THE GOLD RESERVE.

Secretary of the Treasury Foster Says It
VIII Be Maintained.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. - Secretary
Charles Foster today expressed himself
freely to reporters respecting the alarm
felt in financial circles over the antici-
pated large gold exports. He said: "My
duty wtll be performed in the interest
of the public welfare as vigorously as if
my term of Office was not soon to end.
Every resource at my command will be
availed of to preserve gold and silver as
am commanded by law"

and with the money thus received can

to permit the free use of cash received
for gold to again obtain gold,"

phasis.) II firmly believe, with the re-

recommended to congress in my annual
report that the reserve be increased from
800, 900 900 to $l25 000,000."
AS the secretary's report was prepared
before the present abnormal drain of
gold to Europe started, the secretary
reasonably claimed credit for fully an
ticipating the present pressure and
taking all precautions to meet it.

This is Democratic year, and it will
be signalized by any number Of pleasant
things. Not the least of these will be
the New Years edition OF the HERALD.
This publication will contain an ex-
hsustive resume of the events OF
the past year, and will be scat
tered broadcast over tie United
States. No doubt our patrons will, as in
the past, extend generous support to
this issue, of which an unusually large
number of copies will be printed. Its
letter press will be devoted to accurate
descriptions OF the city and county Of
Los Angeles and their leading indus
tries, and it's advertising columns Will
tell of the development OF business In
our midst. The merchants and busi'
ness men OF the city will be interviewed
by our solicitors, and we are confident
that they will respond liberaily. 1t

TIE HERALD has maintained for some
time that James G.. Blaine is suffer
ing from Bright's disease, and that
his malady was liable to prove fatal at
an early date. This melancholy view of
the distinguished gentleman's illness is
borne out by this mornings dispatches,
which state that his physicians and
family now openly admit that he is
suffsring from Bright's disease, and that
death is imminent at almost any mo-
ment. The sinking epell which the
sufferer had yesterday morning certainly
gives the case serious aspect, and had
it not been for the skill of the attending
physicians, America would even now be
mourning the death of one Of her most
distinguished citizens.

Bitter Feeling Against Beatty More
Alleged Victims.
PITTsBURa, Pa, Dec. 49, Feeling
against Beatty, the alleged Homestead
poisoner, among the non-union men at
the mill is very bitter, and from runors
afloat it would seem that he is eafer in
Jail than out OF it. 1t is said an organ.
ization has been formed among the non
unionists to put him out of the way if
he should be given his liberty.
Louis Sim, Hungarian, who worked
at the Carnegie steel works at Home
stead during the strike. died at the Allie
gheny general hospital today, and the
physicians cay it is believed he wac
poisoned. Coroner Mcdowell says he
will have a chemical analysis made to
ascertain if the man died of poison.
Sim was sick eight weeks and was re.
duced in weight from 100 pounds to 80
pounds.
GRRENsBURa, Pa, Dec. 18.-It was
stated here today on the authority OF
physicians who attended case prior to
the last stages, that the statements that
poison was being used on the mill work
ers at Homestead explained the pecu-
liar ailment that killed Samuel Neigh
ley, who came home and died here on
the 10th of last September, after few
weeks, service in the Homestead mill.

MIxNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Dec. 18.-A
special to the Tribune from Alexandria,
Minn., says: A ffightful accident oc.
Cured on the Great Northern railroad
this morning at Nelson station, five
miles eaet OF here. in which eight men
were killed and Ave seriously injured.
There had been collision at Nelson
and wreck train there was
clearing it up. About / O'Clock this
morning the wrecking train cahoose wee
left standing on the main ira, k with a
number Of cars. The east bound freight
was due about o'clock, and az it sp-
preached the switch, the engineer see-
ing the track ahead occupied, shut of
the engine and called for brakes. The
epeed was too great to stop and the en-
gine struck the wreck tram. 1t threw
the caboose on top OF the
next car, setting both on fire.
Fourteen men were in the caboose. One
jumped off, five we're hurt, three were
burned beyond recognition and four
were killed. One was totally burned up
without sign of his remains being
found.
The men killed were wreck-train
hands, and were asleep in the caboose
when the engine struck it. Obergland,
the foreman, was the only one awake,
and had barely time to call to
the men and jump, thus saving
himself, but the warning came too late
for the others who were all killed OF
badly injured. The injured received
prompt medical attendance.

A Long Secret Session Held at Jackson,

JACKSON, Mich, Dec. 1S.-Rumors are
rife that big meeting of locomotive en-
gineers was called here today to consider
grievances. Five hundred engineers
were present. The meeting lasted five
hours behind closed doors, and at the
close Chief Arthur denied the report
that any grievance was considered or
that any existed. His address, he said
related solely to matters concerning the
good of the order, and to enlighten the
members concerning its workings, as
we'll as to impress on them the necessity
of harmonizing and continue united &C.

his hearers, was settled with entire sat
isfaction to them, and he could zee

was in relation to worlds fair traffic.

wages for the period. and a meeting
with the railway officials will soon be
