune left, and that
only the ghost OF a tune, but that tune
will be utilized so long as Z can raise
dollar. Anna Bishop and Ole Bull kept
on farewelling until they were in the
seventies and their heads were white.
Then why should not Adeiiua and NicO-
lini indulge the same sorrowful and
profitable practice? II the American
people lore 70 pay for the privilege Of
saying last and fond farewell TO this
amiable couple every year it is not IN
human nature for them 70 resist the
temptation Of an annual display Of
grief. however wearing it may be

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 15.-John P.
Buchanan, governor of Tennessee, has
bolted the nominee of the Democratic
party for governor, and today, in lengthy
address, announces that he is an indepen-
dent candidate for governor and asks the
vote of all citizens regardless of past party

have been treated badly by the Democratic
conventions, county and state; that he
represented the true Jeffersonian Dem
ocracy. and that the Democratic conven-
tion which refused to nominate him re-
nonnced the true principles of Democracy
ennunciated in former platforms.

yention Thursday next to nominate a
candidate for governor, and this fact has
led to Mr.. Bucl alan's announcement Of

NEW YORK, Aug 15-J. S. Clarkson
president of the National League of Repub.
iican clubs, has issued notice postponlng
the date of the Republican national
leagne convention, called to meet at
Buffalo, Sept. l, TO Sept. 10,
This postponement, says the notice,
is done with the concurrence and
advice of Chairman Carter of the
national committee, because the earlier
date will prevent the ATTENDANCE of large
number of Republican clubs from the
western states, where the harvest of the
enormous crops will not be finished by
Sept. 1st. A much larger number of clnbs
