FLOW OF GOLD TO EUROPE
1T HAS BEEN STOPPED FOR
THE PRESENT.
A small Financial FURRY In New
York Had but a Short Run-The
silver Cause side Tracked For
Four Years.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-Secretary
Charles Foster said last night in regard
to the alarm felt in financial circles over
the prospect of the large shipments OF
gold abroad that his duty to the public
would be vigorously performed. He will
avail himself of every possible resource
to preserve the parity between gold and
silver as the law requires. He says that
the Secretary of the Treasurer is author
lied to sell the bonds if necessary to
maintain gold reserve.
Information was received at the Treas
ury today to the effect that the financial
furry in New York is practically over
for the present, and there is no longer a
prospect Of panic. Money is reported
easy and exchange has fallen below the
shipping point, so that the heavy expor-
tations OF gold will probably not con.
tinue. Secretary Foster said this morn.
ing that $3,O00.000 in gold had been
taken out of the Treasury this week and
that about $1,500,000 more would
probably be lost before the week ended
Representative Price Of Tennessee, a
prominent free silver advocate, during
last session, has given up all hopes that
the question will be reached by this
Congress and expressed the belief that
the silver cause will be side tracked for
four years.

A FATHERS GRIEF.
His son stole 100000 and Killed
Himself.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 20.-When City
Treasurer Foerstel reached his office yes
terday morning and discovered that
there had been fire and all OF the papers
disarranged, almost his first words were ::
"When Eddie comes down we will count
the cash, although don't think there
was much there"
At this time dozen of officials and
newspaper men stood around. All knew
where Eddie was, yet none had the nerve
to speak. At this moment an employe o..
the office came in and said: My God,
why don't somebody tell him ?"
Tell what ?" asked the Treasurer, as
he finished looking at the statement
which the bookkeeper had just handed
him.
mike, Ned has committed suicide
"Be man Mike" said General Steven
son. When the full import of the SEN
tence was fully grasped by Foerstel, he
looked at the safe. turned pale, and then
didn't speak or look up. The only out
ward sign of grief he was undergoing
was that he seemed to grow twenty
years older.
Acting Mayor Walbridge Immediately
ordered the City Auditor and Comp
troller Stevenson to take charge Of the
books in the office of the Treasurer.
Last night Comptroller Stevenson made
partial report to Acting Mayor Wal
bridge in which he states that Treasurer
Foerstal is $4,000 short in his ac-
counts. The son had wasted it all at
horse races.

the Improvement noted in his condition

worse with time.

ing again. She also denied the story

TO KILL THE RAILROADS
REMARKABL.EB BILL. BECOMES
ALAw IN SOUTH CAROLINA
The Railways To BE Put Into
The Hands OF a Commission
From Whose Decisions There
Is To He NO Appeal.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. 20.-The bill
putting the absolute control OF all rail-

A mass meeting of railroad employees
was held last night and committee
was appointed to wait on the Governor

said: THE bill now is now law. The
opposition of eight or ten thousand rail-
road employees does not amount to a
damn compared with the fifty or sixty
thousand farmers demanding it's pas

infamatory on the mass meeting. All
the railroad employees in the State are
called out for meeting for Thursday
night, and the battle cry will then begin
