WAsHINGToN. Dec. G.-Information
was received at the Treasury department
to-day to the effect that the financial
furry in New York is practically over
for the present, and there is no longer
any prospect Of a panic. About 50, 100000
in gold was taken from the treasury this
week, and about 81 5J0,OO0 more will
probably be lost before the week is
ended. Secretary Foster is confident it
will soon be returned through the regu-
lar channels of trade.
Secretary Foster makes no secret OF his
purpose OF repairing, as far as possible
within legitimate bounds, the serious in
roads on the gold holdings resulting from
recent heavy shipments of that metal to
Europe. 10 that end he has renewed the
policy so successfully employed by him
at periods Of his administration when the
gold balance of the treasury was similarly
menaced by foreign influence.
This policy In brief, is to disburse cur
rency OF any character and denOmina-
ton desired at any point in the nited
states when it may be needed, in ex-
change for gold deposited in any sub
treasury except that of san Francisco.
The person purchasing the currency is
given the benefit OF the Government rate
OF transportation.
1t was learned this afternoon that sew
eral bankers had already taken advantage
of Secretary Fosters plan, and adued
9eU0,OOO 10 the Government gold balance,
and further that there is every indication
that the Treasury viii speedily recoup
the entire amount surrendered recently
to foreign dealers.

Association, on the Witness
Stand.
Stand.


Special to the RECORD-UNIoN.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 20.-The Railroad
Commissioners met to-day and resumed
| the Shively case, with J. S. Leeds, Man
ager of the Traffic Association, on the
witness stand.
AT the outset Attorney Martin and Mr..
Leeds had 4 little passage over the ques-
ton of the comparative cost of carrying
freight. basing it on two tables from the
report Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. Witness questioned whether
the tables were prepared with reference
to the same subject and if they were cor
rect. He was assured they were and that
the railroad companies information on
the subject is at the service Of the Inter
state Commission.
Concerning harsh criticism of railroad
men by Leeds, the latter admitted that
they pursued usual business methods,
but admitted that he had charged the
/ TranScOntinental A Association with in
Justice even when he was President of it
and was party to its system OF business
and followed orders.
Mr.. Martin wished to show that the
comparisons as TO the operating expenses
OF roads here and in the East the condi-
tions being so different, could not be ex-
pected to prove anything. Leeds refused
to acknowledge this.
Mr.. Martin referred to an interview in
which Leeds was quoted as saying that
the people Of this State were Wofullv
ignorant as to the facts of the railroad
question as it exists here, and also with
the methods Of the Southern Pacific Com
pany.
IN ow, since you discovered everybody V
to be 50 ignorant on these Subjects" said
Mr.. Martin, let me ask if you have
yourself found out anything about
them ?'
Not very much" admitted Mr.. Leeds.
smiling; Just a little here and there
But don't you Think" suggested Mr..
Martin, that before you open school
you should know what you propose to
teach ~
Perhaps so,' said Leeds. but he
thought people might be educated on the
subject TO realize their deficiencies in
knowledge.
Then the oft-repeated question was
asked again-why Mr.. Leeds did not
come forward and give affirmative evil
dence in support of the Shively COM
plant, and the answer was the same, that
he did not have faith in the proceeding.
lie thought the commission should put
the railroad company on its defense by
proposing to reduce rates, and then citing
the railroad people to come and show
cause why 1t should not be done.
And you would propose, then, to have
the Commissioners, without taking testi-
mony at all, go ahead ana reduce rates.
Wouldn't it be better to take testimony
before agreeing on the proposed rate?'
Leeds did not think so.
Referring again to the interview. Mr..
Martin asked Mr.. Leeds if he really had
said that the Traffic Association was or
ganized for the purpose of fighting the
Southern Pacific anywhere and every
where that il could be done
Mr.. Leeds said that the Traffic Associa-
ton was not organized for this purpose,
and he had not made the statement
quoted.

CHEYENNE (Wyo.), Dec. 20.-Meager
particulars have reached here by mail of
the killing Of seven persons in the Big
Horn basin few days ago. The basin
is situated near the Yellowstone Park,
and almost inaccessible from the south
during the winter. Hyattsville, the
scene Of the trouble, is ninety miles from
Buffalo, which is thirty miles Of the rail-
road.
According to the story, Bill Mutcher
and Jim HUFF went into the basin to ar
rest some cattle thieves. Mutcher is him
self under charge Of stealing in Fremont
County, while Huff. whose reputation is
rather poor, is said to be a Deputy United
States Marshal. 1t is said these men
came across three alleged cattle thieves
near Hyattsville. The encounter was
desperate from the START, and upon its
conclusion not only the cattle thieves,
but the officers lay dead upon the open
prairie, every body being completely rid
died with bullets. The names of the
cattle thieves have not been received
here.
According TO the same story, Ira Walker
a"d Asa Shuck were found aJ the head OF
Norwood in the same section, with sixty
head Of stolen cattle in their possession.
Both men were subsequently found shot
in the back, but by whom is not known.
although IL is believed they met their fate
at the hands OF some officers Of the law.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 20.-The inquiry at

the information that he is improving.
DR.. Johnston visited Mr.. Blaine at 8
O'clock and remained short time. Sub
sequently he summarized the patients
condition by saying: Blaine is as well
as yesterday morning. He seems re-
freshed after a good nights rest. Blaine
has no trouble in sleeping. There Is no
basis whatever for the report that he had
/ a hemorrhage.
Newspaper men again asked of the
physician to-day what was the real
nature Of the disease from which Blaine
was suffering. They were given to
understand that it was by the wish of
the family that this is kept from the pub
lie. They think il 1t were made public
it would open large field for discussion
that would be intensely disagreeabIy to
the family.
Blaine was resting quietly at midnight,
and no change is looked for during the
night.
NAVAL VESSELS ON THE LAKES.
No Apprehension Felt at the Treasury
Department Concerning Them.
WAsHINGToN, Dec. 20.-The construc-
ton Of revenue cutters on the great lakes
by the Canadian authorities has received
renewed consideration by the officials of
the Treasury Department within the past
few days. since the receipt of a report
made by one of the Lieutenants in the
service to Captain Shepard Of the revenue
marine. In this report the Lieutenant
gives in detail facts corroborating the
points outlined in the Associated Press
dispatches several days ago, showing that
in all essential features the boats are
naval vessels.
The report further states that English
and Canadian officers and citizens ex-
planned that these vessels were built with

The report does not excite any appre-
hensiOn at the Treasury Department.
Secretary of State Foster said to-day that
the report had not officially reached him
yet. He said the treaty OF 1917 places no
restrictions upon the number of revenue
cutters either country may maintain upon
the great lakes. The document Should
be amended in some important Articu-
lars to conform to modern conditions. In
its present shape it is out Of date. and
some Of its requirements are ignored bv

Secretary Foster Does Not Think It
VIII Prove a Failure.
WAsHINGToN, Dec. 20.--Secretary Fos-
ter said this afternoon at the Treasury
Department that he thought it a grave
mistake to assume that the Monetary
Conference will prove failure. The tax
ing of a recess was expected by the Ad-
ministratiOn when the American dele
gates left here. Rothschild's propo-
sition and his declaration that unless
something is done TO insure the better use
OF silver among the nations serious con-
sequences viii follow, is in itself hone
full indication that prominent bankers
the world over feel the necessity Of reach
ing an agreement OF such a nature as
would secure approximate uniformity
the world over in dealing with the ques-
ton. The Secretary, as far as he is per-
sonally concerned, says all he expected of
the preliminary conference had been ac-
complshed. The general feeling of the
conference was even more favorable than
anticipated.
